Parker brings rebounding back to Miners

There aren't many areas where the UTEP women's basketball team has room to improve, as its 18-1 record indicates.

But, one area where the Miners have been rather middling is in the statistic coach Keitha Adams always preaches: rebounding.

The Miners enter this Marshall/Western Kentucky road trip sixth out of 14 Conference USA teams in rebounding margin, but that's about to get a whole lot better.

Chrishuana Parker, the chairwoman of the boards, is back on the block.

"It feels great to get out and play with my teammates, help us win games," said Parker, who had 10 rebounds in 27 minutes Saturday against Louisiana Tech, her most boards and minutes since returning from a broken foot a month ago.
