Megan Thomson

Head Coach 5th Season • Hartwick ‘02

Megan Thomson enters her fifth season as the head coach of the Pacific women’s water polo team in 2011, after coaching the women’s team to its first regular season conference title in program history. During Pacific’s second season of action in the Big West Conference (BWC), Thomson led the Tigers to new program milestones, including most wins in a season (23) and single season saves by a goalkeeper (290). Under Thomson’s direction, Pacific secured the No. 1 seed at the conference tournament when the Tigers went undefeated in the final weekend of conference action at Chris Kjeldsen Pool. In a wild shootout, Pacific upset No. 10 Cal State Northridge, 8-7, in sudden death overtime on April 17 and followed up with a 13-9 win over UC Santa Barbara on April 18, 2010. Thomson also saw her first Tiger, Dara Tawarahara, receive All-American Honorable Mention Honors, while Brooke Millar, Jasmine Myles, Bridget Geck and Tawarahara were named to the Big West All-Conference Team. Thomson and the 2010 squad wrapped up the season with a 1-1 performance at the conference tournament for a third place finish. As a member of the newly formed BWC in 2009, Thomson and the Tigers finished the season with a 9-25 record while earning a victory over conference opponent UC Santa Barbara. In her first year with the team, during the 2007 season, Thomson

reshaped the Tigers with a young squad that featured seven freshmen and only one senior. She then led the Tigers to an overall record of 5-25, just one season after the team completed the 2006 season with a record of 0-22. In 2008, the Tigers finished with a 4-27 record, highlighted by a 10-9 victory over Colorado State on Mar. 16, 2008. Thomson was brought to Pacific after four seasons as an assistant coach at Hartwick College, where she helped lead her team to two appearances in the NCAA Championships. Megan guided the team to its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Championships at the final four hosted by Stanford in 2004. Two years later, Thomson and the Hawks returned to the NCAA Championships. Thomson played two years (200102) as the starting center at Hartwick College under former Pacific men’s water polo coach Mike Maroney. She led the Hawks to a 48-23 record, two Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division Championships, two CWPA New York Region Titles and one Eastern College Athletic Conference Championship (2002). She was named to the American Water Polo Coaches Association All-America Team after her junior and senior seasons, and was honored as the CWPA Northern Division Player of the Year in 2001 and 2002. In addition, Thomson was named to the AWPCA All-Academic Team in both of her seasons with the Hawks. A native of Wellington, New Zealand, Thomson finished her career with 234 points (182 goals, 52 assists) and 180 drawn ejections. She led the Hawks to a second-place finish at the 2002 CWPA Championships, losing, 7-6, to the University of Michigan in sudden-death overtime in the final. Hartwick would have advanced to the NCAA Championships (Final Four) that year, had they defeated the Wolverines in that contest. Hartwick College named Thomson its Female Athlete of the Year in 2001 and 2002. She was inducted into the College’s Athletic Hall of Fame on Oct. 12, 2002. Thomson played for the New Zealand National Team at the 2001 FINA World

Women’s Water Polo

Championships in Japan as she finished among the top 20 goal scorers in the championships. She was the captain of the New Zealand Development Team in 2000, and played on the New Zealand Under-20 National Team from 1996-99. She was also the co-captain of the New Zealand Senior Women’s team at the Commonwealth Game Championships in Perth, Australia in January 2006, finishing with a bronze medal. Thomson captained the national squad at the 2003 Olympic Qualification Series, and was a member of the national team that competed in the Olympic Qualification Tournament in Italy.

