RIO GRANDE VALLEY – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros men's tennis team was defeated 4-3 by the Lamar Cardinals on Saturday to complete a weather-suspended non-conference match at the Orville Cox Tennis Center. 
 
The match was tied 3-3 after UTRGV (3-4) picked up singles wins in the second, third and sixth flights courtesy of sophomores Karlo Krolo and Borna Devald and senior Chris Lawrance, respectively, on Friday after a late start. Lamar's Max Amling, Brandon Do and Maximilian Milic won on the first, fourth and fifth flights. 
 
Lamar clinched the victory with doubles wins in the second (6-2) and third (6-3) flights. UTRGV's No. 1 duo of sophomore Sam Whitehead and junior Emilien Burnel battled in a tight match, but the Cardinals duo of Amling/Filippo Salsini took the 7-6 (6) win.  
 
The Vaqueros will be back in action Feb. 3-4 at the Louisiana Winter Classic in Lafayette.
