The 2006 Lions: COMING OF AGE

LMU volleyball returns five starters plus its libero. And Lion fans return with hope for a fourth straight NCAA postseason run.

2 LMU allgrownup The Lions return a strong core of veterans, including Christianna Reneau, Jania Motton, and captains Sandy Krone and Heather Hughes. The freshman incoming class is highlighted by a pair of standouts in Megan Nash and Becky Stehling. Nash joins the Lions after a high school career at Notre Dame Academy, while Becky Stehling hails from Austin, Texas and Bowie High School.

Nash is a 6-0 middle blocker/outside hitter who earned All-CIF and All- Sunshine League honors each of her four seasons, including selections to the first-teams the last three years. She was named CIF Division III Player of the Year after leading her team to the CIF Division 3A cham- pionship in 2005.

"Megan is a great all-around volleyball player who has a lot of experi- ence, both indoors and on the beach," Stratos said. "She has the abil- ity to play any one of three positions at the net, including outside hit- ter, middle blocker, and opposite. Megan also possesses advanced ball- control skills and could very well develop into a primary serve-receive passer."

Stehling was a three-time first-team all-district and all-conference selection after starting on her varsity team all four seasons. The 6-1 middle blocker was also a two-time All-Centex team selection.

"Becky is a very gifted natural athete," Stratos said. "She is a quick jumper and has an impressive vertical jump. Becky is a pure middle blocker who has the speed to close the block and the explosiveness to become a major offensive threat. She has already developed a variety of attacks which makes it difficult for opponents to defend her."

Morgan Kelly and Tina Moger join the newcomer class after standout high school careers of their own. Kelly was a three-time All-Pioneer League selection and team MVP while at Palos Verdes High School. Moger was named Kauai Interscholastic Federation Player of the Year as a sophomore at Kauai High School.

The 2006 LMU Lineup

The five newcomers join a program that returns five starters plus the libero, losing just two starters to graduation. Though the 2006 Lions were picked to finish fifth in WCC play, Stratos feels the versatility of this year’s players allows the coaches to put the best six players on the floor at one time, and that could mean exciting things for Lion fans.

Middle Blocker

Krone is among the most notable middle blockers on the Lions’ roster, after a strong spring season at the position. That will most likely be the co-captain’s role, although she has shown the coaching staff that she can also play other positions.

Returners Jania Motton, Erin Downey, and Lindsay Banas will likely also see time in the middle this season. When healthy, Motton has had an impact for the Lions in the past, as her play last season earned her a spot on the 2005 Sacramento State All-Tournament team. She leads the returning blockers, averaging .79 blocks per game in 2005.

Downey also stepped up when called upon in 2005, recording season- highs 16 kills and seven blocks in back-to-back matches.

Newcomers Nash and Stehling will also offer their talents at the mid- dle blocker position.

Setter

Lion fans will enjoy the battle on the court for the starting setter job, because no matter what Stratos and his staff decide, they cannot go backformore SANDY KRONE The Lions’ co-captain gives the coaching staff lots of lineup options with her ability to play three positions. wrong. Dutro offers new possibilities after running the offense at con- ference champion UC Santa Barbara last season. But coaches and fans won’t forget the contributions of returning starter sophomore K.C. Walsh, who tallied 995 assists and six double-doubles last season.

While Dutro and Walsh will likely share the majority of the setting duties, Hughes and senior Cat Svorinich may each have turns at the helm of the offense as well. Hughes shared the job with Walsh last sea- son and became the only WCC player to record a statistical triple-dou- ble in 2005, doing it five times. Svorinich saw some time at the posi- tion in the spring and her setting skills caught the attention of the coaching staff.

Outside Hitter

Familiar faces return to the Lions this year at outside hitter. Led by WCC All-Freshman selection Emily Day and Christianna Reneau, the returners give the coaches many strong options outside. Day recorded double-digit kills in 14 of LMU’s final 17 matches. Reneau reached the double-digit kill mark in 20 of 30 matches while leading the Lions in serving percentage (.961).

Other options outside include newcomers Kelly and Nash, and return- ers Downey, Krone, and Motton.

Opposite

Hughes, who shared the setting duties last season with Walsh, will likely return to her full-time role at opposite this season. The first-team all-conference selection is a spark-plug for the Lions, and brings her all- around game to the court for LMU.

