The Lady Broncs defeated Prairie View A&M Saturday, 30-24, 30-19, 24-30 and 30-20, for their seventh consecutive victory.

"Prairie View is a very good defensive team with some good athletes," said UTPA Head Coach Dave Thorn. "We started off strong, had a little bit of a letdown in the third game, and came out fired up in the fourth. We got contributions from a lot of people, and it was great to see that." The Lady Broncs improved to 11-12 with the victory. Prairie View A&M fell to 9-15. UT Pan American will return home to play Southwest Texas State Tuesday night.
