MEDIA GUIDE

Small town. Big school. UC Davis is ranked 16th among public universities nationwide by the National Research Council, is listed 11th among public universities nationwide by U.S. News & World Report; and is 10th in research funding among all U.S. ranked public universities by the National Science Foundation. The campus is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, one of just 62 institutions of higher learning to be admitted to this distinguished group. Founded in 1908 as the University Farm amid the fertile fields of the state’s Central Valley, UC Davis embarks on a centennial celebration during the 2008-09 academic year. The campus encompasses the colleges of Letters and Science, Engineering, Biological Sciences, and Agricultural and Environmental Sciences; and professional schools in Law, Management, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, and Education. It also operates the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, one of the leading teaching and research hospitals in the nation. In 2007, the campus announced a $100 million in founding support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to launch the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. This is a period of growth and change for UC Davis. The campus has seen growth in student, faculty and staff populations and is in the midst of more than $1 billion in new construction. New facilities do or will include new laboratories, new classrooms and new student sports and recreation facilities. Thanks to the generosity of one of the world’s most renowned winemakers,

groundbreaking took place in 2005 on the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science.  The Robert and Margrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts opened in 2002 and is a showcase part of the campus. UC Davis has enjoyed a distinguished history in athletics as it continues a new era in NCAA Division I. The Aggies are official members in most sports in the Big West Conference which includes fellow UC campuses Irvine, Riverside and Santa Barbara. The transition to Division I brought to an end a successful Division II era in which UC Davis captured six Directors’ Cups in eight years, awarded annually to the most successful athletics program in the country. UC Davis also twice received recognition from Sports Illustrated for Women as the top Div. II school for women while Sports Illustrated has also previously honored the institution. In addition to 26 varsity sports (14 for women and 12 for men), the campus offers nearly 40 student-organized club sports. Women's field hockey will become the 27th varsity sport when it begins competition in 2009. And each year, more than 19,000 students participate in intramural sports. All students can enjoy abundant on- and off-campus recreational facilities for tennis, softball, basketball, volleyball and golf. Given the area’s Mediterranean climate, outdoor recreation continues year round. The program is also among the nation’s leaders in NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients and has had three winners of the prestigious NCAA Woman of the Year Award, tied for the most among all schools in the country.

Coaching Staff

STEVE DOTEN Head Coach 10th Year California ’90

Steve Doten enters his 10th season at the helm of the UC Davis men’s water polo program. He enjoyed his best season to date in 2007, when his team won a school-record 22 games, went undefeated against members of the Western Water Polo Association, then advanced to the title game of the conference tournament. For his part, Doten was selected as WWPA Coach of the Year. During that season, UC Davis climbed as high as No. 8 in the national poll, finishing at No. 11. The previous year, the Aggies ascended to No. 6 in the collegiate rankings -- the highest in Doten’s career. The team posted six wins over top-10 programs during that season. Additionally, his student-athletes have enjoyed a parade of accolades during recent seasons. In 2007, David Welch, Nick Arrigo and Mike McGee each earned ACWPC All-America honorable mention and claimed spots on the All-WWPA squad. McGee and Arrigo added third-team All-America honors in 2008. On October 5, 2007, UC Davis defeated 15th-ranked Pacific by a final of 8-4, marking Doten’s 100th career victory. He enters the upcoming season with a career mark of 123-112 overall, including a 76-33 conference ledger. Doten’s teams also have enjoyed tremendous success in the classroom. The Aggies’ composite grade-point average has risen each year since his arrival. In 2006-07, Doten’s squad was a co-winner of the athletics department’s Lysle Leach Award for sporting the highest overall team GPA. Four made the ACWPC All-Academic squad, including the inclusion of Welch in the Outstanding category. Welch also added ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District second-team honors. UC Davis men’s water polo repeated as co-recipient of the Lysle Leach Award in 2008 and was one of just five teams nationwide to amass a cumulative GPA of better than 3.0 during the 2007-08 academic year. Furthermore, a total of 10 Aggies captured ACWPC All-Academic awards.

