GERSTEN PAVILION: HOME OF LION VOLLEYBALL

ne of Southern California’s premier athletic facilities, Albert Gersten Pavilion begins its 22nd year as home of the Loyola Marymount Lions. Since opening night, the Pavilion has become one of toughest places to play in the West Coast Conference. The 63,000-square foot facility boasts a functional design, featuring rounded columns at each corner, separated by mirrored glass. It houses the athletic programs’ extensive weight rooms, state-of-the-art training and medical facilities and is the home site of all indoor athletic events including women’s volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball games. The Lions first moved into the facility in 1982 and recorded 14 wins in Gersten’s inaugural season. Under head coach Steve Stratos, the LMU women’s volleyball team has posted an overall record of 121-44 (.733) in the confines of the Pavilion. In 21 years, the 1996 WCC volleyball championship team has been the most successful with a 14-1 mark, for a .933 winning percentage. Built to accommodate the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the Pavilion served as the host site for the weightlifting competition of the Games. More than 1,000 people were involved with the staging of the event which attracted the largest number of weightlifting competitors in the history of the Olympics. More than two million people were brought into the Pavilion through television, radio, newspapers and wire services that attended the competition. Prior to the Olympics, Gersten was the site of the McDonald’s Gymnastics Classic in 1983, featuring the best male and female gymnasts from the United States and the former Soviet Union. In 1991, the Pavilion was the venue for the men’s and women’s volleyball and boxing preliminaries at the U.S. Olympic Festival. It has

Stratos Year-By-Year in Gersten been host to top basketball camps in the country, hosting LMU alumnus Pete Newell and his Big Man’s Camp for NBA players. It has served as one of the official practice homes of the L.A. Lakers and L.A. Clippers, in addition to visiting NBA franchises. Most recently, the Pavilion hosted Kiki Vandeweghe’s Individual Instruction Camp with some of the best in the NBA participating. The Pavilion was named in honor of Albert Gersten, father of LMU regent Albert Gersten, Jr., a 1974 LMU graduate. The Gersten family was the largest single donor to the construction project. Positioned just to the east of the University gates, the entire LMU Athletic and Recreation Complex includes Gersten Pavilion, George C. Page Baseball Stadium, Sullivan Field, and the Burns Recreation Center and Aquatics Complex.

She finished the year with 750 kills and took over first place in the West Coast Conference and LMU record books for most kills in a single season. In addition to setting single-season kill records, McFarland also stepped into third place in the NCAA record books for most kills in a five-game match. She had a 52kill performance at home against No.14 Ohio State on Sept. 10, a mark that came just four shy of the NCAA five-game record of 56 kills.

Other honors McFarland garnered throughout the year included three WCC Player of the Week awards (Sept.6, Sept.14, Oct. 25), one WCC Player of the Month award (September) and an AVCA National Player of the Week (Sept.13) award.

She continues to hold the top spot in the West Coast Conference and LMU record books for most kills in a single season improving on the mark of 750 she set as a junior. In addition to leading the nation in kills for two straight years, McFarland etched her name into the NCAA record book as well.

AVCA A LL -A MERICAN S ARAH N ORIEGA • O UTSIDE H ITTER • 1994-1997 Described by many as “one of the top players in the country” during her career at Loyola Marymount University, Sarah Noriega elevated standards for the future of LMU women’s volleyball in her four seasons with the Lions. In 1997, Noriega became the first player to earn AVCA AllAmerica first-team honors as well as Volleyball Magazine All-America secondteam accolades. She was the West Coast Conference Player of the Year in 1997 after being named an all-conference first-team selection for the third consecutive season. Noriega was a three-time All-District VIII honoree, was named LMU’s Female Athlete of the Year (1997-98), was a participant at the U.S. Olympic Festival (1995) and a World Games participant. "LMU, Texas and Nebraska were the three main schools I had narrowed my decision down to," Noriega said. "LMU seemed like the best fit for me because I got along with the players and coaching staff the best. LMU's academics played a big factor as well as the location of the school. I wanted to experience Los Angeles, and this was the best way I saw to be able to do that." In her final year as a Lion, Sarah Noriega led LMU to a 22-7 final record. She was named the 1997 West Coast Conference Player of the Year and was named to the All-WCC first team for the third consecutive season. Noriega was an all-tournament selection at the LMU/Furama Hotel and UCSB/Judy Bellomo Classics. She received WCC Player of the Week accolades three times during her final season (Oct. 6, Nov. 3, Nov. 10), while also being recognized as the AVCA National Player of the Week twice (Oct. 6 and Nov. 10). On Nov. 7, 1997 Noriega set the NCAA record for most kills in a four-game match with 47 against San Diego, a mark which still stands today. She posted two matches on the season with 40 or more kills, six matches with 30 or more and 17 matches with 20 or more. Noriega completed her stellar career second all-time at LMU in kills (1,446) and attack percentage (.319), fifth in blocks (298) and sixth in aces (115).

