Live Video – Live Stats
Sunday’s game, against Incarnate Word, starts a key stretch for the Rebels as the following weekend they will host current co-leaders Seattle and Utah Valley, and wins over both could push UNLV to the top of the WAC.
UNLV is hoping that a return to its home field gives a spark to its play on offense. One of the top scoring teams in the nation a year ago, the Rebels have struggled as of late in the scoring column, with three-straight one goal contests. Their opponent this weekend have had scoring problems of their own, as the Cardinals have scored just once in the last three games, going into their Oct. 15 contest against Grand Canyon.
One player that has not had problems scoring is Las Vegas native Danny Musovski. The sophomore is tied for second in the nation with five game-winners, and even more impressively, four came in a five-game stretch, all to break a tie score, and two were in the final five minutes of the contest.