Other key seasons in Doten’s UC Davis career include the 2002 campaign, in which the Aggies tied the school record with 19 wins. That team also posted 15 wins in the WWPA, the highest mark since 1990. In 2001, his first season at UC Davis, Doten was named the NCAA Division II Coach of the Year. He also guided two players, Travis Engelman and Tim Rogers, to first-team All-American status. In addition to his duties at UC Davis, Doten started the Davis Water Polo Club men’s open team in the summer of 2001, for which he serves as head coach. In 2003, both his junior and senior teams qualified for the USA Water Polo National Championships for the first time. In 2005, Doten brought the national tournament to Schaal Aquatics Center, where is 20-and-under team won the bronze medal. In 2008, Doten’s senior national team placed eighth, its highest-ever finish. In 2004 and 2007, Doten was selected as Elite Coach of the Year for the Central California Zone by the USAWP Coaches Committee. Additionally, Doten served as president of the WWPA from 2003 to 2006. Then in 2009, he was chosen for the staff at the USA Water Polo Holiday Camp, an annual event for the Olympic Development Program (ODP). Prior to UC Davis, Doten was an assistant coach with the Cal women’s water polo team from 1995-99. During this time, the Golden Bears finished second at the Collegiate Water Polo National Championships in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Doten also served as a coach for the Golden Bear Water Polo Club team. He helped lead the team to two USWP national championships in 1998 and 1999. As a player, Doten spent three seasons (1986-88) under legendary coaches Pete Cutino and Steve Heaston, helping Cal to a 91-14 record during that time and NCAA championships in 1987 and 1988. The Golden Bears were national runners-up in 1986. Doten, who graduated from UC Berkeley in 1990 with a degree in sports sociology, earned his master’s in kinesiology and physical education in 1994 and completed course work for his Ph.D. in education in 2000. He and his wife, Lisa, have three children - daughters Kendall and Brooke, and son Trey. The family resides in Davis. All three children play for the Davis Water Polo Club. WAYNE TILCOCK

She is involved in aspects of the programs. Originally from Armijo High in Fairfield, Calif., Waldthaler earned JC All-America honors and a conference MVP nod for nearby Sierra College before embarking on her two-year career in Bloomington. As a senior, she led the Hoosiers with 55 goals, 55 drawn exclusions, five four-meter penalty shots and nine hat tricks to capture AWPCA (now ACWPC) All-America third-team distinction. While at IU, Waldthaler retained her ties with Northern California, serving as a coach at Sierra Water Polo Club in 2004 then with Davis WPC in 2005. She served at the helm of the girls’ 12-and-under squad, solidifying her ties with Aggie mentors Steve Doten and Jamey Wright.

She received her M.S. in applied sports science in 2009. Waldthaler had also excelled as an IU undergrad, earning AWPCA All-Academic Superior accolades both years before graduating with her degree in exercise science.

Aggie Coaching History UC Davis men’s water polo fielded its first team in 1946, using what later became known as Hickey Pool as its home venue. The Aggies enjoyed success in the 1950s as a member of the Northern California Water Polo League’s ‘B’ Division. In 1963, the Far Western Conference added water polo as one of its fall sports. The Aggies won 16 of the next 19 titles, all under the guidance of Jerry Hinsdale. Coach

Scholarly Pursuits UC Davis men’s water polo continues to showcase its talent in the classroom as well as the competition pool, with seven studentathletes earning All-Academic honors from either the ACWPC or the conference. Perhaps more significantly, the Aggie team earned an NCAA Public Recognition award for Academic Progress Rate (APR) success. The NCAA bestows this distinction on teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their multi-year APRs. The ACWPC awards three levels: Outstanding (3.71-4.00), Superior (3.41-3.70) and Excellent (3.20-3.40). The WWPA has no such designation, but requires that the honoree ranks in his team’s top 10 in minutes played.

SCHAAL AQUATICS CENTER On April 21, 1998, former Aggie swimmer Rand Schaal and his father Ted made a $1.4 million donation to the university, $1 million of which was earmarked toward the construction of a new aquatics facility. That contribution, the largest in the history of the intercollegiate athletics department, helped spur the 1999 Facilities And Campus Enhancement (F.A.C.E.) Initiative, which funded the remainder of the aquatics center as well as other campus venues. The complex features an all-deep 65-meter by 25-yard pool with a depth ranging from seven feet to 14 feet (for diving purposes), men’s and women’s locker rooms, four team rooms, training facilities, office space and a fixed-seating capacity for approximately 500. The Schaal Aquatics Center opened its doors during the 200304 season, serving UC Davis swimming and diving, and the Aggie men’s and women’s water polo programs. In its short lifetime, it has already hosted several championship events, including both the men’s and women’s WWPA Championships in 2004-05 and the 2005 USWP Men’s National Championships. The facility also serves as a home course for local club aquatics programs. In May of 2006, Schaal Aquatics Center served as the host for the eight-team National Collegiate Women’s Water Polo Championship (shown below). The event marked the first time an NCAA final was held on the UC Davis campus since the Division II men’s gymnastics championships took place at Recreation Hall.

