UNLV junior Jakob Amilon’s main goal this season is to help the Rebels earn a spot in the national college tennis rankings.

UNLV would certainly attract some attention with an upset of No. 5 UCLA, which it will host for the first time in school history at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Fertitta Tennis Complex. The Bruins will be the highest-ranked team to take on the Rebels in Las Vegas since 2005, when then-No. 10 Oklahoma State visited.
