THE PERFECT BACKDROP THE CITY BY THE BAY Located centrally in one of the most colorful cities in the world, USF’s campus overlooks both downtown San Francisco and Ocean Beach, putting it in one of the most prime locations anywhere. In addtion to being in one of the most desired destinations in the world, campus life has made great improvements in recent years as five extensive renovation projects have taken place in the last six years, providing faculty and students with a unique environment to learn and live.

USF’s beautiful Lone Mountain campus has seen enormous growth with a completely renovated dormatory for underclassmen. It takes a little work, but once to the top, Lone Mountain offers some of the best views anywhere in the City. And recently renovated classrooms too! Additionally, Loyola Village, the “Bellagio” of oncampus living boasts two bedroom suites fully furnished for residents. And just last year, Kalmanovitz Hall (formerly Campion Hall) opened its doors for classes with one of the most technologically advanced facilities in America.

USF ATHLETICS REPRESENTING A GLOBAL UNIVERSITY: An urban university located in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse cities, the University of San Francisco has long been a pioneer for social justice and students from more than 80 countries currently attend USF. Dons Athletics have long been pioneers of diversity and three of USF’s most legendary programs exemplify this trait. USF’s 1955-56 NCAA Championship basketball team was the first team in NCAA history to feature three African American starters, headlined by NBA legends K.C. Jones and Bill Russell more than a decade before West Texas State started five en route to the 1966 title.

One of the most successful programs in NCAA history, Dons soccer captured five NCAA Championships beginning in 1966 featuring a “United Nations” roster, with prominent players from four continents. In the 2007-08 academic year student-athletes from 34 countries represented the Green and Gold.

Top: Andy Atuegbu, named 1975 & 1976 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player & a member of Soccer America’s Team of the Century

USF’s storied 1951 “Unbeaten, Untied and Uninvited” football team was one of the top teams in collegiate history, featuring an NCAA record three players who would be inducted into the National Football League Hall of Fame in Canton. A berth in the Orange Bowl was offered, following an unblemished 9-0 season, but only if the Dons left their two African-American players at home. The team declined and USF was forced to immediately drop football due to financial problems.

FACILITIES RICKY AND THERESE CUROTTO STUDENT ATHLETE CENTER: In addition to the improvements to USF’s weight room, training room, and locker rooms, War Memorial Gym boasts renovated offices for USF’s coaches and the new Academic Support Center, where student athletes can meet with an advisor, register for classes or receive help from tutors. All teams hold weekly study hall sessions in the center as well.

NEGOESCO FIELD: The home field of USF’s Legendary Soccer field underwent aesthetic upgrades before the 2008 season. One of the most notable improvements at Negoesco Stadium was the installation of banners celebrating the rich legacy and tradition of USF Soccer. Six national championship banners will hang alongside banners celebrating the Dons glorious postseason past. Other changes included the installation of European football-style advertising panels to acknowledge sponsors and supporters of USF Athletics and the Dons Soccer program. Additionally, protective team shells were installed in the team bench areas.

BENEDETTI DIAMOND: In the wake of record seasons, the USF Baseball Program has seen a number of upgrades in their facilities as well. In the last three seasons, the Diamond Dons have recieved a new 8000 square foot locker room, a new infield was installed to major league specifications, and a new outfield wall was constructed (including 70-foot high netting to protect the surrounding neighborhood). Most recently, a new indoor batting/pitching facility was constructed down the left field foul line.

2010 SEASON PREVIEW

AFTER JUST MISSING OUT ON POSTSEASON PLAY, SAN FRANCISCO BASEBALL LOOKS TO RETURN TO THE TOP OF THE WEST COAST CONFERENCE AND A REGIONAL. It came down to the final game of the 2009 season, and with three possible outcomes, the Dons had a chance to finish second in the West Coast Conference and play in the WCC Championship, but fell to Portland in a tight 1-0 contest to end their postseason hopes. This year, with 23 returning letter-winners, including the entire pitching staff, the University of San Francisco baseball team looks to improve on their 28-28 record and return to an NCAA Regional. 2009 REVIEW The Dons are a strong home team, but with just 16 games at Benedetti Diamond last year, USF had a tough road to overcome. They proved yet again to be a top home ballclub, finishing 10-6 in friendly confines, but had a little rougher go on the road, coming out just one game ahead at 17-18. A fairly young team, the Dons started slow, going 4-10 in their first 14 games before winning four in a row, one at San Jose State and a threegame sweep at the University of Washington. They then went on to finish out the next 38 games at a relatively even 20-18. “I thought we had a fabulous team,” said head coach Nino Giarratano. “We were a little young going into the season and we needed to answer some questions about our pitching, but we really started to answer those questions down the stretch. It was a really exciting year.” “We definitely want to get back to a regional, but I’m really proud of the way that the kids played, and I’m really excited about the competitiveness throughout the whole season,” Giarratano continued. “I think as a coach, any time you can play for a chance at postseason play on the last day of the season, which we have done ever since 2005, is remarkable.” Highlights of the season included the sweep at Washington, ten series victories, including five against conference opponents, and five Dons claiming spots on the WCC First Team. Senior third baseman Dane Braunecker, senior outfielders Drew Johnson and Zach Kim, junior right-hander Doug Murray, and junior shortstop Derek Poppert all earned WCC First Team accolades in 2009. Kim deserves special recognition after earning the Dons single-season stolen bases record, swiping 42 bags and finishing fourth in the nation. Two Dons were drafted after the season, with the Cincinnati Reds taking Poppert in the 23rd round, and the Oakland A’s calling on junior catcher Ryan Lipkin in the 43rd round. Both players will return for the 2010 season. “I’ve always said that if you get your mid-to-late round draft picks back for their senior year, you really have a chance to be successful because the pressure of the draft is off them now and they get to play and enjoy it,”

