Hosts Gianna Echeverria and Brandon Rodriguez invited third-year women’s basketball head coach Amy Wright to preview the upcoming 2025-26 season. With the departures of last year’s core players, Wright broke down the team’s change heading into this season and who will step up. 

Wright has made tournament appearances in her first two seasons and wants to compete again for a Big West Championship. Wright shared why this team’s culture has shaped the team’s early success. Wright has experienced success before The Beach, having coached at the University of Oklahoma and Texas A&M. 

Wright is optimistic about the roster she has and expects them to step up and find success in the Big West. Wright urged Beach fans to go to the Walter Pyramid and watch the games this season. She shared about their staple of athletes going out to thank the crowd after the game.