"Larry (asst. coach Larry Smoot) first discovered Sarah at the Junior Olympics in Austin, Texas in 1993," Head Coach Steve Stratos said. "She was very raw but with a huge amount of potential. We were battling some outstanding programs to get Sarah to come here.

D I G THI S ! Q &A W I T H O L Y M P I A N SARAH NORIEGA LMU: What made you decide to attend LMU? SN: The volleyball team and sports program at LMU were very impressive. I liked the organization and the support of the program administrators, sponsors, alumni, athletic director and the facilities. I also chose LMU because of its academic tradition. I was very impressed with the resources available to me and I like the concept of small class sizes. LMU: What did you like about the local area surrounding LMU? SN: I came from a small midwest town so moving to Los Angeles was a little intimidating at first. LMU’s location though is perfect. Not only are you minutes away from the beach cities, airport and major freeways but you have the peace and tranquility of the school itself and its surrounding residential community. LMU is located in a small, safe community but close enough to the things that make a college experience memorable.

LMU: What were some of the academic support services available to you at LMU? SN: Going from high school to collegiate academics was a big adjustment for me but easy access to helpful staff and materials helped me a great deal. I frequently took advantage of the Learning Resource Center where I met with advisors. The LRC helped me tremendously and was able to set up personal tutoring whenever I needed. LMU: How did playing at LMU help you reach your goals of being an All-American and an Olympian? SN: First and foremost, being in a safe and productive environment allowed me to relax and feel comfortable to give my best effort. I owe the majority of my success to head coach (Steve) Stratos and to asst. coach (Larry) Smoot. They were the ones who recognized the potential of a skinny girl and took a chance in developing her into a great athlete. They constantly supported, encouraged and challenged me. They worked so hard to help me realize my dreams. I owe them big time!

LMU: What were the academic advantages of attending LMU? SN: I liked that LMU offered the opportunity to not only know my peers, but to develop relationships with the professors as well. I never felt like I was just a number in an auditorium full of students. LMU and its sister schools stem from a long tradition of academic excellence, therefore, allowing the university to be connected with the top personnel in nearly every field of study it offers.

LMU: What was your favorite Olympic moment? SN: I have so many but I think the opening ceremonies was the most memorable. It was so incredible being able to represent my country in the greatest sporting event in the world. The feeling of first stepping foot on the field after coming through the tunnel is indescribable. Then seeing the Olympic flame lit topped the whole experience off for me. It is definitely something I will always cherish. LMU: Is there anything you would change about your playing career? SN: There have been times in my career when I haven’t enjoyed playing and experienced some terrible moments. At the time I wished I could change things or that I didn’t have to endure those bad times but in retrospect I needed to experience them. It was those moments of self doubt, fatigue, mental and physical exhaustion that helped me to learn more about myself. I think that every athlete experiences moments like that; but it’s athletes that choose to persevere through those times that succeed and excel. So, in short, no I wouldn’t have changed any part of the road that I have traveled. I know that there are still many more obstacles and I hope I have learned enough to endure and overcome those challenges as well.

