1. Nevada Baseball Faces Crucial Series Against Fresno State
The Nevada Wolf Pack baseball team is gearing up for a pivotal matchup against Fresno State, starting tonight. Currently, Nevada trails three games behind the Bulldogs in the Mountain West standings. A sweep in this series could propel them into a tie for first place, while a series win for Fresno State would extend Nevada’s gap to four games, complicating their chances for a postseason bye. The Wolf Pack previously faced Fresno State in an earlier series, ending with a 1-2 record. With just six games remaining in the regular season, this matchup is critical for Nevada’s aspirations in the upcoming MW Tournament, which offers first-round byes to the top two seeds.
2. Mountain West Football Media Days Scheduled in Las Vegas
The Mountain West Conference has announced that its football media days will return to Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on July 16-17, 2025. The event will feature two athletes from each of the 12 member schools on the first day and the head coaches on the second. This will be the last year for the current 12-school lineup, as several teams, including Boise State and Fresno State, transition to the Pac-12 in 2026, while UTEP and Northern Illinois are set to join.
3. Tahoe Knight Monsters Advance to Second Round of Playoffs
The Tahoe Knight Monsters begin their second-round playoff series this weekend against the Kansas City Mavericks, who concluded the first round with a strong performance. The series kicks off in Kansas City on Sunday and Monday, before returning to Tahoe for three games, with potential game six and seven scheduled in Kansas City.