Giarratano said. TEAM USA Giarratano will once again serve as an assistant coach for USA Baseball’s National Collegiate Team this summer. He previously assisted in 2008, and helped lead the team to a Gold Medal in the FISU World Championship in the Czech Republic. Lipkin was also a part of the 24-0 US team. “I’m extremely humbled by the opportunity to wear USA on my chest and coach the best players in the country,” said Giarratano. “I’m excited to return. The first time I went in, it was kind of unknown, but now I know what to expect. I’m looking forward to the competition, the building of relationships, and representing the Country.” GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS FOR 2010 Returning 23 letter-winners and 13 pitchers puts the Dons into a good spot to jump into postseason play, especially after finishing just one game out of second place in the WCC last season. Giarratano wants to lead his team to another NCAA Regional, but knows it’s going to take the day-today things to get them there. “I think the goals and expectations of the year are to play up to our capabilities and pitch and play defense and be competitive everyday out,” said Giarratano. “I don’t know if you can equate it into 35-36-37 wins on the field, but this team has the capability of putting up enough quality wins from an RPI standpoint to get us into another regional.” “We would just hope somewhere along the line that we’re given enough credit for what we’ve been able to accomplish over the last five years here at USF, given the demands of division I baseball and the opponents we’ve played,” Giarratano continued. “I think we’re capable of winning a conference championship and going into a Regional and going into a Super Regional. Our goal, obviously, is to play in Omaha and it’d really be nice to chase that dream down and give it to the kids and the University, and the City of San Francisco.” DIFFERENT LOOK FOR THE NEW SEASON Over the past few years the Dons have stolen a lot of bases, including 107 last season. USF also focused a lot on pitching and defense, but this season, it may be a different team. In 2010, the team is built as more of an offensive club with pitching depth. There won’t be as many stolen bases, but Giarratano doesn’t feel that is a detriment with this group. “We really like the pitching depth we have with this group, but as far as team speed, we aren’t going to be running as much as we did last year,” Giarratano explained. “That is one commodity that is tough to recruit, just plain speed. But all in all, I think this team will hit more home runs, so the speed isn’t going to be as much of a factor. We still have quality team speed, we just don’t have the burners we’ve had in the last few years, that could just out and out steal bases.” Junior Stephen Yarrow led the Dons in 2009 with 13 homeruns and will be looked upon to reach that level again. But USF will have some big bats backing him up, adding to the offensive output. Newcomer Pete Lavin and sophomore Nik Balog can provide power from the left side, while seniors Derek Poppert and Chris Dittmann and sophomore Matt Chavez will add bonus power from the right. PITCHING Pitching will be the team’s biggest strength going into the season however. All three weekend starters return in senior right-hander Doug Murray, junior left-hander Matt Lujan and sophomore right-hander Cameron Love. Right-handed junior Matt Hiserman will possibly see some starts, but will most likely transition into a closing roll. Plus, top bullpen guys like junior righty’s Jonathan Abramson and Garrett Luippold return to the mix. “The pitching staff definitely knows what is ahead of them and what they need to do to sustain,” said Giarratano. “Their experience is invaluable, but they need to go out and pitch well, and that should equate into wins for us over the course of the season.” Murray led the Dons and the WCC with a 9-0 record. He will transition from a Saturday starter into leading the club on Friday’s. Lujan will move to Saturday, with Love beginning the year as the Sunday hurler, freeing up Hiserman to close. Sophomore LHP Jordan Remer, who saw time in the middle last year, has a chance to see mid-week starts, along with sophomore lefty Bob Mott. Hiserman led the Dons with a 3.43 ERA and was second with two saves. Abramson, who led with five saves and shared the appearances lead with Luippold (26), will transition into more of a middle relief role. Senior right-handers Alex Kalogrides and Joe Oropeza will see late inning work. Sophomore RHP Matt Chavez will see innings here and there as the Dons only two-way player. Incoming freshmen right-handers Haden Hinkle and Abe Bobb will be added to the middle in their first season.

