In a news release today, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced<\/strong><\/a> its baseball season-opening series against Lamar University has been canceled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the news release, a Tier I member of the Lamar baseball program tested positive for COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Tier I member, according<\/a> <\/strong>to the NCAA, consists of student-athletes, coaches, athletic trainers and physical therapists, medical staff, equipment staff and officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams were scheduled to play a three-game series that included a Saturday doubleheader after the previously scheduled season-opening bout on Friday was modified due to the threat of bad weather and to converse energy according<\/a> <\/strong>to the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last game the Vaqueros played took part in was on March 11, 2020, when they beat Texas A&M Corpus Christi 4-1<\/strong><\/a> at home in the South Texas Showdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 346-day return to the diamond will have now increase to 348 days for the Vaqueros as their next scheduled game is at 4 p.m. Monday on the road versus the Baylor Bears in Waco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team will not return to the UTRGV Baseball Stadium until 1 p.m. March 5 as they host a three-game series against Northern Illinois University in the Al Ogletree Classic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vaqueros come into the 2021 season as defending Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Champions after finishing with an 11-7 record and winning eight out of their last 10 games in the 2020 campaign that was cut short due to COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the WAC preseason coaches\u2019 poll<\/a>,<\/strong> UTRGV alongside Grand Canyon University and Sacramento State were selected to finish first with a total of 73 points with the Vaqueros receiving four out of 10 first-place votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Vaqueros also cracked the 2021 preseason all-conference team that included graduate catcher Conrado Diaz, shortstop Christian Sepulveda and first baseman Joseph Impeduglia at the utility\/DH position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
