BEAUMONT – Junior Andreya Barrera scored her first goal of the season to lead the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley women’s soccer team past Lamar 1-0 on Friday at the LU Soccer Complex.

 

Barrera’s goal came from the right side at 18:16 off a pass from junior Hanna Spets, who picked up her second assist of the season.

 

In her collegiate debut, freshman Kinga Szemik (1-0-0) made three saves for the shutout.
