San Jose State is 15-5 on the year and 9-1 on the year after suffering its first conference loss of the year to UNLV (1-3) last week.

Nevada, which will travel to New Mexico prior to visiting the Academy, enter the week at 10-11 overall and 4-6 in conference play. The Wolfpack, who dropped a pair of 1-3 contests to San Jose State and UNLV last week, are ranked among the conference's top five in digs (third, 14.66), blocks (fourth, 2.34) and aces (fifth, 1.49) during MW matches. Individually, Bella Snyder is ranked third in blocks during conference matches with a 1.20 per-set average.