2010 Season Recap

2010 Big West Regular Season Co-Champions After a 2-3 showing at the NorCal Tournament in Berkeley, Calif., Pacific’s women’s water polo team came together as a squad and turned the 2010 season into a record breaking year. Pacific’s 33 contests included new records for conference wins and overall wins during a single season, and a 13-0 win streak over a six week period. Additionally Pacific saw a new Tiger claim the top spot in the All-Time Single Season Saves list. Entering the Roadrunner Invite, Pacific earned its first ranking in the Collegiate Water Polo Association’s (CWPA) Top-20 national poll since April 22, 2005. As the No. 16 team in the nation at the tournament, the Tigers went 3-1 against competition and outscored opponents 44-25. While the month of February proved to be an exciting time for the Tigers, the months of March and April had bigger things to come for Pacific. On March 6, 2010, at the Cal Lutheran Invite, the Tigers defeated Claremont-MuddScripps, 16-2, to tie the 2005 Tiger squad for most wins in a season with 11. The 2010 Tigers then went on to set a new program record for most wins in a season when Pacific defeated Wager, 14-11. With a 20-9 (2-1 Big West) record heading into the last four games of Big West action during the month of April, the Tigers found themselves in a position to claim their first Big West regular season title in program history.

Pacific’s final home stand of the 2010 season proved to be the Tigers’ best performances of the year. After upsetting No. 10 Cal State Northridge and No. 12 UC Santa Barbara to finish the regular season as Big West Co-Champions, Pacific’s women’s water polo team jumped four spots to No. 12 in the Collegiate Water Polo Association’s (CWPA) Top20 national poll, which marked Pacific’s highest ranking during the season and was also the highest ranking in program history. Pacific’s game against No. 10 Cal State Northridge on Saturday, April 17, was a wild shootout which had five tie scores and six lead changes. In the end, Pacific took down the Matadors, 8-7, in sudden death on a goal from junior Bridget Geck with 2:39 left on the clock in the first sudden death period. During the game freshman Brooke Millar set a new single season saves record. At the 4:34 point in the third quarter, Millar’s fifth save of the contest gave her 254 saves on the season to tie former Tiger Julie Ross. Millar then moved to the top of Pacific’s All-Time Single Season Saves list with 1:22 remaining on the clock when she blocked a shot from the Matadors’ Kristin McLaughlin. On Sunday, April 18, the Tigers needed a win over No. 12 UC Santa Barbara to claim the Tigers’ first Big West regular season title in program history. In the contest, Geck

and Dara Tawarahara notched three goals apiece to help the Tigers defeat the Gauchos 13-9, and end the regular season as Big West Co-Champions with Cal State Northridge. The Tigers then entered the 2010 Big West Tournament as the No. 1 seed and faced off against the No. 4 seed UC Davis Aggies. Pacific concluded the tournament with a 1-1 record for a third place finish. At the tournament, the Tigers dropped a 10-7 decision to UC Davis in the semifinals; however they rebounded with a 7-5 win over UC Santa Barbara in the third place game.

Chris Kjeldsen Pool

The Chris Kjeldsen pool complex has served the University of the Pacific and Stockton communities well for 25 years. In 1995-96, under the direction of former athletic director Bob Lee, the athletic department raised funds to make the swimming program and facilities at Pacific among the very best in the country, with completion of the Pacific Aquatics Center. The addition of the Pacific Aquatics Center to the Kjeldsen Swimming Complex cost an estimated $400,000. It is located on the east side of the pool complex and contains 4,000 square feet of space. Hot showers and locker rooms are available to serve recreational and competitive swimmers from the campus and local community, and office space houses coaches and lifeguards for the program. Meeting areas for athletic and social events are also found there. Ample storage space is available to protect swimming pool equipment from the effects of weather. The facility provides a safer entry to the pool for physically challenged swimmers; in addition, it allows control of access for optimum supervision of the pool area. The pool and the pool deck underwent a renovation in 2008 as the pool was resurfaced with new siding to make it one of the faster pools in the Big West Conference. The Chris Kjeldsen Swimming Complex is located on Larry Heller Drive at the southeast corner of Amos Alonzo Stagg Memorial Stadium, home to the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team. Directly across the street is the Alex G. Spanos Center, which hosts the Tiger volleyball and basketball teams; also nearby is the home field for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball, Bill Simoni Field.

