2010 California Lacrosse Outlook
I
Cal Looks for New Start
t is a new era for California lacrosse. After an eventful offseason, the Golden Bears face a new season with a group of 13 newcomers in 2010 and have a shot at what would be the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth: This year, the winner of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament earns a spot in an NCAA playin game against the Atlantic-10 Tournament champion. Theresa Sherry, now in her third year as Cal’s head coach, is optimistic about what her team can do in 2010, after her 2009 Bears produced an 8-11 overall record and a 4-2 conference record. “We’re really excited about this year’s team,” she said. “It’s a young group. I would characterize our 2010 team as a group that has a lot of speed, and with youth comes a lot of energy. Our senior class has stepped into some great leadership roles. They were high performers their junior year, and they have become complete players and leaders, both on and off the field. We’re really excited to mesh that leadership group from people who have stepped up in the sophomore and junior class to emerge as leaders with the talented freshmen.” The team chose senior midfielder Alex Tickner and junior goalkeeper Allie Shropshire as its co-captains this season. “They both did a great job pushing the team this fall,” Sherry said. “Allie has really stepped into a leadership role in the goal. She has improved her game on the field, and that’s enabled her to take a more vocal role with her teammates, directing and being sort of that field general that we need. Alex has always been a fierce leader, but now she’s found a way to really get more of her teammates to follow her intensity. She’s found a real positive and caring side that has really helped her be that nurturing mentor to the underclassmen in addition to being a motivator.” Cal will need all its veterans to help guide the freshmen and one junior transfer (Alyssa Kovach from Boston University) on the roster. Other notable newcomers include freshman attacker Clemmy Little, the sister of former Cal defender Ghillie Little, and freshman midfielder Camilla Hayes. A product of Kent, England, Hayes is the first foreign player of the Cal program. “Something that has always characterized our team is that we’ve had people from all over the place, and now it’s not just from all over the country but from all over the world,” Sherry said. “Camilla has added a different

