RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros men's soccer team opened its spring season with a 3-0 loss to the Houston Dynamo in an exhibition match on Wednesday at H-E-B Park.
 
The Dynamo scored two goals in the first half and added another in the second half. 
 
It wasn't the result that UTRGV head coach Paul Leese wanted but it's a great learning experience for the Vaqueros that can help build for the fall season.
 
"The learning curve is massive for us to play a game of this quality,"  Leese said. "You saw it right away. As soon as the game kicked off, the intensity and the speed of the game is something that we are not able to create in the college game. So, for our boys to keep up with that pace and learn from it and adjust, that is what we are going to get from it."
 
UTRGV will go over the game film and go will be able to spend some time on the weaknesses on film.
 
The Vaqueros will be back in action on February 12 when it faces the RGV FC Toros at H-E-B Park at 8:30 p.m.
