Led by a virtual Great Wall of China, the UNLV women’s tennis team is off to the best start in school history.

Chinese players Carol Zi Yang and Aiwen Zhu — who were ranked No. 41 in the nation in doubles earlier this season — have helped the Rebels to a 15-0 start. UNLV can match the longest win streak (16 matches) in school history Wednesday with a victory over perennial power Oklahoma at the Fertitta Tennis Complex.
