It's true, yang's eyes are only a side effect of her semblance. Why she didn't really use her semblance is this fight confused me too, but honestly it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. Neo pretty much curb stomped her without really hitting her all that much. She took it yang quickly and efficiently instead of giving her enough juice to do some serious damage.
