Jessica Rogers (Softball • 2003-07)
A record-setting hitter, Jessica Rogers was a key member of the UTSA softball team that captured the first conference championship and made the first NCAA postseason appearances in program history. A native of Grand Prairie, Texas, she was a four-time first-team All-Southland Conference performer and three-time NFCA All-South Region selection.
She swept Southland Conference Player and Hitter of the Year accolades in 2005 after posting 23 home runs and 64 RBIs. She led the NCAA in home runs per game and helped guide the Roadrunners to a 42-18 record and the conference championship with a 21-5 mark. The year prior, she helped lead UTSA to a 37-win campaign and a sweep of the regular season and tournament crowns.
She finished her career with numerous school and conference records. She set the Southland Conference career standards with 69 home runs, 192 RBIs and 525 total bases. She also set UTSA career records with 159 runs, 281 hits and 104 extra-base hits.
An excellent student, Rogers was a two-time first-team Academic All-American in 2005 and 2007, a three-time Southland Student-Athlete of the Year, and a 2007 Senior CLASS finalist. Her No. 29 jersey was retired in 2008.
