As the volleyball team (23-2, 13-0) completed its sweep against Valley University (17-9, 8-6), fans, families and players stormed the court celebrating UTA’s No. 1 seed in the upcoming Western Athletic Conference tournament.
The 3-0 Saturday win at College Park Center marked the team’s 16th sweep of the season, extending their winning streak to 14. With the win, UTA also clinched at least a share of the regular season championship, and an outright one if they can win over Monday over Tarleton State University Monday.
“We came into this game knowing that they're our biggest competition and that we needed to secure that number one position today, so I don't think there's anything that was going to stop us from doing that,” graduate middle blocker Paige Reagor said.
