Las Vegas –  UNLV ticked upwards to #9 in the new ACHA D2 Western Rankings released this weekend. The Rebels, off to an awesome start with new coaches Anthony Greener and Nick Robone, were ranked West #10 in the first two ratings earlier this season.  UNLV has a premier goalie in Terry Martin (90.3% save percentage) plus firepower in goal scorers Cody Williams (26 goals), Bryden Marsh (23) and Chris Jones (10).

The West’s Top 2 ranked teams in the final ratings will break off and proceed directly to the U.S. Nationals. Teams ranked #3 to #10 will go to the Western Regionals in February.

UNLV has eight games left on its 2015-16 schedule. The Rebels resume team workouts on January 4 to prepare for a three-game road trip to Texas on January 15-17.  In order, UNLV will play Texas State, Texas A&M and Texas.
