EL PASO, Texas – Lauren Crenshaw (60’) and Natalie Valentine (67’) got on the score sheet but the UTEP soccer team ultimately fell to The University of Texas Rio Grande, 3-2, Sunday afternoon at University Field.
UTRGV (2-2-0) received three second-half goals from Sarah Bonney (54’, 80’) and Emily Zapata (77’) to slip past the Miners (2-2-0).
“We didn’t have our shape on defense when UTRGV would go on the break,” UTEP head coach Kevin Cross said. “We made mistakes that we can fix for our next game on Friday.”
The first half proved to be the calm before the storm with both teams struggling to find their groove under the scorching sun.
