This resolution congratulates the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) women's volleyball team on their remarkable 2024 season and their historic first-ever NCAA Division I tournament appearance. The Miners achieved significant milestones during the season, including a 13-game winning streak, 20 consecutive home victories, and becoming the first Division I team to reach 20 wins. Although they were ultimately defeated by the University of Oklahoma in the first round of the tournament, they finished with an impressive 27-6 record. The resolution highlights individual player achievements, such as Kaya Weaver being named Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year, and acknowledges the contributions of head coach Ben Wallis and his coaching staff. The Texas House of Representatives formally recognizes the team's exemplary skill, determination, and teamwork, expressing pride in their accomplishments and extending best wishes for their future. As part of the resolution, an official copy will be prepared for the team as a gesture of high regard from the Texas House of Representatives.
