With a donation of 7 million by Sid and Jenny Craig, the University of San Diego received the lead gift necessary to proceed with planning i much needed $17.S million Sports/Activiti Center. The Jenny Craig Pavilion will be home to the USD volley ball, women's basketball and men's basketball teams. The pavilion was officially opened and dedicated on October s, 2000. The Jenny Craig Pavilion, which is located at the eastern end of campus between Torero Stadium and Cunningham Baseball Field, will include a S, 100- seat gymnasium, a 3,800 square-foot fitness center, coaches offices and athletic training facilities, show ers and locker rooms, concession stand, and reception room. The Monsignor I.B. Eagen Plaza off the Pavil ion entry, will take advantage of the view across cam pus to the ocean. The USD Pagne Athletic Hall of Fame will also be housed in the facility. "The Jenny Craig Pavilion makes a statement to the athletic commu nity and to the community at large about the quality of our athletic programs and their importance within the university," stated Tom Iannacone, USD Di rector of Athletics. "The pavilion is a championship venue for men's and women's basketball and volleyball, and has already begun to improve recruit ing and attract higher quality opponents. In addition, it is an excellent venue for television. These things will help to increase the competitiveness of all our programs." The pavilion seats twice the number of fans as the university's old Sports Center. Unlike basketball venues that have the scoreboard suspended over the center of the court, forcing some spectators to crane their necks to check the score, the Jenny Craig Pavilion was designed with large scoreboards and video screens on the north and south walls, and smaller scoreboards on the east and west sides. Other benefits the administration and coaches anticipate are the op portunity to attract television coverage of games, host concerts, USD tourna ments and special games such as the Torero Tip-Off, held the last few years at the San Diego Sports Arena. The pavilion already has garnered major atten Jenny Craig wltll tlle 2000-2001 tion from around the region, as West Coast Conference officials selected USD Women~ Basketball Team. as the site of 200 l WCC Tournament, to be held March 1-5 for all eight women's and men's WCC teams.

With two West Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors and 329 career victories, Marpe is known as the " Dean" of the West Coast Conference. Her 300th career win came over Portland State in the 1998-99 season. Coach Marpe is only three WCC wins away from earning her I 00th victory in the West Coast Conference. Good Byes to USO Greats Tne USO basketball program said good bye to four important seniors last year. The Toreros lost four-year letterwinner Andrea Burns.

Gray and Erpelding are currently playing professional basketball overseas. West Coast Conference The WCC is being nationally recognized in women's basketball. For the second straight year, West Coast Conference women's basketball improved its national RPI. The conference moved up two spots in the rankings, from # 12 in 1999 to # IO at the end of the 2000 season. This comes after advancing four teams into postseason play for only the third time in league history. Last season, San Diego and Pepperdine appeared in the first round of the NCAA Tournament while Santa Clara and Saint Mary's each played in the WNIT. The Saint Mary's Gaels defeated Hawaii in the first round of the WNIT Tournament, the WCC's first post season victory since 1996. Another achi evement made last year in the WCC was three teams winning 20 or more games, the third straight year that benchmark has been reached. The West Coast Conference looks to be strong again in the 2000-200 I season, USO will host the WCC Tournament at the Jenny Craig Pavilion, March 1-4. New Look at USO The University of San Diego athletic department has been busy this past year. This year, USO has unvei led a new Torero logo and built the new Jenny Craig Pavil ion. The University of San Diego wil l r emain the Toreros, but the logo has a new look. The new Jenny Craig Pavilion opened in October, 2000 and wi ll be home to the USO women's vol leyball team, I women's basketball team and men's basketball team. The Pavilion seats 5, 100 people and wi ll host student events a nd concerts as well as athletic games and tournaments. The new faci lity was a result of generous USO donors, alumni and Sid and Jenny Craig. Head Coach Kathy Marpe says, "It's a tremendous fee ling to finally be a big time program with a bi g time fac ility." Tournaments At the Jenny Craig Pavilion The University of San Diego will nost the 200 I men's and women's West Coast Conference Basketball Tournament as wel l as the annual Masry & Vititoe To urnament.

In her 20 years at USO, she has won two West Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors, two WCC Tournament Championships and made two appear ances in the NCAA Tournament. The changes she has witnessed in th e game of women's basketball and the skill s and athleticism of today's student-athl etes, is nothing short of staggering. Adapting to the changing environment is key to building a winning program. Success through change permeates Marpe's long and disti nguished coaching career and, her 329 career victories attest to her ability to flourish in a changing environment. Despite the myriad of changes in women's college basketball and th e ever-increasing skills of the student-athl etes who play them, Marpe's success comes as a result of em bracing - not resisting change. Her versatil ity was proven in I 999-00 when the Toreros earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament and a West Coast Conference Tournament Championship. Marpe reli ed on the leadership of three seniors and the consistent play of two young guards to lead the 1999-00 Torero squad to their second trip to the NCAA Tournament in school hi story. A n Elite Group of Co ach es Uni versity of San Diego head women's basketbal I coach Kathy Marpe joined an elite group of coaches in the I 998-99 season when the Toreros downed Portland State University, for her elusive 300th career coll egiate coaching victory.

Marpe has accumulated a remarkable 329 wins in her co l-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ legiate coaching career and owns 97 West Coast Confe rence ~IARPE'S victories.

The West Coast Conference was formed in 1952 to provide a convenient venue for five San Francisco Bay Area schools to compete in basketball. Since that modest beginning, the Conference has evolved and grown to become a nationally recognized and competitive force in intercollegiate athletics, with 13 league-sponsored sports: baseball; both men's and women's basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and tennis; and women's vol leyball and crew. The eight WCC members span the western coast of the United States, from the pine forests of Eastern Washington, to the Columbia River Basin, to the dynamic San Francisco Bay Area, to the sunny beaches of Southern California. The Conference is characterized by the stability of its membership - only two conferences have been together longer - and its unique emphasis on combining excellence in athletics with excellence in academics. The Conference recognizes championships in each of its sports, has hosted NCAA championship events, and produced 33 NCAA individual or team champions. And, many outstanding wee student-athletes have gone on to excel in professional sports. The long and rich history of the wee demonstrates that success in intercollegiate athletics can be built on the foundation of values, character, and academics. of the act10. n'.
