IT’S WHO YOU ARE WITH

Looking for camaraderie? When it comes to providing friends and mentors, you won’t find a uni-

ve r s i ty surpassing LMU. The campus population

The highly diverse student population includes nearly 1,000 Asians, nearly 500 African Americans, and about 1,400 Latinos. Ninety-one percent of the University's first-year students had a high school GPA of 3.0 or better (based on 2001-02 figures). The student-faculty ratio is 12.8 to 1. Altogether, LMU students received about $65 million in financial aid, including $17 million allocated by LMU. Founding Communities: Society of Jesus (Jesuits); The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (Marymount Sisters); The Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange (CSJ) Enrollment (Fall 2003): Undergraduate 5,465, Graduate 1,639, Law School 1,377 Faculty: Full-time Faculty (Fall 2003) -- 369; Total Full-time and Part-time Staff -- Westchester 709; Law School campus- 130 Student Housing: 16 Residence Halls for 2,898

comes from all 50 states and 70 countries. Better still, LMU offers more than 100 extra c u r r i c u l a r organizations that hone the students skills and help them find like-minded colleagues for life. Whatever the religious belief, the unive r s i ty pay s attention to individual spirit. “I’ve thought a lot about what makes my friends at college different that those from high school, and I’ve realized that the people at LMU live up to the mission of being men and women for others,” said a sophomore. Students are free to examine faith in social or service activities. IT’S WHERE YOU LIVE Every fall, nine out of 10 first-year students take a d vantage of LMU housing and for some very good reasons. Some of the benefits of LMU 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 unive r s i ty 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. IT’S WHERE YOU’RE BOUND “We’re tr ying to get rid of yo u ,” so 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.

The Colleges VIEW TO A PROMISING FUTURE

T

he Chronicle of Higher Education notes that at Jesuit institutions, this precept “tra n s l a t e s into a large amount of individual attention from faculty members and accessibility to high-leve l a d m i n i s t rators, including the president.” At LMU, students don’t simply benefit from cura personalis; they practice it, too, carrying out the Jesuit ideal of “men and women for others.” The Marymount sisters contribute a history of educating women and teaching through the arts, with a deliberately international perspective that encourages respect for all cultur es. LMU brings these gifts together in five colleges: Business Administra t i o n , Communications and Fine Arts, Film and Television, Liberal Arts, and Science and Engineering. • Under the direction of awa r d -winning entrepreneurship professor Fred Kiesner, for instance, students in our COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION participate in an internship program that places them with social entrepreneurs who are working to better society. “More and more, students are saying, ‘Hey, I can use my abilities to do good for others by doing business,” said K iesner. • From their first year, engineering majors in our COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING address real-world design challenges, like devising plans for improving LMU’s traffic flow. “The project t a kes a lot of creativity and some pretty complex problem-solving,” says associate dean Tom Calder. “During students’ presentations, we’ve had the University ’s V.P. for facilities sit in to listen to their ideas and offer professional feedback.”

• Students in the SCHOOL OF FILM AND T E L E V ISION produce their own short films and TV pilots, with acting and music often supplied by student performers from our COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION AND FINE ARTS. When our talent pool can’t accommodate them, Hollywood can. “For my junior thesis, I teamed up with two other people to make a two-part, 10-minute sitcom,” says a TV production major. “We developed an idea and asked a senior in screenw r i t i n g to write a script. When it came to casting, we ran an ad in Backstage West and received 300 head shots. It was like a real casting audition.”

• At LMU, real-world experiences benefits any discipline-even literature. Students in the BELLARMINE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS don’t just read Jack Kerouac. They go on the road. English professor Kelly Younger explains: “I teach a course called Road Read in which we study not only the literature of Los Angeles and California, but also the city itself as text. After reading Nathanael We s t’s The Day of Locust, we take a walking tour of downtown L.A., focusing on the architecture of the 1920s and 30s. We read Kerouac’s Big Sur and drive up the coast, spending a week reading, writing and sharing on the intellectual adventure. HONORS PROGRAM • The Unive r s i ty Honors Program provides an intensive and innova t i ve academic experience for the serious student. The program combines four interdisciplinary Unive r s i ty Honors core courses with an intensive ye a r-long sequence in writing, critical thinking and American Cultures. A second ye a r-long sequence in the history of civilization and a course in natural philosophy are also a part of the curriculum. All honors students are required to display proficiency in a foreign language, take an upper-division ethics course, an interdisciplinary seminar in the junior ye a r and a senior thesis. Interested students should apply to the Unive r s i ty Honors Director.

Academic Support T

he Student-Athlete Academic Center exists to support all student-athletes in their goals of getting a degree on time, maintaining athletic eligibility, and preparing for life after LMU. The Academic Center provides guidance and counseling from the moment a recruit first walks on to the campus to the moment a student-athlete graduates. TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE LMU has a proud reputation of academic excellence among its athletes. According to the 2003 NCAA Graduation-Rate Report, the LMU athletic department posted a rate of 85 percent for all athletes exhausting their eligibility and a rate of 73 percent for those receiving athletics aid. LMU student-athletes consistently graduate at a higher rate than the entire student body. ACADEMIC SERVICES The Academic Center is housed in Gersten Pavilion, providing academic support for the 350+ athletes in 18 sports. The staff consists of the Academic Coordinator and a Graduate Assistant, who monitor the progress of student-athletes, ensure timely graduation, and assist in degree preparation. In addition, the academic support staff offers a variety of other services, including:

T

he 2005-06 academic year will mark the 99th year of competition in intercollegiate athletics for the Loyola Marymount University Athletics Department. Just one year shy of a century, the LMU Lions have had some memorable moments in the world of collegiate athletics, showing they have been “Building Champions� for nearly a century.

A lot has changed since 1906 when LMU, then known as St. Vincent's College, began fielding a basketball team. The initial season of LMU athletics offered a glimpse of things to come as the Lions posted a 5-0 record in that first season. Since that time, LMU has grown considerably and offers a diverse range of 18 varsity sports, 16 of which compete at the Division I level within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Twelve sports, including baseball, men's and women's basketball, women's crew, men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's tennis and women's volleyball, compete in the prestigious West Coast Conference. In addition, women's swimming participates in the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference and men and women's water polo compete in the Western Water Polo Association. Women's softball competes in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference to round out the 16 programs competing at the NCAA D-I level. Men's crew is affiliated with the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association and the LMU cheer program was added as a varsity sport in 2005. The success of Lion Athletics has never been stronger, claiming some its crowning moments since 2000. For the second year in a row LMU combined to send five teams to their respective NCAA postseason tournaments, and since the start of the 21st century, the Lions have sent 20 teams to the NCAA tournament while winning 14 conference championships in the process. With the success, 39 individual student-athletes have earned All-America honors since 2000. Of late the women's water polo program has burst onto the scene, winning five straight Western Water Polo Association Championships and making five consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament. Their second place finish in the 2004 NCAAs and final No. 2 ranking in the polls was the best finish ever by an LMU program. 1986 World Series

Add men's water polo and their three championships in the last four years, the water polo program as a whole has become one of the best with eight championships since 2001. Putting together a string of titles is not new for the Lions. Prior to women's water polo and their string, baseball and volleyball had been the standard bearer for consecutive titles. Baseball did it from 19982000 while women's volleyball did it from 1994-1996.

One of the most memorable runs in NCAA history was that of the Pa u l Westhead lead men's basketball programs from 1985-1990. The Lions won two WCC tournament titles, and two regular season titles. As the Lions set the all-time NCAA DivisionI record with 122.4 points per game in 1990, it was the people that made the Lions special. Playing for fallen teammate Hank Gathers, who died of a heart condition while playing for the Lions in the WCC tournament in 1990, the Lions did the impossible with a run at the NCAA Tournament, reaching the Elite Eight and capturing the hearts of the nation.

