UP NEXT
The Tritons’ regular-season finale is on Tuesday at No. 32 UCLA.
 
ROSTER BREAKDOWN
This year’s squad features five seniors, one junior, one sophomore and three freshmen. Seven return from last season, with seven Tritons concluding their collegiate careers in 2024. California is home for all but three members of the 2025 team.
 
MEET THE NEWCOMERS
In its fifth year as an NCAA Division I program and its first as full members, the UC San Diego men’s tennis team is excited to introduce its three-person scholar-athlete signing class of David Adamson (San Diego, Calif.), Robert Freedman (San Diego, Calif.) and James Krantz (Newport Beach, Calif.).
 
HEAD COACH TIMMER WILLING
Willing is in his 13th season as head coach of the UC San Diego men’s tennis program. He has been with the Tritons for 24 years, having previously served as an assistant coach. Willing’s Division II teams went 84-70 (.545) and qualified for the NCAA postseason five times. Since joining Division I, Willing has seen the team improve its win total each season.
 
TOP OF THE LINEUP
Zach Pellouchoud and Pelayo Rodriguez return this year after leading the team’s doubles lineup in 2024. The duo finished with an 11-8 record together. Also returning are top singles players Carson Lee and Diogo Tinoco. Lee played in the No. 1 or 2 spot in all but two matches last season, with Tinoco appearing in the No. 2 or 3 spot every match.
 
ACADEMIC RECOGNITION
In 2024, Zach Pellouchoud was named an ITA Scholar-Athlete. Charles Qian and Pelayo Rodriguez were named to the Big West Spring All-Academic Team and were joined by four other members of this year’s squad on the Big West Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

BEST OF THE BIG WEST
Carson Lee (Second Team) and Diogo Tinoco (Honorable Mention) look to repeat as All-Big West selections in singles play. Pelayo Rodriguez and Zach Pellouchoud (Second Team) are hoping to do the same in doubles.
 
POSTSEASON ELIGIBLE
UC San Diego has completed a four-year transition process to Division I, which means 2024-25 is the first year the Tritons are fully eligible for conference and NCAA postseason play. This year’s Big West Men’s & Women’s Tennis Championships will be held April 25-27 at the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego.

WHY THE TRITONS?
The Triton is described as the offspring of Poseidon and Amphitrite, a demigod of the sea with a lower part of the body like that of a fish. It is known as a mighty and fierce sea warrior. Given UC San Diego’s close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its connections with the world-famous Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Triton became our mascot in 1964.

TENNIS TALK ON UC SAN DIEGO ATHLETICS’ PODCAST
As part of UC San Diego’s transition to Division I, the Athletics Department launched a weekly podcast, Tritoncast. Produced by UC San Diego Athletics Communications, Tritoncast features in-depth interviews with UC San Diego personalities including scholar-athletes, alums, coaches and administrators. Triton fans will get an inside look at the UC San Diego Athletics Department as the program transitions to NCAA Division I and The Big West.

Southern Oregon wins Cascade Conference All-Sports Championship

Published 11:56 pm Tuesday, May 20, 2025

ASHLAND — The Cascade Collegiate Conference All-Sports Championship trophy is back in Southern Oregon’s possession.

SOU was officially awarded the title — the athletic department’s first since winning four in a row from 2015-19 — when the points race was finalized this week. It arrived following a 2024-25 season in which the Raiders captured championships in softball, volleyball, women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s wrestling.

Points in the All-Sports race awarded based on finishes in CCC regular-season standings — except in the cases of cross country, golf, track and field, and wrestling, whose scores are based on finishes in postseason CCC championships. SOU accumulated 211.07 points, while College of Idaho was second with 202.76 and Eastern Oregon was third with 192.16.

In addition to the five first-place finishes, SOU earned second place in beach volleyball, women’s cross country and men’s soccer. The men’s golf team finished third, and the women’s golf and men’s basketball teams were fourth.

In sports with head-to-head wins and losses, SOU went 123-28-4 in conference play this season.

The All-Sports Championship trophy was first awarded in 2006-07. SOU has won it five times, more than any other active school.

SOU is one of 11 full members in the CCC, which also includes 10 associate members.

WATCH: Walker Buehler, Alex Cora ejected for arguing balls & strikes – 98.5 The Sports Hub

The third inning got quite heated at Fenway Park during Tuesday night’s 2-0 Red Sox win over the New York Mets. Starting pitcher Walker Buehler and manager Alex Cora got ejected from the ballgame for arguing balls and strikes, long an automatic punishment.

However, the ejection was not without some controversy. Buehler can typically argue while literally on the mound, but appeared to get tossed because he left the mound and barked too closely at home plate umpire Mike Estabrook.

