2008 SEASON PREVIEW With an experienced and deep infield, the reigning WCC Freshman of the Year roaming the outfield, a strong pitching staff that includes seven upper-classmen arms and key new additions, look for the 2008 LMU baseball team to finish near the top of the heap in the competitive West Coast Conference.
SEASON PREVIEW
Squaring-off against some of the toughest competition in 2007, including five games against eventual College World Series participants and 21 games against teams ranked in the Top-25 at some point in the year, LMU (22-33-1, 9-12 in the WCC) had little room for injury and spurts of bad luck. Unfortunately for the Lions, the injury bug struck early and removed a senior leader and four-year starter, A.J. LaMonda. LaMonda recorded only nine at bats during Opening Weekend before breaking his wrist and being forced to the sideline for the remainder of the season. Just as the Lions seemed to find a groove, opening the month of March by winning six of seven games, including a three-game road sweep of Cal Poly and a road series win over No. 28 Tulane, injury riddled yet another key component of the team. Andy Beal, who threw in six of those seven games and compiled a 1-0 record with four saves and a 1.12 ERA as the Lions’ closer, was able to throw in just three more games over the course of the season. This year, LMU looks ready to get back on the winning track through dependence on both experienced and newly acquired hitters as well as the arms of both their returning pitchers and fresh fireballers eager to show their stuff. Expecting to be amongst the best in the competitive West Coast Conference, the Lions look to be in the mix for their first postseason bid since 2000. LMU was once again predicted to finish fourth amongst its WCC opponents, securing that spot in the preseason predictions for the fourth time in the last five seasons. Picked to finish fourth in 2004, Head Coach Frank Cruz led the team to a conference-best 20-7 record and the Coast Division title. His efforts earned him his third career WCC Coach of the Year selection and the top place in the 2005 WCC preseason poll.
BEAL
Trying to once again defy the preseason predictions, LMU returns four starters to the field, highlighted by the return of sophomore outfielder, Angelo Songco. A.J. LaMonda, the Lions’ starting first baseman to start the 2007 campaign, returns for a fifth year of eligibility after injury halted his season early last year. Seniors Michael Glomb and Sean Dovel provide leadership in the infield, while newcomers Kyle Spraker and Andy Preston will be called upon immediately to make a difference. On the mound, the Lions return nine pitchers from last year’s staff. Now in his senior year, Andy Beal, junior Mike Kenney and freshman Martin Viramontes are expected to be called upon to provide quality starts for LMU, while many arms, including sophomore Xavier Esquivel and junior Lee Roberts, could potentially see starts throughout the year. When they are not starting, Esquivel and Roberts, along with senior Nate Keadle, juniors Ernie Cho and Steve Connolly, sophomore Jeremy Burrell and a host of first-year Lions, will be summoned to deliver quality innings out of the bullpen. Pitchers Head Coach Frank Cruz and his staff are faced with the task of filling the void left by the draft and/or departure of Brad Meyers, Daniel Macias and Brian Wilson from last year’s rotation. LMU returns only 34 percent of the innings from last year, but the coaching staff is confident that the current team of returning arms and new hurlers are poised to succeed this season. One favorite to get the nod on Friday is Andy Beal, who has been used in variety of situations over his tenure at LMU. Mike Kenney is in the mix to get starts on Saturday after appearing exclusively out of the Lion bullpen just a year ago. Martin Viramontes, who is just one year removed from high

school, will likely see time as LMU’s third starter and will be expected to immediately contribute quality innings and starts on the hill for the Lions. Praised by his coaches for doing everything they’ve ever asked of him, whether it be to start or come out of the bullpen, it looks as though Andy Beal will be asked to fulfill the former role this season for the Lions. After a stellar season as a freshman in which he compiled a 4-1 record, three saves and 40 punch-outs in 31 relief appearances to the tune of a 3.71 ERA, Beal was entered into the starting rotation for the first time in 2006. The Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. native was called upon 14 times to start a game that season, recording a 5-8 mark with a 5.58 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 90.1 innings of work. Last season, serving as the LMU closer, he appeared in 18 games and collected a 2-1 record with a 7.33 ERA, five saves and 20 strikeouts. Already off to a good start in 2008, Beal was awarded the Outstanding Pitcher honor at this year’s Crimson vs. Navy series. “We are hoping that Beal can stay healthy all year, and we will look to him for guidance and quality starts due to his vast experience and potential at the college level,” Cruz said. Cruz is also expecting big things from Mike Kenney, a junior right-hander who has appeared solely out of the bullpen over his two seasons at LMU. Following a freshman campaign in which he appeared in just two games due to rehabilitation of a previous injury, Kenney appeared in 23 games last year. The native of Carlsbad, Calif. finished the season with a 2-3 record and a 9.88 ERA in 27.1 innings of relief.
The Lions expect immediate results from their hard-throwing, highly touted freshman recruit in Martin Viramontes. The righthander, a 2007 graduate of Bullard High School in Fresno, Calif., earned varsity letters in his sophomore, junior and senior years. Viramontes garnered All-League honors in his junior and senior seasons while earning All-State and All-CIF recognition after his senior campaign. Although it is unclear who will take the mound as the fourth starter in a four-game non-conference series, or as the midweek starter, sophomore Xavier Esquivel, junior Lee Roberts and a host of Lion hurlers could see time in those positions for Cruz. When he is not summoned for starting duties, Esquivel is expected to be one of the strongest arms out of the Lion bullpen in 2008. The hard-throwing right-hander appeared in 28 games last season, four as a starter and 24 out of the Lion bullpen. His 28 appearances were tied for most on the team last season, while his eight games finished placed him second in that category. In all, the native of Chino, Calif. collected a 6.06 ERA over 52 innings of work while striking out 18 batters. In addition, he held opponents to a .270 batting average, tops amongst pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched last year. “Esquivel is coming off a good freshman campaign, and with a full year of experience under his belt, we expect good things this season,” Cruz said. Roberts made 17 appearances, one start, for LMU last season. The Hermosa Beach, Calif. native toted a 1-1 record with a 6.00 ERA in 24 innings pitched. Entering his senior season, Nate Keadle is also expected to be called upon often out of the Lion bullpen. Keadle appeared in a team-high tying 28 games last year for the Lions, consisting of two starts and a team-best 26 relief appearances, while compiling a 3-2 record and a 6.37 ERA over 29.2 innings pitched. Keadle ranked fourth on the team with 26 strikeouts last year, trailing only the weekend starters from last season in Brad Meyers (85), Daniel Macias (51) and Brian Wilson (45). An all-around athlete, Ernie Cho will be asked to contribute both on the mound and in the outfield for the Lions this season. Cho appeared in six games last year for the Lions, turning in 4.1 innings of work. Jeremy Burrell is another right-handed reliever who could see innings out of the bullpen this season. The sophomore from Hawthorne, Calif. made five appearances last year and finished the season with a 6.23 ERA in 4.1 innings of work. Steve Connolly, one of only two left-handed pitchers on the roster, could see time as a left-handed specialist. Connolly made two appearances last season, accumulating two innings of work. After utilizing his redshirt season in 2007, Greg Meyers is ready to begin his official freshman campaign in 2008. Meyers, the younger brother of former LMU standout, Brad, could see time out of the Lion bullpen this year. Along with Viramontes, LMU has some fresh new pitching entering this season with the arrival of freshmen Chris Eusebio and Brett Williams and sophomore transfer Russell Lowell. Eusebio, a 2007 graduate of Bishop Amat High School in La Puente, Calif., will be used as both an outfielder and a pitcher this season. The right-hander earned varsity letters in his junior and senior years, and was a team captain his senior year, while garnering All-League, All-CIF and All-Area recognition last season. At the plate, he batted .378 with a slugging percentage of .610 and an on-base percentage of .433 as a senior. On the mound, he finished the season with a 10-0 pitching record and a 1.70 ERA en route to guiding his team to the CIF Division 5 championship and the Del Rey League Most Valuable Pitcher award. Lowell transferred to LMU from perennial baseball powerhouse, Long Beach State, after making one appearance for the Dirtbags in 2007. As one of only two left-handers on the staff, Lowell could see quality innings when a southpaw is needed out of the bullpen.

