2005 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE 5 6 2005 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE The University of Texas at El Paso is paving the road to success for thousands of students in the region and mapping the future of higher education across the nation. We’re no strangers to the task. In 1966, UTEP -- then named Texas Western College -- changed the face of collegiate athletics. An upstart squad of five African-American players beat Kentucky to win the NCAA basketball championship, breaking color barriers in college sports. This historical event is being depicted in the Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer movie Glory Road, expected in theaters in early 2006. Today’s UTEP, located in the heart of the U.S.-Mexico border, is again breaking barriers and, this time, changing the face of higher education. Nearly 72 percent of our student body is Hispanic, and another 10 percent are Mexican nationals. The majority are first-generation college students. UTEP has embraced this not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to provide access and excellence in higher education. For many of our students, the road to glory begins here. We rank second in the nation awarding undergraduate degrees to Hispanics. We are the country’s only doctoral research intensive university with a student body that’s predominantly Mexican-American. UTEP offers more than 80 bachelor’s degrees, more than 70 master’s-level degrees and programs and 13 doctoral degrees – and counting. We’re experiencing unprecedented growth — record enrollments of nearly 20,000 students, a $50 million building boom and nearly $35 million in research a year. TOP-TIER RESEARCH We rank second in federal research spending among all UT System academic institutions. With new labs and classrooms to support our rapidly expanding academic and research programs, we’re gearing up for more. That’s a solid start to UTEP’s goal of becoming a top-tier research university — exclusive membership that requires world-class faculty, the latest in research equipment and facilities, and $100 million a year in research spending. This spring alone, UTEP received a $169 million in-kind donation of computer-aided engineering software and equipment and launched a new high-capacity network that opens the door to unprecedented collaboration between numerous universities and research centers across the U.S. and Mexico. UTEP was one of only 11 universities nationwide to receive a $5 million “Teachers for a New Era” research grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The grant will help UTEP become a national model for teacher education programs. CAMPUS SETTING: A HISTORY UTEP has long been a major player in the development of the El Paso community. The school started in 1914 as the Texas College of Mines and Metallurgy. After a fire destroyed the school’s Main Buidling, a cluster of castles began to be built along El Paso’s mountains. The buildings’ architecture was derived from an article on Bhutan in “National Geographic” and today, the campus continues to resemble the Himalayan kingdom. In 1949, the school became Texas Western College and in 1967 – a year after TWC won the 1966 NCAA basketball championship – the name was changed to the University of Texas at El Paso. Today, key university athletic and entertainment facilities include the 51,500-seat Sun Bowl Stadium; the 12,000-seat Don Haskins Center; the Swimming and Fitness Center; and the Larry K. Durham Sports Center, a state-of-the-art athletics and kinesiology complex. The university also boasts a six-story University Library, a state-of-the-art Undergraduate Learning Center, and the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts inaugurated in September 2004. A new Academic Services Building opened this spring, and a Biosciences Building, an addition to the Engineering Building and the Paso del Norte Research and Business Complex are not far behind. A five-level garage east of the Union Building and Phase II of Miner Village student housing are planned for the near future. COUNTING TO 100 With these and many more accomplishments to boot, UTEP last year celebrated its 90th anniversary. With that benchmark, the Centennial Commission was formed and charged with developing a vision for the university in 2014 – our 100th anniversary. The Commission of 100 individuals this fall will present their report to the community and recommend long-range goals and strategies to achieve them. Over the past 90-plus years, we’ve paved the way to success for more than 76,500 graduates. Together we will continue to mine the way for the thousands more who will become proud UTEP alumni over the next decade. Go Miners! 2005 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE 7 8 2005 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE UTEP’S COLLEGES The College of Business Administration aims to contribute to the personal and professional betterment of its students by giving them the background necessary for entry into, and advancement in professional and managerial positions.

Following three Quarterbacking the team is returning setter Katie Smith. As a sophomore, she totaled 947 injury-mired rebuilding years, the Miners are in position to have one of the most successful assists while averaging 11.01 per game. years in school history. “She is definitely our most improved player,” Swanson said. “Her leadership and setting abilities The Miners joined Conference USA on July 1, 2005 along with former WAC brethren Rice, can take the team to the next level. It is her attitude that helps us to be successful.” SMU and Tulsa. With a new conference and new opponents, head coach Scott Swanson sees the 2005 season as not only a fresh start, but also a new beginning. Fighting for a starting spot at the middle blocker position will be junior veteran Ashley Ripple and prep All-American freshman Brooke Peugh. Redshirt freshman Keisha Hyman-Gifth also “It will be a great conference for UTEP,” said Swanson. “Our goal is to finish in the top five in looks to see time at the middle spot, as well as freshman Jessica Williams. Conference USA and win at least 18 matches this season. It’s a wide-open race as far as who will win the conference.” “Ashley has started the past two years, so she has experience,” said Swanson. “She is a low- error player who brings consistency to the court. Brooke came in during the spring, so she UTEP returns five starters, a libero and one additional letterwinner from the 2005 season, and has the mid-year experience of the spring season.

