RENO, Nev. -After picking up its first win of 2015 last weekend at the Molten Classic in Berkeley, Calif., the Nevada volleyball team travels to the Portland Tournament where they will take on UP on Friday, Sept. 4, at 5 p.m. before facing Portland State at 11 a.m. and UC Riverside at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5.
The Wolf Pack went 1-2 last weekend at the Molten Classic which included a convincing 3-0 sweep over Eastern Washington for its first win of the season. The win also marked the first head coaching victory for Lee Nelson, who comes to Reno after spending the last three seasons at Miami where he helped take the Hurricanes to three-straight NCAA Tournaments.
Sophomore outside hitter Madison Foley was a top performer for the Pack last weekend at the Molten Classic where she compiled 29 kills, 23 digs and four service aces over three matches.
