2 CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS 2010 Women’s Water Polo

2010 WOMEN'S WATER POLO OUTLOOK

May 14-16, in San Diego. In order to make it to the NCAAs, Corso’s squad must either win, or finished in the top half of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament in Los Angeles at the end of April-early May.

Cal was extremely close to qualifying

The 2010 California women’s water polo team is a senior-laden squad that is ready to springboard off of last

year’s 31-8 mark – the most single-season wins in school history. Head coach Richard Corso’s troops feature 2009 third-team

Sophomore DriverEmily Csikos

EXPERIENCE KEY FOR GOLDEN BEAR

SUCCESS IN 2010

All-America selections Meghan Corso and Camille Hewko, plus honorable mention All-America picks Emily Csikos, Stephanie Schnugg and goalie Stephanie Peckham. The Golden Bears’ goal for this season is simple, advance to the NCAA Tournament,

Senior DriverMeghan Corso


Sophomore Goalie Stephanie Peckham

for the NCAA tournament last year. After defeating San Jose State, 12-8, in the first round of the MPSF Tournament to earn their 31st win, the Bears dropped a 7-4 decision to No. 1-ranked USC. Cal then lost an 8-7 heartbreaker to UCLA in the tournament third-place match, essentially knocking the Bears out of an NCAA at-large berth. UCLA went on to win the 2009 national title.

Cal again has the talent to accomplish its goal of advancing to the NCAAs for the first time since the school competed in the na-tional tournament in 2000 (before women’s water polo had an NCAA championship). Senior driver Corso is back after leading the Bears with 66 goals last season, while senior utility Hewko was third on the squad with 54 goals and was also second-team All-MPSF and MPSF All-Tournament. Corso has now scored 131 goals in her college career, placing her seventh on the school’s all-time career scoring list, and Hewko owns 73 career goals.

Talented sophomore driver Csikos was outstanding for Canada this past summer at FINA World Championships in Rome, scor-ing 15 goals in seven matches. She battled former Cal standouts and USA Olympians Elsie Windes and Heather Petri in the finals of the World Championships (Team USA won 7-6), helping Canada to it first FINA final since 1991. Csikos was second on the Cal squad with 65 goals and was a member of the 2009 MPSF All-Freshman Team. Senior utility Schnugg tallied 26 goals in 2009 and was also honorable mention All-MPSF, while

The Bears have four other seniors – Remy Champion, Julie Oreglia, Erin Scully and goalie Elizabeth Layton – who are sure to make an impact as Cal strives for an NCAA Tournament appearance this season. Oreg-lia, a 5-11 utility player, is second among the Bear seniors with 83 career goals, including 51 goals in 2009. Champion comes into the year with 47 career goals and Scully has 33 career goals.

Cal includes a pair of sophomores who tallied a significant number of goals last year in driver Lauren Barron (26 goals) and Eliza-beth McLaren (23 goals). The Bears also bring in a strong freshman class that features Canadians Breda Vosters, Kirsten Mase and Lauren Bridges, plus Dana Ochsner from Oceanside, Calif. Vosters, Mase and Bridges all helped the Canadian Junior National Team win a gold medal at the 2008 Junior PanAm Games, while Ochsner was a 2009 CIF Player of the Year and is a three-year member of the USA Junior National Team.

Rounding out the 2010 Cal squad is junior Laura Wood, who notched 13 goals last season, redshirt freshman goalie Lindsay Dorst, sophomore Jessica Robinson and true freshmen Taylor Dodson, Remington Price and Jennifer Docto.

“We are in way better position than any other time since I’ve been here to not only make it to the NCAA tournament, but to vie for a national title,” said Corso. “It takes time to develop a high-level program, but the cul-ture has changed and everything associated with this team has gotten better.”

Senior Utility Stephanie Schnugg

sophomore goalie Peckham notched 305 saves as a freshman last spring, establishing a new school record for single-season saves as a first-year player. Schnugg, daughter of Cal’s first NCAA Player of the Year in men’s water polo, Peter Schnugg, enters 2010 with 51 career goals.

