The Panthers ended the season with a 4–2 conference record, marked by exciting victories and close contests in SWAC play.

They secured solid 4–1 wins over Mississippi Valley State (Mar 9) and Southern University (Mar 15), showing their competitiveness in the conference .

Although overall results included tough non-conference losses—from the season-opening 0–7 sweep at Pacific to a 0–7 defeat at UT Arlington—the team gained vital match experience.

Top Performers:

  • Abdulraheem Isa (So., London, UK):

    • Claimed the No. 2 singles win in a narrow 4–5 loss to UT Arlington earlier this season, showcasing grit and talent.

  • Xavier Peter-Gooding (Jr., Barbados):

    • Earned a doubles win in the same UT Arlington match, and often featured prominently in both singles and doubles lineups.

    • Recognized by the SWAC with weekly honors twice during the season.

  • Ryan Boone (So., Midlothian, TX):

    • Contributed a win by forfeit in singles that helped secure momentum in crucial SWAC matches, adding depth and stability to the lineup.

  • Paolo Bonaguro & Will Roberts (UTRGV pairing):

    • Though opponents in a non-conference 2–5 loss to UTRGV, they delivered strong performances that pushed Prairie View to compete hard in doubles 


Conference Momentum:
The Panthers' 4–2 SWAC match record included sweeps of Mississippi Valley State and Southern, underlining their growing prowess in league play. Three players—Isa, Peter-Gooding, and Boone—were pivotal in securing these wins.

Overall, while non-conference matches offered steep lessons, Abdulraheem Isa, Xavier Peter-Gooding, and Ryan Boone emerged as key contributors during the season.
