\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Rebels’ top-5 outing caps a historic fall season that saw them capture\u00a0wins in their first three tournaments for the first time in the program’s 25 seasons. Their team titles came at New Mexico’s Branch Law Firm\/Dick McGuire Invitational, Colorado State’s Ben Connell Ram Classic and Denver’s Ron Moore Intercollegiate. Freshman Kuree Little<\/a> also captured her first career individual title at the Ram Classic.
\n\tThis marked the first time the Rebels recorded four top-5 team performances in the fall since 2014. It’s also just the second time UNLV placed fifth or better at each of its fall tournaments in program history.
\n\tAfter their efforts at the Jim West Challenge, Little and Chen share the team lead for top-10 finishes on the season with three apiece.
