Unearthing Links to Santa Clara’s History Remnants of Ohlone, Yokut culture found beneath campus Sophie Mattson
The Santa Clara What has been labeled by a university archaeologist as the most intensive excavation ever conducted on a California mission continued this past month. The dig on the Santa Clara campus yielded comprehensive information about the Native American population that lived in the area over 200 years ago. Among the artifacts and features found are parts of at least three adobe houses, pottery, various metal objects and pits that were filled up with trash, according to Lee Panich, an archaeologist and assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology. Fieldwork in the area began in May 2012 on the north side of Franklin Street between Alviso Street and The Alameda, in order to build the new parking structure. Another excavation took place in front of the Mission Church as a condition for the construction of the new Palm Drive. The university’s land was originally home to Mission Santa Clara de Asís, which housed Native Americans between See ARTIFACTS, Page 3

This 1894 oil painting by Andrew Putnam Hill depicts what life was like at Mission Santa Clara de Asís in the middle of the 19th century and can be found in the Harrington Learning Commons. Recent excavations on and around the university campus have uncovered several artifacts that offer a glimpse into the past. The most recent dig site was located in front of the Mission Church. Among the objects found include pottery and metalwork.
New Series Pushes for Water Conservation Business school responds to state’s dry conditions Eryn Olson
The Santa Clara Although students were welcomed back to campus with a heavy dose of rainfall this week, California is still experiencing the worst drought in its history. In response, the Leavey School of Business’ Food and Agribusiness Institute is hosting a five-event series to address its consequences and possible water-saving solutions. “Save Don’t Squander: A Series on the Impact of the California Drought” began on Wednesday with
a panel of representatives from the California Department of Water Resources, Santa Clara Valley Water District, the San Jose Water Company and the Santa Clara Facilities Department. David Sandino, senior staff counsel for the California Department of Water Resources, discussed the state’s dwindling water supply. “This drought might be an opportunity for California to look real hard and make a permanent commitment to water conservation,” said Sandino. The driest year in California’s recorded history was 2013. This year has been better, but the state remains in its third consecutive dry year. Each person in Santa Clara County uses about 138 gallons of water per day, according to senior water conservation specialist for the

Santa Clara Valley Water District Karen Koppert. Roughly half of that water is used outdoors, so Koppert emphasized the need for altering landscaping. “(Santa Clara) has been great in leading the way,” Koppert said, “especially with recycled water irrigation.” This drought series has five different presentations planned throughout spring quarter. The second event will take place today at 5 p.m. in Lucas Hall. The three remaining discussions will include the perspectives from a local farm researching ultra-low water use methods, the Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and the California food banks.

1. Chile’s quake causes minor damage: Hard-won expertise and a big dose of luck helped Chile escape its latest magnitude-8.2 earthquake with surprisingly little destruction and death. Chile is one of the world’s most seismic countries and is particularly prone to tsunamis. The country that suffers some of the world’s most powerful quakes has strict building codes, mandatory evacuations and emergency preparedness that sets a global example. But Chileans weren’t satisfied Wednesday, finding much room
for improvement. And experts warn that a “seismic gap” has left northern Chile overdue for a far bigger quake. Authorities on Wednesday discovered just six reported deaths from the previous night’s quake. It’s possible that other people were killed in older structures made of adobe in remote communities that weren’t immediately accessible, but it’s still a very low toll for such a powerful shift in the undersea fault that runs along the length of South America’s Pacific coast. From AP Reports.

2. Yanukovych admits mistakes on Crimea: Defensive and at times tearful, Ukraine’s ousted president conceded Wednesday that he made a mistake when he invited Russian troops into Crimea and vowed to try to negotiate with Vladimir Putin to get the coveted Black Sea peninsula back. “Crimea is a tragedy, a major tragedy,” Viktor Yanukovych told The Associated Press in his first interview since fleeing to Russia in February, following months of long protests focused on corruption and his decision to seek closer ties to
Russia instead of the European Union. Putin said last month that Yanukovych had asked Russia to send its troops to Crimea to protect its people — a request seen as treason by many Ukrainians. Russian troops quickly overran Crimea, which has an ethnic Russian majority, taking over government and military facilities on the pretext of protecting Russians. Asked about the move, Yanukovych said he made a mistake. From AP Reports.

