UTEP women’s soccer will fight to put their city back on the map and gain the respect they feel they deserve on Nov. 2 against the Rice Owls.
The Miners will come in as the seventh seed with their 12-6-2 (5-5 C-USA) record, and will attempt to overcome the odds and beat the second-ranked Rice Owls, who went 11-4-1 and 8-2 in conference play.
Senior midfielder Aleah Davis wants to make UTEP a tough outing and a team no one wants to be scheduled against.
“We are underdogs going in, people underestimated us, so it’s about proving teams and the conference wrong,” Davis said.
