EDINBURG – California Baptist University volleyball got big nights from its defense and Cali Hoye in its Western Athletic Conference series opener at The University of Rio Grande Valley on Monday.

Despite the Lancers' big performances, the Vaqueros still found a way to win in three sets (25-22, 25-17, 25-21) in the UTRGV Fieldhouse. It gives UTRGV its first win of the season, as it moves to 1-8, 1-6 in the WAC and CBU moves to 4-6, 3-6.