Artifacts Excavated on Mission Campus
COURTESY OF LINDA HYLKEMA
Objects including beads and copper cooking pots were excavated from archaeological sites on and around campus. What could be one of the best preserved Native American neighborhoods in California has made significant contributions to colonial studies. Continued from Page 1
the 1780s and 1840s. According to
Panich, roughly 1,400 Native Americans, one or two missionaries and several soldiers occupied the mis-
sion during any given year. The Native American population consisted mainly of various Ohlone
groups from as far as Santa Cruz and Livermore, and some Yokut people from the San Joaquin Valley. These groups constructed all of the buildings and crafts at Mission Santa Clara, on top of tending the fields and caring for the livestock. According to Panich, archaeological remains related to the mission’s populations were previously unearthed during the construction of the new Jesuit Residence and Lucas Hall. “Until now, it is probably the best preserved Native American neighborhood at any California Mission as far as we know, so it a really significant site,” Panich said. Other artifacts such as shell and glass beads along with gaming items were also among the unearthed objects, according to Santa Clara’s Cultural Resources Manager and campus archaeologist Linda Hylkema. Additionally, two copper cooking pots found were the first to be archaeologically recovered from a mission-era California excavation. “We have a few of what we think are updraft kilns used for firing pottery, we think we have food storage, and we have what might be a semisubterranean dwelling, like a pit
house or a sweat house,” Hylkema said. The Mission Period sites on and around campus, including two burial grounds, have yielded revelations about Native American mission life. “The missionaries constructed adobe barracks where the Native Americans would live, but the archaeology on campus actually shows that they also lived in their traditional thatched dwellings,” Panich said. “They found the remains of one under where the Leavey School of Business is now, which is the only one documented archaeologically in California.” There have been efforts to pay tribute to this historic neighborhood. In the new parking structure, the original location of an unearthed adobe house is outlined in the pavement, and a commemorative plaque will be placed there. “This site already has made huge contributions to colonial studies in California,” Hylkema said. “I could not even say how many research papers could come out of this excavation. The potential is huge.” Contact Sophie Mattson at smattson@scu.edu or call (408) 554-4852.
Students Aided Death Artistically Portrayed
Platform designed to guide and advise college majors Sophie Mattson
The Santa Clara One pressing question on any college student’s mind is often whether or not their major will lead to stable employment in the future. In response to this question, MajorsToCareers was built to help guide recent graduates in the right direction. MajorsToCareers, founded a year ago by Southern California mother Janice Partyka, allows college students and graduates to share their experiences in their majors and in the workforce. Partyka was inspired to create the website after hearing her children’s questions about where their majors would lead them. “It seemed to me that college-aged students need a way to connect to recent graduates and upperclassmen about what their majors lead to,” Partyka said. According to Partyka, upperclassmen or recent college graduates answer questions on the website about their major. Topics include how former students would rate their major, whether they would recommend studying a certain major to other students and what types of work opportunities they had. In order to protect the integrity of the website, Partyka said that students are not paid to contribute their experiences. “We take over a hundred occupations and we rate them on how much the market is growing in that field, on unemployment and salary,” Partyka said. “We (also) have what you would be doing on a day-to-day
basis in a particular occupation, and what are the best cities for the occupation. We are trying to give people a more day-to-day view of occupations because what you do every day is probably going to determine how much you like your job.” Partyka has found that even more technically-based degrees vary in the way that they assist students in obtaining employment. “Even with computer science your occupation depends on what your focus is on,” Partyka said. “The unemployment rate for some computer science majors is high depending on what you specialize in. (In addition), if you are going to have a major like anthropology or English, it is really good to see what other kids are doing.” The Santa Clara Career Center, also available to students, is constantly looking for new ways to improve the career services they offer. “We just recently participated in a consulting project with a class on campus specifically about freshmen engagement and how to communicate with freshmen around career development and thinking about their major,” said Jennifer Ferrari, director of Arts and Sciences in the Career Center. “In general, we are often looking for the best ways to communicate and connect with students.” Partyka, who already has one contributor on her website from Santa Clara, would like more upperclassmen and graduates to contribute anecdotes about their occupational experiences. “Nobody has more recent information than the people who just graduated,” Partyka said. “Some people do really interesting things with their degrees that you would never think of.”
“We are trying to give people a more day-to-day view of occupations.”

