UNLV women’s soccer will hit the road for the first time during the 2021 fall campaign as the Rebels head north up the interstate to take on Southern Utah Thursday afternoon in Cedar City, Utah. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. MT/3 p.m. PT and will be available to watch on ESPN+ (subscription required). The Rebels will return home to finish out the weekend, hosting UC San Diego Sunday morning at 10 a.m. at Peter Johann Memorial Field.

 

UNLV went 1-1 on opening weekend at the Las Vegas Invitational, ending the tournament on a high note with a 3-2 win over UC Davis behind three first-half goals. Midfielder Izzy Perez had a stellar start to her redshirt junior season, collecting a goal and an assist in the first UNLV victory of the year. In all, four different Rebels tallied goals with juniors Lourdes Bosch and Alysa Caso each netting one and sophomore Haley Halbersma scoring her first career collegiate goal in the win.
