TORERO STADIUM -THE HOME OF SAN DIEGO SOCCER-
Torero Stadium, home to USD soccer and football, also served home to the San Diego Spirit of the former Women's United Soccer Association for three seasons. With that, the Torero Stadium received numerous up grades that make it one of the best facilities of its size on the west coast. New seating behind the east end zone, as well as on the south side of the field, expands the stadium seating capacity to 7,000 seats. Torero Stadium also received a new grass turf, new lighting and sound system, and additional press box space. A little over a year ago the field was widened by 7 yards; it is now 72 yards wide for soccer.
Torero Stadium has also been the host site for numerous men's and women's NCAA Postseason Tourna ments.

FouR YEARS IN A Row, ToRERos ADVANCE INTO NCAA's
by Amanda Piechowski
As the University of San Diego women's soccer team entered the 2002 season, the prognostications had the Toreros finish ing in the bottom half of the league and most likely missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three seasons. Although San Diego returned 13 letter-winners and wel comed six newcomers, they entered the year without seven graduated seniors, including record-setting goalkeeper Leila Duren, team captains Gina Poltl and Claire Currie, and of fensive threats Stephanie Barnier and Casey Loveland. They also faced a difficult game schedule, with matches against "" ~/ ....~ .. JI'" powerhouses Arizona State and USC, defending national ✓J champions Santa Clara, and top-ranked UCLA. With all fac I tors considered the critics picked the Toreros to finish fifth in the West Coast Conference, when, in fact, they had not placed lower than fourth since 1994. Sixth-year head coach John Cossaboon welcomed the chal lenge, commenting before the season began, "Those are hard games to begin with. Add the road contests, and yes it be comes more difficult, but those are challenges we need to step up to and overcome."
MF Brooke Roby ranked third in the wee in assists as a sophomore in 2002 2002 USD Soccer: (11-7-3; 3-3-1 WCC)
NCAA Appearances: And step up they certainly did. After a tough loss to 2002 NCAA First Round (4th Straight NCAA Bid) UCLA in their season opener, the Toreros bounced Hall of Champions Star of the Month: back to win six of ten games in September and posted Broke Roby - November a record of 11-7-3 at season's end.

The "inexperienced" Marie Claude-Henry-Honorable Mention newcomers proved to be some of the Toreros most Val Strocco - Honorable Mention valued assets, as shown by freshman forward Le Ann Klopschinski who scored in six straight games in non-conference play. The returning players showed their strength and experience as well, with sophomore midfielder Brooke Roby leading the squad with four goals in conference play. The culmination of the 2002 season resulted in the Toreros' fourth straight NCAA appearance. The women traveled to USC's McAllister Field for a much-anticipated rematch; the Toreros played the Women of Troy to a

scoreless tie earlier in the year. This time, however, USC would defeat the Toreros 1-0 in overtime. Four Torero women received West Coast Conference ac colades. Brooke Roby and junior defender Cristina Romero were both selected to the WCC All-Conference Second Team, with junior and senior midfielders Marie Claude-Henry and Val Strocco receiving Honorable Men tions. The Toreros flourished in a season that was thought by many to be a potential flounder. In the face of adversity, the team stepped up to the challenges before them. With this kind of determination and resolve, 2003 should prove to be just as successful.
