SAN ANTONIO – The UTSA women's basketball team is set to play its final nonconference home contests of 2025, with Prairie View A&M headed to the Convocation Center on Saturday at 1 p.m. in a Hoops for the Holidays contest, before the ‘Runners host Texas A&M-Kingsville for Rowdy's Fast Break Field Trip on Monday at 11 a.m.
On Saturday, the first 125 fans in the arena can receive a limited-edition UTSA Santa hat. Spectators are invited to join the Roadrunners' annual halftime Teddy Bear Toss by bringing a new or like-new stuffed animal. Donations go to underprivileged and foster children in the greater San Antonio area. Participants should label their stuffed animal at the marketing table for a chance to win a UTSA swag bag.
On Monday, Rowdy's Fast Break Field Trip represents a new initiative that opens the doors of The Convo to elementary school students in the greater San Antonio area, giving them a firsthand look at intercollegiate athletics and higher education. The contest will feature education-related elements throughout the game, along with a special pregame message from UTSA baseball player Jordan Ballin.
Both games will be broadcast live on ESPN+ with Jordy Fee-Platt (play-by-play), Carlie Heineman (analyst) and Sean Cartell (reporter) on the call. Neal Raphael will deliver all the action on the radio in the greater San Antonio area on The Bull 93.3 FM and worldwide on the iHeartRadio app. Fans can purchase tickets at goutsa.com/wbbtickets.