SEASON PREVIEW
According to Cruz, “Kenney had a great summer and we are hoping and expecting him to carry it over into the spring. Our team has experience in the field, and a major part of our success will rely on the pitching being able to step up.”
DOVEL
Catchers In 2008, the Lions will have four different players competing for time behind the dish. Of those four, two (senior Sean Dovel and junior T.J. Bernardy) are returning. Ollie Enos, a junior transfer from The College of Wooster, and freshman Matt Koch round out the rest of the Lion backstops. “The catching position is very deep for us this season,” Cruz said. “In addition, each player is very versatile, which allows for the possibility of being able to fit a few of our ‘catchers’ in the lineup at different positions.” Senior Sean Dovel started 55 of LMU’s 56 games last season, batting .244 with 22 runs scored, 12 doubles, a triple and a team-leading six home runs. The native of LaMirada, Calif. collected 28 RBI and 11 multi-hit games, including two four-hit games, last season. In addition, Dovel ranked second in doubles (12), third in RBI (28) and total bases (83), and fifth in slugging percentage (.397), hits (51) and runs scored (22) last year.
SEASON PREVIEW
Junior T.J. Bernardy (Corona Del Mar, Calif.) was named 2007 LMU Baseball Newcomer of the Year after starting 17 of LMU’s 21 WCC games and batting .250 over that span. His seven RBI in conference play ranked fourth on the Lions, while he finished the season batting .233 overall with 12 RBI and six doubles. Junior transfer Ollie Enos and freshman Matt Koch will also look for innings calling pitches this season. Enos batted .360 with 11 doubles, one triple, a home run, 34 RBI, a .467 slugging percentage, a .419 onbase percentage and eight stolen bases as a sophomore at The College of Wooster before being named first-team All-Conference in 2007. In 2006, he batted .352 and garnered All-Conference honorable mention recognition after finishing with 14 doubles, two triples, two home runs, 34 RBI, a .517 slugging percentage, a .424 on-base percentage and 10 stolen bases. “Enos is a very good transfer for us in that he can play all over,” Cruz remarked. “He is a solid, all-around addition who has really opened eyes so far at LMU and proven that he fits in as a ‘team player’ on the squad.” Koch, the younger brother of former Lion player and coach, Brady, completed a standout high school career at Mira Costa High School in 2007. A team captain as a senior, Koch was a two-time All-Area selection, two-time All-League selection and two-time All-CIF selection in high school. In addition, the 6’0” backstop earned All-State honors as a junior. Junior Brett Mendoza, who is listed as a catcher and could see time at a variety of positions in 2008, played in 37 games and batted .286 overall and .353 in WCC play last year. The native of Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. had a pinch-hit walk-off single to beat Cal State Northridge, 9-8, on March 6. About the options at the catching position, Cruz explained “the catchers this season each bring a little something unique to the table, and each one offers a big upside. Dovel has been hitting very well so far this year and he seems to have the best bat. Bernardy is a solid backstop who is often considered the best receiver of the group. When he is behind the dish, Enos has the strongest arm, while Koch has shown spurts of power at the plate.”

Infield With experience and depth at each position, the Lion infield should prove to be a strength of the team in 2008. “Right now there are good battles for the starting jobs at shortstop and first base. All players involved provide tremendous advantages, and no one player has the job locked-up for the season,” Cruz said. A four-year player for the Lions at both shortstop and third base, Michael Glomb will likely be called upon to play at various positions again in 2008. In a battle for the starting shortstop position in 2008, Glomb finished the 2007 season batting .283 with seven doubles, two triples, a home run and 20 RBI. He posted a career-high and team-high 12-game hitting streak last season while recording two three-hit games. The team leader with 11 hitby-pitches, his .283 batting average placed him fourth on the squad amongst players with 100 at bats, while he also ranked third in triples (2), fourth in hits (56) and runs scored (25), and fifth in doubles (7) and total bases (70). Glomb also batted .286 in conference play last season, which was good for third on the team over that span.
SEASON PREVIEW
Freshman Jonathan Johnson is the early favorite to start at second base this year. Johnson was a three-time team captain and two-time All-League selection for Lakewood High School in Lakewood, Calif. In his senior season, he batted .446 with one home run, 16 RBI, a .524 on-base percentage, nine triples and 37 runs scored. Proving himself worthy of a starting spot this season, Johnson was named MVP of the Crimson vs. Navy series earlier this year. “Johnson is a complete player who we are extremely happy to have in our program,” Cruz said. “He is a very smart player who knows the game, and as a freshman, he is well beyond his years in terms of baseball knowledge.” A duo of transfers, junior Kyle Spraker (Cal) and senior Andy Preston (Purdue), are currently battling for starting spots at shortstop and first base, respectively. Both experienced players at the Division I level, both will likely see a fair amount of playing time this season. Spraker is a quality transfer who redshirted last season for Cal. In 2006, he had 18 starts at second base and five starts at shortstop, batting .164 with a double and three RBI. As a freshman in 2005, Spraker batted .221 with six doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI while making only seven errors in 182 chances (.962 fielding percentage) and turning 31 double plays. Preston batted .267 with three home runs, four doubles and 16 RBI in 33 games last season for Purdue. The 6’4” left-handed hitter spent the summer playing for the Santa Barbara Foresters of the California Collegiate League, where he batted .376 with three home runs, 14 doubles and 51 RBI while helping lead the Foresters to a fourth-place finish at the NBC World Series. Joining Preston in the battle for the starting spot at first base is senior Justin Bunkis. Bunkis hit .254 with a .478 slugging percentage in 37 games, 19 starts, for the Lions in 2007. His three home runs placed him tied for fourth on the team. “Both Preston and Bunkis are experienced Division I hitters, and when they are not starting at first base, they have the potential to be used at the designated hitter spot or as pinch-hitters in match-up situations.” While sophomore Ryan Wheeler is penciled-in as the starting third baseman for 2008, freshman T.J. Filicia and sophomore Will Dugoni will battle for time at the middle-infield positions. Wheeler, a big, physical, left-handed hitter who the coaches feel has unlimited potential, hit .375 in 13 conference games and .261 for the season, playing in 39 games and making 27 starts in 2007. Filicia, a graduate of Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, Calif., was a team captain his senior year while garnering All-League recognition after both his junior and senior campaigns. The 5’10” right-handed hitter batted .360 as a senior. Dugoni found action in 29 of LMU’s 56 games last season, starting 14 along the way. The native of Fremont, Calif. batted .308 with two doubles, three RBI and six runs scored in his 52 at bats.

Outfield Despite its youth, and anchored by the return of Angelo Songco, the LMU outfield looks to be strong offensively and defensively in 2008. With Songco penciled-in to start daily either in center or right, the competition is heating up for the final two spots in the outfield. Along with A.J. LaMonda, a host of freshmen, including Joe Vierra, Michael Lowe, Andrew Irvine and Evan Simonitsch could find innings in each of the outfield positions. Songco, a member of the 2008 Brooks Wallace Award Preseason Watch List and a preseason All-Conference selection, earned 2007 WCC Freshman of the Year and Freshman All-American honors after a stellar campaign last season. The left-handed hitting outfielder led LMU in doubles (22), RBI (33), slugging percentage (.528), sacrifice flies (7) and outfield assists (8) last year. In addition, he tied for the lead in triples (3) and was second in batting average (.321), runs scored (36), home runs (4), total bases (102) and walks (30). In WCC play alone, he led the team in batting average (.392), hits (29), doubles (10), slugging percentage (.635) and on-base percentage (.464). Although he too is just an underclassman, Songco will be looked upon to provide leadership in the outfield.
SEASON PREVIEW
Likely seeing time as the starter in left field or at the designated hitter position will be fifth-year senior and 2007 Baseball America preseason first-team AllWCC pick, A.J. LaMonda. LaMonda missed virtually the entire 2007 campaign due to a broken wrist, but not before recording three hits in nine at bats in three games played. One of the top defensive players in the conference, LaMonda will be expected to help pull weight offensively as well in 2008. As a senior last year at Quartz Hill High School in Quartz Hill, Calif., Joe Vierra was voted All-League and All-CIF after batting .467 with six home runs, 12 doubles, 12 stolen bases, 40 runs scored and 33 RBI. In addition, the 6’3” right-handed hitter garnered Team MVP, Player of the Year and City and CIF All-Star recognition after his senior campaign. Michael Lowe, who could also see time on the mound for the Lions in 2008, was a three-time All-League selection for Jesuit Prep High School in Portland, Ore. In addition, he garnered All-State honors after his junior year and led the Metro League in stolen bases as a junior and senior. Andrew Irvine earned three varsity letters in his high school career at Great Oak and Temecula Valley High Schools in Temecula, Calif. Irvine was named All-League, All-Conference, All-City and All-Area as a junior and senior and was awarded an All-CIF bid as a junior. The 6’2” right-handed hitter batted .330 with four home runs as a senior and .524 with five home runs as a junior. Evan Simonitsch was a twotime team captain and was selected All-League after his sophomore, junior and senior seasons at Saint Francis High School in Glendale, Calif. Simonitsch garnered All-Area recognition after his junior and senior campaigns, while earning an All-CIF bid as a junior. He finished his senior year batting .426 with 22 runs scored, 27 RBI, six doubles, two triples, one home run and 11 stolen bases. According to Cruz, “Our goal for this season is to go out and play to the best of our potential. We are hoping to be offensive and play good defense, and we need our pitching to really step-up and provide quality innings. One of our strengths this season will be the depth and experience in the field, especially at the infield positions. If the new players can come in and gel well with the returnees, and both groups can produce offensively, we feel that we can be very competitive in this conference.”

