Women's Soccer Wins Showdown in Front of Electric Crowd

RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) women's soccer team beat the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders 2-0 as part of the South Texas Showdown, presented by Navy Army Community Credit Union, on Friday at the UTRGV Soccer and Track & Field Complex in front of an electric crowd of 818.
 
The Vaqueros (1-1-0) now lead the Islanders (1-1-0) 3-0 in the showdown standings.
 
The Vaqueros jumped on the board right away when junior Anna Barkey took a feed from sophomore Anna Torslov and buried in the fourth minute. It was Barkey's first goal of the season and the third of her career. It was Torslov's fifth-career assist.
 
Then, in the 85th minute, junior Shentatious Knox sent a bender past the outstretched arms of a diving Kennedy Stelling (0-1-0) to make the score 2-0. It was Knox's second goal of the season and the fifth of her career.
 
Graduate student Maile Lunardi (1-1-0) made the goal stand up, making six saves for her eighth-career shutout.
 
The Vaqueros outshot the Islanders 14-11, but were outshot 7-6 on goal.
 
UTRGV is back in action on Sunday at 1 p.m. at No. 6 TCU in a game that can be seen on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.
 
The next event of the South Texas Showdown, presented by Navy Army Community Credit Union, is on Sept. 5 when women's soccer visits Corpus Christi at 7 p.m.
