THIS IS SAN DIEGO BASKETBALL




With the donation of 10 million dollars by Sid and Jenny Craig, the University of San Diego received the lead gift necessary to proceed with the planning of the 17.5 million dollar Jenny Craig Pavilion. The Jenny Craig Pavilion serves as home to the Torero men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as the Torero women’s volleyball team. The Jenny Craig Pavilion officially opened its doors on Thursday, October 5, 2000 and was instantly recognized as one of the finest collegiate athletic facilities of its size. The Jenny Craig Pavilion, located at the eastern end of campus between Torero Stadium and Cunningham Baseball Stadium, has a seating capacity of 5,100, a 3,800 square foot fitness center, coaches offices, athletic training facilities, locker rooms, a concession stand and reception room. The arena was constructed with the university’s architectural theme of 16th century Spanish Renaissance, and contains state-of-the-art sound and lighting as well as two Daktronics video boards for spectator comfort. This is the second home to USD basketball and volleyball teams, and seats twice the number of fans as the university’s old Sports Center. Unlike basketball venues that have the scoreboard suspended over the center of the court, forcing some spectators to crane their necks to check the score, the Jenny Craig Pavilion was designed with large scoreboards and video screens on the north and south walls, and smaller scoreboards on the east and west sides. Other benefits the coaches and administration appreciate are the opportunities to attract television coverage games, host concerts, USD tournaments and special games. The Jenny Craig Pavilion quickly garnered major attention from around the region, as the West Coast Conference selected USD as the site of the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2008 WCC Basketball Championships, the 2002 California Junior College Basketball Championships, the annual Kiwanis Basketball Tournament, the Darrell Russell Celebrity Charity Basketball game, the 2003 NFL Celebrity Basketball Game, the Official Super Bowl XXXVII Luncheon, and the 2004 Judo National Championships.



San Diego is truly “America’s Finest City.” A modern metropolis (second largest in California) and a popular year-round resort, San Diego spreads from the coast to the desert, including cliffs, mesas, hills, canyons and valleys. San Diego also surrounds one of California’s greatest natural harbors which has been a dominant factor in determining the city’s history, economy and development. Meteorologists claim San Diego as the country’s only area with perfect climate. This ideal year-round environment posts an average daytime temperature of 70 degrees, with an annual rainfall average of less than 10 inches. Most days are sunny, with humidity generally low, even in the summer. The climate, attractive setting and recreational facilities make San Diego “America’s Finest City.” The city has mostly avoided the evils of urban sprawl, which has allowed its downtown to remain vibrant, especially

the Gaslamp Quarter. San Diego is also home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo as well as Sea World. The city is great for families, but for those without kids, there is a lot to do as well. San Diego is home to a number of military bases, primarily due to its location. In 1941, after the Pearl Harbor attacks, the U.S. established the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet in San Diego, and the city is now home to the largest air naval station on the west coast. Unlike many cities, San Diego’s airport is right next to downtown, increasing its convenience even more. It is hard to believe that San Diego is the nation’s sixth-largest city, it just retains a small town feel. According to Sports Illustrated, “For sheer numbers of participants, diversity of pursuits of involvement, San Diego must rank as the sports fitness capital of the U.S.” Sports are a major feature of the San Diego lifestyle. One can sail, swim, surf, scuba dive, snorkel, windsurf on 70 miles of public beach or golf at any of the over 80 golf courses throughout the county. Balboa Park, a 1,158-acre recreation

and cultural center, offers 25 tennis courts, two gymnasiums, two municipal golf courses, and one of the nation’s finest zoos. Mission Bay Park is a 4,600-acre playground for jogging, fishing, bicycling, tennis, golf, jet skiing and kite flying. As well as participating in recreational activities, San Diego supports their professional teams -- the NFL Chargers play at Qualcomm Stadium, and the San Diego Padres play at Petco Park. During college football bowl week, San Diego annually hosts the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl in late December. During 1998, Qualcomm Stadium hosted the Super Bowl game between Denver and Green Bay; followed by the World Series between the San Diego Padres and the New York Yankees. The Super Bowl returned to San Diego in 2003. Whatever sporting activity there is, it’s here in San Diego -- the sports capital of the U.S.!



