LAS VEGAS - The UNLV women's basketball team will play its lone exhibition game of the season on Saturday, when it plays at Cal State San Bernardino in a 5 pm contest.

The Lady Rebels, under new head coach Kathy Olivier, bring back four starters and 11 letterwinners from last year's team that finished with an 8-22 record. Leading the returnees is senior center and two-time All-Mountain West selection Shamela Hampton. The other returning starters include senior guards Brittany Halberg and Dominique Harris, and senior forward Raquel Jupiter.

The regular season will tipoff for the Lady Rebels with five straight home games, beginning next Friday, Nov. 14, when they host Sacramento State at 7 pm in the Cox Pavilion.