Tandy Beal & Co. explored the possibilities of what follows our life on earth through dramatic theatre, dance video and spoken words. After the performance, a panel comprised of religious leaders and professors discussed the meaning of mortality.
Professional performance sparks discussion Nicolas Sonnenburg Associate Reporter
Actors and dancers from Tandy Beal & Co. led audiences through a two–hour exploration of mortality, realities and the mysteries of death in the Mayer Theatre this past weekend. The performance, Hereafterhere: A Self-Guided Tour of Eternity, intertwined the arts of dramatic theatre, dance, video and spoken word with the beliefs and traditions surrounding death from a collection of cultures from around the world. This performance encouraged the discussion of what follows our life on earth, rather than an answer to the question of where we go when we die. The play incorporated a variety of cultural elements. Viewers listened to the famous last words of visionaries ranging from Sigmund Freud to Groucho Marx, and to the didactic texts of societies as widespread as the Jewish people to
those of the ancient tribes of Africa. Dancers dressed in flowing gowns responded to voiceovers with serene — yet expressive — movement. Video clips of diverse individuals were interspersed throughout the performance, each expressing their own hopes, fears, expectations and questions about death. “I’ve always been fascinated with death,” said director Tandy Beal. “Everyone is going to do it, but no one wants to talk about it.” The performance was brought to the school through the Department of Theatre and Dance and the Justice for the Arts program, a part of SCU Presents that seeks to integrate social issues with the artistic world. Beal believes strongly in the connection between the two worlds. “I’m at the point in my life where art and service need to connect,” said Beal. “It doesn’t make sense to me that they don’t.” Barbara Murray, chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance, was influential in bringing the show to campus. “I saw it a number of years ago and I just thought, this is something so Santa Clara,” said Murray. “Santa Clara needs to see this. Of all the things I have seen done by
(Beal)’s company, this is the one that tied in most with the university’s mission.” Tandy Beal & Co. has a long history and strong tie with the university. Beal lectured at Santa Clara for several years in the past, and choreographed Images, one of the dances for a student performance in Santa Clara’s annual dance review. Each performance, taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, drew audiences of approximately 200 to 250 people. The performances were followed by a question-and-answer session led by representatives from Hospice, the Center for Living with Dying and the Center for Spiritual Enlightenment. The show was also accompanied by a series of panel discussions on the process of death, intended to help further contemplation of the end of life beyond the stage. Among the speakers was a variety of religious leaders as well as professors of religion, philosophy and anthropology from both Santa Clara and University of California, Berkeley. Beal has hopes to find a producer for the show and take it on tour. Contact Nicolas Sonnenburg at nsonnenburg@scu.edu.

Yearly Event to Celebrate Diverse Cultures Heritages from around the world come together Victoria Yu
The Santa Clara What better way to kick off a new quarter at Santa Clara than with the Multicultural Center’s 28th annual Global Village, an event involving tasty food, entertaining performances, exciting games and music from DJ Too Tall. This Sunday, April 6, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., “The Bend” located by the intersection of Market Street and The Alameda will be filled with various booths hosted by Santa Clara student organizations. The event’s theme, “It’s A Small World!,” relates to bringing people of all backgrounds, lifestyles and cultures together – one of Global Village’s major goals. Although initially designed to specifically celebrate the different cultures on campus, Global Village has ultimately broadened its mission to promote diversity in regard to Santa Clara’s clubs and student groups as well. With 20 to 25 different Santa Clara organizations such as Associated Student Government and all nine MCC clubs represented at this street fair, Global Village is open for all to attend and learn about the wide range of cultures on campus. The event offers a wide array of activities and services, including a

large inflatable obstacle course and a booth with balloon animal artists. In addition, as a way of sharing their culture with others, all MCC clubs will sell popular, traditional foods pertaining to their respective cultures. Egg puffs from the Chinese Student Association and a sweet fresco drink from MeChA are just a few of the various refreshments offered at the event. Seven food trucks will also be present and ready to serve fresh food. Individuals can further enjoy free performances from different student organizations, including
Hipnotik, Salsa Clara and three of Santa Clara’s a cappella groups. Many of the MCC clubs will perform traditional cultural dances as well, previewing the types of dances featured in their upcoming culture shows, which take place later this year. The MCC will also host a raffle at the event for prizes and will donate all profits to Family Supportive Housing, a local organization aiding families in overcoming hunger and poverty. The MCC ultimately hopes that Global Village will not only provide

