So we had a non-conference home and away series with SDSU for three years in the middle of the conference season, and only twice since?  Last one looks like it might have been in the tourney.

Those games in the 80s were in our league, I think.  It appears there was a special league for women's athletics, something called the WCAA.  That seemed to include the California Pac-8 schools, and several of the southern California CSUs.  All just barely pre-Tara.  For one year the WCAA was replaced with something called the Pac-West--which was Tara's first year, and that is the year we stopped playing SDSU.  Then in 86-87 we started Pac-10 league play.  My guess is that the Pac-10 schools did not all have women's teams until then, or if they did they had limited travel budgets and were trying to stay in state.

The 2009 game was in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament, played in San Diego at San Diego State (we beat UC Santa Barbara in the 1st round there). Can't remember why we had to play the 1st and 2nd round away from Maples, but it clearly wasn't during brief period when the NCAA moved the games to away sites for those rounds because we were playing on San Diego State's home court. As I recall, Nneka had a fantastic game, and after that game, we got lost finding our car in the campus parking garage.
