Last week UTRGV Women’s Basketball put up 98 points in a victory over Texas Lutheran University. UTRGV now improves to a record of 2-1 in the early 2019 – 2020 basketball season. After the win head coach Lane Lord was content with his teams performance.
“We played with a lot of effort tonight, its one thing we have really been focusing on is effort and getting the ball inside so those 3 pointers would start going in.”
The next game for the Vaquero’s will be against the 22nd ranked Longhorns of Texas. Coach Lord still wants to improve the little things for the match up against UT.
“Well we got 8 days to get ready for the Longhorns so we got a lot of improving to do but hopefully we will continue to do a better job taking care of the basketball we still had 16 turnovers way to many but all in all we are getting better each game.”
After the game junior guard Amara Graham is already excitedly looking forward to facing Texas at Austin.
“I mean it is exciting, last year they came here and that was the biggest game of our season, you know crowd wise, and it was actually a really good game. So I think we can just use last year and how fired up that game was and use that as momentum going into the game I mean we got to go up there but we still need to come out with the same intensity and bring it.”
UTRGV will play against the University of Texas at Austin this Wednesday November 20th , at the Frank C. Erwin Jr. Special Events Center at 11 a.m. For more updates and highlights visit goutrgv.com.