Bo Kimble

Sarah Noriega

What Bo Kimble, Hank Gathers, Jeff Fryer and the rest of the uptempo Lions did for the men's basketball team continued a longstanding tradition of a basketball legacy at LMU. Two Loyola basketball alumni, Pete Newell and Phil Woolpert, have been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. Newell coached the 1960 U.S. Olympic basketball team to a gold medal and led California to the 1959 NCAA Championship. Woolpert coached the University of San Francisco to the 1955 and 1956 NCAA Championships and a 60-game win streak, the second longest in college basketball history. Speaking of championships, 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, and led them to the 1951 World title. The 1980s saw LMU's athletic success propel to the national and international level. Just four years after pitching the LMU baseball team to the 1986 College World Series, Tim Layana was a vital member of the 1990 World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds. Five members from the 1986 LMU team eventually played in the major leagues. Like Boyd in the NFL and Layana in MLB, many former LMU student-athletes have gone onto the next level in their respective sports. Entering the 2005-06 season, 16 former baseball players currently play professional baseball, including the most recent to hit the majors in C.J. Wilson with the Texas Rangers and Billy Traber with the Cleveland Indians. Additionally, four men's soccer players have played in the MLS the last four years, including Arturo Torres playing for Chivas USA.

players have played professionally, including 2000 Olympian Sarah Noriega. The 1996 firstteam All-American was just one Lion to make an appearance in the Olympics. This past 2004 Summer Olympics former and threetime men's volleyball All-American Reid Priddy burst on the international scene and led the U.S. Men's Volleyball team. Current women's water polo players Rachel Riddell and Christine Robinson both played for the Canadian National Team in the Olympics. Over 99 years ago the Lions began Building Champions.The work continues in 2005-06.

From the 1984 Olympic games to LMU basketball to the World Cup and everything in between, the LMU athletic facilities have become home to the best. Within the complex on the LMU campus, the facilities include Albert Gersten Pavilion, George Page Stadium, Sullivan Field, the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center, the Jane Bove Boathouse, Smith Field and the LMU Tennis Complex , which includes the George P. Kading and Morris A. Pivaroff Tournament Court completed in 2004. Also completed in 2004 was the addition to Pride Park, the new entrance to baseball’s Page Stadium Adding to the LMU facilities over the summer of 2005 is the brand new SMITH FIELD, home to the 2005 PCSC Champion softball team. The brand new park is complete with inset dugout, state-of-the-art scoreboard, natural grass seating for more than 500 and batting cages. Also taking place this summer was the addition of a golf practice facility behind center field of Smith Field and a new fan and alumni area in the Burns Aquatics Center. The continual capital improvement projects are just another reason why LMU is “Building Champions.” The existing centerpiece to the LMU athletics facilities is GERSTEN PAVILION, entering its 24th year as the home to LMU’s indoor athletic events. Hosting men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, the Pavilion has seen its share of memorable moments. One came as the men’s basketball team posted a 16-game winning streak that spanned three seasons from Feb. 25, 1987 through Nov. 28, 1988. On Feb. 20, 1988, during the winning streak, Gersten set the attendance record with a standing room only crowd of 4,525 in a 142-127 win over rival Pepperdine. Built to accommodate the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the Pavilion served as the host site for the weightlifting competition. It is named in honor of Albert Gersten, father of Albert Gersten, Jr., a 1974 LMU graduate. Now in its 23rd season as the home of Lion baseball, GEORGE C. PAGE STADIUM has established itself as one of college baseball’s most unique ball parks. The park continues to distinguish itself thanks to the recent addition of Pride Park. However, the biggest enhancement came in 2001 with the Mikos Blue Monster, a new wall in left field that contains a manual scoreboard, complete with out of town scores reminiscent to some of the major league’s classic parks. The wall was built thanks to a gift from Paul Mikos. The BURNS RECREATION AND AQUATICS CENTER opened in the fall of 2000 and has become the home of some of the best water polo in the NCAA. The Olympic size pool is part of the $18-million Burns Rec Center, and serves as the home venue for men’s and women’s water polo and women’s swimming. Showing that it is one of the finest facilities in the country, LMU hosted the Men’s Water Polo NCAA National Championships in December of 2002. Throughout the last decade, SULLIVAN FIELD has been host to some of the best in soccer from around the world. With the development of the soccer program at LMU, Sullivan Field has become one of the top facilities in the soccer rich WCC. Sullivan has been host to some of the world’s best soccer. Sweden, Italy and Argentina used Sullivan during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and four years later, the field was used as a practice site for the World Cup exhibition Gold Cup Tournament. The LMU Outdoor Athletic Facilities Complex features the new Smith Field and the LMU Tennis Center, which is home to the new KADING AND PIVAROFF TOURNAMENT COURT, the centerpiece of the facility. Completed in 2002, JANE BROWNE BOVE BOATHOUSE is the only athletics facility not on the grounds of the Westchester campus. The facility includes two boat bays, a work area, an office, a new dock and restrooms. The boathouse is part of beautiful Marina del Rey, Calif. Conditions are generally ideal. The water is protected within the marina, temperatures are nice throughout the year and boat traffic is low. More is on the horizon. In October of 2005, the Athletics Department will be part of a major campaign that will ensure that LMU Athletics will Build Champions well into the future.

Strength & Conditioning

T

he strength and conditioning program at LMU has become a primary piece in its quest to Build Champions. The program has taken a huge step into become one of the top strength and conditioning programs with the new direction established by Head Strength Coach Rick Stassi and Assistant Strength Coach Todd Sutker. With the program in place, Stassi and Sutker have developed goals for the student-athletes that implement a plan to advance each athlete. The development of each athlete is focused so they may reach their athletic potential. The training through Stassi's program will be enhanced through proper training in strength, conditioning, flexibility, agility, nutrition and rest. The program assesses each athlete's strengths and weaknesses in those areas and customizes each program to meet individual needs. Like the rest of the LMU campus where individual attention is the norm and not the exception, strength and conditioning strives on that philosophy. With the program in place, the staff works with the athlete and the coaches to give specialized individual attention to ensure proper growth for the athlete and the sport. Every workout is supervised with daily attention given to the athlete to assure progression. The programs are also designed to limit injury to the student-athlete while in action. Athletes are often affected with minor injuries that limit participation. The program has special equipment and protocols in place to ensure that the injured athlete continues to train so that deconditioning does not take place. This will allow for a more rapid return to full participation. The Lions will continue to work in the nearly 1,000-square foot facility in Gersten Pavilion. In addition, the student-athletes workout in the 8,000-square foot weight and fitness training facility within the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center, which opened in 2000. During the winter of 2003, Coach Cruz oversaw the renovation of the baseball weight room. The room, which features wall-to-wall mirrors and new equipment, displays program and individual honors, including past conference player/pitcher of the year recipients. The improvements encourage LMU players to reach that level of excellence, emphasizing that success is earned through daily effort.

THE STAFF

Rick Stassi - Head Strength Coach

I

f you ask the more than 50 coaches and administrators or the more than 330 student-athletes within the LMU athletic department who is the most energetic person inside the walls of Gersten Pavilion or any of the venues on campus, the overwhelming choice would be secondyear strength coach Rick Stassi. In overseeing the 18 varsity programs at LMU, Stassi has brought a new level of energy, and that is putting it lightly. Trying to keep up with the 47-year old is easier said than done, and the student-athletes have responded. Stassi comes from an extensive background in the field of fitness. He earned his Masters of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology, Sports Medicine, Biomechanics and Motor Development from Cal State Fullerton in 1998. He also earned his Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology from CSF in 1993. This past season he helped train six All-Americans at LMU, giving him 40 AllAmericans in the past eight years. Prior to joining LMU in 2004, Stassi was the strength and conditioning coach for the Cal State Fullerton baseball team from 1991-2000. On the professional side, he has trained more than 300 professional athletes, including 13 top draft picks in Major League baseball. He also has trained nine Olympic athletes with his training partner the last five years, Jason Lezak, a two-time Olympic gold, silver and bronze medalist. Stassi has also trained Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart the past six years. Prior to entering the relm of athletics, Stassi spent more than eight years as a firefighter-paramedic with the Fremont Fire Department. He attended the Paramedic Program at Stanford University in 1981. He lives in Irvine with his two sons, Trent (16) and Dane (13).

