The sets they won and lost could have gone either way. It was a really close match that they lost in overtimeSo they were up 2-0 and lost?
The leak needs to be fixed but aside from that I don't see it happeningMemorial Gym needs upgrades for better fan support.🏐

Tough game coming up. Rice has a strong team
Chance for us to avenge that big loss!Tough game coming up. Rice has a strong team
Utep showed heart the other night against Rice. After those first two sets, they could’ve called it quits, but they fought back before losing the third. They still have a ways to go to beat the WKU and Rice’s of the world but what Coach Wallis has done, is amazing. They even said on the broadcast, that he is such a good recruiter and is getting some looks from top recruits.
On a personal note, I have a very close family friend, whose daughter was being recruited by UTEP. She absolutely loved Coach Wallis and even said that he was one of her favorites but she decided to go to an AAC program that is a much more respected university. And I know we said it about basketball and football recruiting but she wouldn’t even visit the campus because it was in El Paso. She even asked me is it was true that UTEP had a 100% acceptance rate. It’s really such a shame that there is such a negative stereotype of El Paso.
I guess it's a valid point to some, but I'm not sure what the acceptance rate has to do with accepting a volleyball scholarship. Not wanting to come to El Paso for whatever reason is a different story.Utep showed heart the other night against Rice.

So if you’re a scholarship player and you get multiple offers and are getting a free education, some may take scholarship to play somewhere like Tulane versus UTEP just for the prestige of the university. Acceptance rate does matter to some.I guess it's a valid point to some, but I'm not sure what the acceptance rate has to do with accepting a volleyball scholarship.

Also field of study. Let’s say someone wants to get into aviation but has a choice between UTEP and OK State. They would for state since they have an aeronautical programSo if you’re a scholarship player and you get multiple offers and are getting a free education, some may take scholarship to play somewhere like Tulane versus UTEP just for the prestige of the university.

Then IMO acceptance rate has nothing to do with it then. If she thought another school was more prestigious (or if they have her field of study), then that was probably the choice all along once offered. Nice to hear that our coach is a good recruiter though.So if you’re a scholarship player and you get multiple offers and are getting a free education, some may take scholarship to play somewhere like Tulane versus UTEP just for the prestige of the university.

So she actually said to me…oh they take everybody that enrolls and laughed.Then IMO acceptance rate has nothing to do with it then.

Not trying to argue, just saying it would make no difference to me. There are other way more important factors including what you and minerfan listed
That comment is a reflection of the her as a student, not the university athletics.So she actually said to me…oh they take everybody that enrolls and laughed.
