She did nothing of the sort, she forced the two to dodge her lightning before leaping between them and forcing the defensive, she couldn't break Surik's lightsaber defense but could overpower her physically. Surik literally stood her ground against her focused asssult whereas Scourge got floored by Nyriss in one strike.
Meetra five days beforehand had suffered on Nathema and after escaping spent several days without any sleep or sustenance besides the Force, then she immediately travelled to Dromund Kaas, a powerful dark side nexus that clouded her ability to meditate and achieve enlightenment.
She was far from at peak strength and she still outperformed Lord Scourge on a nexus the book states he can draw strength from, logically Nyriss can draw strength from the Dark Temple or the Citadel, it is stated Scourge could have drawn power 'emanating' from the citadel as far away as the academy on the outskirts of the city. Nyriss' compound is also on the outskirts of Kaas City.
Scourge made next to no contribution at all in that duel besides an ineffective Force push, Meetra carried them until Revan stomped Nyriss.
Put Meetra at peak strength and remove the nexus and Scourge, I am certain Meetra would have won the battle given the implications of the duel.