CATCHING With Lipkin returning after being drafted by the A’s, the catching situation is pretty locked down. The senior, who will start most days, has worked out over the season on fixing his footwork as has turned into a plus-defensive catcher. He will be rested at least once a week, and replaced with capable backups. Junior Travis Higgs and sophomore Mason Morioka split time last season and will do so again in 2010. INFIELD Third base was the only question mark going into the fall after losing WCC First-Teamer Braunecker. His defense was invaluable, as he committed just nine errors all season at the hot corner. Yarrow will make the transition from first to third in 2010. With great range and an above average arm, he should fit into the position nicely. Sophomore Nik Balog will take over first base duties from Yarrow, after seeing time at both corners last year. Matt Chavez will backup the corners and will be a power bat in the lineup, often as a designated hitter. Poppert and senior Robert Abel are back in the middle this season. Both players worked on their defense during the summer and fall and look to rebound after a combined total of 35 errors last year. Abel was named Defensive Player of the Year in the Northwoods League (Minnesota) this summer. Freshman Jason Mahood will backup Abel and will be the Dons second baseman of the future. This season he has a chance to really help the Dons as a utility man, seeing time in the field, but also as a pinch hitter and DH. Also in the wings this year will be sophomore Adam Clear and senior George Lujan. OUTFIELD The most notable change will be in the outfield. Three of the Dons four starters from the past two years are gone. Drew Johnson and Zach Kim left as seniors and Bobby Ethel left after his junior year to attend graduate school. The speed and defense will be hard to replace, but junior Connor Bernatz, who earned Freshman All-American status two seasons ago, will once again roam the grass in center. Flanking him will be Lavin in right and Dittmann in left. Lavin earned All-American status at East Los Angeles Junior College. Dittmann made the transition from infield to outfield in the fall and should be an above average defensive player for the Dons. Waiting in the wings is junior transfer Tom Barry (Phoenix College). Rehabbing a knee injury sustained last season, Barry hasn’t been at full strength through the fall, but will most likely take over the fourth outfield spot by the beginning of the season. NON-CONFERENCE SCHEDULE In a change from last year, the Dons will open up the season playing 10 of the first 13 games at home. The season begins with a three-game series against Pacific, two in Stockton (2/19-20), and ending at Benedetti

Diamond on February 21. The Dons then host Cal Poly, a 2009 NCAA Regional team, at home the following weekend (2/26-28). The Dons head to San Diego State for a duel tournament with the Aztecs and the University of San Diego. USF meets Cal State Fullerton (3/11), USD (3/12), the 2008 National Champion Fresno State Bulldogs (3/13), and closes out the weekend at SDSU (3/14). Regional participant Houston will play one at Benedetti Diamond on March 16th before the Dons travel to perennially tough opponent UC Riverside (3/19-21). Other notable opponents include Cal (3/23 and 5/12), UC Santa Barbara (3/26-28), Stanford (3/29), and Arizona State (4/27-28), a team that finished third in last year’s College World Series. West Coast Conference USF finished third at 12-9 for the second consecutive season, winning five of seven series, but ending the season one game out of second place and a spot in the West Coast Conference Championship Series. The Dons host Gonzaga (4/9-11), before traveling to Saint Mary’s (4/16-18). LMU will host USF (4/23-25), before the Dons return home to meet San Diego (4/30-5/2). USF will travel to Santa Clara (5/7-9) and host Portland (5/1416). The Dons close out the season at Pepperdine (5/28-30). “I think all in all, USF has one of the best chances to be among the top teams in the conference this year,” Giarratano said. “We’re going to have to beat San Diego and Pepperdine to have a chance.” The conference has changed it’s format for the 2010 season, dropping the Championship Series. The team that wins the conference title will earn the automatic NCAA bid, which makes winning WCC games and series even more important. “The conference changing formats puts a premium on our non-conference schedule and wins, as far as getting your RPI as high as possible,” said Giarratano. “It’s a chance that we could get three teams in, or we may just get one, but it’s a risk the conference had to take based on economics. We’re hoping to go to a four-team tournament in 2011, but for right now, it makes you play those 21 games like it’s your postseason ticket.” DANTE BENEDETTI CLASSIC San Francisco once again hosted Cal in the fourth annual Dante Benedetti Classic, but fell for the first time in the contest, 4-3 on March 31, 2009. This season, USF will be the visiting team as it will be part of the three game conference series with Saint Mary’s. Game time on April 16 is set for 6:30 PM. The last time the Dons played a conference opponent in the Classic was in 2007. USF defeated Santa Clara 6-2. “I can’t say enough thanks to the people from the Benedetti foundation that have helped make this game a reality and we’re going into year number five,” said Giarratano. “It’s remarkable that we get to keep doing it year after year.”

NEW HITTING FACILITY INSTALLED AT BENEDETTI DIAMOND Groundbreaking for the new batting cage at Benedetti Diamond began on Tuesday, September 8, 2009 and signaled the most significant change to the facility perhaps since the outfield fences were originally installed at what was then known as Ulrich Field back in the 1920’s. Although many changes in Benedetti Diamond have occurred in the last 10-12 seasons, none is more significant for the program than construction of the USF’s first indoor hitting facility. “I think anytime in the Bay Area, with the weather as it is, and not being able to practice year around, we just needed to get competitive in that arena and be able to prepare ourselves a little bit better,” said Giarratano. “Any time you put yourself in a situation that your kids can have a facility that will put them at the top of their game is the best thing you can do.” The facility, which will significantly improve practice sessions for the Dons during the winter months, features dimensions of 80 feet long and 50 feet wide (4,000 square feet), covered, and enclosed. The size allows the ability to change the configuration multiple ways, including four small cages for hitting instruction, two cages for live batting practice, one large cage for defensive work, and with all the cages lifted, pitchers can throw bullpens on three mounds installed in the facility. Another possibility is to remove all cages and add in tables and chairs for a banquet or dinner with USF Baseball, including sound, video, and heating systems. There will be turf in and around the facility, including behind the cage in an area that will be used as a pitching center. Changes to the third base stands are included in the process as well. A 30-foot net will stretch from the batting facility to the dugout to protect fans from foul balls, and the stands themselves will be turned to face home plate instead of the outfield. “To see change and to see a new facility being built, I think is just going to energize everyone,” Giarratano added. “The alumni, the current players, the players that are coming in, the players we’re recruiting; I just think every one will be excited about progress. Many thanks go out to all the people that gave to the facility and to the University for its continued support in picking up more than half the facility cost. And the Meyer family for their generous lead gift to get that going. The facility will bear the Meyer name.” USF had made many major improvements to Benedetti Diamond over the years. Prior to the 2000 season, the Dons received the new Dick Doust dugout and Dutch Anderson Press Box along the third base line. Before opening day 2004, trees along the left field fence were removed,

