UNLV Volleyball is Back!

As autumn approaches, the excitement of another season of UNLV Women's Volleyball is electric. With three games already under their belt, the defending Mountain West regular-season champions are gearing up for another thrilling season in 2023, and the preseason poll and awards from earlier in the month have only added to the anticipation.

In the league's preseason poll, UNLV garnered 92 points and secured three first-place votes, putting them in a tie for the top spot with Utah State, who also received 92 points and five first-place votes. Colorado State, with three first-place votes of their own, is predicted to finish third with 86 points. Meanwhile, New Mexico and San Diego State find themselves in a shared fourth place with 64 points. The rankings continue, with Boise State (59), Air Force (38), San Jose State (35), UNR (32), Wyoming (28), and Fresno State (15) occupying spots six through eleven, respectively.

Under the guidance of first-year head coach Malia Shoji, the Rebels are building on their impressive 26-win campaign in 2022, which culminated in another NCAA Tournament appearance. The prospect of the Lady Rebels clinching the #1 spot and winning the conference title would mark them as back-to-back regular season champions, adding to their legacy.

For those eager to support the team, tickets are available for just $6 per game when purchased more than 24 hours in advance, or $10 on game day. A fantastic opportunity for die-hard fans is the season ticket package, priced at a mere $50, granting access to all 13 home games. Additionally, discounts are available for seniors, faculty/staff, and active alumni, making it even more accessible to show your love for the team and the Lady Rebels.