Established in 1987, it is a means of acknowledging the accomplishments of student-athletes in the classroom, playing field and in their communities. College student-athletes are recognized through an award certificate program. They are acknowledged by their coaches and athletic directors if they have achieved an overall cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 (as well as earned a 3.0 for the completed academic year), and earned a varsity letter in a sport. The student-athletes are honored at events which take place on their campus or communities in the month of April. In 2001, more than 158,000 student-athletes were honored across the country.

he Big Sister Program was established by Head Coach Steve Stratos and his coaching staff in 1997 as a way to help freshmen adapt to their new life at Loyola Marymount and to the LMU volleyball program. It is basically a volunteer program which pairs each freshman newcomer with an upperclass teammate to guide them through their first year of college. They assist the new student-athletes in every aspect of college life from helping them find their classes to introducing them to people. The veteran athletes are key teaching tools in helping each newcomer learn how to get balance both in school and volleyball during their first semester. Coach Stratos and his staff have found that this program has helped bring an air of family and togetherness to each new team.

he LMU student-athlete’s chances of excelling academically have improved three-fold since the arrival of Dr. Maureen Schaukowitch. She was the first ever student-athlete academic coordinator at Loyola Marymount University. The creation of such a position demonstrates LMU’s commitment to assisting student-athletes achieve their full potential academically as well as athletically.

Despite high expectations upon entering the 1998 season, the Lions were disappointed to finish fourth in the West Coast Conference with an 18-8 overall record and a 9-5 conference mark. With a highly competitive conference, the No. 25-ranked Lions were left out of the NCAA postseason tournament for the first time since 1993. They ended the 1998 regular season ranked No. 25. Using 1998 as a learning experience, Stratos and the Lions jumped back into the NCAA tournament in 1999, advancing to the second round, and were ranked as high as No.22 in the AVCA rankings (Sept.28). In 2000, Stratos and the Lions continued their pursuit of excellence by starting the season on a seven-match winning streak which propelled them to a season-best No. 21 AVCA ranking (Sept. 4). Last season, the Lions tarted the season with an 11-3 mark, handing the program its 13th consecutive winning season under Stratos’ guidance. During Stratos’ first season (1990), the Lions posted a 21-16 record and made a postseason appearance in the NIVC (National Invitational Volleyball Championship). In 1992, he led the team to its second NIVC appearance and a 22-13 record. The following year (1993), the Lions accumulated a 23-7 overall record, and finished second in the WCC (11-3).

T HE 2003 L IONS In the upcoming volleyball season, Loyola Marymount will look to regain its rightful position atop the West Coast Conference volleyball standings. The Lions will rely heavily on senior firstteam all-conference selections Tiana Newsome and Kealani Kimball. Last year, LMU endured numerous injuries at key positions to post a 15-12 record, the program’s 13th straight winning campaign. After starting the season at 11-3, LMU began receiving votes in the AVCA Poll, but after injuries decimated the team, the Lions dropped nine of their 12 matches.

side hitter Sandy Krone could also make an immediate impact. Stratos concluded his 13th year at the helm of the Lion women’s volleyball program. In his time at LMU, Stratos has led the Lions to eight 20-win seasons and eight postseason appearances, including four consecutive from 1997-2000. Stratos has posted a career total of 262-123, for a .681 winning percentage, the highest in LMU volleyball history and second among current WCC coaches. In league action, he owns a record of 132-50, good for a .725 winning percentage. With 132

Sophomore middle blocker Dina DeBernardi and junior setter Nicole Oehlman will return to the Lion line-up after sustaining season-ending injuries a year ago. Along with veterans Jody Carlson, Michelle Look, and Krista Houseman and a talented group of newcomers, LMU will hope to return to the nation’s elite with another trip to the NCAA Tournament.

and junior campaigns. DeBernardi will return after sustaining a dislocated elbow last season. Before her injury, she was emerging as one of LMU’s best players. In a 3-0 win over Colorado on Sept. 7, she had the fifth highest hitting percentage in school history (.833, 10-0-12), setting a sophomore class record, previously held by former LMU All-American Sarah Noriega (.765) in 1995. DeBernardi returned to form during the Spring season and will be a force during the 2003 season, while Kelli Nerison also ended the Spring absolutely on fire. She was one of the major reasons the Lions will be able to enjoy so much success, including their win at the LMU Spring Invitational. Motton could find a home at either middle blocker or outside hitter, dependent on the outcome of the August twoa-day practices. Motton is a tremendous athlete with the potential of playing all three front-row positions.