the area behind home plate was expanded, a new backstop fence was installed, and the center field fence was moved in and a new wall was constructed in left. More recently, in the months before the 2007 season began, the infield underwent some cosmetic surgery and was completely rebuilt. Then, prior to the 2008 campaign, new 70-foot safety netting around the perimeter of Benedetti Diamond was installed, along with new crash pads around the interior of the outfield fence, and a new scoreboard with LED screen. The batting cage is part of Phase III of the Benedetti Diamond Renovations. Still awaiting approval and funding are field turf installation in the outfield, installation of 1,100 chair back seats, and a new Benedetti Diamond entry gate. ABOUT BENEDETTI DIAMOND Benedetti Diamond has been a major part of USF athletics for many years, and not just for USF Baseball. Dons football, including the storied 1951 “Unbeaten, Untied, and Uninvited” squad practiced at Benedetti (then named Ulrich Field), and USF’s legendary men’s soccer team practiced and played many home matches at the site until 1982, and then again from 1987-88 when the Koret Center was under construction. Another exciting piece of trivia is that Dons Hall of Famer Pete Newell had a hand in building the first base (visitor’s) dugout, which still stands today.

COACHING STAFF

NINO GIARRATANO HEAD COACH Twelfth Year (William Jewell, 1986) • 2008 U.S. National Collegiate Team Assistant Coach - GOLD MEDAL • 2005 & 2006 West Coast Conference COACH OF THE YEAR • Three-Time National Junior College COACH OF THE YEAR GIARRATANO’S MILESTONE USF VICTORIES

USF head baseball coach Nino Giarratano prepares for his 12th year on the Hilltop after guiding the Dons to the most wins in a five-year stretch in program history. Since 2005, USF owns a 163-123 (.570) record, highlighted by the first back-to-back 30-plus win seasons in school history in 2005-06. Giarratano guided the Dons to a share of third place in the demanding West Coast Conference in 2009, with just two games separating first and third place. USF just missed returning to the 30 win mark at 28-28, but owned a winning conference record at 12-9. REACHING A MILESTONE Giarratano entered the 2009 campaign with 280 victories at USF, needing just 20 wins to reach a milestone. On April 24, 2009, the Dons gave Giarratano his 300th victory in style as they shutout Bay Area rival San Jose State 10-0 at Benedetti Diamond. Giarratano is just the third coach in Dons athletics history to surpass 300 victories on the Hilltop and joins NSCAA Hall-of-Famer Steve Negoesco (544) and baseball legend Dante Benedetti (373) in the 300 victory club. All previous Dons mentors to reach 300 career wins played and graduated from the University of San Francisco. With 28 wins in 2009, Giarratano sits at 308 wins at USF and counting. Overall, he now has 618 collegiate victories, which includes the junior college level. Among all-time West Coast Conference coaches, he is currently ninth in overall wins, 21 games behind 8th place Frank Cruz (LMU) and he overtook Pepperdine’s Andy Lopez in conference wins (143). He is just seven games back from Frank Sanchez and Wayne Lopez (both of Pepperdine) in eighth. 2008 SUMMER Over the summer of 2008, Giarratano helped lead the U.S. Collegiate National Team to a 24-0 record and a gold medal in the FISU World Championships in the Czech Republic. As an assistant coach, Giarratano traveled with the team through several eastern States, the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Giarratano coached the offense and the team finished with a .265 batting average, 209 hits (36 doubles, five triples, and 25 homeruns), 138 RBI, and 150 runs scored. For some perspective, Team USA’s opponents batted .154 with 16 doubles, one triple, and one homerun. DIAMOND DONS BREAK THROUGH Giarratano directed the Dons to the best season in program history in 2006. San Francisco captured the program’s first WCC Championship and NCAA Regional berth and set a program wins record with 39. After guiding the Dons to only the second runner-up WCC showing in 2005, the Dons responded in 2006 by winning seven games against top-25 opponents, including the first ever road series victory over Pepperdine, eight wins against 2006 NCAA Regional participants and a school record 19 road vic-

tories. The Dons led the league in pitching for the second straight season, posting a 2.69 ERA during WCC games. After propelling the Dons to the first league title, Giarratano was selected by his peers as WCC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season, joining current men’s soccer coach Erik Visser as the only Dons mentor to win coaching accolades in back-to-back years since the 1960’s. Giarratano is only the second baseball coach in school history to win the honor and first since USF Hall-of-Famer Dante Benedetti won it in 1971 following one of just two second place league finishes. BUILDING A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE ON THE HILLTOP A proven recruiter, Giarratano continues to shape the Dons into a force to be reckoned with on the West Coast and in the WCC. During his tenure on the Hilltop, 29 players have signed professional contracts, including a program record of four drafted in the 2004 and 2008 Major League Draft. In addition, 23 players have earned First Team All-WCC honors, while an additional 11 players have earned second team all-league selection, and one earned WCC Defensive Player of the Year. Giarratano is committed to excellence in the classroom and 28 have earned All-WCC Academic selection, including a program record four in 2004, 2006-2007, and 2009. In addition, 69 USF baseball student-athletes were named to the WCC Honor Roll in the last six seasons.

