LAS VEGAS - Powered by a sweep of three Mountain West Conference opponents over the weekend, the surging UNLV women's tennis team moved up 25 spots in the Campbell's ITA College Tennis Rankings released Tuesday.

The Lady Rebels (12-6), who are in a three-way tie with BYU and Utah for first place at 3-0, upset then-No. 32 TCU and then-No. 29 San Diego State, as well as defeated New Mexico, to move up to No. 46 in the nation after starting the weekend 71st.

UNLV will look to extend its five-match winning streak when it plays at Air Force on Friday.
