🤙 The Official Newsletter For UTSA Athletics, brought to you by J-Prime Steakhouse

TGIF, Roadrunners Fam. The UTSA soccer team (6-2-2, 2-0 AMER) put up the walls and leaned on its strength as one of the nation’s elite defenses in shutting down the top-shooting team in the American Conference on Thursday night at the Park West Athletics Complex. Holding North Texas (4-6-1, 0-1 AMER) to just two shots on the night, the Roadrunners secured their fourth consecutive victory on the strength of senior Izzy Lane’s 82nd-minute one-on-one gamewinner for the 1-0 win over the Mean Green.

Giving a nod to the foundation of the program in celebrating the Roadrunners’ 20th season before a historic fourth-biggest crowd of 1,173, the current squad did what they do best under eighth-year head coach Derek Pittman, controlling possession and snuffing out every Mean Green drive into their territory.
