IRVING, Texas—Following a win Tuesday over Tulane and league results Wednesday, the UTSA women's basketball team has clinched its first conference championship since the 2008-09 season and the fifth regular-season title in program history, with two games remaining on its American Athletic Conference schedule.
Under the direction of fourth-year head coach Karen Aston, the Roadrunners have amassed a 15-1 league record that has guaranteed the squad at least a share of the title, with North Texas and South Florida tied for second at 13-3. With a win in either of its final contests against Florida Atlantic on Saturday or the following Tuesday at East Carolina, UTSA would cement itself as the outright champion and the No. 1 seed in the 2025 American Women's Basketball Championship. Additionally, the 'Runners 15 league wins are tied for the second-most in the UTSA annals, behind the 2002-03 Southland Championship squad that went 17-3.
Along with the 2002-03 title, the 2008-09 team compiled a 14-2 mark to tie for the top spot in the Southland's West Division. UTSA won two championships prior as a member of the Oil Country Athletic Conference, going 8-1 in 1983-84 for an outright crown and tied West Texas A&M for the top spot with a 9-1 ledger in 1984-85.
UTSA will now look to secure the top seed on Saturday, with a Senior Day showdown looming with Florida Atlantic at noon in the Convocation Center. The Roadrunner faithful are eyeing a new single-game attendance record as a part of the festivities, and tickets can be found at utsa.pro/record.
