LAS VEGAS - Linda Fr?hlich and Dayna Gambill both posted double-doubles as the UNLV women's basketball team ran to a 10-point victory over upstate rival Nevada, Reno, 67-57 at the Thomas & Mack Center on Thursday.

Fr?hlich led four Rebels in double figures with 17 points to go with a season-high 14 rebounds and seven assists. Gambill earned her double-double the hard way, scoring 12 points and handing out a career-high 11 assists.

Nevada, Reno (6-5) led 32-26 at the break behind a 17-point effort from Kate Smith. After a quick three-pointer by the Pack, UNLV (8-2) rattled off 10 unanswered points to regain the lead. In a game that featured eight lead changes and six ties, the Rebels finally pulled away on a couple of clutch three-point buckets from Gambill, who led a 5-for-7 effort form behind the arc in the second half.

The Rebels picked up the pace on defense in the second half as well, holding UNR (6-5) to just 32 percent shooting from the field. Smith was limited to just two points after half while the Rebels forced 11 turnovers.