ACADEMICS

UC Davis comprises three colleges (Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Letters & Science), five professional schools (Education, Law, Management, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine) plus the Division of Biological Sciences. With 103 undergraduate majors and 80 graduate programs, the university offers the most expansive and diverse range of academics among any of the University of California campuses. Additionally, students also have the opportunity to combine majors or customize their field of study by creating an individual major. For those interested in graduate degrees – whether it be a master’s degree or a doctorate – UC Davis offers advising services to help students craft their education toward those goals. An estimated 86 percent of UC Davis students applying to graduate schools earn acceptance to either their first or second choices.

COMMUNITY

With a population of approximately 60 thousand, Davis is widely known for being a safe, active and socially innovative community. The downtown area boasts a multitude of specialty shops, restaurants, theaters and art galleries; while the city’s numerous parks offer recreational opportunities for active students.

ACTIVITIES

On campus, UC Davis students can rally around the highly successful athletics department by joining the Aggie Pack spirit organization, or enjoy a first-class performance at the Robert & Magrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.

The university also offers hundreds of student clubs and organizations, including cultural clubs, fraternities and sororities, faith-based organizations and the Associated Students of UC Davis student government. For the active Aggie, students may participate in the diverse intramural sports program or join one of the 30-plus sports clubs. In 2004, the Activities & Recreation Center (ARC) opened its doors, providing the campus with its own state-of-the-art fitness venue. In April, UC Davis hosts Picnic Day, an annual student-run open house. The popular event showcases all that the campus has to offer, attracting students, staff, faculty, parents, alumni and members of the surrounding communities.

GETTING AROUND

Nestled just southwest of Sacramento, the city of Davis rests just 15 minutes from an international airport, and contains a downtown station serviced by Greyhound and Amtrak. Centrally located in the Sacramento Valley, the town sits equally close to both the finest ski resorts and the Pacific Ocean’s top beaches. Within Davis and its neighboring towns, both Yolobus and the student-operated Unitrans bus systems offer free transportation to registered undergraduates. The town boasts more bicycles per capita than any other city in the nation. More than 50 miles of bike paths make the entire town conducive to both riders and pedestrians.

UC DAVIS ATHLETICS GREG WARZECKA

Director of Athletics

On August 1, 1995, Greg Warzecka became the 11th director of athletics at UC Davis. In the decade-plus since, the Aggie athletics program has enjoyed unprecedented success under his guidance. Warzecka’s penchant for progress began from his first year as director when he was charged with the task of fully engaging the campus in dicussions regarding whether or not UC Davis would offer athletics-related financial aid. One year later, the campus announced the launch of its first-ever grant-in-aid program. Warzecka has also overseen UC Davis’ transition into two conferences in his short tenure. In 1998, the Aggies moved from the now-defunct Northern California Athletic Conference to the powerful California Collegiate Athletic Association. Then in 2003, the UC Davis program announced that it would join the Big West Conference and thus reclassify from NCAA Division II to Division I status. Under Warzecka’s guidance, the Aggie athletics program increased its grant-inaid allocation nearly tenfold to approximately $5 million. During this period, he also engineered a substantial upgrade in athletics facilities, most notably the Schaal Aquatics Center (2004), the Marya Welch Tennis Center (2005) and the multi-use Aggie Stadium (2007).

NONA RICHARDSON

Senior Associate Director of Athletics/Senior Woman Administator

Nona Richardson was named Senior Associate Athletics Director at UC Davis in March 2007. She brings extensive experience to her role at UC Davis which includes overseeing compliance, student services and sports medicine programs, as well as sport supervision. Richardson has experienced intercollegiate athletics from a variety of roles, most recently during her tenure at Ball State, where she served as the senior woman administrator. There she oversaw daily operations for sports medicine, and strength and conditioning while also supervising seven sports, including women’s basketball and women’s volleyball.Her contributions at Ball State also included studentathlete services, community outreach programming, career development education, student-athlete awards, and other related areas while also serving as a Title IX and gender equity resource. Prior to Ball State, Richardson was Associate Director of Athletics and SWA at Valparaiso University for seven years, where she served in similar capacities while also serving as Compliance Coordinator for the 18-sport athletics program. Her duties also involved student-athlete eligibility, event management and other key administrative responsibilities. Richardson has served on numerous committees throughout her distinguished career, including the NCAA

During Warzecka’s tenure, UC Davis captured six NACDA Division II Directors’ Cups as the most outstanding overall program in the country. For his part, NACDA selected Warzecka as its A.D. of the year for the D-II West Region in 2001-02. Furthermore, the editors of Sports Illustrated magazine lauded the Aggie program on three different occasions. In 1999 and 2000, Sports Illustrated For Women named UC Davis as the top Division II school for women athletics. One year later, SI selected UC Davis as its top D-II school for the 2001-02 year. Before turning to administration, Warzecka had been a successful baseball coach, first as an assistant at his alma mater, California. He then served as head coach at San Francisco State, then at the University of Chicago, where he also served his first post as men’s athletics director. Warzecka returned to California in 1989 to become the A.D. at the University of Redlands, where he remained until he joined the Aggie athletics staff.