COACHING STAFF DIAMOND DONS MAKING AN IMPACT Since Giarratano’s arrival on the Hilltop, USF has made steady progress in the challenging WCC schedule, posting a first place finish in 2006 and second place divisional finishes in 2003 and 2005. Multiple team records have fallen since Giarratano arrived eight years ago. The Dons led the WCC in ERA for the first time ever, posting the best mark in program history (2.86). Four program records fell in 2004, including hits (688) and pitching strikeouts (389). His 2000 club set no fewer than four offensive team records, including hits (656), doubles (127) and RBI (378). USF’s pitching has never been stronger after a record setting campaign in 2005, the 2006 (3.77) and the 2001 (4.57) squads posted the three lowest team ERA’s in the metal bat era. In 2008, the Diamond Dons pitching staff compiled a record 400 strikeouts. USF issued 133 walks in 2007, 141 in 2006 and 165 in 2005, easily the lowest back-to-back-to-back tallies since 1975. In the last 10 years, USF’s recruits have earned three Freshman All-American honors, most recently Matt Lujan and Connor Bernatz in 2008. Two players earned All-District VIII selection (Steve Booth & Taggert Bozied) and Bozied was a three-time All-American. In 2008, the first year the award was given, Joey Railey was named WCC Best Defensive Player of the Year. DIAMOND DONS ENTERING PROFESSIONAL RANKS USF made more history in 2007 when LHP Aaron Poreda became the first Diamond Don selected in the first round (25th overall) of the Major League Baseball Draft. History was repeated as the Dons had back-toback first round selections when LHP Evan Fredrickson went 35th overall in 2008. After the 2009 season, two Dons were drafted. Junior shortstop Derek Poppert was taken in the 23rd round by the Cincinnati Reds and junior catcher Ryan Lipkin went in the 43rd round to the Oakland Athletics. In 2007, a school record five Diamond Dons were drafted. Following Poreda, RHP Daniel Morales went to the Cleveland Indians in the 14th round. Outfielder Luke Sommer was taken by the Chicago Cubs in the 30th round. Two more Dons went in consecutive rounds with 3B Brian Chavez going to the New York Yankees in the 32nd round and RHP John Quine heading across the bay to the Oakland A’s in the 33rd round. Three Dons were selected in the 2006 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, headlined by WCC Player of the Year Scott Cousins, a third round pick by Florida. WCC Co-Pitcher of the Year Patrick McGuigan was taken by Toronto in the 27th round and WCC First Teamer Stefan Gartrell was chosen by the Chicago White Sox in the 31st. In 2005, Nick Pereira was a 10th round selection by the San Francisco Giants, and T.J. Franco was tabbed in the 30th round by Oakland. Four Diamond Dons were drafted in the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft, led by Kevin Rose (Philadelphia, 23rd), and followed by Joe Jacobitz (Seattle, 25th), Armand Gaerlan (New York Mets, 28th) and Derek Tate (Toronto, 34th). USF sent two more players into the professional ranks following the 2002 campaign and boasted a player selected in the first 10 rounds of the Major League draft for the third straight season (Steve Booth, ninth round). The success in 2002 was an encore to the 2001 draft, which included three players drafted, led by pitcher Jesse Foppert, who was selected in the second round by the San Francisco Giants, becoming the highest Dons pitcher ever drafted. Bozied was selected in the third round by the San Diego Padres following three First Team All-American seasons at USF. All-WCC outfielder Jeramy Janz also signed with Arizona. Five Diamond Dons signed pro contracts in 2000, highlighted by left-hander Ian Perio, selected by Boston in the 14th round and All-WCC outfielder Danny Trumble chosen by San Francisco in the 25th round. GIARRATANO AMONG THE NATIONAL ELITE Prior to coming to USF, Giarratano spent two seasons serving as an assistant coach at Arizona State under head coach Pat Murphy. Giarratano served as hitting instructor, offensive coordinator and third base coach for the Sun Devils. During his final season in Tucson, Giarratano helped ASU reach the 1998 College World Series Championship game, and constructed a staggering offense, boasting a .318 team batting average, driving in 557 runs off 723 base hits, including 57 home runs to go along with 120 stolen bases. In 1997 the Sun Devils hit .327 with 217 extra-base hits, 54 homers, 430 RBI and posted a team slugging percentage of .497. Giarratano also served as recruiting coordinator for Arizona State and the 1996 class was ranked third in the country by Baseball America, while the 1997 class was rated second. A THREE-TIME NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR Giarratano has also had a wealth of success as a head coach in the junior college ranks, earning Collegiate Baseball’s National Junior College Coach of the Year on three occasions while at Trinidad State Junior College from 1989-94. He led the Trojans to five College World Series ap

