Memory Makers
Senior water polo player Stephanie Schnugg is part of a large extended family that has happily called the University of California and Spieker Aquatics Complex home for over 40 years. Those four-plus decades of “Golden Bear Schnuggs” contain a list of achievements, both in and out of the pool, as expansive as their family tree.
Three members of the Cal women’s golf team – sophomores Joanne Lee and Daniela Holmqvist and senior Roseanne Niven – have had the rare opportunity to test their skills against some of the world’s premier players in major tournaments ranging from the U.S. Open to the British Women’s Open. The experiences provided them with a host of stories and cherished memories.

LETTER

Director

Athletics Sandy Barbour
Dear Friend of Cal Athletics:
S
ometimes a simple “thank you” conveys as much meaning as a thousand words.
Especially in these challenging times, I truly want to thank each and every one of you who have supported Cal Athletics throughout the years. You have been there through thick and thin to make dreams come true for the thousands of student-athletes who have devoted so much of their own time, energy, blood, sweat and tears to make Cal Athletics what it is today and build the foundation for what it will become. With that in mind, I want to applaud our supporters for all you’ve done and take a couple of minutes to celebrate some of what we’ve all accomplished working together. For many years, our facilities have lagged behind the pace set by the accomplishments of our student-athletes. But thanks in large part to your support, that is changing, and the result of the building underway in Strawberry Canyon will soon put them on par with the excellence our student-athletes, coaches and staff members have exhibited for years. Check out the busy crews currently constructing the Student-Athlete High Performance Center. With each passing day, the 142,000 square-foot project that will support more than 400 student-athletes on a daily basis is closer to a reality. And in June, the retrofit and renovation of Memorial Stadium will begin in earnest. This fall represents the final season for Cal football in the current stadium conditions. Although we will play elsewhere in the Bay Area in 2011, when the action returns to campus in the fall of 2012, it will be to a modernized stadium that will still respect the architecture and historic character of the Memorial Stadium we have all come to love. Your contributions have also helped our student-athletes continue with their tremendous success on their respective playing fields and in the classroom. Earlier this spring, our men’s and women’s swimming & diving teams combined for eight individual NCAA titles, giving us at least one national championship for 37 consecutive years! Our overall graduation success rates are also at all-time highs and continue to rise year after year with our commitment to academic achievement. Our accomplishments have been tremendous, but we know our work is far from over and many more challenges lie ahead. As we work to shape the future of our department, we will count on your support more than ever to help us continue to make Cal Athletics the best experience possible for all Golden Bears. At the start of these new endeavors, I thought now was the perfect time to just catch our breath for a minute, regroup, smile and say thanks. Quite literally, we cannot do it without you. Thank you! Now, let’s get back to work. There’s so much more to be done!

SIDELINE REPORT Football Schedule Updated for 2010 Season
C
al fans should take note that four game dates have changed on the Golden Bears’ 2010 football schedule from the slate that was announced earlier this year and appeared in the winter issue of the Cal Sports Quarterly. Most significantly, the 113th Big Game will now be played on Saturday, Nov. 20 at Memorial Stadium, one week earlier than previously stated. The change was necessitated due to a conflict with Stanford’s final exam schedule. As a result, two other Pac-10 road games needed to move from their original dates. The Bears will visit Arizona on Sept. 25 and travel to Washington State on Nov. 6. In addition, Cal’s first road contest of the year at Nevada has been moved up one day to Friday, Sept. 17 to accommodate an ESPN2 telecast. The game will kick off from Reno at 7 p.m. The new alignment allows for a bye the first week of October. The Bears will also conclude the season with consecutive home games against Oregon, Stanford and Washington.

ehind 21 points from freshman DeNesha Stallworth and 17 points by senior Alexis Gray-Lawson, the Cal women’s basketball team overwhelmed Miami, 73-61, before more than 2,500 fans in Haas Pavilion April 3 to secure the Women’s National Invitation Tournament crown. “I am incredibly excited for this group,” head coach Joanne Boyle said. “They took the bull by the horns in postseason and said ‘We’re going to make the most of it.’ We decided to refocus and show people we can handle postseason play. I thought they did an unbelievable job just finalizing it all.” Following the victory, every member of
the Cal program – from Boyle to the team managers – took turns cutting down the net, surrounded by a court full of well-wishers. The triumph sent seniors Gray-Lawson, Natasha Vital and Lauren Greif out winners in the last game on their home floor. The Bears, who won six games in the WNIT, compiled a 24-13 overall record. After a 6-8 start, they finished 18-5 with the rookie class maturing greatly along the way. In addition to Stallworth, freshman guard Eliza Pierre added eight points, five rebounds and six assists against the Hurricanes, and the freshman frontcourt tandem of Talia Caldwell and Gennifer Brandon combined for 18 points and 19 boards.

