LAS VEGAS, Nev. (November 5, 2025) – Washington State delivered its toughest, most cohesive performance of the young season on Wednesday night, pushing UNLV for four quarters before falling 64-51 at The Pavilion.
From the opening tip, the Cougars (0-2, 0-0 WCC) established a physical interior presence and showcased promising balance across the lineup.
Eleonora Villa powered the offense with 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting, repeatedly creating her own looks against a crowded lane.
The Cougars' defense was highlighted by seven blocks—three from Alex Covill, whose rim protection changed UNLV's shot selection early and often.
