🔼 Trend-Setters. The NCAA has released its annual Division I Graduation Success Rate (GSR) data. UTSA reported a department-record GSR of 90 percent, marking the 10th consecutive year the department has posted a GSR of 80 percent or better. Three teams registered a perfect rate—men’s golf, women’s tennis, and volleyball all posted a 100 percent GSR.

🗣 "They continue to set impressive standards for academic achievement and graduation. For a decade now, we've seen a positive trend of being above 80 percent in graduation success rate.” - Lisa Campos, UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics

🔼 Mama Mia! The American Athletic Conference released its 2024 All-Conference teams on Thursday, with redshirt junior Mia Soerensen representing UTSA volleyball on the second team.

This marks back-to-back years that Soerensen cracked the second team after posting a squad-high 299 kills at a .242 clip and boasted a team-high 109 blocks. A Preseason All-Conference selection, she was twice named an honorable mention in The American’s weekly awards.

🔼 D-E-F-E-N-S-E. The UTSA women’s basketball team took down Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 62-43 in non-conference action on Wednesday in the Convocation Center.

The Roadrunners (4-1, 0-0 The American) overcame the Islanders (3-2, 0-0 Southland) after securing 25 more rebounds, including 22 on the offensive end. UTSA’s defense was phenomenal as they outscored TAMUCC 31-12 across the final 20 minutes and held the opposition to one field goal in both the first and third quarters.  

🔼 Full “STEM” Ahead. UTSA tight end Patrick Overmyer has been named a Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete as part of the bowl game’s fourth annual STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, recognizing some of the brightest minds competing on the gridiron in the ACC and the American Athletic Conference.

A native of Kingwood, Texas, Overmyer boasts a 3.91 GPA and aspires to become a mechanical engineer working with power-producing machines for a Fortune 500 company.
