Two UTEP men's basketball players and two women, all reserves, have entered the NCAA's transfer portal as the offseason carousel begins.
Eighth player Efe Odigie and backup point guard Vuk Vulikic plan to leave the men's team, and guards Sabine Lipe and Arina Khlopkova entered the portal on the women's side.
"This really breaks my heart to write, but I have decided to enter my name into the transfer portal," Lipe said in a Facebook post. "I want to thank the El Paso community for welcoming me with open arms, all my teammates who I’ve met while being here and who became my sisters that I never had before, the coaches for everything they’ve done to make me better on and off the court.
