MWC 2023. UNLV finished with the best record last year, though Utah State won their tournament and got the automatic bid. What happens this year?

Utah State returns nearly every single starter and I think Rob is proven to be a top tier player developer. I'm puttin USU on the 'peak'!

[Brutus Buckeye]

Vegas hosts the MW tournament at the Cox this year.

The smart money's on UNLV vs USU in the CCG.

I'm going to try and follow some of these teams a bit more this season. These could be future PAC teams lol. Looks like people think UNLV, Utah State, and Colorado State will be the top 3 best this season. All 3 have some tough preseason games.

[JJVb]

Interesting to note. UNLV has 3 former PAC players on their roster: Jenna Howard-setter from WSU, Madi Kelly-pin hitter from Oregon State, and Oliva Mikkelsen-setter from Washington. UNLV has 4 setters on their roster. Maybe going with a 6-2.

Based on who started last year, and senior players, I'm guessing lineup will be:

OH1- Martin
OH2- Arretche-Ramos
MB- Freeman, Quinlan
Opp- Thomas, Prince
S- Howard/Fafard, though Mikkelsen could steal a spot
L- Knight

DS/serving subs- Muraoka, Setla

A couple spots are ? due to losing their libero, setter, and a MB from last year.