Todd Sutker - Asst. Strength Coach

T

odd Sutker joined LMU as the Assistant Strength Coach midway through the 2004-05 season and has joined Head Strength Coach Rick Stassi in bringing a new level of energy to the strength program that has it among the best. Sutker comes to LMU after spending five years in the strength and conditioning field in Lake Tahoe, Calif. He most recently was an adjunct instructor in the physical education department at Lake Tahoe Community College and the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Lake Tahoe Women’s Ice Hockey Team. He arrived in Lake Tahoe in 1999 and began as a personal trainer at Body Sculpt Fitness. He also worked at Tahoe High School as the strength and conditioning coach for women’s basketball and volleyball. After graduating from the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications, Sutker worked as a fitness instructor for Family Fitness Center in Costa Mesa. After one year at Family, he spent four years with Stanwood High School as the strength and conditioning coach, working with women’s basketball and volleyball. He is a certified personal trainer by both the American Council on Exercise and the National Academy of Sports Medicine and is also a certified strength and conditioning specialist.

Athletics Training Keith Ellison - Head Athletics Trainer

I

T

he busiest place per square foot on the campus of Loyola Marymount University is not what one would think. It is not LMU's on campus commons area, the Lair, University Hall or the LMU bookstore. It is the LMU Athletics Training Room. Right around 1,000-square feet, the LMU training room at any given moment in season is what Head Athletics Trainer Keith Ellison calls "organized and controlled chaos." In the height of its busiest time of the year, when all 18 LMU NCAA Division I sports are in action, the Training Room can make a casual onlooker dizzy. However, Ellison, his three full-time assistants, Joe Gonzalez, Beth Drayer, Gary Dyogi and 15 student assistants make it look easy. In his 16th-year at LMU and 10th as the Head Athletics Trainer, Ellison and his staff have turned the LMU training room into a model for the school's main conference affiliate, the West Coast Conference. "This is a great place to be because of the people," said Ellison, who graduated from LMU in 1987. "The fulltime staff we have here is the best in the conference. We have the right personalities for LMU and they all genuinely care and are concerned about the student-athletes, not just for their injuries and sports they play, but for each person as a whole. "And it is not just my staff. It is the students that make this place great. The student-athletes care and respect what we are doing. With 18 sports and just three trainers, it can get difficult in seeing to every need of the athletes. But the students understand and respect each other and make this place very, very successful now and in the future." On a given day, the Athletics Training Room will see about half of the 325 student-athletes at LMU. A given day will include lots of paper work, therapy for student-athletes recovering from injuries that keep them out of competition, appointments with doctors and pre- and post-practice needs. "Our mission is to eliminate the chance for injury. We stress the use of ice and strength and conditioning to reduce the risk of injury. Thus, the traffic in our training room can get very heavy throughout the day," said Ellison, who has been busy this year. "We have had a lot of different injuries with many different teams. Because of that we have had a lot of traffic in our training room doing rehab and doing the normal stuff to prepare for practice or games." In addition to providing the best care available in the nation to LMU athletes, the training program services the needs of its opponents in a first class manner and provides an opportunity for students in the field of athletic training to earn valuable experience. With more than 50 years of experience in the field, the Training Program provides services that includes a philosophy that places a high value on health and wellness, a program that allows injured student-athletes to return to their sport as soon as medically safe and to substantially reduce the risk of athletic injury for those student-athletes. The Training Room at LMU features state-of-the-art equipment in a 1,000square foot sports medicine complex. The equipment includes whirlpools, paraffin bath, ultrasound, muscle stimulation and hydrocalators.

n his 10th season as head athletic trainer and director of sports medicine for the department of athletics at Loyola Marymount University is Keith Ellison. Ellison has been in the professional field of athletic training for more than 16, all of them here at LMU. After graduating with a degree in business administration and a minor in economics from LMU in 1987, Ellison worked as an intern at LMU while completing his coursework in athletic training at UCLA. The National Athletic Trainers Association in 1993 certified him as an athletic trainer. Ellison is responsible Keith Ellison for all areas of athletic training for LMU's 18 varsity Head Athletic sports. He coordinates and supervises the physical theraTrainer py for more than 330 student-athletes. Ellison is a member of several committees and associations affiliated with athletic training, and has served on numerous advisory and search committees during his tenure at LMU. Ellison was appointed the athletic trainer for the Los Angeles Lakers Summer Pro League Mini-camp, the Magic Johnson MidSummer All-Star Charity Game, Pete Newell's Big Man Camps, and numerous other summer pro-leagues and summer camps in Southern California.

Director of Athletics D

r. William S. Husak begins his eighth year as the Athletics Director at Loyola Marymount University. Since taking over the program in 1998, LMU has reached a new level of success. While 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 team 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 creation of the Student-Athlete Academic Center and the Lions’ Strength and Conditioning Center, increased scholarship and operational support and enhancing the coaching and support staff. “The last seven years have been a high energy environment in the Athletics Department,” Husak said. “Because of the support of so many people at LMU, the program has been producing a winning record on the field and in the classroom. The 2003-04 season smashed all previous records for success and we continued that in 2004-05. While we recognize our success this past year, we realize that the potential here at LMU is so much greater and we are just beginning to realize what can be accomplished at LMU.” The past seven years have been some of the most successful seasons in school history as the Lions won over 58 percent of its dual competitions in that span. Since 1998, LMU has claimed 17 conference championships and 23 NCAA postseason appearances. Off the field, the Lions have had a 50 percent increase in national scholar-athletes as 158 claimed the honor in the 2004-05 academic year, the most in school history. In addition, LMU ranked fifth in the nation among all NCAA Division I schools (326) in the first Academic Progress Rates (APR) report, issued by the NCAA in 2004-05. Husak attributes the current success and the future growth of the program on the staff that is in place. Since he took over the program, the coaching and administrative staffs that lend support to the more than 330 student-athletes has more than

doubled in size. A full-time head coach will lead each of the 18 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 eight brand new staff positions, which included an athletic academic coordinator, marketing/promotions manager, corporate relations manager, two assistant athletic trainers, a strength and conditioning assistant coach and an assistant media relations director. “We have begun to establish a winning tradition at LMU and we have done that through the people that we now have in place,” said Husak. “It was my goal to assemble a staff that would bring success to this program.” That success has led to improved facilities, enhanced fan support both by students and the general public and increased fund raising. “Although much has been accomplished, there is still a great deal to achieve,” Husak said. “If our athletics program is truly to become consistently great, we must achieve the objectives of our campaigns for facilities and endowments. We can not do this without the support of all those who believe that athletics is an integral part of the LMU experience for not just the student-athletes but all who are associated with this great University.” 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 Fight on Loyola, A&M Unive r s i ty. He and his wife of 33 years, Tish, live in Fight to win Long Beach and have three sons, Greg, 31, Todd, 27 and Roar on you Lions, Jon, 25.

ORIGINS OF THE LIONS

A

lthough 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.

LMU FIGHT SONG

2006 LMU

BASEBALL

The 2006 Lions:

THE USUAL SUSPECTS Some unusual faces in four transfers and eight freshmen will look to maintain the Lions’ reputation as the usual suspects atop the West Coast Conference.

What do you do when you lose 12 lettermen- including three players selected in the first 10 rounds of the MLB draft- from a team that won its second straight West Coast Conference Coast Division championship? If you are 10th-year Head Coach Frank Cruz, you put another team on the field that could compete for LMU’s seventh WCC title. Now leading the Lions for a decade, Cruz will look to take a team that’s picked to finish fourth in league play to LMU’s fifth WCC Championship Series appearance in eight seasons. The last time the Lions were tabbed to finish fourth, Cruz led the 2004 team to a conference-best 20-7 record and the Coast Division title. His efforts earned him his third WCC Coach of the Year selection and the top place in the 2005 18 L M U

WCC preseason poll. But this season, as fans scan the 2006 roster, some notable names are missing. And the majority of those names are now found on minor league rosters around professional baseball. LMU had a total of seven players sign professional contracts in 2005, including top-10 round picks Stephen Kahn (fifth round, Seattle Mariners), Jeff Stevens (sixth round, Cincinnati Reds), and James Cooper (ninth round, New York Yankees). Kahn was the 2004 WCC Pitcher of the Year, while Stevens and Cooper brought home all-conference honors last season as juniors. Joe Frazee, selected in the 25th round by the Philadelphia Phillies, became the first player in LMU history to receive All-WCC recognition for four seasons.