Senior Utility Camille Hewko


CAL COACHING STAFFRudic, Pete Cutino, Bob Horn and Art Lam-bert. He served as the United States Men’s Olympic Team head coach from 1992-96, leading the United States to a seventh-place finish at the 1996 games in Atlanta and a gold medal at the 1995 Pan American Games. The 1996 Olympic team included current Cal men’s coach Kirk Everist, and other former Bear standouts Gavin Arroyo, Troy Barnhart, Chris Humbert and Chris Oeding.

Prior to assuming his role with Team USA, Corso served as head coach of the Canadian National Team, which finished fourth at the 1991 Pan American Games. He also gained international experience as the head coach of the USA National Junior Team (1984 to 1988), and as goalkeeper coach for the 1984 silver medal-winning and 2004 Olympic teams.

Just before taking the Cal position, Corso had served as head of the Harvard-Westlake School Aquatic Program in Los Angeles from 1986-2005. In that role, he was responsible for virtually all aspects of the nation’s premier high school squad. Since 1986, Harvard-Westlake water polo teams had combined to win 40 league championships, two CIF titles and seven CIF silver medals and five semifinal finishes. Additionally, 82 Harvard-Westlake student-athletes were named to All-America squads. Corso was named CIF Coach of the Year four times and California Coach of the Year in 1992. He also served as Harvard-Westlake’s Associate Director of Admissions.

“We are ecstatic to have attracted an ind iv idual o f Richard’s talent and accomplishments,” said Cal Director of Athletics Sandy Barbour. “He has a tremendous re-cord of success at the highest levels of the sport. He also truly understands our mission at Cal. I am confident that our women’s water polo program will now take its place among our menu of successful inter-collegiate athletic programs.”

Corso began his head coaching ca-reer at Yale, where he led a club-varsity squad, and had pre-

vious coaching stops at UCLA, where he was assistant men’s swimming and water polo coach. During his 10 years at UCLA, Corso helped the men’s swim team to an NCAA runner-up finish in 1981 and an NCAA title in 1982, and an NCAA runner-up finish in men’s water polo in 1979.

Taking over as the United States National Team coach following the 1992 Olympics, Corso inherited a squad that had lost eight of 13 members. He brought a new level of collaboration with the United States Olympic Committee to the sport, and emphasized the importance of sport science, sports psychol-ogy and computer-video tape analysis that was demonstrated to all of the USA water polo coaches. Corso led his 1996 Olympic team to within one goal of the medal round in Atlanta, losing to gold-medalist Spain. His energy, preparation, commitment and professionalism will have a lasting influence on American water polo for years to come.

A native of Queens, New York, Corso swam and played water polo at Southern Connecticut University, earning a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1977. He then completed his master’s in kinesiology at Cal State Northridge in 1982, and earned a second master’s degree in coaching science from Moscow State University in 1999. Corso and his wife, Catherine, a first-grade teacher, have two children – daughters Meredith, an instructor at Los Angeles City College, and Meghan, a standout senior on the 2010 Cal women’s water polo team.

RICHARD CORSO Head Coach • Fifth Year

One of the most highly respected and successful water polo coaches in the world is now in his fifth year as a member of the Golden Bear family.

Richard Corso, who has served as head coach for both the United States Men’s Olym-pic Team and the Canadian Men’s National Team, was selected in August 2005 to be the mentor for the University of California women’s water polo program. Corso not only offers a superior knowledge of the sport of water polo, he possesses a competitive at-titude that is sure to get the most out of his student-athletes.

“The opportunity to coach at the world’s premier public university, and to work with student-athletes that are ranked in the top 10 of all Division I schools is an Olympic coach’s dream,” said Corso. “Cal’s teams foster a special culture that values academics and athletic success.”

In addition to his duties on the pool deck, Corso also serves as a member of Cal’s Sports Medicine Committee. Additionally, he is the chairman of the Coaches’ Advisory Committee.

In 2009, Corso led the Bears to their most single-season wins (31-8) in school history, while Cal’s five All-Americans – Meghan Cor-so, Camille Hewko, Emily Csikos, Stephanie Schnugg and goalie Stephanie Peckham – tied for the most All-America selections in a single year. In his tenure at Cal, Corso (79-39, .669) has helped mentor a member of the 2008 USA Olympic Women’s Water Polo Team (Elsie Windes), 10 All-Americans and nine MPSF All-League selections.

