UTEP pieced the softball trifecta together on a cool, beautiful, cloudless Saturday afternoon at Helen of Troy Field.
The Miners got highlight defensive plays and got solid pitching and timely hitting and that trifecta led to two wins ... a 5-3 decision and a 9-2 win, a doubleheader sweep of UTSA that leaves the Miners all alone atop the Conference USA Western Division.
UTEP and UTSA came into this double dip duel even, each at 6-3 in C-USA play. The Miners are now 8-3, UTSA is now 6-5. The two do it one more time Sunday morning, playing a single game at 11:30 a.
