USD Women's Basketball 2004-2005

A Message From President Mary Lyons The University of San Diego is very proud of the student-athletes that represent our institution on 16 men's and women's NCAA Division-I athletic teams. These are proud and serious competitors, honored to represent the University. 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 fo rty 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 the University of San 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 excite– ment of Torero athletics with our many fans.
