UNLV Volleyball opens NIVC Tournament with straight set win

UNLV volleyball didn’t make the NCAA Tournament but the team will be treated to hosting at least the first two rounds of the NIVC Tournament.

The Rebels took care of business, defeating UC Irvine in straight sets to open the tournament Thursday, Nov. 29.

Head coach Dawn Sullivan said, “It’s huge. This Las Vegas community are huge supporters of us and to play in this environment, that’s where this team thrives. So it’s really fun to be home and get that love that we have from our community.”

The win sets up a second-round matchup against Mountain West foe, Fresno State.
