UTA volleyball defeats Texas State for the first time since 2014

The volleyball team (10-6, 10-6) won the second match of a two-match series against in-state rival Texas State University on Saturday afternoon to end the 2020 regular season.

Saturday’s win over Texas State helped the Mavericks snap a 17-match winning streak the Bobcats owned coming into the matchup. It was UTA’s first win over Texas State since 2014.

Freshman outside hitter Briana Brown led the Mavericks with nine kills in a 25-23 first set victory. UTA used a late 5-0 scoring run to gain momentum and close out the set.

UTA carried the momentum into the second set, opening with a 3-0 scoring run and eventually leading 13-8.
