DEONTE BURTON
Nevada and the Reno community
will always remember this six-foot-

bound. Deonte Burton`s clutch
game-winning shots and high-fying dunks never
ceased to wow fans. He has left Nevada with
a long list of accolades to be remembered for,
from starting in every game of his college career
to racking up the second most points scored in
school history with over 2,000, to the loyalty he
showed by staying for his senior year. There is
no question that Burton will be remembered as
one of the Wolf Pack greats.
GRACE HUANG
This Taiwan native has become
one of the best competitors on
the swimming and diving team.
One of Grace Huang`s greatest
honors was being named the Western Athletic
Conference Diver of the Year for the 2011-2012
season. She earned a bronze medal at the
Mountain West Championships as a junior.
During her fnal year she competed in the
NCAA Championships, in which she earned All-
America honors.
ARIELLE WIDEMAN
Arielle Wideman recently
experienced the opportunity of
a lifetime by competing in an
international tournament in China in which
she represented the USA Women`s All-Star
team. The point guard helped lead Nevada to a
winning season with an overall 18-13 record in
her fnal year. She garnered an average of 10.6
points per game and 4.4 assists.
VICTOR OUVRARD
Victor Ouvrard had a victorious
senior season with the Wolf Pack.
He had the second-best singles
record at 21-5, and he was almost
fawless in doubles play with partner Robert
Allan by posting a 20-3 record. Ouvrard was
named the Men`s Tennis Mountain West Player
of the Year, and he was named to both the All-
MW Singles team and All-MW Doubles team.
KERRI SIMMONS
The name Kerri Simmons has a
place in Nevada`s record books.
So although this shot-putter is
graduating, her name will be
remembered for her record-
breaking performance at the Mountain West
Indoor Championships, in which she notched
a mark of 50`6." Simmons also set the second-
best mark in school history for the weight throw
at the New Mexico Classic at 60`7.75."

LEAST IMPROVEMENT
VOLLEYBALL
Most of the Nevada sports had
a solid sophomore season in the
Mountain West Conference.
However, there was no
improvement seen from the
volleyball team who nished
with a 4-28 record, which wasnt
any better than the 4-25 record it
saw during the 2012 season.
JAY JOHNSON
BASEBALL
Leading a team to a winning
season as a rst-year head
coach isnt easy, but Jay John-
son makes it look that way.
Head coach Johnson came
from a previous 8-year stint
at the University of San Diego
as the associate head coach.
in Southern California.
ON TAP
LEADERS OF THE PACK
BASEBALL
vs. Saint Marys 4 p.m. Wednesday
vs. New Mexico 6 p.m. Friday
6 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday
THE SKINNY: The Wolf Pack
scored a season-high of 12
runs and 18 hits on Saturday
to overpower Air Force. The
victory helped Nevada tie
the series with Air Force. On
Friday the Air Force barely slid
by with the win. The Falcons
defeated the Wolf Pack in
their home 3-2. In Saturdays
win, the Pack scored early
and often jumping to an 11-0
lead behind the pitching of
lefty Barry Timko before the
Falcons got on the scoreboard
late. Alas, the Falcons efforts
werent enough to come out
with the W. The Falcons were
able to rise to take the victory
in the final match though. Air
Force barely escaped with
the win by defeating the Wolf
Pack 5-4. Nevada will return
home to face New Mexico to
honor former head coach Gary
Powers on Friday by retiring his
No. 17 jersey.
SOFTBALL
vs. Fresno State 4 p.m. Thursday
4 p.m. Friday and noon Saturday
THE SKINNY: Nevada seemed
to nally nd its way this past
weekend, and it did it away from
home. It earned back-to-back wins
over the Aggies. A ve-run, top
of the rst for the Nevada softball
team, that included a grand slam
by Amanda Weis, lifted the team
to a 7-1 win at Utah State Friday
afternoon. Freshman McKenna
Isenberg tossed nine strikeouts
in a 5-3 victory at Utah State
Saturday afternoon. Erin Jones was
the only Wolf Pack batter to post
a multi-hit game Saturday. The
success only continued on Sunday
with Nevada cruising past Utah
State 3-0. Pitcher Karlyn Jones
particularly shined last weekend.
With a strikeout of the last Aggie
batter of the game, Jones set a new
career-high in strikeouts during her
time at Nevada, fanning 11 hitters
on the day. Jones career-best in
Ks is 12 that she tossed during her
freshman season at Pittsburgh.
She improved to 8-9 on the year
and gave up just four hits. For the
weekend, Jones struck out 19 and
did not issue a single walk.

Point guard Arielle Wideman was a huge reason why
Nevada made dramatic improvements this season
after a last-place nish the year before.
