Sam CrossonHEAD COACH

Second Year • Pacific, 1997

Sam Crosson enters his second season at the helm of the Cal Poly volleyball program after serving as an assistant coach at the University of California for two years.

Crosson helped guide the Golden Bears to the program’s most successful season ever, winning a share of the Pac-10 title and advancing to the NCAA Championship match during the 2010 season. During that season, Cal tallied the most wins in school history (30) and produced two first-team All-Americans.

During the 2011 season, Cal posted a 26-7 overall record and advanced to the NCAA Tournament while concluding Pac-12 play with a 16-6 record.

His duties at Cal included responsibility for video and statistical analysis as well as designing the offensive and defensive systems. Additionally he served as the point person on player development, specifically setters and middle blockers.

Prior to his joining California, Crosson spent the previous five years as the top assistant coach at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif.

While at Saint Mary’s, he helped guide the Gaels to consecutive 20-win seasons including the second-best record in program history at 23-5. Saint Mary’s posted a perfect 13-0 mark at home and set school records with an 11-match winning streak and a 13-1 record in West Coast Conference matches, earning the program’s first-ever WCC title.

Crosson’s responsibilities as the top assistant with Saint Mary’s included serving as the recruiting coordinator, planning and executing practices, coordinating the offense, providing video and statistical analysis of practice and matches, and player development, including technical training for setters and middle blockers.

During his tenure as assistant coach with the Gaels, his recruiting classes were selected for high honorable mention by PrepVolleyball.com and included some of the top talent in the country.

At Saint Mary’s, the Gaels led the WCC in blocking each year and were second in the nation in blocks per set (3.82 bps) in 2005. In each of his first three seasons, a middle blocker under his direction was selected to the WCC All-Freshman Team (Shannon Lowell, 2007; Megan Burton, 2006; and Brittany Barker, 2005).

Sam CrossonPrior to his time at Saint Mary’s, Crosson spent the 2004 season as a volunteer assistant with the Santa Clara women’s volleyball team. Before joining the coaching ranks in collegiate women’s volleyball, Crosson spent five years as the top assistant coach for the men’s program at his alma mater, University of the Pacific.

While at Pacific, Crosson was responsible for recruiting, player development, video and statistical analysis and assisted in academic support.

As a player at Pacific, Crosson was part of four of the most successful seasons in Pacific volleyball history. He was a four-year letterman and earned team co-MVP honors in 1997. He is ranked in the top 10 in every statistical category and holds the number two spot in career digs (689), digs in a single season (274), and service aces (86).

After his collegiate career, Crosson played one season as a professional for Herentals Volleyball Club in Belgium.

Crosson received a bachelor’s degree in sports sciences at Pacific in 1997 and later earned a master’s degree from Pacific in sports sciences in 2005.

A native of Santa Cruz, Crosson and his wife, Courtney Miller, have two daughters, Makenna and Logan.

Chris TamasAssistant Coach

1st Season - Pacific '03

Head volleyball coach Sam Crosson announced the hiring of Chris Tamas this year as an assistant coach at Cal Poly. Tamas, an assistant with the University of Minnesota the last two years, joined the Mustang staff as the recruiting coordina-tor and is involved in all aspects of the program.

"I am excited and thankful that Chris is a part of our program here at Cal Poly,” said Crosson. “He brings with him a tremen-dous amount of experience, having competed at the highest level as a coach and player. He has the motivation, dedication, and knowledge of the game that will have a significant impact on our program.”

“Having the opportunity to coach Chris throughout his colle-giate career and watch his development as a coach, I am fully aware of his principles, values, and his desire for excellence. His core values will match that of the Mustang Way,” added Crosson

During his tenure at the University of Minnesota, the Gophers advanced to the Sweet Sixteen during the 2011 season and an Elite Eight appearance in 2012. While at Minnesota, Tamas oversaw the training of setters and scouting. With his help, the Gophers had the top-ranked offense in the Big Ten and was ranked eighth in the nation in kills per set in 2012. Tamas worked under two-time Olympic medal coach Hugh McCutch-eon in the 2012 season.