“We don’t know what to expect because we have key positions to fill,” Cruz said, “most notably, our pitching and outfield.” Four transfers, all of who are probable starters, will try to fill the void left by the draft and graduation. Eight freshmen will join them in the hunt for the WCC title. The returning squad is highlighted by All-WCC first-team selection Chris Pettit, second-team selection Eric Farris, and honorable mention recipient Sean Dovel. 2004 All-WCC honoree Kyle Mura, a 49th round selection of the Chicago Cubs who opted to return for his senior season, also has Lion fans hoping for big things in 2006.

primesuspect LMU looks to make its fifth WCC Championship Series appearance in eight seasons.


INFIELD A.J. LaMonda returns to anchor the infield for the Lions in 2006. Already a two-year starter for LMU, LaMonda is expected to start at first base again. The junior, known for his reliable glove, also made a name for himself as the Lions’ most consistent hitter in the fall season. Sophomore Justin Bunkis, who made six appearances for the Lions in 2005, may also see time at first base this season. The starting job at the opposite corner is expected to be filled by seniors Kyle Mura and Casey Gordon. Gordon, who transferred from the College of Charleston, hit .290 in conference play as a switch hitter in 2005. Mura was the Lions’ 2005 starter, who now splits his innings between the infield and the pitching mound. Mura hit .247 in 51 games played for the Lions last season and made his pitching debut against Cal State Northridge on May 10. The right-hander threw a hitless ninth, striking out one to seal the victory over the Matadors. Last year, injuries hampered the Lions’ middle infield early in the season, but Farris and redshirt freshman Michael Glomb eventually returned to give LMU the defensive spark it needed. The Lions finished the season 17-8 with Glomb in place as the starting shortstop, and Farris finished among the conference’s top candidates in the WCC Freshman of the Year race. The two return for their sophomore campaigns with hopes of leading the Lions from the start. Fellow sophomore Matt Carter, who saw time in nine games in 2005, and Gordon also add depth to the middle infield. Behind the plate, Dovel returns for his sophomore season after hitting .287 for the Lions in 2005. The catcher capped off his freshman campaign strong, hitting his only two home runs of the season in the final three weeks of play. Junior Adrian Nevarez, who coaches dubbed the team’s most improved player, and freshman Brett Mendoza may share time with Dovel behind the plate. Returners Brandon DiTolla and Jason Lefkowitz and freshman Nik Garcia give the coaching staff some interesting futher options, both offensively and defensively. OUTFIELD For the last three seasons, LMU has been known for its outfield, with Pettit, Frazee, and Cooper keeping the defense intact as three-year starters. Now, Pettit will bring in two transfers to help him continue the job in 2006. With Pettit and his .329 2005 average still starting in left, junior transfer DeAndre Miller will battle returner Anthony Soto for Frazee’s old spot in center field. Miller came to the Lions in January from Fresno State, where he hit .245 with seven stolen bases. Soto hit .250 in 22 appearances for the Lions. Transferring from UC Irvine, senior Erik Johnson will most likely fill the starting right field job. Johnson hit .352 in Big West play for the Anteaters in 2005. Elvis Herrera will also see time in right field and as a possible designated hitter for the Lions, after hitting .286 in 24 games in 2005. Brian

backformore KYLE MURA The Lions’ third baseman/pitcher returns for his senior season after being drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 2005 draft.


Wilson and Ernie Cho will split their time between the outfield and the pitcher’s mound, while fellow freshman Kyle McCormick will also battle for time in the outfield. PITCHING Fans familiar with the recent history of LMU baseball will most likely wonder how this season’s pitching staff will stack up. The Lions lost their top three starting pitchers of 2005, with Kahn, Stevens, and Kyle Huddy each signing professional contracts following the season. Sophomore Brad Meyers, who made six starts for the Lions in 2005, will likely be in the LMU rotation this season. Meyers is coming off a productive summer in the Cape Cod league, where he and Pettit led their Orleans Cardinals to the title. Meyers was named MVP of the playoffs and one of the league’s top-10 prospects. Daniel Macias, Roberto Torres, Blake Feaser, Andy Beal, and Mura will then battle for the remaining starting jobs. The left-handed Macias finished fourth on the 2005 staff with 26 appearances. Torres came to the Lions from San Francisco State, where he led the Gators with 14 starts, 78 innings pitched, and 70 strikeouts. Feaser posted a 4-2 record and led the 2005 squad with four saves. Beal finished his impressive freshman season 4-1 with a team-best 3.71 ERA in 31 appearances. Returners Ezequiel Ruvalcaba, Nathan Keadle, and Greg Nagy and freshmen Melvin Blackmon, Lee Roberts, Michael Kenney, Cho, and Wilson are also expected to see time on the mound for the Lions in 2006. SCHEDULE The Lions once again play as tough a schedule as any team and will face 25 games against teams listed among the nation’s best in the Collegiate Baseball poll. Five opponents off the 2006 schedule participated in the 2005 NCAA Baseball Championships. The LMU schedule will, as always, feature home and away match-ups with perennial powerhouses USC, Long Beach State, and 2004 national champion Cal State Fullerton. The WCC has done away with its divisions, and beginning the season, the teams will play just one threegame series against each conference team. With this shortened conference season, fans will notice additional non-conference match-ups on the schedule. LMU will open the season in Tucson, Arizona, facing one of the nation’s top programs in the University of Arizona. Returning home, the Lions will host three-game series with non-conference opponents Cal Poly, Hawaii, and UC Santa Barbara at Page Stadium in February and March. “As usual, we fell like we’re playing the very best competition in the country,” Cruz said. “The tough competition comes not only in our WCC schedule, but also with teams we will play outside our conference both at home and on the road, beginning with a very talented Arizona team.”

seniorleader CHRIS PETTIT The All-WCC firsteam selection looks to cap off his career with a WCC championship.

WORLD Twenty years later, the 1986 College World Series squad highlights the tradition of postseason play for LMU baseball. 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. The season started with the Lions winning their first eight games and 12 of their first 13. As the season progressed, 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 22 L M U

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 was placed with UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Hawaii in Los Angeles at UCLA. It looked as though it might be two-andout for the Lions, as they dropped their first game to UC Santa Barbara 11-5 to move down to the elimination bracket. However, 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. In game two of the Regional, the Lions defeated

UCLA 12-10, eliminating the Bruins and earning a rematch with UC Santa Barbara. LMU advanced past the Gauchos with a 14-6 win, and would then have to beat the University of Hawaii twice to compete in Omaha. After 10-6 and 12-5 victories, the Lions earned a trip to the 1986 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.

USA Baseball

NATIONAL TEAM LMU fans had a lot to celebrate throughout the summer of 2004, as Head Coach Frank Cruz and RHP Stephen Kahn won the gold with the USA Baseball National Team. After representing LMU on the USA Baseball National Team in the summer of 2004, LMU Head Coach Frank Cruz and right-hander Kahn returned to Los Angeles with a gold medal from the FISU II Wo r l d University Championship in Taiwan. Cruz, who served as Team USA’s manager, and Kahn helped the national team to a perfect 8-0 run at the championship, including a 4-2 come-frombehind win over Japan in the title game. Cruz led Team USA to an 18-7 record on the summer, including winning 12 of the last 14 games. Kahn became the third Lion to play for the national team since they began selecting the official squad in 1984. He joined former LMU baseball standouts Joe Ciccarella (1989-1991) and Chris 26 L M U

Gomez (1990-91), who played a combined three seasons for the Red, White, and Blue. Cruz was selected in January to serve as the 2004 squad's field manager after serving as an assistant for Team USA in 2000. Sending both Kahn and catcher Jonathan Higashi (now in the Texas Rangers organization) to June's national team trials, LMU was just one of seven schools (LMU, Long Beach State, Mississippi, Texas, Stanford, Vanderbilt, and USC) to have multiple players invited to the trials pool of 36 players. "When the guys at the trials asked me what Cruz is like as a coach, I told them that they'll definitely enjoy the summer with him,” Kahn said. “I smile inside knowing that I am his player all year and that I get to be there

with him this summer with USA Baseball. He is a great representative for our school and our program. Cruz is one of the top Division I coaches and that's why he is where he is right now: coaching the best players in the nation. It's nice for our incoming freshmen, as they can know they are coming to play for the coach that was the manager for the USA National Team." In 20 years of national team competition, USA Baseball has now won five gold medals. In his two stints with the national team, Cruz has played a role in two of those five gold medals. He is now one of just three coaches to be a part of multiple gold-medal-winning squads. Cruz and Team USA went a perfect 6-0 in round robin pool play and then


