Mavericks dive into Sun Belt Championships

With its regular season in the rearview mirror, the fifth-seeded UTA volleyball team (15-11, 9-7) is set to compete in the Sun Belt Conference Championships on Thursday in Georgia.

“A lot of us want it, we want to win,” senior middle blocker Zhanelle Geathers said. “We just know when we play good volleyball, we can beat anybody.”

In its second season under the direction of head coach J.T. Wenger, the volleyball team is entering the conference tournament with a winning record and as a top-five seed, compared to last season’s sixth-seeded 13-17 team.

“There was some uncertainty on what the program was going to look like,” Wenger said.
