Any volleyball team in America would be better with Vittoria Price.
UTEP is set to play its semifinal match of the NIVC on Thursday and the 6-foot-2 middle blocker from Roswell, N.M. via New Mexico Military Institute has played her role in that with her defense and attacking.
What makes her so special to the Miners, though, are less obvious than stats on a piece of paper.
When matters grow tense, as they did in UTEP's five-set quarterfinal victory against Weber State Tuesday night, when the mood grows grim, Price is the one with something to say.
