SCIAC 2023-24 Year in Review

The Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) was formed in 1915 when five Southern California institutions combined for the purpose of promoting and governing competition in intercollegiate sports with the frundamental principle of the conference being to encourage the highest ideals of amateur sports in an environment of high academic standards. While the mission of the conference has remained intact since the beginning, the membership has varied over the years. The five charter members - California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Occidental College, Pomona College, University of Redlands, and Whittier College - are still members; however, Occidental and Redlands are the only institutions with uninterrupted membership.

Dear friends and family of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference,

NCAA Division III student-athletes are asking for your support in creating a positive game environment for us. The Division III experience offers participation in an elite athletic environment that pushes student-athletes to excel in and out of competition. The student-athletes’ involvement in intercollegiate activities contributes to the development of their core values, such as fairness, integrity, honesty, and respect. These values are an integral part of a competitive, yet positive game environment.

The following are expectations of the passionate friends and family of our student-athletes:

• To respect student-athletes, coaches, officials, and other fans in all aspects (no personal attacks, profanity, etc.) before, after and during the contest

• No substance abuse of any kind during contests

• Let the coaches coach and the players play

• Be Loud, Be Proud, Be Positive

The NCAA is committed to promoting good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches, parents, and other fans at all athletic events. Profanity, disrespect, alcohol abuse, and personal attacks will not be tolerated and are subject for removal from the athletic event site. Thank you for your support in making a positive game environment for all Division III student-athletes.

Sponsored by NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Advisory Committee

There’s an urgent need for sports officials in this nation. More people are needed to step up to do the tough job of making sure sports are fairly played, well-managed and safe environments for all participants and spectators.

Sports officiating is a challenging job, but there are great rewards. To be a successful official, you will need mental toughness, good people skills and thick skin. Sports officiating will inherently teach you all of those skills and much more. If you love sports, you will have the best view of the game as an official. More importantly, officiating will teach you how to view the games in a whole new light – one that emphasizes fairness, integrity, decisiveness and sound judgement. Get ready to challenge yourself and start one of the most rewarding jobs you’ll ever have!

SCIAC Non-Discrimination Policy

The SCIAC and its member institutions are committed to the diversity and inclusion of its student-athletes, athletics administrators and staff, which is a point of pride and a hallmark of the conference and each institution. The framework for our commitment to diversity sits within our active prohibition of discrimination in our educational policies, employment, campus services and activities on the basis of age, class, creed, disability, educational background, gender expression, gender identity, geographical location, income, marital status, national origin, parental status, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, work experience, and allclassifications protected by law.

WHY WE PLAY DIVISION III ATHLETICS

It’s not about getting a scholarship, getting drafted, or making SportsCenter. It’s a deep need in us that comes from the heart.

We need to practice, to play, to lift, to hustle, to sweat. We do it all for our teammates and for the student in our calculus class that we don’t even know.

We don’t practice with a future major league first baseman; we practice with a future sports agent.

We don’t lift weights with a future Olympic wrestler; we lift with a future doctor.

We don’t run with a future Wimbledon champion; we run with a future CEO.

It’s a bigger part of us than our friends and family can understand.

Sometimes we play for 2,000 fans; sometimes 25. But we still play hard.You cheer for us because you know us.

We don’t sign autographs. But we do sign graduate school applications, MCAT exams, and student body petitions.

You know more than just our names. Like all of you, we are students first.

When we miss a kick or strike out, we don’t let down an entire state. We only let down our teammates, coaches, and fans. But the hurt is still the same.

We train hard, lift, throw, run, kick, tackle, shoot, dribble, and lift some more, and in the morning we go to class. And in that class we are nothing more than students.

It’s about pride-in ourselves, in our school.

It’s about our love and passion for the game. And when it’s over, when we walk off that court or field for the last time, our hearts crumble. Those tears are real. But deep down inside, we are very proud of ourselves.

We will forever be what few can claim...college athletes.

Pomona-Pitzer Colleges’ Lucas Florsheim is the Athlete of the Year after a superb effort leading a host of his teammates to the team title. he ran with teammates Derek Fearon and Cameron Hatler early before distancing himself as runner-up Rohan Agrawal of Caltech moved into a clear second position. Florsheim crossed the finish line at 24:44.3 for a nine-second victory after finishing second in 2022 and seventh in 2021.

Teammate Peter Neid became the Sagehens’ second consecutive Newcomer of the Year honoree after matching the 20th-place finish of last year’s winner, Jack Stein.With five seconds to spare, Neid made the All-SCIAC Second Team as the top rookie finisher in the field with a time of 25:46.8.

The Ray Adkinson Award, named for the sport’s inaugural conference champion from Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges in 1915, was presented to Fearon, the 2022 SCIAC Athlete of the Year and a history major who has compiled a 3.97 cumulative grade-point average at Pomona College, where he also plays the viola in the orchestra and serves as a liaison in the French department.An All-Conference selection in each year he has competed as well as All-West Region and All-America in his first two seasons to this point, he has been instrumental in the Sagehens winning back-to-back NCAA West Region team titles and the 2021 national championship. He is a vocal team leader who pushes everyone to compete fairly with high character, even urging his teammates on at every practice while recovering from injury earlier in his senior season and coming back to place third at this year’s championship race.

