SAN ANTONIO – The Sam Houston Bearkats fell 79-36 to UTSA at the Convocation Center on Saturday.  

The Kats (5-3) tried to slow down the Roadrunners but were unsuccessful. UTSA shot a blistering 48 percent from the field while Sam Houston only shot 22 percent.  

Whitney Dunn proved she was going to be an offensive threat early in the game. She made four of her first five shot attempts, including a 3-pointer, to account for all nine of the Bearkats' first points. 

Sam Houston shot 44 percent from the field and took advantage of their single trip to the charity stripe going 2-2 in the first quarter. The Bearkats cooled off after that. 

Dunn led the team with a season-high of 16 points including a season-high of three 3-point shots. Aysia Ward-Strong led the team with 10 rebounds.  

Sam Houston will face Southern Utah on December 13 at 7:30 p.m. CT. The match will be broadcast on ESPN+.
