Miners to host Borderland Invitational this weekend

The UTEP women’s volleyball team (1-5) will host their second-straight weekend tournament starting on Friday, Sept. 8, against Samford University at the Borderland Invitational.

In the Glory Road Invitational this past weekend, the Miners went 1-2. UTEP earned their first win of the season in the second game of the invitational and the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday, Sept. 2, against Youngstown State (3-2). The Miners were shutout 3-0 in both the first match against New Mexico on Friday and final match (second of doubleheader) against North Dakota on Saturday.

“For hosting this weekend and next weekend there are few tweaks in our schedule, which is nice because we get to sleep in our own beds and take care of things a lot easier than when we travel and have to plan ahead,” said head coach Holley Watts after the conclusion of the first tournament.