Caltech’s Kelli Blake was honored with Coaching Staff of the Year recognition after leading the Beavers to a tie for third place at the championship meet, including two individual First Team All-Conference performances.The Orange and White rebounded from a fifthplace finish in 2022, where they were also picked in the Preseason Poll, to edge the Leopards, who have been ranked as high as No. 26 in the nation this season, on a tiebreaker.

The Sagehens once again led all teams with five First Team and nine total All-Conference performers, with Colin Kirkpatrick and Stein cracking the top 10 behind Florsheim, Fearon and Hatler.

2023 SCIAC Champions: Claremont-Mudd-Scripps

The 2023 Women’s Cross Country All-SCIAC Teams have been released following Saturday’s SCIAC Championship. First Team AllSCIAC honors are determined by the top 10 finishers at the conference meet, while the Second Team consists of finishers 11-20.The Newcomer, Ray Adkinson and Coaching Staff of the Year accolades are voted on by the league’s member head coaches in consultation with their teams.

Natalie Bitetti of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges repeated Athlete of the Year with a second consecutive individual title as the Athenas claimed their 13th straight team championship. Leading from start to finish, she was the only runner to break 22 minutes, and by a wide margin at 21:33.9 to win by over 27 seconds in a 1-2-3 finish with teammates Elle Marsyla and Riley Capuano.

Teammate Revere Schmidt became the Athenas’ fourth consecutive Newcomer of the Year, following in the footsteps of Bitetti in 2021 and Marsyla last season. Schmidt narrowly beat out Chapman University’s Brenda Daza by 1.3 seconds for 12th place in the championship race.

Laura Zimmer was another Athena to be recognized with the Celia Peterson Award, named for the sport’s inaugural conference champion from Caltech in 1977.A double major in economics and psychology at Claremont McKenna College, Zimmer was a two-time Second Team All-Conference selection before placing sixth at this year’s championship.

Described by her coach as “the heart and soul of the women’s team,” she has the clear respect of her teammates as their emotional and organizational leader devoted to the care and support of everyone. Graceful in her acceptance of results in competition, she also demonstrates high moral character in all aspects of her life.

The CMS coaches, led by Marina Muncan, were recognized as the Coaching Staff of the Year for a third straight season and seventh dating back to 2016. Having begun the season ranked 12th in the national USTFCCCA poll, the Athenas have rocketed up to No. 2 before securing their 13th consecutive conference title and will be eyeing a strong performance at the NCAA West Regional on Saturday, Nov. 11 on the same Riverside City Cross Country Course.

2023 SCIAC Athlete of the Year

Justin Edwards of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges and Kade Jordan of Chapman University lead the 2023 SCIAC Football All-Conference teams as the Offensive and Defensive Athletes of the Year.

An All-SCIAC First Team selection every year he has competed as well as the 2021 Newcomer of the Year, Edwards led the conference in scoring thanks to a 12-touchdown season in conference play. He became the all-time career touchdown leader in Stags program history while ranking second in the SCIAC with 701 yards on the ground and catching 29 passes out of the backfield for 143 yards.

Jordan was among the league leaders in a majority of statistics for a Panthers defense that allowed 10 points or fewer in five of eight conference games. He tied for the lead with two fumbles forced, third in tackles for loss (8.5) and sixth in both tackles (44) and sacks (3.5).

Teammate Roman Hardin was recognized as the Newcomer of the Year after tying for third in the SCIAC with three interceptions, which all came in the inaugural SCIAC Championship victory. He also tied for 11th with three passes broken up and ranked 16th with 35 tackles as a defensive back.

Four-time All-SCIAC selection Owen Tapia earned the John Zinda Award, presented to a senior player who best exemplifies the high ideals and characteristics demonstrated by John Zinda, the former football coach and athletic director at CMS.Tapia has dedicated his study and career to cancer research as a result of a class assignment that paired him with a young woman with stage 4 pancreatic cancer who passed away just months after their initial meeting. He has since conducted meaningful research in the genetic regulation of cancer through a novel treatment looking at aggressive prostate, breast and pancreatic cancer cell lines. He intends to continue his research toward a PhD and has already authored a paper titled: “Caffeine and Pomegranate Extract Treated COLO-357 Pancreatic Cancer Cells Lead to Downregulation of CDH1 gene.”

Bob Owens and the Panthers sideline were honored as the Coaching Staff of the Year, having bounced back from a winless start to the season with six consecutive victories, including

claiming the inaugural SCIAC Championship Game. Owens’ squad posted both the most points scored and fewest points allowed in conference play with an average score of 26.3-14.5. Under his tutelage this season, eight players were named First Team All-SCIAC and another six made the Second Team.

