\nUC SAN DIEGO TO THE WEST COAST CONFERENCE
\nOn September 3, UC San Diego announced that it has accepted an invitation to join the West Coast Conference beginning in 2027-28. Triton women’s tennis will meet a trio of WCC foes this season: at USD (Jan. 14), at Santa Clara (March 24), and at LMU (April 5).

\nWHY THE TRITONS?
\nThe Triton is described as the offspring of Poseidon and Amphitrite, a demigod of the sea with a lower part of the body like that of a fish. It is known as a mighty and fierce sea warrior. Given UC San Diego’s close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its connections with the world-famous Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Triton became our mascot in 1964.
