The UTRGV women's soccer team continued its upward trajectory, posting a 1-0 victory over Texas A&M International University that marked the third straight win and extended the program's longest unbeaten stretch since 2024.
Key moments
In the 41st minute, sophomore forward Amy Romero rose to meet a cross and headed the ball into the net, delivering the only goal of the match and marking her first score as a Vaquero.
The assist came from sophomore midfielder Sienna Church, whose precise free‑kick cross set up Romero's strike and earned her first career assist at the collegiate level.
Between the posts, goalkeepers Mariana Amezcua and Veronica Pacione turned away multiple attempts, preserving the clean sheet while the outfield dominated possession, out‑shooting TAMIU 11‑5 with a 2‑0 edge in shots on goal.
Defensive discipline was evident as the Vaqueros limited the Dustdevils to just five shots on goal, a performance that contributed to their third consecutive shutout under head coach Nataki Stewart, who is in his inaugural season at UTRGV.
Next test for the Vaqueros
The team is slated to host the Sam Houston Bearkats on Thursday at Pritchett Field, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. The upcoming match offers a chance to further solidify the momentum built during this three‑game winning streak.