Chapman led all teams with 14 total selections, including eight on the First Team, which tied Pomona-Pitzer Colleges for tops in the conference.The Sagehens earned 12 total selections, while CMS was next with seven First Team and eight total picks.Tapia made his fourth career All-Conference appearance, having earned First Team recognition in 2021 and 2022 after receiving Second Team honors in 2019. University of Redlands defensive back Scott Tinsley made the First Team for a third consecutive year while teammate Evan Aguon, Chapman’s Donovan Porter, CMS’ Joey Asta and Pomona-Pitzer’s Adam Camargo,Thomas McConnell and Quinten Wimmer all repeated on the First Team.

2023 SCIAC Tournament Champions: Occidental Jarette

Jarette Barajas of the University of Redlands and Evan Karp from Occidental College have been named the SCIAC Offensive and Defensive Athletes of the Year to lead the All-Conference teams in men’s soccer.

Barajas was the chief point producer alongside teammate Spencer Palmer for the conference’s highest-scoring offense that averaged more than 2.5 goals per game. The left-footed free kick specialist scored seven goals with 14 shots on frame and assisted three more.

Karp marshaled Oxy’s joint-top defense that surrendered fewer than a goal per game. The center back played a key role in four shutouts in the 10 conference games he played.

Pomona-Pitzer Colleges’ Keyon Namdar earned Newcomer of the Year recognition after ranking among the league leaders with six goals and two assists for 14 points, including scoring in five of the last six games of the season.

Caltech’s Derek Ing merited the Award of Distinction, recognizing a senior for exemplary achievements through their higher education experience - specifically for making significant contributions representing their school and serving their communities. A two-year captain who stepped into the starting role his first day on campus as a freshman, Ing is an Academic All-District selection who has served as a data science consultant assisting Caltech astronomy professors with their research. He also spent 12 weeks this past summer as an intern at Amazon. With three first-year goalkeepers joining the team this season, Ing took on an even greater leadership and mentorship role in his final year to prepare them to be the future of the program.

The Tigers’ Rod Lafaurie was named the Coaching Staff of the Year winner after leading Oxy to its first-ever SCIAC regular season title. Oxy opened conference play with four straight wins and capped their schedule with another three entering the SCIAC Tournament, where the Tigers will enjoy home field advantage as the top seed.

Oxy led all teams with eight total honorees, including Karp, Andrew Notter and Joey Schwartz on the First Team. Redlands ranked second with six players recognized as Seth Lawrence and Spencer Palmer joined Barajas on the First Team. Third was CMS with two First Team selections - Shaan Malik and Rafael Otero - and one on Second Team. Schwartz and Karp made their third All-Conference appearance for the Tigers, with both repeating on the First Team and making the Second Team in 2021. Last year’s Defensive Athlete of the Year, California Lutheran University’s Tyler Sherard, was one of three others to make a second consecutive appearance on the First Team along with Chapman University’s Jackson Busby and Caltech’s Ishaan Mantripragada. Four others - Etienne Casanova (Caltech), Lawrence Dydell (Whittier), Otero and Niclas Ulrich (Pomona-Pitzer) each made their debut on the First Team after previously earning Second Team distinction in either of the last two years. Redlands’ Skylar Darwen repeated on the Second Team while Oxy’s Lucas Howlett and Cal Lutheran’s JP Melgoza also earned their second All-Conference honor running.

2023 SCIAC Tournament Champions: Pomona-Pitzer

Ella Endo of Pomona-Pitzer Colleges and Avery West from California Lutheran University have been named the SCIAC Offensive and Defensive Athletes of the Year to lead the 2023 All-Conference teams for women’s soccer.

Endo ranked among the top 10 in the conference in points per game but made her impact most as the primary creator for the conference’s highest-scoring offense. Her work rate in the midfield was crucial in ensuring the unbeaten Sagehens retained possession and limited the quality of their opponents’ shots to also lead the conference in fewest goals allowed.

West led a California Lutheran back line that allowed the fewest shots on goal in conference play (just 29 in 12 games) to lift the undefeated Regals to the top seed in the SCIAC Tournament. The right back also scored two goals and assisted on three more to account for a share in more than 20 percent of her team’s goals in conference play.

Whittier College unleashed one of the most dynamic attacking duos in the conference with the Newcomer of the Year Madeline Traylor joining her older sister, Layla. The rookie led the entire conference in points per game with a lead-tying eight goals. She tied for second with three game-winners, including a spectacular four-goal showing on Sept. 30.

The Award of Distinction, presented to a senior for exemplary achievements through their higher education experience, went to Ashley Wielenga of Chapman University. The award specifically recognizes students who have made significant contributions representing their school and serving their communities. A two-year team captain, National Collegiate Scholar and member of the National Society of Leadership and Success, Wielenga is also heavily involved in a variety of activities on campus. She is on the Crean College leadership council, serves as the Alpha Phi director of community engagement and new member experience and is a note taker and tutor. She also is a life group leader for seventh grade girls at Saddleback Church, a veterinary assistant at Banfield Pet Hospital and is head coach of the Orange Lutheran frosh/soph girls’ soccer team.

