LAS VEGAS Nev. (KOLO) – In its final regular season game, Nevada took on rival UNLV in the Silver State Series, locking down a postseason spot with a 1-0 victory over the Rebels.

A second-half PK by Trinity Sandridge is what propelled the Wolf Pack over the Rebels.

Nevada came out strong from the beginning, firing off shots and keeping UNLV off the board. Heading into the break, Nevada was out-shooting UNLV and Alyssa Szarlacki had three saves for the Wolf Pack. 

Neither team was able to connect, taking the 0-0 draw into the second half.

Coming out of halftime, it continued to be a strong battle as halfway through the second 45, it was dead even as both teams had gotten off 14 shots.

Cassidy Bell and Olivia Loomis each got off good looks, but were unable to connect. In the 81st minute, Sandridge was awarded a penalty kick after a review.

Her shot was into the top right corner of the goal, giving the Wolf Pack the go-ahead over the Rebels.

The defense of Nevada held strong through the remaining minutes, taking the 1-0 win and clinching a spot in the Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Szarlacki ended the night with seven saves and Sandridge is credited with the game winner.

Nevada will now play Colorado State on November 3 at 4 PM in San Diego.

RENO — With just five days until Election Day, both presidential campaigns were zeroing in on the state of Nevada with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump rallying there on Wednesday. 

Trump was in the city of Henderson and Harris was in the city of Reno. 

Holly and Scott Gallant drove across state lines from the Sacramento County city of Folsom to see Harris and to energize the Democratic Party vote in Nevada. 

“It’s a close race, every state counts, every electoral vote,” Scott Gallant said. 

Trump supporters were also rallying in Nevada, with the former president seeking to turn the state red in a presidential election for the first time in two decades. 

Mike Madrid is a Republican political strategist and author of “The Latino Century: How America’s Largest Minority is Transforming Democracy.” Madrid said Nevada is known for its blue-collar service industry and construction jobs. 

A quarter of Nevada’s voters are Latino, and there are now more voters registered as nonpartisan in the state than either Republican or Democrat. 

“So there is absolutely a different tactical and strategic approach in Nevada,” Madrid said. “The more Latino it becomes, the more independent Nevada becomes.” 

 Angel De La Rosa was at the Harris rally. He is in a carpentry union and said he has seen both parties work for Latino support. 

“The Latino vote for Nevada is very important because, in the past, the Latino vote made the country, made the election and I think this time is going to be the same,” De La Rosa said. 

The Harris and Trump teams are taking the same tactical approach in these final days, spending their time and money in Nevada, where each campaign now views as a must-win.
