Rebels Head North For Utah Swing...

Building upon its 13-2 run-ruled victory over Fresno State last Wednesday, UNLV powered its way to a sweep of San Diego State Saturday at Eller Media Stadium. With the two wins, the Rebels improved to 8-2 in the Mountain West Conference and remain a game back of BYU for the top spot.

On Friday, UNLV will play a doubleheader in Salt Lake City against the Utah Utes. The following day, BYU will play host to the Rebels in what could be two pivotal conference games. After the BYU series each squad will have six MWC games remaining in the race for the regular season championship.
