The second set was tight early, with UTRGV taking a 9-8 lead on an attack error. UVU responded by scoring the next five points, however, to take the lead. UTRGV got as close as two twice, at 15-17 on a kill by senior Antonela Jularic and 16-18 on an error before UVU outscored UTRGV 7-4 the rest of the way. UVU scored the first six points of the third set and maintained a similar lead until it was 18-13. That’s when a kill by junior Talita Oliveira sparked a 7-1 run to give UTRGV a 20-19 lead.

Previous Matches Crown Them! UTRGV Stands Alone at the Top as WAC Champions Nov. 17, 2018 at UTRGV Fieldhouse – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) volleyball team won the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championship outright by beating Kansas City 3-1 (25-8, 24-26, 25-16, 25-19). UTRGV (22-8, 13-3 WAC) will enter the WAC Tournament as the No. 1 seed for the first time in program history. This is the first regular season WAC Championship in program history and the second regular season title for a team sport in department history after women’s tennis won the WAC Championship this past spring. With the win, UTRGV breaks the NCAA Division I program record wins in a season, now with 22. The previous record was 21, set in 2016, the year UTRGV won the WAC Tournament Championship and reached its first NCAA Tournament. UTRGV finishes WAC play with an NCAA Division I program record 13 conference wins while tying the records for conference home wins (seven) and total home wins (11). Additionally, UTRGV drew 788 fans to extend the single-season program attendance record to 9,786. UTRGV averaged a program record 753 fans per match, breaking the program record of 750 set last season. The eight points allowed to Kansas City (20-10, 11-5 WAC) in the first set tie for the fewest allowed to an opponent this season. In her final regular season home match, senior Ragni Steen Knudsen recorded 13 kills on .480 hitting with eight digs, a season-high three aces and two blocks. Knudsen now has 402 kills this season, making her the first player in program history with three 400+ kill seasons after recording a record 471 kills in 2016 and another 421 kills in 2017. Junior Barbara Silva led UTRGV with 19 kills on .424 hitting. Tyrecia Lukes led Kansas City with 11 kills on .400 hitting and three blocks. UTRGV hit .552 in the first set. After going down 1-2, senior Antonela Jularic recorded a kill and two aces to help UTRGV score five in a row. That was the start of a 22-3 run during which Kansas City never scored twice in a row that saw UTRGV take a 23-5 lead. UTRGV scored the final 11 points of that run, six of which came on Silva kills. After UTRGV dropped the second set, the third set was tight early, as Kansas City was within 4-5. That’s when back-to-back Knudsen kills sparked an 11-2 run to give UTRGV a 16-6 lead. Kansas City got as close as 13-19, but UTRGV scored five of the next six points, including kills by Jularic and Kundsen, to push the set out of reach. Kansas City led for much of the fourth set, going up by a much as five at 17-12. UTRGV responded by scoring the next 10 points, including a kill and two aces by Knudsen as part of a 12-1 run, to reach championship point. One serve later, a kill by junior Talita Oliveira ended the match. 11/17/18 1 2 3 4 5 F Kills Leader Assists Leader Digs Leader Blocks Leader Hit% (K-E-TA) BS-BA-BE Aces Pts Kansas City 8 26 16 19 -- 1 Lukes-11 Schomers-20 Spiegel-10 Dyer-5 .156 (41-21-128) 4-8-6 5 54.0 UTRGV 25 24 25 25 -- 3 Silva-19 Vukoja-25 Zayas-14 Ecker-4 .364 (63-16-129) 0-11-0 7 75.5

UTRGV Clinches Share of WAC Title and Top-Two Finish with Win Over Chicago State Nov. 15, 2018 at UTRGV Fieldhouse – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) volleyball team clinched at least a share of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championship, a top-two finish and a first round bye in the WAC Tournament by beating Chicago State University (CSU) 3-1 (25-19, 15-25, 25-22, 25-18). Combined with New Mexico State’s (11-4 WAC) 3-2 win over Kansas City (11-4 WAC), UTRGV (21-8, 12-3 WAC) is now assured of finishing at least tied for first place. UTRGV closes out the regular season against Kansas City. If UTRGV wins, UTRGV will be the outright WAC Champion and number one seed in the WAC Tournament for the first time in program history. UTRGV is in the midst of the second 21-win season in NCAA Division I program history after also winning 21 matches in 2016, the year UTRGV won the WAC Tournament Championship and reached its first NCAA Tournament. Additionally, UTRGV drew 622 fans to break the single-season program record, now at 8,998 with one match remaining. UTRGV drew a then program record 8,861 fans last season. Senior Ragni Steen Knudsen led UTRGV with 14 kills, 14 digs and four blocks for her 12th double-double. Junior Barbara Silva finished with 11 kills, nine digs and three blocks. Senior Dubravka Vukoja posted her seventh double-double with 27 assists and 11 digs. Senior Alexandra Ecker recorded a match-high six blocks with six kills and six digs. Lauryn Dela Cruz led CSU (9-23, 3-12 WAC) with 10 kills, 18 digs and five blocks. Alexandria Cliff finished with 10 kills on .381 hitting. The first set was tight early, with the first multi-point lead coming when UTRGV went up 8-6 on an error. Then, with the score tied at 9, a block by Knudsen and Ecker sparked an 8-3 run to put UTRGV up 17-12. CSU won the next two serves to pull within three before UTRGV went on a 7-2 run to reach set point. After three-straight points by CSU, a Knudsen kill ended the set. After dropping the second set, UTRGV scored the first two points of the third set. UTRGV extended its lead to three for the first time at 10-7 on a block by Knudsen and Ecker. UTRGV went up by four at 15-11 on an error and five at 19-14 on another error. CSU came back to tie the set at 21. A pair of Silva kills helped UTRGV go up 23-22. Two serves later, on set point, another Silva kill ended the set. CSU scored the first four points of the fourth set before a Silva kill sparked a 7-2 run to give UTRGV the lead. UTRGV pushed its lead to 11-7 on an error and 17-12 on a Knudsen kill. CSU got as close as 15-18 before a Knudsen kill helped UTRGV score three-straight points to push the set out of reach. 11/15/18 1 2 3 4 5 F Kills Leader Assists Leader Digs Leader Blocks Leader Hit% (K-E-TA) BS-BA-BE Aces Pts Chicago State 19 25 23 18 -- 1 Cliff-10 Adams-26 Palmieri-21 Dela Cruz- .102 (47-29-176) 1-14-0 4 59.0 Dela Cruz-10 Farris-5 UTRGV 25 15 25 25 -- 3 Knudsen-14 Vukoja-27 Zayas-19 Ecker-6 .171 (49-20-170) 0-18-0 4 62.0
