THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO

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 th e Pacific Ocean . The campus is named Al cala Park and is located just 10 minutes from downtown San Di ego. The ca mpus was named after a Spa ni sh vi llage near Madrid - Al cala 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 whose bui ldings became the inspiration for USD's architectural style.

THE CAMPUS The USO campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Renaissance style. Since 1984, USO has completed nu­ merous major construction and expansion projects. In 2000 the Jenny Craig Pavilion, a 5, 100-seat athletic center, opened its doors as home to USO volleyball and basketball . The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice opened on the west end of campus, and the new Donald P. Shiley Center for Science and Technology opened in fall , 2003. 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 lmmaculata 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.

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 , Education, 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-tim e faculty hold doctorates. In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and universities, published by U.S. 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 cam­ pus with over two-thirds of the USO community partaking in intramural sports.

2004 University of San Diego Torero Softball 2004 TORERO SOFTBALL OUTLOOK 2 TOREROS ENTER 2004 CAMPAIGN WITH OPTIMISM

With the return of 13 letterwinners from last year's ball club, including six position starters and four pitchers, 3rd-year head coach Melissa McElvain believes the Torero softball program has established a foundation for success. The team's positive atttitude, team chemistry, hard work, enthusiasm and determination will result in a successful and exciting softball season. This year's squad has united to form a strong, talented, cohesive team that is ready for the challenges that lie ahead. The senior class will provide leadership, experience and determination to this year's squad. For the second straight year Cindy McGee (Burbank, CA) has been tabbed the team captain by her teammates. Jennifer Delpit (Palos Verdes, CA), a clutch hitter who is projected to hit in the clean-up spot, is the returning leader in RBI (16) from a year ago. Rounding out the seniors is infielder Ashley Miller (Salinas, CA) along with pitchers Anna Russell (Granada Hills, CA) and Allison Williams (Danville, CA). The junior class will be led by Kim Delpit (Palos Verdes, CA) who will start at second. Last year's co-Defensive Player of the Year, along with Ashlee Nunes, Delpit is a Captain Cindy McGee third-year player who is actually a redshirt sophomore. She is a strong hitter who has the ability to get on base and drive in runs. Additionally, she is a good contact hitter who can also hit for power. Junior outfielder Francesca Ramos (San Diego, CA) and outfielder Taryn Nagata (Honolulu, HI) will also be competing for playing time in the Torero line-up. USD's sophomore class gained valuable experience a year ago that should pay dividends in 2004. Gina McFarland (Santa Rosa, CA), the team's MVP and Rookie of the Year in 2003, is the club's top returning hitter and pitcher. A 2nd Team All-PCSC selection, she batted .291 with 7 doubles and 7 RBI. She also pitched 133.0 innings, finishing with a team-best 2.42 ERA and 9 complete games. Sara Mason (Santa Rosa, CA), last year's Offensive Player of the Year and Coaches Award recipient, will start at catcher and also see action at third base. She started 45 of 47 games while batting .258 with 11 runs, 8 doubles, 2 homers and 9 RBI. Ashlee Nunes (Roseville, CA), co-Defensive Player of the Year, returns at shortstop where she has great range. Nunes and Kim Delpit will give the Toreros a solid defense up the middle. She'll also hit at the top of the line-up and supply excellent speed on the base paths. Additonal sophomores include pitchers Erin Harmonson (San Diego, CA) and Kari Lohse (Orland, CA), along with Marissa Merchain (La Mirada, CA) who will see action at both catcher and third base. Last year Harmonson was second on the team in innings pitched (] 10.0) and complete games (7), but first in strikeouts (55). For the second straight year McElvain has brought in a solid freshman class that will add strength and depth to the line-up, both offensively and defensively. The four newcomers include - Alicia Massei, from Chino Hills, CA (Ayala HS), will provide offensive power to the line-up and also contribute defensively at first base and third base; Christina Haake, from Goleta, CA (Dos Pueblos HS), will provide offense with her bat and will also strengthen the pitching staff and outfield defensively; Rebekah Bradord, from Turlock, CA (Turlock HS), adds speed and versatility to the team along with hitting from both sides of the plate; and Danielle Treiber, from Villa Park, CA (Mater Dei HS), is a "true" utility player who can play every infield position as well as outfield and catcher. She is a very raw hitter with tremendous potential. This year's schedule, once again, will be very challenging. It features contests with Oregon State, Syracuse, San Diego State, Colorado State, Princeton and Dartmouth. The Toreros will also play an exhibition game against the Canadian Olympic Team (Feb. 12th) as Canada prepares for the 2004 games in Athens, Greece. USO hopes to take advantage of the fact that they will be playing a lot more home games in 2004. The Toreros will also host two tournaments (see brackets on page 13) in late February and March. The Toreros enter their second year as a member of the Pacific Coast Softball Conference. This year's league is much stronger from top to bottom than a year ago. The PCSC championship is wide open and the Toreros hope to make a run at the title. The PCSC expects to receive an automatic bid to a post-season Regional Tournament beginning in the 2005 season.

