EDINBURG, Texas – A rematch of the 2017 Western Athletic Conference Tournament final fared much better for the home team on Thursday night as CSU Bakersfield fell 3-0 (23-25, 20-25, 20-25) to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley on the road.

UTRGV jumped out to a 7-2 lead on its home court in the first set. The Vaqueros continued to surge and held an 18-11 lead before CSUB went on a 10-2 run. The game remained close, but UTRGV won the final two points to take a 25-23 victory. Senior Mattison DeGarmo led all `Runners with six kills in the opening game.

The second set was nearly identical to the first with UTRGV jumping out early and gaining a big lead. CSUB used a 10-3 run to draw within two points at 22-20, but the Vaqueros held off the comeback to go ahead 2-0 with a 25-20 win.

Finding themselves in a bit of a habit, the `Runners trailed early in Set 3 and used a mid-set push to draw as close as three points at 19-16. UTRGV once again finished strong and closed the three-set victory with another 25-20 win.

On the match, DeGarmo led all `Runners with 11 kills on an efficient clip of .435. Fellow senior Briannah Mariner chipped in 10 kills and four digs. Mariner's cousin, freshman Leisa Elisaia, had a team-high 17 assists to go with 11 digs for a double-double.

The `Runners (11-10, 4-4 WAC) are now headed to Las Cruces, N.M. for a Saturday afternoon matchup with NM State. CSUB will face the Aggies at 12 p.m. (MT). The match will not be live streamed, but a link to live stats can be found on the CSUB volleyball schedule page and live updates will come through @CSUB_Volleyball on Twitter.