The University of San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of higher education. Founded in 1949, USD is located on 180 acres overlooking Mission Bay, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alcalá Park and is located just 10 minutes from downtown San Diego. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid - Alcala de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Christians recaptured the village centuries later and founded a university whose buildings became the inspiration for USD’s architectural style. Under the leadership of Mother Rosalie Hill of the Society of the Sacred Heart and Bishop Charles Francis Buddy of the Diocese of San Diego, the University of San Diego began as separate colleges for men and women. The first classes met in 1952; the School of Law opened its doors in 1954. By the late 1960’s it became clear that both colleges would benefit from combining academic resources, and in 1972 the University of San Diego became a single coeducational Catholic university. Now governed by a board of trustees independent from the founding organizations, USD is a Roman Catholic institution that welcomes students, faculty and staff of diverse religions, traditions and remains dedicated to the values originally articulated by Mother Hill and Bishop Buddy. Students choose from more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degrees programs in academic divisions including the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of Business Administration, Leadership and Education Sciences, Law and Nursing and Health Science. The USD campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Renaissance style. Since 2000, USD has completed numerous major construction and expansion projects. In 2000 the Jenny Craig Pavilion, a 5,100-seat athletic center, opened its doors as home to USD basketball and volleyball. The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice opened on the west end of campus, and in 2003 the Donald P. Shiley Center for Science and Technology opened. The Degheri Alumni Center, a three-story 28,000 square foot building located near the main entrance to USD, opened in 2004. A gathering place for the alumni family, it was made possible with a generous gift from alumnus Bert Degheri ’61. The Student Life Pavilion, a four-story, 50,000-square-foot building, opened its doors this past fall.



Community service, community belonging and social responsibility are important to developing a student-athlete’s civic identity and collective voice. The impact of participation and pro-social attitudes on volunteering can improve their sense of community connection, social consciousness and generate feelings of responsibility to groups larger than themselves. USD Athletics partnered with various organizations to provide rich learning opportunities for student-athletes engaged in public service. Our commitment to the community is something we believe in and is an integral part of our culture and who we are as a university. Over the past two school years the USD basketball team, along with other USD teams and student-athletes, has participated in a variety of community service. Listed below are some of the organizations and events that USD Athletics supported. l

BILL GRIER HEAD COACH

THIRD SEASON

38-30 OVERALL RECORD

Bill Grier, 46, enters his third year as head coach of the USD men’s basketball program. This past season he guided the Toreros to a 16-16 record and he enters the 2009-10 campaign with a 3830 career mark. Last year’s season was highlighted with wins over Nevada, Oregon, Mississippi State and Pacific in the program’s first-ever ESPNU BracketBuster’s game. In his first season (2007-08) at the helm of the Torero program, Grier led Torero basketball to heights never reached before. USD became the first San Diego Division I team to win an NCAA Tournament contest when it handed No. 4 seed Connecticut a 70-69 overtime loss on March 21st. Following a hard-fought 2nd round loss to Western Kentucky, USD closed out its season with an overall record of 22-14, including a 15-4 mark following the start of league. Following its 11-3 West Coast Conference finish, good for 3rd place, the Toreros won the WCC Tournament with wins over Pepperdine, Saint Mary’s and No. 20 Gonzaga. In addition to its outstanding road win over the Kentucky Wildcats at historic Rupp Arena in late December, the Toreros combined to knock off three top-20 teams (Saint Mary’s, Gonzaga and UConn). Hired on March 26, 2007, Grier became USD’s 11th head coach in program history and just the 4th coach since USD moved to the NCAA Division I ranks in 1979-80. Prior to his arrival at USD, Grier was at Gonzaga University for sixteen years, the last eight as top assistant to head coach Mark Few. He immediately went to work on putting his personal stamp on Torero basketball. After assembling an outstanding staff, and getting acquainted with USD’s returning players, he went to work on recruiting and putting together arguably USD’s toughest schedule ever. “We were searching for a person with an overwhelming drive to succeed,” said Ky Snyder, USD Executive Director of Athletics.“We found that and much more in Bill Grier. The people I talked with across the country, people who I greatly respect, had nothing but praise for Bill - a great person and family man, a teacher who is great at individual workouts, a tireless worker, demanding on the court but also with success in the classroom, a great recruiter, thorough in his approach, ready to become a head coach. It is with great pleasure that I am able to introduce the man that fits all of these descriptions as our new head men’s basketball coach.” A highly motivated, detailed and results oriented basketball coach with excellent communication and teaching skills, Grier played an integral role in Gonzaga’s arrival on the national scene. He began his career at Gonzaga in 1992 under head coach Dan Fitzgerald where he served as the restricted-earnings assistant for six years. He was elevated to a fulltime assistant for the 1997-98 season when Dan Monson took over the head coaching reigns. During his two seasons under Monson, the Bulldogs went 52-17, won back-to-back WCC titles, went to the 1998 NIT Sweet Sixteen and made it to the 1999 NCAA Elite Eight. In July, 1999, when Monson accepted the Minnesota job, Mark Few was made the head coach and Grier stayed where he was promoted to top assistant. Over the past eight years Gonzaga saw nothing but continued success with the teams compiling a 211-52 record over that span. During this time the Zags won the WCC regular-season title seven times; the WCC Tournament title seven times; advanced to the NCAA Tournament