a true picture of the ever-growing diversity within the Santa Clara community itself, but also bring support to the community. Current junior Janice Fu, one of the leaders organizing the event, firmly believes that Global Village impacts the Santa Clara area in a greater way. “Global Village provides an opportunity for people from both Santa Clara and the surrounding community to interact,” says Fu. “It impacts the community in a really unique way and brings everyone together.” Indeed, from amazing food to
By spring quarter, opportunities have been plentiful to hold a bonfire at Santa Cruz, browse the shops at Santana Row or run a 5K. Now, it’s time for something new. If you’ve ever wondered where to find the indie scene in the South Bay, look no further. Newly remodeled Fuego Lounge will be hosting its grand opening in Santa Clara on Sunday, April 6, featuring local indie musicians. The lineup includes Erin O’Neill, The Welcome Matt, Mark Rodriguez, artist Joseph Herrera and Joey Gonzalez, the founder of Fuego Lounge. He and his wife, Kelly Gonzalez, hope to provide local, indie artists and musicians a venue to showcase original work. “We wanted to create a ‘familyfriendly’ type of environment for musicians to come in more on an acoustic performance style,” said Gonzalez. “Pretty much give them different options than going to play at a bar, going to play at a club or coffee houses, where they have to compete for attention.”
The lounge will feature a large stage with bistro tables to complement the intimate setting. Both heavily involved in the local indie and art scenes in the Bay Area and in Denver, Kelly’s hometown, the two hope to mingle various locales at Fuego Lounge. In addition to the three-hour show, there will be local food establishments, such as San Jose’s sports bar Blue Chip and Sunnyvale’s Exegete Coffee, which offer signature dishes and custom blends. “It’s kind of like a ‘farmer’s market’ for the art and music scene, if that makes sense,” said Gonzalez. The unique show will become a regular event in Santa Clara, as Fuego Lounge develops and becomes a regular fixture in the city’s social scene, according to Gonzalez. “We’re going to be bringing not only the artists themselves, but also local restaurants, local coffee houses, local whatever,” said Gonzalez, “and they’re going to be bringing in their products.” Anticipate a casual, laid-back environment where lovers of music, art and food can connect and share their work. Tickets are $15 at the door. The show starts at 5:30 p.m. All ages are welcome, so grab a friend, bring your love for new experiences and be a part of the local indie scene.

Lauren Bonney
The Santa Clara It’s the beginning of a new quarter, which brings new classes, new weather and, above all, new experiences. Spring quarter at Santa Clara is a great season to go out and try new things, and what better way to
expand your horizons than to taste some fresh new flavors. Día de Pesca, the restaurant located on North Bascom Avenue, is a fabulous take on traditional Mexican food that would make anyone think that they are dining right next to the ocean instead of in San Jose. This restaurant, like the name
suggests, is all about fish. Fish tacos, fish burritos, fish quesadillas. It is fish galore at Día de Pesca, and it is absolutely delicious. However, Día de Pesca has not always been an established restaurant, and was actually a food truck roaming the streets of the Bay Area in its early stages. However, its amazing flavors and fresh new ideas quickly produced a large following and the Día de Pesca team was able to become a permanent dining facility. Their customers have only increased since the opening of their restaurant and it is not uncommon for there to be a lengthy line of eager consumers emerging from the front door during lunch and dinner time. So, if there is a long line coming out of the door, be patient because the food is totally worth it. And just a little heads up, the restaurant is cash only, but if you happen to drive by on a whim and have left your bills at home, the restaurant has an ATM located conveniently inside the establishment. Día de Pesca’s menu is a little overwhelming because it has so
many scrumptious options that it is often difficult to make a decision. The menu has every kind of fish you can think of to include in your meal including halibut, scallops, prawns and even octopus. The fried halibut tacos and burrito are to die for and the fish is melt-in-yourmouth good. But if you are thinking about a more simple meal, the scallop quesadilla is a great take on an old classic. For you non-fish eaters out there, the restaurant also offers typical proteins, like chicken, pork and beef, but step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Everything on the menu is relatively inexpensive, so feel free to splurge a little bit and buy the “Sí Food” Super Sampler platter, which offers a variety of Mexican seafood dishes. Take advantage of the spring quarter and try something new with Día de Pesca, where seafood becomes “sí food.” Contact Lauren Bonney at lbonney@scu.edu or call (408) 554-4852.

