Message froM Head CoaCH Linda MaCdonaLd

W e l c o m e to University of the

Pacific Field Hockey. Our goal is to build a program that is competitive nationally while stay-

ing committed to the progress of our athletes becoming well-rounded individuals.

I have been at Pacific for 21 years, the past 11 as the head coach, and I believe this team knows what it is to compete at a high level on the field and

in the classroom. The effort these young ladies put out on the field is matched only by the excellence and intensity they show in the classroom. They are truly

student-athletes.

Following the 2000 season, one of our players wrote what it is to be a Pacific field hockey player. It is our cheer and her words that describe it best:

Tiger Hockey Rah!

“Ending each practice and starting each game with ‘Tiger Hockey Rah’ (THR) only begins to explain what lies behind this cheer. It symbolizes who we are, the

Tigers: a unit, a team. It enables us to withstand the hardships and embrace the victories. THR rekindles our motivation, keeping our fire and desire

lit inside. It inspires us, and is always there to remind us of who we are. Whatever may come, THR is there to follow. We have made

a motto for ourselves. We are a unit and THR keeps us on our path to success.”~Nicolette Wiegand

Field Hockey2 Media Guide

Head Coach Linda Mac-Donald enters her 12th season at the helm of Pacific’s field hockey program after leading her team to a semifinal berth in the NorPac Con-ference Tournament last season.

“I am very excited,” said MacDonald. “We have a very good nucleus of re-turning players.”

The Tigers welcome the return of three of their top-five scorers from last season, including

first team all-conference senior Katy McDonough (Ventura, Calif.). McDonough led the team in goals (7), assists (8) and points (22) in 2008, nearly doubling her total career points, to jump into second place on Pacific’s all-time offense list.

Returning up front with McDonough is fellow senior, Kim Keyawa (Chico, Calif). The pair were two of three players to start all 18 of the Tigers games last season. Keyawa was sec-ond only to McDonough in assists on the team.

Senior captains Lisa Muhl (Harleysville, Pa.), who earned sec-ond team all-conference honors as Pacific’s top defender last season, and Brianna Cummins (Fallbrook, Calif.), were the backbone of a defense that held eight of its 15 opponents to two goals or less. Kiddy Leubane (Capetown, South Africa), the Tigers’ leading scorer in 2007, returns after her hiatus last season to round out the seniors.

Junior Kelly Perkins (Gilroy, Calif.) will be looked upon to con-tinue her success in the circle. She rounded out the top five scorers for Pacific in 2008, tying for second on the team in to-tal goals. Contributions from junior Megan Pedersen (Escon-dido, Calif.) and sophomore Robin Nelson (Morgan Hill, Calif.) will also be essential for the Tigers in 2009. The duo appeared in every game last season with Pedersen seeing 14 starts.

Key off the bench for the Tigers last season were juniors Sarah Miceli (Los Gatos, Calif.), Christina Niccum (Simi Valley, Ca-lif.) and sophomore Amanda Spellman (Gilroy, Calif.). Miceli earned the NorPac Julie Nagel Award in 2008 after seeing time in nine games. Niccum saw extensive time in the goal for Pacific last season and Spellman appeared in 16 of the Tigers’ 18 games.

Remaining returners include: junior Jessica Jones (Chico, Ca-lif.), and sophomores Doreen Stern (San Jose, Calif.), Victoria Matsumoto (Vista, Calif.), Corinne Yeider (San Jose, Calif.), Marleen Canillas (San Ysidro, Calif.) and Lauren Jeanot (San Jose, Calif.).

Quality, not quantity, best describes the Class of 2013. In-coming freshman include Dinah Compton (Escondido, Calif.), Stephanie Douglass (Saratoga, Calif.), Lizzy Eskue (Fallbrook, Calif.), Rachel Moxley (Orangevale, Calif.), Samantha Rome-ro (Gilroy, Calif.), Ashley Schlesier (San Diego, Calif.), Emily Trudeau (San Jose, Calif.) and Jenna Vivian (Gilroy, Calif.).

“They will have a strong possibility of contributing right away,” MacDonald added. “They all come from hockey programs with a history of success and will bring a positive energy to our program.”

In 2009, Tigers will travel as far as New Jersey to take on com-petitive non-conference opponents, going toe-to-toe with teams like Penn State and Louisville in between.

“This is definitely a tough schedule,” said MacDonald. “Penn State finished 12th and Cal was ranked nationally as well.”

During the offseason the Tigers added two new assistant coaches: Liz Fries and Danielle Neault. Fries earned four let-ters at Wake Forest University, seeing four trips to the NCAA Field Hockey Championship game. Neault, who also serves as Pacific’s Academic Advisor, was a four-time letterwinner with the Tigers. She helped lead Pacific to 35 victories in four seasons

The 2009 season opens at home against Missouri State on Friday, Aug. 28, before the Tigers head out to Berkeley, Calif. to host Towson University on Saturday, Aug. 29.

