Loyola Marymount

THE OUTLOOK After winning LMU’s first Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference Championship in 2008, LMU and Head Coach Bonnie Adair continued to shine in 2009, finishing second at the PCSC Championships. Continuing to establish itself as one of the top programs in the PCSC, this year LMU will rely on a core group of returning swimmers, including the 2009 PCSC Swimmer of the Year Anne Scott, and another talented crop of newcomers eager to show their stuff at the next level. Adair will once again be assisted by Clay Evans and Joanne Reierson.

PCSC CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMARY

2009-10 LMU SWIMMING

The Lions are coming off another outstanding year in the pool, highlighted by a second-place finish at the PCSC Championship. The Lions won eight PCSC Championship events, including three relays and five individual events. All three relays, in addition to Anne Scott’s 100 freestyle time of 50.96, set new PCSC records. Following the last event at the PCSC Championships, Scott, who won all three of her individual events (50 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 100 freestyle) and three relay titles, was awarded Female Swimmer of the Year, highlighting a list of 14 Lion swimmers on the All-Conference squad. Scott became the second swimmer in LMU history to earn the top honor, following Lauren Mathewson’s threeevent win in 2007. Joining Scott with individual PCSC Championship victories were Rebecca Plume (500 freestyle) and Yvonne Le (100 butterfly). Scott, Carolyn Pasque, Megan Sawelson and Alicia Witter teamed to win the 200 freestyle and the 400 freestyle relays, while Plume, Sawelson, Scott and Witter won the 800 freestyle relay. - Day One: The LMU swim team sat in fourth place with 116 points after day one of competition at the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference Championships. The Lions trailed Pepperdine with 215 points, UC San Diego with 145 points and UC Santa Cruz with 142 points. LMU, which does not field a div-

ing team, surrendered valuable points to each of the three teams in front. If the diving points were erased, the Lions would sit just four points behind UCSD for first place. The Lions first hit the water in the 200 medley relay as the team of Tammy Choy, Anne Scott, Mallorie Lim and Carolyn Pasque combined to place fourth overall with a time of 1:47.55. UC San Diego claimed the top-spot in the race, touching the wall in 1:45.29, followed by Pepperdine at 1:46.35, and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks at 1:46.60. The highlight of the day for LMU came in the 800 freestyle relay when the team of Rebecca Plume, Megan Sawelson, Scott and Alicia Witter set a new PCSC record and won the event with a time of 7:25.07. That mark also annihilated the previous school record of 7:39.24, set in 2007. In addition, Plume’s lead 200 time of 1:51.72 broke her previous school record of 1:52.31. - Day Two: The LMU swimming team sat in third place after two full days of competition at the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference Championships. In addition, LMU recorded numerous personal-best times and set three new school records, along with another PCSC relay record, this time in the 200 freestyle relay. The Lions now held the conference record in three of the five relay events. Senior Rebecca Plume defended her title in the 500 freestyle, taking the lead from the start and never relinquishing it. Her time of 4:58.01 was a bit slower than her school record time from last year, but she outdistanced her nearest competition, Shannon Simonds of UC San Diego, by two seconds. Junior Alicia Witter improved her personal-best time by six seconds with a 5:01.18 for third place. Freshman Jill Dahle dropped almost 10 seconds from her personal-best, winning the consolation final with a time of 5:00.74, a mark that would have placed her third in the Championship final. LMU scored five swimmers in the 200 individual medley, led by freshmen Tammy Choy and Yvonne Le who placed third and sixth in the Championship final. Junior Melanie Tansuwan also placed

well, finishing eighth overall. Both Choy and Le were under the existing school record, as Choy’s time of 2:06.48 broke LMU’s oldest standing record by over two seconds. Winning the Consolation final for ninth place was junior Trinity O’Neill (2:09.19), while junior Mallorie Lim added another five points to the team score by taking 20th, dropping her personalbest time by over three seconds at 2:11.70. Anne Scott continued to dominate the 50 freestyle event, winning the race in a school record time of 23.44. Sophomore Carolyn Pasque placed fourth, dropping her personal-best time to a 24.07, followed by senior Megan Sawelson in eighth (24.46) and freshman Olivia Plume in 15th (24.72). Scott, Pasque and Sawelson were joined by Witter to battle UCSD for the Championship title in the 200 freestyle relay. After three years of being the runner-up in the race, the Lions were finally victorious, breaking the PCSC record and dropping over a second off the school record with a time of 1:34.77. In summary, of the six swimming events to that point at the championships, LMU won four events, established five new school records, and broke two Conference records. The Lions sat just 27 points behind Pepperdine and 46 back of first-place UC San Diego. With the diving events behind them, LMU would look to erase the deficit and claim its second consecutive PCSC Title. - Day Three: The LMU swim team sat in second place, just 11 points behind UC San Diego, entering Saturday’s finale at the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference Championships. Tammy Choy took second place in the 400 individual medley, touching the wall in 4:26.14. That mark set a new LMU program record by over six seconds. Alexandra Henley won the event in 4:25.87, just out-touching Choy. Trinity O’Neill placed fourth overall in a time of 4:32.51, also securing a time better than the previous program record, which she held from the 2007 season. The Lions also placed a trio of swimmers in 14th, 15th and 16th as Christina Cannata (4:45.01), Julia Hall (4:47.33) and Terry Rinder (4:47.83) finished in

