NEGOESCO FIELD The home field of USF’s legendary soccer program underwent aesthetic upgrades before the last three seasons. One of the most notable improvements fans will notice at Negoesco Stadium are the banners celebrating the rich legacy and tradition of USF Soccer. Six national championship banners hang alongside banners celebrating the Dons’ glorious postseason past. Other changes include the installation of European football-style advertising panels to acknowledge sponsors and supporters of USF Athletics and the Dons soccer program. The field-turf playing surface was completely reinstalled prior to the 2010 season.

BENEDETTI DIAMOND In the wake of record-setting seasons, the USF baseball program has seen a number of upgrades in facilities as well. In the last four years, the Diamond Dons received a new 800- square-foot locker room, a new infield installed to major league specifica- tions, a new outfield wall and most recently, a state-of-the-art indoor hitting complex.

In the last six years, three USF athletic programs have won their inaugural WCC team or individual championships, and eight USF student-athletes have qualified for NCAA Regional competition. In 2010, Eva Krchova raced for a national title in the 3000m steeplechase for the first time in the history of USF women’s athletics. She repeated the feat in 2011. Off the playing field, USF student athletes are continuing to excel academically as well - as the numbers show.

A LEGENDARY VENUE

Long acknowledged as one of the most outstanding places to watch a college basketball game on the West Coast, USF’s War Memorial Gym has undergone some striking changes in recent years. As home to San Francisco’s only Division I team, War Memorial’s event atmosphere benefits from one of the world’s most vibrant cities featuring some of the most knowledgeable fans and alumni in the country. Through the years, the Dons have posted 461 victories in the friendly confines, with many more to follow under the direction of head coach Rex Walters. Capacity crowds of 4,800 can make for one of the loudest home-court advantages in the WCC. Dedicated to USF’s dead from World War II, Korea and Vietnam, War Memorial Gym has been the scene of many USF championship efforts. Three WCC men’s basketball tournaments have been hosted at the facility, along with two NIT games in 2005.

Hallway Renovations The halls of the War Memorial Gym underwent a refresher in the summer. New flooring was put in and the walls are now lined with flat-screen televisions and photography of USF student- athletes in action.

RENOVATIONS

During the Summer of 2009, USF Athletics honored a remarkable past and prepared for the next generation with major renovations in War Memorial Gym. Among a number of improvements was the first court replacement done since the arena opened in 1958-59. Along with the new hardwood flooring, the gym is sporting a fresh court design and a new coat of paint from floor to ceiling. The wooden bleachers on the ends of the court were re- placed and new lights were installed. The south lobby of the gym underwent construction as well to create a more-permanent concessions area. This summer, flat-screen televisions were mounted in the gym lobbies and LED ribbon board displays were installed for the fall.

Since that modest beginning, the conference has evolved and grown to become a nationally recognized and competitive force in intercollegiate athletics. In 2011, the WCC welcomes Brigham Young University into the conference. The nine WCC members span the western coast of the United States from Canada to Mexico, from the pine forests of Eastern Washington, to the Great Salt Lake, from the dynamic San Francisco Bay Area to the sunny beaches of Southern California. The conference is characterized by the Gonzaga University Bulldogs 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 long and rich history of the WCC demonstrates that success in intercollegiate athletics can be built on the foundation of values, character and academics.
