Before a big game or match, music can play different roles — helping athletes focus, calm nerves or tap into the energy they need. For Triton women scholar-athletes, those pregame choices range from high-energy anthems to familiar tracks that steady the mind or spark joy. To mark National Girls & Women in Sports Day on Feb. 4, we asked them to share their game-day hype song or walk-up song: the track they listen to before competition to build confidence, focus or energy.]]>game day playlist NGWSD 2026Wed, 4 Feb 2026 10:00:00 PST421546https://ucsdtritons.com/news/2026/1/22/general-league-best-53-named-to-big-west-fall-all-academic-team.aspxhttps://ucsdtritons.com/news/2026/1/22/general-league-best-53-named-to-big-west-fall-all-academic-team.aspxCross Country, General, Men's Soccer, Men's Water Polo, Women's Soccer, Women's Volleyball

UC San Diego Director of Athletics Andy Fee has announced the hiring of Spencer McLachlin as the Tritons' new women's volleyball head coach. McLachlin becomes the eighth head coach in program history. The 2026 season will mark UC San Diego's final in The Big West before the program transitions to the West Coast Conference prior to the 2027 campaign.   "Spencer brings exactly what we need at this moment. He's helped build winning programs, developed All-Americans, and knows how to compete at the highest level," Fee said. "His playing career at Stanford and coaching experience at Hawaii, Cal, UCLA, Indiana, and USC give him a deep understanding of what championship volleyball looks like in major conferences. But what really stood out was his approach to the whole scholar-athlete experience. He gets what we're building here at UC San Diego as we establish ourselves in Division I and look ahead to the West Coast Conference. Our scholar-athletes are going to love playing for him, and I'm confident he'll have this program competing for championships."]]>Spencer McLachlin head coachTue, 23 Dec 2025 16:40:00 PST1921433https://ucsdtritons.com/news/2025/12/16/womens-volleyball-two-tritons-earn-academic-all-district-honors.aspxhttps://ucsdtritons.com/news/2025/12/16/womens-volleyball-two-tritons-earn-academic-all-district-honors.aspxWomen's Volleyball