But with just three players hitting the six-foot mark, defense at the net is a concern for Swanson. Senior Heather Brisnahan, who played at the middle blocker position the past three years, will be making the move to opposite during the 2005 season. But she has competition from “There’s no doubt that size could be a problem,” said Swanson, “but we have depth and freshman Casey McAnelly. athleticism in all positions.” “Heather will move from middle blocker to opposite. She has improved and is ready to have a Leading the 2005 squad is team MVP Kari Stacy.

Sophomores Megan Maynard and Christie Murphy will also be vying for a starting spot at outside hitter. Returning to the lineup at libero is Brittany Stowers, who injured her knee six games into the 2004 season. The redshirt freshman averaged 6.79 digs per game with 129 and set UTEP “Kari improved tremendously and has become more of a complete player,” said Swanson. and NCAA dig records. Backing up Stowers on defense is specialist Jaymie Swift, who took “Megan sat out this spring after having shoulder surgery, but she is one of the faster and over as libero following Stowers’ injury. She recorded 20 or more digs four times and had stronger athletes on the team. Christie gained valuable experience in the fall and spring. She three games with 19 digs. Swift will also serve as a back-up setter. Sarah Renteria and Elsa improved her passing and is our toughest and most consistent server.” Reyes are walk-on freshmen who hope to compete for a defensive specialist spot opposite Swift.
“Brittany raises the level of performance of the team because of her ball control and defense,” Swanson said. “Jaymie had a great spring season. She is one of our leaders who brings experience and consistency to the court. Elsa and Sarah will compete for defensive positions as walk-ons.”
Swanson anticipates the team strengths will be depth and ball control on defense. “We should have no problem with ball control which will allow us to run a really good offense, especially with Brittany coming back,” he said.
The Miners open the season on Aug. 26, when they travel to Murfreesboro, Tenn. to participate in the Middle Tennessee Invitational, the first of four tournaments. They head to Fullerton, Calif. for a Sept. 2-3 event.
“Cal State will be our toughest competition during the preseason, since they are from a strong conference in the Big West,” said Swanson. “I hope to be at a level where we can compete with them.”
The Miners return home to host the first annual Sun Bowl Invitational Sept. 9-10.
“The Sun Bowl tournament will give us an opportunity to get some wins at home,” said Swanson. “New Mexico State will be our biggest challenge in the field.”
The Miners wrap up tournament play Sept. 16-17 at the Fiesta Bowl Tournament in Flagstaff, Ariz., where they will face Northern Arizona, Baylor and Gonzaga. They open C-USA play at Marshall on Sept. 23 before heading home to face Eastern Carolina on Sept. 25.
“It will be a difficult opener because it is a split weekend for us [home and away],” Swanson said. “We travel to Marshall, only to turn around and come home to play East Carolina two days later. That’s a tough start to the conference schedule.”
The Miners will also host Houston and Rice before traveling to I-10 rival New Mexico State. They return to El Paso to face Tulane, then play at Tulsa and SMU. UTEP plays UCF and Southern Miss at home, then enters the toughest portion of its schedule with road dates at Rice, Houston, Memphis and UAB. The Miners close out the regular season at home against SMU and Tulsa.
“Anytime you travel it is difficult,” said Swanson. “We have never won at SMU or Tulsa, so I hope to turn that around this year. By the time we travel to UCF and Southern Miss, we hope to be in a good position to beat those teams. Traveling to Houston and Rice will be the toughest weekend, but ideally we will be peaking by that time. Memphis and UAB will be a new travel experience. It will be good to end the year on our home court against Tulsa and SMU. We are hoping to be at least a fifth seed in the conference tournament.”
16 2005 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE COACHING STAFF Scott Swanson begins his fourth year at the helm of the UTEP volleyball program. Named head coach on Jan. 31, 2002, Swanson is the fifth coach to lead the Miners.