eight times, including three trips to the Sweet Sixteen; and finished ranked in the top-10 of the final AP poll three times (2004-2006). Overall with Grier as an assistant coach, the Bulldogs have combined for an overall record of 381-126; won 11 regular-season WCC championships; won nine WCC Tournament titles (33-7 WCC tournament record); advanced to nine consecutive NCAA Tournaments, and ten overall, including four Sweet 16 appearances and the 1999 Elite Eight. The last ten years Grier was the “defensive coordinator” for the Bulldogs, as well as being responsible for ten recruiting classes. He has developed the program into one known for its defense as much as it is for its offense. Since assuming the defensive role under former head coach Dan Monson, Gonzaga has led the WCC in field goal percentage defense six times, including the 3rd best mark in the nation in 2004. Responsible for the past ten recruiting classes, his 2007 class is the program¹s best yet, ranked 11th-best in the nation by the Rivals.com recruiting service. Four recruits in the 2007 class rank in the top-100 in their class. He also successfully developed both post players (1997-2003) and perimeter players (2003-2007). Post players Bakari Hendrix (1998) and Casey Calvary (2001) were both WCC Players of the Year. Perimeter players he worked with included Derek Raivio (2007), the WCC Player of the Year; Adam Morrison (2006), a 1st team All-American and WCC Player of the Year; and Blake Stepp (2004), a 2nd team All-American and twotime WCC Player of the Year. Grier started his coaching career at his alma mater, Cottage Grove High School in 1986. After serving two years as a freshman coach, Grier was elevated to junior varsity coach and varsity assistant. Grier left Cottage Grove to be the head coach at Creswell High School during the 1990-91 season. He played two years in junior college (Central Oregon and Southwestern Oregon), then transferred to Oregon where he received a B.S. degree in Leisure Studies and Services in 1990. Bill and his wife, Nicole (Styles) were married in August of 1996. The couple have two daughters, Giselle and Ashley.

BILL CARR ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

THIRD SEASON

Bill Carr enters his third year as Associate Head Coach on Bill Grier’s staff. As Grier’s Associate Head Coach, Carr plays an important role with all aspects of the Torero basketball program, including recruiting, scheduling, scouting, practice preparation, coaching USD’s forwards and centers, and with in-game decision making. In 2007-08 he played a key role in USD’s success as the Toreros finished 22-14 overall (11-3 in WCC, 3rd place), won the WCC Tournament title, and advanced to the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament. The Toreros stunned No. 15 UCONN in the first round giving USD its first ever NCAA Tournament victory. San Diego also garnered top-20 victories over Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s, along with an impressive road win over the Kentucky Wildcats at historic Rupp Arena. Carr came to USD from nearby UC San Diego where he had been the head coach for Tritons program for three years. In his second season at the helm, Carr guided the Tritons to a 15-14 record in 2005-06. It marked the program’s first winning season since the Tritons moved to the NCAA Division II ranks back in 2000-01. Carr returns to the West Coast Conference where he was a player and assistant coach at the University of San Francisco. Carr played two years (1985-87) at USF for former San Diego head coach Jim Brovelli. The first year was the “Back to Basketball” group that marked the restart of the program after a three-year hiatus. Carr earned a degree in Accounting and went on to spend nine years as an assistant at USF for Brovelli (5 years) and Phil Mathews (4 years). He helped land 10 first team All-WCC performers, including the 1998 and 2000 WCC Freshmen of the Year. USF advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1998 after winning the West Coast Conference Tournament championship. Before getting the head position at UC San Diego, Carr served two seasons as the associate head coach at Long Beach State, and three as the head coach at Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama. A native of Glendale, Calif., Carr accumulated a career mark of 84-23 (.785) at Spring Hill, leading the Badgers to three appearances in the NAIA National Tournament. In 2000 and 2001, Spring Hill advanced to the NAIA “Elite Eight”. In his first season (1999-00) Carr led Spring Hill to a 29-8 mark, a Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC) championship and a trip to the NAIA Tournament, where it advanced to the final eight. Carr was named GCAC Coach of the Year that season and was a finalist for the NAIA National Coach of the Year. Bill and his wife, Pam, have three children - Allie, Madison and Paul.

