THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO The University of San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of higher education. Founded in 1949, USD is located on 180 acres overlooking Mis­ sion Bay, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alcala Park and is located just 10 minutes from downtown San Diego and the world famous San Diego Zoo. Historic Old Town is just minutes away as well. The city of San Diego along with this campus traces its origin to fifteenth century Spain. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid - Alcala de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Christians recaptured the village centuries later and founded a university, the University of Alcala, whose buildings became the inspiration for USD's style. Both institutions are lo­ cated on a hill overlooking a river valley. THE CAMPUS The USD campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring 34 major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Renaissance style. Since 1999, USD has added more than 600,000 square feet of building space through numerous major construction and expansion projects. In 2000 the Jenny Craig Pavilion, a 5,100-seat athletic center, opened its doors as home to USD volleyball and basketball. In the fall of 2001, the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice opened on the west end of campus, and a new Science and Technology Center recently opened for the 2003-04 academic year. Manchester Village, a 101-unit apartment complex, opened its doors on the east end of campus in 2002. Most recently, the Degheri Alumni Center, a 28,000 square-foot three-story building located near the main campus entrance, had its grand opening in May 2004. ACADEMICS USD enrolls more than 7,200 students who have a choice of more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university's academic units include the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business Administra­ tion, Education, Law, Nursing and Peace Studies. Class size generally averages between 15-25 students with the student to teacher ratio being 14:1. Over 97 percent of USD's full-time faculty hold doctorates. In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and universities, published by U.S. News & World Report, USD moved from the regional to national category in 1994. The university now ranks among the top 100 schools in the nation. STUDENT LIFE Student activities include cultural events, dances, boat cruises, beach parties, BBQ's, concerts, comedy nights, symposia and much more. Students participate in a wide range of volunteer projects such as adult literacy tutoring, senior citizen out­ reach, and house building in Tijuana. The intramural program is also an integral part of student life on campus with more than two-thirds of the USD community partaking in intramural sports. ATHLETICS The University of San Diego is a member of the West Coast Con­ ference for nearly all sports and competes in 16 intercollegiate sports on the NCAA Division I level. The football team just completed its 11th season in the Pioneer Football League. Women's sports include: basketball, cross country, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. Men's sports include: baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, foot­ ball, rowing, soccer and tennis. Since 1988, USD has had one national champion, one national team finalist, 17 conference team championships, 24 Conference Players of the Year, 32 Academic All-Americans, 33 Conference Coaches of the Year, 41 NCAA post­ season appearances, four West Coast Conference Scholar Athletes of the Year and 35 All­ America selections.

USDSOCCER: A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

Head Coach Ada Greenwood enters his second season at the helm of the USD women's soccer program. His 2004 Toreros are poised t o carry on a tradition of excellence that has produced six straight winning sea­ sons and fi ve consecutive invitations to the NCAA Coll ege Cup Tourna­ ment. Since joining the USD staff, first as an assistant in 1998 and later assuming the head coaching role a year ago, Greenwood has been es­ sential in guiding the Toreros to a six-year overall record of 69-38-9.

Greenwood and assistants Lucas Curtolo and Theresa Wagner must find a way to replace seven gradua ted seniors, including a ttacker Brenna Mullen (18 career goals) and starting goalkeeper Libby Bassett (14 career shutouts). A proven core of returning starters promise to have San Diego competing at a high level when the season begins at UCLA on August 27th_

San Diego has seven returning s tarters and a total of 13 returning letter winners. Marie-Claude Henry, Brooke Roby, Kaitlyn Pruett, and Andrea Keesling highlight an accomplished senior class, with all four San Diego is part Qf an elite group of collegiate prog ra1:.1s that has All-WCC honors during their respective USD careers.

Pruett, who was an All-Pac-10 player at USC earlier in her collegiate career, was named San Diego's 'Defensive MVP' last season.

