Looking to add to its three-game win streak, the Lady Rebels (4-1) return to the court after its fall exam break as they take on their former Big West rival Cal State Fullerton Saturday night in Titan Gym in Fullerton, Calif. Saturday's meeting is the 41st between the two schools, which makes it the second longest series for UNLV against an opponent, trailing just the 44-games between UNLV and Hawaii. The Lady Rebels have also posted more wins against Cal State Fullerton, 32, then against any other school.

This is the first of two road games this weekend for UNLV, their first two-game road trip of the season. The Lady Rebels are 1-1 away from Las Vegas this season, with its only loss of the year coming at UCLA, and they won last weekend in Nevada, Reno, by a 90-75 score. UNLV is a perfect 3-0 at home this season thus far.

UNLV will look to continue its strong play on the boards and on defense tonight. The Lady Rebels are outrebounding their opponents by 15.4 rebounds per contest which ranks them third in the country, and they also lead the Mountain West Conference in steals at 12.2 per game (32nd in the nation). UNLV also has the top scoring offense in the conference at 74.6 points per game, while Cal State Fullerton is averaging just 50.8 points a contest.
