LAS VEGAS - Fresh off a 1-0 win at preseason conference favorite Utah on Thursday, the UNLV women's soccer team will attempt to claim its first-ever win over BYU as the two teams will face off on Saturday night at 6 pm (PST) in Provo, Utah. The game is being broadcast by BYU-TV, available in the Las Vegas area on Cox Cable Channel 352. The Cougars lead the all-time series between the two 7-0.

The Rebels are 8-2-2 overall, and 1-0 in the conference going into the contest, as they are riding a four-game unbeaten streak. They have also shutout their last four opponents, a new school record, while junior goalie Jenna Huff has a streak of 425 minutes (spanning five games) without allowing a goal. She leads the MWC in saves (67), goals against average (0.71), and shutouts (seven). Offensively, the Rebels boast a balanced attack, as 10 players have scored this year and no player has more then three goals for the season. Nickie Olson leads the team with three goals and two assists for eight points, while Jessica Brown also has eight points off two goals and four assists.

BYU has struggled this season, as brings a 4-7-3 record into the weekend after tying San Diego State 0-0 in double-overtime in the MWC opener for both teams. The Cougars finished last season with a 16-7-3 record, but have struggled on offense this season, having being outscored 17-15 for the year. They are led by junior Jaime Rendich with five goals and two assists (12 points), while Annie Zwahlen has posted four goals and two assists for 10 points. Freshman Erika Woodbury has seen the majority of time in goal for the Cougars.
