LAS VEGAS - The UNLV volleyball team continues Mountain West Conference play on the road this weekend when it travels to Utah and BYU. Four of UNLV's next five matches are on the road, which includes stops at San Diego State and Nevada, Reno.

The Rebels snapped a five-match losing streak with wins over Air Force and New Mexico last week. UNLV is 2-0 since junior setter Nikki King returned from an ankle injury and the Rebels are 8-3 this season with King as the setter. In addition to running the offense, King also notched seven kills in eight attempts for an .875 percentage, while totaling 12 digs.

Senior Leiana Oswald totaled a team-high 34 kills last week and remained steady at No. 2 in the MWC with 4.16 kills per game.