Pomona-Pitzer’s Jen Scanlon was awarded her fourth career Coaching Staff of the Year honor after leading the Sagehens to a share of a fifth straight regular season title. Her squad led the conference in both goals scored and fewest allowed while earning a No. 18 US Soccer Coaches national ranking entering the SCIAC Tournament.

California Lutheran led all teams with six players recognized, including a league-high tying four on First Team, with Ally Fisicaro, Eden Quiroz and 2022 Offensive Athlete of the Year Isabella Veljacic joining West. Pomona-Pitzer also boasted four First Team picks among five total honorees as Patricia DePalma, Spencer Deutz and Eliana Prosnitz were recognized alongside Endo. Claremont-MuddScripps Colleges matched the Sagehens with five total selections, including three on First Team - Kaitlyn Helfrich, Tori Holden and Annie McKinley. Helfrich and Veljacic made their third consecutive First Team cuts while Chapman’s Jenna Urrabazo repeated on First Team after her standout rookie season and Endo returned to the First Team, this time with top billing, after making the grade in 2021. Another Panther, Emma Harper, and West each made the step up from Second Team last season, while the elder Traylor earned her third career All-Conference distinction with a Second Team nod. Occidental College’s Mia Steadman was one of three first-years to earn recognition on the First Team along with DePalm and Madeline Traylor.

2023 SCIAC Tournament Champions: Claremont-Mudd-Scripps

SCIAC kills leader Mya Ray from the University of La Verne and 2022 Defensive Athlete of the Year Dede Carranza of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges headlined the 2023 Women’s Volleyball All-Conference teams as Offensive and Defensive Athletes of the Year.

Ray built on her Newcomer of the Year campaign last season, again leading the conference in kills per set as she upped her average in conference play from 4.05 as a rookie to 4.87 and a total of 263 this year on a .260 hitting percentage. She also recorded 3.09 digs and 0.52 blocks per set in leading the Leopards to a No. 21 national ranking and the #2 seed in the SCIAC Tournament.

Carranza repeated as Defensive Athlete of the Year as the Athenas spent another entire season ranked among the Top 10 in the AVCA poll and won at least a share of an eighth consecutive SCIAC regular season title. She ranked second in the conference with 5.21 digs per set and third at 0.51 service aces per set while limiting her reception errors to an astounding 0.09 per set.

Whittier College middle blocker Mia D’Amato was recognized as the Newcomer the Year after ranking fifth in the conference in both hitting percentage (.270) and blocks (1.05 per set). The Poets qualified for the SCIAC Tournament for the first time since 2015 and entered the NCAA regional rankings for the first time since 2018 thanks to a six-match win streak before the final contest of the regular season, including a victory over

No. 4 CMS for the first time in 28 years.

The Character Award also went to a Poet as Analise Kusleika was recognized for her significant contributions representing her school and serving in her communities. Team captain and Co-President of the Poet Student-Athletes Leadership Academy, she also sits in the college Senate as the athletics department representative. She has advocated fiercely for Whittier Athletics and currently also serves as an intern with the athletic department, focusing on events and building better relationships between the general student population and faculty.

Leopards Head Coach Jeff Hendershot and his assistants were named the Coaching Staff of the Year winners after returning to the national rankings for the first time since 2018 behind a 14-0 start to the season. La Verne ranked a clear second behind only CMS in nearly every team statistical category, including points per set (18.02), kills (14.13), hitting percentage (.226) and opponent kills (10.46) in locking up the #2 seed.

CMS led the five teams to have a player recognized with four on the First Team and five total, with La Verne and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges close behind with three First and one Second Team selection each. Whittier’s Xenia Villagomez and Nadine Oronoz joined D’Amato on the Second Team while Kira Mortensen and Sadie Peate made the cut for fifth-place California Lutheran University. Carranza and Ray both repeated as First Team selections from last season, while the CMS trio of 2022 Athlete of the Year Jenna Holmes, Georgia McGovern and Audrey Sawyer earned their third All-Conference honors, with Holmes and Bell becoming three-time First Team honorees. Pomona-Pitzer’s Paige Mountanos moved up after earning Second Team recognition last fall while La Verne’s Ayana Mier was named Second Team for the third year running and Brenna Bell featured in the All-Conference picture for a second consecutive season.

2023 SCIAC Offensive Athlete of the Year

Dede Carranza (CMS)

The University of Redlands landed both Offensive and Defensive Athletes of the Year as Andrew Higginson and Roberto Barrera led the 2023 SCIAC Men’s Water Polo All-Conference teams.

Higginson led the Bulldogs with 32 goals scored in conference play as Redlands tied for the regular season title behind the league’s top offense. With his versatile skillset , he frequently was tasked with locking down the opponent’s best player or guarding the 2-meter while contributing fluidly on offense as the center or on the perimeter.