"I am blessed to have the opportunity to join the program,” said Tamas. “Cal Poly's academic and athletic mission is one I firmly believe in.”

Tamas added, “Having played for Sam, I know he has the drive and coaching ability to make Cal Poly one of the top-programs in the country and, on top of that, my wife and I have lived and traveled all over the world and this is truly one of the most beauti-ful areas that we have traveled to and it gives us a chance to be near family."

Prior to Minnesota, Tamas coached in the Big West Conference at UC Riverside under Ron Larsen (gold medal assistant coach, USA men's volleyball, 2008). For two seasons, Tamas was in charge of training the setters, scouting reports and recruiting du-ties.

Tamas brings a wealth of volleyball knowledge built throughout his collegiate and professional playing career. The 2003 Univer-sity of the Pacific graduate was a four-year starter and team cap-tain for the Tigers and played for Coach Crosson. He earned his bachelor’s degree in sports sciences in 2003.

Tamas is Pacific’s all-time record holder for assists (5,086) and third all-time for sets played (378). He is ranked in the top ten in service aces (84), digs (498), and block solos (31). Tamas was a unanimous first-team AVCA All-American selection in his senior season (2003) and was team MVP.

Tamas spent four years with the USA Men's National Team (1999, 2003, 2005-06) and played in 34 international matches. In 1999, Tamas helped the team to a silver medal at the World Ju-nior Championships in Havana, Cuba. In 2003, he was selected team captain and helped the team to a bronze medal at the World University Games in Daegu, South Korea.

In 2005 and 2006, Tamas was a part of the training squad which went on to win a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Bei-jing, China. In his two years with the team, he helped the squad to a silver medal in the 2005 World Grand Champions Cup in Japan, and as the setter, led the team to a gold medal in the 2006 NORCECA Championships in Mexicali, Mexico.

Tamas played professionally for six seasons (2003-09), includ-ing: Protect Eye Orion Volley in Doetinchem, Holland; Antigos Alunos Volley in Ponta Delgada, Portugal; Reyal Grupo Volley in Guadalajara, Spain; Erdermir Volley in Eregi, Turkey; Dionysos Volley in Pafos, Cyprus; and Isku Volley in Tampere, Finland. Tamas twice led his teams to the National Cup Final (Cyprus and Finland).

He is a native of Santa Barbara, CA and is married to Jennifer (Joines), who was a four-time All-American middle blocker at Pa-cific (2000-03) and a silver medalist in the 2008 Beijing Olym-pic Games. She is finishing her professional volleyball career in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The West Coast Conference’s all-time leader with 1,932 ca-reer digs and a three-time All-WCC honorable mention selec-tion, Caroline Walters is in her third season as a member of the coaching staff and was namned interim head coach in 2011. Also the Santa Clara program’s career leader with a 4.59 assists-per-game average.

Walters’ primary on-court responsibilities with the Mustang program include working with Cal Poly’s serve receivers and down defenders while her off-court focus is geared toward the coordination of recruiting efforts and a role in both internal and external operations.

A three-time All-West Coast Conference honorable mention selection, Walters is owner of four of the top five single sea-son per-game dig marks in Santa Clara history. Walters en-joyed her top collegiate campaign as a sophomore in 2005 when as her conference-leading 516 digs – the third high-est single-season total in Santa Clara history – helped propel the Broncos to a program-record 27 victories, a West Coast

championship, a berth into the NCAA Tournament national semifinals and a final No. 4 ranking in the AVCA Coaches Top 25 Poll.

Statistically, Walters’ 4.93 digs-per-game mark recorded as a freshman in 2004 stands as the top single-season mark in Santa Clara history.

With Walters in the lineup, Santa Clara posted an 84-34 aggregate record, a 41-15 combined West Coast mark and failed to finish lower than third in the conference stand-ings during any of her four seasons. Walters, a four-time program Defensive MVP selection and three-year captain, appeared in 421 of a possible 428 sets during her career. A native of Los Gatos, Calif., Walters earned a B.S. in ac-counting from Santa Clara last year.

