SAN FRANCISCO – Senior Associate Director of Athletics/SWA Linda Lappe was in Las Vegas with USF's men's and women's basketball team when she got a call from University of San Francisco administration asking her to join a phone call with other members of the campus community. The goal of the call was to determine the next steps the campus needed to take and what they needed to prepare for regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during the call that Lappe, and the athletic department, started to grasp the full impact the pandemic would have.
