EDINBURG, Texas – Sophomore Savannah Bijlsma got a straight-sets victory over Valentina Urraco Saturday afternoon but Lamar University was unable to come up with any other wins as the Cardinals dropped a 6-1 decision at UT Rio Grande Valley Saturday afternoon.
 
Unfortunately for the Cardinals, Bijlsma's victory came after UTRGV had already secured four points for the overall team win. The Vaqueros took wins on courts 1 and 2 doubles for the early 1-0 lead which forced a stoppage on the third court where the duo of Bijlsma and Martina Alcaino had a two-game lead over UTRGV through eight played.
 
The Vaqueros locked up the overall team win with victories on courts 2, 5 and 1 before Big Red got on the scoreboard.
 
Big Red returns to action Monday when they travel to Corpus Christi, Texas to take on the Islanders. The match against the Islanders is set for an 11 a.m. start.