“He can say stuff from the mound. But once he comes off the mound, he’s leaving his position to argue balls and strikes,” reasoned the game’s crew chief Laz Diaz in a statement for a pool report (via Chris Cotillo of MassLive). “Once anybody leaves their position to argue balls and strikes, that’s an immediate ejection.”

The ruling seemed to cause a stir locally, because it appeared that Estabrook provoked Buehler by approaching him while he was still on the mound (i.e. remaining at his position). It was as if the ump baited Buehler into the ejection in the first place.

Buehler himself seemed to make such an argument, via X following the game: “Who cut the distance?”

In the end, the Red Sox were able to get the job done without Buehler and Cora, anyway. But the ejection was, expectedly, the talk of the game. Replacement manager Ramón Vázquez coached the Sox to victory with the bullpen for the second game in a row.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation announced the expansion of its T2T Student-Athlete Advocate Program, adding two new students to the growing initiative designed to connect current student-athletes to the foundation’s mission and ensure young Americans “Never Forget” the sacrifices made by first responders and military members.

The two students, Caitlin Collins, a freshman lacrosse player at Rutgers University, and Jack Holl, a senior water polo player at Pennsylvania State University-Behrend, stand alongside an elite roster of student-athletes from across the country representing the Foundation. 


The program, launched in September 2021, is designed to help current student-athletes expand their personal brands while promoting the organization’s mission to honor first responders, military veterans, and their families.


To date, 18 student-athletes and young professionals have collaborated with the foundation to participate in the initiative.

“We are excited to expand the Tunnel to Towers Foundation Student-Athlete Advocate Program and have Jack and Caitlin join the ranks of other incredible student-athletes across the nation to raise awareness of the Foundation’s mission to do good,” said Tunnel to Towers CEO and Chairman Frank Siller.

“Not only are they champions in their respective sports, but they are becoming champions for America’s military and first responder families. Their commitment inspires hope and ensures the legacy of our fallen heroes lives on.” 


PHOTO: Tunnel to Towers Foundation

On July 1, 2021, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced that all student-athletes would have the opportunity to benefit from their name, image, and likeness. Student-athletes can now engage in Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) activities consistent with the state’s law where the school is located.

Chosen Tunnel to Towers Foundation Student-Athlete Advocates are expected to familiarize themselves with the organization’s mission and talking points, participate in T2T events across the country, and engage with T2T followers through content creation on the Foundation’s website and social media channels.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation is dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller, who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. For over 20 years, the Foundation has supported our nation’s first responders, veterans, and their families by providing these heroes and the families they leave behind with mortgage-free homes.

To date, Tunnel to Towers has delivered over 1,500 mortgage-free homes to our nation’s heroes and committed over $1 billion across all of our programs.  

This year, the Foundation is delivering over 200 mortgage-free homes to catastrophically injured veterans and first responders, Gold Star families, and families of first responders who leave behind young children. Tunnel to Towers is also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness, providing over 10,000 of America’s homeless veterans with housing assistance and services to date.


Caitlin Collins

Caitlin Collins is a freshman at Rutgers University in New Jersey and a first-year student-athlete on the Women’s Lacrosse team this spring. She hails from Morristown, New Jersey, and comes from a long line of firefighters in her family.

She is the daughter of a firefighter captain, granddaughter of a retired firefighter, and great-granddaughter of a former battalion chief.


Caitlin’s personal experience growing up with first responders inspired her to become a T2T Student-Athlete Advocate and demonstrate to young Americans what it means to do good.

“I am very passionate about Tunnel to Towers and how they help the families of fallen military and first responders, especially because I grew up visiting my father’s fire station and have seen firsthand how much of an impact the organization makes on families and their communities. I am honored to represent the Tunnel to Towers Foundation as a member of its Student-Athlete Advocate Program, and I am thrilled by the opportunity to continue spreading its mission of doing good among my Gen Z peers.” – Caitlin Collins, Rutgers University Women’s Lacrosse.


Jack Holl

Jack Holl is a senior at Pennsylvania State University-Behrend, where he is positioned in the two-meter and captain of the Men’s Water Polo team.

Jack is originally from Greenwich, Connecticut, and comes from a large family with deep roots in the New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Fire Department of New York (FDNY).


His father tragically lost his best friend, FDNY firefighter John Daniel Marshall, on 9/11, and raised Jack to understand the sacrifice of our heroes who gave their lives that day.

“From a young age, my father instilled in me a profound respect for all first responders and members of our armed forces and emphasized the importance of supporting those who protect us. I am proud to join the Tunnel to Towers Student-Athlete Advocate Program to honor and Never Forget the memory of my best friend, John Daniel Marshall, and all of the heroes who make sacrifices each and every day to keep our country and communities safe.”– Jack Holl, Pennsylvania State University Men’s Water Polo
