August, 2026 News

There is a saying in the world of finance: past success does not ensure future results. So while the the College of San Mateo football team has won three of the last four state championships and the last two in a row, Bulldogs head coach Tim Tulloch knows that doesn’t mean a whole lot going into Saturday’s 2026 season opener at College of Sequoias in Visalia.

CSM, the two-time defending state champ, starts 2026 on the road Saturday when the Bulldogs travel to Visalia to take on College of the Sequoias. This will be the first meeting between the Bulldogs and Giants since a 49-21 CSM win in 2023.

College of San Mateo has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading community colleges, ranking No. 15 nationally and No. 3 in California in WalletHub’s 2026 Best & Worst Community Colleges study.

As the 2026–27 academic year begins, College of San Mateo is expanding academic pathways, welcoming new faculty, and building on some of its strongest student success indicators in five years.

College of San Mateo coach Katie Goldhahn tapped into Sequoia volleyball’s 2025 playoff magic quite by chance. Among the seven incoming freshmen on roster for CSM volleyball’s upcoming season, none bring more recent postseason hardware than attacker Katalina Tuipulotu and defensive specialist Joslin Fiel. The duo moves to the Hilltop after last season, when they teamed during Sequoia’s CIF Northern California Division III title run.
