SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA women's basketball program is set to host their annual potluck event on Tuesday, Oct. 21, with fans invited to the Convocation Center to witness an open practice beginning at 5:30 p.m., ahead of the potluck at 7 p.m. Those wishing to attend and bring a dish may RSVP to Assistant Coach, Sophia Ramos, at sophia.ramos@utsa.edu.
The event will provide a first look at the 2025-26 UTSA women's basketball squad, which aims to defend its 2025 American Conference Regular-Season Championship.
UTSA returns a pair of regular starters in Idara Udo and Maya Linton, as well as Siena Guttadauro, Damara Allen, Mia Hammonds, Nyayongah Gony, Taylor Ross, Cheyenne Rowe and Emilia Dannebauer. Udo was named Preseason All-Conference after starting all 31 games for the Roadrunners and earning Second-Team All-Conference honors a season ago. The Plano, Texas native managed 25 blocks, 24 steals, and an average of 8.7 points per game at a 42.0% clip. Linton, meanwhile, played a major role defensively, tallying 26 starts, while Allen started six times and Rowe one.
UTSA added six to the squad, including transfer pieces in Ereauna Hardaway (North Texas), Saher Alizada (South Plains College) and Jayda Holiman (UTRGV).
Hardaway was a standout performer for North Texas, serving as a starting point guard the past three seasons, and helping the Mean Green to a Co-American Conference Regular-Season Championship in 2023-24. Alizada heads to UTSA after helping South Plains to a 2024-25 Western Junior College Athletic Conference Championship and a 26-5 overall record, scoring 6.7 points per game, and Holiman will represent the 'Runners after a pair of seasons at UTRGV, where she made the Western Athletic Conference All-Freshman Team. True freshmen Sema Udo, Sanaa Bean and Adriana Robles round out the roster.
