SAN ANTONIO – UTSA women's basketball head coach Karen Aston announced the signing of Texas transfer Elyssa Coleman on Thursday.
Coleman joins the Roadrunners after spending the last season with the Longhorns.
"I am so excited to be able to bring Elyssa into our program," Aston said. "We built a relationship with her and her family during her high school recruitment and I know the quality of her work and her integrity as a person. She will be hungry and anxious to impact Roadrunner basketball. Elyssa comes from a winning culture and I'm so anxious to see her develop and reach her potential not only as a player, but as a student, leader and young woman."
