Yasukochi comes to CSUSM from UC San Diego, where she spent the last seven seasons as the Tritons' assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. In that time, she helped UCSD to two NCAA Tournament appearances, two Big West Tournament Championships and one CCAA Tournament Championship.
No stranger to the CCAA, Yasukochi spent three seasons as an assistant at Cal State East Bay from 2016-19 and helped the Pioneers win the CCAA Tournament in her first season. Before stopping in Hayward, she was an assistant at the University of San Francisco from 2014-16 and helped lead USF to the 2015-16 WCC Tournament Championship and its first NCAA Tournament in 20 years. Prior to USF, Yasukochi spent three seasons as video coordinator and director of basketball operations at UC Davis.
A native of Oceanside, Yasukochi played her prep years at The Bishop's School in La Jolla and went on to play her collegiate career at Occidental College under current Tritons head coach Heidi VanDerveer.
