PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros men's tennis team is chasing its third consecutive victory Monday in a rematch with the Prairie View A&M (PVAMU) Panthers.
The Vaqueros (4-13, 0-0 Southland Conference) defeated the Panthers (1-16, 1-2 SWAC) in a 6-1 match when these teams faced off in Edinburg in February. UTRGV is 22-1 all-time against the Panthers and captured a 7-0 sweep when these teams played in Prairie View last season.
UTRGV heads into this match with momentum after winning back-to-back matches. The Vaqueros played a gritty match against UT Permian Basin and earned a 5-2 win at home. A victory Monday would send the Vaqueros into their first SLC contest on a three-match winning streak.
The Panthers picked up their first win of the season Saturday at home in a 4-2 match against Southern.
