RENO, Nev. - The Nevada softball team is set to travel to Logan, Utah this week for a three-game series starting on Thursday, May 12, to conclude a successful 2016 campaign.
The Wolf Pack kicks-off the series with back-to-back 3 p.m. start times on Thursday and Friday followed by a Sunday morning matchup at 10 a.m.
After playing the top two teams in the Mountain West in No. 20 Fresno State and San Jose State in consecutive series, Nevada will face the third-place Aggies who are 25-23 overall and 11-10 in the MW. The Pack has gone 7-2 against the bottom half of the conference but has struggled against the top half entering the three-game set.
The last time Nevada was in Logan was in 2014 when the Wolf Pack swept the Aggies. Overall, the Wolf Pack leads the all-time series, 27-15.
