The UNLV women’s basketball team signed two players to national letters of intent.

Teagan Colvin, a 5-foot-7-inch guard from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and Elli Guiney, a 5-11 guard from Goodyear, Arizona, will join the Lady Rebels for the 2024-25 season, the team announced Thursday.

Colvin averaged 18.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 5.9 steals as a junior. She was also named league and state tournament MVP while leading Coeur d’Alene High School to a state championship.

Guiney averaged 15.7 points and 6.3 rebounds as a junior. She is a two-time first-team all-state selection after leading Millennium High School to two Class 5A state championships.

UNLV coach Lindy La Rocque said in a statement that Guiney was “one of the elite shooters on the West Coast.”

The Lady Rebels play their home opener against the College of Charleston at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Cox Pavilion.
