Tony Lo: excelling on and off the field
Tony Lo is not your average student-athlete. Lo, a bio pre-med senior and a midfielder on the CSUSB Coyotes men’s soccer team, is a Sydney, Australia native who was awarded the prestigious NCAA Ethnic Minority and Women’s Enhancement Graduate Scholarship in April.
“Ever since I’ve been here, it’s been very fulfilling,” said Lo, who is also involved in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. “Sports have created this foundation where I put 110 percent of effort in the field as well as the classroom.”
Lo finished his soccer career as a two-time All-CCAA midfielder and a multiple academic honoree for head coach Darren Leslie’s program. He finished second on the team in goals in 2017 and completed his four-year career with 14 goals.
To Lo, CSUSB is “full of opportunities.”
“If you work hard here and put your mind to anything,” he said, “I think you can achieve and go anywhere you want.”
