The freshmen newcomers will complement the other key returning players that include junior forward Erin Malich, sopho­ more forward Melissa Padgett and sophomore post player Marta Menuez. Marpe is excited about the senior leadership provided by Glazebrook, Janeene Arendsen and Robyn Fortney as well. "We have a great point guard in Melissa Glazebrook," added Marpe. "With seniors Janeene Arendsen and Robyn Fortney bringing their competitive nature to practice everyday, we should have great senior leadership." HEAD COACH KATHY MARPE ... Senior Melissa Glazebrook Kathy Marpe is known as the "Dean" of the West Coast Conference. She enters her 29th season as a collegiate head coach and her 22nd season at San Diego, with two West Coast Con­ ference Coach of the Year honors, I 02 WCC wins and 339 career victories. San Diego will have to overcome the loss of both starting post players, leading scorer Amber Jansen and leading shot blocker Jamie Lucia. Last season Jansen poured in 15.8 points per game and averaged 7.2 rebounds. However, the loss of Jansen and Lucia present opportunities for talented young post players, such as sophomores Marta Menuez and Melissa Padgett, along with junior Erin Malich. With senior Melissa Glazebrook, an All-West Coast Tour­ nament selection from 1999 returning at point guard, the Toreros Junior Erin Malich are armed with veteran leadership in the backcourt. Glazebrook, who is one of the most feared defenders in the league, will share the backcourt with Nakamoto and Fortney. All three are legitimate threats from outside. Nakamoto shot 42% from three-point range last season and Fortney connected on 33 % of her shots from behind the arc in 2000-01. The Toreros play on the road throughout the month of November with trips to Colorado and New York, before open­ ing their home schedule with five consecutive games in the Jenny Craig Pavilion. Following conference play, the University of San Diego will host the West Coast Conference Tournament in the Jenny Craig Pavilion for the second consecutive year. In the two seasons that the Toreros advanced into the NCAA's, 1993 and 2000, San Diego won the conference tourna­ ment. The Toreros hope to accomplish that same feat on their home court in 2002. Sophomore Marta Menuez 4 Head Coaeh Kat:hy Marpe 22nd Season Coach Marpe will begin her 29th year as a head coach and her 22nd season leading the University of San Diego women's basketball program. In her career Marpe has reached milestones aspiring coaches can only dream of; 339 career coaching victories, 102 West Coast Conference wins, two WCC coach of the year awards, two conference tournament championships and two NCAA Tour­ nament teams. As a Torero, Marpe has coached 11 First Team All-West Coast Conference players, and more impor­ tantly, 30 of Marpe's players have been honored as WCC Scholar Athletes. The changes Marpe has witnessed in the game of women's basketball with the skills and athleticism of today's student athletes, is nothing short of staggering. Success through change permeates Marpe's long and distinguished coaching career. Marpe's fourteen winning seasons and coach of the year honors in 1993 and 1998 attest to her ability to flourish in a changing athletic environment.
