"We are very excited about this year's schedule," Sheen said. "Our non-conference opponents should more than prepare us for Conference USA competition, and our fans will be excited to see some Power Five conference teams coming to play us here in San Antonio. We're really looking forward to the season."
The Roadrunners will host a pair of exhibition matches against Texas State on Aug. 11 and Houston two days later.