THE UNIVERSITY

Pamela A. Eibeck University President

Pamela A. Eibeck became the 24th President of University of the Pacific on July 1, 2009. She is Pacific’s sixth President since the University moved to Stockton in 1924 and the first woman to hold the office. Her Presidency follows a distinguished career as a researcher, teacher, educational reformer, and university administrator. Prior to joining Pacific, Eibeck was dean of the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering at Texas Tech—one of the nation’s largest engineering colleges with 4,400 students, 156 faculty and five research centers. There, she was responsible for eight academic departments, 33 degree programs and a $55 million budget. An active fundraiser, Eibeck helped build an endowment of $57 million and doubled the number of endowed chairs. Eibeck takes the helm at a University with strong enrollments and finances, and the best incoming student academic profile in its history. With a record number of applications for Fall 2009, university enrollment is expected to remain steady at around 6,250 with a 20-point jump in the average admitted freshmen SAT score to 1200. Construction continues on two major buildings: the $7.5 million Janssen-Lagorio Multipurpose Gymnasium and the $10 million John T. Chambers Technology Center, and the last fiscal year closed with a surplus for the 13th consecutive year. While spending time to get know Pacific in her first year, Eibeck has committed to building on these strengths by continuing to enhance educational quality, build national visibility, and deepen the University’s involvement in community engagement. Eibeck received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in mechanical engineering between 1979 and 1986 from Stanford University. She joined the faculty at the University of California at Berkeley, where she earned tenure and served from 1985 to 1995. In 1995, she became a professor and chair of mechanical engineering at Northern Arizona University, where she later served as director of the honors program and then vice provost for undergraduate studies. In 2004, Eibeck was named dean of the college of engineering at Texas Tech. An expert in heat transfer, Eibeck conducted experimental research related to electronics cooling and thermal tiles used by NASA on the space shuttles. Her later work focused on engineering educational reform, including early use of multimedia in the classroom, curriculum development and, most recently, ways to attract young people and women to the profession. She has authored or co-authored nearly 50 articles and papers. Eibeck became a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2008. She received the Distinguished Engineering Educator Award from the Society of Women Engineers in 1996 and the Boeing Outstanding Educator Award in 1999. Eibeck is married to William D. Jeffery, a law professor and a native of California. They have four children. Sons Andrew and Kevin live in the Bay Area. Daughter Katherine attends the University of Southern California. Their youngest son, Will, attends Santa Clara University.

Founded in 1851 as the first chartered university in California, University of the Pacific continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the finest academic institutions in the West. The main Stockton campus, with its expansive lawns and brick-and-ivy architecture, much like many renowned universities in the East, is highly regarded as one of the most picturesque college campuses in the West. The only private school in the Big West Conference, Pacific offers a diversity of programs that would normally be associated with a much larger university. Personal attention and small class sizes have become Pacific trademarks and help attract students from many U.S. states and foreign countries. Pacific provides its 6,235 scholars a student-to-faculty ratio of less than 13-to-1. Pacific is comprised of 11 schools and colleges on three campuses, offering students the distinctive advantage of nearby resources. Two professional schools complement the Stockton campus: the School of Dentistry in San Francisco and the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. The Stockton campus features the central liberal arts division, College of the Pacific and schools of music, engineering, education, pharmacy, business & public administration, international studies, the Graduate School and University College. Pacific students are represented on many policy-making committees, and the Associated Students (ASUOP) play an active role in campus life through social and cultural programs. The Stockton metropolitan area, with a population of over 280,000, is nestled conveniently in the San Joaquin Valley between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Pacific offers its students a proximity to many exciting places including Monterey/Carmel, Lake Tahoe, the northern California wine country, and Yosemite National Park. It is adjacent to over 1,000 miles of waterways, making it the largest inland seaport in the state. THE PACIFIC EXPERIENCE • Over 80 major fields from which to choose, yet an average class size of under 20, even in the freshman year. • NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics as well as numerous club and intramural sports. • Exposure to a wide range of knowledge through the General Education program, and hundreds of opportunities for gaining “handson” experience in a chosen field. • A strong liberal arts tradition within key academic units including business, conservatory, education, engineering, international studies, and pharmacy.

• An intercultural perspective that prepares students for working in an increasingly diverse and international society. • Students sit on many decision-making committees of the University to ensure that the voice of the students is heard. • A New England-like campus in northern California. • With more than 6,000 students enrolled, Pacific is one of the smallest universities to be ranked among the top 100 national universities, both by US News & World Report and the The Washington Monthly College Guide.