LMU AT THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES The 1986 LMU baseball team had the best season in program history. It was also one of the best overall seasons of all time for LMU Athletics. Following a 1985 season in which the Lions did not have a winning record at 27-28, the program performed one of the best turnarounds in LMU athletics history. They finished the season with a program-best 50 wins and wrapped-up the season at 50-15, a 23-game improvement from the previous year.
appearance in the College World Series.
LMU was placed with UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Hawaii in Los Angeles at UCLA. It looked as though it might be two-and-out for the Lions, as they dropped their first game to UC Santa Barbara, 11-5, to move down to the elimination bracket. However, LMU would reel off its next four games, fighting through four separate elimination games to earn a bid to the school’s first
In game two of the Regional, the Lions defeated UCLA 12-10, eliminating the Bruins and earning a rematch with UC Santa Barbara. LMU advanced past the Gauchos with a 14-6 win, and would then have to beat the University of Hawaii twice to compete in Omaha. After 10-6 and 12-5 victories, the Lions earned a trip to the 1986 College World Series.

LMU AND TEAM USA
LMU AND TEAM USA After representing LMU on the USA Baseball National Team in the summer of 2004, LMU Head Coach Frank Cruz and righthander Stephen Kahn (2003-05) returned to Los Angeles with a gold medal from the FISU II World University Championship in Taiwan. Cruz, who served as Team USA’s manager, and Kahn (now in the Seattle Mariners organization) helped the National Team to a perfect 8-0 run at the championship, including a 4-2 come-from-behind win over Japan in the title game. Cruz led Team USA to an 18-7 record on the summer, including winning 12 of the last 14 games. Kahn became the third Lion to play for the National Team since they began selecting the official squad in 1984. He joined former LMU baseball standouts Joe Ciccarella (1989-1991) and Chris Gomez (1990-91), who played a combined three seasons for the Red, White, and Blue. Cruz was selected in January to serve as the 2004 squad’s field manager after serving as an assistant for Team USA in 2000. Sending both Kahn and catcher Jonathan Higashi (2001-04) to June’s National Team trials, LMU was just one of seven schools (LMU, Long Beach State, Mississippi, Texas, Stanford, Vanderbilt, and USC) to have multiple players invited to the trials pool of 36 players. “When the guys at the trials asked me what Cruz is like as a coach, I told them that they’ll definitely enjoy the summer with him,” Kahn said. “I smile inside knowing that I am his player all year and that I get to be there with him this summer with USA Baseball. He is a great representative for our school and our program. Cruz is one of the top Division I coaches and that’s why he is where he is right now: coaching the best players in the nation. It’s nice for our incoming freshmen, as they can know they are coming to play for the coach that was the manager for the USA National Team.” In 20 years of National Team competition, USA Baseball has now won five gold medals. In his two stints with the National Team, Cruz has had a hand in two of those five gold medals. He is now one of just three coaches to be a part of multiple gold-medal-winning squads. Cruz and Team USA went a perfect 6-0 in round robin pool play and then defeated Chinese Taipei (5-2) and Japan (4-2) to capture the gold medal. The Americans entered the championship with a 10-7 record, but then won eight straight in Taiwan and 12 of their last 14 under Cruz. The Americans captured the gold with a combined dominating performance at the plate, on the mound, and in the field. Cruz’s offense led the eight-team field, hitting .307 with six home runs. His pitching staff was nearly untouchable, combining for a 1.19 ERA and striking out 83 batters in 68.0 innings. For continuing a tradition of excellence with the National program, Cruz was named the 2004 USA Baseball Developmental Coach of the Year. With the honor, Cruz, along with the other national award winners named by USA Baseball, advanced to the United States Olympic Committee pool of award winners from every Olympic sport’s national governing body. His team, the 2004 National Team, was also named USA Baseball Team of the Year. The Americans finished the summer of 2004 with an overall record of 18-7 and became the first National Team to ever record a no-hitter, as five pitchers combined to pull-off the feat in a game against Canada. Cruz and Kahn opened the FISU World University Championship with wins over Chinese Taipei (2-1) and Canada (15-1), in their final leg of the tour with the USA Baseball National Team. The right-handed Kahn helped Team USA cruise to the 15-1 rout of Canada, throwing a hitless sixth inning. Earlier in the summer, Kahn helped the National Team to a 19-2 victory over the New England Collegiate Baseball League’s Danbury Westerners in Danbury, Conn. Kahn threw two innings in Team USA’s first game back in the states following its fivegame road swing in Japan. Kahn entered the game in the eighth inning and got the first batter to pop up to second base before striking out two to end the inning. He added a third strikeout in the ninth,

USA BASEBALL NATIONAL TEAM TRIALS As soon as LMU Head Coach Frank Cruz was selected to serve as manager of the 2004 USA Baseball National Team, the selection process began, as he and the staff kept an eye on the top talent in the Nation. Eventually, two LMU players, Stephen Kahn and Jonathan Higashi, were among the elite pool of 36 invited to attend the trials in Durham, North Carolina. Sending both Kahn and Higashi to June’s National Team trials, LMU was just one of seven schools (LMU, Long Beach State, Mississippi, Texas, Stanford, Vanderbilt, and USC) to have multiple players invited. Though Higashi would leave the trials to sign with the Texas Rangers, LMU was well represented on Team USA. “All 36 players at the trials would represent our Nation well,” Higashi said during the trials. “There is not a single bad player here. The coaches could literally close their eyes and draw players’ names out of a hat, and they would have a team that’s a contender for the gold medal.”
LMU AND TEAM USA
completing the 19-2 victory for the Red, White, and Blue at Rogers Park. Kahn’s three strikeouts in two innings helped Team USA move to 7-5, including a perfect 7-0 on American soil. The summer of 2004 was Cruz’s second tour of duty with USA Baseball, but his first as a head coach. Cruz served as an assistant on the 2000 USA Baseball National Team that posted an overall record of 27-3-1 and captured a gold medal at the 2000 Haarlem Baseball Week Championships in The Netherlands. With his service, he became the first USA Baseball National Team Head Coach to be affiliated with the West Coast Conference. After the 2004 National Team players were added to USA Baseball’s all-time roster, the organization named LMU one of the Nation’s top50 college baseball programs in National Team representation. LMU, which has produced three National Team players since 1984, ranks 39th on USA Baseball’s Top-50 National Team Collegiate Programs. Since USA Baseball began selecting players and operating an official National Team to represent the United States in 1984, over 400 collegiate players have donned the Red, White, and Blue uniform from approximately 120 colleges and universities across the country. Despite Cruz’s two-time involvement, the top-50 listing did not award points for coaching selections.

HOME OF THE LIONS: GEORGE C. PAGE STADIUM
GEORGE C. PAGE STADIUM
Now in its 26th season as the home of Lion baseball, George C. Page Stadium has established itself as a tough place for opponents. With Mikos Blue Monster, and the additions of Pride Park and the new batting facility, Page Stadium continues to stake its claim as one of college baseball’s most unique ballparks. Thanks to a gift from Paul Mikos ‘66, a wall containing a manual scoreboard was installed in left field, complete with out of town scores reminiscent of some of Major League Baseball’s classic ballparks. The Mikos Blue Monster is a replica to Boston’s Fenway Park’s Green Monster. The Mikos Blue Monster stands 130-feet wide and 37-feet tall. Within the wall is one of only a handful of manual scoreboards in all of baseball. The board itself isn’t small, standing 18-feet tall and 46-feet wide. Complete with the LMU line score and other score updates, the scoreboard combines some old-time baseball charm with today’s technology. The scoreboard has electronic balls, strikes and outs lights, along with electronic at-bat and hit/error identification. Every other component is tallied using 2-foot square aluminum scorecards slipped in behind the scoreboard manually. Giving Page Stadium additional character is a five-foot indent connecting the Blue Monster with the existing outfield fencing, similar to the odd outfield shapes of the classic Fenway Park in Boston and Minute Maid Park in Houston. Since 1997, when Frank Cruz was hired as Head Coach of the Lions’ baseball program, LMU has established a 169-136-2 record at Page, a winning percentage of 55 percent. The Lions have posted a 414-292-3 record (.586) overall in the park’s 25 seasons. Some of the best years have come in the five conference titles the Lions have won while calling Page Stadium home. The first Page Stadium conference title came in 1986, when the Lions posted a 24-8 record at home. The best record came in 1988, when LMU was 30-4 at home (88 percent). In the years the Lions have won conference crowns, they are 168-55 at Page (75 percent). Since going to a Championship tournament format in 1999, four of the WCC Championships have been played at Page Stadium, with the Lions winning two conference crowns over Pepperdine. The stadium, built at the site of LMU’s old baseball field, was completed at a cost of more than $250,000 with the Incentive Aid Foundation of Los Angeles providing the majority of the funding. Boasting grandstand seating for more than 600 people, the facility features a “VIP” section with 200 theater-type seats. The remaining 400 seats are aluminum with backrests and are located along the first base and third base lines. Field accommodations include spacious field-level dugouts and bullpens, a double batting tunnel, windscreen around the perimeter of the field, and grandstand. The backstop has been modified to enhance spectator viewing of the action on the field. The press box, fully equipped to meet the needs of all media, is located behind the “VIP” seating. A convenient concession stand is located near the north entrance of the stadium. In the summer of 2004, Cruz spearheaded the construction of Pride Park, the stadium’s new entrance. The park, resembling a scaleddown baseball infield, recognizes alumni and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for athletic events at LMU. Page Stadium has been the site of filming for numerous commercials, television shows, and feature films. It served as the site for the baseball scenes in the hit movie “My Blue Heaven” starring Steve Martin. It is also home to many camps, clinics, Little League and prep AllStar games. The facility, which has also been used for outdoor community cultural shows and events, is named in honor of George C. Page, president of the Incentive Aid Foundation. Assisting Mr. Page and IAF in the stadium’s completion was Maynard Kambak, father of LMU baseball alumnus Jeff Kambak. LMU’s historic first game in Page Stadium was played on March 19, 1983, with a 5-1 loss to Cal State Fullerton.