those places, respectively. LMU performed extremely well in the 100 butterfly, led by Yvonne Le with a time of 57.27 to win the event. Le also set the program record in the event with her preliminary time of 57.17. Mallorie Lim (57.86), Olivia Plume (58.01) and Melanie Tansuwan (58.73) each finished in the top-10, placing fourth, fifth and 10th overall, in that order. Kyla Dahlquist placed 11th with a time of 58.84, while Kristen Lutjen claimed 18th with a mark of 1:00.48. After Rebecca Plume set the program record in the 200 freestyle on Wednesday, Anne Scott responded on Friday by re-setting the benchmark with a first-place time of 1:50.44. Plume was just short of a second behind Scott, posting a time of 1:51.35 to claim second. LMU continued to show well in the event, as Alicia Witter sealed the Lion sweep of the top-three positions with a third-place time of 1:51.37. Jill Dahle (fifth-1:52.76) and Megan Sawelson (eighth-1:55.11) ran the total to five LMU swimmers in the top-10 with their solid times. The Lions went on to place swimmers in 15th and 16th as Danielle Garcia and Carolyn Pasque turned in times of 1:56.18 and 1:56.56, respectively. LMU managed to place one swimmer in the top-20 of the 100 backstroke as Kristen Lutjen finished 16th in 1:01.35. The Lions also took third in the 400 medley relay as Choy, Tansuwan, Le and Olivia Plume teamed to stop the clock at 3:54.98. - Day Four: The LMU swim team finished second at the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference Championships on Saturday, falling 22 points short of champion, UC San Diego. LMU’s point total of 1381 was almost 150 points higher than the previous year when it won the Championship. LMU’s 1650 freestyle swimmers started the evening off strong by scoring a combined total of 88 points with senior Rebecca Plume closing out her career with a fourth-place finish (17:36.04), followed by freshmen Christina Cannata and Terry Rinder in fifth and eighth, respectively, and senior Julia Hall in 12th place. Cannata and Rinder moved into the second and third spots in LMU’s All-Time Record Book with times of 17:38.68 and 17:49.27, respectively, behind Plume’s 17:16:14 from 2008. LMU’s freshmen continued to impress with a third and sixth place finish from Tammy Choy and Yvonne Le in the 200 backstroke. Choy’s time of 2:04.81 is the second-fastest time in LMU Swimming history, while Le’s 2:06.30 is third fastest. The highlight of the evening came in the 100 freestyle, as the Lions once again qualified five swimmers for the Championship Final, and another two in the Consolation Final. Scott and Alicia Witter battled for the top spot, with Scott getting the touch at 50.96, a new Conference and LMU program record. Witter was close behind with a personal-best time of 51.23, followed by a trio of San Diego swimmers. Senior Megan Sawelson and sophomore Carolyn Pasque tied for the sixth spot with a 52.76, and freshman Olivia Plume captured eighth with a 53.00. In the Consolation Final, senior Danielle Garcia closed out her LMU career with a personal-best time of 53.34, good for 13th, and freshman Kyla Dahlquist was 16th with a 54:89 (54.18 in the preliminaries). LMU scored well in the final individual event of the evening, trying to close the gap in the team scores with 94 points in the 200 butterfly. Leading the way for the Lions was junior Trinity O’Neill, who was in fourth place with a time of 2:09.14, followed closely by junior Melanie Tansuwan in fifth at 2:09.25. Freshman Jill Dahle placed seventh with a time of 2:09.83. Mallorie Lim added valuable points by winning the Consolation Final for ninth place, improving her personal-best time by over two seconds with a time of 2:11.03. In the morning preliminary swims, sophomore Katie Carmody swam to a personal-best time of 2:08.27, the second-fastest time in the heats, but because she had not been designated as one of the 18 official scorers allowed by NCAA rules, she was ineligible for the evening finals. Her preliminary time would have placed third in the event, and is the third-fastest time in LMU history. Scott, Witter, Pasque and Sawelson returned to the water for the final event of the competition. The foursome, who had set the Conference record in the 200 freestyle relay on Thursday night, thrashed defending champion UCSD in the 400 freestyle relay by over two seconds. The Lions’ time of 3:26.98 established another Conference and another LMU program record. LMU now owns four of the five Conference relay records.

THE TEAM The Lions will rely heavily on the experience and guidance from their seniors this season. Alexa Cook, Mallorie Lim, Trinity O’Neill, Anne Scott, Melanie Tansuwan and Alicia Witter are each in their final year for LMU, and they are expected to give everything they have in their final campaign for another PCSC Championship. Scott, named the 2009 PCSC Swimmer of the Year for winning the 50, 100 and 200 sprint freestyle events at the PCSC Championships last year, is expected to once again be the leader in the pool for LMU. She posted a new conference and LMU program record in the 100 freestyle with a 50.96. The native of Bainbridge Island, Wash. also broke LMU program records in the 50 freestyle with a personal-best time of 23.44, and in the 200 freestyle times with a 1:50.44. Helping in a team effort as well, she added three additional championship titles as a member of the Lion’s 200, 400 and 800 freestyle relay teams, shattering the existing conference record in all three events. Scott was the team’s highest-scorer in dual meets throughout the season, with first-place dual meet wins in the 50 freestyle against UCSD, New Mexico State and San Diego and in the 100 and 200 freestyle against UOP, Fresno Pacific, Seattle University, and Cal State Bakersfield. Lim, O’Neill, Tansuwan and Witter each earned PCSC All-Conference bids last year for their efforts in helping LMU to a second-place finish. Witter continued to be a dominant force in the sprint and mid-distance freestyle events at the PCSC Championships last year, placing second in the 100 freestyle and third in both the 200 and 500 freestyles, all with personal-best times. She anchored LMU’s 200 and 800 freestyle relays and contributed the fastest split on the 400 freestyle relay, helping to shatter the existing conference and program records in all three relay events. Lim earned her All-Conference bid by finishing fourth in the 100 butterfly in 57.82, fourth best in LMU program history. Equally as strong, O’Neill finished fourth in the 400 IM at the Conference Championships with a personal-best time of 4:32.51, second best in LMU program history. She also placed fourth in the 200 butterfly and ninth in the 200 IM to add 72 points to the Lions total. Tansuwan placed fifth at the Conference Championships in the 200 butterfly and eighth in the 200 IM, contributing 55 points to the team total last year. Katie Carmody, Carolyn Pasque and transfer Isabella Zhang make up the junior class this year for the Lions. Pasque, a PCSC All-Conference selection, continued as one of LMU’s top freestyle sprinters, again earning top-eight finishes in the 50 (fourth) and 100 freestyle (seventh) at the PCSC Championships with personal-best times of 24.07 and 52.76. She was also a member of the Lion’s conference winning 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams, which shattered the existing conference and LMU program records. A consistent performer in dual meets throughout the season, she won the 200 freestyle against Seattle University, and took second to teammate Anne Scott in the 50 freestyle against San Diego and Fresno State. Zhang, who transferred to the Lion program after spending two years at Santa Monica College, enters having been named an All-American in each of her two seasons at SMC. A State Champion in the 100 freestyle, she is also stellar in the butterfly stroke and will be expected to contribute right away for LMU.

