UTEP volleyball sweeps Marshall for first tourney win since 2008
The UTEP volleyball team's three-set win against Marshall in the first round of the Conference USA tournament was like its season.
It began with high expectations, there was some adversity and challenges along the way, there was a big cast of contributors and it made history.
The 25-22, 27-25, 25-19 victory marked the Miners' first C-USA tourney win since 2008 and continued what has become the best season since 1984. UTEP will take on the top seed from the East Division, No. 19 Western Kentucky, at 11 a.m. Friday aiming to make its first tournament championship game since 1984 when it was in the Oil Country Athletic Conference.