PRIDE PARK THE ENTRANCE TO PAGE STADIUM: PRIDE PARK
Fans visiting Page Stadium will notice one of the most eye-catching improvements in the LMU athletic facilities: Pride Park gives the 25-year-old home to Lion baseball a memorable new entrance. The park, resembling a scaled down baseball infield, recognizes alumni and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for any athletic event at LMU. Pride Park consists of a brick infield with commemorative benches surrounding the area. LMU baseball’s WCC Championship teams, NCAA tournament appearances, and those players who have had their jersey numbers retired are recognized on the benches. LMU fans sponsored the bricks that form the infield. The park now serves as the entrance to George C. Page Stadium, the home of the Lions for 26 seasons. Head Coach Frank Cruz oversaw the design and development of the park, which also offered fans the opportunity to purchase home plate, first, second, and third base, and the flag pole that stands in center field to honor loved ones. “We hope Pride Park will become a place where everyone associated with LMU, and specifically LMU baseball, can gather and reminisce,” Cruz said. “We would like to see that all of those involved with our program’s rich history, both fans and former players, are represented in our brick infield.” Though the design of Pride Park lends itself toward baseball, the location provides a natural focal gathering point for LMU guests that attend any function inside of Gersten Pavilion and Page Stadium, or games on Smith (softball) and Sullivan (soccer) Fields. Pride Park is an important initial step in achieving the athletic department’s dream of a sports complex. With the construction of Pride Park and the creation of the tennis tournament court and Smith Field, fans of LMU athletics now see a modern athletic center surrounding the southwest area of Gersten Pavilion. Inspired by the death of Cruz’s mother, Narcisa Cruz, Pride Park is one of the latest baseball facility improvement spearheaded by Cruz. During the winter of 2003, Cruz oversaw the renovation of the baseball weight room. Similar to the weight room, which recognizes the accomplishments of LMU baseball alumni, Pride Park honors the great moments in LMU baseball history and inspires current players to reach that level of excellence. “The park displays the honor and tradition of LMU baseball and reflects LMU’s long-time pride in having a family community,” Cruz said.

PLAYER’S DEN
Inside, the massive space is lined with turf and divided by three batting-cage nets. The nets and portable pitching mounds allow all players the opportunity to train and practice whether rain or shine. The far side of the training den is used primarily for weight training and storage of batting and pitching equipment. The Plexiglas roll-up doors on both sides of the building offer the shade and convenience of hitting indoors, while at the same time allowing players to practice in the comfortable Southern California weather. Continuing his progress of improving Page Stadium, and the baseball facilities in general, Head Coach Frank Cruz has already turned his attention to and initiated plans to update and renovate the surrounding areas near the den. The area between the bleachers and training den has already been leveled in preparation for a complete overhaul and remodel. The section will soon consist of a bullpen and patio area. That project is expected to be completed sometime during the 2008 campaign. “The player’s den is a facility that we are extremely proud of. We feel it is an extremely important and beneficial space for both our current players and our future recruits, as we can compete our training facility with any other school in the country. This is just one more step in our quest to provide the best for our players and LMU as a whole,” Cruz said.

The 8,000 square foot training den, which is located down the right field line at Page Stadium, features three hitting tunnels, pitching mounds, and a baseball strength/weight room. The den will serve as an all-purpose facility for those associated with LMU baseball.
HEAD COACH FRANK CRUZ
HEAD COACH FRANK CRUZ Having established himself as one of the most respected collegiate coaches in the Nation, Frank Cruz is in his 12th season directing the LMU baseball program. Cruz turned the program into an instant winner, claiming three consecutive West Coast Conference Championships (the first time in school history), two Coast Division titles, and earning three straight appearances in the NCAA Regionals from 1998-2000. Cruz, who was selected by USA Baseball as Head Coach of the 2004 National Team, recently completed a four-year term on the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee. Cruz enters the 2008 season ranking eighth all-time and second among active coaches in the West Coast Conference in career victories with 306 wins as LMU’s skipper. Joining the Lions in 1997, Cruz’s impact on the WCC was almost immediate. In his first season at the helm, he took a team that finished sixth in the conference with an overall record of 21-39 to three straight first-place finishes. That includes finishes of 34-23-1 in 1998, 33-28 in 1999, and 40-19 in 2000. The 40 wins ranks fourth all-time at LMU for victories in a singleseason. The success in 2000 earned Cruz his second WCC Coach of the Year honor, following his first in 1998. In just the second season under Cruz, the Lions won the WCC title and earned a trip to the NCAA Regionals in 1998, where they shocked the baseball world by upsetting No. 2-ranked Stanford in Palo Alto thanks in part to a complete game effort by freshman Michael Schultz. Schultz and current LMU assistant coach Scott Walter were named Freshmen All-Americans, and Schultz earned a spot on the West Regional team after helping LMU defeat Stanford for the first time in school history. Walter was the 1998 WCC Player of the Year, while Schultz garnered WCC Pitcher of the Year honors. The Lions found themselves in the Regionals again in 1999 and 2000, as Cruz led LMU to eight NCAA Regional games in his first seven years. In 1999, LMU defended its WCC Championship against Pepperdine, winning its first back-to-back Conference Title in school history. Billy Traber and Anthony Angel each earned first-team All-WCC honors, with Traber posting a team-high 135 strikeouts in 120.0 innings. The selection marked Angel’s second straight all-conference honor after he hit .322 with 16 doubles, four home runs, and 38 RBI. Behind the efforts of All-American Traber in 2000, LMU earned a 6-4 NCAA postseason win over No.2-seed Cal State Fullerton. Traber’s complete game, 13-strikeout performance advanced the Lions to the Regional winner’s bracket. Walter joined Traber as an All-American after leading LMU to its third-straight WCC Championship. The rise in the WCC is a tribute to Cruz’s reputation as one of the Nation’s top recruiters. In 1997, Collegiate Baseball tabbed Cruz as the Recruiter of the Year. He accomplished that honor after formulating the nation’s 16th best recruiting class which included 2000’s 16th overall draft pick in Traber. In 2004, Cruz led an LMU squad that was picked to finish fourth in the conference to LMU’s best WCC record in eight seasons, going a league-best 20-7 en route to his third WCC Coach of the Year selection. The Coast Division Champions, LMU earned the right to host the WCC Championship Series at Page Stadium. Lion pitcher Stephen Kahn brought the WCC Pitcher of the Year selection to LMU for the second time in four seasons, as Billy Traber won the conference award in 2000. The 2005 season was another thriller for LMU fans, who watched Cruz and the Lions string together one exciting twist after another. The Lions posted six consecutive Tuesday victories, including an April 5th win over top-ranked Cal State Fullerton. The victory over the Titans marked the first time any LMU sport had ever defeated the Nation’s top team. The mid-week streak sparked Cruz and the Lions to the hottest regular season finish in program history, as they won 14 of their final 16 games to earn their second straight Coast Division Title. LMU hosted the WCC Championship Series for the fourth time in seven seasons, with all three games televised live on Fox Sports Net. Cruz’s tireless efforts also helped him earn a position as an assistant coach with the 2000 USA National Baseball program. The team wrapped up the 2000 Qwest Red, White and Blue Tour with a 27-3-1 record, including a 6-0 mark in the final tournament of the summer season leading to the 2000 Olympics in

