The UNLV women’s basketball team clinched its second consecutive Mountain West championship, cruising past San Jose State on Thursday night.
UNLV lost its second consecutive game Tuesday, falling to San Jose State. It’s the first time the Rebels have been swept by the Spartans since the 2016-17 season.
The Lady Rebels were ranked No. 23 by the AP poll Monday, marking the team’s first return to the rankings since 1994.
The Rebels have won both of their games against ranked opponents this season, and they have a shot at another upset when they play the No. 25 Aztecs on Saturday.
Junior center Desi-Rae Young scored 22 points and made two huge plays in the final minute to help UNLV extend its win streak to 14 by beating Fresno State.
Fifth-year guard EJ Harkless tied his career scoring night to lead UNLV back into the win column, beating a battered Wyoming team on the road Wednesday.
