Going into the season, the volleyball team (3-12; 1-5) had their eyes set on making it to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and beating in-state rival Texas State University.
The Mavericks had a chance to improve their record and accomplish their goal of defeating the Bobcats this week but failed to do either. UTA was unable to win a set in either of the two matches against Texas State.
Texas State 3, UTA 0
UTA controlled the match in the early stages, taking a 7-3 lead over the Bobcats that eventually escalated into a 23-21 lead later in the first set.