2009-10 LMU swimming

After entering as one of the best recruiting classes to ever grace the Lion program, a handful of Lion swimmers will return as sophomores with a valuable year of experience under their belts. Five of the eight sophomores, namely Christina Cannata, Tammy Choy, Jill Dahle, Yvonne Le and Terry Rinder, garnered PCSC All-Conference recognition after outstanding freshman campaigns. Cannata earned her bid for her fifth-place finish in the 1650 freestyle at the Conference Championships. She posted a personal-best time of 17:38.68 in that race, the second fastest time in LMU program history. Choy became LMU’s premier individual medley specialist, breaking LMU’s longest standing program record in the 200 IM with a 2:06.48, and shattering the 400 IM program record with a 4:26.14 on way to a second and third-place finish at the PCSC Conference Championships. She also placed third at championships in the 200 backstroke, recording the second-fastest time in LMU history. Dahle established herself as one of the top mid-distance freestylers in the PCSC with a third-place finish in the 200 freestyle, while also winning the consolation final in the 500 freestyle. Le became one of LMU’s most versatile swimmers last year, winning the 100 butterfly at the PCSC Championships with a new LMU program record of 57.17. She also placed sixth in the 200 IM and 200 backstroke events, contributing 70 points to the team score at the championships. Rinder, swimming as a distance freestyle specialist, placed eighth at the PCSC Conference Championships in the 1650 freestyle. She also placed 16th in the 400 IM and 19th in the 500 freestyle, adding 40 points to the Lion’s team total. This year, with the addition of junior transfer, Isabella Zhang, and a handful of new freshman talent, LMU looks to replenish the wealth that has been lost with the departure of the seniors from last season. Kia Dobie, Stephanie Hess, two-sport All-American Camille Hopp (who will also compete for LMU women’s water polo team) and Noelani Vargas are all freshmen who are eager to show their talents at the next level of competition. With each year, the LMU swim program has gained momentum. This season, the Lions look to repeat the previous years of success and make a return to the top of the PCSC at this year’s Championships. With the strength and depth of the program where it currently stands, there seems to be endless possibility for LMU this season.

Loyola Marymount

The Loyola Marymount athletic department welcomed the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center to its family of sports facilities in August of 2000. The Olympic-size pool is part of the $20 million Burns Recreation Center and serves as the home venue for men’s and women’s water polo, as well as LMU swimming. Showing that it is one of the finest facilities in the country, LMU hosted the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship on December 7-8, 2002. Both days of the event were sold out with a crowd of over 2,600 for the championship. The NCAA granted LMU the event again for the 2006 championship. One of the premier aquatics facilities in Southern California, the Burns Recreation Center pool is heated and features an advanced deck-level drainage system. There are separate locker rooms for home and visiting teams, as well as office space and meeting rooms for the LMU aquatics coaching staff. Adjacent to the pool is permanent bleacher seating with a normal capacity for 800 fans. Added to the facility in the fall of 2001 was a state-of-the-art scoreboard. The scoreboard from Colorado Timing Systems features scoring systems for both water polo and swimming, including touch-pad timing for eight swim lanes.

2009-10 LMU SWIMMING

The fully digital system includes matrix and video capabilities and was installed thanks to the donations of Albert Gersten. In addition, a new audio system was installed prior to the start of the 2002 swimming season, and the aquatic center now features a recreational lawn picnic area complete with berm seating.

2009-10 Lions - head coach BONNIE ADAIR Santa Monica Masters Swim Team, which later became SCAQ - now the largest Masters program in the United States with over 900 active members.

Adair joined the LMU program in 2002-03 with a 35-year background in swimming.

Between 1985 and 1994, Adair came out of swimming retirement to compete in several Masters National Championships and World Games and set national and world records in the freestyle sprint events and 100 and 200 IMs. She has contributed swimming articles to SWIM Magazine and Fitness Swimmer Magazine and was honored as the United States Masters Coach of the Year in 1997.

In her first season as a full-time head coach, Adair added 17 newcomers to the program’s roster, which doubled the team’s size and jump-started the new era of LMU swimming. Since her arrival, Adair has turned the LMU program into a contender for the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference Championship, culminating in LMU’s first title in 2008. The Lions finished third in the conference in 2005 and set 16 of 19 school records in a history-making season. LMU earned its first two conference event titles in 2005, winning both the 200 medley relay (Lauren Mathewson, Morgan Finley, Angela Samuels, Katie Hicks) and the 100 backstroke (Mathewson).

GO FASTER • GO FOR THE TITLE • GO LIONS

After becoming the first full-time women’s swimming coach at LMU, Bonnie Adair enters her seventh season with the Lions, having been named 2008 Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference Coach of the Year.

In their 30 years coaching together, it is estimated that Adair and Evans have coached or instructed 20,000 Los Angeles-area swimmers.

From 1996-1999, Adair was the head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming teams at Santa Monica College, where she earned the Western State Conference Women’s Coach of the Year award in 1997. In 1998, her women’s team tied for the conference title and placed sixth in the state. Her men’s team also earned a sixth place finish. Adair currently resides in West Los Angeles.

