The 1989-90 Lady Rebels, coached by Jim Bolla, continue to stand as the winningest women's basketball team in UNLV history with a 28-3 record. The squad set school records for rankings, rising as high as No. 2 in the nation during the season and finishing fifth nationally in the final Associated Press poll. UNLV, which went a sparkling 7-1 vs. ranked opponents, won the regular-season Big West Conference championship with a school-record 17 league victories and went on to dethrone four-time defending champion Long Beach State in taking the league's postseason tournament. The campaign included a school-record 22-game winning streak and a record-tying 13 road victories. Although armed with a supremely deep bench, Bolla's squad had a predominantly set lineup as four players averaged in double figures, led by senior center and Big West Conference Player of the Year Pauline Jordan. The other side of the feared Twin Towers -- Geannine Jordan -- was at forward along with Mandy Hannah. UNLV's top guards were Vicki Lander and Linda Staley. The defensive-minded group allowed just 59 points per game while scoring a robust 83 on the other end of the court. The Lady Rebels would go on to the NCAA tournament before losing in the second round to Ole Miss at the Thomas & Mack Center. The group now becomes the first women's team in any sport to enter the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame.
