🔼 Pirates Walk Their Own Plank. The UTSA soccer team (6-3, 1-1 AAC) showed the necessary grit to triumph over an aggressive East Carolina (4-2-3, 1-1 AAC) squad on Thursday night at Johnson Stadium. Tyler Coker and Sasjah Dade netted goals in the 2-0 shutout victory over the home-standing Pirates for one of the Roadrunners’ most complete games of the year so far.

Leading UTSA to its fifth shutout of the season and her fourth solo clean sheet, sophomore goalkeeper Jasmine Kessler notched her ninth career solo shutout – taking sole possession of third on the UTSA career list.