The 2005-06 Lions added four more PCSC titles, winning the 200 medley relay (Mathewson, Sarah Hamilton, Samuels, Hicks), the 100 freestyle (Hicks), the 100 breaststroke (Hamilton) and the 100 backstroke (Mathewson). LMU posted a dual record of 9-5 in that season, marking the second straight winning season under Adair. Highlighted by 11 new school records and four PCSC event titles, Loyola Marymount finished second of 14 teams in the conference at the 200607 PCSC Championship. The team finished 7-5 in dual meets to extend Adair’s winning-season streak to three straight. PCSC Championship triple winner Mathewson, along with teammates Morgan Finley, Alex Wike, Trinity O’Neill, and Samuels were selected to the PCSC All-Conference team. Senior Amanda Luciano was named to the PCSC All-Academic team. Mathewson’s three event titles came in the 50 freestyle, 100 backstroke, and 200 backstroke, earning her PCSC Swimmer of the Year honors. She was also a member of the 200 medley relay, along with Finley, Samuels and Wike, which shattered the existing meet record by over a second en route to the Lion victory. In 2008, Adair made it four straight winning seasons, turning in a perfect 9-0 record in dual meets en route to her first PCSC Coach of the Year selection. The perfect record marked the first time in school history that a team had gone undefeated. Adair and the Lions capped the outstanding season with a first-place finish at the PCSC Championships, posting a school-record 11 swimmers on the All-Conference Team. Alex Wike claimed the top-spot in the 50 freestyle, Rebecca Plume won the 500 freestyle and Alicia Witter took home the individual title in the 100 freestyle event. 2009 proved to be another successful year for Adair and the Lions, as LMU finished second at the PCSC Championship, just 22 points short of another team title. Despite finishing second, LMU scored over 140 more points than the 2008 Championship team, and Lion swimmers won five individual and three relay events, by far the most in LMU history. In addition, Adair saw Anne Scott named PCSC Swimmer of the Year and her Lions set four new PCSC records and six LMU records. During her own 13-year swimming career, she set 35 National Age Group records including a 50m freestyle record that stood for 29 years.

2009-10 LMU swimming

Competing in 12 National Championships (her first at age 13) and two Olympic Trials, Adair became a National finalist in the 100 free and 100 fly and a member of a 400-meter medley relay that established four American records. She attended UCLA as an undergraduate and then Loyola Law School. During law school, Adair was the assistant coach of the UCLA women’s swim team and also coached the Team Santa Monica age group team. In 1979, Adair, along with current LMU assistant Clay Evans, created the

Loyola Marymount Assistant Coach Clay Evans Clay Evans enters his 11th season as an assistant coach at LMU. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Lions’ program with his career as a competitive swimmer. Evans appeared in the 1972 Munich Games, and won a silver medal in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. He studied at UCLA, where he was a fourtime All-American swimmer. He has broken over 40 Masters National and World Records. In 1979, Evans co-founded the Southern California Aquatics Masters (SCAQ) - the largest masters swim club in the United States. He was awarded the 1993 U.S. Masters Coach of the Year from the Masters Aquatic Association. In their 30 years coaching together, it is estimated that Evans ad LMU Bonnie Adair have coached or instructed 20,000 Los Angeles-area swimmers.

Assistant Coach Joanne Reierson Joanne Reierson enters her sixth season as an assistant coach at LMU working with the distance freestylers and breaststroke specialists. Reierson grew up in Indianapolis, Ind., and started swimming breaststroke and IM in high school. Much to her dismay, her coach entered her in the 500 as a junior, and so began her distance freestyle specialty. Reierson swam at Dartmouth College, where she majored in economics and math, and was captain her senior year. After graduating in 1993, she moved to New York City, where she joined the Asphalt Green Masters team and met her husband, Lars. They lived in Singapore for three years before moving to L.A. in 1998 and joining the SCAQ Masters. There, Reierson met LMU coaches Adair and Evans.

2009-10 LMU SWIMMING

Reierson has competed at the Masters short course National Championships off and on for the last 15 years. Her national titles include the 50 breaststroke in 1994 and the 1000 freestyle in 2002 and 2004. The Reiersons have two sons, Nils, who was born in September of 2005, and Reese, who was born in June of 2008.

LMU Mission statements and facts:

living are simple: an active social scene, meal plans that allow students to dine at various campus locations, and easy access to classes and campus facilities. But university housing offers much more than simple convenience, it also give students an edge. As a resident, students are immediately plugged into programs that help them achieve better grades, meet new friends, develop professional contacts and graduate in a timely manner. At LMU, we know that everything you do - including where you live shapes the person you’re becoming. So LMU offers themed living communities where you pursue your education in a social context that’s relevant to you. Here, you live and learn in an environment that promotes reflection and character development, where your values are celebrated, challenged, shared.

IT’S WHERE YOU’RE BOUND “We’re trying to get rid of you,” said professor Kelly Younger, who directs the Honors Program, likes to tell LMU students. He’s referring to the study abroad opportunities, scholarships, internships, academic conferences and competitions that take students off campus and into the world. When it comes time to graduate, students will have the knowledge, the confidence, and the strength of spirit to achieve anything the students can imagine. To help you toward your ideal career, LMU offers a network of loyal alumni. “Even the summer after graduation, I am already aware of the benefits that LMU alumni networking offers,” says a new alum. “When we leave the undergraduate family, it’s as if we graduate into an even larger family that offers constant support.”

Building Champions. T

he athletics facilities at Loyola Marymount University have seen a little of everything in the almost 70 years while in its current Westchester location. From the 1984 Olympic games to LMU basketball to the World Cup and everything in between, the LMU athletics facilities have become home to the best and it continues to get better. Thanks to continued commitment by the University, the Athletics Complex over the next two years will show lots of growth. It started this summer when the University allocated office and meeting space to Lion Athletics within the Dorothy and Thomas E. Leavey Center on the Westchester campus. The Leavey Center will become home to 15 of the Lions’ 21 varsity program in the newly remodeled and modern office complex. With six suites on two floors in the heart of the LMU campus, Athletics at Leavey joins an impressive list of facilities. At the center is Albert Gersten Pavilion, home to LMU basketball, volleyball and the administrative offices. The facility also includes the Academics Center, the LMU Training Room, LMU Weight Room, locker room facilities, and LMU Media Room - all of which will undergo renovations over the next two years. In addition to Gersten Pavilion, the complex includes George Page Stadium, Sullivan Field, the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center, the Jane Bove Boathouse, Smith Field, the LMU Tennis Complex and the Thomas Higgins Short Game Center. Each facility has undergone modifications and improvements since 2000, including the newest competition venue on campus, Smith Field, which opened in 2006. Other competitive venues have been added in the last 10 years, including the George P. Kading and Morris A. Pivaroff Tournament Court at the LMU Tennis Center in 2004, the Boathouse in 2002 and the Burns Aquatics Center in 2001. In addition to the playing “fields,” other facilities have been added to enhance the Athletics’ Complex. The Higgins Short Game Center was completed in 2006 for the men’s golf team.

