UTSA continues winning ways with 6-1 victory against Texas-Pan American

SAN ANTONIO — UTSA won its second consecutive match on Saturday by downing Texas-Pan American by a score of 6-1.

The Roadrunners (8-6) jumped out to an early lead by capturing the doubles point.

Miriam Rosell Canudas blanked Esparza at the top spot for her fifth consecutive victory and Jacobea Junger followed with a 6-2, 6-0 trimuph against Katia Stavroulaki at the No. 2 position.

Irene Gandara Gonzalez then clinched the match for the Roadrunners with her 6-3, 6-3 win against Natacha Minc on the sixth court and that was her team-leading 10th victory of the spring.
