SAN DIEGO TOREROS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

West Coast ConferenceD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Located in San Diego's Mission Valley, the University of San Diego fields a women's basketball program rooted in a student body of 810 across an institution established in 1949. Under head coach Blanche Alverson, the Toreros compete in the West Coast Conference at the Division I level, calling the Jenny Craig Pavilion home for their 15-player roster. The 2024-25 campaign has presented challenges, with the team managing a 9-18 overall record highlighted by a successful 9-6 home mark that contrasts sharply with an 0-12 road record and 2-7 conference standing.

Offensive production has centered around 57.4 points per game, though opponents have averaged 62.7 points against the Toreros, indicating defensive inconsistency as the primary obstacle. The stark disparity between home and away performance—a nine-game differential in win-loss splits—suggests the program's strength lies in Jenny Craig Pavilion comfort rather than sustained road resilience. Alverson's squad must find answers in its conference play moving forward, where a 2-7 mark places them outside competitive positioning in the West Coast Conference standings.