One of water polo’s most innovative think-ers in terms of training and match tactics, Corso’s creed is defensive, attacking water polo. He is a student of the game and has worked for the best American and European coaches. Corso learned from great coaches of the era such as Monte Nitzkowski, Ratko


MATT FLESHERAssistant Coach • First Year

Matt Flesher, a standout water polo player at UCLA who has been an assistant coach for both the Bruins’ men’s and women’s water polo programs the past four years, was named an as-sistant coach for the Cal women’s water polo team on July 7, 2009.

This past May, Flesher, 29, helped guide the UCLA women to their fifth consecutive NCAA title with a 5-4 victory over No. 1 seed USC. In his three seasons working with the Bruin women, UCLA compiled a 93-8 record, including a perfect 33-0 mark in 2008. During Flesher’s time assisting the Bruins, two players were the recipients of the Peter J. Cutino Award (named after the legendary Cal men’s water polo coach) as the national player of the year, 17 players were named All-Americans and 21 athletes were selected All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.

“Matt is a student of the game, an excellent recruiter and a great teacher,” said Cal’s head women’s water polo coach Richard Corso, the 1996 USA men’s Olympic coach. “His knowledge and passion for water polo is a one of his great-est qualities. Matt takes great pride in developing young players for elite teams and his record as a coach is outstanding. He will immediately have a positive impact on our team.”

In assisting the UCLA men’s water polo pro-gram, Flesher helped the Bruins to a 75-29 mark from 2005-08, coaching 19 players who were selected All-American and All-MPSF. In 2006, he was the head coach of the Los Angeles Water Polo Club’s 16-Under boy’s team that won the U.S. Water Polo National Championship.

As a collegiate player from 1999-2002, Flesher was a member of UCLA’s back-to-back national champions in 1999 and 2000. He was a two-time All-American and was twice named All-MPSF, finishing his college career with 81 goals. Flesher earned his degree in political science from UCLA in 2002.

Prior to coaching at UCLA, Flesher spent three seasons as a member of the U.S. National Team, competing at the 2003 World University Games and helping Team USA qualify for the 2005 World Championships. He also competed professionally for the Greek team, Ethnikos-Pireaus, in 2003 and 2004. Flesher was the head boy’s swimming coach and assistant boy’s water polo coach at Corona Del Mar High School in 2004-05 as well.

Flesher replaces Serela Kay, who left Cal to become the Team Leader for the USA Women’s National Team.

MAUREEN O’TOOLE-PURCELL Volunteer Asst. Coach • Third Year

Former U.S. Olympic standout Maureen O’Toole-Purcell joined the California women’s water polo team as a volunteer assistant coach in September 2007.

O’Toole-Purcell was Cal’s first women’s water polo head coach, guiding the team for three years from 1996-98. As the head coach of the Golden Bears, O’Toole-Purcell’s squads finished as national runners-up all three years, combining for an 83-18 overall record and an .822 winning percentage. She was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Northern Division Coach of the Year twice (1996, 1997) and helped produce some of the nation’s top players, including league and NCAA Tournament MVPs, MPSF Goalie of the Year, 14 All-Americans and 16 All-MPSF selections as well as two Olympic teammates, Courtney Johnson and Heather Petri.

Considered by many to be the greatest wom-en’s water polo player of all time, O’Toole-Purcell was a 15-time U.S. MVP, a six-time World MVP and a four-time national Sportswoman of the Year as named by the U.S. Olympic Committee. After coaching Cal from ’96-’98, she rejoined the USA national team where she became the oldest and only water polo over the age of 30 at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, helping the United States to a silver medal in the first Olympic competition for women’s water polo. Recently O’Toole-Purcell was selected by the NCAA as one of its Silver Anniversary Honorees and was acknowledged along with some of the biggest names in sports – Doug Flutie, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Deb Richard and Jack Del Rio – January 15, 2010 during the NCAA Convention in Atlanta.

O’Toole-Purcell earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Hawaii, where she was a top scholar-athlete with 3.65 GPA. In 1990, the Long Beach, Calif., native earned a master’s in education from Azusa Pacific. She is currently the head coach and technical director of the Diablo Water Polo Club, and led her team to gold at the 16 & Under National Junior Olympics. O’Toole-Purcell resides in Danville with her husband Jim, a three-time All-American at Cal and a key mem-ber of the 1975 and 1977 NCAA championship water polo teams, and her 18-year-old daughter, Kelly, one of the nation’s top high school players who will be a member of the Cal women’s water polo team next season.