MIKE BURNS ASSISTANT COACH

SECOND SEASON

Mike Burns enters his second year as a full-time assistant coach on Bill Grier’s staff. “Mike is a terrific addition to our staff,” stated USD head coach Bill Grier. “His years of recruiting experience and contacts will be a valuable asset in building our program. His personality will blend well with our staff and our players will love his enthusiasm for the game. I also know people on campus and in the community will find Mike to be very engaging and genuine. When adding to the staff I felt it was important to hire someone that is a seasoned recruiter as well as someone that would fit in well with the chemistry of our staff and players. Mike has those qualities. And, to have another person on our staff with Division I head coaching experience is such a plus”. Burns, 47, led Community Colleges of Spokane in 2007-08 to a No. 1 ranking in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges and a second-place finish at the NWAACC Tournament. His team finished with a 30-2 overall record and had a 24-game winning streak snapped with a one point loss in the title game against Yakima Valley CC. He was named the NWAACC coach of the year, and the NWAACC East Region coach of the year. Prior to CCS, Burns spent three seasons (2004-07) as the head coach of the Eastern Washington University men’s basketball program. In 2006-07 he led the Eagles to a 15-14 mark, while in 2005-06 EWU finished 15-15 overall and 9-5 in the Big Sky, good for a third place finish. That club led the Big Sky Conference and ranked third in NCAA Division I scoring with an average of 84.2 points per game. The team also was sixth nationally in field goal percentage (49.5%) and sixth in assists (17.7). While at EWU, Burns coached Rodney Stuckey, who went on to be selected No. 15 overall in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons. Burns spent the 2003-04 season as an assistant at Washington State University under Dick Bennett after spending the previous three years at EWU as an assistant coach on Ray Giacoletti’s staff. While at Washington State, he helped the Cougars finish with six more victories than the previous season, and the team qualified for the conference tournament for the first time since 1990, when all 10 schools qualified. Under Giacoletti at EWU, Burns served as the team’s recruiting coordinator, coached perimeter players and was responsible for team defense. Eastern won 58 percent of its games overall (52-37) and 68 percent in conference play (30-14) in that three-year stretch en route to garnering the school’s first-ever berth in the National Invitation Tournament in 2003 and first-ever NCAA Tournament berth the following season. In April 2002, following his second season at the helm of the Eagles, Giacoletti promoted Burns to associate head coach. Burns has deep roots in the state of Washington, having graduated from Tyee High School and Central Washington University. He held coaching stints at both of his alma maters, as well as Highline Community College in Des Moines, Wash. Burns and his wife, Mary, are the parents of two-year-old twins - Bode and Kylie.

KYLE BANKHEAD ASSISTANT COACH

THIRD SEASON

Kyle Bankhead, who played under Grier at Gonzaga, enters his third year as a full-time assistant coach. His responsibilities include overseeing academics, working with the development of the guards, scouting opponents and recruiting. In 2007-08 he played a key role in USD’s success as the Toreros finished 22-14 overall (11-3 in WCC, 3rd place); won the WCC Tournament and advanced to the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament after upsetting UConn in the tourney opener. Prior to USD, Bankhead spent two years at Gonzaga as an administrative assistant. Bankhead walked on at Gonzaga for the 1999-00 season and red shirted. He played four years (2000-04) for the Bulldogs with the team winning four straight WCC titles and advancing to the NCAA Tournament each year, including a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 2001. A three-time WCC All-Academic selection, Bankhead appeared in 121 career games. For his career he shot 45.7% from the field (219-479), 45.3% from three-point range (169-373), and 73.1% from the free throw line (76-104). He ranks 7th all-time in three-pointers made with 169. After earning his degree in Sports Management, Bankhead played in Germany for one year (200405), before returning to Gonzaga for the 2005-06 season.


DREW MOSER DIRECTOR OF BASKETBALL OPERATIONS

THIRD SEASON

Drew Moser is entering his third year on the Toreros’ staff. He was recently promoted to the position of Director of Basketball Operations. The past two years as administrative assistant, Drew’s primary responsibilities included video coordination, conducting walk-on workouts, camp instruction, and helping with the day-to-day operations of the program. During the 2006-07 season, Moser was the head coach at Davenport High School, located about 30 miles west of Spokane, Washington. A native of Spokane, Washington, Moser prepped at Saint George’s where he is second on the team in all-time scoring with 1,723 points. He went on to play four years (2001-05) at the University of Redlands. During his senior year the high-octane Bulldogs squad set an all-time, alldivision national scoring record with an average of 132.4 points per game. He graduated from the University of Redlands in 2005 with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration.

With the Toreros, Bryce conducts film exchange and helps out with other aspects of the program. Prior to arriving at USD, Douglas attended the University of Puget Sound, where he played basketball for the last four years. During his time at Puget Sound, the Loggers won 80% of their games, while also making runs to the Elite 8 during 2005-06 and to the Sweet 16 during 2008-09 in the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championship. Douglas is originally from Tacoma, Washington.

