LAS VEGAS - The 46th-ranked UNLV women's tennis team (19-7) is hoping the second-most wins for the program since 1991 are enough to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships.

After falling in the MWC title match to BYU, the Lady Rebels will find out if they are headed to an NCAA Regional when the field is announced Tuesday live on national television.

The official announcement for the men is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. PT on ESPNEWS. The women's field will follow at approximately 11:45 a.m. PT. ESPNEWS is located on Cox Cable channel 321, DirecTV channel 207 and DishNetwork channel 142.

Hosting duties are awarded to sites across the country and regionals will take place May 11-13.

Head coach Kevin Cory's squad has posted it most victories since going 20-4 in 2002. They have made five NCAA appearances, most recently in 2005.

The fields for the singles and doubles championships for both men and women will be released by the NCAA on Wednesday afternoon.
