🔼 Records Are Made to Be Broken. With a historical night on the schedule celebrating UTSA soccer’s 20th season at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18, and the long-standing cross-state rivalry with North Texas, the Roadrunners are looking to aim even higher. UTSA soccer seeks to break the single-game home attendance record at the Park West Athletics Complex.

🗣 “San Antonio, this is your night to show up and show out,” eighth-year head coach Derek Pittman said.

With plenty of support from the UTSA student-athletes at the annual Run as One game, the Roadrunners are asking San Antonio to join in the Run as One spirit, make Park West extra Rowdy, and cheer the squad to victory against the Mean Green.

🔼 The Superior Bird Won. The first conference opener dub since 2016? Now that’s a BIG DEAL! Congrats to the UTSA ‘Runners soccer team for the squad’s incredibly hard work on the pitch Thursday night and the win over the FAU Owls.

“It’s a very strong connection that you can already feel from day one,” said Watson of the UTSA soccer experience. “The competitiveness and the drive are things that’re enforced the second you step onto the field, and I think that mentality here is something you can’t get other places.”
