Good Morning, UTSA Fam. UTSA men’s basketball’s Preston Turner buried a corner three with seven seconds left to seal a 70-68 home-opening win over VMI, capping a comeback from four down inside the final two minutes.
Demari Williams had the go-ahead triple just before that and found Turner on the dagger, part of a three-way tie atop the box score with 14 points each alongside KJ Tenner and Josiah LeGree. The Roadrunners trailed at halftime before outscoring the Keydets 39-33 after the break.

🔼 Clutch When It Counted. UTSA volleyball’s Sydney Bryant put down back-to-back kills to close out a 26-24 fourth set and give UTSA a 3-1 win over Wichita State yesterday afternoon. She went 7-for-11 with no errors in that set alone and finished with 13 kills on the night. Gigi Mason led the Roadrunners with 15, Isabella Arroyave had 11 and 10 digs, Valeria Ortiz dished 26 assists, and Alyssa Manitzas picked up 15 digs in a match with 29 tie scores and nine lead changes.
🔼 Earning Hardware. Leah Varela made the American’s first team after setting a UTSA single-season assists record with nine, a mark that has her 17th nationally and second in the conference. She also led the Roadrunners in points and minutes during the regular season while starting all 18 matches, with three goals on three penalty kicks, including game-winners over Temple and UIW. Brooklyn Bailey took third-team honors on the strength of a team-high 55 shots and her own program record.
🔼 Inches Away. UTSA’s season ended last night with a 1-0 quarterfinal loss to Rice, a goal in the eighth minute standing up despite everything the Roadrunners threw at it after the break. Olivia Christodoulides beat the keeper off the front post in the 51st only to have her header cleared off the line, and Brooklyn Bailey forced two saves in a two-minute stretch before a third shot was blocked. Jasmine Kessler tied her season high with seven saves in her final career game, finishing second on UTSA’s all-time list with 260. The Roadrunners close the year at 8-6-5.
