SEATTLE – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros volleyball team fell to the Seattle U Redhawks 0-3 (18-25, 21-25, 20-25) on Monday at the Redhawk Center.

The Vaqueros led early in the first set, going up 2-1 on a block by Nama and junior Sarah Cruz and 8-6 on a Jandova ace. The Redhawks responded with a 10-2 run to go up 16-10. The Vaqueros pulled to within four twice, including 15-19 on a Nama kill, but that's as close as they got.
 
The Vaqueros jumped out to leads of 2-1 on a Bulgur kill and 7-4 on a Da Silva kill in set two. The Redhawks won seven of the next eight serves to go up 11-8 before the Vaqueros scored three in a row, capped by a Jandova ace, to tie the set. The Redhawks regained the lead, going up 17-15 before Jandova bookended a 4-0 run to put the Vaqueros up 19-17. The Redhawks, however, won eight of the final 10 serves to win the set.
 
The third set was close early, as the Vaqueros were within 5-6 on an error and 8-11 on a Nama kill. The Redhawks won six of the next seven serves to go up 21-11. The Vaqueros had one more run in them, scoring five-straight points, four of which came from Bulgur kills, to pull to within 16-21, but that's as close as they got.
