A Message From President Lyons The University of San Diego is very proud of the student-athletes thatrepresentourinstitution on 16men's and women's NCAADivision-Iathletic teams. These are proud and serious competitors, honored to represent the Univer– sity. The dedication you witness on the playing fields, on the court, on the course, or in the water is greatly matched in the classrooms, the laboratories, on stage, or in the community. Over forty percent of our student-athletes carry a grade– point average above 3.2, and 11 of our teams have a cumulative grade-point average above 3.0. Athletics is vital to theUniversity ofSan Diego, a way students, faculty, staff and alumni come together as one community. I am both a university president and a Torero fan; I look forward to sharing the excitement of Torero athletics with ourmany fans.