The Torero offense also returns its MVP from a year ago. Senior Marie­ Claude Henry put a team-high 15 shots on goal as a junior, and was recognized as an All-WCC performer for her efforts in leading the Toreros into the N CAA Tournament. Classmate Brooke Roby has proven t o be one of the best midfielders in the conference, having produced 31 career points as a three-year Torero starter.

Despite missing significant time due to injury in '03, Rowe netted six goals last season, which was tied for the team lead .

A pair of sophom ore defenders, Brittany Young and Joslyn Williams, both started as true freshman. Young was awarded USD's 'Rookie of the Year' honors after starting in all of USD's 21 contests.

USD MAKES 5TH CONSECUTIVE POSTSEASON TOURNAMENT

by Amanda Piechowski

A new era began for the San Diego women's soccer program in 2003 when Ada Greenwood was elevated to th e school's head coach after serving as USD's top assistant for the past five seasons. Assuming com­ mand of program rich in soccer tradition, Greenwood and his Toreros conquered one of the nation's most challenging schedules, reaching the NCAA College Cup Tournament for a school record fifth consecutive season.

San Diego started the 2003 campaign by dominating its first five oppo­ nents defensively, shutting out Long Beach State, UNLV, Northern Ari­ zona, Vanderbilt and Oregon State. As the season progressed, so did the Toreros. USO defeated a pair of nationally ranked teams in the form of 20th-ranked Loyola Marymount and 12th-ranked Arizona State.

The most pivotal moment of the year came with just two minutes re­ maining in the regular season. Trailing by a goal in the waning moments against the defending national champions and third ranked Pilots of Port­ land, Torero senior Brenna Mullen scored her team-leading sixth goal allowing San Diego a 2-2 tie.

The primary objective is to offer the necessary resources for the academic success of student-athletes as they work to earn their degree. Academic Support services are designed to enhance the s tudent-athlete's overall collegiate experience and encourage development and attainment of academic and career goals. The University of San Diego's Academic Support efforts are led by Shaney Fink who is in her fifth year as USD's Assistant AD for Academic and Student Services. Fink was a standout volleyball player in the 90's, and in 1999 she was on the Volleyball coaching staff as an assistant, helping the Toreros to a 23-6 record and a second round finish in the NCAA Tournament.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

San Diego is truly "America's Finest City." A modern metropolis (second largest in California) and a popular year-round resort, San Diego spreads from the coast to the desert, including cliffs, mesas, hills, canyons and valleys. San Diego also surrounds one of California's greatest natural harbors, which has been a dominant fac tor in determining the city's history, economy and development.

Meteorologists claim San Diego as the country's onl y area with perfect climate. This ideal year-round environment posts an average daytime temperature of 70 degrees, with an a1mual rainfall average of less than 10 inches. Most days are sunny, with humidity generally low, even in the summer. The climate, attractive setting and recreational facilities make San Diego "America's Finest City."

According to Sports Illustrated, "For sheer numbers of participants, diversity of pursuits of involvement, San Diego must rank as the sports fitness capital of the U.S." Sports are a major feature of the San Diego lifestyle. One can sail, swim,

surf, scuba dive, snorkel, wind-surf on 70 miles of pub­ lic beach or golf at any of the over 80 golf courses throughout the county. Balboa Park, a 1, 158-acre recreation and cultural center, offers 25 tennis courts, two gymnasiums, two municipal golf courses, and one of the nation's finest zoos. Mission Bay Park is a 4,600-acre playground for jogging, fishing, bicycling, tennis, golf, jet skiing and kite flying.

As well as participating in recreational activities, San Diego supports its professional teams - the NFL Charg­ ers and the National League Padres play at Qualcomm Stadium. During college football bowl week, San Di­ ego annually hosts the Holiday Bowl. During 1998, Qualcomm Stadium hosted the Super Bowl game be­ tween Denver and Green Bay, and the World Series between San Diego and New York Yankees. Whatever sporting activity there is, it's here in San Diego - the sports capital of the U.S.A.
