South Coast Conference produces large university transfer list
PASADENA - The South Coast Conference, consisting of 12 member California Community Colleges, sent a large number of currently 168 student-athletes to 4-year universities as part of their 2019-2020 graduating class. The list could continue to grow in the next month with those numbers updated here on this release.
The student-athletes listed are only from the SCC-sponsored sports: soccer, cross country, women's indoor/beach volleyball, water polo, basketball, baseball, softball, swimming and diving, women's tennis, and women's badminton. Football, men's volleyball, golf, and wrestling are sports not sponsored through the SCC.
It should be noted that because Spring sports participant sophomores who had their seasons cut short due to the COVID-19 health crisis were granted their year of eligibility back by the CCCAA, many would-be transfers are instead remaining at their respective community colleges in order to play their sophomore seasons in 2021.
Here is a sport-by-sport listing of the SCC athletes who earned scholarships to play and continue their education at the next level:
