🔼 Defending Champs Set The Schedule. UTSA soccer unveiled its full 18-game 2026 slate, featuring 11 home matches as the Roadrunners look to defend their American Conference tournament title. The schedule opens with the Battle for I-35 against Texas State on Aug. 12 before a road trip to TCU, which finished No. 4 nationally last season.

Non-conference play also features visits from Colorado College, Santa Clara, and crosstown rival UIW. American Conference action begins Sept. 24 at East Carolina, with marquee matchups including a trip to three-time defending regular-season champion Memphis and home dates against Rice, UAB, and Tulsa. Head coach Derek Pittman, extended through 2030 this spring, has guided UTSA to two conference titles, two NCAA appearances, and a .581 winning percentage over the past five seasons.

🔼 Brains & Bats. UTSA placed four baseball players on the 2026 CSC Academic All-District team: American Conference Player of the Year Drew Detlefsen (3.76 GPA), first-team All-Conference first baseman Caden Miller (3.84), first-team catcher Andrew Stucky (3.53), and Diego Diaz (3.74). The quartet combined for 275 hits and 208 RBI across UTSA's 38-20 campaign and second straight regular-season conference championship. All four earned the honor for the first time.

🔼 Looking Ahead. UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos appeared on the Chronicle of Higher Education's virtual forum called “the Future of College Athletics,” a panel of athletic experts that explored the changing business model of college sports and its effects on institutional finances, governance, enrollment and marketing.