Barrera was the last line of defense for the conference’s stingiest unit that allowed a meager 7.5 goals per game. He registered a phenomenal .596 save percentage on 81 stops with a 6.7 goalsagainst average while between the posts. He added 12 steals and four assists in just eight games as he missed three late in the season while competing for the Mexico National Team at the PanAmerican Games.

CMS lefty attacker Nick Kennedy earned Newcomer of the Year recognition after leading the coregular season champion Stags in goals, assists and points during conference play. His contributions were key to the Stags ranking second in goal difference by just four and earning the top seed in the SCIAC Tournament.

The Character Award was presented to Chapman University’s Jacob Bullock in acknowledgment of his success in the pool, classroom and with involvement in community and school service. A two-time team captain, Bullock has involved his team in a variety of community initiatives including cleaning up in local Hart Park and wrapping blankets in ribbon to gift children at CHOC Hospital. Conscientious of his and the team’s impact on people and in spaces they occupy, he is routinely the last one on the bus ensuring the locker room and pool deck are left clean or deep in conversation with someone who helped support the facility hosting their game.

Greg Lonzo was recognized with his third Coaching Staff of the Year award after leading CMS from third place last season to a tie for the regular season title in 2023.The Stags dropped a single game over conference play in overtime to Redlands on the last day of the regular season with the second-highest goal difference in the league - just four out of first and 21 more than the third-ranked squad.

He ranked fourth in the conference with 17.9 points per game and fifth in field goal percentage at .519 including a second-best .453 three-point percentage. He also dished out 3.8 assists per game to tie for fourth, with his assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.6 ranking eighth and 1.6 steals per game tied for fifth.

Burrage keyed the conference’s top defense that allowed just 63.9 points per game and was second in the conference with an 11.8-point margin of victory. He locked down two of the top four scorers in the conference in three games, limiting them to just 10-36 from the field while compiling 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game and shooting .487 from the floor.

Newcomer of the Year went to Jasper Hedin of Pomona-Pitzer Colleges. The rookie was a reliable presence for the Sagehens with 11.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.7 blocks per game to go with 24 made three-pointers in 11 starts over the 16-game conference slate.

Brown ranked second in the conference in scoring with 22.2 points per game with a SCIACleading 139 field goals at a clip of 45.7 percent which was good for fifth in the conference. She nearly averaged a double-double with 9.9 rebounds which also ranked sixth and was second in blocked shots at 1.1 per game. The Leopards also were the second-stingiest defense in the conference at just 62.3 points allowed per game.

Leach was a key component of the conference’s stingiest defense by more than six points as Whittier College jumped out to an 8-2 start to the conference slate. She ranked among the top 10 in all five major statistical categories, averaging 2.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in addition to 8.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and was third in the conference for field goal percentage (.463) and fourth with 18.0 points per game.

2024 SCIAC Tournament Champions: Pomona-Pitzer

Pomona-Pitzer Colleges duo Isaac Kim and Jake Hilton headlined the 2024 SCIAC Baseball All-Conference teams as the Athlete and Pitcher of the Year.

Kim led the conference with 60 total bases and 36 RBI in the heart of a potent Sagehens lineup that featured three hitters with an OPS over 1.100. The first baseman accumulated a league-leading 42 hits to drive PomonaPitzer’s five-game improvement on 2023’s .500 record that left the Sagehens a single game shy of the regular season title.

Hilton built on a breakout sophomore campaign last year that had already seen him billed among the conference’s elite strikeout pitchers. The league leader in ERA (1.51), he surrendered just a .199 batting average against while striking out 47 hitters over 47.2 innings with an unblemished 5-0 record as he turned in quality starts in every appearance this season.

University of La Verne rookie Niko Urquidi was named the Newcomer of the Year, combining with 2023 Pitcher of the Year Gerald Terry to form one of the most fearsome pitching duos in the nation for the 14th-ranked team in Division III. He struck out 50 batters, including a league-best 23 looking, across 45 innings to suggest his already-impressive 3.60 ERA could deserve to be even lower.

Another Leopard, Anthony Salcedo, was presented with the Character Award in recognition of his exemplary success on the field, in the classroom and with involvement in community and school service. Salcedo’s gregarious personality, humility and positive energy endear him to everyone in any setting and have allowed him to serve as a role model for the La Verne program.

Coaching Staff of the Year recognition went to Scott Winterburn and the La Verne dugout in acknowledgement of the Leopards’ back-to-back SCIAC regular season titles. The contact-oriented approach “Burn” preaches led to the league’s top-ranked offense with 9.2 runs scored per game with a .325 team batting average and nearly more walks (124) than strikeouts (125) while the pitching staff also led the league with a meager .229 batting average against.

