In its first competition as a program, San Diego beach volleyball played for a continental championship.

University of San Diego Athletics announced today that youth ages 12 and under will receive free admission to all home Torero soccer, volleyball, football, women's basketball, softball and baseball games, along with select men's basketball games. No advance reservation is required. Families purchase only the number of adult tickets they need and bring the kids along on gameday. Tickets for all upcoming events are available through USD Tickets Central.

In 2018, San Diego men's soccer made a unique coaching change that had little precedent in college athletics. Brian Quinn, who had spent 11 seasons as Seamus McFadden's assistant coach, was promoted to head coach. And McFadden, who had held that job for the previous 39 years, stayed on as Quinn's assistant. You might think of that as a fun trivia question, or a little note before the real story starts, but people within the program know that it's closer to the method for so much that came after that.

Seven Torero student-athletes spent eight days in Duncans, Jamaica this summer on Toreros Go Global, an immersive service-learning program run in partnership with USD's School of Leadership and Education Sciences and the Mulvaney Center.
