The 1971 San José State men’s water polo team was one of the top teams in the country, winning the Pacific Coast Athletic Association tournament by knocking off Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara. SJSU extended its season record to 20-0 after defeating Stanford and Cal State Fullerton in the first two rounds of the NCAA Championship tournament before UCLA won a hard-fought 5-3 decision for the NCAA title.
Mike Albright, Fred Belcher, Ken Belli, John Gebers, Steve Hamann, Greg Jackson, and Steve Spencer were named All-PCAA that year. Hamann, a 1980 U.S. Olympian, Ed Samuels, and Bruce Watson would go on to play for Team USA. There was no conference Coach of the Year, but if there was one, most certainly the award would have gone to Lee Walton, who coached the Spartans for 11 seasons and ushered San Jose State’s transition from a post-season tournament championship team in 1968 to success in NCAA Championships competition. 3 21 SCOTT’S SEAFOOD IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF SAN JOSE STATE ATHLETICS

“Then, there was a class in my sophomore year titled One area Monroe has a grasp on is the tipped ball Junior Seminar. It was a communications class. There was a interception; when one of his teammates deflects the ball away lot of group work. That’s where I felt more comfortable giving from the receiver into the air and Monroe comes down with it. public speeches and talking to other people,” said Monroe. That happened this season in the opener with UC Davis and again at Oregon. “I’ve always been pretty quiet person, but I felt com- fortable giving speeches after that (Junior Seminar) class. There “Part of it is the defensive scheme. I try to be in the would be 10 of us in a group and we would talk about projects. I right place all the time.

The interceptions have been coming because I’ve been PLAYING THE GAME in the right spot. It’s been that type of season so far.”
As a player, Monroe sees action as a cornerback, nickel With the Spartans’ conference opener today vs. Hawai’i, back and occasional safety. Monroe believes San José State is in the right spot and primed for a takeoff. “I’ve learned a whole bunch of different techniques over the last four years.

“(At first) I didn’t want to be coached by anyone else. We’ll see how many more steps Dakari Monroe and the Coach (Ron) English was very smart. He taught differently than Spartans take toward their goal this afternoon. Donte, but it still worked. My junior year, Coach (Will) Harris taught a different way and it still worked for me. Same with Coach (Aric) Williams. Every year, I’ve tried to take things that I can implement to my game and take knowledge from every single coach.
“I love being around the action. It’s more fun. Some- times, it can get boring at corner. I like moving around and being around the ball. It’s definitely been fun for me.
“I play corner and nickel. Within those two facets, I’m doing everything one can as a defensive back. As a defender, I’m blitzing. (At) ‘nickel,’ you can get more action because you’re in the middle of everything. You’re closer to the ball. You have to tackle. You have to drop into coverage. Whereas at corner, you have to drop to the outside. It’s more like you against him. You’re really not getting involved in the box and the run game.
“He plays field corner, boundary corner, nickel and safety if we need him,” said coach Aric Williams. “He has the physical and athletic ability. He’s smart and it’s a credit to him he is able to dedicate himself to being a student of the game,”
The combination of playing so many positions and being the one true senior in the secondary pushed him into a leadership role among the Spartans’ defensive backs group. Dakari Monroe applies what he has learned from four defensive back’s coaches during his San José State career.
