Sonoma State was a part of the California Collegiate Athletic Association which is the same athletic conference as Cal Poly Pomona. Jack Chapman and Kaden Young are two student-athletes who transferred from Sonoma State. Chapman transferred to play for the men’s soccer team and Young transferred to join the women’s volleyball team. For Young, the closure of the athletics program was hurtful as she invested so much of her time at Sonoma State. “I already knew the level of competition and the type of program CPP had,” Young said.
