PROVO, Utah -- BYU's Erin Thorn scored a game-high 19 points to lead the Cougars to a 63-51 Mountain West Conference win over UNLV Thursday night at the Marriott Center.

BYU (15-8, 6-4), which leads the MWC in three-point accuracy (.373), converted 8-of-18 three-pointers. The Cougars took a 40-20 lead into halftime and led by as many as 25 points with 7:07 remaining.

Last month in Las Vegas, the Lady Rebels defeated BYU 73-69. UNLV has yet to win a road game in conference play at the Marriott Center.

Senior All-America candidate Constance Jinks was the only Lady Rebel to score in double figures with 13 points. Sophomore Sherry McCracklin added six points and 11 rebounds.

The Lady Rebels (14-8, 5-4) remain on the road and will next take on conference leader Utah (19-4, 9-1) at 3 p.m Saturday.