Pomona-Pitzer led all teams with six total selections, including four on the First Team, followed by CMS and La Verne with five apiece. California Lutheran University and Whittier College landed two First Team choices and one Second Teamer each, while Chapman University also totaled three selections. Terry, Pomona-Pitzer’s JC Ng and Chapman’s AJ Anzai became the lone three-time honorees, with Terry a First Team choice in each while Ng returned to the First Team after placing on the Second Team in 2023. Last year’s Newcomer of the Year, Whittier’s Lew Rice, repeated on the top team along with La Verne catcher Nathan Perry and 2023 Athlete of the Year Julian Sanders of CMS. Hilton and Whittier’s Teige Barrett made the step up from the Second Team. Eric Prough repeated on the Second Team for the Sagehens.

2024 SCIAC Champions: Redlands

The University of Redlands Bulldogs are 2024 SCIAC Men’s Golf champions for the first time since 2015 after Aaron Buck turned in a silver-medal winning performance across the three-round SCIAC Championship at Los Serranos Golf Club in Chino Hills.

The Bulldogs survived the only below-par rounds of the tournament from runner-up Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges (-1) and third place Pomona-Pitzer Colleges (-3) on the final day thanks to an eight-stroke margin they had built up over the first two rounds. Buck played even-par after carding a one-under 71 opening round and one of only two 68’s of the tournament on day two to hold onto second place with a total score of 211, just one shot off the top medalist Michael Ma of CMS. Pomona-Pitzer’s Tucker Lee turned in the lowest round of day three with the other 68 for third place, while teammate Daniel Lyne also snuck under 70 to rocket up to 11th overall as the Sagehens recorded the lowest fourgolfer score of the event at 285 on the final day.

Staked to an eight-shot lead after the first two rounds, Redlands held its position over the front nine before CMS and Pomona-Pitzer each staged furious rallies that ultimately fell short. Three Stags scorers went below-par on the back 9 for a team total of -2 coming in, while Lee and Lyne combined for a blistering -7 over the same stretch that included Lee chipping in for birdie and closing with an eagle, but the Bulldogs’ lead proved to be safe as Buck, Spencer Leader and Jake Yim all birdied the final hole to seal the victory. Zane Mularski was the champions’ fourth scorer on the final day while Jonas De Leon was a key scorer in the first and second rounds.

The University of La Verne finished fourth, just one stroke behind Pomona-Pitzer on Lee’s eagle while California Lutheran University placed fifth, Occidental College sixth and Chapman University seventh. Patrick Lagura placed fourth individually with one of four rounds below-par at -3, with Adrian Chiu (CMS) rounding out the top five at Even, three strokes clear of sixth.

Redlands has earned the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Championship while Ma and No. 11 CMS, No. 16 Pomona-Pitzer and other individual top finishers await potential at-large bids, which will be released on the NCAA.com website on Monday, May 6.

Vo concluded her senior year with a conference season-low tying round of 68 to place second in the SCIAC Championship. One of just two players to shoot a pair of scores below 70 over seven conference rounds, she averaged just one stroke over par on the season while leading the Sagehens to second place at the SCIAC Championship by just five strokes.

Newcomer of the Year recognition went to Anna Poulin of California Lutheran University. The Regal played some of her best golf on the season at the SCIAC Championship, ranking among the top 15 in scoring on Par 5’s, top 12 on Par 4’s and tying for third on Par 3’s.

Andrea York of the University of Redlands was presented with the Sportsmanship Trophy at the SCIAC Championship.

CMS maintained a five-shot lead heading into the final day of the SCIAC Championship to claim the Athenas’ first title in five years.

Pomona-Pitzer led all teams with five total selections, followed by CMS with four and Redlands with three.

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges attack Grace Minturn and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges defender Carly Sullivan highlight the 2024 SCIAC Women’s Lacrosse All-Conference teams as the Offensive and Defensive Athletes of the Year.

The conference’s total goals scored leader with 34, Minturn led a CMS offense that also topped the SCIAC with an average of more than 20 goals per game. She ranked third in both goals and assists per game for an average of 4.25 points per game.

Sullivan led the conference’s best defense, which allowed just 4.2 goals per game for a SCIAC-best goal difference of 187. The Sagehens paced the league in caused turnovers with a whopping 14.8 per contest and ground balls at 27.8 while posting a clear success rate of 87 percent and receiving just 16 green cards and eight yellow cards.

CMS rookie Julia Ryan was dubbed Newcomer of the Year after more than doubling the next highest-ranked individual’s draw control total with 132 on the season. She also dished out 1.25 assists per game.

Occidental College’s Bella Kwan earned the Character Award. The Tigers midfielder generally keeps a low profile on the statistics sheet while maximizing her impact on the team through heart and hustle work. Frequently rising to the occasion and making big plays when most necessary, she is highly respected by the team for her consistent effort and leadership over a four-year career.

Laura McIntyre and the California Lutheran University sideline were named the Coaching Staff of the Year after winning not only the first game since the program was started in 2020, but a total of four this season including a pair of conference matchups.

2024 SCIAC Tournament Champions: Redlands

University of Redlands two-way star Katlyn Gandara and California Lutheran University ace Ashlyn Flinchum were named the Athlete and Pitcher of the Year atop the 2024 SCIAC Softball All-Conference teams.

