Third quarter surge leads to victory over Morgan State 66-56
RENO, Nev. (Nevada Athletics) – In the second of a five-game home-stand, a third quarter surge by Nevada women’s basketball led to a victory over Morgan State, 66-56.
Tori Davis led the team with a career high 24 points, while grabbing five rebounds. Lexie Givens went 10-10 from the line and led both teams with eight boards.
Within the first 12 seconds of the game, Nevada was already up as Audrey Roden drove to the basket for a good layup.
Morgan State then tied it up, but Nevada went on a seven-point scoring run to take control of the opening 10. The Wolf Pack ended the first quarter holding the Bears to under 10 points, as well as only shooting 7% from the field. After not giving up the lead once, Nevada took a 14-7 advantage into the second quarter.
Morgan State began to find its rhythm before the half, as Nevada found itself down for the first time with just over four minutes remaining. From there, the rest of the game saw eight lead changes and 10 ties.
A second-half push from Nevada allowed the Pack to jump back in front in the third quarter. Momentum continued to swing back-and-forth well into the third as both teams battled for the advantage.
The Pack closed it out with a ten-point run that allowed them to grab the lead, which they didn’t give up for the remainder of the game.
Nevada will next host the Nugget Classic from November 29 to December 1, with Central Michigan, Southern Utah and Portland participating.
The Pack will first take on Central Michigan on Friday at 1 PM.

According to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and the Department of Public Safety (DPS), snow, freezing temperatures, and gusty winds are expected to continue throughout Tuesday, February 17. Recent storms have already made travel across the region dangerous, with icy roads and limited visibility creating hazardous driving conditions.
Essential public safety and corrections personnel will remain on the job, but all other state offices in the affected counties will stay closed until conditions improve.
Governor Lombardo is urging Nevadans to follow guidance from NDOT and DPS, slow down on the roads, and use extra caution if travel is necessary.