Lion Game Day:

Feel the Roar. ORIGIN OF THE LION

LionPride

Although its origin is somewhat clouded, the Lion mascot has been synonymous with Loyola Marymount University for more than 70 years. According to the Oct. 5, 1923 edition of the school newspaper, the Los Angeles Loyolan, the Lion mascot was suggested by an enthusiastic fan after 1919 when St. Vincent’s College became Loyola College. Noting the Loyola football player’s fierce competitiveness, that unknown fan described the Loyola players as Lions. The name did not generate too much popularity and the Loyola athletic nickname remained “Loyolan’s” until 1923. At that time, the article explains, the college wished to inspire new pride in its athletes and fans. Noting the success of nicknames for other colleges, the college opted to give the Lion’s nickname a rebirth. Calling the old Lion mascot “mistreated and forgotten,” the article explains that the Lion would officially find its way into all college songs and cheers. The Lion has remained firmly entrenched in Loyola lore to this very day. An alternative origin story traces the nickname to the abundance of actual mountain lions which roamed Westchester when Loyola College moved here in 1927. The area remained widely unpopulated and teemed with wildlife when the school moved atop the bluffs. School officials reportedly adopted the nickname because mountain lions inhabited the area when ground was broken.

This organization is the official student booster club of LMU athletics. Seen throughout the athletic season, LionPride has been a major reason for record student attendance the last several years. With more than 1,000 members this year, LionPride will be a factor at LMU events. Open to all students enrolled at LMU, LionPride offers free admission to all home regular season athletic events, opportunity to participate in in-game promotions, drawings for valuable prizes and much, much more, including the LionPride T-Shirt. In addition, LionPride makes its way to road games thanks to multiple road trips through out the year.

PEP BAND In what many consider its first appearance at any LMU athletic event, the LMU Pep Band broke onto the scene late in the 2001-02 season. Bringing energy and atmosphere to athletics events, the Pep Band is the latest addition to making LMU the best place to play and watch. Making up the 35-member band, with more members on the way, are LMU students from all backgrounds. The band is in its sixth year.

CHEER TEAM The Loyola Marymount University Cheer Squad became the an official varsity sport sponsored by LMU in the Summer of 2005 and are a co-ed competition team that performs annually at the USA Nationals. Serving as a “Spirit Squad” for men’s basketball when the university was known as Loyola, the current cheer team has grown to a service-oriented organization that not only appears and supports all 21 LMU athletic teams and events, but performs community service. The cheer squad has continued to impress with its overall in game routines with advanced tumbling, stunt and dance performances. In addition to providing support to the teams during the games, the squad will once again perform halftime and timeout routines. This year’s squad includes Amanda Barthel, Elise Blecker, Kristen Cirillo, Ashley Cordes, Heather Dahlgren, Jovan Dansberry, Natasha Grabowski, Lisa Green, Amber Hansen, Taylor Harvey, Penelope Horan, Brantley Jittu, Nicole Lanz, Thomas Miller, Katie Mollica, Nicole Stadell, Greeg Von Muellner, Alexis Whitesides and Kirsten Yetzke.

inside LMU history of lmu athletics:

Decades of Champions.

1890 – 1910 Then known as St. Vincent’s College, the school is known on record as having a football team and a basketball team. The year 1889 is shown to be the first game of football while the 1906 season was the first for basketball. The records show the Lions going 5-0 as a basketball team in 1906. 1910-1930 Loyola College was founded in 1911 as an outgrowth of St. Vincent’s College, the first college in Los Angeles. In 1924 the College opened a new gym on the old St. Vincent’s campus. A year later the Lions post first season with double-digit wins in basketball, going 10-7 in the 1924-25 season. Coached by Harold “Bill” Hess, the Lions had wins over Woodbury Business College, Cal Tech and the Hollywood All-Stars. In the fall of 1925, George Casey became the third head coach of St. Vincent’s, finishing his only year as coach 6-5. In 1926 the school played in its first overtime game, a 2016 loss to Whittier. They win their first overtime game a year later, a 16-14 victory against California Christian College. Then in 1928, the then Loyola College moved to its current location on the Westchester bluff and two years later became Loyola University. Loyola Law School, located in downtown Los Angeles, was founded in 1920. 1930s In the 1930s Loyola established its new campus on the bluff in Westchester while basketball greats Pete Newell and Phil Woolpert began their legendary careers as Lions. While Loyola discontinues the men’s basketball program for four seasons during the great depression, it is hockey of all sports that emerges as Loyola’s top program, thanks in large part to the use of its football players as hockey players. The first college hockey league started in 1927 and while increasing in popularity, it became part of the official athletic program of multiple southern California schools, thus the formation of the Southern California Intercollegiate Hockey League. USC dominated the league, winning 36 straight before Loyola, led by Head Coach Tom Lieb, snapped that streak on March 6 of 1932, beginning one of fiercer rivalries of its day. Then in the 1934-35 season, the Lions knocked off USC in the prestigious Yosemite Tournament for the first time and then went on to defeat the Trojans for Loyola’s first conference crown. As the league grew, the main attraction continued to be the games between Loyola and USC, “as the two teams were in a class by themselves.” The 1935-36 season was the year college hockey really caught on. The final game between Loyola and USC for the Pacific

Coast title was a double overtime thriller in front of 4,000 fans. The Lions won their second PCHC championship in a row. The Lions would then win their third league title in a row in a three-game playoff in 1937, winning two games to one. With World War II on the horizon, Loyola would drop hockey in 1941 and college hockey in Southern California would slowly break apart. 1940s In 1941, the Lions face in-town rival Pepperdine for the first time in the two program’s histories. They faced each other twice in the 1940-41 season, with Loyola winning both, 30-18 and 43-23. In that season, both Pete Newell and Phil Woolpert suited up for the Lions. The two Loyola greats went on to become legends in the coaching profession, leading college teams to NCAA National Championships. In 1948-1949, Loyola went on to its first 20-win season, posting a 22-14 record under coach Scotty McDonald. The Lions would see their longest winning streak at that time of 10 games. The season included the first game in Alumni Gymnasium, the Lions’ home until the 1981-82 season when the Lions moved to Gersten Pavilion. 1950s The 1950s started with one of best football seasons in school history as the team, led by future NFL star Don Klosterman, finished the season 8-1, losing to Santa Clara 28-26 and missing out on a trip to the Orange Bowl. Klosterman would go on to earn All-America honors in 1952. A member of that team, Bob Boyd, former Loyola football and track great, captured the 1950 NCAA men’s track championship in the 100-yard dash. He later played

seven seasons as a tight end for the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams, helping the team to the 1951 World Title. The Lions men’s basketball team advanced to their first collegiate sponsored postseason tournament, competing for the NAIA National Championship. The Lions posted a 16-9 record and were selected to participate in the NAIA Tournament where they faced San Francisco State in the first round. With a 57-56 win, the Lions moved on to face Southwestern (KS) in the second round. Southwestern won, 83-79. Then in 1956, the Lions joined the California Basketball Association, which two years later formed the West Coast Athletic Conference. Loyola finished the CBA with a 9-5 record, second in the conference.