Gandara fueled what was the conference’s top offense by a wide margin with an average of 6.5 runs per game to earn a share of the regular season title and the top seed in the SCIAC Tournament. Last year’s rookie sensation as the 2023 SCIAC Pitcher of the Year led the league in batting average (.475) and RBI (25) as well as accumulating nine wins on the mound.

Flinchum made her SCIAC debut with authority in lifting the Regals to their first full-season tournament appearance since 2015. She led the conference with a .209 batting average against and 75 strikeouts - nearly twice as many as anyone else - over 10 complete games in 12 starts.

Newcomer of the Year recognition was bestowed upon Gisella Lai, who took over centerfield duties early in the season and proceeded to bat .400/.475/.600 and tied for the league lead with four triples. She also recorded a pair of outfield assists and was successful on all three stolen base attempts.

Whittier College’s Sara Chiala was presented the Character Award in recognition of her exemplary success on the field, in the classroom and with involvement in the community and school service. A two-time Whittier “Purple Heart” and one-time “Iron Woman Award” winner, Chiala has been the heart and soul not only to Poet Softball but the entire school, where she serves in the Center for Advising for all students on probation still working to obtain their degree. She also works at the Orthopedic Sports Therapy Center and volunteers at San Jose Sting Organization every year as a Coach and mentor for their 14U girls team.

Debby Day and the Regals dugout garnered Coaching Staff of the Year honors after steering Cal Lutheran to its first full-season conference tournament appearance since 2015. The Regals integrated newcomers Flinchum and SCIAC home run leader Jessica Waters to improve by four wins on last year’s seventh-place finish.

CMS and Chapman led all teams with five total selections, with the Athenas landing four players on the First Team. Five others had three selections, with every team represented by at least two players. Pomona-Pitzer Colleges’ Devin Waddell, the 2023 Athlete of the Year and 2022 Newcomer of the Year, and Whittier’s Emily Adkison became three-time First Team selections, with Waddell also cracking the Second Team as a pitcher. Gandara was one of five players to repeat on the First Team, along with Rose Malen and Miranda Murphy (Chapman), 2023 Newcomer of the Year Kylie Liu (Pomona-Pitzer) and Emma Suh (CMS). Athena Rachel Sapirstein and Bulldog Natalie Horton bumped up from the Second Team, where Chapman’s Iliana Serna earned her third All-Conference honor. 2022 Pitcher of the Year Jillian Kelly (Chapman) and three others - Destiny Garcia (CMS), Taylor Gray (University of La Verne) and Alysha Wagner (Occidental) - made the All-Conference cut for a second consecutive season.

Advik Mareedu repeated as SCIAC Athlete of the Year as the top singles player for No. 1 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges to headline the 2024 Men’s Tennis All-Conference teams.

The 2023 ITA National Rookie of the Year, Mareedu went a perfect 7-0 in SCIAC play at the top singles court. He led CMS to an 18th straight unbeaten season in the conference and the top seed in the SCIAC Tournament.

University of Redlands rookie Nico Calixto earned Newcomer of the Year recognition after a 6-1 conference record at #1 singles, with his only defeat coming in a three-setter on the road to Mareedu. He also posted a 6-1 record across all three doubles courts, highlighted by a tiebreaker win over the region’s second-ranked doubles tandem from Caltech in the regular season finale.

The Character Award was presented to Matthew Feng of Pomona-Pitzer Colleges. Feng is a near-4.0 pre-med senior who has garnered Academic All-SCIAC, ITA Scholar-Athlete and All-America accolades during his career with the Sagehens. He created, marketed and directed an Aces for Autism program to teach tennis to children with autism on the Pomona campus.

Paul Settles and the regular season champion Stags were named Coaching Staff of the Year. CMS dropped just nine points in SCIAC match play with only one as close as 6-3.

CMS led all teams with three First Team and four total selections while Caltech, Occidental College and Redlands each landed three choices. Chapman University’s Caleb Wilkins wrapped up a sensational four-year First Team All-Conference run, with CMS’ Matthew Robinson a three-time First Team selection in as many chances due to the uncontested 2021 Covid-19 pandemic season and another Stag, Ian Freer, making the step up from Second Team. Caltech’s Kyle McCandless repeated on the First Team after also earning Second Team recognition in 2022 while teammate and doubles partner Daniel Wen was the Second Team’s only repeat choice.

2024 SCIAC Athlete of the Year

Angie Zhou of Pomona-Pitzer Colleges repeated as SCIAC Athlete of the Year atop the 2024 Women’s Tennis All-Conference teams.

The 2023 NCAA national singles champion, Zhou went 6-0 over conference play at the top singles court and 7-0 with three different doubles partners between courts #1-2. With her consistency atop the lineup, the Sagehens have risen to the No. 2 ranking in the nation.

Newcomer of the Year honors went to Maegan Deng from the University of Redlands. Locking down the Bulldogs’ top singles and doubles courts as a rookie, she suffered only two singles losses to Zhou and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges’ Audrey Yoon in close matches with one defeat in doubles, again to CMS’ top duo.

