Thursday marks the 30th Anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, the second of two destructive earthquakes to hit San Francisco last century. Today we look back with some members of the USF Athletics department, both past and present, to share their memories of that tragic day and the surrounding days on The Hilltop.
It was October 17, 1989, when the University of San Francisco women's soccer team was playing its cross-city opponent, San Francisco State, at Cox Stadium. The Dons and the Gators remained tied by the end of regulation and were entering overtime.
"It was a very competitive game," said former head coach Erik Visser.