2006 LMU

defeated Chinese Taipei (5-2) and Japan (4-2) to capture the gold medal. The Americans entered the championship with a 10-7 record, but then won eight straight in Taiwan and 12 of their last 14 under Cruz. The Americans captured the gold with a combined dominating performance at the plate, on the mound, and in the field. Cruz's offense led the eight-team field hitting .307 with six home runs. His pitching staff was nearly untouchable, combining for a 1.19 ERA and striking out 83 batters in 68.0 innings. For continuing a tradition of excellence with the national program, Cruz was named the 2004 USA Baseball Developmental Coach of the Year. With the honor, Cruz, along with the other national award winners named by USA Baseball, advanced to the United States Olympic Committee pool of award winners from every Olympic sport's national governing body. His team, the 2004 National Team, was also named USA Baseball Team of the Year. The Americans finished summer 2004 with an overall record of 18-7 and became the first National Team to ever record a no-hitter, as five pitchers combined to pull off the feat in a game against Canada. Cruz and Kahn opened the FISU World University Championship with wins over Chinese Taipei (2-1) and Canada (151), in their final leg of the tour with the USA Baseball National Team. The right-handed Kahn helped Team USA cruise to the 15-1 route of Canada, throwing a hitless sixth inning. Earlier in the summer, Kahn helped the National Team to a 19-2 victory over the New England Collegiate Baseball League's Danbury Westerners in Danbury, Conn. Kahn threw two innings in Team USA's first game back in the states following its five-game Japan road swing. Kahn entered the game in the eighth inning and got the first batter to pop up to second base before striking out two to end the inning. He added a third strikeout in the ninth, completing the 19-2 victory for the Red, White, and Blue at Rogers Park. Kahn's three strikeouts in two innings helped Team USA move to 7-5, including a perfect 7-0 on American soil. The summer of 2004 was Cruz's second tour of duty with USA Baseball, but his first as a head coach. Cruz served as an assistant on the 2000 USA Baseball National Team that posted an overall record of 27-3-1 and captured a gold medal at the 2000 Haarlem Baseball Week Championships in The Netherlands. This past summer, he became the first USA Baseball National Team Head Coach to be affiliated with the West Coast Conference. After the 2004 National Team players were added to USA Baseball’s all-time roster, the organization named LMU one of the nation's top 50 college baseball programs in relation to national team representation. LMU, which has produced three national team players since 1984, ranks 39th on USA Baseball's Top 50 National Team Collegiate Programs. Since USA Baseball began selecting players and operating an official national team to represent the United States in 1984, over 385 collegiate players have donned the Red, White, and Blue uniform from 116 colleges and universities across the country. Despite Cruz’s two-time involvement, the top 50 listing did not award points for coaching selections.

Home of the

LIONS The 37-foot tall Mikos Blue Monster is home to one of only a handfull of manual scoreboards in all of baseball, bringing old-time charm to Page Stadium. Now in its 24th season as the home of Lion baseball, George C. Page Stadium has established itself as a tough place for opponents. With the Mikos Blue Monster and the addition of Pride Park, Page Stadium continues to stake its claim as one of college baseball's most unique ballparks. Thanks to a gift from Paul Mikos ‘66, a wall containing a manual scoreboard was installed in left field, complete with out of town scores reminiscent of some of Major League Baseball's classic ballparks. T h e Mikos Blue Monster is a replica to Boston's Fenway Park's Green Monster. The Mikos Blue Monster stands 130-feet wide and 37-feet tall. Within the wall is one of only a handful of manual score boards in all of baseball. The board itself isn't small, 28 L M U

standing 18-feet tall and 46-feet wide. Complete with the LMU line score and other score updates, the scoreboard combines some old-time baseball charm with today's technology. The scoreboard has electronic balls, strikes and outs lights, along with electronic at-bat and hit/error identification. Every other component is tallied using 2-foot square aluminum score cards slipped in behind the scoreboard manually. Giving Page Stadium additional character is a five-foot indent connecting the Blue Monster with the existing outfield fencing, similar to the odd outfield shapes of the classic Fenway Park in Boston and Minute Maid Park in Houston. Since 1997, when Frank Cruz was hired as head coach of the Lions' baseball program, LMU has estab-

lished an 147-105 record at Page, a winning percentage of 58 percent. The Lions' have posted a 392-261-2 record (.600) overall in the park's 23 seasons. Some of the best years have come in the five conference titles the Lions have won while calling Page Stadium home. The first Page Stadium conference title came in 1986, when the Lions posted a 24-8 record at home. The best record came in 1988, when LMU was 30-4 at home (88 percent). In the years the Lions have won conference crowns, they are 168-55 at Page (75 percent). Since going to a Championship tournament format in 1999, four of the WCCChampionships have been played at Page Stadium with the Lions winning two conference crowns over Pepperdine.


2006 LMU

The stadium, built at the site of LMU's old baseball field, was completed at a cost of more than $250,000 with the Incentive Aid Foundation of Los Angeles providing the majority of the funding. Boasting grandstand seating for more than 600 people, the facility features a "VIP" section with 200 theater-type seats. The remaining 400 seats are aluminum with backrests and are located along the first base and third base lines. Field accommodations include spacious field-level dugouts and bullpens, a double batting tunnel, windscreen around the perimeter of the field, and grandstand. A picnic area, located down the first base line, was added prior to the 1996 season. The backstop has been modified to enhance spectator viewing of the action on the field. The press box, fully equipped to meet the needs of all media, is located behind the "VIP" seating. A convenient concession stand is located near the north entrance of the stadium. In the summer of 2004, Cruz spearheaded the construction of Pride Park, the stadium's new entrance. The park, resembling a scaled-down baseball infield, recognizes alumi and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for athletic events at LMU. Page Stadium has been the site of filming for numerous commercials, television shows, and feature films. It served as the site for the baseball scenes in the hit movie "My Blue Heaven" starring Steve Martin. It is also home to many camps, clinics, Little League and prep all-star games. The facility, which has also been used for outdoor community cultural shows and events, is named in honor of George C. Page, president of the Incentive Aid Foundation. Assisting Mr. Page and IAF in the stadium's completion was Maynard Kambak, father of LMU baseball alumnus Jeff Kambak. LMU's historic first game in Page Stadium was played on March 19, 1983, with a 5-1 loss to Cal State Fullerton.

The Entrance to Page Stadium

PRIDE PARK Pride Park honors the great moments in LMU baseball history and inspires current players to reach that level of excellence. Fans visiting Page Stadium will notice one of the latest improvements in the LMU athletic facilities: Pride Park gives the 24-year-old home to Lion baseball a memorable new entrance. The park, resembling a scaled down baseball infield, recognizes alumni and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for any athletic event at LMU. Pride Park consists of a brick infield with commemorative benches surrounding the area. LMU baseball's WCC Championship teams, NCAA tournament appearances, and those players who have had their jersey numbers retired are recognized on the benches. LMU fans sponsored the bricks that form the infield. The park now serves as the entrance to George C. Page Stadium, the home of the Lions for 24 seasons. Head Coach Frank Cruz oversaw the 30 L M U

design and development of the park, which also offered fans the opportunity to purchase home plate, first, second, and third base, and the flag pole that stands in center field to honor loved ones. "We hope Pride Park will become a place where everyone associated with LMU, and specifically LMU baseball, can gather and reminisce," Cruz said. "We would like to see that all of those involved with our program's rich history, both fans and former players, are represented in our brick infield." Though the design of Pride Park lends itself toward baseball, the location provides a natural focal gathering point for LMU guests that attend any function inside of Gersten Pavilion and Page Stadium, or games on Smith (softball) and Sullivan (soccer) Fields. Pride Park is an important initial step in achieving the athletic department's

dream of a sports complex. With the construction of Pride Park and the creation of the tennis tournament court and Smith Field, fans of LMU athletics now see a modern athletic center surrounding the southwest area of Gersten Pavilion. Inspired by the death of Cruz's mother, Narcisa Cruz, Pride Park is the latest baseball facility improvement spearheaded by Cruz. During the winter of 2003, Cruz oversaw the renovation of the baseball weight room. Similar to the weight room, which recognizes the accomplishments of LMU baseball alumni, Pride Park honors the great moments in LMU baseball history and inspires current players to reach that level of excellence. "The park displays the honor and tradition of LMU baseball and reflects LMU's long-time pride in having a family community," Cruz said.