DAVID WALDENCertified Athletic Trainer •

FRIENDS OF CAL AQUATICS

The Friends of Cal Aquatics is an organization of alumni, parents, and supporters of all four Cal Aquatics

programs-Men’s and Women’s Swimming & Diving and Water Polo teams. The Friends of Cal Aquatics fundraising committee works in conjunction with the Department of Intercol-legiate Athletics and the Cal Athletic Devel-opment office to raise necessary funds for the four Cal Aquatics programs. The support from the Friends of Cal Aquatics provides vital financial assistance in the form of an-nual gifts and contributions to endowment funds for student scholarships, as well as the day-to-day operating costs for the aquatics programs in perpetuity.

Friends of Cal Aquatics evolved from the efforts provided by four generous visionaries and alumni: Rick Cronk, Don Fisher, Warren Hellman and Ned Spieker, who founded the Splash Club Endowment Fund in the 1980’s by providing a leadership gift of matching funds which raised a total of $2 Million for the programs. Another prominent Cal Aquatics endowment fund was established in honor of the legendary Cal Swimming and Water Polo Coach Pete Cutino. The Peter J. Cu-tino Scholarship Fund currently enables the men’s water polo program the opportunity to attract nationally prominent water polo players to Cal.

The Cal Aquatics teams are traditionally the finest in the nation, but if these programs are to maintain the level of excellence they have enjoyed, new sources of revenue must

be found. The only way to insure competi-tive funding for the aquatics programs in the future is through your support of the Friends of Cal Aquatics. For further information on

Friends of Cal Aquatics, contact Alicia Row-ell in the Cal Athletic Development Office at 510-643-2746 or visit www.CalAquatics.com.

B erkeley is a part of the San Francisco Bay Area major metropoli-

tan area of approximately 7.2 million people. The region is one of the most beautiful in the world and includes the major cities of San Fran-cisco and Oakland, as well as Berkeley, home of the world-renowned University of California. Just south are San Jose and the Silicon Valley, home to many of the world’s high-tech companies. The Bay Area also lies within easy driving distance of the high Sierra resorts of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, the Monterey/Carmel peninsula, the world famous Napa wine country and the spectacular Mendocino Coast.

Everyone knows San Fran-cisco, a.k.a. “The City,” from the numerous photographs, movies and television shows that capture its magic and beauty. It is a city built on a series of more than 40 hills, offering panoramic views of every kind. The hub of a nine-county complex and the fi-nancial and insurance capital of the world, San Francisco has a resident population of just over 800,000 and is situated on a 46.7 square mile peninsula bounded on

The San Francisco Bay is spanned by two landmarks, the Golden Gate and San Francis-co-Oakland Bay bridges, and graced by four islands: Alcatraz, Angel, Yerba Buena and Treasure. The area is easily navigated by car, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), bus or ferry, making it easily accessible to all.

Located across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, Oakland is a city of over 400,000, jam-packed with exciting attractions, stimulating arts and an ideal climate. Oakland’s charm exceeds its man-made wonders, as its tumbling hills, vast forests, hiking and riding trails, beautiful lakes and numerous parks provide a natural escape for those who prefer nature over an urban environment.

Berkeley, just a 12-mile drive from San Francisco, is situated on 17.7 square miles with a population of just under 103,000 people. A study in contrasts, Berkeley is a small town with a big city character. With its world-renowned university, global population and rich diversity of cultural arts, Berkeley reflects and affects the rest of the country.

Sports fans can see it all in the Bay Area - professional football (San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders), professional basketball (Golden State Warriors), professional baseball (San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics), professional hockey (San Jose Sharks) and outstanding collegiate com-petition (six Division I schools).

SIMPLY THE BEST

T here is no other way to aptly describeAmerica’s top public university. There is no other way to describe one of the elite academic settings

in the world – especially one that also includes one of America’s most successful athletic departments.