Matt Riordan (14th round, Baltimore Orioles) and Curt Fiore (34th round, Atlanta Braves) followed in Craig’s footsteps when they were selected in the 1999 MLB draft. Joe Sulentor also signed with the Minnesota Twins following his 1999 season. Six players were then selected in the 2000 draft, including Traber (first round, New York Mets), Schultz (second round, Arizona Diamondbacks), Walter (third round, Kansas City Royals), Jason Aspito (ninth round, Chicago White Sox), Angel (14th round, Houston Astros) and Benny Bonilla (free agent, Arizona Diamondbacks). Two more were taken in 2001, with C.J. Wilson (5th Round, Texas Rangers) and James
HEAD COACH FRANK CRUZ
Clelland (free agent, Montreal Expos) moving to the next level of their playing careers. The 2005 season saw Wilson make his major league debut with the Rangers. The 2003 draft saw four more draft selections for Cruz and the Lions: Joshua Muecke (fifth round, Houston Astros), Josh Whitesell (sixth round, Montreal Expos), Vince Cordova (ninth round, New York Mets), and Ryan Yurek (24th round, Houston Astros). Following the 2004 season, Will Quaglieri signed with the New York Mets pre-draft as a fifth-year senior, just before Kevin Jenson (30th round, San Francisco Giants) and Billy Lockin (37th round, Arizona Diamondbacks) added to the list of drafted Lions. Jonathan Higashi (Texas Rangers), Brady Koch (Houston Astros), and Clint McGill (Houston Astros) also signed professional contracts as the Class of 2004. With three players drafted in the first 10 rounds, the 2005 season saw a total of six Lions move on to professional baseball. Kahn was the highest of all WCC players selected, going to the Seattle Mariners in the fifth round. Jeff Stevens was a sixth round selection of Cincinnati, while James Cooper was taken in the ninth round by the New York Yankees. Joe Frazee signed with Philadelphia after being chosen in the 25th round, while Kyle Mura was selected in the 49th round by the Chicago Cubs. Mura elected to return to the Lions for his senior campaign. Kyle Huddy also went on to sign with the Cincinnati Reds. More recently, Chris Pettit (19th round, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) and Mura (42nd round, Saint Louis Cardinals) signed professional contracts following their four-year LMU careers in 2006. Pettit was named a minor league All-Star his first two seasons and the 2007 Angels Minor League Player of the Year. Also in 2007, Eric Farris (fourth round, Milwaukee Brewers), Brad Meyers (fifth round, Washington Nationals), and DeAndre Miller (24th round, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) joined the professional ranks. During his 11 seasons, Cruz’s teams have set many single-season records. In 2000, his squad made its mark in the LMU record book with home runs (81, 2nd all-time), hits (702, 3rd all-time), doubles (132, 3rd all-time), runs (516, 5th all-time), wins (40, 4th all-time), winning percentage (.678, 4th all-time) and batting average .331, 4th all-time). Many of his players have broken into a variety of single-season and all-time record categories in both the LMU and WCC record books. The 2006 squad was one of LMU’s top-3 defensive teams of all time, registering a .970 team fielding percentage. One of the keys in the drastic turnaround has been Cruz’s involvement in the improvements of LMU’s baseball facilities. The six-time conference champions enjoy one of the most noteable enhancements to Page Stadium, the Mikos Blue Monster. The massive left-field wall makes the ballpark one of the most unique in all of college baseball. In addition, the team has been playing on a new grass infield, and the stadium was equipped with backstop netting, windscreens, a sound system, backstop padding, astroturf dugouts, and lighted batting tunnels. During the winter of 2003, Cruz initiated the renovation of the baseball weight room. The room, which features wall-to-wall mirrors and new equipment, displays program and individual honors, including past conference Player/ Pitcher of the year recipients. The improvements encourage LMU players to reach that level of excellence. Cruz also oversaw the construction of Pride Park, the entrance to Page Stadium, beginning in May 2004. The park, resembling a scaled down baseball infield, recognizes alumni and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for athletic events at LMU. Pride Park features a brick infield with commemorative benches surrounding the area. LMU baseball’s WCC Championship teams, NCAA tournament appearances, and those players who have had jersey numbers retired are recognized on the benches. Cruz didn’t stop there, turning his efforts toward LMU baseball’s latest project: a baseball training den. With construction completed for the 2008 season, the 8,000 square foot training den features three hitting tunnels, pitching mounds, and a baseball strength/weight room. Named to his current post on June 20, 1996, Cruz has employed a highly successful coaching and teaching philosophy from his experience as a high school coach and a former assistant coach under Mike Gillespie at USC. Prior to coming to LMU, Cruz spent four seasons as an assistant on the USC coaching staff. Cruz’s primary responsibilities were with the Trojan hitters and outfielders, two of the team’s strongest areas. In Cruz’s four years at Southern California, the Trojans were one of the most successful programs in the Nation, boasting an overall record of 169-86-1 (.662). During that span, USC made four NCAA Regional final appearances, captured two Pacific-10 championships, and advanced to the 1995 College World Series championship game. Cruz moved to USC after a successful stint at Los Angeles’ University High School, where he taught health and physical education. While at University, Cruz posted a 152-68 career record and led his team to the 1988 L.A. City baseball title, four Western League crowns (1988-90-91-92), and six trips to the city baseball playoffs. Cruz was honored as Area Coach of the Year on three occasions. He remained a part-time teacher through the 1995-96 academic year. Cruz attended Santa Monica College and then transferred to Pepperdine, where he earned both a bachelors (physical education, 1983) and Masters (education, 1989) degree. He is a graduate of Saint Monica High School and resides in West Los Angeles.

ASSISTANT COACH SCOTT WALTER
Former LMU baseball standout Scott Walter (1998-00) once again puts on the Lion uniform, as Walter is in his first season as an assistant coach for the program. Walter returned to the bluff after a professional career and two seasons coaching his other alma mater, Loyola High School. Now with the Lions, Walter will work primarily with the hitters and catchers. A catcher himself, Walter put together one of the best careers in LMU baseball history. Walter led LMU to three straight West Coast Conference titles in his three years as a starter. As a freshman, he was named the WCC Co-Freshman of the Year, the WCC Player of the Year, and a first-team Freshman All-American. By the year 2000, he had three WCC titles to his name and was a Collegiate Baseball All-American. He was a finalist for the Johnny Bench Award as a junior, an honor presented to the nation’s top catcher. He was also an All-Star in the Cape Cod Summer League, considered the most prestigious collegiate summer destination. A career .356 hitter, Walter still ranks in the top-10 in the LMU record book in seven offensive categories, including third in home runs with 36. What makes those rankings even more remarkable is the fact that Walter accumulated the numbers in just three seasons of play. He was drafted after his junior season in the third round of the 2000 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals. He went on to play six professional seasons for the Royals, twice earning All-Star honors: in the Midwest League in 2001 and the Carolina League in 2003. Following his professional career, Walter returned to Loyola High School as a coach in the baseball and soccer programs, helping both to CIF Southern Section Championship games. His 2007 baseball squad won the Division III title. He also returned to the Cape Cod League as an assistant coach with the Orleans Cardinals. While coaching at Loyola High School, Walter returned to the classroom at LMU and finished his degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing in May of 2007. Walter’s ties to the Lions go even beyond his own playing days, however. He is the grandson of LMU Athletics Hall of Famer Hugh Boyle (Class of 1943), who was inducted in 1989 for his contributions to Loyola baseball and basketball. His father, Jim Walter (1967-71) played basketball for the Lions, along with uncles Bernie Boyle (basketball, baseball) and Tom Boyle (basketball). His older brother, Chris, also played soccer at LMU. With younger brother Tim currently at Colorado State playing football, it made it four collegiate student-athletes in four different sports for Jim Walter and his sons. Walter currently resides in his hometown of Manhattan Beach.

ASSISTANT COACH SHANE SCHUMAKER Entering his first season as an assistant coach with the Lions, Shane Schumaker will help with all aspects of coaching while focusing on working with the infielders. Schumaker began his coaching career at El Camino Junior College in 2001 and was responsible for hitting and infield instruction along with assisting with recruiting efforts. At El Camino, he coached for five seasons, and in 2004, helped coach the Warriors to a 30-7 record, the best in school history. That same season, Schumaker helped guide the Warriors to within one game of the State Championship, the furthest any El Camino team had ever gone in the playoffs. In the summers of 2002 and 2003, he took over head coaching duties for the West Torrance 19-andunder All-Star team. Both years he led his team to the Babe Ruth State Championships, where they placed second each year. Schumaker also served as an assistant coach for the Havasu Heat, where he helped guide the Heat to a 37-8 record and a berth in the 2005 NBC World Series. Most recently, Schumaker served two seasons as an assistant coach at UNC Greensboro under head coach Mike Gaski. As an infielder for UNCG from 2000-01, Schumaker was a two-year letterwinner, leading the Spartans in 2001 with a .342 batting average, while hitting 10 home runs and driving in 52 runs en route to being named All-Southern Conference as well as an AllTournament selection. In 2000, Schumaker batted .378, which led UNCG and was sixth best among SoCon hitters. Schumaker graduated from Cal State Dominguez Hills with a degree in Applied Studies in 2003. In 2005, he received his Masters in kinesiology from his alma mater. Schumaker currently resides in Torrance.

