Still Undefeated! UTPA Wins at Prairie View
PRAIRIE VIEW – Freshman Andreya Barrera scored two goals to help the University of Texas-Pan American Broncs women’s soccer team remain undefeated through the first six matches in program history with a 3-1 win against the Prairie View A&M Panthers on Friday at Lady Panthers Field.
