Lady Rebels visit Wyoming today

The UNLV women's basketball team, which has lost both of the Western Athletic Conference games it has played away from home, is back on the road today with a 5 p.m. contest at Wyoming.

The Lady Rebels (10-6 overall, 2-3 in the WAC) will be hoping for a split on the trip. Wyoming is 5-11 overall and 1-4 in the conference while Colorado State (20-1, 5-0), UNLV's opponent Saturday, is ranked sixth in the nation.

UNLV snapped a two-game conference losing streak last Thursday when it beat Southern Methodist, 72-69 in overtime, at Lied Gymnasium. The Lady Rebels are coming off a 78-62 loss Saturday at home to Texas Christian.

Linda Froehlich continues to lead the Lady Rebels in scoring (23.7 points per game) and rebounding (9.3) and steals (2.9). Froehlich, a freshman guard/forward, ranks fifth in the nation and first in the WAC in scoring.

Today's game at Wyoming and Saturday's 2 p.m. contest at Colorado State will be broadcast live on KSFN 1140-AM.