kind of sense of humor to the team, and I think that she’s added an intensity to the team as well. She’s made a huge commitment to come over here, to play and attend school. She’s also someone who’s part of the English national team program, so she adds that piece of international experience. There’s something that she’s going for that’s beyond this experience.” The Bears were tested off the field during the offseason with the sudden ailments of Tighe Hutchins, a midfielder who had been gearing for her final season in Berkeley. While Hutchins in not officially a member of the 2010 squad and is recuperating back home in Baltimore, Md., she is still in the thoughts of her erstwhile teammates. Her experience has also served to contribute to team chemistry. “Our girls are very much in close contact with her, especially the seniors,” Sherry said. “We’ll miss her leadership and her game sense. She had a very good ability to mentor not only younger players but also her peers and her classmates. We miss that a lot, but she did something that no coach could really do: She brought this group together better than my staff ever could have. Our freshmen got to see right away how well their teammates take care of each other. Everybody figured out whatever reserves they need, whether it’s in their training or in their personal lives, and that they could dig deeper and do more.”
California Golden Bears Lacrosse
Nineteen of the 28 players on the 2010 squad are underclassmen, including the 13 freshmen. Five starters – goalkeeper Morgan Dyson, defenders Ghillie Little and Stephanie Smith, midfielder Elizabeth T Jahp and attacker Sam Price – are gone from last year’s team. Much of the team’s scoring will come from the midfield. Three of the four top scorers from 2009 are back, and all three play in midfield, including Alex Tickner, who ranked second in scoring last season with 40 points, senior Alyse Kennedy (39 points, 3rd in 2009) and sophomore Vail Horn (28, 4th). It remains to be seen which Bears will fill the low attack roles, though junior Nellie Hayes is one option. Other players expected to play up front include senior Catie O’Mahoney, sophomore Tara Arolla, sophomore Allie Welsh and freshman Alexa Rozelle. O’Mahoney and Arolla tied for seventh in points (13) and ranked Nos. 6-7 in goals (13 and 9), respectively, in 2009. A former defender, O’Mahoney posted career highs in points, goals and assists (2) after playing in a career-high 16 games and 10 starts. Arolla was one of the most accurate Bears, as 13 of her 14 shots were shots on goal (.929 SOG percentage). The midfield is arguably the strongest area of the field for Cal. Besides housing some of Cal’s best scorers, the midfield features some of the most improved defensive players on the roster, including Tickner, Kennedy and sophomore Vail Horn. Last year, Horn became one of just eight Bears who scored more than 20 goals as a freshman when she struck for 25. “I think Vail’s going to explode this year because she’s become more of a complete player, doing a lot better on the defensive end in addition to being that fast-break attacker for us,” Sherry said. “We have Lauren Johnson back from an ACL injury, and then freshmen Megan Takacs and Melissa Humphrey will see a lot of time.” Junior Chapin Jackson is Cal’s utility player who could excel in the defense and, as one of the Bears’ most poised attacking players, in midfield. Camilla Hayes should also see time as a freshman in Cal’s midfield. Senior DennaFaye Herald will marshal the defense and play more in the back than she did as a junior, when she spent some time in midfield. Herald, Cal’s top match-up
defender, posted career highs in goals (5), assists (9) and points (14) in 2009. Along with Jackson, Cal’s other defensive options include sophomores Tori Harrison, Melissa Sheehan and members of the freshman class. After spending two years backing up Morgan Dyson, Shropshire gets the nod as the starting goalkeeper as a junior. The Medford, N.J., product has played in 22 games, including nine last year, and started five times, all as a freshman. “Allie has always been strong outside the cage because she is a true athlete and grew up as a soccer player as well,” Sherry said. “She really focused on her hand speed and making saves between the pipes more consistently. I think really finding that consistency is what we were looking for from her, and we hope that continues on into the spring season.”
Senior DennaFaye Herald is Cal's top match-up defender.
MPSF Coaches Pick Cal Third Cal hopes its spring season includes the NCAA play-in game, which the MPSF Tournament champion hosts against the Atlantic-10 champ. Generally one of the stronger teams in the short history of the MPSF, Cal has appeared in three of the six conference finals and won the first championship in 2004. Last
year, Cal earned a No. 3 tournament seed, and the Bears parlayed that into their latest appearance in the MPSF finale. The conference coaches picked Cal to finish third in this year’s preseason MPSF Coaches’ Poll, with defending MPSF champi-
on Stanford taking the top spot and Oregon, a 2009 conference tourney semifinalist, selected second. Stanford is one of four Cal opponents nationally ranked in the Inside Lacrosse Magazine preseason top-20 poll. Cal will play all four of those teams at California Memorial Stadium; three of the four games will take place over a two-week period. The Bears open at home against No. 19 Ohio State on Feb. 26 and then play No. 1 and five-time defending NCAA champion Northwestern on Feb. 28. After playing unranked Davidson on March 2, Cal hosts No. 8 Notre Dame on March 13. The Bears later renew their rivalry with 13th-ranked Stanford on April 4 in Berkeley. “I don’t put a lot of stake in the preseason rankings and preseason players of the year,” Sherry said. “It’s going to be a battle this year in our conference. It doesn’t matter on paper who’s supposed to win or produce a lot of stats because I think in any given game, anything can happen. Especially with the NCAA play-in game, anything can happen this year. It’s going to be a battle to the finish in every single regular-season game, and the conference tournament is going to be a fight to the end as well.”

California Head Coach Theresa Sherry Head Coach Princeton ’04 3rd Year at Cal
Theresa Sherry, a former Princeton All-American who served as an assistant coach at California during the 2007 season, was named the head lacrosse coach at California in the summer of 2007. In her first year in charge, Sherry was named the 2008 MPSF Coach of the Year after leading the Golden Bears to a 9-9 overall record, which was an improvement on each of the previous two seasons’ records, a 4-1 conference mark and six conference players of the week. She led the Bears to an 8-11 record in 2009, after playing a difficult schedule that

