EDINBURG – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) women's soccer team scored three unanswered goals to rally past Utah Valley University (UVU) 3-1 on Sunday at the UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Complex for its first Western Athletic Conference victory of the season.
 
After a UVU (2-10-1, 1-1 WAC) goal midway through the first half, UTRGV (7-5-1, 1-1 WAC) got on the board with under a minute left in the half. A free kick by junior Katherine Stokely was saved by UVU goalie Brooklyn Nielsen but junior Lea Kalmbach took the rebound and tied the match with her first goal of the season.
 
UTRGV kept the pressure on UVU with nine of its 20 shots coming in the second half. After a penalty on UVU, freshman Emily Zapata took a free kick at 64:13 and scored her seventh goal of the season. Zapata's goal ended up being the game-winner, her fourth of the season.
 
UTRGV put the match away with its third goal as junior Sarah Bonney converted on a penalty kick at 76:39 for her sixth goal of the season.

Junior Kinga Szemik (6-5-1) recorded three saves in the match.
 
UTRGV outshot UVU 20-15 and 9-4 on goal.
 
UTRGV will hit the road to continue WAC play as it faces Grand Canyon on October 5 at 9 p.m.