24 TORERO PREVIEW – A SOLID MIX OF EXPERIENCE & YOUTH Third-year head coach Bill Grier and his coaching staff enter the 2009-10 campaign with a sense of excitement as they return nine players from last year’s 16-16 ball club, and welcome seven new recruits. With a good mixture of experience and youth, the coaches were impressed with the team’s chemistry heading into the season. The squad will have good depth with improved quickness and athleticism. The main focus early on will be in establishing a team identity and figuring out where all the newcomers are going to fit in. USD received good news over the summer when senior guard Brandon Johnson (Houston, TX) was granted an additional year after he suffered a season-ending injury in game eight against SDSU. Johnson heads into his 5th-year with career averages of 13.2 points, 4.0 assists and 1.9 steals per game. With 1,385 career points (5th all-time) and 425 assists (2nd all-time), he will make a run at topping both of these school records in 2009-10. With the graduation of Gyno Pomare, a three-time WCC 1st team performer and the school’s all-time leading scorer (1,725 points)and Division I rebounder (864), along with Rob Jones (9.5 points/5.5 rebounds) leaving the program, the Toreros will look for the following returners to step up their production at both ends of the floor. Senior wing De’Jon Jackson (Fresno, CA), the team’s most consistent performer, averaged 8.9 points a year ago. He solidified the Torero backcourt in the second half of the season by moving to the point, and ranked second on the team in assists (63) and steals (27). The senior class is rounded out by fifth-year forward Chris Lewis (Bedford, TX) who averaged 4.4 points per game, and second-year center Roberto Mafra (Recife, PE, Brazil) who chipped in with 5.0 points per game and 33 blocked shots. Stated head coach Bill Grier on his returning seniors, “Brandon Johnson is a big key to this year and every day he gets closer and closer to a 100 percent, so I’m hoping by the time we open up he’ll be ready to roll. De’Jon Jackson is a guy that has had a tremendous off-season. With those two guys at the guard spot you have confidence as a coach because you have an experienced backcourt. We’ll have good leadership with two toughnosed guards in Brandon and De’Jon, along with Chris Lewis, a fifth-year player, and Roberto Mafra who was playing his best basketball at the end of last season.” USD also returns several players that played significant minutes a year ago. Second-year junior guard Matt Dorr (Spokane, WA) earned 30 starts, seeing action at all three perimeter positions, including point guard when Brandon went down with his season-ending injury. Dorr averaged 6.5 points, converted 40% of his three-point attempts and led the team with 70 as-

SENIOR GUARD BRANDON JOHNSON sists. Junior guard Devin Ginty (Alta, CA) appeared in all 32 games with 8 starts and averaged 3.7 points while converting just under 80% of his free throws. Junior forward Clinton Houston (Dallas, TX), who played in 21 games with 5 starts, will be counted on heavily to rebound and defend. Two returning walkons will compete for playing time – sophomore guard Ryan Harbour (Hinsdale, IL) and freshman guard Mitch Woolpert (San Luis Obispo, CA). The USD coaching staff also welcomes their first “true” recruiting class with seven newcomers. The group includes five freshmen, one JC transfer and one Division I transfer. The freshman class includes 6-1 guard Cameron Miles (Dallas, TX), 6-2 combo guard Patrick McCollum (Tacoma, WA), 6-4 two-guard Jordan Mackie (Los Angeles, CA), 6-5 wing Ken Rancifer (Oakland, CA) and 6-8 post player Chris Manresa (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA). Rafael Crescencio (Sao Paulo, Brazil), a 6-9 post player comes to USD from Arizona Western College in Yuma and will provide much needed depth inside. Chris Gabriel (Cape Town, South Africa), a 6-10 post player has transferred in from New Mexico State and will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules.

Added Grier, “The off season was good for us. Pretty much half of our team is going to be new this year. We’ve brought in seven new guys and I’m excited about it. I like our young guys and they will have some veterans to look up to and learn from. I think that will be an advantage for them. Their willingness to listen to the veteran players has been a big key so far in their growth.” Cameron Miles, the younger brother of Utah Jazz guard CJ Miles, is a speedy guard that is adept in transition and the open floor. Patrick McCollum, who can play either guard position, has good scoring instincts along with great court vision and passing skills. Jordan Mackie is a long athletic guard with a great upside who can play above the rim. Ken Rancifer is a strong and athletic wing who can finish in transition and is a good rebounder. Chris Manresa has a good feel for scoring and has improved both his strength and skill over the summer. Rafael Crescencio is a long and skilled post player that will give the team much needed depth inside. Chris Gabriel, who will sit out this season, will help the team on a daily basis in practice with his size and post presence. USD also welcomes two walk-on guards in 6-1 sophomore Paolo Mancasola (Redding, CA; Shasta College) and 6-0 freshman Kyle Erickson (Kingston, WA; North Kitsap HS).

