and Allen/Keller rebound from a first-set loss to win in three on the top court!
Whatever is the opposite of a "sophomore slump", that's exactly what Jess Vastine had in 2019! She increased her win total from 5 to 19, the biggest year-to-year improvement in program history!
Congratulations to incoming graduate transfer Madison Brabham, who was voted as her school's top female athlete by the coaches at Texas A&M-Kingsville!
Can't wait to see her in the Garnet and Black this coming year!
