1998 ToRERO PREVIEW 1 Toreros Poised For Success in 1998 Experienced Youth Movement
When the University of San Diego women's soccer team takes the field this season, many of the faces will be the same in head coach John Cossaboon's line-up, just with an added year of experience. The Toreros look to build off last season's 4-3 West Coast Conference mark and re-assert themselves as a force in the conference.
USO returns nine starters from the 1997 squad including AllWCC First Team member Heather Swanson (Irvine, CA) and second team selection Sherice Bartling (San Diego, CA). The Toreros also welcome back a talented group of sophomores headed by WCC Honorable Mention Claire Currie (Downey, CA) and Gina Poltl (San Diego, CA) who scored five goals in her freshman campaign and ranked second on the team in scoring (13 points).
Offensively San Diego returns its top goal-scoring threats in Bartling (seven goals, seven assists), Poltl (5,3) and Currie (5,2) . Bartling and Poltl each exploded for a hat-trick against Portland State and UC Santa Barbara respectively.
USD Head Coach John Cossaboon
Defensively USO returns a veteran lineup led by Swanson, and WCC Honorable
Torero Seniors (clockwise): Nicole Gorton (9) , Aimee Wagstaff. Sherice Bartling, Katie Eichhorst
Mention Vanessa Thiele (West Hills, CA). Goalkeeping is something of a question mark with returning senior Katie Eichhorst (El Cajon, CA) battling talented newcomers Leila Duren (Branson, CA) and Caley Cook (Redmond, CA) for playing time in the USO nets.
Another boost to the Torero assault should come from Alison Benoit (Cedar Hill, TX), a junior center midfielder transfer from the University of Florida. Benoit scored two goals and added three assists for the Gators in 1997.
One of the biggest challenges for USO in 1998 could be the rugged non-conference schedule, which includes showdowns with four PAC-10 schools (Stanford (#22),UCLA (#19), Cal and Oregon).
Once the non-conference schedule is completed, the road gets tougher. Competition in the West Coast Conference should be intense again in 1998. Santa Clara and Portland both advanced deep into the NCAA Playoffs in 1997. Santa Clara, enters 1998 ranked #3 in the Soccer America Pre-Season poll, while Portland appears at #7 .

The University of San Diego
Setting The University of San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of
higher education. Founded in 1949, USO is located on 180 acres overlooking Mission Bay, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alcala Park and is located just IO minutes from downtown San Diego and the world famous San Diego Zoo. Historic Old Town is just minutes away as well.
The city of San Diego along with this campus traces their origins to fifteenth century Spain. 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, the University of Alcala, whose buildings became the inspiration for USD's style. Both institutions are located on a hill overlooking a river valley.
The Campus The USO campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique
institutions in the country, featuring 18 major buildings designed in an ornamental I 6th century Spanish Renaissance style.
Since 1984, USO has completed 11 major construction and expansion projects. A five-story, Spanish Renaissance parking garage (I, 100 spaces) was completed in 1998. A landscaped fountain plaza was finished in the fall of 1995, connecting the entrances of the Immaculata and Hughes Administration Center. In 1992, the university completed the 45,000 square foot Loma Hall, which includes an expanded bookstore, a larger
mail center, classrooms and laboratories. In 1990, the renovated Katherine M. and George M. Pardee Jr. Legal Research Center opened, a facility that offers the latest in information technology.
Academics USO enrolls more than 6,600 students who have a choice
of more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university's academic units include the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business Administration, Education, Law and Nursing. Class size generally averages between 18-25 students with the student to teacher ratio being 18: I. Over 97 percent of US D's full-time faculty hold doctorates.
In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and universities, published by U.S. News & World Report, USO moved from the regional to national category in 1994. The university is ranked among the top 100 schools in the nation.
Student Life Student activities include cultural events, dances, boat cruises, beach
parties, BBQ's, concerts, comedy nights, symposia and much more. Students participate in a wide range of volunteer projects such as adult literacy tutoring, senior citizen outreach, and house building in Tijuana. The intramural program is also an integral part of student life on campus with over two-thirds of the USO community partaking in intramural sports.
Athletics The University of San Diego is a member of the West Coast Confer
ence for nearly all sports and competes in 16 intercollegiate sports on the NCAA Division I level. Women's sports include: basketball, crew, cross country, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. Men's sports include: baseball, basketball, crew, cross country, golf, football, soccer and tennis. Since 1990 USO teams have won five conference championships; made 17 post-season appearances; had 16 Conference Coaches of the Year; 12 Conference Players of the Year, IO Conference Freshman of the Year, three WCC Scholar Athletes of the Year and 18 NCAA AllAmericans . This past year, Zuzana Lesenarova, a sophomore on the women's tennis team, earned her second-straight NCAA All-American honor after advancing to the semifi nals of the 1998 NCAA Individual Championships -- she finished with a national ranking of ninth .
