A year after coming within seconds of the West Coast Conference tournament title, the University of San Diego women’s basketball team missed the tournament entirely due to a positive COVID-19 test within the program. USD announced on Feb. 25 that the team would not compete for two weeks due to the positive result, meaning the team would not travel to Las Vegas for the tournament, which began on March 4.
USD Athletics’ strategic communications department said that the team would not take questions about them missing the tournament, but a player agreed to speak to The USD Vista on the condition that they not be named.