WHAT LMU IS ABOUT
Throughout an LMU education, students enjoy the support of instructors who know each individual by name and who make classes challenging, fascinating and fun. Class sizes are 13 to 1 and give each student a chance to exceed even their own expectations.
it’s who you are with Looking for camaraderie? When it comes to providing friends and mentors, you won’t find a university surpassing LMU. The campus population comes from all 50 states and 70 countries. Better still, LMU offers more than 100 extracurricular organizations that hone the students skills and help them find like-minded colleagues for life. Whatever the religious belief, the university pays attention to individual spirit. “I’ve thought a lot about what makes my friends at college different than those from high school, and I’ve realized that the people at LMU live up to the mission of being men and women for others,” said a sophomore. Students are free to examine faith in social or service activities.
it’s where you live Every fall, nine out of 10 first-year students take advantage of LMU housing and for some very good reasons. Some of the benefits of LMU living are simple: an active social scene, meal plans that allow students to dine at various campus locations, and easy access to classes and campus facilities. But university housing offers much more than simple convenience, it also give students an edge. As a resident, students are immediately plugged into programs that help them achieve better grades, meet new friends, develop professional contacts and graduate in a timely manner.
IT’S WHERE YOU’RE BOUND “We’re trying to get rid of you,” professor Kelly Younger, who directs the Honors Program, likes to tell LMU students. He’s referring to the study abroad opportunities, scholarships, internships, academic conferences and competitions that take students off campus and into the world. When it comes time to graduate, students will have the knowledge, confidence, and the strength of spirit to achieve anything the students can imagine.

THE COLLEGES
inside LMU
T
he Chronicle of Higher Education notes that at Jesuit institutions, this precept “translates into a large amount of individual attention from faculty members and accessibility to high-level administrators, including the president.” At LMU, students don’t simply benefit from cura personalis; they practice it, too, carrying out the Jesuit ideal of “men and women for others.” The Marymount sisters contribute a history of educating women and teaching through the arts, with a deliberately international perspective that encourages respect for all cultures. LMU brings these gifts together in five colleges: Business Administration, Communications and Fine Arts, Film and Television, Liberal Arts, and Science and Engineering.
A View to a Promising Future
Hollywood can. “For my junior thesis, I teamed up with two other people to make a two-part, 10-minute sitcom,” says a TV production major. “We developed an idea and asked a senior in screenwriting to write a script. When it came to casting, we ran an ad in Backstage West and received 300 head shots. It was like a real casting audition.” • At LMU, real-world experiences benefit any disciplineeven literature. Students in the BELLARMINE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS don’t just read Jack Kerouac. They go on the road. English professor Kelly Younger explains: “I teach a course called Road Read in which we study not only the literature of Los Angeles and California, but also the city itself as text. After reading Nathanael West’s The Day of Locust, we take a walking tour of downtown L.A., focusing on the architecture of the 1920s and 30s. We read Kerouac’s Big Sur and drive up the coast, spending a week reading, writing and sharing on the intellectual adventure.
• Under the direction of award-winning entrepreneurship professor Fred Kiesner, for instance, students in our COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION participate in an internship program that places them with social entrepreneurs who are working to better society. “More and more, students are saying, ‘Hey, I can use my abilities to do good for others by doing business,” Honors Program said Kiesner. • The University Honors Pro• From their first year, engineering majors in our COL- gram provides intensive LEGE OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING address an innovareal-world design challenges, like devising plans for and improving LMU’s traffic flow. “The project takes a lot tive academic of creativity and some complex problem-solving,” says experience for serious associate dean Tom Calder. “During students’ presen- the tations, we’ve had the University’s V.P. for facilities sit in student.

Student-Athlete Academic Support
S
tudents who choose LMU for higher learning receive a world-class education on a campus known for its athletic excellence. The LMU Athletics Department is committed to assisting student-athletes achieve their full potential both academically and athletically.
STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC SUPPORT
The Student-Athlete Academic Support Staff exists to support all studentathletes in their goals of getting a degree on time, maintaining athletic eligibility, and preparing for life after LMU. The Academic Support Staff provides guidance and counseling from the moment a recruit first walks on to the campus to the moment a student-athlete graduates. Tradition of Excellence LMU has a proud reputation of academic excellence among its student-athletes. In the past few years the LMU Athletics Department has been in the highest percentile of the APR (Academic Performance Rate) scale among all schools in NCAA Division I. According to the 2006 NCAA Graduation Rate, the LMU Athletics Department posted a rate of 84 percent for all student-athletes who exhausted their eligibility and a rate of 79 percent for those student-athletes who received athletic aid. Listed are some examples from the 2006-2007 academic year of the academic excellence LMU student-athletes epitomize: Academic Services The Academic Center and support staff is housed in Gersten Pavilion, providing academic support for the 350+ athletes in 21 sports. The Academic Center includes a study area and desktop computers for student-athlete use. The staff consists of the Academic Coordinator and three Graduate Assistant/Interns, who monitor the progress of student-athletes, ensure timely graduation, and assist in degree preparation. In addition, the academic support staff offers a variety of other services, including: • • • • • • • •
Major Requirements Priority Registration Study Hall Tutorial Services Laptop Checkout for Team Travel Information about Awards and Post Graduate Scholarships Life skills and Developmental Workshops and Speakers Leadership and Mentoring opportunities
The Athletic Department is committed to ensuring every student-athlete reaches their full potential in the classroom. Each student-athlete is required to be enrolled in 15 units per semester and is asked to keep a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA. Each team can increase the department standard depending on the philosophy of the coach. At-Risk Students If a student falls below a 2.5 GPA during a given semester they are required to meet weekly with a member of the academic support staff and attend study hall the following semester. Depending on the situation and circumstances, the student meetings can last from anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour. To help students in need, tutorial services through the Learning Resource Center (LRC) may be recommended by the advisor or requested by the student. First Year Students All first semester student-athletes are required to meet weekly with a Student-Athlete Mentor to ensure they assimilate to life as a student-athlete at LMU. In addition, they are expected to attend study hall for a minimum of 4 hours weekly, in 2 hour blocks. Students are also encouraged to form study groups with fellow students. Finally, first year students will be enrolled in a one-unit class, LIBA 125, Foundations of Academic Achievement. Taught by the Academic Coordinator, Matt Casaña, this class serves to foster important lessons in students such as time management, study skills, diversity, and nutrition.

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

all of which have the specific purpose of improving every athlete’s performance. According to John Frappier, more than 2,000 professional athletes from NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL have participated in the program. Some of the professional athletes who use the system regularly are: Garrett Lowney (2000 and 2004 Olympic Wrestler), Heather Mitts (Professional Soccer Player), Jason Kreis (Professional Soccer Player), Dan O’Brien (Olympic Decathalon Athlete), Cris Carter (All-Pro Wide Receiver), Pascal Dupuis (Minnesota Wild), Jim Kleinsasser (Minnesota Vikings Fullback), Shaun Alexander (Seattle Seahawks), Rick Helling (Baltimore Orioles), Darin Erstad (Anaheim Angels) and Brett Hull (Detroit Red Wings). The tools used to implement the FAST protocols for our student/athletes are: 2 Generation II Super Treadmill (29+ mph, 40% grade), 4 specially designed hardwood plyometric floors, and weight machines designed to target the muscles of the hip girdle, trunk, and legs (2 Hip Machines, 2 Implosion Machines and 2 Plyo Press Machines). Loyola Marymount University is striving in offering our student/athletes an exceptional individualized experience during their time on campus. The Strength and Conditioning program the Athletics Department’s replica of the philosophy by developing the student/athlete potential through specific training routines to the athletes’ sports. Customizing the strength programs ensures the athletes’ growth which in return will help the team win the conference and become a national contender. Life and sports are about opportunities, com-
41
mitment and rewards. There are ample opportunities to participate in sports, but athletes need to realize that with these opportunities, they need to commit to being the best they can be. This takes hard work and determination from each individual to optimize their individual talents and abilities. This commitment and dedication leads to secondary benefits of physical and mental fitness as well as the rewards of participation in sports. Every athlete has the opportunity to succeed by using the FAST program but their commitment to go the extra mile turns into lifelong rewards on and off the field.