included national powers such as No. 1 and perennial NCAA champion Northwestern, Penn, Notre Dame and Ohio State. Cal also produced a 4-2 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation record and earned a berth in the MPSF Tournament final. Prior to joining Cal, Sherry served as an assistant coach at Amherst College for the 2006 season while also working as a television commentator for ESPNU for multiple women’s lacrosse matches. She earned her bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Princeton in 2004. In addition to earning first-team AllAmerican honors as a player in 2002, 2003 and 2004, Sherry was a finalist for the Tewaaraton Trophy as the nation’s top women’s lacrosse player as a senior in 2004. She helped the Princeton Tigers to NCAA championships in both 2002 and 2003. Her Princeton teams also reached the NCAA semifinals in 2001 and the final in 2004. The Tigers captured Ivy League Championships in each of her four seasons at the school. A four-time All-Ivy League selection, she was the conference’s Player of the Year in 2004. Sherry was also a four-year letterwinner for the Princeton women’s soccer team, serving as a team captain and helping the

program to three Ivy League Championships. The multisport athlete later played soccer for the Western Massachusetts Lady Pioneers of the amateur W-League and was named the 15th-greatest athlete at Princeton in a Daily Princetonian article in 2006. The Baltimore, Md., product has extensive international lacrosse experience as she competed with the United States Developmental Team in 2004 and 2005 and helped the U.S. Under-19 Team to the World Championship in 1999, earning player of the game honors in the championship game. The Golden Bears completed the 2007 season with a 7-10 record. As a Cal assistant coach, Sherry was in charge of the midfielders in particular and in charge of improving the fundamental skills of the team as a whole. Former Bears coach Jill Malko credits Sherry with helping to improve the games of former stars Laura Cavallo, who left as Cal’s all-time leading scorer, and Liz Reifsnyder, who left ranked No. 2 on Cal’s all-time assist list.
Golden Bear Assistant Coaches Julia Southard Assistant Coach Brown ’05 3rd Year at Cal
Julia Southard joined Cal in the summer of 2007 and brings extensive knowledge of the defensive and goalkeeping areas of the game to the Golden Bears. Formerly an assistant coach at La Salle, Southard was an All-Ivy goalie at Brown who competed against Cal head coach Theresa Sherry when the latter played at Princeton. At La Salle, Southard was the second assistant in 2006 and the first assistant in 2007. She worked closely with the defense and goalkeepers and with recruiting with the Explorers. A 2005 graduate of Brown University with a B.A. in history, Southard joined the collegiate coaching ranks following a successful lacrosse career at Brown. A vocal and intense leader, she was selected as a captain to her young squad during her senior campaign. She posted her best numbers, finishing with a save percentage of .502, making 137 saves, including one shutout. Southard finished third on the team in groundballs. For her work, she earned second-team All-Ivy League honors.
Before Brown, Southard attended Manhasset High School in Long Island. There she was a three-sport athlete. She earned AllAmerican honors in her junior and senior years. She was selected to play on the eventual gold medal winning team at the Empire State Games and was selected to the all-tournament team. A native of Manhasset, N.Y., Southard served as the Director of Goalie Operations at the Brown University Camp in 2005. In addition, she has served as a camp counselor at several camps across the country.
Nikki Lieb Assistant Coach Virginia ’07 1st Year at Cal
Former Virginia AllAmerican and 2009 U.S. World Cup alternate Nikki Lieb joined the Cal coaching staff in September of 2009. Lieb, a finalist for the 2006 Tewaaraton Trophy as a senior, led Virginia to the 2004 NCAA championship and earned three first-team All-American honors (2004-06) as a Cavalier. Lieb is involved with player development and game management for Cal’s midfielders and defenders. She will also have significant
recruiting responsibilities throughout the year. A U.S. national team member in 2007 and 2008, Lieb was one of six alternates for the U.S. team that won the World Cup this past June in Prague. Her sister, Jessica Lieb, was also an alternate for the U.S. team. The 2007 Virginia graduate had worked since ’07 for the U.S. Golf Association as an assistant coordinator in vendor relations. Prior to that, Lieb, who has a master’s degree of teaching in elementary education from UVa, taught in Charlottesville, Va., public schools for a year. Lieb, who also played soccer for the Cavs, worked Virginia women’s soccer and lacrosse camps in 2005-06 and in U.S. national team clinics in 2007-08. She led the Cavs’ lacrosse team to Atlantic Coast Conference championships in 2004 and 2006 and was a captain of the ’06 team. Lieb, who played in midfield and in defense at UVa, finished her college career with 136 draw controls (ranking second in school history at the time), 83 caused turnovers (7th in school history) and 189 ground balls (15th). Just as fellow Cal assistant coach Julia Southard played against Theresa Sherry during their college days, Lieb played against Sherry when the latter starred at Princeton. Lieb’s Virginia team beat Sherry’s Princeton team for the NCAA championship in 2004, while Sherry’s Tigers defeated Lieb’s Cavaliers for the 2003 national title.

