Freshman Erick Czumbel made his UTSA debut Wednesday in the Roadrunners’ 89-60 exhibition win over Texas A&M International at the UTSA convocation Center.

The 6-foot-3 guard played 20 minutes against A&M International and scored seven points.

Czumbel is a native of Italy and played for the Italian team in the FIBA Under-18 European Championships.

He is the second Italian guard to wear a UTSA uniform in recent seasons. Giovanni De Nicolao completed his three-year career with the Roadrunners last season and recorded 823 points and 348 assists for UTSA.