LMU STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
T
he strength and conditioning program at Loyola Marymount University has become over the years an essential component of the Athletic department’s quest for Building Champions. The program is constantly looking on adding different training mechanisms for the benefit of our student/athletes under the guidance of Strength and Conditioning Coordinator, Sergiu Boerica and his assistant, Ciara Carl. In the past three years, the Strength and Conditioning program has tried to implement the Frappier Acceleration Speed Training (FAST) based on a partnership that has been established with Athletic Republic Corporation which it is running this speed training system. The FAST speed training protocols has been established through research and development by John Frappier, MS in Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology and his team of researchers, starting 1986. John Frappier’s scientifically designed Programs have two goals: to make the athlete as efficient as possible and to find a balance between different muscles. In order to increase speed, there are two elements which can help do that: stride length and stride frequency. “The longer the stride and the more frequently it occurs, the more ground you’ll cover in a shorter period of time.” states Frappier. The FAST Programs are complex and systematic. They bring together the key components of improved speed, agility and overall athletic performance. Through out the training period, specific attention is given to: • Sprint mechanics • Neuromuscular coordination • Anaerobic and aerobic conditioning • Muscle physiology
ATHLETICS FACILITIES

LMU Athletics’ Facilities
Building Champions T
he athletic facilities at Loyola Marymount University have seen a little of everything in the almost 70 years while in its current Westchester location. From the 1984 Olympic games to LMU basketball to the World Cup and everything in between, the LMU athletic facilities have become home to the best. The complex continues to grow and improve with each year. The facilities include Albert Gersten Pavilion, George Page Stadium, Sullivan Field, the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center, the Jane Bove Boathouse, Smith Field, the LMU Tennis Complex, which includes the George P. Kading and Morris A. Pivaroff Tournament Court completed in 2004, and the Thomas Higgins Short Game Center, a practice facility for the golf program. Also completed in 2004 was the addition of Pride Park, the new entrance to baseball’s Page Stadium The newest facility for the Lions is Smith Filed, complete with inset dugout, state-ofthe-art scoreboard, natural grass seating for more than 500 and batting cages. Completed at the same time was the short game center, a pitch and putt practice facility behind the centerfield fence of Smith Field. It includes a pair of bunkers and plenty of space for putting at different angles. The existing centerpiece to the LMU athletics facilities is Albert Gersten Pavilion, entering its 27th year as the home to LMU’s indoor athletic events. Hosting men’s and women’s basketball and
LMU Baseball
volleyball, the Pavilion has seen its share of memorable moments. One came as the men’s basketball team posted a 16-game winning streak that spanned three seasons from Feb. 25, 1987 through Nov. 28, 1988. On Feb. 20, 1988, during the winning streak, Gersten set the attendance record with a standing room only crowd of 4,525 in a 142-127 win over rival Pepperdine. Built to accommodate the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the Pavilion served as the host site for the weightlifting competition. It is named in honor of Albert Gersten, father of Albert Gersten, Jr., a 1974 LMU graduate. Now in its 25th season as the home of Lion baseball, George C. Page Stadium has established itself as one of college baseball’s most unique ball parks. The park continues to distinguish itself thanks to the recent addition of Pride Park. However, the biggest enhancement came in 2001 with the Mikos Blue Monster, a new wall in left field that contains a manual scoreboard, complete with out of town scores reminiscent to some of the major league’s classic parks. The wall was built thanks to a gift from Paul Mikos. The Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center opened in the fall of 2000 and has become the home of some of the best water polo in the NCAA. The Olympic size pool is part of the $18-million Burns Rec Center, and serves as the home venue for men’s and women’s water polo and women’s swimming. Showing that it is one of the finest facilities in the
42
country, LMU hosted the Men’s Water Polo NCAA National Championships in December of 2002 and again in 2006. Throughout the last decade, Sullivan Field has been host to some of the best in soccer from around the world. With the development of the soccer program at LMU, Sullivan Field has become one of the top facilities in the soccer-rich WCC. Sweden, Italy and Argentina used Sullivan during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and four years later, the field was used as a practice site for the World Cup exhibition Gold Cup Tournament. The LMU Tennis Center grew to six courts in 2004 with the Kading and Pivaroff Tournament Court, the centerpiece of the facility. A new Daktronics scoreboard was added to the facility in 2006. Completed in 2002, Jane Browne Bove Boathouse is the only athletics facility not on the grounds of the Westchester campus. The facility includes two boat bays, a work area, an office, a new dock and restrooms. The boathouse is part of beautiful Marina del Rey, Calif. Conditions are generally ideal. The water is protected within the marina, temperatures are nice throughout the year and boat traffic is low. More is on the horizon. In 2005, the Athletics Department was included as part of a major campaign that will ensure that LMU Athletics will Build Champions well into the future.

Lion Spirit
ORIGIN OF THE LION
Although its origin is somewhat clouded, the Lion mascot has been synonymous with Loyola Marymount University for more than 70 years. According to the Oct. 5, 1923 edition of the school newspaper, the Los Angeles Loyolan, the Lion mascot was suggested by an enthusiastic fan after 1919 when St. Vincent’s College became Loyola College. Noting the Loyola football player’s fierce competitiveness, that unknown fan described the Loyola players as Lions. The name did not generate too much popularity and the Loyola athletic nickname remained “Loyolan’s” until 1923. At that time, the article explains, the college wished to inspire new pride in its athletes and fans. Noting the success of nicknames for other colleges, the college opted to give the Lion’s nickname a rebirth. Calling the old Lion mascot “mistreated and forgotten,” the article explains that the Lion would officially find its way into all college songs and cheers. The Lion has remained firmly entrenched in Loyola lore to this very day. An alternative origin story traces the nickname to the abundance of actual mountain lions which roamed Westchester when Loyola College moved here in 1927. The area remained widely unpopulated and teemed with wildlife when the school moved atop the bluffs. School officials reportedly adopted the nickname because mountain lions inhabited the area when ground was broken.
LMU Baseball
PEP BAND
In what many consider its first appearance at any LMU athletic event, the LMU Pep Band broke onto the scene late in the 2001-02 season. Bringing energy and atmosphere to athletics events, the Pep Band is the latest addition to making LMU the best place to play and watch. Making up the 35-member band, with more members on the way, are LMU students from all backgrounds. The band is in its sixth year.
LionPride
This organization is the official student booster club of LMU athletics. Seen throughout the athletic season, LionPride has been a major reason for record student attendance the last several years. With more than 1,000 members this year, LionPride will be a factor at LMU events. Open to all students enrolled at LMU, LionPride offers free admission to all home regular season athletic events, opportunity to participate in ingame promotions, drawings for valuable prizes and much, much more, including the LionPride T-Shirt. In addition, LionPride makes its way to road games thanks to multiple road trips through out the year.
when the university was known as Loyola, the current cheer team has grown to a serviceoriented organization that not only appears and supports all 21 LMU athletic teams and events, but performs community service. The cheer squad has continued to impress with its overall ingame routines with advanced tumbling, stunt and dance performances. In addition to providing support to the teams during the games, the squad will once again perform halftime and timeout routines. This year’s squad includes Kristina Alarcon, Analee Almeida, Amanda Barthel, Alyse Chong, Heather Chong, Kristen Cirillo, Oscar Contreras, Ashley Cordes, Arianne Cortes, Lisa Green, Kim Hein, Penelope Horan, Caroline Jahna, Kendra Jones, Julia Karnoski, Tracie Kogura, Thomas Miller, Teresa Moore, and Amanda Veitia.