Strength & Conditioning
A
n integral part of Cal Lacrosse is the strength and conditioning program. The program’s philosophy is geared towards helping each student-athlete achieve the highest level of athletic development. By teaching how all the components of strength and conditioning fit together, student-athletes understand how to maximize force production. This includes enhancement of speed, strength and flexibility, which results in improved power. Motivating, educating and helping to reach maximum athletic development is the primary focus of the Cal program. The Cal weight room in Memorial Stadium includes eight Olympic platforms, more than 15,000 pounds of Olympic bars and bumper plates, and an array of aerobic and anaerobic equipment. The picturesque facility offers panoramic views of the entire region, including San Francisco and the Bay. Originally opened in Memorial Stadium in 1983 as part of the Cal Sports 80s facility project, the facility now has expanded to more than 5,000-square feet of space for Cal’s football team and other athletic squads. The training regimen at Cal is a year-round process that emphasizes speed, strength and flexibility. With closely monitored workouts that involve a great deal of individual instruction and
attention, student-athletes are taught the correct techniques to increase their ability to perform at their peak during competition. Cal’s program stresses comprehensive training in order to improve both strength and speed. Flexibility is a key component because it is essential for proper lifting. It also improves the running mechanics needed for acceleration and deceleration, both essential for playing lacrosse. Zacary Conner Athlete workouts are closely monitored Strength & by the conditioning staff, which works in colConditioning laboration with the entire sports medicine team (doctors, athletic trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, etc.) to ensure the health and safety of all of the studentathletes. In this way, Cal’s strength and conditioning program is a vital component linking the “full circle” of a student-athlete’s physical development from conditioning through rehabilitation and re-conditioning.

SAN FRANCISCO
Frank Gore
Located across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, Oakland is a city of over 400,000, jam-packed with exciting attractions, stimulating arts and an ideal climate. Oakland’s charm exceeds its man-made wonders, as its tumbling hills, vast forests, hiking and riding trails, beautiful lakes and numerous parks provide a natural escape for those who prefer nature over an urban environment. Berkeley, just a 12-mile drive from San Francisco, is situated on 17.7 square miles with a population of just under 103,000 people. A study in contrasts, Berkeley is a small town with a big city character. With its world-renowned university, global population and rich diversity of cultural arts, Berkeley reflects and affects the rest of the country.
Sports fans can see it all in the Bay Area - professional football (San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders), professional basketball (Golden State Warriors), professional baseball (San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics), professional hockey (San Jose Sharks) and outstanding collegiate competition (six Division I schools).

the future...
Student-Athlete High Performance Center
Memorial Stadium Renovation
The Student-Athlete High Performance Center, now under construction, is expected to be completed prior to the 2011 season. The 142,000 square foot facility will house locker rooms, offices and meeting rooms, as well as areas for strength and conditioning, sports medicine, nutrition and academics for football and 12 other intercollegiate sports. The building is the physical manifestation of Cal’s High Performance Initiative, a unique program that challenges student-athletes to reach their level of optimal performance through strategic and efficient application of resources. Using cutting-edge technology and a multidisciplinary approach, the cornerstone principles of the HPI are communication, integration and information.
Memorial Stadium, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful settings for collegiate football, was originally constructed with funds donated by alumni, faculty, students and fans. At the time, Robert Gordon Sproul, who became UC president in 1930, said that the stadium “stands in simple dignity, beauty and strength.” Now, plans are being finalized to renovate the 86-year-old structure, starting with the west side, to create programmatic, game day and fan amenity improvements while respecting the architecture and character of the historic structure. Donors have demonstrated their backing of the privatelyfunded project through their commitment to the Endowment Seat Program (ESP), a first-of-its-kind effort in major college athletics to secure the financial future for the Athletic Department. ESP will provide a long-term, sustaining endowment that could grow to $1 billion over the next 30 years and will be used to fund annual operating needs for Cal’s studentathletes.