inside LMU points, averaging 18.8 points in his career at LMU. The 1960s ended with the final curtain call of the football team as they went on to win the 1969 National Club Football National championship with an 8-1 record.

1960s In 1960, Loyola men’s basketball tied for first with a 9-3 record in the West Coast Athletic Conference. The title was shared with Santa Clara, who defeated the Lions in a playoff game to end the season. The Lions closed the regular season with eight straight wins. Then in 1961, LMU basketball had a record breaking season for the Lions, earning their second 20-win season, finishing 20-7 overall and earning their first-ever out-right WCAC title with a 10-2 mark. Loyola started the season 3-4, but responded with 17 wins in their final 20 games, including a nine-game winning streak. It was the Lions’ first trip to the NCAA tournament, a date in the Far West Regional at Portland. The Lions fell to Utah, 91-75 in the first round, and fell to the consolation bracket. Utah, who Loyola defeated in exhibition play 85-64 earlier in the season, went on to the Final Four. Loyola defeated USC, 69-67, to earn their 20th win of the season. It was head coach William Donovan’s final year at the helm of the Lions. In his eight years as coach, he earned 107 wins, the most among all LMU coaches. In 1964 Hugh Miller Foley rowed in the 1964 Olympics. He was a member of the Rowing Eight with Coxswain Team that won the Gold Medal. In 1968, NBA coach Rick Adelman finished his three-year playing career with 1,425

1970s The University merged with Marymount College to become Loyola Marymount University and in 1971 women’s athletics begins to appear as the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women is formed to plan, govern and promote the growing number of college tournaments for women athletes. That same year the fiveplayer, full-court game and the 30-second shot clock is introduced to women’s basketball. And then one year later one of the most important pieces of legislation for women’s athletics is put into place as Congress passes Title IX, setting into motion the Lions success to come in women’s sports. Title IX officially went into effect on June 21, 1975. In 1973, Marv Wood’s baseball squad brought LMU its first West Coast Conference Championship after a 13-game win streak allowed the Lions to clinch the title on the final weekend of the season over second place Santa Clara. USC knocked off the Lions and Cal State Los Angeles in the NCAA District 8 regionals and eventually won its fourth consecutive national championship. In 1976 the first full scholarship for a female is given and LMU adds its first varsity program in Women’s Tennis as alum Jamie Sanchez begins the program with a 13-6 record. They went on to win a conference championship (AIAW), the first in women’s programs at LMU. They went 10-0 and won the title in 1977 and 1978 as they combined for a record of 28-2 in conference play. 1980s The decade started with men’s basketball earning a bid to the NCAA West Regional, losing to Arizona State in the first round, 99-71.

Women (AIAW) is dissolved. In Women’s Tennis, the Lions finished 12th in the nation in their division as Debbie Delgado is first recipient of All-American status. Paul Sunderland, who played both volleyball and basketball at LMU, went on to earn All-America honors in volleyball at LMU and then played 10 years of the U.S. National Volleyball Team, earning U.S. Player of the Year honors three times (1978, 79, 82). He played in the 1978 and 1982 World Championships and then as a member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic Team, he helped the team to the Gold Medal. Paul Westhead is hired as head coach of the men’s basketball team, replacing Ed Goorjian, who coached from 1980-1985. In his first season, he leads the Lions back to the postseason for the first time since 1980. In 1985, US International and LMU begin a four-year series that would result in the highest scoring games in NCAA history. After defeating USIU 84-65 in January of 1985, the “track meets” would begin. In Westhead’s first season in 1985-86, the Lions would defeat USIU 151-107. The 1986 LMU baseball team had the best season in program history. It was also one of the best overall seasons of all time for LMU Athletics. Following a 1985 season in which the Lions did not have a winning record at 27-28, the program performed one of the best turnarounds in LMU athletics history. They finished the season with a program-best 50 wins and wrapped up the season at 50-15, a 23-game improvement from the previous year. LMU produced a 13-game winning streak from March 21 through April 11, and won 20 of 21 games in the middle of the season. With the winning streak came the nation’s top ranking by the ESPN/Collegiate Baseball National Poll. The Lions never looked back, finishing tied with Pepperdine for first place in the West Coast Athletic Conference at 19-5, setting up a one game playoff to determine the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Regional. Played at Jackie Robinson Stadium on the campus of UCLA, the Lions defeated the Waves 14-9 to earn the bid to the NCAA West Regional. LMU would reel off its next four games, fighting through four separate elimination games to earn a bid to the school’s first appearance in the College World Series. On May 30, the Lions opened up their first World Series trip with a 4-3 win over perennial power LSU, to earn a two-day rest and play in the winner’s bracket. The Lions played the University of Arizona on June 2 and lost a heartbreaker 7-5 to drop to the elimination bracket to face Oklahoma State. The Cowboys were too much for the Lions, as they went on to an 11-5 win. Tim Layana was a member of the 1990 World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds. The Lions would return to the postseason in 1987, 1988 and 1989.

