SAN ANTONIO, Texas (October 19, 2026) – The University of Texas Permian Basin women's tennis team competed at the Brother Al Invitational hosted by St. Mary's University on Friday and Saturday. The Falcons faced opponents from Our Lady of the Lake as well as Lone Star Conference foes St. Mary's and Western New Mexico.

The St. Mary's University Rattlers hosted the rescheduled Brother Al Invitational on Friday and Saturday at the Rohrbach Tennis Stadium. It was postponed to October 16-17 due to rain in late September.

The annual Brother Al Invitational was set up as a flighted round robin tournament.

In singles, Fanny Bergstrom (Flight 1), Dinethya Dharmaratne (Flight 2), Mattea Bowe (Flight 4), and Paige Sitanggang (Flight 5) all went 2-1 in their respective flight.

In doubles, the pairings of Dharmaratne/Sitanggang (Flight 2) and Bowe/Alyssa Glasgow (Flight 3) each went 2-1 in their respective flight.

UTPB Head Coach Chris Tolson said, "It was a great weekend for both our men's and women's teams. The ladies competed hard and have improved from our first event at Hardin-Simmons. Mattea, Paige and Dinethya had fantastic weekends going 2-1 in both their singles and doubles flights."

Next up for the Falcons will be the ITA South Central Regional Thursday, October 22, through Sunday, October 25, at the Summers Tennis Center in Tyler, Texas.
