2003 S EASON O UTLOOK

S ince 1993 the University of San Diego volleyball team has appeared in postseason play nine times, captured a pair of West Coast Conference Championships and has averaged 22 wins per year- a track record that certainly validates a spot for the Toreros among the nation's top-25. But after a difficult NCAA Tournament pairing dealt No. 25 San Diego a first round date with tournament top-seed and eventual National Cham­ pion Southern California last season, USD enters the 2003 season still looking to prove that they belong among the nation's elite. "Last season's draw really made us aware of how important it is to be recognized as a top-16 team," says San Diego head coach Jennifer Petrie. "We play in the nation's toughest region and have to overcome the fact that we will consistently be challenged by a number one ranked team." In preparation for the inevitable, seven of the twelve non-conference opponents San Diego has scheduled this fall were participants in the 2002 NCAA Tournament. Perennial national powers Stanford and Long Beach State highlight a very difficult early season slate for USD. Other 2003 opponents include UC Santa Barbara, Michigan State, Arizona State, and Utah. "The fact that all of our returning players have faced a number one seed Lindsey Sherburne ranked 9th nationally (Long Beach State '01, Southern California '02) helps our confidence," with 13.54 assists per game as a freshman says Petrie. "We've played the best and this schedule will help our team, last season. not intimidate us." When West Coast Conference play commences with a road trip to the Northwest in early October, San Diego will begin its quest to challenge Pepperdine and Santa Clara for a league championship, an accomplishment that has eluded USD since winning back-to-back crowns in 1997 and '98. The Toreros enter the year armed with one of the league' s top attackers in junior Devon Forster (Boulder, CO). Forster has twice been named an All-WCC First Team selection and is coming off a sophomore season in which she challenged San Diego single season marks in kills, digs and aces. San Diego also has one of the nation's best setters in sophomore Lindsey Sherburne (Saratoga, CA). Sherburne was named the WCC co-Freshman of the Year after passing out 1,454 assists last season, ranking her 9th nationally with a 13.59 assists per game aver­ age. Sherburne' s assist total in 2002 was the second highest among any San Diego player in school history. Up front, USD returns seniors Lisa Gordon (Sacramento, CA) and Bridget Merritt (Seal Beach, CA).

The latter pair departed in 1987 when the alignment grew to its current configuration to include Gonzaga, Portland and Saint Mary's, all of which were elevated from NAIA status. All WCC members are private institutions with high aca­ demic standards and lofty athletic traditions.

T HE SETTING

The University of San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of higher education. Founded in 1949, USO is located on 180 acres overlooking Mission 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 their origins 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 build­ ings became the inspiration for USD's style. Both institutions are located on a hill overlooking a river valley.

THECAMPUS

The USO campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring 18 major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Re­ naissance style. Since 1984, USO has completed 11 major construction and expansion projects. A five-story, Spanish Renaissance parking garage (1,100 spaces) was completed in 1998. A landscaped fountain plaza was finished in the fall of 1995, connecting the entrances of the Immaculata and Hughes Administration Center. In 1992, the university completed the 45,000 square foot Loma Hall, which includes an expanded bookstore, a larger mail center, classrooms and laboratories. In 1990, the renovated Katherine M. and George M. Pardee Jr. Legal Research Center opened, a facility that offers the latest in information technology.

ACADEMICS

USO enrolls more than 7,200 students who have a choice of more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university's academic units include the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business Administration, Ed ucation, Law and Nursing. Class size generally averages between 18-25 students with the student to teacher ratio being 18:1. Over 97 percent of USD's full-time fac ulty hold doctorates. In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and universities, published by US. News & World Report, USO moved from the regional to national category in 1994. The university is ranked 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 outreach, and house building in Tijuana. The intramural program is also an integral part of student life on campus with over two-thirds of the USO community partaking in intramural sports.

ATHLETICS

The University of San Diego is a member of the West Coast Conference for nearly all sports and competes in 16 intercollegiate sports on the NCAA Division I level. Women's sports include: basketball, crew, cross country, soccer, softball, swim­ ming, tennis and volleyball.
