LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV head coach Kathy Olivier invites all fans to join her and her staff when the women's basketball team hosts "Rise `n' Shine with the Lady Rebels" on Saturday, Oct. 15 beginning at 11:00 am in the Cox Pavilion practice facility.

Fans are encouraged to attend and gain a preview of the 2011-12 team; meet newcomers Alana Cesarz, Briana Charles, Danielle Miller and Friederike Moderegger; participate in a question and answer session and possibly shootaround with the team based on time.

Following the conclusion of the event, the Lady Rebels will be available for pictures and autographs on the Cox Pavilion concourse, before attending the 1 pm UNLV volleyball match. Youth basketball teams in attendance will have the first opportunity to sign-up for the November 19 Lady Rebel Tune-up Clinic. Spots for the free clinic are limited, so teams are highly encouraged to RSVP and arrive at Rise `n' Shine early.

Rise `n' Shine is FREE for all Lady Rebel fans, so wear red and come out and support your team. For additional information about the event, or to RSVP your basketball team, please contact Brezya Rhodes at 702-895-3041 or via email at brezya.rhodes@unlv.edu.
