Not that the other nine losses in C­ USA were any better than Sunday's against UTEP, but this loss put the Knights in sole possession of last place. They are the only team in C-USA that is winless in conference play this season. The Knights were defeated by UTEP 3-1-30-26, 28-30, 30- 21 and 30-26 - in a match that featured the two worst teams in C-USA With the loss, UCF dropped to 0-10 in conference, 0 and the Miners Through 10 C-USA improved to 2-9. matches, UCF has "That loss was zero wins.