2004 University of San Diego Torero Softball PACIFIC COAST SOFTBALL CONFERENCE 14 The Pacific Coast Softball Conference - A League Of Their Own

The NCAA Division I Management Council Administrative Committee announced the approval of the Pacific Coast Softball Conference (PCSC) for Division I conference membership in women's softball on Oct. 17, 2002. The 2003 softball season marked the inaugu­ ral year of the PCSC, with Loyola Marymount winning the conference's first title. Wendy Guthrie, former Associate Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator at the University of San Diego and current professor in the Sport Management Master's program at the University of San Francisco, enters her second year as commissioner of the new conference. Dr. Bill Husak, Director of Athletics at Loyola Mary mount, will continue to serve the role of president of the conference officers. The conference is comprised of six schools: Sacramento State, Loyola Marymount, Portland State, Saint Mary's, Santa Clara and San Diego. Prior to joining the PCSC, the schools were members of the Western Athletic Conference, Western Intercol­ legiate Softball League and the Big West Conference for softball league play. One of the objectives of the PCSC is to provide the teams with an opportunity for an automatic qualifying bid to NCAA Tournament play. The conference will be eligible to apply for the automatic bid in the 2005 season. "I have been impressed with the diligence of the institutions' administrators in forming this conference, the collegiality among the softball coaches, and the student-athletes' desire for competitive success in order to bring the Pacific Coast Softball Conference to national recognition," Guthrie said. "The creation of the PCSC was a result of a clear need for a quality championship experience for the student-athletes, and one that would realize the opportunity for these players and coaches to have access to the NCAA Tournament."

She is currently working on a Masters Degree at USO in Counseling. Shaney and her husband, Tom Vorkoper, reside in Encinitas. The USO Athletic Academic Support Program is designed to promote the academic development of stu­ dent-athletes. The primary objective is to offer the necessary resources for the academic success of student­ athletes as they work to earn their degree. Academic Support Services are designed to enhance the student-athlete's overall collegiate experi­ ence and encourage development and attainment of academic and career goals. All USD student-athletes have access to advising, tutoring and mentoring services. The mentoring program, Access, was developed in 1999 and teams a graduate student in the Counseling program with an athlete who would like to enhance study skill s, learn about campus resources and receive guidance on goal development and attainment. Student-athletes also have access to a quiet area where they can study or work in the computer center. In addition, student-athletes are encouraged to utilize the campus learning centers including the Writing, Math and Logic Centers as well as to take advantage of the resources available to them in the Career Center, Counseling Center and Computer Labs.

1/ "Th e greatest challenge to a Division I athlete is to balance the demands of sport while taking full ' advantage of the educational experience offered. Th e purpose of our program is to assist student-athletes in meeting this challenge by offering tutorin g, advising, mentoring and a quiet environment to study. Th e academic support program is designed to assist students in adjusting to life at USD and developing sound academic and career plans. By promoting a philosophy of individual responsibility, which encourages each student-athlete to value their educational experience, the academic support program assists each athlete to realize their full potential".

Torero Strength and Conditioning

The University of San Diego athletic department recogni zes the need for all athl etes of all sports to engage in a comprehensive strength and conditioning program. The USO strength and conditioning program has been designed to develop functional strength, speed, power and endurance. The development of th ese physical attributes is ineffective if the athletes are not able to carry them over to th e pl ayin g fi eld . Adhering to a properly designed program of strength train ing, conditioni ng and nutrition can enable our men and women to become th e best possible athletes they can be, while simultaneously reducing the incidence of injury. The heart of the strength and conditioning program is the Jenny Craig Pavilion fitn ess center (3 ,800 sq uare feet) and the USO Sports Center weight room (5 ,000 square fee t). Both weight rooms contain Olympic platforms, free-weights, selectorized machines, dumbbell s and cardiovascular equipment , and are open exclusively to student-athletes at specifi c times each day. US O student-athletes receive intensive instruction on proper weight training tec hnique; speed, power and agility development ; and sport-specific conditi oning. Thei r strength and conditioning programs are specific to the nature of th eir sport or position. Each athlete is individually monitored throughout their program to ensure the greatest chance of athletic progress.