Walters arrived on the central coast following a year stint as an assistant coach with the 18-Blue squad of the Los Gatos-based Vision Volleyball Club, where she helped with practice planning and on-court techniques and strategies.

This is Cal Poly

More than 19,000 students, nationally-renown courses of study and the top-ranked public master’s university in the western United States

... all 11 miles from the Pacific Ocean.

Located in the central California coastal town of San Luis Obispo, Cal Poly compris-es one of 23 campuses in the California State University, the nation’s largest four-year undergraduate university system. Each CSU campus is given considerable

freedom to develop its programs and each institution boasts its own qualities andstrengths.

Cal Poly’s Learn by Doing principle of instruction prepares undergraduates for careersin applied technical and professional fields. From computers to crops, Cal Polyholds that the best preparation for any endeavor is derived through practicalapplication. This ideal has set Cal Poly apart from other schools and been theschool’s driving philosophy since its 1901 founding.

Courses at Cal Poly emphasize a high proportion of lab work, fieldwork andspecial assignments, culminating with a senior project. Unique on-campusopportunities – such as an organic farm and a student-run daily newspaperand majors of study ranging from aerospace engineering to wine and viticul-ture – make hands-on learning a daily reality at Cal Poly. In total, Cal Poly confers bach-elor's degrees in 64 separate areas of study. Nine of those degrees are exclusive to theSan Luis Obispo campus (see next page). For 20 consecutive years, U.S. News andWorld Report has ranked Cal Poly as the top public master’s university in the westernUnited States. The publication also ranked Cal Poly’s College of Engineering as the No.3 program in the nation among public non-doctoral institutions (see below).

On-campus activities are headquartered at the renown University Union and CalPoly’s student-run activities have earned enviable reputations across the nation. Weekof Welcome offers first-quarter students a successful introduction to the collegiate expe-rience through a team of trained student leaders and university officials, all of whom pro-vide academic and social resources, encourage awareness and promote relationshipswith the campus and central coast community.

Athletically, Cal Poly boasts one of the most successful Division I programs for aninstitution of its size. During the 2012-13 academic year, the athletics department –which sponsors 21 varsity programs – saw the football, women’s basketball and base-ball programs advance to the NCAA Championships. Individually, Laura Hollander(women’s cross country), Andre Dome (men’s tennis), Kennith Jackson (football), NicoMolino (football) and Deonte Williams (football) each earned All-America honors. At the

NCAA Championships, Hollander finished ninth as a freshman in women’scross country while Dome reached the Round of 16 in men’s tennis. PitcherChase Johnson was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the third roundof the MLB Draft in June 2013. Named Big West athletes of the year wereDome (men’s tennis), Chris Frias (men’s cross country), Hollander (women’scross country), John Prader (men’s track and field) and Molly Schlemer(women’s basketball). Freshman wrestler Devon Lotito earned a Pac-12 titleat 133 pounds. Hollander earned Big West Freshman Player of the Year hon-

ors in both cross country and track while Elise Krieghoff earned similar honors inwomen’s soccer. Williams and Kennith Jackson were first-team All-Big Sky selections.

As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academic integrity, 67 Mustangs collectedconference all-academic praise during the 2012-13 school year. The Cal Poly AthleticsDepartment also finished fourth in the Big West Commissioner’s Cup, an award pre-sented to the institution with the best overall results in the conference’s 16 sponsoredsports.

Internationally, Cal Poly was represented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by formerMustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump), Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, base-ball) and Stephanie Brown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United States in the dis-cus competition was the first such feat by a Mustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) andBrown Trafton (discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

For the 20th straight year, Cal Poly was ratedby U.S. News and World Report as the best pub-lic master’s university in the western UnitedStates in its 2012 America’s Best Collegesguidebook. Cal Poly placed sixth in the publica-tion’s overall list of the west’s best universities –including both public and private institutions –that provide “a full range of undergraduate andmaster’s-level programs but few, if any, doctoralprograms.” The publication ranks colleges thatgrant doctoral degrees, such as those in theUniversity of California system, in a separate cat-egory.

