COACHING STAFF Eric Steidlmayer Head Coach

12th Season at UC San Diego

BYU-Hawaii in the West Regional by a 5-0 score. In the round of 16, the Tritons were edged by Drury by a 5-2 score. The doubles tandems of Eric Rubens and Alex Placek and Bijan Moallemi and Erik Elliott both earned points for UCSD.

ric Steidlmayer, a UC San Diego graduate, begins his 12th season as head coach of the Tritons’ men’s tennis team in 2009-10. Regarded as one of the best tennis teachers in the country, Steidlmayer’s passion for the game and his competitive nature are evidenced by his team’s tenacity and fiery perseverance. During his first 11 seasons on the La Jolla campus, Steidlmayer has amassed a .612 winning percentage, posting 137 wins through the first 224 matches of his coaching career. The Tritons made their 10th straight playoff appearance under Steidlmayer’s watch in 2009, finishing the season with a 12-11 overall record. UCSD’s regular season ended on a high note, with a 5-4 upset of UC Santa Cruz. Steidlmayer’s team ended up earning the No. 4 seed in the West Regional and falling to top seeded Hawaii Pacific, but not before Samuel Ling and Naveen Dixit recorded a win in doubles competition. In 2008, the Tritons advanced to the NCAA D-II National Championships after defeating

In 2007, the UCSD had its best-ever national finish, completing a season in which it finished third nationally and posted an 18-7 overall record. UCSD defeated Northwest Missouri State in the Round of 16 by a 5-0 score before disposing of 8th-ranked Barry University in the National Quarterfinals by a 5-2 margin. The team’s season came to an end in the National Semifinals, but not before a fight, as the Tritons played No. 5 Valdosta State very competitively before falling by a 5-1 score. The 18 wins during the ‘07 campaign included four over NCAA D-I opponents and another two against UC Santa Cruz, the NCAA D-III National Champion, and Azusa Pacific, the NAIA Division I National Runners-Up. Additionally, juniors Blake Meister and Eric Rubens were honored as ITA All-Americans after posting a 19-4 record together at the top spot on the doubles ladder. A 14-10 record in 2005-06 in which the squad qualified for the NCAA Division II Tournament, advancing all the way to the Sweet Sixteen before falling to Lynn University by a narrow 5-3 margin. Lynn was the 2006 NCAA D-II National Runner-Up. Without enough teams in the West Region, Steidlmayer’s squad plays with no conference affiliation during the year, forcing the Tritons to play one of the toughest Division II schedules in the country on an annual basis. In 2006 alone, Steidlmayer’s squad played 11 matches against NCAA Division I schools. His team notched an 8-1 record against D-II institutions during

UC San Diego ‘96

The team won its first three tournament matches and advanced to the NCAA Division II Quarterfinals. UCSD finished in fifth place overall after losing to Armstrong Atlantic State, who finished the year ranked No. 2 in the ITA poll. Steidlmayer’s squad posted a record of 18-10 in 2003-04, qualifying for the NCAA Division II Regionals for the fourth-straight year after the move up from Division III in 2000. It was the fifthstraight postseason appearance for the Tritons. After the team’s 12-11 record in 2008-09, Steidlmayer’s all-time coaching mark improved to 137-87, building upon his mark as the winningest men’s tennis coach in UCSD history. His win percentage of .612 is the best number in the UCSD men’s tennis annals for coaches who were on the La Jolla campus for more than one season. A 1996 UC San Diego graduate who played for three years on the Triton tennis team, Steidlmayer served for two seasons as assistant tennis coach at UC Davis prior to returning to La Jolla. He also earned a master’s degree in Economics from UC Davis in the fall of 1998. While attending UCSD, Steidlmayer was named the Tritons’ Most Valuable Player after helping them earn a berth in the 1996 Division III National Championships. Widely respected for his coaching prowess, Steidlmayer also serves the NCAA tennis community by serving on the NCAA Division II Tennis Championship committee.

