SEASIDE, Calif. — We begin our search for the most memorable moment of 2014–15 CSUMB Athletics Year in the fall, when seven Otters earned All–CCAA recognition in addition to several other notable accomplishments. Records broken, thrilling upsets and a well–deserved moment in the national spotlight highlight the most memorable moments for the fall for you to consider in our Memorable Moments countdown.
As a reminder, Otter fall sports include: M/W Cross Country, M/W Soccer and Volleyball. Note that, while the golf teams do compete in the fall as well as the spring, for purposes of this countdown, all golf achievements are counted in the spring.
Without further ado, here are the top moments from the Fall 2014 seasons for your consideration…