Head Coach Frank Cruz

QUITE FRANKLY Becoming the Lions’ skipper in 1997, Cruz turned the program into an instant winner, claiming three straight WCC Championships and NCAA postseason berths and back-to-back Coast Division titles. Having established himself as one of the most respected collegiate coaches in the nation, Frank Cruz is in his 10th season directing the LMU baseball program. Cruz turned the program into an instant winner, claiming three consecutive We s t Coast Conference Championships (the first time in school history), two Coast Division titles, and earning three straight appearances in the NCAA Regionals from 1998-2000. Cruz, who was selected by USA Baseball as head coach of the 2004 national team, just completed a four-year term on the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee. Cruz enters the 2006 season ranking eighth all-time and second among active coaches in the West Coast Conference in career victories with 260 wins as LMU's skipper. Joining the Lions in 1997, Cruz's impact on the WCC was almost immediate. In his first season at the helm, he took a team that finished sixth in the conference with an overall record of 21-39 to three straight first-place finishes. That includes finishes of 34-23-1 in 1998, 33-28 in 1999 and 4019 in 2000. The 40 wins ranks fourth all-time at LMU for victories in a single-season. The success in 2000 earned Cruz his second WCC Coach of the Year honor, following his first in 1998. In just the second season under Cruz, the Lions won the WCC title and earned a trip to the NCAA Regionals in 1998, where they shocked 32 L M U

the baseball world by upsetting No. 2-ranked Stanford in Palo Alto thanks in part to a complete game effort by freshman Michael Schultz. Schultz and catcher Scott Walter were named Freshmen All-Americans, and Schultz earned a spot on the West Regional team after helping LMU defeat Stanford for the first time in school history. Walter was the 1998 WCC Player of the Year, while Schultz garnered WCC Pitcher of the Year honors. The Lions found themselves in the Regionals again in 1999 and 2000, as Cruz has led LMU to eight NCAA Regional games in just six years. In 1999, LMU defended its WCC Championship against Pepperdine, winning its first back-to-back conference title in school history. Traber and Anthony Angel each earned first-team All-WCC honors, with Traber posting a team-high 135 strikeouts in 120.0 innings. The selection marked Angel's second straight all-conference honor after he hit .322 with 16 doubles, four home runs, and 38 RBI. Behind the efforts of All-American Traber in 2000, LMU earned a 6-4 NCAA postseason win over No.2-seed Cal State Fullerton. Traber's complete game, 13-strikeout performance advanced the Lions to the Regional winner's bracket. Walter joined Traber as an All-American after leading LMU to its third-straight WCC Championship. The rise in the WCC is a tribute to Cruz's reputation as one of the nation's top recruiters. In 1997, Collegiate Baseball tabbed Cruz as the Recruiter of the Year. He accomplished that honor after formulating the nation's 16th best recruiting class which included 2000's 16th overall draft pick in Traber. In 2004, Cruz led an LMU squad that was picked to finish fourth in the conference to LMU's

best WCC record in eight seasons, going a league-best 20-7 en route to his third WCC Coach of the Year selection. The Coast Division Champions, LMU earned the right to host the WCC Championship Series at Page Stadium. Lion pitcher Stephen Kahn brought the WCC Pitcher of the Year selection to LMU for the second time in four seasons, as Billy Traber won the conference award in 2000. The 2005 season was another thriller for LMU fans, who watched Cruz and the Lions string together one exciting twist after another. The Lions strung together six consecutive Tuesday victories, including an April 5th win over topranked Cal State Fullerton. The victory over the Titans marked the first time any LMU sport had ever defeated the nation's top team. The midweek streak sparked Cruz and the Lions to the hottest regular season finish in program history, as they won 14 of their final 16 games to earn their second straight Coast Division title. LMU hosted the WCC Championship Series for the fourth time in seven seasons, with all three games televised on Fox Sports Net. Cruz's tireless efforts also helped him earn a position as an assistant coach with the 2000 USA National Baseball program. The team wrapped up the 2000 Qwest Red, White and Blue Tour with a 27-3-1 record, including a 6-0 mark in the final tournament of the summer season leading to the 2000 Olympics in Australia. Cruz helped lead Team USA to finish the season with a 21-game unbeaten streak which included 20 wins and one tie. Cruz and the Team USA coaches led the National Team to a .900 winning percentage, the best in USA Baseball history. His success with the 2000 National Team led


2006 LMU to his 2004 selection as head coach of Team USA. Cruz led the 2004 USA Baseball National Team of collegiate players to the program's first gold medal at the FISU World University Championships in Tainan, Taiwan. Cruz and Team USA went a perfect 6-0 in round robin pool play and then defeated Chinese Taipei (5-2) and Japan (4-2) to capture the gold medal. The Americans entered the championship with a 10-7 record, but then won eight straight in Taiwan and 12 of their last 14 under Cruz. The USA captured the gold with a combined dominating performance at the plate, on the mound, and in the field. Cruz's offense led the eight-team field hitting .307. His pitching staff was nearly untouchable, combining for an 1.19 ERA and striking out 83 batters in 68.0 innings. For continuing a tradition of excellence within the national program, Cruz was named 2004 USA Baseball Developmental Coach of the Year. The International Baseball Federation then named him International Coach of the Year, selecting Cruz from a pool of managers from all 112 participating member countries and all team levels. The award is a special honor in a year of Olympic competition, as Cruz was chosen from a pool that included all nations' Olympic baseball coaches. Cruz became just the fourth American coach to receive the selection, and the first since 1995. He is the only Team USA coach to win the award in an Olympic year. In 20 years of national team competition, USA Baseball has now won five gold medals. In his two stints with the national team, Cruz has played a role in two of those five gold medals. He is now one of just three coaches to be a part of multiple gold-medal-winning squads and is the first USA Baseball National Team Head Coach to be affiliated with the West Coast Conference. Kahn joined Cruz on the award-winning national team in 2004. Other accomplishments for Cruz include coaching MLB's top prospects. Benny Craig (19th round, Cincinnati Reds) kicked-off the now common development of post-collegiate career for Cruz's players when he was selected following Cruz's first season at LMU. Matt Riordan (14th round, Baltimore Orioles) and Curt Fiore (34th round, Atlanta Braves) followed in Craig's footsteps when they were selected in the 1999 MLB draft. Joe Sulentor also signed with the Minnesota Twins following his 1999 season. Six players were then selected in the 2000 draft, including Traber (first round, New York Mets), Schultz (second round, Arizona Diamondbacks), Walter (third round, Kansas City Royals), Jason Aspito (ninth round, Chicago White Sox), Angel (14th round, Houston Astros) and Ben Bonilla (free agent, Arizona Diamondbacks). Two more were taken in 2001, with C.J. Wilson (5th Round, Texas Rangers) and James Clelland (free agent, Montreal Expos) moving to the next level of their playing careers. The 2005 season saw Wilson make his major league debut with the Rangers. The 2003 draft saw four more draft selections for Cruz and the Lions: Joshua Muecke (fifth round, Houston Astros), Josh Whitesell (sixth round, Montreal Expos), Vince Cordova (ninth round, New York Mets), and Ryan Yurek (24th round, Houston Astros). Following the 2004 season, Will Quaglieri signed with the New York Mets pre-draft as a fifth-year senior, just before Kevin Jenson (30th round, San Francisco Giants) and Billy Lockin (37th round, Arizona Diamondbacks) added to the list of drafted Lions. Jonathan Higashi (Texas Rangers), Brady Koch (Houston Astros), and Clint McGill (Houston Astros) also signed professional contracts as the Class of 2004. With three players drafted in the first 10 rounds, the 2005 season saw a total of six Lions move on to professional baseball. Kahn was the highest of all WCC players selected, going to the Seattle Mariners in the fifth round. Jeff Stevens was a sixth round selection of Cincinnati, while James Cooper was taken in the ninth round by the New York Yankees. Joe Frazee signed with Philadelphia after being chosen the 25th round, while Kyle Mura was selected in the 49th round by the Chicago Cubs. Mura elected to return to the Lions for his senior campaign. Kyle Huddy also went on to sign with the Cincinnati Reds. During his nine seasons, Cruz's teams have set many single-season records. In 2000, his squad made its mark in the LMU record book with home runs (81, 2nd all-time), hits continued 