The world is just a little different now 50 years later, but the Golden Bears can once again be called league champions.

Despite having graduated almost nine years ago, Fujita, a former walk-on for the Bears, continues to follow his alma mater closely and even made a trip back to Haas Pavilion for the men’s basketball team’s Pac-10 title clinching win over Arizona State in March. 6

Fight of a Lifetime Jill Costello
Community Comes Together to Support Jill Costello’s Battle with Cancer

rising senior majoring in political economies of industrial societies, and vice president of membership for the Panhellenic Council. Jill Costello’s life was in fast-forward last year with a schedule packed full of activities when a new challenge emerged. That new challenge: lung cancer. After helping the Golden Bears to a second-place finish at the 2009 NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships in Cherry Hill, N.J., Costello returned home to Berkeley wondering why a stomachache had not gone away after two weeks. A blood test revealed an exceptionally high white blood cell count, and her doctor urged her to go to the emergency room immediately. The San Francisco native headed across the Bay Bridge to the California Pacific Medical Center where doctors performed a series of ultrasounds, CT scans and x-rays.

Now, I’ve learned to stay calm and meditate through everything.” In addition to learning more about herself throughout this journey, Costello realized the size and dedication of her support network from the moment she received her diagnosis. “I am so lucky to have all these people around me who are willing to do anything and everything they can to help,” said Costello. “When I was in the hospital, the hallways were crowded, and staff tried to have us tell all the guests to leave. Everyone just wanted to be there and be supportive.” Throughout the summer, family and friends, including Cal teammates and coaches, visited Costello to show their love and encouragement.

only be the beginning of Costello and Team Jill’s work with the foundation. Costello began working closely with the Addario Foundation after the charity walk to educate people about lung cancer. “It’s a big focus of the foundation to change the face of lung cancer,”
“Without a doubt, the strength and attitude that Jill has shown has had a really big impact on our team,” said head coach O’Neill. “Seeing how she dealt with the news and, more importantly, the way she’s battled all these months has been a tremendous source of inspiration for everyone. We are all working hard to make this a happy ending.” As she continues to fight cancer, Costello is committed to “living as normally as possible.” Being a multitasker is ingrained in a coxswain’s job description as well as in Costello’s character.

An avid traveler, Costello ostello hopes to spread cancer awareness on behalf of the foundation. In collaboration with the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute, the foundation is working with seven universities in the United States and another in Barcelona to develop a tissue depository. This would allow researchers to study samples in order to develop personalized treatments based on different genetic mutations and tumors. In addition to working with the foundation, Costello is also interested in attending business or law school in the future. Among Costello’s goals for this year: full enjoyment of her last semester in Berkeley, winning an NCAA championship and, most importantly, being put in remission. Lung cancer cannot hold Costello back. It only inspires her. “Cancer is here for a brief stay, but life goes on,” she said. “What I’ve learned is that roadblocks don’t mean you’ve hit the end of the road. It is that you need to find a new way around.” Donations to the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation may be sent to 601 4th Street, Suite 215, San Francisco, CA 94107.

she said. “People don’t know that it’s not just a smoker’s disease. Sixty percent of people diagnosed now are non-smokers or quit decades ago.” The stigma associated with lung cancer is the reason it receives little public attention and funding, according to Costello. The success of the charity walk in August inspired an event in Costello’s honor that brought the Cal community together. Jog for Jill, held this past Feb. 7, drew nearly 1,000 participants and raised more than $45,000. “I couldn’t believe how much people gave,” Costello said. “It brought a lot of awareness to cancer.” Sorority sister Darby Anderson worked with the foundation to create the personalized run. Jog for Jill was one of 13 runs on the foundation’s 2010 schedule, which includes two in China at the end of the year. Numerous Cal sports teams, sororities and fraternities participated in the 5K run through campus. Members of both the Stanford women’s crew and Santa Clara Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter also traveled to Berkeley in support of Costello. One of Costello’s professors pledged $40 for each point that the Cal men’s basketball team scored during its home game against Washington. After high-scoring contest that ended with 93 points for the Golden Bears, her professor wrote a check for $3,720. Cal women’s crew members, running as the “Cal Crew Cancer Killers,” continued to show Costello how much she has inspired them during her battle with cancer.

enior water polo player Stephanie Schnugg is part of a large extended family that has happily called the University of California and Spieker Aquatics Complex home for over 40 years. Those four-plus decades of “Golden Bear Schnuggs” contain a list of achievements, both in and out of the pool, as expansive as their family tree. Stephanie is the latest member of the Schnugg clan whose accomplishments at Cal would make any family proud. She is a key contributor on the Bears’ women’s water Stephanie Schnugg polo team that is vying for the program’s first national championship tournament bid since 2000. She is a two-time All-Academic honoree and a prospective member of the U.S. National Team. Beyond the pool and classroom, Schnugg is combining her art practice major with her long-time interest in health care in an internship at Oakland Creative Growth Art Center. 14

