Tritoncast

In episode four of Tritoncast, Jenny and Jeff are joined by women's soccer alumna Itzel González '16. She tells us about pausing her career in construction engineering to go play for Tijuana in the new Mexican women's professional league. Hard work and dedication have since given her the opportunity to earn a call-up to the national team. What has that experience been like? How does she use her engineering background to give her an advantage on the pitch? Find out in this week's conversation with Itzel González on Tritoncast!

ESPN broadcaster Steve Quis joins Jeff and Jenny for episode three of Tritoncast. A long time member of the San Diego sportscasting community, Quis takes us on his career journey and how he arrived in San Diego, began working for ESPN on national telecasts, and how he became the voice of the Tritons' men's and women's basketball programs. Quis also tells listeners about his time as a Minor League Baseball mascot and how he parlayed that into free dinners all over town.