Rev. Robert B. Lawton
PRESIDENT
R
ev. Robert B. Lawton, S.J., was named the 14th president of Loyola Marymount University on June 1, 1999. Father Lawton leads LMU into the next millennium after serving as the dean of Georgetown College at Georgetown University since 1989. Lawton, a classicist, scripture scholar, administrator, and priest, was born in Cumberland, Maryland, and entered the Society of Jesus in July 1965. Possessing a wealth of experience in both university teaching and administration, Fr. Lawton comes to LMU after giving 20 years of service to Georgetown University. Serving as the assistant Dean from 1984-89, Fr. Lawton also taught in the Theology department as an adjunct assistant professor during that period. He started at the University in 1977 as an assistant professor of Theology and worked in that capacity until 1979. He earned his bachelor of arts degree in classics from Fordham University in 1971, graduating Phi Beta Kappa (summa cum laude). Fr. Lawton went on to attend Harvard University where he completed his doctorate in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations in 1977. Fr. Lawton was a Danforth and Woodrow Wilson Fellow at Harvard. He was ordained in 1981. Following his preparation for ordination from 1979-81, Fr. Lawton traveled to Germany to conduct independent study in both German and theology. In 1982, he accepted an assistant professorship teaching Hebrew and Aramaic at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, Italy, a post he held until 1984. In addition to his teaching and administrative duties at Georgetown, Fr. Lawton served on numerous campus committees examining such areas as campus planning, student life, freshman and transfer student admissions, and community relations. Outside of the University he has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Scranton and Fairfield University. Father Lawton holds the rank of professor in LMU’s Departments of Theological Studies and Classics.

r. William S. Husak begins his 10th year as the Athletics Director at Loyola Marymount University. Since taking over the program in 1998, LMU has reached a new level of success. While the Lions’ success has been some of the best in program history, Husak firmly believes the program has “just scratched the surface.” His administrative efforts have focused on developing a team of coaches, support staff and administrators who believe that LMU’s athletics program can be among the elite in the nation. This period of time has been marked by enhancing the support of the athletic teams through the new and updated facilities, increased scholarship and operational support and enhancing the coaching and support staff. The past 10 years have been some of the most successful seasons in school history as the Lions won over 56 percent of its dual competitions in that span and claimed the school’s first ever Commissioner’s Cup in 1996. Since 1998, LMU has claimed 22 conference championships and 29 NCAA postseason appearances. Off the field, the Lions have had a 50 percent increase in national scholar-athletes as 155 claimed the honor in the 2006-07 academic year. Husak attributes the current success and the future growth of the program to the staff that is in place. Since he took over the program, the coaching and administrative staffs that lend support to the more than 400 student-athletes has more than doubled in size. A full-time head coach will lead 19 of the varsity sports sponsored at LMU. When Husak took over, only nine of the programs were led by full-time coaches. In addition, support for the student-athletes was enhanced with the addition of eight brand new staff positions, which included an athletic academic coordinator, marketing/promotions manager, corporate relations manager, two assistant athletic trainers, a strength and conditioning assistant coach and an assistant media relations director. The final major piece to LMU Athletics’ growth and success has been Husak’s commitment to facilities. Since he has taken over, $25 million has been put into athletic facilities. That list includes the Burns Aquatics Center, which was used as host to the 2002 and 2006 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships. It has been the only time LMU has hosted an NCAA championship. Facility enhancements have also included the brand new Smith Field (softball), Thomas Higgins Short Game Center (golf), the Morris A. Pivaroff and George P. Kading Tournament Court (tennis), and the Jane Browne Bove Boathouse. LMU’s existing facilties have also seen their share of growth, including new bleachers and scoreboard to Sullivan Field (soccer), Mikos Blue Monster and Pride Park to Page Stadium (baseball), and a new sound system, floor design and bleachers in Gersten Pavilion. Husak comes from a long and accomplished background as an administrator, fundraiser and professor during a 19-year career at California State University, Long Beach. Between 1993-1998, he served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director and was mainly responsible for Athletics fundraising. While at CSULB between 1983 and 1997, Husak served as an assistant commissioner for the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). Between 1986 and 1993 he served as chairman of CSULB’s physical education department. As an associate professor of physical education at CSULB between 1979 and 1986, he established the university’s Motor Behavior Laboratory. A 1972 graduate of State University of New York (SUNY) at Cortland, Husak holds a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Physical Education from Texas A&M University. He and his wife of 36 years, Tish, live in Long Beach and have three sons, Greg, Todd and Jon.

COMPLIANCE
How do I know if I’m being recruited? You become a “prospective student-athlete” when you start ninth-grade classes. Before the ninth grade, you become a prospective student-athlete if a college gives you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the college does not provide to prospective students generally. You become a “recruited prospective student-athlete” at a particular college if any coach approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches that cause you to become a recruited prospective student-athlete are: (1) providing you with an official visit; (2) placing more than one telephone call to you or any other member of your family; or (3) visiting you or any other member of your family anywhere other than the college campus; or (4) issuing to you a National Letter of Intent or written offer of athletically related financial aid.

2007 WCC REVIEW
West Coast Conference baseball competition continues its long history in 2008, celebrating its 41st anniversary. After years of a two-division format, the league altered the format for the 2006 season. Each team now meets for one three-game series, with the top two teams advancing to the WCC Championship Series. The winner of the title series wins the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. LMU, Pepperdine, Saint Mary’s, Santa Clara, San Francisco, San Diego, Portland and Gonzaga comprise the baseball alignment. Gonzaga and Portland, long-time members in every other conference sport, joined the league in baseball in 1996 after migrating from the Pacific-10 North Division. Baseball was originally established as a conference sport in 1968. From 1977-84, WCC teams competed with teams from the Big West Conference in the Northern California Baseball Association (Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, and Santa Clara), and the Southern California Baseball Association (LMU, Pepperdine, and San Diego). The WCC sponsors championships in 13 sports for men and women: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s crew, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

RETIRED JERSEYS For the first time in the history of LMU Athletics, the jerseys of three former Lion baseball players were retired during the 2000 season. The three individuals: Jerry Stone (10), Billy Bean (44), and Tim Layana (54) not only distinguished themselves as some of the best athletes in the country, but also represented LMU with dignity and pride. A ceremony was held to officially retire the jerseys of these outstanding individuals. Their names, numbers and accomplishments will forever be etched into LMU history.
44 BILLY BEAN
10 JERRY STONE
44 BILLY BEAN One of the greatest hitters to ever grace the diamond at LMU, Billy Bean had his jersey retired on March 11, 2000, during pregame ceremonies prior to LMU’s game against USF. Bean was one of many great players who helped guide the Lions to the 1986 College World Series. A two-time first-team All-WCC and All-District-VIII pick, Bean earned honorable-mention All-America honors following his junior year by Collegiate Baseball. With an even greater performance his senior year, Bean was tabbed a second-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1986. Bean still holds the WCC record for single-season walks with 66. He also holds the LMU record in single-season runs scored with 84, a mark that ranks third in the WCC record book. Of the WCC’s nine all-time career offensive categories, Bean ranks in the top-10 in five of them. Following his standout LMU career, the Detroit Tigers selected him in the fourth round of the 1986 draft, and Bean went on to play for the Tigers in the majors from 1987-1989. He also spent time with Los Angeles (1989) and San Diego (1993-1995). Most recently, Bean was named to the WCC/Rawlings 40th Anniversary Team, recognizing him as one of the WCC’s all-time top-40 players.
54 TIM LAYANA One of the greatest pitchers in LMU history, Tim Layana had his jersey retired during pregame ceremonies prior to LMU’s game against San Francisco on March 11, 2000. Layana’s prowess helped guide the Lions to the College World Series in 1986. A first-team All-WCC pick as a senior, Layana was tabbed the conference Pitcher of the Year and earned first-team All-District VIII honors. Selected a second-team AllAmerican by the American Baseball Coaches Association following the 1986 campaign, Layana re-wrote many of the pitching records in LMU baseball history. He is the WCC record-holder in innings pitched, tallying 511.0 innings of work over his career. He also holds the LMU record for complete games (33), wins (35), and strikeouts (405). His 405 career strikeouts and 35 career wins rank second and fourth among WCC all-time leaders. After guiding the Lions to their second conference title and second NCAA Regional berth in 1986, Layana, who tragically passed away in an automobile accident on June 25, 1999, was drafted in the third round by the New York Yankees. Inducted into the LMU Athletic Hall of Fame, Layana played professionally with the Yankees, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. Although he did not appear on Cincinnati’s roster during its World Series sweep of the Oakland Athletics in 1990, Layana posted a record of 54 TIM LAYANA 5-3 that year with a 3.49 ERA. He also had two saves in 55 appearances. Layana totaled a 5-5 career record in the majors with two saves in 78 appearances. Most recently, Layana was named to the WCC/ Rawlings 40th Anniversary Team, recognizing him as one of the WCC’s all-time top-40 players.

RETIRED JERSEYS
10 JERRY STONE A three-year starter for the Lions, Jerry Stone played an integral role in guiding Loyola to its first conference baseball championship in 1973. One of the greatest catchers in school history, Stone had his jersey retired on March 11, 2000, prior to LMU’s game against USF. Stone, a first-team All-WCAC and All-District VIII pick his junior year, also earned first-team All-America accolades issued by Collegiate Baseball in 1973. The All-American tag was the first awarded in LMU baseball history. A switchhitter during the wooden bat era, Stone still ranks as an all-time top-10 statistical leader at LMU in single-season walks (45), while his 106 career walks rank fifth. He hit above .300 for each of his three seasons with the Lions and managed to maintain a perfect fielding percentage on 38 chances in 1973. In that same year, Stone led the WCAC in home runs (11) and RBI (45). One of Stone’s greatest accomplishments included leading the Lions to their first postseason appearance in school history, a berth in the NCAA District VIII playoffs in 1973. He was drafted in the fourth round by the San Diego Padres in 1973.
