2010 SEASON PREVIEW Returning for his third season at the helm of the men’s water polo program is head coach James Graham, who in his second season made his first trip to the MPSF Tournament after his team upset No. 6 Long Beach State in the Tigers’ final home game at Chris Kjeldsen Pool. With the departure of seniors Lorin Bartlett, Joey Rossi, Grant Hollis and David Andrus, Graham set out to acquire new talent that could replace an outgoing senior class that helped the Tigers reach the MPSF Tournament for the first time since the 2006 season. “Although it’s a great loss to see them go, we have players who are fully capable of stepping into their roles and maybe adding another dimension for us.” The 2010 incoming class features three international players who have a vast amount of playing experience at the international level. Junior transfer Daniel Lungu and freshman Alex Malkis hail from Israel, where both have experience playing for Israel’s senior national team. Malkis is currently the starting goalkeeper for Israel’s senior national team, while Lungu played for the senior squad from 2006-07 in addition to the junior national team from 2005-08. Freshman Balazs Erdelyi of Eger, Hungary is expected to make an immediate impact in the pool for the Tigers. Erdelyi is a three-time Hungarian Junior Championship winner from 2007-09, and has been a member of the Hungarian senior national team for the past two years. “We expect those three players to have huge impacts, with Alex Malkis in goal who should be one of the top goalies in the country as a freshman,” said Graham on his 2010 incoming class. “Balazs Erdelyi is going to be one of the biggest impact players in the MPSF right off the bat at both ends of the pool. Daniel Lungu is a tremendous offensive player for us and a left handed shooter. Although this year’s recruiting class

was smaller than last year, this recruiting class is just as talented if not more at the top end.” Graham expects seniors Joey Gullikson and Austin Delong to have tremendous seasons both offensively and defensively. This year the Tigers are expecting to be a more experienced team compared to last season’s squad. Last year’s incoming class has had a full year to play together and had a great off season which saw the addition of only three new players to the lineup. “We have the talent, experience at all positions and the depth to match other teams. We expect to have 12 field players who are prepared to play large minutes this year.” As with any season, Pacific’s expectations are to continue to make progress every season and to have a better season that the last. The 2010 Tigers aim to make the MPSF Tournament for the second year in a row, but with the goal of having a better showing at the tournament by winning the first round game. “This year I think the team is poised to have a great season with finally having the dangerous combination of experience and talent at all positions,” stated Graham on his 2010 squad. “That’s really what we were missing last year; the experience.” On the offensive front Graham will look to junior Lance Morrison at the center position and Erdelyi, Gullikson, Lungu and Tom Koning to lead Pacific’s scoring attack. Koning finished the 2009 season as Pacific’s leading scorer, tallying 50 goals in 31 games. Morrison and Gullikson scored 38 goals a piece to tie for second in goals on the team. Defensively the Tigers will be led by returning seniors Gullikson and Delong, with Gullikson transitioning from attacker to defender in his final season. During the 2009 season, Delong led the Tigers in steals (44) and assists (31). Pacific will also

look to junior Tyler Reardon and Malkis to anchor the Tiger defense. As a sophomore Reardon recorded 27 steals and 15 drawn ejections. Pacific also returns sophomore Goran Tomasevic, who is making the transition from defender to center. Tomasevic ended his freshman campaign earning the MSPF Newcomer of the Year Award in addition to earning All-America honors. Also looking to step up and make contributions this season are Todd Hazen, Jason Wensley, T.J Friedman and Balazs Szabo for the Tigers. 2010 SCHEDULE The 2010 schedule has Pacific facing off against 10 opponents who finished the 2009 season ranked in the Collegiate Water Polo Associations Top-20 National Poll. This season’s home schedule includes matchups against California, UC Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Pepperdine and UCLA, who lost to USC in the 2009 national championship game. Pacific kicks off the 2010 season traveling to the Triton Invitational, NorCal Tournament at California and the SoCal Tournament at UCLA. After spending three weekends on the road the Tigers will return to Chris Kjeldsen Pool to host UCLA on Oct. 10 in their first home game and MPSF conference matchup of the season. The Tigers begin action Sept. 4-5 at UC San Diego’s Triton Invitational in San Diego, Calif., at UC San Diego’s Canyonview Aquatic Center.