These types of accomplishments have been a trademark of the Schnugg family ever since her father, Peter, followed his brother, Steve, to Cal in 1969 and helped establish the Bears as a collegiate water polo power. Yet Stephanie chose to attend school in Berkeley by her own accord. “My family history did influence me a little bit in coming to Cal, but at first I wanted to get away and was looking at attending school in southern California,” explained Schnugg, who grew up in nearby Alamo and attended Monte Vista High School. “I went to USC, UCLA and Cal on my recruiting trips. I knew USC and UCLA were successful (in women’s water polo) and I was told that I would not play much as a freshman. Cal was an up-and-coming

program, so it was a matter of do I want to practice with, or immediately compete against, good players? I decided I wanted to play as a freshman, and after coming on my recruiting trip, I knew it (Cal) was the right fit - not just for athletics, but for the academics as well. Being the top public university in the nation was huge. “My dad was very neutral. I had to decide on my own, but he was very excited when I signed with Cal.” To get a sense of the depth of Stephanie’s family’s legacy at Cal, it is necessary to take a step back in time to when Spieker Aquatics Complex was called Harmon Pool and before Cal Aquatics held the national prestige it enjoys today. The first Schnugg student-athlete to attend Cal was uncle Steve Schnugg, who was a member of the Bears’ tennis team from 1967-71. Two years later, dad Peter came to Cal on a swimming scholarship to compete for his former water polo club coach in Concord, the legendary Pete Cutino, who at
the time coached both swimming and water polo for the Bears. By the time Peter Schnugg was a senior in 1973, he had led Cal to 25-1 record and helped propel Cutino and the Bears to their first NCAA championship in men’s water polo and the beginning of Cal’s dominance in the sport. Peter became Cal’s first NCAA Water Polo Player of the Year in 1973 after also earning All-America honors in swimming. He went on to be a member of the USA Men’s Olympic Water Polo team in 1980. Peter Schnugg’s success seemed to spur on more Schnugg-related water polo standouts. Cousin Mike Loughlin starred from 1974-77, where he was a member of three national championship teams and was a four-time All-American. Peter’s younger brother, John Schnugg, played for Cutino and the Bears from 1978-81. Cal water polo players have also married into the Schnugg family. Carlos Steffens, a three-time All-American who led the Bears to the 1977 NCAA title and was the

“It doesn’t surprise me the number of college athletes we had come from our family, or that our sisters would meet other athletes and teammates,” said Peter Schnugg. “It was the way we were brought up. Everyone in our family was a big sports fan. But the fact that so many people ended up at Cal is a surprise. Everyone did well in school and it is amazing how much has happened at Cal. It has been kind of neat.” Now as a senior on the women’s water polo team, Stephanie Schnugg is looking to etch her own footnote to the list of family exploits at Spieker Aquatics Complex. She is one of seven seniors on coach Richard Corso’s squad that is working to bring the Bears to the NCAA Tournament. Schnugg, a 2009 honorable mention All-American, might even join her uncles as a Cal national champion. “Clearly, Stephanie has a great history in athletics and a great tradition in Cal sports,” said Corso, who was the USA men’s Olympic water polo coach in 1996. “She is doing everything she can to keep

1979 Pac-10 Player of the Year, later wed Peter’s sister, Peggy. In all, 15 of Stephanie Schnugg’s aunts or uncles attended Cal between 1967 and 1986 (Peter Schnugg had three brothers and nine sisters). Additionally, six of Stephanie’s cousins are currently attending school in Berkeley, including men’s water polo players Charlie Steffens and Bryan Schnugg. Charlie is the son of Carlos and Peggy Steffens and is one of the bright young stars on Kirk Everist’s men’s water polo team. He has been a two-year starter for the Bears and is an all-academic pick who earned a 4.0 GPA during the fall 2009 semester. Bryan, a sophomore, is the son of John and Meg Schnugg. Stephanie’s older sister, Julia, competed for the Cal women’s soccer team from 2005-07. In two generations, 25 members of the extended Schnugg family have sported the Blue and Gold.

that tradition of excellence at a high level. I had to have her start as a freshman because she was such a great prospect when she came in (in 2006, Corso’s first season with the Bears). I think that was a real positive experience for her, and she has just gotten better every year. She is a big reason why the team has improved.” Stephanie Schnugg is also working on making things better for people outside the pool. In her internship at Oakland Creative Growth, she is getting an opportunity to work in two areas of interest, art and health care, as the downtown Oakland art gallery serves artists with developmental, mental and physical disabilities. Playing high-level collegiate water polo, excelling academically at the top public university in the nation and helping members of the East Bay community, Stephanie Schnugg is not just following the example of the talented Schnugg family, she is creating a legacy of her own.

fter a strong showing in the fall that included two team tournament victories, Cal has plenty of reasons to be optimistic this spring. One of the most compelling is the hunger of a program that captured the 2004 NCAA title but has not returned to the event since. Another is the foursome of Eric Mina, Stephen Hale, Chad Vivolo and Michael Weaver. Hale and Mina are nationally-ranked veterans that both won individual titles in the fall, while Vivolo (transfer from Pepperdine) and Weaver (freshman) had excellent fall seasons with Vivolo taking sixth at the Spartan Golf Classic and Weaver tying for eighth at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational.

