Lady Rebels Wrap Regular Season At Reno

No. 22 UNLV aims to continue winning streak against UNR

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) — The 22nd-ranked Lady Rebels aim to run the table in the Mountain West as it visits UNR for its regular-season finale Tuesday night.

UNLV (27-2 overall, 17-0 Mountain West) faces UNR (9-19, 6-11) at the Lawlor Events Center at 6:30 p.m. With a win the Lady Rebels can become the second Mountain West team ever to finish the 18-game regular-season conference calendar undefeated (Colorado State, 2016). 

It would be just the fourth time a Mountain West team finished the regular season undefeated in conference play. UNLV has not been undefeated in conference play since going 8-0 against the Big West in 1985.
