UNLV Rebels

For only the second time in the history of the conference, the University of Wyoming plays hosts to the Mountain West Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Laramie today through Saturday at the Louis S. Madrid Sports Complex.

Despite missing the last five games of the 2014 season with a knee injury, Wyoming junior forward Larry Nance Jr. was named First Team All-Mountain West and to the league's All-Defensive Team today by MW head coaches and a select media panel.

Larry Nance, Jr. scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds, but his shot to tie the game and force overtime with less than five seconds left in regulation was no good. It allowed the UNLV Runnin' Rebels to hold off the Wyoming Cowboys 48-46 in Las Vegas Saturday night.

The Wyoming Cowgirls won consecutive games in the Mountain West for the first this season with an 82-56 blowout of the UNLV Rebels Saturday at the Arena-Auditorium in Laramie.

The Wyoming Cowboys have been tabbed to finish fourth in the Mountain Division during the upcoming 2013 season. The Mountain West Conference is holding its annual Media Days in Las Vegas through tomorrow. In addition to the preseason football poll, the MWC also unveiled its preseason all-conference team.

Behind 19 points from Kaitlyn Mileto, the Wyoming Cowgirls pulled out 64-60 win over the UNLV Lady Rebels on Saturday in Las Vegas. Chaundra Sewell and Chelan Landry came through with clutch plays, as the Cowgirls earned their 20th victory of the season.

The Wyoming Cowboys were no match for the UNLV Runnin' Rebels Saturday night in a 65-42 loss at the Arena-Auditorium. The Rebels built a double figure lead midway through the first half and were never threatened by the Pokes.

The UNLV Runnin' Rebels proved to be too much for the Wyoming Cowboys, as they pulled away in the second half for an 62-50 victory at the Thomas and Mack Center Thursday night in Las Vegas. UNLV shot 48.8 percent from the field and had a key scoring run in the second half that allowed them to take control of the game.
