San Antonio Gears Up for Exciting Women’s Basketball Showdown!

San Antonio is buzzing with excitement as the UTSA Women’s Basketball team prepares to kick-off their 2024-25 season on Thursday. The Roadrunners are ready to face off against the formidable Texas A&M Aggies in what promises to be a thrilling game at Reed Arena in College Station. Mark your calendars for an 11 a.m. tip-off!

A Big Start to the New Season

Fans can catch all the action live on SEC Network +, featuring Will Johnson calling the play-by-play and Tap Bentz serving as the analyst. For those in the greater San Antonio area, you can tune in to the game on The Bull 93.3 FM, or listen from anywhere in the world using the iHeartRadio app. The buzz around this season is palpable, and the excitement is building!

Building on Last Year’s Success

The UTSA Roadrunners are coming off a fantastic 2023-24 campaign, where they not only showcased their talent but also claimed their first postseason victory by defeating Northern Colorado with an impressive score of 80-62 in the First Round of the 2024 WNIT. The team wrapped up their previous season with an overall record of 18-15 and secured a solid 10-8 conference record that landed them in fourth place in The American standings. Thanks to their strong performance, they enjoyed a double-bye in the championship tournament!

Exhibition Match Triumph

Kicking off their new season, the Roadrunners recently dominated St. Mary’s in an exhibition game, coming out on top with a staggering 90-38 victory. The team seems to be in a great groove, and this rout has certainly set a positive tone as they head into their official season debut.

The Aggies: A Tough Challenge

The Roadrunners will face a tough opponent in the Texas A&M Aggies, who wrapped up their 2023-24 season with a 19-13 record and earned an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament. Although the Aggies fought hard last season, they experienced a heart-wrenching defeat to the No. 6 seed Nebraska. This time around, the Aggies are bound and determined to make a strong statement, and they’ll be led by key returning players Aicha Coulibaly and Lauren Ware.

Key Players to Watch

Aicha Coulibaly enjoyed a standout season last year, earning two second-team All-SEC selections. This season, she finds herself on a Preseason All-Conference squad, and with her experience, she could potentially turn the tide for A&M in this match-up. Don’t forget about Lauren Ware, who has made it onto the Lisa Leslie Award watchlist—her skills and capabilities will surely be crucial for the Aggies.

The Aggies’ Recent Performance

Starting this season, the Aggies faced a setback against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, where they fell short with a final score of 62-56. Jada Malone led the team in scoring with 11 points and nine rebounds, while Janae Kent gave a solid performance, contributing 10 points and seven rebounds. The Aggies will be eager to bounce back, making this upcoming game even more intriguing!
