UTSA/Memphis match canceled, ‘Runners to host intrasquad contest

SAN ANTONIO – Due to travel complications related to Friday's FAA ground stoppage, two American Conference women's volleyball matches, Memphis at UTSA and Wichita State at UAB, originally scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15, have been canceled. The contests will not be rescheduled.

In place of the match, UTSA will host an intrasquad scrimmage, with first serve still set for the originally scheduled 1 p.m. start. The Roadrunners will square off against one another in a three-set affair, taking the court one more time in 2026.

Following the scrimmage, UTSA will recognize three graduating Roadrunners during its senior day ceremony. Opposite hitter Brooke Elliott, defensive specialist Bailey Lechler and middle blocker Miranda Putnicki are set to be honored after nine collective seasons with the program.

Head coach Carol Price-Torok, on the announcement: “Brooke Elliott, Bailey Lecher and Miranda Putnicki are pillars of our program and how our team rallies around each other. They give back to our community, they’re team players and they’ve left this program in a better spot than they found it. It’s unfortunate that these circumstances caused their last match to be canceled, but we owe it to them to send them off with tons of support and fanfare. To fans with tickets, we ask you to please come out, show these seniors some love and support the ‘Runners one more time at the Convo. We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday and celebrating a special group in front of our amazing fans.”

Convocation Center doors open at noon, one hour before first serve. Usual in-match promotions will run and concessions will be available to spectators, who are encouraged to come support the graduating senior class. All scheduled groups will have the opportunity to participate in their scheduled fan experience packages.