pearances in six seasons as Trinidad State posted a 233-86 (.730) mark during his tenure. In between his posts at Trinidad State JC and Arizona State, Giarratano spent two seasons (1995-96) as the head coach at Yavapai Community College in Prescott, Arizona. He posted a 77-36 (.681) record at Yavapai in just two seasons and sent 25 players into the professional ranks. Giarratano’s overall record as a junior college head coach was a sparkling 310-122 (.718). In addition to his wealth of experience at the Division I level and at the Junior College levels, Giarratano owns additional coaching experience. Giarratano coached semi-professional summer teams in both the Cape Cod and Alaskan leagues, and was a head coach at La Veta High School. He has also directed camps at both Trinidad State Junior College and Yavapai Community College, in addition to participating in numerous camps including the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals. A STRONG ACADEMIC FOCUS Giarratano compiled an impressive resume as a coach and recruiter, and has demonstrated a fierce commitment to academic as well as athletic achievement at every stop of his coaching career. The 2007 College of Arts and Sciences Valedictorian was none other than shortstop Tavo Hall, who also earned the West Coast Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. In 2008, the Dons recorded their highest ever team G.P.A. at 3.18. The 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2009 teams boasted a school record four AllWCC Academic Team selections and a school record 14 student-athletes earned selection to the 2003 and 2007 WCC Commissioner’s Honor Roll (3.0 GPA or higher). Giarratano’s assistant coaches are no strangers to the correlation between academic and athletic success. Both Greg Moore and Troy Nakamura were named to the All-WCC Academic Team during their careers in the Green and Gold. During his time in the junior college ranks, Giarratano graduated 97% of his recruited freshman athletes and sent 100% of his student-athletes into four-year universities. EXPERIENCE MATTERS After 11 years at San Francisco, Giarratano ranks second in tenure among head coaches in the West Coast Conference. San Francisco has been a picture of coaching stability and Giarratano is just the sixth head coach for the Dons since 1946. USF also boasts the most stable staff in the conference with the three assistant coaches amassing 31 years coaching the Dons and all three competed for the University of San Francisco. Pitching coach and recruiting coordinator Greg Moore finished his seventh year after spending one as a volunteer assistant, Troy Nakamura, completed his tenth season as a coach. Moore pitched three seasons under Giarratano and Nakamura was a four year letter-winner for the Diamond Dons. Volunteer Assistant Coach Jon Norfolk also played his entire career for Giarratano at USF. THE GIARRATANO FILE Giarratano received his Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education from William Jewell College in 1985. One year later, he earned a Master’s Degree in Secondary Administration from Adams State. He lives in the City with his wife Brenda and their son Nico. Daughter Bianca is attending college in Arizona.

2009 MLB DRAFT DRAFTED DONS Two Dons were selected in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft. The following is a capsule of each player’s final season in the green and gold. JUNIOR INF DEREK POPPERT 23RD ROUND, CINCINNATI REDS After a career year on the Hilltop and his first ever West Coast Conference First Team Selection, Derek Poppert was drafted on Day two by Cincinnati. Poppert ended the season batting .352 with 15 doubles, three triples, one homerun, a team leading 52 RBI, 24 walks, and 16 stolen bases. He had two four-hit games, one at Riverside (2/26) and the second at Pepperdine (4/24). Poppert was the hero, driving in a run in the 11th of the Dons 7-6 victory over Saint Mary’s (4/5). He had a season long 11game hit streak (4/14-5/2) and batted .489 (22-for-45) with six doubles and 17 RBI. He also helped the Dons to a program high 12 stolen base game with two against Pacific (5/5). JUNIOR C RYAN LIPKIN 43RD ROUND, OAKLAND ATHLETICS A summer after playing on the USA Collegiate Team that won the Gold Medal, Ryan Lipkin was drafted by the team across the Bay, the Oakland A’s in the 43rd round. Lipkin finished the season batting .266 with 12 doubles, one triple, four homeruns, 37 RBI, 17 walks, and two stolen bases. He had five three-hit games over the season, including one with a double and two RBI at Riverside (2/26). His four homeruns came at home vs. Sacramento State, including a season high four runs (3/17), at LMU (4/9), at home versus Santa Clara (4/19), and at then No. 13 Cal Poly (5/2).

FORMER DIAMOND DON AARON POREDA MAKES MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUT Former Diamond Don Aaron Poreda, USF’s highest ever draft pick at 25th overall in 2007, made his Major League Baseball debut with the Chicago White Sox on Friday, June 12 at Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. The White Sox lost the interleague matchup 7-2, but Poreda showed a lot of promise out of the bullpen. The 6-6 lefty came on in the seventh with two outs and struck out the first batter he faced, Milwaukee’s third baseman Mat Gamel. In all, Poreda threw 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, and striking out three batters. In a quote from the White Sox website, Poreda said this about his debut. “”It was amazing. I was just trying to throw as hard as I could, and it just happened right for me,” Poreda said. “It was an awesome feeling.” Poreda was called up from Double-A Birmingham on June 9, to replace starter Bartolo Colon on the 25-man roster. Colon is on the disabled list with inflammation in his left knee. As a starter in Birmingham, Poreda was 5-4 with a 2.38 ERA in 11 starts. He had 69 strikeouts in 64.1 innings. A two-time All-West Coast Conference First Team selection, Poreda departed the Hilltop as one of the top pitchers in program history, owning a share of third place in career victories (17), sixth in career ERA (2.61), seventh in career strikeouts (169) and games started (33), and owns eighth place in innings (245.0). As a sophomore in 2006, Poreda played a key role in elevating the Dons to the first WCC title in school history, followed by the team’s inaugural NCAA Regional berth. Poreda made history in the 2006 Lincoln Regional, winning the first NCAA Regional game in program history, a 5-1 elimination game victory against No. 6 National Seed Nebraska.

