The UNLV Lady Rebels basketball team is quietly having an awesome season under head coach Lindy LaRocque.
The Lady Rebels are on a 12 game winning streak after their 104-63 win over San Jose State last Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center and are in first place in the Mountain West with a record of 14-1, 22-4 overall. The Lady Rebels aren’t ranked but did receive two votes in this week’s Associated Press top 25 poll.
In last Saturday’s game, Justice Ethridge scored 18 points to lead five Lady Rebels in double figures.
UNLV will go for 13 in a row on Thursday when they go on the road to play Wyoming at 5:30pm.
