The UTSA women’s basketball program honored its seniors on Thursday night in the Roadrunners’ final home game of the season.

It was the last game at the Convocation Center for Evelyn Omemmah, Deja Cousin, Timea Toth and Tija Hawkins.

UTSA lost to Louisiana Tech 69-30 in a Conference USA game. The Roadrunners fell to 6-22 on the season and 2-15 in conference with one game left.

I’ve never seen a college basketball team hit by as many injuries in a season as this group.

Cousin and Hawkins were not in uniform Thursday, spending the game on the bench in warmups. Cousin has been limited to 11 games this season due to injury and Hawkins played only five games before being sidelined.

Omemmah and Toth both started Thursday. Omemmah was hurt late in the first half and spent the second half sitting with a boot on her right foot.

Karrington Donald, Charlene Mass and Toth are the only UTSA players who have not missed any games this season.

UTEP outscored UTSA 29-7 in the fourth quarter to beat the Roadrunners 85-59 in women’s basketball on Thursday at the UTSA Convocation Center.

UTEP led 56-52 at the end of the third quarter. UTSA, which has typically had only seven to nine players in uniform most of the season due to injuries, wore down over the final 10 minutes.

Avery Crouse led UTEP with 21 points and Ariona Gill and Katia Gallegos had 17 each.

Senior forward Evelyn Omemmah led the Roadrunners with a career-high 17 points and 8 rebounds. Freshman forward Adryuana Quezada had 14 points and 8 rebounds.

Freshman guard Mikayla Woods, who leads UTSA in scoring this season, was not in uniform.

UTSA is 2-12 in Conference USA and 6-19 on the season. UTEP is 7-7 and 14-11.

Keaton Wallace is the UTSA men’s basketball team’s No. 2 scorer with 19.0 points per game.

In addition to his talent for impressive dunks, the 6-foot-3 junior guard from Dallas is also second on the team in 3-pointers made (70).

The Roadrunners’ next game is at home on Thursday at 8 p.m. against Marshall.