Her teams qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championships a total of 19 times, winning four national titles, finishing second on five other occasions. The Tritons also placed third nationally three times while at the D-III level. During her 30 years on the La Jolla campus, LaPlante has amassed a .706 winning percentage with her 469-195 overall record. She has posted double digit victories in all but three of her 30 campaigns at the helm, and has notched winning seasons in all but one. Only twice in her career has she ever had a team with double digit losses while recording 20 or more wins on four different occasions. LaPlante was recognized in 2009 as Coach of the Year by both the California Collegiate Athletic Association and Intercollegiate Tennis Association West Region after leading the Tritons to their sixth-straight undefeated CCAA Championship season.

The 2008 season was another banner year for the women’s tennis program as LaPlante guided the Tritons to their 5th-straight California Collegiate Athletic Association title. The team posted a 14-11 overall record and a perfect 10-0 mark in CCAA play. The undefeated league campaign ran the Tritons’ win streak up to 50-straight in CCAA action.

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

wo integral parts of the UC San Diego athletics department are the Athletic Performance Program and the Sports Medicine Program, both of which provide a tremendous advantage to all 23 of the UCSD intercollegiate sports.

The Athletic Performance Program is geared toward teaching each student-athlete how to achieve the highest level of athletic development through enhancement of all components of strength and conditioning. Athlete workouts are planned and monitored out by Rob Mamula, UCSD’s Director of Athletic Performance. Mamula brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Triton athletics and represents the only full-time strength and conditioning coach in the entire CCAA. The Tritons work out in the RIMAC weight room, which is over 12,000 square feet in size and features state of the art equipment. The UCSD Athlete Performance Program is truly designed with the student-athlete’s enhancement in mind. Very few programs at the Division II level have such expertise and first class facilities at the disposal of the student-athlete, helping to further distinguish the Triton Athletics Department as one of the premiere intercollegiate programs in the country. The UC San Diego Sports Medicine Center is dedicated to the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries suffered by Triton student-athletes. Under the supervision of head athletic trainer Kevin Messey MS, ATC, CSCS and his staff, UCSD athletes receive the highest quality medical care and access to an extensive network of physicians and other medical specialists. The rest of the training room staff is comprised of two full-time ATCs and an average of 10 athletic training students (ATS). The UCSD athletic training room is a clinical site for San Diego State University’s accredited athletic training education program, where some of the athletic training students fulfill their clinical experience. Additionally, the UCSD Sports Medicine Center offers a wide variety of options for examination and rehabilitation. From acupuncture to a group of six highly specialized sports medicine, family practitioners and orthopedic surgeons, the UCSD training room has a multitude of options at your disposal to get you healthy and back on the field of competition in no time.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

he University of California, San Diego Department of Athletics is committed to actively participating in the community through a variety of outreach events and services. Student-athletes from 23 sports participate in a wide range of service and outreach programs in and around the San Diego area. In 2003-04 the Tritons began the “Team Up!” program. This program assists local elementary schools that do not have a physical education component in their current curriculum. UCSD student-athletes provide healthy physical activity and create an environment for elementary school students that foster positive thinking and team building. The program was run at the Del Mar Heights Elementary School in the morning hours prior to school starting and during the students’ lunch periods during the past two years. Triton student-athletes make the holidays brighter for 12 families in the San Diego area on an annual basis, providing a plethora of gifts and holiday cheer. Triton teams paired up and each tandem purchased presents, food, and goodies to deliver to their adopted family before the holidays. Families were selected by the Neighborhood House Association which runs the Head Start programs throughout San Diego County. Student-athletes contacted the families to find out what special presents the children wanted, as well as what sort of clothing or other needs could be met. Teams delivered the presents in person and spent time with the families, often playing games with the children. Families each received approximately $300-$500 worth of gifts, depending on the number of children. Presents ranged from a bike for one child to clothing and food for the parents. In conjuction with the California Collegiate Athletic Association as the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Triton student-athletes have gone to work to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in each of the last three years. The student-athletes held a bake sale during the Annual Sun God Festival on the UCSD campus. Each team brought baked goods for a sale in the evening prior to the festival’s main event. The goal at each CCAA member institution was to raise $1 per student-athlete. Triton student-athletes far exceeded this goal, raising over $1,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2005. Additionally, the Intercollegiate Athletics Department holds an annual Blood Drive to benefit the American Red Cross. All coaches, staff and out of season student-athletes participated in the blood drive, while those student-athletes who were in season recruited other students on campus to donate blood on their behalf.