Once again the Toreros have put together a challenging schedule that will test them both at home and on the road. USD will face teams from the Pac-10, Big 12, Big East, SEC, Missouri Valley and Mountain West conferences. Non-conference home games include visits from Stanford, SDSU, New Mexico and Mississippi State. Neutral-site road games include Oklahoma, Houston, Southern Illinois and South Florida. USD also plays at the University of the Pacific and Fresno State. Key WCC home dates include Gonzaga on January 16th and Saint Mary’s College on February 18th. The 2010 WCC Championships will be held at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the second straight year from March 5-8. “Certainly this schedule will have us battle-tested by the time we get to West Coast Conference play,” said Grier. “With games against Stanford, Mississippi State, SDSU and New Mexico at home, our fans will get to see us play high quality teams. Additionally, games against Oklahoma, Houston, Southern Illinois and South Florida on a neutral court will be very challenging. Overall we will play teams from the Pac-10, SEC, Big East, Big 12, Conference USA, Missouri Valley and Mountain West conferences.” USD, which turned in a 6-8 record in the WCC standings a year ago, was picked to finish sixth in the 2009-10 West Coast Conference Preseason Coaches Poll. Senior guard Brandon Johnson was named to the ten-man All-WCC preseason team.

FACILITIES

TORERO STADIUM

Torero Stadium, celebrating its 45th anniversary, is the home of the University of San Diego Football and Soccer programs. The stadium, which underwent two phases of renovation, is perfect for an exciting athletic atmosphere inside its confines. These recent renovations were completed to host the WUSA San Diego Spirit, with over $3.5 million dollars spent to enlarge the seating areas and add spectator comforts. Torero stadium's capacity is now 7,000 for Pioneer Football League action, as well as West Coast Conference Soccer play. The South stands feature approximately 1,100 seats with press box facilities. The stands behind the East end seat approximately 1,900 fans after Phase Two of the renovations. The existing North stands, which hold about 3,000 fans, remained as they were. The South stands feature bleacher seats with backs for increased spectator comfort. The East and North stands are all bleacher seating. In 2001, the installation of the upgraded lighting system took place, giving Torero Stadium ample illumination for the numerous night events that take place at the stadium. The final steps included the paving of the pedestrian walkway that curves around three-quarters of the stadium, and the installation of a new state of the art sound system. The final piece of the renovations was a Daktronics video board that plays movie clips, replays, as well as scoreboard information. The playing surface is "Bullseye" Bermuda grass, with soccer dimensions measuring 118 yards x 72 yards, with football conforming to NCAA regulations. In the summer of 2008, Torero Stadium received a $250,000 field renovation, which included new Berma Sports turf and a new drainage and irrigation system.

USD WEIGHT ROOM

Prior to the 2003 campaign, the stadium received several significant additions. A “Turf Tech” synthetic grass surface was installed in the foul areas between first and third base. Secondly, a new press box was built at the top of Cunningham Stadium that keeps the central architectural theme of 16th century Spanish Renaissance alive. In addition, a new public address system has been added. The playing surface consists of “Bullseye” Bermuda grass and the dirt portion of the infield is crushed red brick. In 2006 the stadium received a brand new scoreboard.

A lighted LED Daktronics scoreboard sits over the right field fence and allows fans to be updated on game stats. Stadium seating capacity is 325, and spectators are also comforted by a full-service concessions stand and public facilities.The stadium is also lighted, enabling night games. In addition, a new public address system has been added, as well as a press box down the third base line.