Then in 1981, with the opportunity for women to compete at the collegiate level, LMU athletes waste no time in making their mark. Therese Kozlowski ran a time of 17:34.9 to win the 1981 AIAW Individual National Championship in cross country while women’s volleyball begins as a varsity program at LMU with the NCAA hosting as a championship in 1981. The banner year continued as the Women’s Rowing Varsity Four team won the 1980-81 National Championship and the brand new Gersten Pavilion opened as home to the Lions and went on to host events with the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The year prior to the Olympics, the NCAA takes over women’s sports as Concluding the 1985-86 season, men’s basketball the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for found themselves in the NIT for the first time in school LMU Women’s Volleyball

The Lions finished 20-11 on the season, following a 120-101 loss to Arkansas in the first round of the NCAA tournament in the Midwest Region held at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. The 1980s would conclude with another national title as the women’s rowing varsity four took home their second national championship.

history. Traveling to Berkeley, Calif., to face the Bears in the first round, the Lions would begin a successful end to the 1980s decade that made a habit of winning in the postseason. The Lions defeated Cal 80-75 to advance in a postseason tournament. LMU would fall to Wyoming 99-90 to end Westhead’s first season at 19-11 and 10-4 in the WCAC (second). Also in 1986, the women’s volleyball team won the WCC and advance to the NCAAs, where they topped UCLA in first round action before falling to Stanford in the second round. The Lions finished the 1986 season 24-8 and 10-2 in WCC play in their final season under Coach Nancy Fortner. One year later, the Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble era of Lions’ basketball began with a 114-78 win over Tennessee Tech. The season would finish as the Lions’ best in winning percentage, finishing with a 28-4 mark and a perfect 14-0 in the WCAC. The 1987-88 season would include a 25-game winning streak, the best in school history. The fast-break offense began to take hold, as the Lions scored in triple figures in all but nine of their 32 games. The Lions would clinch their first WCAC regular season championship since the ‘60s and their first Tournament Championship with a 104-96 win over Santa Clara in the WCAC Championship game. LMU advances to the NCAA tournament, and earns its first win in the “Big Dance,” a 119-115 win over Wyoming, who two years earlier knocked the Lions out of the NIT. Playing in the West Sub-Regional in Salt Lake City, Utah, LMU would be a surprise opponent in the second round against power North Carolina. The Tar Heels would dismiss the Lions 123-97.

1990 The 1990s started the way the 80s ended, fast. In addition to their 28 games scoring in triple digits, men’s basketball earned its third straight WCC title and trip to the NCAA tournament. In finishing 26-6, the Lions advanced further than any team in school history by reaching the Elite Eight in the NCAA Championships. However, tragedy marked the Lions’ cinderella run. On March 4, 1990 in the second round of the WCC Tournament, the Lions took a 25-13 lead on Portland following All-American Hank Gathers’ dunk on an alley-oop from Terrell Lowery. Gathers would collapse to the floor and would not regain consciousness. Gathers would be pronounced dead later that evening at Marina del Rey’s Daniel Freeman Hospital. The WCC Tournament would be cancelled and the Lions would be named champion, earning the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. A long shot and seeded No. 11 in the West Region, the Lions went on to beat New Mexico State, defending national champion Michigan and Alabama before falling to the eventual national champions, UNLV, 131-101. The run in the 1990 tournament will long be remembered, however, with the image of Gathers’ teammate and longtime friend Bo Kimble shooting the first free throw left-handed - a switch from his normal right-handed shot. Kimble made every shot he took left-handed.

director of athletics

Dr. William S. Husak F

or Dr. William S. Husak life is all about family and his 12 years as the Athletics Director at Loyola Marymount University reflects his familyfirst approach to life. And that approach has brought success never before seen at LMU. Since taking over the program in 1998, the Lions’ success has been some of the best in program history, Husak firmly believes the program has “just scratched the surface.” His administrative efforts have focused on developing a family of coaches, support staff and administrators who believe that LMU’s athletics program can be among the elite in the nation. This period of time has been marked by enhancing the support of the athletic teams through the new and updated facilities, increased scholarship and operational support and enhancing the coaching and support staff. The past 12 years have been some of the most successful seasons in school history as the Lions won over 54 percent of its dual competitions in that span and claimed the school’s first ever Commissioner’s Cup in 2006. Since 1998, LMU has claimed 26 conference championships and 32 NCAA postseason appearances. Off the field, the Lions have had a 65 percent increase in national scholar-athletes as 208 claimed the honor in the 2008-09 academic year. Husak attributes the current success and the future growth of the program to the staff that is in place. Since he took over the program, the coaching and administrative staffs that lend support to the more than 450 studentathletes has more than doubled in size. A full-time head coach will lead 19 of the varsity sports sponsored at LMU. When Husak took over, only nine of the programs were led by full-time coaches. In addition, support for the student-athletes was enhanced with the addition of 10 brand new staff positions, which included an athletic academic coordinator, marketing/promotions manager, ticket manager, corporate relations manager, two assistant athletic trainers, a two strength and conditioning assistant coaches, a assistant complaince director and an assistant media relations director. The final major piece to LMU Athletics’ growth and success has been Husak’s commitment to facilities. Since he has taken over, $30 million has been

put into athletic facilities. That list includes the Burns Aquatics Center, which was used as host to the 2002 and 2006 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships. It has been the only time LMU has hosted an NCAA championship. Facility enhancements have also included the brand new Smith Field (softball), Thomas Higgins Short Game Center (golf), the Morris A. Pivaroff and George P. Kading Tournament Court (tennis), and the Jane Browne Bove Boathouse. LMU’s existing facilties have also seen their share of growth, including new bleachers and scoreboard to Sullivan Field (soccer), Mikos Blue Monster and Pride Park to Page Stadium (baseball), and a new sound system, floor and bleachers in Gersten Pavilion. More is on its way as the University committed more than 7,000 square feet for coaches office at the Leavey Center. In addition, plans for the next 18 months include a new weight training facility with locker room and storage space and new locker room suites in Gersten Pavilion, including new stateof-the-art areas for men’s and women’s basketball. Husak comes from a long and accomplished background as an administrator, fundraiser and professor during a 19-year career at California State University, Long Beach. Between 1993-1998, he served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director and was mainly responsible for Athletics fundraising. While at CSULB between 1983 and 1997, Husak served as an assistant commissioner for the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). Between 1986 and 1993 he served as chairman of CSULB’s physical education department. As an associate professor of physical education at CSULB between 1979 and 1986, he established the university’s Motor Behavior Laboratory. A 1972 graduate of State University of New York (SUNY) at Cortland, Husak holds a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Physical Education from Texas A&M University. He and his wife of 38 years, Tish, live in Long Beach and have three sons, Greg, Todd and Jon.

