EDINBURG, Texas – The Aggies went to work for the second time in three days as they battled with WAC foe UTRGV in South Texas. After opening conference play with back-to-back wins last week, NM State dropped its second straight match as the Vaqueros defeated the Aggies 6-1.
 
DOUBLES

• Despite a victory at the No. 2 position from the tandem of Bella Nguyen and Miranda Bishard, NM State dropped its matches at No. 1 and No. 3 to give the Vaqueros the doubles point. Nguyen and Bishard's 6-4 win over UTRGV's Isabelle Bahr and Marjorie Souza marked their eighth win on the season.

 
SINGLES

• Miranda Bishard also carried her success over to singles play as she knocked of the Vaqueros' Kristyna Mamicova at the No. 5 spot. Bishard's commanding 6-2, 6-0 win evened the score at one to put both sides three singles wins from taking the match.
• Unfortunately for the Crimson and White, Bishard would be the lone Aggie to win a singles match. Anna Pinaieva and Bella Nguyen did push their respective opponents into a third set, however, they were unable to close out their matches.
