SAN MARCOS – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros women's tennis fell 0-7 to the Texas State Bobcats on Sunday at the Bobcats Tennis Complex.
 
UTRGV (0-4) recorded a win in doubles as the team of redshirt sophomores Sandra Putz and Katarina Sasaroga defeated Chacadyah Israel-Lewis and Nikita Pradeep 6-3 at the No. 3 spot but Texas State (1-2) won the other two doubles matches to take the 1-0 lead. 
 
In singles, the Bobcats took all six courts to clinch the win. 
 
Freshman Isabelle Bahr took her match against Hana Kvapilova to three sets at the No. 1 spot. Bahr opened her match with a 6-2 win in the first set before dropping a tight second set 6-7. Kvapilova took all the momentum in the tiebreaker as Bahr fell 2-10.
 
UTRGV returns to action on Feb. 9 when it hosts Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, as part of the South Texas Showdown, presented by Navy Army Community Credit Union, at 3 p.m. following the men's match at the Orville Cox Tennis Center.
 
Seating at UTRGV home tennis matches is limited to 25 fans. Limiting the capacity allows for proper social distancing among fans, staff, and student-athletes. 
 
Face masks are required to be worn properly by all fans, media and staff present inside the Orville Cox Tennis Center. The CDC defines wearing a mask correctly as covering the nose and mouth and securing it around the chin, trying to fit in snugly against the side of the face. The CDC does not recommend using masks with an exhalation valve or vent. Neck gaiters, bandanas and similar items are not acceptable alternatives to face masks. Children ages 2 and under are not required to wear masks.
 
Restrooms at the Orville Cox Tennis Center will be closed to the public to limit access into the Tier 1 section.
