Expectations and tension were high as the Lady Rebels went head to head against the Air Force Falcons during a special event on Wednesday.
It was the annual showing of the Play4Kay Night program, which focuses on bringing attention to breast cancer, and for one Lady Rebel, this was a very personal goal.
Paris Strawther’s mother lost her life to a battle with breast cancer in August 2011 — so Wednesday’s game was more than just a simple match for the Lady Rebels and their determination showed that.
The game was also another attempt by the Falcons to end their losing streak, as UNLV is 19-0 against the Air Force Falcons.
