🤙 The Official Newsletter For UTSA Athletics, brought to you by Cowboys A/C

Good morning, Roadrunners Fam. For the second consecutive season, the UTSA WBB team will compete in a national postseason tournament, with the squad receiving an automatic berth into the Women's Basketball Invitational Tournament (WBIT). UTSA is set to take on Gonzaga in the first round on Thursday, March 20, in Spokane, Washington. The selection comes after a historic 26-4 season, including a 17-1 mark in conference play and an AAC regular season championship.

This will be UTSA's fourth time playing in a postseason tournament and its first appearance in the WBIT after previously competing in the WNIT in 2024, and making the NCAA Tournament following Southland Conference Tournament Championships in 2008 and 2009.

🔼 Continuing to Court Success. The UTSA Roadrunners picked up their 15th win of the season defeating Denver 4-3 on Sunday, March 16, at the UTSA Tennis Center.

The Roadrunners are now 15-2 with a 7-1 home record and an 8-0 road record. Their only two losses have come against AAC opponents.

The Roadrunners will host UTRGV at 11 a.m. tomorrow.

🔼 A Mixed Bag, Part One. After dropping the Friday game, the UTSA baseball team took down No. 20 Dallas Baptist on Saturday—the squad’s second win against a ranked opponent.

Pitcher Braylon Owens went right to work in game two, as he struck out the first three batters he saw. Owens gave up his first hit in the second, which was a solo home run to give DBU the lead.

In a Sunday blip, the Roadrunners fell to No. 20 Dallas Baptist 14-4 in seven innings on Sunday, March 16, for the series rubber game—the Roadrunners’ second series loss of the season.

🔼 A Mixed Bag, Part Two. The UTSA softball team split with Memphis across a Friday doubleheader, first falling 7-2 before working a 4-3 win at the Tiger Softball Complex.

UTSA bounced back in game two, with Ava Eldridge (3-1) earning a 4-3 victory and Reyes (3) logging a save. Sophomore Caton Letbetter strutted her stuff in the win with a double and a critical defense play.

The UTSA softball team dropped a back-and-forth battle for the rubber game against Memphis on Sunday, falling 9-8 at the Tiger Softball Complex.  

🔼 Time to Ascend. Ascend Collegiate Services, a division of Ascend Fundraising Solutions, and UTSA Athletics have announced a partnership aimed at significantly increasing financial support for UTSA’s student-athletes across all sports.

Runners United, the Roadrunners’ official NIL initiative, will now feature an innovative multi-tiered subscription-based program designed to channel fan enthusiasm into direct support for UTSA’s student-athletes.

🔼 “Lien” On Us. A pair of UTSA women’s track and field underclassmen notched All-American accolades on Friday in the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Freshman Mia Lien and sophomore Ida Breigan became the 11th and 12th Roadrunner women to garner indoor All-American laurels.

Focus now quickly shifts to outdoor season, where the Roadrunners will open up hosting the UTSA Invitational from Friday, March 21 - Saturday, March 22.

🔼 Great Golf, From A to Zurn. UTSA travels to the Golf Club of Houston for the All-American Intercollegiate, which will be co-hosted by Rice and Houston today and tomorrow. The event will feature a team tournament held on the Tournament Course (par 72/7,245 yards) and an individual competition on the Member Course (par 72/7,508 yards).

Logan Zurn led the way at The Hayt last week by carding a 2-over-par 218 (75-74-69) to tie for 22nd at Sawgrass Country Club. He owns UTSA’s second-best scoring average this season with a 73.85 mark, and has placed in the top 30 in each of his last five outings.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Tied for third!

2024 Indoor All-American Ida Breigan reached 6.35m (20-10) on her third jump, logging a 10th-place finish in the event and earning Second Team All-American in the long jump. With the third honor in the books, she ties Jody Dunston (1987-89) for the third most-decorated Roadrunner woman in program history. Breigan defended her AAC title two weeks ago and was also awarded AAC Field Most Outstanding Performance.
