We round out our May spotlights with your 2022-23 Sports Director, Cameron Kurland:

Wow. What a run it’s been here at KCSB. Growing up, I always had a passion and love for all things sports, but never would I have expected to see a dream come reality. Just a few weeks away from graduation, I’m just so thankful for each and every person who has truly made each step of the way special. I still remember my first meeting, sports spot, and live broadcast like it happened yesterday. I could go on for hours about all the laughs, debates, and great times I’ve had with such a special group of people. From magical moments at the Thunderdome, to traveling across the country to cover teams we see everyday. I’m so grateful for the opportunity that this station has provided me to be myself, and I’ll always look back on this experience so fondly.

Just a week left of May! We continue our reporter spotlights with Wendy Matias:

Hi everyone! My name’s Wendy I’m a 4th year FAMST major at UCSB hoping to go into sports producing in the future. I joined KCSB winter this year and to say it’s been a blast is an understatement. I have made some amazing friends and been able to develop my professional skills with a few broadcasts and researching teams as well as the Gaucho Sports Spot. My favorite memory has to be broadcasting with Quinton and Crystal since we were able to have so much fun on air together. I’m looking forward to seeing what else happens in the future with my journey in media and with KCSB.

05/19/2023

Happy Friday everyone! Our next reporter spotlight: Carson Mercier:

What’s up everyone my name is Carson Mercier I am a first year Communications major at SBCC. This was my second year (ish) working with KCSB and it produced some of my favorite all time memories. It’s hard to say anything tops following the Mens and Womens Basketball teams to Henderson, Nevada and the Mens team to Denver for the first round of the NCAA March Madness tournament but if I had to choose my favorite moment from the year it would be when the Womens team played UCLA in the TDome. The first half was electric and an atmosphere I’ll never forget.

05/15/2023

We’re gonna keep it rolling with reporter spotlights. Next up, the one and only Vincent Vanterpool:

Sup my names Vince I’m a 3rd pre-comm major and I’ve been in KCSB Sports for about 9 months and it’s provided me with some of the funnest moments of my life. I’ve made lifelong friends, traveled the nation, and worked on becoming a better commentator and leader all while watching my favorite sports. It’s been a great rookie season and as I look to return next year I hope however reads this joins us as we look to keep on making timeless memories covering the sports we love here at UCSB.
💙💛

With our next reporter spotlight, we have Makayla Wilson!

Hi everyone! My name is Makayla Wilson and I am a first year pre-communications major. I love all things sports and I can’t imagine a life without it as I aspire to be a sideline sportscaster for Friday night football games! KCSB has allowed me to grow and enjoy the sports industry even more. My favorite sport to broadcast has to definitely be the women’s volleyball team! They are a force to be reckoned with and I can’t wait till next season! Hopefully we can get some interviews next year as well👀🤭

05/08/2023

Now to our next reporter spotlight, Anthony Gil:

Hey Gauchos! My name is Anthony Gil and I’m a third-year Communication major and Professional Writing minor at UC Santa Barbara. I’m from Torrance, CA (Los Angeles County) where I spent two years at El Camino College before transferring to UC Santa Barbara in the Fall of 2022. Outside of broadcasting for KCSB Sports, I’m also a writer in the sports department of the Daily Nexus. My favorite broadcast moment has to be watching the men’s basketball team completely obliterate the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors to secure the Big West title and hearing HC Joe Pasternack take over the mic and celebrating the win with his team and amazing fans!

One heck of a night at the Thunderdome, as @ucsbmbb takes down @hawaiibasketball 67-60, and on top of that, clinches a top-6 seed in the Big West Tournament. It was a back-and-forth battle, but thanks to key contributions from the entire roster (special mentions to @rf.skipp and @s.amadou21), the Gauchos get it done and have now won 8 of their last 9. Next stop: Henderson, NV 👀

White out at the Thunderdome tonight! @ucsbmbb hosts @hawaiibasketball for the final game of the regular season before heading into the Big West Tournament. They’ll also honor the careers of five wonderful seniors, and with a win on their home floor, they are one step closer to the ultimate goal of reaching March Madness. Go Chos!

Last week in the Thunderdome! Tonight, @ucsbmbb will go for the sweep in the season series with @csunmbb and look to make it 7 wins in their last 8 games. Coming off a pair of overtime wins on the road last week, one player who particularly stepped up was @thatboyjay_3, earning him Big West Player of the Week. First 200 students get a gift card for a medium Domino’s pizza. See you there!