The University of California blends the best of all worlds. Overlooking the scenic San Francisco Bay and ranked as the nation’s top public university by the U.S. News and World Report, the flagship campus of the state of California also features an athletic program that an-nually finishes among the leaders in the Directors’ Cup standings, which rates the overall success of America’s collegiate athletic departments.

Cal attracts what many believe to be the finest appli-cant pool in the United States. The university features a diverse student body population. The University of Cali-fornia offers 351 degree programs, and 35 of the school’s 36 graduate programs are ranked among America’s Top 10. Cal’s 35 programs among the Top 10 is No. 1 among all universities in the country, as is its 32 “distinguished” programs, as rated by the National Research Council.

The library is ranked third in the country, as judged by the Association of Research Libraries with 10 million volumes in 32 campus libraries.

The faculty features seven Nobel Laureates, 135 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 28 MacArthur Fellows, 74 Fulbright Scholars, four Pulitzer Prize winners and more Guggenheim Fellows (359) than any other university in America.

STUDENT-ATHLETE HIGH PERFORMANCE CENTER

The Student-Athlete High Performance Center, now un-der construction, is expected to be completed prior to the 2011 season. The 142,000 square foot facility will house locker rooms, offices and meeting rooms, as well as areas for strength and conditioning, sports medicine, nutrition and academics for football and 12 other intercollegiate sports.

The building is the physical manifestation of Cal’s High Performance Initiative, a unique program that challenges student-athletes to reach their level of optimal performance through strategic and efficient application of resources. Using cutting-edge technology and a multidisciplinary ap-proach, the cornerstone principles of the HPI are communi-cation, integration and information.

MEMORIAL STADIUM RENOVATION

Memorial Stadium, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful settings for collegiate football, was originally constructed with funds donated by alumni, faculty, students and fans. At the time, Robert Gordon Sproul, who became UC president in 1930, said that the stadium “stands in sim-ple dignity, beauty and strength.”

Now, plans are being finalized to renovate the 86-year-old structure, starting with the west side, to create programmat-ic, game day and fan amenity improvements while respect-ing the architecture and character of the historic structure.

Donors have demonstrated their backing of the privately-funded project through their commitment to the Endowment Seat Program (ESP), a first-of-its-kind effort in major college athletics to secure the financial future for the Athletic Depart-ment. ESP will provide a long-term, sustaining endowment that could grow to $1 billion over the next 30 years and will be used to fund annual operating needs for Cal’s student-athletes.

2009-10 Athletic Study Center Staff

One of the real success stories for the University of California is the development and growth of a com-

prehensive academic support program for its student-athletes - the Athletic Study Center.

In 1984, campus officials and Athletic Department administrators decided that a greater emphasis needed to be placed on helping Cal student-athletes with their aca-demic pursuits. The Athletic Study Center was thus born and charged with developing an academic support program geared to the needs of NCAA Division I student-athletes. It was a significant development for an aca-demically oriented institution such as Cal to recognize the special needs required for a modern student-athlete’s success both as an athletic competitor on the field of play and in the classroom.

PROGRAM FOR STUDENT-ATHLETESThe Athletic Study Center, which is housed

within the Division of Undergraduate Educa-tion, is the tutorial and academic support program for the nearly 1,000 student-athletes at Cal. Centrally located in the Cesar Chavez Student Center, the program provides a spa-cious and comfortable arboretum for quiet study, separate classrooms for individual and group tutorials, and a computer lab for word processing and required course work.

Geared around the understanding of the amount of time student-athletes must de-vote to practice, training, physical therapy and team travel, the program creates an environment where students can cultivate good study habits, receive individual or group tutoring and obtain counseling from academic advisors.

TUTORIAL PROGRAMThe Tutorial Program promotes and en-

hances students’ academic skills and prog-ress by providing individual tutoring, group workshops, study groups, credit courses and intensive special programs. The Athletic Study Center has between 50-60 tutors on staff per semester to guarantee that students receive the best possible support. Tutorial sessions are also offered at night enabling student-athletes to receive help after prac-tices when they have more time to devote to studying.

ADVISING PROGRAMThe Advising Program offers a broad

range of services to meet the unique needs of student-athletes, including assistance in understanding and complying with Univer-sity, college and NCAA requirements, devel-

oping time management skills and resolving personal issues unique to student-athletes.

