Lady Rebels bring non-conference success into Mountain West opener Wednesday

After 11 educational non-conference games, the UNLV Lady Rebels close out a month-long, six-game road trip at Fresno State on Wednesday, in both teams' Mountain West Conference opener.

"Definitely feel like we've gotten more experience with our non-conference schedule," UNLV coach Kathy Olivier said, upon arriving in Fresno on Tuesday evening. "Our team is definitely understanding what our strengths are and what we need to get better on.

"Every day we focus on those things and we continue to work on growing and getting better."

The Lady Rebels (7-4) are currently 2-3 on their road trip, and look to end a two-game skid after dropping a pair of tight games in the Beach Classic, to UTEP (60-52) and host Long Beach State (67-63).
