The UTRGV Vaqueros Men’s Soccer Club will play in a preseason game against the Texas A&M University-San Antonio Soccer Club at 1 p.m. Saturday at the UREC soccer field on the Edinburg campus.
In an interview with The Rider, Alejandro Garcia, president of the club and a graduate student, said he is looking forward to the upcoming match.
“I think it’s going to be a great game because the team is barely getting to know each other,” Garcia said. “It’s going to help us to see the chemistry the team has going on. I’m excited.”
His expectations of the team include having fun, playing well and enjoying the game.
Garcia said admission to the game is free.
Asked about the possible starters for the game, Head Coach Hugo Zuñiga replied, “Basically, everyone is new because it’s a preseason [game]. It’s going to vary and depend on how every player performs in practice.”
The season will start on Aug. 17.
