LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV women's tennis team will be in pursuit of its league-record seventh Mountain West Tournament Championship when it heads to Arizona this week.
Being held at a neutral site, the 2022 event is the first staged since the Rebels won it all in 2019. It will take place April 27-30 beginning with the first round on Wednesday at the El Conquistador Tennis Center in Oro Valley, just north of Tucson.
After enjoying a bye, fourth-seeded UNLV (17-5/7-3 in MW) will begin play on Thursday at 10 a.m. PT and face fifth-seeded Air Force. The draw is a rematch of the teams' final regular-season outing, held this past Saturday in Colorado Springs when the Rebels outlasted the Falcons 4-3 at the academy's indoor courts.
Friday's semifinals are slated for 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. PT while Saturday's championship will begin at 11 a.m. PT. All matches at the tournament will be streamed on PlaySight. Links to the live broadcast and in-match stats can be found on TheMW.com.
Since the event's inception in 2000, Cory has led his program to a sparkling 37-14 record in MW tournament play. UNLV advanced to at least the semifinals every season except for three, including winning it all in 2000, '02, '08, '13, '16 and '19.