Krone, while projected to see most of her time in the middle, also gives the coaches options at opposite.

Defensive Specialist

Lauren Kirk enters the season as the favorite for the libero starting job, after earning the job at the end of her rookie campaign in 2005. She tallied double-digit digs in six matches, including LMU’s final four matches of the regular season.

Another strong option in the backcourt is the senior Svorinich, who brings strong serving skills to the court along with her defensive play.

Returner Kiera Reilly, along with newcomers Moger and Kelly, will also likely see time as defensive specialists for the Lions.

2006 Schedule

Lion fans always see a high-octane schedule for LMU volleyball, and this year will be no different. The Lions will play seven matches against teams ranked in the 2006 AVCA Preseason Top-25 poll. Six of these seven matches will come during WCC play, as the Lions play in one of the top volleyball conferences in the nation. For three straight seasons, at least half of the WCC programs qualified for the NCAA postseason. In 2003 and 2005, the WCC sent five of eight teams to the NCAAs.

“Every year, we attempt to play a high-powered schedule and once again, we feel we’ve accomplished this with our 2006 schedule,” Stratos said. “Beginning with our two tournaments at home and con- tinuing with our competitive conference schedule, fans will experience the best of Division I college volleyball.”

More than 1,000 people were involved with the staging of the event which attract- ed the largest number of weightlifting competitors in the history of the Olympics. More than two million people were brought into the Pavilion through television, radio, newspapers and wire services that attended the competition. Prior to the Olympics, Gersten was the site of the McDonald’s Gymnastics Classic in 1983, featuring the best male and female gymnasts from the United States and the former Soviet Union. In 1991, the Pavilion was the venue for the men’s and women’s volleyball and boxing prelimi- naries at the U.S. Olympic Festival. It has been host to top basketball camps in the country, hosting LMU alumnus Pete Newell and his Big Man’s Camp for NBA players. It has served as one of the official practice homes of the L.A. Lakers and L.A. Clippers, and continues to welcome visiting NBA franchises. The Pavilion also hosted Kiki Vandeweghe’s Individual Instruction Camp with some of the best in the NBA participating. Gersten Pavilion was named in honor of Albert Gersten, father of LMU regent Albert Gersten, Jr., a 1974 LMU graduate. The Gersten fami- ly was the largest single donor to the construction project.

Whatever the religious belief, the university pays attention to individual spirit. “I’ve thought a lot about what makes my friends at college different than those from high school, and I’ve realized that the people at LMU live up to the mission of being men and women for others,” said a sophomore. Students are free to examine faith in social or service activities.

IT’S WHERE YOU LIVE Every fall, nine out of 10 first-year students take advantage of LMU housing and for some very good reasons. Some of the benefits of LMU liv- ing are simple: an active social scene, meal plans that allow students to dine at various campus locations, and easy access to classes and campus facilities. But university housing offers much more than simple convenience, it also give students an edge. As a resident, stu- dents are immediately plugged into programs that help them achieve better grades, meet new friends, develop professional contacts and grad- uate in a timely manner.

IT’S WHERE YOU’RE BOUND “We’re trying to get rid of you,” so professor Kelly Younger, who directs the Honors Program, likes to tell LMU students. He’s referring to the study abroad opportunities, scholarships, internships, academic conferences and compe- titions that take students off campus and into the world. When it comes time to graduate, students will have the knowledge, the confi- dence, and the strength of spirit to achieve any- thing the students can imagine. 2006 LMU thecolleges

VIEW TO A PROMISING FUTURE

The Chronicle of Higher Education notes that at Jesuit institutions, this precept “translates into a large amount of individual attention from faculty members and accessibility to high-level administrators, including the president.” At LMU, students don’t simply benefit from cura personalis; they practice it, too, carry- ing out the Jesuit ideal of “men and women for others.” The Marymount sisters contribute a history of educating women and teaching through the arts, with a deliberately international perspective that encourages respect for all cultures. LMU brings these gifts together in five colleges: Business Administration, Communications and Fine Arts, Film and Television, Liberal Arts, and Science and Engineering.

• At LMU, real-world experiences benefits any discipline-even literature. Students in the BELLARMINE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS don’t just read Jack Kerouac. They go on the road.

After reading Nathanael West’s The Day of Locust, we take a walking tour of downtown L.A., focusing on the architecture of the 1920s and 30s.