2010 USF BASEBALL • 41

THE WEST COAST CONFERENCE The West Coast Conference got its start back in 1952, and now enters its 55th season. In the beginning the founders really had only one goal in mind - to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball. What has grown from that original vision 55 years ago is a marvelous cohesive athletics league which is competitive at the national level in 13 sports. The eight current members of the WCC span the Western United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in athletics and academics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission. The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross-country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and volleyball. The league was chartered by five Bay Area institutions (Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, San Jose State and Santa Clara) as the California Basketball Association, playing

league record will gain the WCC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, which expanded from 48 to 64 teams in 1999. WCC members have taken part in four College World Series, including Pepperdine’s 1992 national championship squad. Loyola Marymount went to Omaha in 1986, the Waves made their first trip in 1979 and Santa Clara played in the 1962 NCAA championship game. Pepperdine (2001, 2004-05) and San Diego (2002-03,) had won the previous five WCC Championships before USF and the Waves tied for the title in 2006. San Diego was first in 2007 and 2008, with Gonzaga taking the crown in 2009. As for its overall success, the WCC has annually advanced at least one team to a national championship semifinal since 1989. League members have won 32 NCAA Team and individual championships overall. Portland women’s soccer captured its second NCAA National Championship in 2005 - the third for the league since 2001 when Santa Clara captured its first women’s soccer national title. Pepperdine men’s tennis captured the team title in 2006 after taking home the 2005 men’s volleyball crown.

its first game on January 2, 1953. After two seasons of play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became the “West Coast Athletic Conference” in 1956. The name was shortened to “West Coast Conference” in 1989. The current full-time lineup of WCC schools has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third most stable conference in the country. Baseball began in the WCC in 1968. Five conference institutions were charter members of the baseball league, along with three associates - Pacific, UC Santa Barbara and San Jose State. The conference temporarily split from 1977-1984 into the Northern and Southern California Baseball Associations, but realigned in 1985 to include San Diego and Nevada. The Wolfpack stayed until 1991, when WCC baseball was reduced to six institutions. Gonzaga and Portland joined the WCC in 1996 after departing the Pac-10 North, to bring the league to its full complement of member institutions. The 2010 baseball campaign marks the 43rd year for West Coast Conference baseball and the league will continue with the 21-game format. The team with the best regular season

USF ADMINISTRATION

Rev. Stephen Privett, S.J. Welcome to the Hilltop! During a recent visit to the West Coast Conference (WCC) headquarters, I was looking at the variety of team photos that decorate the walls of the league office. They depict WCC national championship teams and no school in the league has more NCAA championship teams represented in those photographs than USF. We have won more national championships -- men’s basketball three times, men’s soccer five times and men’s tennis twice -- than any other school in the WCC. This long, rich winning tradition in Division I competition remains the benchmark for our student-athletes and coaches today. At USF, athletics is about winning and about learning important lifelong lessons of leadership, teamwork, self-discipline, competition, and time management. Our standards for student athletes are high, whether on the court, in the classroom or out in public. In many ways, our athletes are the “face” of USF to the general public, and people like what they see. We are especially proud that many of our athletes “give back” to society. Every team at USF contributes in meaningful ways to the community. This year, for example, Coach Rex Walters and men’s basketball helped open the new St. Stephen’s Parish Center, which gives children the space and programming to develop confidence and positive concepts of sportsmanship and fair play. Coach Tanya Haave and women’s basketball participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and subsequently blogged about this transformative experience. USF prides itself on winning “the right way” and living up to its proud legacy in the NCAA. Please join me in saluting our coaches and student-athletes for their commitment and hard work in the classroom, on the court and in the community. Your support of their efforts for their continued success will inspire them to even greater achievement.

Sincerely,

PERSONAL:

Stephen A. Privett, SJ

Debra Gore-Mann ATHLETIC DIRECTOR (Fourth Year) EDUCATION: B.S., Industrial Engineering Stanford (1982) MBA - Stanford (1987)

Charlie Cross VICE PRESIDENT, BUSINESS & FINANCE (30th Year) EDUCATION: B.A., Economics University of San Francisco (1979) MBA - University of San Francisco, (1990)