The Eligibility Center evaluates your academic records as well as your amateurism status to determine whether or not you are eligibile to play Division I or II sports. You will be required to designate all high schools you have attended and answer a series of questions relating to your status as an amateur. Once you’ve completed the registration and answered the amateurism questions, you will need to have each of the high schools you have attended supply an official copy of your transcripts directly to the Eligibility Center. You will also need to arrange to have your standardized test scores sent directly from the testing agency to the NCAA Eligibility Center. This Basic information Questions?

You become a “recruited prospective student-athlete” at a particular college if any coach approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches that cause you to become a recruited prospective studentathlete are: (1) providing you with an official visit; (2) placing more than one telephone call to you or any other member of your family; or (3) visiting you or any other member of your family anywhere other than the college campus; or (4) issuing to you a National Letter of Intent or written offer of athletically related financial aid. Boosters: In addition to general recruiting regulations, no alumni, boosters or representatives of a college’s athletics interests can be involved in your recruitment. There can be no phone calls or letters from boosters. If an LMU booster is contacting you, please call the LMU Compliance Office as soon as possible at (310) 338-7789.

Los Angeles

Home of the Lions

rab your sunscreen and your towel, because LA has more than 50 miles of coastline and 33 public beaches, so you can always find a stretch of sand to snatch and plenty of waves to catch. But don’t forget your appetite, an extra suitcase and a sense of adventure, because LA’s coastal cities are more than just a bunch of pretty places. From the quiet enclaves of Playa del Rey and Marina del Rey just minutes from the LMU campus, to the funky ambience of Venice with its offbeat street performers, each of these waterfront wonders offers its own personality and its own take on dining, shopping, attractions and activities. Where to Eat: Coastal Cuisine Got a hankering for fresh seafood? How about a healthy entrée salad? Or a greasy burger? Our beach cities have them all. Representing diverse coastal cuisine is the spruced-up Mexican fare of celebrity chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, hosts of the Food Network’s “Too Hot Tamales,” at Border Grill Santa Monica. For even more celebrity watching, head to The Lobster in Santa Monica or Geoffrey’s on the beach in Malibu. Artist types like the Asian fusion cuisine at Chaya Venice, where local artists, musicians and movie industry moguls hang out. Meanwhile, couples enjoy romantic dinners overlooking the marina and its million-dollar yachts at Café del Rey in Marina del Rey. More casual fare can be had at a number of local hot dog and hamburger stands. And several eateries at San Pedro’s Ports O’ Call Village serve up freshly caught seafood cooked on outdoor grills.

Where to Shop: Retail Therapy If you’re looking for that perfect bathing suit or pair of sunglasses or a chic, antique accent table for your living room, you’ve come to the right place. Head to Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade for several pedestrian-only blocks full of well-known retailers such as Pottery Barn and Urban Outfitters, as well as one-of-the-kind shops, plus three multiplex cinemas and a slew of restaurants, cafes and bars. Nearby, the hottest celebs — Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gwyneth Paltrow and George Clooney among them — shop at Fred Segal. Equally alluring is Montana Avenue, where you’ll find high-end designer boutiques, including some that are owned by celebrity clans. And if it’s quirky you want, go straight to Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice for antiques, vintage clothing, funky collectibles and locally created art — all set in the neighborhood’s laid-back beach atmosphere. What to See: Fabled Attractions When you get tired of sunbathing and surfing, there’s always something fun to do. For classic serenity, visit the Getty Villa, presiding on a promontory overlooking the ocean on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. It recently reopened after nearly a decade of renovations and has an exquisite permanent exhibition of Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities. Partake in good old-fashioned fun and take a ride on the 1916, fully restored carousel inside a National Historic Landmark hippodrome building on the Santa Monica Pier. The pier also is home to Pacific Park, where you can hop onto a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster and other rides and play arcade games over Santa Monica Bay.

Just south of the pier, there’s plenty to gawk at along the Venice Beach boardwalk, from the off-the-wall street performers on Ocean Front Walk, to the washboard stomachs and bulging biceps at the Muscle Beach outdoor gym. Or rent some skates and draw some of your own attention. If you’re farther south, visit the spectacular wood and glass Wayfarers Chapel, designed by Lloyd Wright, Frank’s son, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean just south of Palos Verdes. While you’re in the area, stop by the pristine Trump National Golf Club for a round of golf and breathtaking views. If it’s family fun you’re looking for, you can get an up-close-and-personal look at the Pacific Ocean’s inhabitants at the Aquarium of the Pacific on Rainbow Harbor in Long Beach. In San Pedro, the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium recently had a $10 million facelift and features a hands-on Exploration Center and an aquatic nursery. While you’re in San Pedro, catch the fantastic views from Point Fermin Lighthouse, one of LA’s most historic landmarks. Or better yet, take a stroll on the new San Pedro Waterfront Promenade, lined with magnolias, peppermint trees and colorful gardens. If you’d rather be on the water, you can take a cruise with Hornblower Cruises & Events in Marina del Rey or with Spirit Cruises & Yacht Parties in San Pedro. Dinner cruises are available, and if you want to celebrate a special occasion with 40 to 400 of your closest friends, you can charter yachts from Hornblower, Spirit or FantaSea Yachts & Yacht Club. You can even get away to Catalina, the “island of romance,” in less than an hour and a half from San Pedro or Long Beach via the Catalina Express ferry. Where to Stay: Hot, Hip Hotels After a day in the sun, there are plenty of places to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Santa Monica Beach is virtually the backyard of Shutters on the Beach and Casa Del Mar. Just steps away are Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel and Le Merigot, a JW Marriott Beach Hotel and Spa. Nearby, the Viceroy Santa Monica is a hip, urban, boutique retreat, while the historic Fairmont Miramar Hotel Santa Monica. For a little vintage style, stay at Venice Beach Suites & Hotel, right in the midst of Venice’s bustling scene. Farther south, the Marina del Rey Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey overlook thousands of yachts moored in one of the world’s largest man-made recreational marinas.