Carlson, Houseman and Look have all been starters at LMU. Carlson averaged 1.75 kills per game last year as a sophomore, while Houseman and Look averaged 1.42 and 2.02 kills per game, respectively, as rookies. Roxanne Orsini will return for her senior season, after being an junior college AllAmerican. Krone could also be a weapon this year and certainly a force in the future. She is very versatile athlete, who can play on both the right and left side.

Defensive Specialists/Libero LMU will have a number of talented athletes battling for the starting Libero position this season. After being hampered by numerous injuries last year, Jacene Dimson is back at full strength. Dimson was among team leaders, averaging 2.98 digs per game, while playing in just 58 games. She had a career-high 29 digs against Maryland.

man Cat Svorinich could also prove to be solid defensive specialists. Road to Victory The Lions will once again open the season with the LMU Furama Hotel Invitational, August 29-30, followed by a home match with national-power UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 2. After taking on the Gauchos, LMU will continue to take advantage of the warm confines of Gersten Pavilion, hosting the LMU Four Points Sheraton Classic, Sept. 5-6.

Dimson’s main competition will be Leonard. Considered the top senior Libero in the state of California last year as a prep, Leonard will raise the quality of play of all the back-row experts. Both athletes are extremely quick with good hands.

The Lions won the Classic last season, downing a pair of teams listed in the USA Today/AVCA Top 25. The Lions beat both Notre Dame and Colorado to win the title. It was the Lions’ second Classic title in the past three seasons.

Meg Wooton was the starting setter for LMU last year, but will also be looking for playing time at defensive specialist. Wooton had a double-double against Indiana on Sept. 14 with 30 assists and 11 digs, while senior Elizabeth Samson appeared in 54 games, recording 83 digs on the season. Samson posted her best match of the season with 18 digs and three service aces against No. 11 Santa Clara on Nov. 16. Sophomore Tiffiny Self and fresh-

After traveling to Cal State Fullerton on September 9, LMU will head to Pullman, Washington for the Washington State Invitational, Sept. 12-13. The Cougars finished third last season in the Pac-10, as one of eight league schools to advance to the NCAA Tournament. In 2002, Washington State advanced to the Elite Eight and was ranked seventh in the final national rankings.

LMU will travel to Honolulu, Hawaii for a pair of matches, before returning to Southern California for four more matches to conclude the non-conference slate. On Oct. 3, LMU will open the league schedule with a home match versus Saint Mary’s. The WCC sent three teams (Pepperdine, Santa Clara and San Diego) to the NCAA Tournament last season, with the Waves also reaching the Elite Eight. Last year, LMU finished in a fourth place tie with the Gaels in the conference standings at 6-8, marking the first time in Stratos’ tenure that the Lions ended the league slate with a losing effort. It was just the second time in school history that LMU had posted a losing conference record, the other coming in 1988 (4-10). “It should be a five team race again this year,” Stratos said. “Pepperdine will definitely be the team to beat, and as usual, there will be three for four conference teams in the Top 25.

T HE W EST C OAST C ONFERENCE hen the West Coast Conference first got its start back in 1952, the founders really had only one goal in mind... to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball. What has grown from that original vision some 50 years ago is a cohesive athletics league which is competitive at the national level in 13 sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball. The league was chartered by five institutions (San Francisco, Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara, San Jose State and Pacific) as the California Basketball Association, playing it’s first game on Jan. 2, 1953. After two seasons of play under that name the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became the “West Coast Athletic Conference” in 1956. The name was shortened in 1989. The current alignment has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third most stable conference in the nation.

Only the Ivy League and Pacific-10 Conferences have been together longer. The eight current members of the WCC span the Western Coast of the United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the locales range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington State to the sun drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in athletics and academics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission. Women’s volleyball, one of 13 sports the West Coast Conference sponsors, was added to the WCC lineup in 1985. At least two league representatives have advanced to Division I postseason play for 11 straight seasons, including Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, Santa Clara and San Diego. Last season, those squads finished the season with a combined 7933 (.705) overall record, advancing three to the NCAA Tournament.

The 2002 Lions in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

Annually, the Loyola Marymount volleyball team travels to face the toughest competition in the nation. And in doing so, the Lions enjoy the opportunity of experiencing the best America has to offer. In the past, LMU has travelled to Arizona, Colorado and the campus of Notre Dame. Last year, the Lions visited Washington D.C., while participating in the Terrapin Invitational. In addition to the beautiful cities throughout the West Coast Conference, including San Diego, San Francisco and Malibu, this season the Lions will head to Hawaii.

