The two-time defending Independent champions are back, with 11 exciting home dates during the 2002 season. Make plans to be at each home match as the Lady Broncs make the UTPA Fieldhouse South Texas' volleyball headquarters this fall. Special promotions are planned throughout the season. Fifth-year Head Coach Dave Thorn has led his team to back-to-back excellent seasons. Last year, Texas-Pan American won its last nine matches in succession, 12 of its final 14, and 14 of its final 17 en route to a 15-17 record. With a good core group of returning players and several talented recruits, things should improve this season. The Lady Broncs went 8-4 at home last year, and have a good schedule again this season. Texas Christian of the Western Athletic Conference, Southwest Texas State of the Southland and Sun Belt rival New Mexico State will visit the UTPA Fieldhouse this year. NMSU's visit October 11th will be Senior Night, and the Lady Broncs will honor their graduating seniors that evening. In-state rival Texas A&M-International and Southwest Athletic Conference rival Prairie View A&M will be the opponents October 18th and 19th, respectively. That will be Parents' Night, with UTPA's student-athletes and their parents being introduced. SWAC opponent Texas Southern comes to the UTPA Fieldhouse for the opener September 10th, while fellow independents Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Centenary also will visit. In-state rivals Texas A&M-Kingsville and Texas-Permian Basin fill out the remainder of the home schedule, which also includes the annual alumni match October 11th that precedes Midnight Madness. Be on hand this season for exciting Lady Bronc volleyball!