(702, 3rd all-time), doubles (132, 3rd all-time), runs (516, 5th all-time), wins (40, 4th all-time), winning percentage (.678, 4th all-time) and batting average .331, 4th all-time). Many of his players have broken into a variety of single-season and all-time record categories in both the LMU and WCC record books. One of the keys in the drastic turnaround has been Cruz's involvement in the improvements of LMU's baseball facilities. The six-time conference champions enjoy one of the most noteable enhancements to Page Stadium, the Mikos Blue Monster. The massive left-field wall makes the ballpark one of the most unique in all of college baseball. In addition, the team has been playing on a new grass infield, and the stadium was equipped with backstop netting, windscreens, a sound system, backstop padding, astroturf dugouts, and lighted batting tunnels. During the winter of 2003, Cruz initiated the renovation of the baseball weight room. The room, which features wall-to-wall mirrors and new equipment, displays program and individual honors, including past conference player/pitcher of the year recipients. The improvements encourage LMU players to reach that level of excellence. Cruz's ultimate goal is to eventually see construction on a new clubhouse for the LMU baseball program. Cruz also oversaw the construction of Pride Park, the new entrance to Page Stadium, beginning in May 2004. The park, resembling a scaled down baseball infield, recognizes alumni and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for athletic events at LMU. Pride Park features a brick infield with commemorative benches surrounding the area. LMU baseball's WCC Championship teams, NCAA tournament appearances, and those players who have had jersey numbers retired are recognized on the benches. Named to his current post on June 20, 1996, Cruz has employed a highly successful coaching and teaching philosophy from his experience as a high school coach and a former assistant coach under Mike Gillespie at USC. Prior to coming to LMU, Cruz spent four seasons as an assistant on the USC coaching staff. Cruz's primary responsibilities were with the Trojan hitters and outfielders, two of the team's strongest areas. In Cruz's four years at Southern California, the Trojans were one of the most successful programs in the nation, boasting an overall record of 169-86-1 (.662). During that span, USC made four NCAA Regional final appearances, captured two Pacific-10 championships, and advanced to the 1995 College World Series championship game. Cruz moved to USC after a successful stint at Los Angeles' University High School, where he taught health and physical education. While at University, Cruz posted a 152-68 career record and led his team to the 1988 L.A. City baseball title, four Western League crowns (1988-90-91-92), and six trips to the city baseball playoffs. Cruz was honored as area Coach of the Year on three occasions. He remained a part-time teacher through the 1995-96 academic year. Cruz attended Santa Monica College and then transferred to Pepperdine, where he earned both a bachelors (physical education, 1983) and masters (education, 1989) degree. He is a graduate of Saint Monica High School and now resides in West Los Angeles.

ASSISTANT COACH TIM LEARY Former Los Angeles Dodgers standout Tim Leary joins the LMU baseball program as the Lions' pitching coach. Leary begins his stint with LMU after most recently working with the UCLA pitching staff from 1997-2000 and again in 2004. Following a successful collegiate career at UCLA, Leary was selected by the New York Mets with the second pick of the first round in the 1979 baseball draft. He pitched professionally for 15 years, spending 10 of those years in the majors with the New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, and Texas Rangers. Leary's best performances came in 1988 when he helped lead the Dodgers to the World Series title. He was named National League Comeback Player of the Year, finishing the season with a 17-11 record and a 2.90 ERA. He was the National League Pitcher of the Week for the week of July 18-24, 1988, and was selected as a 1988 TSN Silver Slugger, awarded to the top players at each position in each league as selected by MLB managers. Leary ranked second in the National League in shutouts (six), fifth in complete games (nine) and sixth in wins (17) and strikeouts (180). He threw a onehitter on May 25 at Philadelphia and struck out a career-high 12 on August 21 against Montreal. He allowed just one run over six and two thirds innings (1.35 ERA) in two World Series. As the Bruins' pitching coach, Leary helped the 1997 squad to a College World Series appearance and coached two first round draft picks in Jim Parque and Josh Karp. Leary, who holds a degree in economics from UCLA, was a three-year letterman (197779) for the Bruins. He finished his career with a 21-15 record and a 3.09 ERA with 258 strikeouts, the fourth-highest total in UCLA history. Leary threw 16 complete games for UCLA, a mark that is still the school's record. He was selected to The Sporting News and the ABCA's All-America squads and earned Academic All-America honors in 1979. In 1991, Leary was elected to the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame, joining Jackie Robinson and former American League President Dr. Bobby Brown as the only baseball inductees. He is still the only baseball pitcher in UCLA’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Leary graduated from Santa Monica High School in 1976 after posting a 10-2 record that year and earning All-CIF first-team honors. He led his American Legion Team to the national championship by going 19-1. In 1978, he helped lead the USA Amateur Team to the silver medal in the World Cup played in Italy. He was also a member of the 1979 Pan Am Team. Leary resides in Pacific Palisades. He has two daughters, Anne-Sophie and Caroline, and a son, Thomas.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH VINCE BERINGHELE After assisting LMU baseball to a West Coast Conference Coast Division title in 2005, Vince Beringhele has been promoted to associate head coach for the 2005-06 season. Beringhele will work with Head Coach Frank Cruz in overseeing all aspects of the program. During the 2005 season, Beringhele coached third base and assisted with the Lions' offense. He joined the LMU baseball staff last winter after 15 years with UCLA. Serving as the hitting instructor and recruiting coordinator for UCLA, Beringhele tutored the likes of Troy Glaus, Chase Utley, Eric Valent, Eric Byrnes, Ryan McGuire, Michael Moore, Chris Pritchett, Joel Wolfe, and Paul Ellis, all of whom were drafted in the top five rounds. During his final eight seasons with UCLA, Beringhele's hitters posted a .301 batting average and averaged over 80 home runs per season.

In his time with UCLA, the Bruins credited Beringhele with bringing the top high school talent in California to the program. Beringhele's 1997 signees were named the top newcomers in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. His 2003 recruiting class also received a top-five ranking from Baseball America. Beringhele helped guide the Bruins to the College World Series in 2000. After losing the first game at the Midwest Regional, Beringhele's 1997 team battled back to win five in a row (including two over Oklahoma State on its home field) to advance to the Series. Before beginning his coaching career, Beringhele played in the Los Angeles Dodgers' minor league system for three years for Lethbridge, Vero Beach, and Bakersfield. In 1983, he batted .338 at Lethbridge. He tied for the league lead in hits (94) with teammate and former Dodger Jeff Hamilton. In 1984, he batted .256 for the Vero Beach Dodgers, collecting 100 walks in 100 games. Beringhele completed his playing career in 1985, playing for Vero Beach and Bakersfield. Beringhele graduated from Loyola High as a two-sport standout in baseball and football before becoming UCLA's starting center fielder from 1981 to 1983 and a career .319 hitter. He signed with the Dodgers after his junior year, but not before leaving a mark on the Bruin record book after three seasons of play. Beringhele's 138 career walks is the second-highest total in Bruin history, while his 46 career stolen base mark is tenth-best in school history. His 61 walks in 1982 is fourth on the single-season chart. The former UCLA great continues his work with Cruz, as he began his coaching career as an assistant for Cruz's University High School team before spending two seasons (1988-89) at Cal State Los Angeles. Beringhele also worked with Cruz in the summer of 2004 during the selection process for the gold-medal winning USA Baseball National Team. Beringhele has a bachelor of arts in sociology from UCLA. He and his wife, Trudy, along with their daughter, Betina, reside in Culver City.