TORERO ATHLETICS... A TRADITION OF SUCCESS The University of San Diego has a long history of athletic success since making the jump from Division II to Division I back in 1979. The Toreros joined the West Coast Conference in 1979 and have remained loyal members of the conference ever since. The Toreros field 17 Division I teams with womens’ sports including: basketball, cross country, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and volleyball. Men’s sports include: baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, football, rowing, soccer and tennis. The Toreros football team competes in the Pioneer Football League; the swimming and diving team compete in the Western Athletic Conference and the softball team competes in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference as the WCC does not sponsor these particular sports. In the mid to late 1980’s, the Torero athletics teams splashed on the national scene placing the small private school from Southern California on the map. In 1984, the Torero men’s basketball team made its debut in the national spotlight winning the WCC Championship and making its inaugural appearance in the NCAA tournament. Three years later, the men’s basketball team would again make an appearance in the NCAA Tournament after once again claiming the WCC championship. The Torero men’s basketball team made its third appearance in the field of 64 after pulling off an upset win in the WCC Tournament championship game over heavily favored Gonzaga University in 2003 to receive the conference’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. The men’s basketball to also made a trip to the big dance in 2008, after once again upsetting Gonzaga in the WCC Tournament Championship game. The USd made history as the 13th-seeded Torero knocked off fourth -seeded UCONN, 70-69, to advance to the second round of the tournament for the first time. The success of Torero athletics was not limited to the men’s basketball team. Several other teams began to splash on the national scene with the men’s tennis program becoming the next athletic program to enter the NCAA postseason. In 1989 and 1990 the men’s tennis team dominated the WCC and not only made it into the NCAA postseason, but advanced on to the second round in both seasons. Since then, the men’s tennis program has maintained that success making five more appearances into the postseason with trips in 1995, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 1990, four-time All-American Jose Luis Noriega enjoyed a lot of success advancing all the way to the quarterfinals in singles play, and in 2005 Pierrick Ysern was the national runner-up in singles play. The tennis success was not limited to the men, as the Torero women have also seen success in the NCAA postseason, making eight trips to the postseason since the move to Division I in 1979. The women’s tennis teams have made appearances from 1989-92, and 1995-99 with the 1989, 1990, 1997 and 1999 squads advancing into the second round. Like the men’s program, the women have sent numerous individuals to the postseason with four-time NCAA All-American Zuzana Lesenarova claiming the national championship in 1999, giving USD it’s first national championship at the Division I level. In the early 1990’s, Torero athletics began to succeed in other sports as well with arguably the highlight coming in the 1992 season when the men’s soccer team became the national runner-up to the University of Virginia. The men’s soccer team however was no stranger to the postseason having made it’s inaugural appearance in the College Cup Tournament in 1990. Since then the Toreros have made nine more appearances in the postseason, advancing to the second round three times. In 1993, the women’s volleyball team began to make a lot of noise making their inaugural appearance in the postseason. The Toreros have since

enjoyed 13 appearances in the postseason with the 2004 and 2006 squads advancing as far as the Sweet 16, and won five conference championships. In 1993, the women’s basketball team had one of its most successful season’s in program history as they made their inaugural trip into the NCAA Tournament after claiming the WCC Tournament Championship. The Toreros have since made two more trip to the “Big Dance” in 2000 and in 2008. In 2000, USD pulled off a major upset in the WCC Championship game against heavily favored and top-seeded Pepperdine University. The Toreros then had their most successful season in program history during the 2006-07 season, eclipsing the 20-win mark, to a program best 21-9 finish, a program-best 2nd place finish in the WCC and a berth into the WNIT. Then in 2008, the Toreros once again got to the NCAA Tournament by defeating top-seeded Gonzaga in the WCC Championship game. The Women’s soccer program began to enjoy success in the mid 1990’s. In 1996 they not only made their inaugural trip the College Cup Tournament, but advanced to the second round. Then from 1999-2004 the women’s soccer team was a consistent participant in the postseason with the 1999 and 2004 squads advancing on to the second round. In 2007, the women’s soccer team recorded a program-best 15-3-3 and received a program-best No. 9 national ranking, while finishing second in the WCC and returning to the NCAA Tournament. After the turn of the century, the success of Torero athletics has continued. In 2002 and 2003 ,the baseball program made its mark in the postseason after capturing back-to-back WCC Championships and advancing to the NCAA Regionals both seasons to become the first baseball team in the Division I era to make the postseason. The baseball team has continued that success in 2006 as they earned their first at-large berth into the NCAA postseason and in 2007 the Toreros reached a program-best No. 4 national ranking and a No. 8 national seed in the NCAA Regionals after capturing the 2007 WCC crown. The baseball team then won the WCC Championship again in 2008 and reached the Regional championship game for the first time in program history. The women’s swimming team, which competes in the WAC, has shown recent success as they have sent individuals to the postseason in 2003, 2004 and 2006. In all three seasons Ashley Swart competed for USD in the 400 IM and 200 breast with her highest finish coming in the 2003 season when she placed 11th nationally in the 400 IM. The USD football team has found recent success as well as they claimed the PFL championship in the 2005 season after posting a program-best 11-1 record. They finished ranked No. 1 in the final Sports Cup Division FCS (formerly I-AA) mid-major poll, and duplicated that record in 2006 for their second consecutive PFL championship and second mid-major national championship. The USD golf team made its inaugural appearance in the NCAA Postseason in 2006 and won their first WCC championship in 2008.

WHAT ABOUT THE NICKNAME?

