THE WEEK THAT WAS
Last weekend, UTSA hosted Rice, falling in five sets as Gigi Mason returned from a nearly two-month absence. Two days later, the ‘Runners welcomed Wichita State to the Convocation Center, toppling the Shockers in four sets to snap a six-match skid. Valeria Ortiz and Isabella Arroyave each notched double-doubles as the offense hit .250 in its first four-set home victory of the campaign.
LIBERO OF HONOR
On Monday, Alyssa Manitzas was named to the American Conference’s Player of the Week Honorable Mention list. The redshirt junior excelled from the back row, racking up 42 digs over nine sets for an average of 4.67 per frame. Manitzas became the first Roadrunner to earn a distinction on the league’s honorable mention list, joining a pair of teammates who have earned weekly superlative awards.
ABOUT THE MEAN GREEN
North Texas is under the direction of second-year head coach Dave Fleming, who boasts a 34-21 record in his time with the program. The Mean Green are 6-8 in league play, entering the week in control of their own destiny, needing two wins to solidify the eighth and final spot in next week’s American Conference Championship.
UTSA matched up with UNT back on Oct. 14, sweeping its in-state foe. The Navy & Orange utilized 13 team blocks and 18 digs from Alyssa Manitzas to stifle the visitors’ attack to a -.010 hitting percentage. A win over the Mean Green would make UNT the only opponent to fall twice against UTSA this season, joining Charlotte as the only league teams unable to hand the ‘Runners defeat.
UP NEXT
On Sunday, UTSA hosts Memphis (10-15, 5-9 AMER) as it recognizes three graduating Roadrunners for Senior Day. The Navy & Orange welcome the Tigers for their final match of the season at 1 p.m. from the Convocation Center. All the action will be streamed live on EPSN+ and available to follow via utsa.statbroadcast.com.