BRONCO BRIEFS Boxing You might not know by looking at her, but freshman Cameron McCarthy is pound-for-pound one of the best boxers in the nation. McCarthy will be the first Santa Clara student to participate in the National Collegiate Boxing Association women’s championships. The event is scheduled for this weekend in West Point, New York. McCarthy will square off against a fighter she competed against in regionals. “I’m a straightforward fighter and so is she,” said McCarthy. “I beat her in all three rounds, so hopefully this fight will go well.” The championship bout will be televised on the CBS Sports Network on April 5.
Baseball The Santa Clara baseball team spent the end of its spring break in Stockton, Calif. for a three-game series against the University of the Pacific. The Broncos ended the weekend with a 2-1 record, bringing their West Coast Conference record to 2-4 and 11-17 overall. The Broncos earned their first conference win of the season in Friday’s matchup, taking down the Tigers 6-2. After being tied for most of the game, the Broncos broke away in the sixth and ninth innings to seal the victory. Saturday’s scheduled game was cancelled due to rain, creating a doubleheader scenario on Sunday. The Broncos came away with a split, dropping the first game 7-0, but rebounded to win Game 2 by one run 7-6. Sophomore Kyle Cortopassi, a Stockton native, knocked in the game-winning run in the top of the ninth inning. The team will take the diamond for another threegame series against the University of Portland at Stephen Schott Stadium this weekend.

The Santa Clara Taking a break from West Coast Conference match play, the Santa Clara men’s tennis team cruised to a 7-0 rout of the Bearcats from Willamette University at home on Friday. With the victory, the now No. 67-ranked Santa Clara squad ended its two-match losing skid and moved to 11-4 on the season. “To be honest, it was a match we always knew we should win,” said assistant coach Aaron Paajanen. “Regardless, it was still important that guys came prepared to compete and win.” That they did. All eight Bronco competitors triumphed in either singles and doubles action in blowout fashion. “It was a good way for us to turn things around and move in a positive direction,” said senior John Lamble. As they have been doing for a majority of the season, Santa Clara’s No. 1 doubles pair of Lamble and junior Ilya Osintsev came out on the winning end of their

The tandem made quick work of the Willamette pairing, eventually claiming the 8-1 victory. “Both guys are talented players and good competitors,” said Paajanen. “Both guys compliment each other’s games well.” Paajanen noted that Lamble’s focus and determination coupled with Osintsev’s physical traits and athletic ability make for a formidable duo that can compete day in and day out. In the other doubles matches, the Santa Clara pairings of Ashot Khacharyan alongside Mikheil Khmiadashvili and Michael Tjuatjadarma side-by-side with Sam Bertram dismantled the Bearcat tandems both by a score of 8-0. Santa Clara’s success in doubles carried

over into the individual matchups. “All eight guys got to play at one point or another so everyone was able to contribute a win for the team,” said Paajanen. In singles play, every Santa Clara competitor rolled to a straight set victory. The closest any Willamette challenger came to a Bronco was 6-3 in the first set of the match between Santa Clara’s Khmiadashvili and the Bearcats’ Will Cooper. The squad will look to capitalize from Friday’s victory and use that momentum to find the win column after falling in their previous two West Coast Conference matches. “Playing two tough conference opponents on the road last week didn’t take away from what we have done or prevent us from staying focused on our goals as a team for the rest of the season,” said
Paajanen. The Broncos currently find themselves in the middle of the pack in the conference standings. The team is 2-2 in WCC play, good for fifth place with just over half of the conference season to be played in the next three weeks. Santa Clara will resume WCC play by welcoming the third-place Toreros from the University of San Diego to the Degheri Tennis Center on April 4. The following afternoon, Santa Clara will clash with the Cougars from Brigham Young University. “(The) next two matches are very important for us,” said Osintsev. “I think the key to win both of them is to have a good start meaning winning a doubles point.” Contact Brendan Weber at bweber@scu. edu or call (408) 554-4852.
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Meghan Shain Women’s Golf The sophomore collected a holein-one at the Anuenue Spring Break Classic in Maui, Hawaii. What was your immediate reaction after making your hole-in-one? My immediate reaction was just complete shock.
Where does this shot rank among your all-time career golf moments? Easily in my top three. I’ve had some great moments, but hole-inones are rare so to be able to share that experience with my team, coaches and parents at such an amazing place as Hawaii (was) an amazing moment.

