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

Good Morning, UTSA Fam.

UTSA opens its 16th season of football Saturday at 2:30 p.m., hosting UTRGV at the Alamodome in the first-ever meeting between the two programs. The Roadrunners are 33-5 at the Alamodome under Jeff Traylor since 2020, the most home wins among American Conference teams and state of Texas programs over that span. UTSA is also 10-5 all-time in season openers and rides in on three straight bowl victories, most recently a 57-20 rout of FIU in the First Responder Bowl. The game airs on ESPN+ and Sports Radio AM 760 The Ticket.

🏈 Navy Out
🏡 Home Debut Win
🤙🏼 And much, much more!

🔼 Buzzer-Beater Winner For History. Brooklyn Bailey delivered with 14 seconds left last night, racing up the middle and beating the keeper with her left foot to lift UTSA soccer past East Texas A&M 2-1, giving ninth-year head coach Derek Pittman his 67th win at UTSA, the outright most in program history!

The game-winning goal came off a Caroline Pelkofski interception and a Sofia Peters ball over the top, and it kept the Roadrunners undefeated at 3-0-3. Freshman Lilli Denhardt got things started in the 15th minute with her second goal of the year, while Jasmine Kessler turned away five shots.

🔼 Navy Out Saturday. The Roadrunners are back at the Alamodome tomorrow! It's Navy Out, so dress the part!

The first 10,000 fans through the doors take home a rally towel courtesy of Ancira Auto Group. Rowdy Town Live opens at 11:30 a.m. with a live DJ, carnival-style attractions, and free giveaways, followed by Spirit Walk at 11:45 a.m. in Roadrunner Alley. In-game prizes include gift cards, cash-filled T-shirts from the Ancira Cash Cannon, and a shot at a brand-new truck. Tickets are available at goUTSA.com/tickets, and full game day details can be found here.

🔼 Home Debut Win. UTSA volleyball christened its home slate with a five-set win over intracity foe UIW yesterday morning at the Convocation Center. Sydney Bryant led the way with 18 kills, including the match-clincher, and paced the Roadrunners in kills for the third straight match. The defense was the story, as UTSA piled up a season-high 12 blocks with Caroline Tredwell collecting seven of them, the single-match high by any Roadrunner this season. Gigi Mason added 12 kills and Giada Obregon anchored the back row with 17 digs. The Roadrunners host Tarleton State tonight at 6 p.m.

🔼 New Partnership Poured. UTSA Athletics has announced a multiyear partnership with Tequila Región De México, beginning with the 2026-27 football season. The brand becomes the official tequila of UTSA Athletics and will sponsor football fan zone activations, football and men's basketball LED assets, and baseball radio. UTSA Sports Properties General Manager Tony Nix pointed to the chance to celebrate the Hispanic heritage that is central to the Roadrunner community.

🔼 Welcome to UTSA. UTSA softball signed three new Roadrunners this week:

Lauren Byrd: The catcher/utility player joins UTSA from Queens University, where she hit .299 with 40 hits, 10 doubles, and two home runs as a sophomore. Byrd earned ASUN All-Freshman honors in 2025 after making 45 starts and belting 10 home runs. The Acworth, Georgia, native will study health sciences with the goal of becoming a physician assistant.

Peyton Clifford: The middle infielder arrives from Pacific as the No. 29 ranked player in the portal by USA Today, with two years of eligibility remaining. Clifford started all but one game as a sophomore, hitting .274 with 37 hits and 17 RBIs, and was a West Coast Conference All-Academic honorable mention. She was also named to the WCC All-Freshman squad in her first season.

Karlie Beth Beasley: The right-hander comes to San Antonio from Shelton State Community College with four seasons of eligibility, having earned All-Conference honors with a 2.18 ERA and 129 strikeouts. Beasley posted a 1.84 ERA and 156 strikeouts as a high school senior, earning ASWA First-Team All-State and Tuscaloosa News Player of the Year honors.
