Game notes: Nevada was the only WAC school not to post a victory on the opening weekend of the season, going 0-2 against UC Irvine ... Stanford was 2-1 heading into last night's game against Saint Mary's College. The Cardinal played Nebraska over the weekend in Palo Alto ... Mario Rivera, who was scheduled to start Sunday against UC Irvine, will start today for Nevada. Kyle Howe, who was originally supposed to start today, has been pushed back to Saturday against the the University of Texas-Arlington.
