Carson, CA -- Making return appearances to the South Bay Athletic Club, CSUDH Athletics Director Patrick Guillen and men’s and women’s soccer head coach Joe Flanagan were the guest speakers at last Friday’s South Bay Athletic Club luncheon, a weekly forum comprised of professionals and sports buffs from the south bay and surrounding areas.

Reflecting on the progress CSUDH Athletics has made over the past year, Guillen was introduced by longtime Daily Breeze columnist Mike Waldner, and spoke about the Toros’ great involvement in the community, the athletics department’s dedicated and committed staff and its innovative programs designed to help fund student-athlete scholarships.

Waldner then passed the microphone to Flanagan, who shared a few anecdotes about the direction of the soccer program, the 7th CCAA Championship won by the men’s team last October, and the upcoming women’s season which will feature 11 seniors playing their final season in Cardinal & Gold, including five from the south bay and neighboring areas.

The SBAC, currently in its 42nd year, holds its luncheons at the South Bay Grill in Torrance, where moderator Fred Petersen undertakes master of ceremony duties after lunch is served to its members and their guests of honor.