PACIFIC’S MISSION The University of the Pacific's mission is to provide a superior, student-centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities. The first chartered institution of higher education in the State of California, the University of the Pacific is a mid-sized independent, comprehensive university offering a wide choice of high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs in Stockton, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Pacific is an outstanding blend of the advantages of the diverse programs of a major university and the broad, highly personalized learning of the selective liberal arts college. We accomplish our mission through highly personalized programs delivered in a caring, supportive, and attractive environment. We seek to develop and strengthen self-confidence, initiative, analytical and problem-solving abilities, and an enthusiasm for learning. Central to our mission is the dedication of our faculty and staff to excellence in teaching and advising. We encourage and support research, scholarship and creative activity as complements to our fundamental mission of teaching. Our mission dictates a commitment to leadership development, global awareness, community involvement and opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are committed to providing practical experiences to complement classroom learning. Highly interactive student-faculty relations and a broad array of co-curricular activities that help to develop students' abilities are hallmarks of learning at the University of the Pacific. How old is Pacific? We became California’s first chartered institution of higher education in 1851. We were also the first co-ed university (the first graduating class had five men and five women). We celebrated our sesquicentennial year in 2001. What type of university is Pacific? Pacific is a comprehensive university with three campuses and eleven schools and colleges. Eight of our schools and colleges provide undergraduate education on the Stockton campus, including a college of liberal arts and sciences (College of the Pacific), six professional schools and an adult re-entry division. The Stockton campus also has a graduate school. The other two campuses are the Pacific McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento and the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.

Is Pacific a religious or church-related university? No. Pacific was founded by and is affiliated with the Methodist Church. We do have a chapel, a full-time chaplain, a number of religious-oriented clubs, and a Department of Religious Studies, but we are not a “religious” university where students are required to attend chapel or to take religion classes. Any or all of the above are available to students who are interested, but participation in such activities is completely voluntary. Is Pacific accredited? Pacific is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and many academic programs have additional accreditation by appropriate professional organizations.

Faculty and counseling resources help keep student-athletes at Pacific on track to graduate in four years. Located in the heart of the Pacific Intercollegiate Athletics Center, the Pacific Student-Athlete Resource Center, includes state-of-the-art computer facilities and is used exclusively by student-athletes. A special opportunity exists for student-athlete participation at Pacific with the Pacific Student-Athlete Council. The council is comprised of elected student-athlete representatives from each Division I team. The council sponsors a variety of activities throughout the year for Pacific studentathletes and youth in the community. To be a student-athlete at University of the Pacific is truly a unique experience. One can compete athletically at the NCAA Division I level with the best in the nation and, at the same time, have an outstanding educational experience with a dedicated faculty. University of the Pacific ... the best of both worlds!

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TONY SANDOVAL Director of Athletic Performance Tony Sandoval joined Pacific in April of 2007 as the assistant director before being promoted to the Director of Athletic Performance in October of 2007. He most recently served as an assistant director of strength and conditioning at Sacramento State from January 2005 through the spring of 2007. Sandoval also earned his master’s degree in sports performance in 2006 at Sacramento State. While working at Sacramento State, Sandoval also worked with UCLA on a mentorship program that allowed him to travel to Los Angeles, Calif., approximately once a month to work with Bruin athletics. Sandoval earned his bachelor’s degree from Cal State San Bernardino in December of 2004 in exercise science. During his undergraduate studies, Sandoval also served as the boxing coach and the boxing strength and conditioning coach for the city of Chino, Calif.

Strength and conditioning is an integral part of any student-athlete’s life. At Pacific, new facilities combined with a dedicated staff work toward success on the playing field for Tiger student-athletes. “Strength and conditioning are critical to maximal athletic performance,” Pacific Athletic Director Lynn King said. “The University of the Pacific is proud of its Athletic Performance Center and staffing to assist our student-athletes in this vital part of their training and development.” The multi-purpose weight training and fitness facility within the Pacific Intercollegiate Athletics Center is 4,000 square feet and includes 10 Olympic platforms, 10 racks, five bench presses, five adjustable inclines, two full racks of dumbbells, over 50 medicine balls, 35 Swiss balls, six adjustable plyometric boxes and was completed in July of 1998. The newest addition to the athletic performance facilities is a 2,000 square foot conditioning room with plyometric flooring and 20 Schwinn Spin Bikes. “The Athletic Performance staff works hand-in-hand with sport coaches to assure the student-athlete develops physical strength, endurance and agility,” King said. “This training serves as a basis for the work ethic required to reach one’s full potential.”

