On Oct. 23, many San Diego State University students dressed up in costumes and made their way down College Ave. Given the fact that it was a Thursday night, people driving by probably thought there was just another Halloween party happening. However, these students weren’t on their way to any other Halloween party, they were heading to SoundWave’s Halloween house show.

The group performed a handful of Halloween-themed vocal covers, filling the cozy, backyard atmosphere with harmony.

Stephen Strasburg returns to the university and baseball program that mean the most to him in an effort to return them to their former glory. As a special assistant to the head coach, Strasburg intends to work with new head coach Kevin Vance and his staff to develop players both on and off the field.

His successful collegiate and professional baseball careers have equipped Strasburg well to spearhead the reformation of Aztec baseball. The skills and values he learned from Tony Gwynn are things that Strasburg holds near and dear to his heart, and he wants to pass them down to the Aztecs of the present and future.

Also, Strasburg wants to unite the SDSU community and alumni to build a tight-knit culture around the baseball program. He reflected fondly on Tony Gwynn Stadium’s atmosphere when he was an Aztec, calling it “electric.” Strasburg wants his alma mater’s home stadium and program to return to what they once were.

Students walking in these areas at night must do so with low visibility, which has raised safety concerns, according to the Associated Students Board of Directors.

SDSU’s External Relations Board of Associated Students addressed safety issues, including increased susceptibility to trips and falls, vehicular collisions and physical injury or assault, in a letter to the San Diego City Council.

Sean Newman Jr., Jeremiah Oden and Latrell Davis all join the San Diego State Aztecs this season from non–Power Four programs. Despite that, Coach Brian Dutcher believes these three transfers will be impact players.

In the past, Coach Dutcher has transformed overlooked transfers into key contributors. While the Aztecs have found recent success in both the regular season and postseason, it hasn’t been because of four- or five-star recruits — it’s been thanks to Coach Dutcher and his staff welcoming new players and turning them into dynamic athletes.

Oden and Davis bring valuable Mountain West experience, while Newman Jr. adds a knack for playmaking and getting teammates involved. All three are seasoned college athletes ready to make a splash for their new team in the months ahead.

As fall ball ramps up for SDSU women’s lacrosse, sophomore midfielder Presley Mitchell opens up about how she turns to surfing to escape the pressures of being a student-athlete. What started as a childhood hobby has become her sanctuary.

Mitchell reflects on her transition from high school senior to Division I athlete, describing how balancing early mornings, travel, and academics pushed her to find new ways to care for her mental health. She shares that surfing has been the key to finding balance.

Sloane Benshoof, senior teammate and longtime friend, shares how surfing has also been her outlet. Both Encinitas natives grew up on the coast, where surfing has always been part of their lives. Surfing has taught them that mental health is just as important as physical performance.

Erubey Robles initially disliked the taste of matcha, due to its pungent taste and earthy tones.

Four pop-up events and countless beverages later, he developed an acquired taste for not only matcha, but business ownership as well.

While at SDSU, he initially planned to pursue law, but shortly before graduating, he decided this career pathway was not something he wanted for himself.

“I was a little hesitant because [starting a business] is a big thing,” Erubey said. “It is a very saturated market … but I’m glad we took that leap of faith.”