Dr. William Husak

Rev. Robert B. Lawton, S.J.

LMU Director of Athletics

LMU President

r. William S. Husak begins his sixth year as the Athletic Director at Loyola Marymount University. Since taking over the program in 1998, LMU has reached a new level of success. With the implementation of the 10-year strategic plan, the future is bright for LMU athletics. Husak’s first appointment as a collegiate athletic director has focused on developing a team of coaches, support staff and administrators who believe that LMU’s athletics program can be among the elite in the nation. His first four years have been marked by enhancing the support of the athletic teams through the creation of the Student-Athlete Academic Center and the Lions Strength and Conditioning Center, increased scholarship and operational support and enhancing the coaching and support staff. The past two years have been two of the most successful seasons in school history as the Lions won over 55 percent of its dual competitions. Since 1998, LMU has claimed 11 conference championships and 14 NCAA postseason appearances. Off the field, the Lions have had a 50 percent increase in national scholar-athletes as 128 claimed the honor in the 2002-03 academic year, the most in school history. Last year 85 student-athletes were named to the West Coast Conference honor roll. Husak attributes the current success and the future growth of the program on the staff that is place. Since he took over the program, the coaching and administrative staffs that lend support to the more than 330 student-athletes has more than doubled in size. At the conclusion of the 2002-03 athletic year, a full-time head coach will lead each of the 17 varsity sports sponsored at LMU. When Husak took over, only nine of the programs were led by full-time coaches. In addition, support for the student-athletes was enhanced with the addition of six brand new support staff positions, which included an athletic academic coordinator, marketing/promotions manager, corporate relations manager, assistant athletic trainer, and an assistant media relations director. "Although much has been accomplished, there is still a great deal to achieve," Husak said. "If our athletics program is truly to become consistently great, we must achieve the objectives of our campaigns for facilities and endowments. We can not do this without the support of all those who believe that athletics is an integral part of the LMU experience for not just the student-athletes but all who are associated with this great University." Husak comes from a long and accomplished background as an administrator, fundraiser and pro-

obert B. Lawton, S.J., fourteenth president of Loyola Marymount University, is a classicist, scripture scholar, administrator, and priest. Born in Cumberland, Maryland, he entered the Society of Jesus in July 1965. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Fordham University (summa cum laude) with a major in classics in 1971, he went on to earn his Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University in 1977 where he was a Danforth and a Woodrow Wilson Fellow. He was ordained on June 13, 1981. From 1977 to 1979, Father Lawton served in several positions at Georgetown University, including assistant professor in the Department of Theology. After a year of further studies in Germany, he taught Hebrew and Aramaic at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome from 1982 to 1984. In 1984, he became an Assistant Dean of Georgetown College and, in 1989, he was named its Dean. Prior to accepting the position of president at Loyola Marymount in May of 1999, he was a trustee of the University of Scranton, and Fairfield University. He is a trustee of Loyola Marymount, Boston College, and the William H. Hannon Foundation. Father Lawton holds the rank of professor in LMU’s Departments of Theological Studies and Classics.

fessor. As the former senior associate athletic director at California State University Long Beach, he enjoyed a successful career in both the academic and athletic arena over a span of 18 years. From 1993-1998, he served as the director of the 49er Athletic Association, and helped raise $6 million towards a $22 million capital campaign for construction of CSULB's athletic complex, The Pyramid. While at CSULB from 1983-1997, Husak served as an assistant commissioner for the California Collegiate Athletic Association. There, one of Husak's main responsibilities included supervising officials for the conference. Between 1986 and 1993 he served as chairman of CSULB's physical education department. As an associate professor of physical education at CSULB between 1979 and 1986, he established the university's Motor Behavior Laboratory. A 1972 graduate of State University of New York (SUNY) at Cortland, Husak holds a master's degree and Ph.D. in physical education from Texas A&M University. He and his wife of 30 years, Tish, live in Long Beach and have three sons, Greg, 28, Todd, 24 and Jon, 22.