Sports Tickets Made Easy
Diving in for Conference Tests
I
magine taking the Caltrain up to the city for a San Francisco Giants game with nothing but your Buster Posey jersey and a cell phone. That’s right, you don’t even have a ticket to the game that starts in less than an hour. Sound crazy? Well, a local startup called Gametime has ensured that it’s not crazy at all. For the first time ever, sports fans can buy paperless tickets on their mobile device minutes before a game and still get to their seats before the first pitch, tipoff or puck drop. There’s no printing involved and tickets are sometimes discounted up to 80 percent off retail price. “The secret is in the expiring asset nature of tickets,” Gametime CEO Brad Griffith told the Marina Times. “Tickets are essentially worth nothing an hour or so after the game begins, so sellers get very competitive within minutes of tipoff. Like Hotel Tonight or Uber, you can summon something you need right on your phone and use it within minutes. It’s the future of entertainment.” Griffith came up with the idea for Gametime in 2012 when he and his brother had purchased Giants playoff tickets from a similar mobile app but missed the first part of the game because they couldn’t find anywhere to print the tickets. Bay Area sports fans know the excitement that comes when Pablo Sandoval hits a home run for the Giants, Patrick Marleau scores a goal for the Sharks or Stephen Curry drains a 3-pointer for the Warriors. For most college-age fans, these moments appear on a television screen rather than in person due to the budgetary constraints associated with being a student. Attending a sporting event can be expensive. Gametime has swooped in to solve this problem by partnering with sports venues that want to get rid of their unsold tickets. The result is extremely marked-down prices on Gametime. The San Francisco-based app is free to download and compatible with any iOS or Android device. After linking a payment card, users are just a few clicks away from having the tickets electronically delivered to their phones, which can then be scanned at the venue just like a paper ticket. Each ticket can also be sent to other people via text message or email even if they have not downloaded the app. According to Griffith, his company created an algorithm that finds the best ticket deals by price and seat. “We only show you the 25 best (options), not an impossibly long list,” said Griffith. “The last-minute nature of the app allows you to watch prices fall, buy tickets and show your barcodes on your phone at the gate.” Gametime started out by tackling the Bay Area and Los Angeles sports markets, but has recently launched in Chicago, New York and Boston.

Water polo splits Southern California road trip Ivan Munoz
The Santa Clara The No. 18 Santa Clara women’s water polo team initiated Golden Coast Conference play by splitting two games down south this past weekend. The Broncos defeated Azusa Pacific University by a score of 10-8 on Friday but were edged by Loyola Marymount University 9-7 the following day. “Winning these conference games is key in terms of seeding for the conference championship tournament,” said senior Kaitlin Murphy. “The higher our seeding, the better position we put ourselves in for achieving the GCC title.” The first of six conference games for Santa Clara, which will continue over the next few weeks, began with a trip to Azusa, Calif. to take on the Cougars from Azusa Pacific.
Sophomore Elle Surber netted the first goal of the game, giving the Broncos a 1-0 lead, but the advantage would not last long. Azusa responded quickly, scoring three goals to take a 3-1 lead at the end of the first quarter. For the second time of the match, Santa Clara responded with a player advantage. The Broncos’ Ashleigh Bandimere cut the deficit to one goal during the beginning stages of the second quarter. The game was a constant battle between both sides from that moment forward. Azusa scored another goal to regain control, but the Broncos fought back and tied the match at 4 with two goals of their own from sophomore Elizabeth Anderson and senior Laura Burtness. Following the break, both teams continued to fight for the lead. With Azusa up by one in the waning seconds of the third quarter, Murphy led the charge and netted the equalizer, setting up a final quarter to decide the outcome of the match. The Broncos would go on to score two more goals and the
squad remained stout on the defensive end to come away with the two-point road victory. “The conference win against Azusa was big,” said Murphy. “We hadn’t seen Azusa since last year and with each outgoing and incoming class, we didn’t know what to expect from them. They came out really physical and determined and although it was close, we came out with a win in the end.” The Broncos faced Loyola Marymount — an intimidating conference rival — the following day in another back-and-forth matchup. The Broncos took an early 1-0 lead after a made penalty shot from sophomore Erin Sheridan but the Lions responded, evening the score between the two sides. Santa Clara managed to grab a two-goal lead in the third quarter, but the Lions went on a 5-1 scoring run over the remainder of the match to capture the win. Murphy finished with four goals in the loss. “The game on Saturday just slipped away from us at the end, but keeping up with debatably

one of the strongest teams in our conference gives me a good feeling going into the conference championships,” said Murphy. “Although they won this game, we’ll beat them when it really counts.” Seven more games remain on Santa Clara’s schedule going forward, four of which will be conference matchups. Santa Clara will dive in the pool for its next game on April 5 against Fresno Pacific University before returning home to take on the University of the Pacific and California State University, East Bay less than 24 hours later. Murphy has mixed emotions as the season starts to wind down. “As we approach the end of the year, it’s hitting me really hard that this is the last season I’ll ever play water polo,” she said. “It’s bittersweet, but I look forward to finishing strong with such a fantastic group of girls. We have our eyes set on that Golden Coast Conference title and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to get it.” Contact Ivan Munoz at imunoz@ scu.edu or call (408) 554-4852.
