On Saturday, five seniors played their last game in a Coyote uniform. Seniors Jasmine Sauser and Rachel Cain of the women's team, and Garrett Baggett, Justice Green, and Malik Rhodes were the seniors who were honored. The Coyotes, unfortunately, lost both games to Stanislaus State; the women’s team lost 65-52, and the men's team 97-88. Saturday’s games kicked off with the two women seniors being honored before the game. Jasmine Sauser, the teams leading scorer, had an off game with 3 points on 1-11 shooting. “Jasmine has been good for us all year. Her scoring and leadership have been key.

Why Doesn’t CSUSB Have a Football Team?
We have so many sports, so much space with grass fields, but no stadium. I sat down with Brian Gaul, the Assistant Athletic Director of Marketing and Athletic Communications to discuss the reasons why CSUSB does not have a football team. There are many reasons why there is not a team, and all of those reasons need to be attended to before we even think about starting a football team. One of the biggest issues is funding. There are no Division 2 football teams in Southern California, so the team would have to travel to the Midwest to compete and that’s a huge expense. There would need to be a big push from all of the CSU’s to have football teams to have people to … [Read more...] about Why Doesn’t CSUSB Have a Football Team?
My Baseball team through photos
Impossible is one of many words thrown towards the CSUSB Baseball team achieving not only a Conference Title but one of six spots in the CCAA Tournament at the end of the season once being placed 11th out of twelve teams in the Preseason Coaches Poll. Pictures from pre-season games 2 and 3 against Southern New Hampshire show the emotion and our bloodthirst want of a victory. Players such as Ty Lineberger (#21), Sergio Rey (#3), as well as myself (#6) are photographed by the quick-fingered, redshirt freshman, Trent Packard. … [Read more...] about My Baseball team through photos
Who is the Coyote Man?
The remix of Luis Fonsi's Despacito stops and lights finally fill the Coussoulis Arena. As soon as the referee blows his whistle to announce the start of the game, students jump out of their seats and start chanting. Mesmerized by the volume of the chants and screams and the scene of the blue waves of fans in their CSUSB sweatshirts, kids have forgotten that they have snacks in their hands. Game day has arrived. Down on the court, there's a man dressed in CSUSB paraphernalia - blue wig, blue cape, and blue sleeves - from head to toe. His face is painted in blue and white. It's Coyote Man. For years, the crusader in his blue cape has been seen at every home game, rain or shine. … [Read more...] about Who is the Coyote Man?

Men’s Basketball surge towards playoffs
Halfway through the basketball season, Cal State San Bernardino Men’s team is finding their rhythm and consistency under first-year head coach Andy Newman. While the students were on winter break, the Men’s team were competing in non- league tournaments and working hard in practice. That hard work has paid dividends because the team has shown tremendous improvement over winter break, by going an impressive 6-2. Currently sitting at 11- 7 overall and 7-5 in league play, the Coyotes are sitting in fifth place in the California Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAA), thanks to a 5 game league win streak. An unfortunate tough loss on the road to Cal State Dominguez brought the … [Read more...] about Men’s Basketball surge towards playoffs
Men’s basketball go 1-1 over the weekend
For the first game of the weekend, the Cal State San Bernardino men's basketball team fell to San Francisco State University 81-72. The SFSU gators scored 43 points in the second half thanks to Jiday Ugbaja’s 31 points. In an important home game the coyotes were looking to avenge an earlier season 80-76 loss at SFSU. To start, the Coyotes fell into an early 19-11 hole, but went on a 23-5 run that was fueled by a Justice green dunk. The Coyotes ended the half up 41-38 thanks to defensive pressure and three point shots. The second half was a different story where the team was limited to 31 points and struggled defensively. The coyotes gave up 12 three pointers, on a night … [Read more...] about Men’s basketball go 1-1 over the weekend
Are You Ready For Baseball?
The Cal State San Bernardino Baseball team has officially started off preparations for the 2019 season after their return from winter break. They finished last year’s season with a conference record of 15-29 and an overall record of 15-35. The Coyotes had unfortunately fallen short in making an appearance in the 2018 CCAA Conference Tournament.

With only a few returners from last year, the Coyote’s coaching staff has made a huge improvement with not only player addition, … [Read more...] about Are You Ready For Baseball?
Coyote Basketball
The college basketball season has finally arrived and the CSUSB Men’s team cannot wait to get started. After finishing last season with an overall record of 13-14 and making the CCAA playoffs, head coach Jeff Oliver and his coaching staff resigned after being in charge for the last 16 years. During those years, Oliver coached the team to 6 CCAA Championships along with 9 trips to the NCAA playoffs. This left athletic director Shawn Farrell needing a new head coach. He searched all over the Nation, and Andy Newman from the University of Texas of Permian Basin (UTPB), was the choice of all that had the opportunity to meet him. According to Farrell, one word to describe Newman … [Read more...] about Coyote Basketball
