EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – UTEP Women’s Volleyball head coach Ben Wallis joined KTSM 9 News on Tuesday, Sept. 9, to celebrate a successful start to the season and invite the community to support the players in the upcoming home tournament.
With the new season in full swing, coach Wallis said the team is feeling strong and ready to tackle any challenges.
“We’re really talented. We’re also very veteran. We’re deeply athletic. We got a lot of good young people that have joined our program from a group that returned. We returned 13 players from last year. So incredible. And we brought in five new players,” he explained.
The team has just returned from the Southwest Showdown tournament in Edinburg, Texas, where they remained undefeated.
Now, they are preparing for a home game against UCLA on Thursday, Sept. 11, and inviting the Borderland to celebrate the Sun City Campaign game meant to show El Paso pride.
“Our gym is a special place, and it’s been called Club Memorial for a couple of years now. And so, we’ve got a DJ. We know it’s a big party,” Wallis said.
You can find the team’s game schedule and how to support them on the official website.