Sena Selby was recognized with the Character Award. The Athenas captain and SAAC President has compiled a 3.75 GPA as a philosophy and public affairs major in addition to participating in several panels and opportunities to connect with high school students including Girls Got Game. She also serves as secretary of the Women in Sports Empowerment club on campus and a sportswriter for TSL.

Interim Head Coach Jake De Vries and Redlands were honored as Coaching Staff of the Year. The Bulldogs earned the #3 seed in the SCIAC Tournament by a wide margin with a pair of first-years atop their lineup and only three points dropped in five matches against non-Claremont Consortium teams.

Regular season champion CMS led all teams with five total selections, including three on the First Team, followed by PomonaPitzer’s four and three for Redlands. Yoon, Zhou and California Lutheran University’s Carmen Bufkin became three-time First Team selections while Alisha Chulani was a repeat selection from last year and Pomona-Pitzer’s Lauren Rha jumped up from the Second Team in 2023. Nika Batoshvili (CMS) and Livi Rockwood (UR) became three-time All-SCIAC choices while Selby, Chapman University’s Alexis Golin and Pomona-Pitzer’s Marissa Markey returned to the Second Team after receiving nods in 2022.

2024 SCIAC Champions: Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Tyler Thomas (La Verne)

The University of La Verne’s Tyler Thomas and Chapman University’s Isaac Robin were named the Track & Field Athletes of the Year for their performances at the 2024 SCIAC Men’s Track & Field Championship.

Thomas, the 2023 Newcomer of the Year, elevated his already impressive debut to win both the 100- and 200-meter dash conferences titles as just a sophomore. His 200m time of 20.94 is the 16th-fastest wind legal time ever recorded in Division III and ranks fourth in the nation this spring while his 100m time of 10.54 is tied for 15th. He also ran the anchor legs on both the conference champion 4x400 Relay, which won by more than 2.5 seconds, and third-place 4x100 Relay.

Robin won the triple jump and was runner-up in the long jump at the SCIAC Championship as a rookie. His triple jump mark of 14.25 meters tied for 24th in the nation and sixth among freshmen while he ended less than an inch shy of the long jump title, netting 18 points for the Panthers.

Occidental College’s Shane Kawakami-Williams was named Newcomer of the Year after making the podium in all four events he contested at the SCIAC Championship. He finished second only to Tyler’ brilliant race in the 200m and was third in the 100m while contributing on both runner-up 4x100 and 4x400 Relays.

Joey Litvin from Caltech was presented with the Dixon Farmer Award, which is presented to a senior student-athlete who best exemplifies the conference’s high ideals including ability, leadership, determination, sportsmanship and sincerity of academic pursuit. A two-year team captain and bronze medalist with three program records in 2023, Litvin sets high standards for himself and others through both his words and actions as a vocal leader who regularly motivates his teammates to be their best. He has compiled a 3.5 cumulative GPA as a mathematics option at Caltech, where he has won the Best Use of Data Award at the Caltech Hackathon and twice placed in the top 500 of the Putnam Competition, a prominent math competition for undergraduate students.

Coaching Staff of the Year recognition went to Glenn Stewart and the Stags after winning a third straight conference title. CMS accumulated 200 points to win by 48 with individual champions in six events.

Bachmeier placed in five and scored in six of the eye-popping seven events she contested at the SCIAC Championship, including individual victories in the 100- and 400-meter hurdles, runner-up finishes in the long jump and 4x100 Relay and a bronze medal in the 4x400 Relay. Her times in the hurdle races rank eighth and 15th in Division III, while her heptathlon score of 4,521 ranks 12th. She also placed sixth in the triple jump and 11th in the high jump.

Teammate Adams won both the triple and long jumps, ranking 20th and 26th in DIII, while contributing on the runner-up 4x100 Relay. She also placed sixth in the 100m dash. Newcomer of the Year recognition was bestowed on Fiona Bodkin of Pomona-Pitzer Colleges. The rookie finished third in the 5k and fourth in the 3k steeplechase.

The Jenifer Stary Award was presented to another Sagehen in Michaela Jones. A 4.0 GPA double major in American Studies and Environmental Analysis at Pitzer, has utilized her remarkable athletic ability throughout the entire season. Her 800m time ranks third in program history and her 4x400 relay has won two straight SCIAC titles, while she has also been a top-5 scorer on the cross country team. A Student Fellow at the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability, Michaela was a finalist for Pitzer’s Watson Fellowship, plus she applied for a Fulbright Scholarship through Pitzer. Following graduation, Michaela will move back to Charlottesville, and plans to work in the environmental field before pursuing a PhD in Environmental Science or Geography.

Mike Schmidt and the Redlands Bulldogs were named Coaching Staff of the Year after leading the Maroon and Gray to their first full-season conference title more than a decade. The Bulldogs edged Chapman University by just three points and seven-time defending champion Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges by eight, with six individual event champions including a clutch late sweep of the discus podium to vault into the lead before the final event.