INTRODUCTION: Debra Gore-Mann begins her fourth year as the Executive Director of Athletics in 2009-10. In her third year as A.D., the University of San Francisco won the 2008-09 West Coast Conference Men’s All-Sports Award. The honor marked the second time in school history that USF has won the award. The Dons also finished second in the annual Commissioner’s Cup, the highest finish in USF history. “The 2008-09 year was an extraordinary year in so many ways for USF Athletics,” said Gore-Mann. “We had a strong year thanks to our fall sports teams performing well and the rest of our teams taking advantage of the momentum that started with men’s soccer and volleyball. Our spring sports teams then added to their accolades, propelling us into second overall in the WCC standings. It was truly a collective effort by coaches, staff and student-athletes that we achieved so much last year. We hope to be able to capture the title outright in the near future”. San Francisco won the Men’s All-Sports Award thanks to first place finishes by the Dons’ men’s golf and men’s soccer programs. The two league championships marked the first time since 2005-06 that the Dons earned two men’s championships in a year - also the only other time the Green and Gold captured the league’s Men’s All-Sports Award. The 2008-09 year proved to be a successful one for the USF Athletic Department as seven of its athletic programs advanced to their respective NCAA Tournaments. By virtue of winning WCC titles, men’s soccer and men’s golf earned automatic bids to the postseason, while volleyball and women’s golf earned at-large bids to the postseason tournament after finishing second in league standings. Men’s and women’s track and field, cross country and women’s tennis each had individuals from their programs selected to compete in the national postseason. During 2008-09, USF also claimed many of the West Coast Conference’s top honors, landing three Player of the Year accolades, three Coach of the Year honors and a Freshman of the Year nod. On the coaching side, men’s golf head coach Gary Nelson, men’s soccer head coach Erik Visser and women’s golf head coach Ria Quiazon were named the WCC Coach of the Year for their respective sports. USF also added 20 First Team All-West Coast Conference honors to its list of 2008-09 accomplishments. With the conclusion of the 2008-09 academic year, the West Coast Conference announced the eighth annual Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which recognizes those student-athletes that possess at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. USF placed 96 student-athletes on the 2008-09 list with 14 earning Gold Honors, 15 earning Silver Honors, and 67 earning Bronze Honors. Women’s soccer had a department high four student-athletes earn gold honors, highlighted by 2009 College of Arts and Sciences Valedictorian Anika Steig. “In addition to USF’s athletics performances last year, we are equally proud of our student-athletes and their academic excellence,” said Gore-Mann. “This season we saw a renewed commitment to academics from several teams which was reflected in the overall increases in team GPAs and APR scores. In addition, we are most proud of our

DON OF A NEW ERA

BENEDETTI DIAMOND Groundbreaking for the new batting cage at Benedetti Diamond began on Tuesday, September 8, 2009 and it is just one of a host of improvements that the Diamond Dons have seen at USF’s home field. The facility was completed in mid-December and will significantly improve practice sessions for the Dons during the winter months. The facility is 80 feet long by 50 feet wide (4,000 square feet), covered, and enclosed. The size allows for the ability to change the configuration multiple ways, including four small cages for hitting instruction, two cages for live batting practice and one large cage for defensive work. “I think anytime in the Bay Area, with the weather as it is, and not being able to practice year around, we just needed to get competitive in that arena and be able to prepare ourselves a little bit better,” said head coach Nino Giarratano. “Any time you put yourself in a situation that your kids can have a facility that will put them at the top of their game is the best thing you can do.” “To see change and to see a new facility being built, I think is just going to energize everyone,” Giarratano added. “The alumni, the current student-athletes, the new student-athletes that are coming in, the prospects we’re recruiting; I just think everyone will be excited about this progress. Many thanks go out to all the people who have given to this project and to the University for its support. I’d also like to pay special thanks to Paul and Amy Meyer for their generous lead gift that really got things going. In honor of their generosity, the facility will include recognition of the Meyer family.” Top left: Field prior to groundbreaking. Top right: Structure takes shape.

BENEDETTI DIAMOND

Benedetti Diamond - Home of USF Diamond Dons Baseball

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS ENERGIZE BENEDETTI DIAMOND THE HOME OF USF BASEBALL Benedetti Diamond, the home of USF Baseball, continues to undergo renovations to improve the quality of the facilities for players and spectators. Besides the new hitting facility, the infield underwent major reconstructive surgery prior to the 2007 season and was completely rebuilt in the fourth major renovation to the home of the Dons in the last six years. In addition, safety nets were installed to protect cars and windows in the neighborhood. Just prior to the 2004 season, funds were raised for the first phase of major renovations to the facility. Improvements to be made during Phase One included the following: remove trees along the left field fence, expand and extend area behind current home plate area, install a new backstop fence, move in and construct a new centerfield fence, construct a new wall in left field. Other changes to the facility prior to the start of the 2004 campaign include a remodeled visiting team dugout. These changes to the outfield fences greatly altered the dimensions of Benedetti Diamond. Prior to 2004, left field played at 320, center was 430 and right field was 315 with the left field power alley at 385 and the right field power alley at 380. The new fence construction makes for symmetrical measurements of left field 320, center field 410 with a 10-foot fence, while right field will move to 320. USF head coach Nino Giarratano, the USF Athletic Department and Diamond Dons Baseball would like to thank all who have contributed to the Benedetti Diamond Renovations. “We are continuing to develop Benedetti Diamond into a quality Division I facility. These changes are just the beginning of a three phase project and should dramatically update the appearance of the park and improve the quality of the experience for fans and players alike,” Giarratano said. Benedetti Diamond has a long and storied connection with many USF Athletic programs. Dons football, including the storied 1951 “Unbeaten, Untied and Uninvited” squad practiced at Benedetti (then named Ulrich Field) and USF’s legendary men’s soccer team practiced and played many home matches at the site until 1982 and then again from 1987-88 when the Koret Center was under construction. If you are interested in contributing to the USF Baseball program as they continue to upgrade their home park, please contact the Dons’ baseball office at (415) 422-2934 and thank you for your continued support of the USF Diamond Dons.