MARCUS DORIN Asst. Director of Athletic Performance Marcus Dorin joined the Athletic Performance staff in January 2008 as the Assistant Director of Athletic Performance and is responsible for the year-round training for nine of Pacific’s athletic teams. Before coming to Pacific, Dorin spent the previous two years as the strength and conditioning coach of Butte College’s (Chico, Calif.) football, baseball, men’s basketball and softball teams. Prior to working at Butte College Dorin served as a spring training strength and conditioning intern for the Texas Rangers. Coach Dorin served as the strength and conditioning coach for seven of Chico State University’s athletic teams while he completed his master’s degree in kinesiology. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Chico State University.

ATHLETIC TRAINING Medical care of Pacific student-athletes begins with its athletic training staff and a fully operational Athletic Training Center. The center features the latest in injury prevention, rehabilitation, clinical diagnosis and educational research. The athletic training room is operated and staffed by the odirector of athletic training Chris Pond and assistant directors of athletic training Andy Gepford and Annette Martinez. Pond, Gepford and Martinez are certified athletic trainers by the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA) and oversee treatment and medical attention given to all of Pacific’s intercollegiate sports. In his 20th year at Pacific, Pond is a 1988 graduate of Utah State, and spent two years at Arizona before arriving in Stockton. The athletic training room is also the training laboratory of Pacific’s athletic training undergraduate studies program. Pacific offers athletic training as a field of study within the University’s Department of Sport Sciences. Approximately 15 students participate annually in Pacific’s student-athlete training program. The academic needs of athletic training students are supervised by Jodi Baker (ATC), director of Pacific’s Athletic Training Education Program.

ADMINISTATION DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

LYNN KING

Lynn King is in his 11th year as director of athletics for University of the Pacific. He began his tenure in March 2000. During his time at Pacific, King has seen the Tigers claim 18 Big West Conference team titles. Pacific has also made 28 NCAA Championship appearances under King’s guidance. In King’s first year at Pacific, the Tigers ranked first among NCAA Division I-AAA schools in the national Sears Directors Cup standings in 2000-01, surpassing all 78 other non-football Division I universities. The Tigers have also excelled in the classroom since King’s arrival, boasting six CoSida Academic All-Americans and 37 CoSida Academic All-District Team athletes since 2000-01. In 2002-03 alone, four Pacific teams were recognized with national team academic awards “Lynn King has provided our athletic department with tremendous leadership and direction. Pacific Athletics have reached new levels of success both athletically and academically,” said former President Donald V. DeRosa. King is currently leading Pacific on a campaign to build two new facilities (a multipurpose gymnasium [the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium] for athletics and recreation and a tennis clubhouse), expand the Alex G. Spanos Center to include an athletics Hall of Fame and substantially increase the athletics endowment. This campaign is already well underway as construction of Klein Family Field and renovations to Chris Kjeldsen Pool have been completed. In addition, construction of the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium is scheduled for completion at the beginning of the 2009-10 academic year. Before coming to Pacific, King chaired the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s track and field subcommittee from 1995 to 1999 and served as Drake’s director of intercollegiate athletics since 1990. Under the leadership of King, Drake’s Bulldog Scholarship Fund grew in both record numbers and money pledged in support of Drake athletics. Among his accomplishments at Drake, King played a major role in raising $12.5 million for design and construction of the 7,000-seat Knapp Multi Purpose Center. King also spearheaded successful efforts that enabled Drake’s athletics program to be officially certified by the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification in the spring of 1998. The certification followed the committee’s review of Drake’s athletics program self-study and review of a report by a peerreview team that visited the campus in November of 1997.
