🤙🏼 The Official Newsletter For UTSA Athletics, brought to you by Cowboy’s AC & Heating

Good morning, Roadrunners Fam. On Saturday, the UTSA women's basketball team made history as they picked up a 60-53 American Athletic Conference road victory over Tulsa. The 'Runners collected their 12th win of the season, and a 12-2 record reflects the program's best-ever through 14 games. It was also the 50th win during Head Coach Karen Aston's tenure.

Read more about the ‘Runners besting the Golden Hurricane, including their dominant defensive performance and redshirt senior Jordyn Jenkins scoring half UTSA’s points.

🔼 Keepin’ It in the Family. Family has always been the most important thing in Idara Udo’s life.

Udo is a first-generation American as her parents, Ituru Inim and Efrung Udo, immigrated from Nigeria in their late 20s. She takes great pride in both her Nigerian heritage and in the opportunities afforded to her.

“The chance to represent my parents and represent the sacrifices they made for me is something that I’ll forever hold close to my heart,” Udo said.

Read the feature on Udo for how she landed on Coach Aston’s radar, stepping in for Jordyn Jenkins, and her sister, Sema, joining her on the court for UTSA next season.

🔼 Incoming (Golden) Hurricane. The UTSA men’s basketball team plays host to its American Athletic Conference home opener on Tuesday, welcoming Tulsa to the Convocation Center at 7:00 PM CST. Fans in attendance will receive a complimentary Coach Austin Claunch Bobblehead, while supplies last.

🎟 Tickets are just $10! 🏀

🔼 Challenge Accepted. Opening the first year for the UTSA men’s tennis team under the guidance of Sasha Gozun, the Roadrunners are preparing for a 17-match schedule with a mid-season tournament.

The Roadrunners open with a big one, heading to College Station to take on Texas A&M on January 19. The Aggies finished 16th in the final Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll last season after a 20-11 season ended in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
