The Rams dropped the first game in 2019 by a run, before responding in the last two games.
Â
OPPONENT SCOUT
Colorado State will welcome UNLV to Fort Collins, as the Rebels are sitting in second place in the Mountain West with a 21-10 overall record and a 13-3 mark in league play. UNLV has taken all five of its MW series so far this season, including sweeps against Boise State, San Jose State (forfeit) and Utah State. The Rebels had rubber matches at San Diego State and New Mexico.
Â
The Rebels posted an 11-8 non-conference slate, which they faced then-No. 2 Washington, Utah and then-No. 3 UCLA, dropping all five contests.
