The Nevada Sports Net’s Morning Download highlighted three key headlines for the day:
1. The Nevada basketball team is set to play against New Mexico tonight, with the Lobos playing for a share of the Mountain West regular-season title. New Mexico, currently one game ahead of second-place Colorado State, could clinch at least a share of the championship with a win. The game is listed as a pick’em, and the Wolf Pack will honor six seniors before their final home game.
2. The Wolf Pack softball team debuted at 31st in the initial RPI rankings by the NCAA, now standing at 30th. The team, led by first-year head coach Victoria Hayward, has had a strong start to the season, with pitcher Hailey McLean being named the MW pitcher of the week for the second time. Third baseman Haley Painter is tied for seventh in the nation for home runs.
3. Nevada football announced its ‘Friday Night Lights Spring Showcase’ at Carson High on April 11 at 5:30 p.m., which is free and open to the public. The event will feature interactive activities for fans, including the “Fastest Kid in Carson” contest, with prizes and giveaways. The showcase replaces the traditional spring football game as Nevada changes its spring camp format.
