This Week in San José State Athletics is here to catch you up on last week's action and see what's ahead for the Spartans!
Please note - In accordance with the SJSU Adapt Plan that restricts visitors to campus facilities, the San José State University Athletics Department will continue the policy of no fans at home sporting events for the remainder of the 2021 spring semester.