ASSISTANT COACH ROBBIE MOEN Robbie Moen is in his sixth season as the Lions’ hitting coach. With the conclusion of the 2005 season, which saw the Lions host the West Coast Conference Championship series for the fourth time in seven seasons, Moen had coached the Lions to three .300 or better offensive seasons in the last four years. Moen, who came to LMU in 2001, brought a background of offensive power to the program, helping the 2003 team to a WCC-leading batting average (.309), slugging percentage (.443), onbase percentage (.443), and hits (602). Prior to LMU, he spent four seasons at Kansas State as the hitting and outfield coach. His history of building averages continues to be an asset to LMU's traditionally potent offense. Moen and the 2002 Lions put up WCC-leading offensive numbers in batting average (.352), on base percentage (.425), hits (386), doubles (76), and stolen bases. Among the WCC's batting average leaders, Moen coached numbers four (Lockin, .421), six (Smith, .404), ten (Frazee, .383), 15 (Higashi, .362), and 16 (Perez, .361). Moen also tutored successful LMU hitters C.J. Wilson (5th round, Rangers) and Josh Whitesell (6th round, Expos). In 1997, Moen's first season at Kansas State, the team shattered school records in at-bats (2,052), hits (669), doubles (145), home runs (75), RBI (477) and total bases (1,099). His tenure at K-State also included two of the program's three batting champions that hit over .400 the past decade. This included one of KSU's most potent offensive weapons in outfielder Kasey Weishaar, who ranked second in the Big 12 and 16th nationally with a .429 batting average. The first-team All-Big 12 and All-America honorable mention player established a single-season batting record with his performance under the guidance of Moen. A 1993 graduate of the University of Arizona, Moen was an assistant at his alma mater following a four-year playing career for the Wildcats. He finished his career at Arizona second in career at-bats (843) and doubles (63),

third in career hits (325) and total bases (465) and fifth in career RBI (185). He was recently selected to the All-Century team at Arizona. A former minor leaguer for the Florida Marlins, Moen was a first-team AllRegion Eight, first-team All-Pac Six, and a Baseball America, Sporting News, and Collegiate Baseball All-American in 1993 at Arizona. A year prior, he was an All-Pac Six honorable mention selection. In 1991, he won the Hank Lieber Award as Arizona's best hitter with a .402 batting average. Following that season, he was a first-team All-Pac Six designated hitter and a first-team All-Region Eight selection. In October of 2003, Moen was honored by his high school, Flowing Wells, with an induction into their Athletic Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a player. The Tucson, Arizona native was a member of the first class of inductees. Moen has a degree in health sciences. He and his wife, Chrisdee, reside in Playa del Rey with their daughters, Payton and Paige.

2006 LMU

BASEBALL

2005wccreview est Coast Conference baseball competition continues its long history in 2006. After years of a two-division format, the league will alter the format for the 2006 season. Each team will meet for one three-game series, with the top two teams advancing to the WCC Championship Series. The winner of the title series wins the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. LMU, Pepperdine, Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara, San Francisco, San Diego, Portland and Gonzaga comprise the baseball alignment. Gonzaga and Portland, long-time members in every other conference sport, joined the league in baseball in 1996 after migrating from the Pacific-10 North Division. Baseball was originally established as a conference sport in 1968. From 1977-84, WCC teams competed with teams from the Big West Conference in the Northern California Baseball Association (Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, and Santa Clara), and the Southern California Baseball Association (LMU, Pepperdine, and San Diego). The WCC sponsors championships in 13 sports for men and women: baseball, men and women’s basketball, women's crew, men and women’s cross country, men and women's golf, men and women’s soccer, men and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

nohitter The only no-hitter thrown in LMU history belongs to Bob Seus, who did not surrender a hit at Long Beach State in a 9-0 LMU win on March 14, 1980. Only three runners reached base against the right-handed junior, as Seus allowed two walks and hit one batter, but faced the minimum 27 batters.

MATT MULLER LION AWARD The Matt Muller Lion Award is bestowed upon members of LMU baseball teams whose actions represent the program with pride, dignity and respect. The award was established in 1997 by Head Coach Frank Cruz when he assumed responsibility of the program. Renamed in honor of Matthew John Muller following his tragic and unexpected death on November 10, 1999, the honor is awarded to players who represent the team and the university in the highest regard. The cornerstone of the award circles around hard work, dedication to the sport, competing at the highest possible level, and promoting a team environment. Simply put, a recipient of the Matt Muller Lion Award wears the uniform the way it is expected to be worn.

LMU BASEBALL’S RETIRED JERSEYS

For the first time in the history of LMU Athletics, the jerseys of three former Lion baseball players were retired during the 2000 season. The three individuals, Tim Layana (No. 54), Jerry Stone (No. 10) and Billy Bean (No. 44), not only distinguished themselves as some of the best athletes in the country, but also represented LMU with dignity and pride. A ceremony was held to officially retire the jerseys of these outstanding individuals. Their names, numbers and accomplishments will forever be etched into LMU history.

54 TIM LAYANA One of the greatest pitchers in LMU history, Tim Layana had his jersey retired during pregame ceremonies prior to LMU’s game against San Francisco on March 11, 2000. Layana’s prowess helped guide the Lions to the College World Series in 1986. A first-team All-WCC pick as a senior, Layana was tabbed the conference Pitcher of the Year and earned first-team AllDistrict VIII honors. Selected a second-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association following the 1986 campaign, Layana rewrote many of the pitching records in LMU baseball history. His 12 complete games, 17 wins, and 170.2 innings pitched all set new single-season school records which still stand. The career-record holder in innings pitched (511), strikeouts (405), complete games (33), and wins (35), Layana’s marks will be difficult for future LMU players to surpass. Guiding the Lions to their second conference title and second NCAA Regional berth in 1986, Layana, who tragically passed away in an automobile accident on June 25, 1999, completed a fantastic collegiate career and was drafted in 1986 in the third round by the New York Yankees. Inducted into the LMU Athletic Hall of Fame, Layana played professionally with the Yankees, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. Although he did not appear on Cincinnati’s roster during its World Series sweep of the Oakland Athletics in 1990, Layana posted a record of 5-3 that year with a 3.49 ERA. He also had two saves in 55 appearances. Layana totaled a 5-5 career record in the majors with two saves in 78 appearances. 10 JERRY STONE A three-year starter for the Lions, Jerry Stone played an integral role in guiding Loyola to its first conference baseball championship in 1973. One of the greatest catchers in school history, Stone had his jersey retired on March 11, 2000, prior to LMU’s game against USF. Stone, a first-team All-WCAC and All-District VIII pick his junior year, also earned first-team AllAmerica accolades issued by Collegiate Baseball. A switch-hitter during the wooden bat era, Stone still ranks as an all-time top-ten statistical leader at LMU in single-season walks (45), while his 106 career walks rank No. 5. He hit above .300 for each of his three seasons with the Lions. One of Stone’s greatest accomplishments included leading the Lions to their first postseason appearance in school history, a berth in the NCAA District VIII playoffs in 1973. He was drafted in the fourth round by the San Diego Padres.

44 BILLY BEAN Possibly one of the greatest hitters to ever grace the diamond at LMU, Billy Bean had his jersey retired on March 11, 2000, during pregame ceremonies prior to LMU’s game against USF. Bean was one of many great players who helped guide the Lions to the 1986 College World Series. A two-time first-team All-WCC and All-District-VIII pick, Bean earned honorable-mention AllAmerica honors following his junior year by Collegiate Baseball. With an even greater performance his senior year, Bean was tabbed a second-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1986. Holding a top spot in 20 different statistical categories throughout his career, Bean still ranks second in seven of those categories including at bats (822), runs scored (216), hits (290), RBI (204), triples (16), total bases (449) and walks (150). In 225 career games, Bean’s career average of .353 ranks 10th in the all-time record books. The top record holder in a single season with 84 runs scored and 66 walks, Bean also enjoyed a great professional career as he was picked in the fourth round of the MLB Draft by the Detroit Tigers.
