The Southwestern women's basketball team played their last game of the season against MiraCosta College Friday night, ending a significantly challenging year for the jaguars. After losing a big part of their team due to injuries and transfers early on in the season, some unlikely players stepped up to help the Southwestern women’s basketball team get this far. Fans packed into the stands to show their unwavering support as the Southwestern Jaguars took on the MiraCosta Spartans, marking the end of a gruelingly tough season. Despite the challenging season the players showcased determination and spirit till the very end. “When we go back to last year’s team, this was a program, a team that participated in the California state playoffs and due to departures, attrition...the roster for the 2023-2024 season was quite frankly, depleted," said Ron Valenzuela, Southwestern College Athletic Director. Valenzuela says the team was in desperate need of players at the start of the season, so he and others in the program immediately got to work to try to find other school athletes that could pick up basketball.