During the freshman year, advisors typically try to help student-athletes make a successful academic transition from high school, while during the sophomore year, they assist student-athletes in making deci-sions on appropriate majors and fields of study. For the final two years, advisors take more of an exiting approach, ensuring that proper academic progress is being made towards graduation while referring juniors and seniors to areas on campus that can help with career planning.

SPECIAL PROGRAMSIn addition, the Athletic Study Center offers

a Summer Bridge adjunct program designed to help ease the transition from high school to college. The primary components for the pro-gram include writing and math workshops, an advising workshop, study skills seminars and an evening tutorial program.

Another special program offered is Peer Advising. Peer advisors provide academic and campus life guidance for new intercol-legiate student-athletes. They are selected from junior and senior student-athletes who assist in developing programs to further ad-dress the needs of student-athletes.

CHRIS GRACEAcademic Advisor

Chris Grace, a Cal graduate and five-year member of the women’s water polo team, serves as the team’s personal academic advisor. Grace helps the team select classes and majors, develop

time management skills, and she assists the Golden Bears in understanding and complying with university, college and NCAA standards. Grace earned both her bachelor’s (American studies) as well as her master’s (education) degrees from Cal. During her time as a student-athlete (1997-2001), Grace served as a peer advisor and graduate assistant advisor in the Athletic Study Center.

An integral part of the Cal Women’s Water Polo program and its suc-cess is the strength and con-

ditioning program, led by Nick Folker and assistants, who supervise the comprehensive operation for the Golden Bear team. The program’s philosophy is geared towards helping each student-athlete achieve the highest level of athletic development.

By teaching how all the components of strength and conditioning fit together, student-athletes understand how to maximize force production. This includes enhancement of speed, strength and flexibility, which results in improved power. Motivating, educating and helping to reach maximum athletic development

is the primary focus of the Cal program.The Cal weight room includes eight

Olympic platforms and an array of aerobic and anaerobic equipment. The picturesque facility offers panoramic views of the entire region, including San Francisco and the Bay. The training regimen at Cal is a year-round process that emphasizes the speed, strength and flexibility. With closely monitored work-outs that involve a great deal of individual instruction and attention, student-athletes are taught the correct techniques to increase peak performance during competition.

Cal’s program stresses comprehensive training in order to improve both strength and speed. Flexibility is a key component because it is essential for proper lifting.

Athlete workouts are closely monitored

by the conditioning staff who work in collaboration with the entire sports medic ine team (doctors, athletic trainers, physical therapists, nutri-tionists, etc.) to ensure the health and safety of all of student-athletes.

In this way, Cal’s strength and conditioning program is a vital component linking the “full circle” of a student-athlete’s physical development from conditioning through rehabilitation and reconditioning.

THE HOME OF CHAMPIONS

Serving as home to the California water polo and swimming teams is the Spieker Aquatics Complex, one

of the finest outdoor facilities in the country. Located on the corner of Dana and Bancroft on the south side of Haas Pavilion, the one million dollar facility was completed in the fall

of 1982. It was made possible th rough the Cal Sports ’80s p ro j ec t and was named af-ter former Cal water polo let-terman Edward “Ned” Spieker, who provided the major por-t i o n o f t h e funds for the project.

The facility replaced the a n t i q u a t e d Harmon Pool, which served

as the home for California aquatics for 50 years. The primary aspect of the extensive remodeling project was the joining of the two previously existing tanks to provide for the 50-meter by 25-yard pool of deep water, suitable for major national and international water polo and swimming championships. Spieker Aquatics Complex has served as the site of the United States Senior National Water Polo Championship in 1984 and ’86, the National Qualifying Tournament for col-legiate women’s water polo in 1997 and 2000, the men’s Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament in 2000, and most

recently the 2005 MPSF Women’s Water Polo Championship.

One thing that has not changed with the Bears move into Spieker is Cal’s dominance at home. Between 1976 and ’81, the Bears men’s water polo team lost just one league match at home. In 1991 and ’92, the Cal men went through the home season unbeaten, winning all 19 of its matches at Spieker. The Cal women’s water polo team played its first home matches as a varsity sport in Spieker during the 1996 season and have compiled a home record of 75-24 (.758) and went 5-2 at home in 2009.