The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 academic year to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championship competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The MPSF was originally formed to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. In 2006-2007, the Federation celebrated its 15th year of competition and is affirmed that is more relevant today than at any other time since its inception. As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully ride the ever-changing wave of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its intercollegiate athletics portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its member institutions and conferences. Since its inception, MPSF teams have won 49 NCAA team championships and many individual titles as well. In 2010-2011, the MPSF will again provide competition in nine Olympic intercollegiate sports while serving over 1,500 student-athletes and approximately 75 head coaches from 32 universities in 12 western states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men’s volleyball. All MPSF champions are eligible to compete in NCAA Championships with MPSF men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, and men’s volleyball champions earning automatic qualification into NCAA championship events. In 2010-2011, five MPSF teams won NCAA championships to total 53 NCAA team titles since the Federation’s first season of competition in 1992-93. Almost a score of Federation teams and hundreds of student-athletes competed in NCAA post-season competition. CALIFORNIA started things off by winning their second-consecutive NCAA men’s water polo title last fall. ARIZONA STATE pulled off a double win with both the Sun Devils’ men’s and women’s indoor track and field teams taking NCAA crowns, after the women won both the MPSF and NCAA titles for the second year in a row. OKLAHOMA then won the NCAA men’s gymnastics title, also after taking the MPSF championship. This was the Sooners fifth NCAA crown in seven seasons and fourth-consecutive MPSF title with nine outright or co-conference titles in the past 10 seasons. UCLA capped the season by repeating as NCAA women’s water polo champions after winning the MPSF title, pulling off dual titles for the second year in a row. Other Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Champions for the 2007-2008 season include NEW MEXICO’s fourth-consecutive conference title in men’s soccer, the Lobos’ sixth in seven years; OREGON won it’s first-ever MPSF men’s indoor track and field championship while UC DAVIS added the Aggies’ first MPSF women’s gymnastics title. PEPPERDINE won its fourth MPSF men’s volleyball title before losing to Penn State in the NCAA final. Al Beaird has been the Federation’s only executive director, taking the reigns after being selected by the MPSF Administrative Committee in December 1997 after a national search. Beaird’s position was established as a result of the Federation’s continued growth and emerging tradition of NCAA and national championship caliber play, including 38 NCAA team championships during his tenure. Beaird, who formerly served on the athletics staff at his alma mater UC Davis, where the integration of student and athlete is a long-rooted philosophy, oversees the administration of all Federation sports, having worked closely with administrators and coaches from more than 40 different universities over the course of his administration. Beaird presided over the transition of the Federation from what was initially a scheduling alliance to what is now a nationally recognized NCAA Division I multi-sports conference. Beaird directs all aspects of MPSF competition, including championships, officiating, rules compliance, scheduling, media relations, broadcasting, sponsorships and NCAA relations, while also shaping conference legislation, facilitating annual meetings and providing direction and communication for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Administrative and Executive Committees. In 2004, Beaird completed a four-year term, three years as chair, on the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships Committee and one year as chair of the inaugural NCAA Men’s and Women’s Water Polo Rules Committee. Beaird feels privileged to work with coaches and student-athletes who compete at the highest levels, including many who compete on USA national teams as coaches or players in international and Olympic competition. With his high level of involvement in NCAA Olympic sports, Beaird is often called upon to serve as liaison to the national governing bodies for amateur athletics in the United States and the United States Olympic Committee. Beaird received his undergraduate degree in physical education from UC Davis in 1977 before attaining his Masters of Business Administration (Marketing emphasis) from California State University, Sacramento in 1993. Beaird, who lives in Woodland, California, has two daughters who are active in high school and club sports.

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.

First, Pacific recruits only student-athletes who it believes can succeed at the University and who have a sincere commitment to a higher education. Second, it provides outstanding support services to students. An integral resource of support is a faculty committed to helping students obtain an education and to graduate, and who often tutor student-athletes one-on-one. Pacific intercollegiate athletics has a comprehensive academic achievement program for its student-athletes, including counseling, tutoring, monitoring services, leadership and life skills training, computer resources, and a set of standards and procedures outlined in the student-athlete handbook. Supervised study periods are provided, and a system of grade checks is in place

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.

2010 Pacific Water Polo

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.

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. King previously served as director of intercollegiate athletics for University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh and assistant athletic director for facilities at the University of Northern Iowa, of which he is an alumnus. King began his career as head coach for men’s track and cross country, first at Rochester Community College and then at University of Northern Iowa, where he was also an instructor of health and physical education. While at Northern Iowa he coached 11 conference team champions, 25 All-Americans and two national champions. He was named regional or conference coach of the year 10 times and referee of the Drake Relays in 1984. King earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education.

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.