“Being named Best in the West for 20 straightyears is a terrific acknowledgment of Cal Poly’ssustained excellence over a long period of time,”said Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong.“The credit belongs to our faculty and staff fortheir unwavering dedication and commitment toour students’ success, and it underscores thepower of our Learn by Doing philosophy.”

In the 1890s, when a proposal for a teacher training school in San LuisObispo seemed unlikely to succeed, California State Senator SylvesterC. Smith instead suggested a polytechnic institute. Myron Angel, chron-

icler of San Luis Obispo County history, became an ardent supporter ofthe idea and articulated a vision to establish a school that would “teachthe hand as well as the head.” The plan succeeded and on March 8,1901, legislation was signed founding the California Polytechnic School,then a vocational high school.

During the ensuing three decades, Cal Poly evolved into the modernequivalent of a junior college, but its future became uncertain. In 1933,however, Julian A. McPhee, chief of the California Bureau of AgriculturalEducation, saved the institution from abolishment by agreeing to becomeschool president. During the next 33 years, McPhee guided Cal Poly’stransformation into a four-year institution and set an educational standardstill emulated today.

Cal Poly’s first baccalaureate exercises were held in May 1942 and in1947, the institution was officially renamed California State PolytechnicCollege. As programs continued to evolve, the institution becameCalifornia Polytechnic State University in 1972.

The Learn by Doing ethos continues to inform the paths Cal Poly’salumni pursue, and they keep the friendships they start here. They alsolearn by succeeding. Median starting salary for recent graduates was$50,000 (beating all other CSU and UC campuses) and mid-careersalaries for Cal Poly alumni are better than all UC and CSU campusesexcept Berkeley and UC San Diego -- and better than many private uni-versities. More than half of Cal Poly seniors have a job offer in handbefore they graduate -- even in today’s difficult economy.

Donald J. Oberhelman was named CalPoly’s Director of Athletics on March17, 2011. Oberhelman, 42, came to

Cal Poly after serving as the ChiefOperating Officer and Senior AssociateAthletic Director at San Diego StateUniversity. In that capacity, he was respon-sible for the daily operations of San DiegoState’s intercollegiate athletics program,including budget planning, hiring and eval-uation of coaches, facilities and event man-agement. He also worked closely with SanDiego State’s fundraising team.

“Cal Poly has a great tradition of academ-ic excellence and we want to continue to build on that tradition in every-thing we do. For many people, athletics is the first impression they haveof the university. We must make sure these impressions are great ones,”Oberhelman said at the time of his hiring. “We know our primary obliga-tion is to develop our student-athletes. I want us to be leaders in gradu-ation rates as well as in championships. But the receipt of a degree is notenough. It must be in a field of interest to the student-athlete and it mustlead to a rewarding career.

“We will not compromise and place student-athletes on the perceivedshortest path to a degree. Here’s the bottom line for Cal Poly Athletics:We are in the business of developing citizens and leaders. Along the way,we can also win championships. Experiencing what it takes to be achampion is a great education in and of itself.”

Cal Poly President Jeffrey Armstrong echoed Oberhelman’s senti-ments.

“Don’s goal is for all of our student-athletes to leave Cal Poly with adiploma and a championship ring,” Armstrong said. “That’s a great goalfor our student-athletes and our fans.”

Prior to his tenure at San Diego State, Oberhelman served as the sen-ior associate athletic director at Southern Mississippi (2002-07), the edu-cation coordinator for athletics at Texas A&M (1998-2002) and as a com-pliance assistant at Florida State (1995-1998).

Among Big West institutions, only UCDavis (22 programs) boasts more athletic disciplinesthan Cal Poly.

