Sophomore forward Taylor Ross and freshman forward Sema Udo will sit out the season with injuries, UTSA coach Karen Aston announced Monday in a news release.

Ross was considered one of the top players in San Antonio when she came out of Brennan High School.

She played as a UTSA freshman last year and helped lead the team to an American Conference regular-season championship. She had 50 points, 49 rebounds and 12 blocks.

Udo, the younger sister of UTSA center Idara Udo, was set to her first year of college basketball.

She was twice first-team all district at Plano East and was the team’s MVP in her sophomore and junior seasons.

The Roadrunners open the season Thursday night in Lubbock against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
