USD Women's Basketball 1991

WEST COAST CONFERENCE The West Coast Conference is six years old th is season, at least in terms of sponsoring women 's athletics. The WCC got is start in 1952 as a men's basketball alignment made up of five Bay Area schools. Now, 38 years later, the confe rence spans the Pacific states from the borders of Canada to Mexico with eight members in three states. The wee executive committee approved the women 's league to start in 1984, though it has changed slightly since its inception. At its outset, the women 's conference was technically called the "The West Coast Athletic Conference for Women " and had five members from the men's side of the league with dual membership- Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, San Diego, San ' Francisco and Santa Clara. Associate members Nevada-Reno and United States International filled out the seven-team field. The league existed in that form for two years with USIU winning the first women 's basketball championship in 1986 with an 11-1 league record . In 1987, the women moved to align themselves with the men's league. Gonzaga, Portland and Saint Mary's replaced USIU and UNR. Gonzaga wasn't intimidated by it all, edging fellow newcomer Portland for the championship . In its five previous seasons , four schools have held the basketball crown: 1986-U. S. International (11 ~1), 1987-San Franci sco (10-2), 1988-Gonzaga (11-3), 1989-Saint Mary's (12-2), 1990-Saint Mary's (12-2) The West Coast Conference offers collegiate competition in the following women's sports: basketball, cross country, tennis and volleyball.