Prior to transitioning to the Division I level, Cal Polyranked as the most successful institution in the historyof NCAA Division II athletics with 35 national team titles.Cal Poly has continued its winning tradition at the topflight with teams and individuals routinely earning con-ference championships and NCAA Tournament berths.

During the 2012-13 academic year, the athleticsdepartment -- which will add sand volleyball in 2014 --saw the football, women’s basketball and baseball pro-grams advance to the NCAA Championships.Individually, Laura Hollander (women’s cross country),Andre Dome (men’s tennis), Kennith Jackson (football),Nico Molino (football) and Deonte Williams (football)each earned All-America honors. At the NCAAChampionships, Hollander finished ninth as a freshmanin women’s cross country while Dome reached theRound of 16 in men’s tennis.

Named Big Westathletes of the year were Dome (men’s tennis), ChrisFrias (men’s cross country), Hollander (women’s crosscountry), John Prader (men’s track and field) and MollySchlemer (women’s basketball). Freshman wrestlerDevon Lotito earned a Pac-12 title at 133 pounds.Hollander earned Big West Freshman Player of the Yearhonors in both cross country and track while EliseKrieghoff earned similar honors in women’s soccer.Williams and Kennith Jackson were first-team All-BigSky selections.

As testament to Cal Poly’s athletics and academicintegrity, 67 Mustangs collected conference all-academ-ic praise during the 2012-13 school year. The Cal PolyAthletics Department also finished fourth in the BigWest Commissioner’s Cup, an award presented to theinstitution with the best overall results in the confer-ence’s 16 sponsored sports.

Cal Poly athletes have consistently excelled outsidethe bounds of the collegiate arena. Cal Poly was repre-sented at the 2008 Summer Olympics by formerMustangs Sharon Day (United States, high jump),Jimmy Van Ostrand (Canada, baseball) and StephanieBrown Trafton, whose gold medal for the United Statesin the discus competition was the first such feat by aMustang athlete. Day (heptathlon) and Brown Trafton(discus) also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics inLondon. Other prominent post-Cal Poly examplesinclude All-American wide receiver Ramses Barden(2005-08), who was a third-round selection by the NewYork Giants in 2009. Former linebacker Chris Gocong(2002-05) – one of Cal Poly’s three Buck BuchananAward winners as the Football ChampionshipSubdivision’s top defensive player – made 35 starts inthree active seasons with the Philadelphia Eaglesbefore signing with the Cleveland Browns in 2010.Former men’s soccer midfielder Anton Peterlin is theonly Big West player to have appeared in an EnglishFootball League match. Two former Mustangs -- JuniorBurgos (Toronto FC) and Patrick McLain (Chivas USA)have played on Major League Soccer clubs. As ofAugust 2013, the Cal Poly baseball program producedsix Major League players in the last four years while 23other Mustangs were active professionally.

MUSTANG HEAD COACHES

For more than 100 years, Cal Poly’sstudent-athletes have been dedicatedto excellence in both the athletic and

academic arenas. During the 2012-13scholastic year alone, 67 Mustangs werenamed to all-conference academic teams.Since Cal Poly transitioned to the Division Ilevel in 1994, the school has enjoyed 701total all-conference academic selections –an average of nearly 37 per year.

Taking pride in each student’s ability toexcel both athletically and intellectually, CalPoly and the athletics department offerguidance and support to each student-ath-lete during his or her tenure. To supportthese motives, the athletics department ini-tiated the Academic Resource Center.

Opened in 2001, the center provides year-round academic support, tutoring, work-shops and academic advising. The centerhas also developed study hall programswith bi-quarterly progress checks, weeklyacademic appointments and a first-yearseminar class for incoming student-ath-letes.

In deference to the student-athlete’sneed for class schedule flexibility, Cal Polyalso offers in-season priority registration fortwo of the three quarters during which com-petition occurs.

Of the 64 major courses offered at CalPoly, Mustang student-athletes wereenrolled in 54 separate areas, as of the Fall2009 term.
