Season review: UTEP women's basketball take big step forward

UTEP women 95, FAU 67 Wochit

Kevin Baker's third season as the UTEP women's basketball coach always looked to be pivotal and the first, most obvious takeaway is that the Miners took a big step forward.

That was tangible. After last year's injury-ravaged 9-22 mark, the Miners won seven more games, three more conference games and went from a No. 11 seed in the league tournament to No. 7.

They closed with victory in the Conference USA tournament, their third straight tournament-opening win under Baker.
