🔼 No Bad Seeds. The 2024-25 American Athletic Conference regular-season champion UTSA women’s basketball team is set to enter the American Women’s Basketball Championships in the quarterfinals against Rice at noon today after earning a double-bye and the No. 1 seed via a 17-1 league record. 

The Roadrunners (26-3, 17-1 The American) wrapped up the campaign with a program record 26 overall wins, and 17 conference wins tied the 2002-03 squad, who went 17-3.

🔼 High Octane Hoops FTW. The UTSA men’s basketball team (12-18, 6-12 AAC) earned a crucial regular season-ending win in the Queen City on Sunday. However, the 83-80 victory over Charlotte (10-21, 3-15 AAC) didn’t come without significant tension and an all-out fight with the 49ers all the way to the closing seconds. Claiming victory in the finale, UTSA earns the most wins since the 2020-21 season and sets themselves up with the No. 11 seed in next week’s championships.

The Roadrunners received the No. 11 seed in the AAC Basketball Championships and are slated to face No. 6 East Carolina in the second round with an 8:00 PM CST tipoff on Thursday, March 13.

🔼 Four Score And Not Long Ago... The American Athletic Conference released its 2024-25 awards on Friday, with redshirt senior Jordyn Jenkins earning Player of the Year, while Karen Aston was chosen unanimously as Coach of the Year and graduate student Nina De Leon Negron picked up Newcomer of the Year honors. Additionally, sophomore Idara Udo was selected for the all-conference second team.

🔼 Don’t Hayt the Player. Kaelen Dulany carded a 1-under-par 71 to highlight UTSA’s second-round action at The Hayt on Sunday at Sawgrass Country Club (par 72/7,092 yards).

Dulany wrote down three birdies during his Sunday round to pace the Roadrunners, who registered a 1-over 289 that also counted a pair of even-par scorecards from Logan Vargas and Jack Wehman and a 74 by Logan Zurn. UTSA posted an 18-shot improvement from its opening round and is in 14th place at 20-over 596, 12 shots ahead of Navy and only six strokes behind No. 26 Northwestern (+10) in the team standings that include 10 nationally ranked squads.

🔼 Six Straight Spectacular Showings. The UTSA men’s tennis team (5-7) earned its sixth consecutive victory over Incarnate Word (6-4) on Friday afternoon at the Mabry Tennis Center, topping the Cardinals with a 6-1 result in the first series meeting under the guidance of first-year head coach Sasha Gozun.

🔼 No Luck Needed. UTSA will travel to Arizona to compete in the Clover Cup, which will be hosted by Notre Dame on today through Wednesday, March 10-12, at Wigwam Resort’s Blue Course in Litchfield Park. The field will play 18 holes each day. 

This will mark the third tournament of the spring for the Roadrunners, who registered their best 54-hole total of the season with a 5-under-par 859 (287-286-286) while placing ninth at the Chevron Collegiate on Feb. 24-25 at the Golf Club of Houston. Daniela Abonce led the way by tying for 12th with a 6-under 210 (72-68-70).

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Six!

Redshirt senior Jordyn Jenkins earned Player of the Year. This marks the second occasion she has earned the award after accomplishing the feat in 2022-23 when the Roadrunners were a member of Conference USA. Jenkins boasted five Player of the Week awards on the season and six total in The American, slotting her seventh on the league's all-time list despite playing less than two full seasons. Jenkins was also a unanimous first-team all-conference selection.
