The UTEP volleyball team (4-3, 3-1 C-USA) won in three sets (25-17, 25-22, 25-23) Tuesday to preserve a two-match sweep of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Roadrunners (3-7, 2-2) Tuesday evening at Memorial Gym.
On Sunday, the Miners led for all but the first point of the first set and led 23-20, needing only two more points for victory when two costly errors and a service ace from UTSA’s Thaddie Meyer locked the score at 23. The Miners responded by getting to set point but then gave up three straight points to fall 26-24.
Outside hitter, Paulina Perez Rosas entered the second set off the bench with thoughts of UTEP’s history versus UTSA in the back of her head.
