The banged-up Miners (7-9, 0-3) put on an inspired performance against the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) (10-7, 3-1) Roadrunners Sunday, losing in four sets (25-20, 19-25, 23-25, 24-26). This was the Miners’ 14th consecutive loss to the Roadrunners; it has not beaten UTSA since 2010.
While the result was the same as the past Sunday losing in four sets, the Miners were much more competitive as they lost two of their sets by just two points.
The Miners were without promising freshmen Irbe Lazda and Alianza Darley, who have been standouts for the team this season and are potential members of the Conference USA all-freshman team.