In 1961, the Most Reverend Bishop Buddy, the founding father of USD, announced that the school’s nickname would change from the Pioneers to the Toreros. “The name Toreros is keeping with the friendly relationship which exists between San Diego and Mexico,” his excellency said at the time. Torero comes from the Spanish term toro, the bull, and from the word torear, to fight bulls. All of the contestants in the ring are called toreros. Torero is a general term describing a bullfighter and signifies courage, honor and fidelity. USD student-athletes, like the Torero, represent a willingness to stand alone in the ring and accept the challenge.

NCAA COMPLIANCE

I want to play Division I intercollegiate athletics at San Diego… What do I need to do in order to play at San Diego as a freshman? If you intend to participate in Division I or II athletics as a freshman, you must register and be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. Your high school counselors should provide you with a student-release form and a brochure titled, “NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete.” In order to be registered with the clearinghouse, you must complete the student-release form and mail the top (white) copy of the form to the clearinghouse along with the $50 registration fee. Give the yellow and pink copies of the form to a high-school official, who then sends the yellow copy, along with an official copy of your high-school transcript that includes your SAT or ACT score(s), to the clearinghouse. Your high school should keep the pink copy for its files. You may also register online at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net. After graduation and before the school closes for the summer, your school also must send the clearinghouse a copy of your final transcript that confirms graduation from high school. Your counselors can obtain registration materials, at no cost, by calling the clearinghouse at (319) 337-1492 or (877) 262-1492. How do I know if I’m being recruited? You become a “prospective student-athlete” when you start ninth-grade classes. Before the ninth grade, you become a prospective student-athlete if a college gives you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the college does not provide prospective students generally. You become a “recruited prospective student-athlete” at a particular college if any coach approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches that cause you to become a recruited prospective student-athlete are (1) providing you with an official visit; (2) placing more than one telephone call to you or any other member of your family; or (3) visiting you or any other member of your family anywhere other than the college campus.

following circumstances: (1) during the five days immediately before your official visit by the college you will be visiting; (2) on the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with you by that coach; (3) on the initial date for signing the National Letter of Intent in your sport through two days after the initial signing date; and (4) you (or your parents) may telephone a coach at your expense as often as you wish. After a National Letter of Intent is signed, unlimited calls may be placed to the prospect. Off-Campus Contacts: A college coach may contact you in person off the college campus only on or after July 1 after the completion of your junior year in high school. The contact must take place on the prospect’s high school campus and follow restrictions on the sport’s recruiting calendar. A contact is any face-to-face meeting between a college coach or athletics staff member and you or your parents, during which any of you say more than “hello.” Also, any such face-to-face meeting that is prearranged or that takes place on your campus, at an organized competition or practice involving you or your high school, preparatory school, two-year college or all-star team shall be considered a contact, regardless of the conversation. However, a college coach may visit your high school (with the approval of your high school principal) only once a week during contact period. Evaluations: An evaluation is any off-campus activity used to assess your academic qualifications or athletics ability, including a visit to your high school (during which no contact occurs) or watching you practice or compete at any site. In football, a coach has three evaluation opportunities and six contact opportunities. Once you sign a National Letter of Intent, you may be evaluated an unlimited number of times by a college coach from the college with which you have signed.

Boosters: In addition to general recruiting regulations, no alumni, boosters or representatives of a college’s athletics interests can be involved in your recruitment. There can be no phone calls or letters from boosters. If a USD booster is contacting you, please call the San Diego Compliance Office as soon as possible at (619) 260-7577. Don’t risk your NCAA eligibility!

Letters: Letters and printed recruiting information may be sent to you starting September 1st at the beginning of your junior year in high school. However, you may still contact a university prior to this date to receive general (non-athletic related) information. You may also complete an athletic questionnaire prior to this date.

When can I talk to the coach and have him/her see me play?

What Can I Receive from San Diego? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangement, such as cash, clothing, camp, improper expenses, transportation, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or attend an NCAA college.

Telephone Calls: In Football, a prospect may receive one phone call in May of the prospects junior year in high school and may start receiving additional calls after September 1 of your senior year. After this, a college coach is limited to one telephone call per week to you (or your parents or legal guardians), except that unlimited calls to you (or your parents or legal guardians) may be made under the

A Message From President Lyons The University of San Diego is very proud of the student-athletes that represent our institution on 17 men's and women's NCAA Division-I athletic teams. These are proud and serious competitors, honored to represent the University. The dedication you witness on the playing fields, on the court, on the course, or in the water is greatly matched in the classrooms, the laboratories, on stage, or in the community. Last year thirty-nine percent of our student-athletes carried a grade-point average above 3.2, and 11 of our teams had a cumulative grade-point average above 3.0. Athletics is vital to the University of San Diego, a way students, faculty, staff and alumni come together as one community. I am both a university president and a Torero fan; I look forward to sharing the excitement of Torero athletics with our many fans.
