UTEP women's basketball has plethora of new faces but returners lead way

The UTEP women's basketball team has much to replace and bring together, that's always the case when a team has a new coach and it's usually the case anywhere in the modern landscape of college basketball.

As coach Keitha Adams finalizes her first 14-player roster — there are still two scholarships to offer but this could be what UTEP takes into the season — the first thing she focuses on is what the Miners do bring back.

Returners Mahri Petree, Erin Wilson and Adhel Tac, all of whom started games last season and who could make up 60% of the opening day starting lineup, have been leading the way for a team that will have nine new faces (eight scholarship) and breaking in two players who redshirted for UTEP last year.
