The UTRGV Vaqueros men's tennis team aims to secure a second consecutive Southland Conference (SLC) tournament appearance by winning home matches against New Orleans and Nicholls this weekend. After tightly contested losses to Lamar and Incarnate Word, UTRGV holds a 1-2 conference record and stands fourth in the standings. A sweep this weekend would clinch their spot in the SLC Men's Tennis Tournament.

By the Numbers
  • UTRGV's current conference record: 1-2
  • Nicholls enters on a nine-match losing streak, holding a 0-2 conference record
State of Play
  • UTRGV faces UNO on April 4, followed by Nicholls on April 6
  • UNO and Nicholls are both yet to win a conference match this season
What's Next

A successful weekend would not only solidify UTRGV's place in the SLC tournament but also provide a confidence boost heading into postseason play. Strong performances from key players like Ivo Isqueiro and Will Roberts will be crucial.

Bottom Line

The Vaqueros must sweep their final weekend matches to secure a playoff spot, capitalizing on their home advantage to turn recent close losses into decisive wins.
