It was not too long ago when UTEP volleyball was a struggling program. From 2000 to 2019, UTEP only saw three seasons (2005, 2012 and 2013) with a winning percentage at or above .500 in conference play. This includes the Miners’ time with the Western Athletic Conference and the entrance into Conference USA.
This was until UTEP handed the reigns of the program to current head coach, Ben Wallis.
Wallis was brought on after the firing of Holly Watts. The UTEP volleyball team under Watts did not see a winning season since she was brought on in 2013.