Letter from the Executive Director of Bear Backers / ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT
Dear Cal Faithful,
D
uring these difficult financial times, the entire University campus is being challenged in ways that none of us has ever experienced before. Every aspect of our community is struggling to meet the challenges of this extraordinary climate, and Athletics is in no way immune to the pain. Our campus funding has been reduced by 20 percent, similar to other departments on campus. Our operating budgets have been squeezed to accomplish any possible savings, and our coaches and staff are participating in the campus-wide furlough program. Please be assured that the Bear Backer organization is committed to providing economic stability to support the academic and athletic endeavors of the 850 student-athletes who compete for this remarkable institution. Your generosity has afforded us the opportunity to achieve national championships and top 10 finishes in the Directors’ Cup on an annual basis. It is clear that to maintain the thriving, robust and energetic program, we will need to expand the reach of our Annual Fund membership and all of our philanthropic efforts. Scholarship costs alone will exceed $11 million in 2010-11. We need each and every member of the Cal community to join together and support our mission of academic and athletic excellence. Our young men and women deserve it!
TOD BANNISTER Executive Director, Bear Backers
It is under these extraordinary circumstances that we are calling on all Bear Backers for your assistance. We are asking you, our most passionate and faithful supporters, to collectively help us navigate through these challenging times. You can help us in two ways: 1) If you have not already done so, please make your gift to Cal Athletics now; 2) If you have already made your financial contribution, please help us to recruit new Bear Backer members. We have just begun the Ambassador Program and would like all current Bear Backer members to join us in helping to secure the future of this organization. The program is an extension of the Bear Backer office and is designed to help steward current donors more effectively while increasing our membership. You might ask, why is this program needed? Don’t you currently have plenty of Bear Backers? Good questions, but simply not true. We are currently looking to double the size of our current membership to 15,000 by 2012 and, with over 400,000 alumni worldwide, we feel that this is a goal that can be achieved. If every current Bear Backer member was to recruit one new member, we would double in size overnight. By increasing size, we will help secure our future while continuing to provide our young men and women with the resources for them to reach their full potential. The Ambassador Program was implemented to utilize our most influential supporters to broaden the visibility of the Bear Backers while increasing our numbers. There are many great reasons to help us with this cause, and all Bear Backers, regardless of donor level, are encouraged to participate. To learn more about the Ambassador Program and how it works, please contact me at (510) 643-2427. This is a great way to help in our mission in a manner that won’t cost you a penny. Thank you again for your continued support, and Go Bears!

CAL SPORTS QUARTERLY
By Melissa Dudek
t is a balmy Fourth of July weekend in New England. You are standing off the green on the 17th hole at the Newport Country Club, a solid 60 feet from the pin. You pull your wedge out of your bag, take a deep breath, and chip the ball up into the air. You hold your breath, watching as it lands inches from the hole and slowly, slowly, slowly … falls in! The crowd behind you explodes in a thunder of applause. The television cameras beam your smiling face into the homes of the millions of people watching the U.S. Open in their living rooms. It is the stuff that golfers’ dreams are made of. Or in the case of Cal sophomore Joanne Lee, it is the stuff memories are made of. The 2006 U.S. Women’s Open Championship was the first of three U.S. Opens that the 21-year old has competed in. Lee also played in the 2007 Open at Pine Needles in Southern Pines, N.C., and the 2008 Open at Interlachen Country Club in Minnesota. Lee is not unique among the Cal golfers in having experience playing against the world’s best as three members of the Bears’ top five have participated in major tournaments the past several years. Senior Roseanne Niven has a pair of professional tournaments under her belt, the 2009 Ricoh British Women’s Open at the historic Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club and the 2008 English Open. And sophomore Daniela Holmqvist played in two pro tournaments last summer in her native Sweden. It is one thing to play against the pros. Holmqvist has won against the pros – a 2009 Swedish Mini Tour event and the 2009 Volkswagen Söderberg Ladies Masters. Because of its timing right after the British Open, many of the European Tour pros ended up playing in the “Volkswagen Open” and found themselves staring up at Holmqvist’s name atop the leader board. Holmqvist herself, who held a one-stroke lead heading into the final round of the tournament, refused to look.
“I tried to build up this notion that I was “After you putt, you hear the crowd take perience of these tournaments alone.