ACTIVITIES & RECREATION CENTER

THE PAVILION

HICKEY GYMNASTICS CENTER

The Pavilion, formerly known as Recreation Hall, serves as home court for UC Davis basketball, volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics, as well as concerts and special events. With a seating capacity of nearly 8,000, the Pavilion ranks as one of the largest on-campus arenas in Northern California.

The former Lower Hickey Gym, the first home of women’s athletics in the post-Title IX era, was converted to a first-class practice facility for the Aggie gymnastics team in 2005.

LA RUE FIELD Recognized in 1999 as “Softball Field of the Year” by the Sports Turf Managers Association, La Rue Field hosted five NCAA West Region Softball Championships in the past decade. Recent additions include batting cages, covered dugouts and improved press areas.

SCHAAL AQUATICS CENTER The Ted & Rand Schaal Aquatics Center hosted its first event in January of 2004. The complex features an Olympic-sized pool, locker rooms, team rooms, office space and permanent seating for approximately 500 spectators. The aquatics center will allow UC Davis to host championship events, including the 2006 NCAA Women’s Water Polo Championships.

AGGIE SOCCER STADIUM

Both Aggie Stadium (left), the home of soccer, and the James & Ann Dobbins Baseball Complex (below) were the result of volunteer efforts dating back to the mid-1980s.

TOOMEY FIELD & WOODY WILSON TRACK Built in the late 1940s, Toomey Field has hosted numerous championship events for football, track & field and lacrosse. During the 2000 Olympic Trials, standouts Marion Jones and Michael Johnson used the Woody Wilson Track as a practice facility.

Dobbins boasts one of the finest playing surfaces in Northern California. In 2002, the stadium was enhanced to include a press box, a renovated entrance and permanent concession/restroom facilities.

DOBBINS BASEBALL COMPLEX

MARYA WELCH TENNIS CENTER Dedicated in April 2005, the Marya Welch Tennis Center represents an expansion of the former Hickey Tennis Courts. Recent additions include grandstands and canopied benches for the north courts.

AGGIE STADIUM

TOOMEY WEIGHT ROOM UC Davis student-athletes welcomed the expanded weight room, located inside Toomey Field. In addition to nearly tripling in size the previous facility, the upgrade also included all new equipment, restrooms and office space.

Aggie Stadium serves as the home facility for the football, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field hockey teams. The multiuse venue features an all-weather Sportexe playing surface, a first-class press box, full locker rooms, restrooms and concessions. The initial design has seating for 11,000 to 15,000 spectators, with an eventual build-out to as many as 30,000.

Michelle Roppeau Director of Athletic Academic Advising

UC Davis ranks among the leaders in NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Awards and Academic AllDistrict/America honorees, and has claimed a record three winners of the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Student-Athlete Academic Services deserves much of the credit for these accomplishments. The office started in 1988 with a single staff member serving as a centralized resource for academic advising, eligiblity information and campus referrals. The office has since expanded to include additional academic advisors, an athletic aid coordinator, an assistant eligibility coordinator and an administrative assistant. It is headed by Nona Richardson, senior associate director of athletics. The Student-Athlete Academic Services office provides a range of services to student-athletes on all 26 intercollegiate athletics teams, including assistance with course and major selection as well as interpretation and clarification of eligibility rules and issues.

UC Davis student-athletes typically have a minimum of three academic advisors: an athletic academic advisor assigned by sport, a college advisor, and a major advisor (if the student has a declared major). Although appointments with the athletic academic advisors are not mandatory at UC Davis, student-athletes might choose to see their athletic academic advisor for issues including: • General education (GE) requirements • Dropping/adding courses • Time management/study skills • Assistance completing the mandatory Academic Plan Form • Study hall for student-athletes • Personal issues that affect academic performance • Choosing a major/career • Declaring or changing a major • Exploration of opportunities beyond athletics • Preparation for graduate programs • Preparation and application for NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and other national awards
