Lavin threw out the first pitch at the baseball game against SDSU on April 12.

The University of San Diego Men’s Basketball team played a hard fought battle against the University of Portland in the West Coast Conference (WCC) tournament quarterfinals on March 4, in Las Vegas, NV. With a final score of 55-73, the Toreros saw their 2021-22 season come to a disappointing end.

Within 48 hours, a difficult decision was made by USD Executive Director of Athletics Bill McGillis to let go of the team’s head coach, Sam Scholl, and his entire staff.
