LAS VEGAS--The UNLV golf team remained the nation's top team in the latest edition of the national MasterCard Collegiate Golf Rankings released by the College Golf Foundation Thursday.

The Rebels, who have won four of seven tournaments this spring and a school-record sixth for the season, are in first place ahead of Clemson, Georgia Tech, Arizona and Georgia.

The Western Athletic Conference had five teams ranked among the top 25. After UNLV came TCU in eighth, Colorado State in 18th, Brigham Young in 22nd and New Mexico in 23rd. Individually, UNLV's Jeremy Anderson is still ranked third in the nation, while Arizona's Rory Sabbatini remained the top-ranked individual.

Other Rebels ranked were Bill Lunde in 10th, Charley Hoffman in 15th, Chris Berry in 72nd and Scott Lander in 92nd. UNLV was the only team with three players in the top 15.

UNLV most recently captured the title at the BELLSOUTH Yellow Pages Intercollegiate in Cary, N.C., and will be back in action April 27-29 at the WAC Championships at Poppy Ridge Golf Course in Livermore, Calif.