Linda MacDonald enters her 12th season at Pacific and 15th year of coaching. During her impressive career, she has amassed over 110 wins and a .465 win-loss percentage. Lead-ing the Tigers to their third consecutive 4-2 NorPac Conference finish in 2008, Pacific posted a 6-12 overall record last season.

After 11 seasons at the helm for Pacific, MacDonald has led the Tigers to a 74-119 overall record. Prior to taking the reins in 1998, she served as an assistant coach at Pacific for 11 seasons.

MacDonald-led teams have authored a litany of records including most goals in a season (43 - 2006), most victories in a single season (11 - 2004 & 2006) and third fewest goals allowed in a season (27 - 2003).

2007 may have been one of MacDonald’s best coaching efforts to date, as a youthful Tigers team struggled to a 1-9 start. Rather than looking toward the future, she helped her team rally to win six of its final eight contests, including a 3-2 win over NorPac rival California in Pacific’s final home game of the season.

In 2004 and 2006, she led the Tigers to the most wins in school history (11), finishing both seasons with a 4-2 record in the NorPac.

In the Tigers’ second game of the 2006 season, Pacific upset No. 6 American for the team’s first win over an opponent ranked in the top-10 in school history. The 11-8 record marked the team’s third winning season over the course of the previous five years.

In addition, MacDonald led the Tigers to Pacific’s second appearance in the NCAA Tour-nament following the 2004 season. During that historic season, the Tigers won a pro-gram record seven-straight games to claim the NorPac Championship and defeated Lou-isville, 1-0, in the NCAA Play-In game on Pacific’s home field.

For her efforts in 2004, MacDonald was named the National Field Hockey Coaches As-sociation (NFHCA) West Region Coach of the Year as well as the NorPac Conference Coach of the Year.

MacDonald has also remained active within the field hockey community. She completed a Federation of International Hockey coaching course at the Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va., in 2005. In addition, she has been a coach and a director in the National Futures Program and was a selector for West Regional Futures Tournament in 2007 and 2009.

Before coming to Pacific, MacDonald was the head coach at Bentley College in Waltham, Mass., from 1984-86, where she amassed an impressive 37-9-2 record and earned an appearance in the NCAA Division III Final Four in 1986. MacDonald also served as the head coach at Westford Academy (1977-83), where she led Westford to the Central Mas-sachusetts Championship and a state semi-final appearance, losing to Frontier Regional, 2-1 in overtime.

Following her coaching and teaching career in Westford she moved to California and earned a master’s degree in sport sciences from Pacific in 1991. MacDonald earned her bachelor’s degree from Springfield College (Mass.), graduating with cum laude honors in 1973.

At Springfield, MacDonald was a four-year starter on the field hockey team and also competed on the U.S. National Field Hockey squad in 1976.

Along with her coaching duties at Pacific, MacDonald is also a part-time faculty member at San Joaquin Delta College, where she teaches adaptive physical education. She cur-rently resides in Stockton.

Liz FriesWake Forest (‘09)First Season

Liz Fries comes to Pacific after having earned four letters at Wake Forest University, where she served as a valuable utility role for the Deacons in the center back position. In just her sophomore year, Fries worked her way to a starting role on the team and helped lead the squad over the final years of her career at Wake Forest. While on the team, Wake Forest’s successes included four trips to the NCAA Field Hockey Championship and a victory at the ACC Championship in 2006.

In 2008, Fries was selected as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s (ACC) All-Tournament Team, after the team advanced to the post-season and helped hold opponents to an average of 1.8 goals per game. Fries was named Second Team Regional All-America the prior year after she was ranked fourth in the ACC in the game-winning goals category in 2007.

For her excellence on the field, Fries was given the opportunity to coach for the United States Field Hockey Association Olympic Futures Training Program from 2005 to 2009. There she served as a skills coach and evalu-ated/selected athletes for the National Futures Tournament.

During her prep career, Fries spent a year playing for the under-18 Rüs-selsheimer Ryder Klub Field Hockey Club in Rüsselsheimer, Germany, from 2003 to 2004. Fries spent the year as the team’s midfielder and forward, net-ting 21 goals in tournament play across Europe.

Elizabeth Fries originally hails from Mount Airy, Md., and completed her bachelor’s in anthropology at Wake Forest University in the spring of 2009.

At the end of the 2008 sea-son, Pacific’s field hockey team finished the year with a 6-12 record. The Tigers finished their final eight games of the season 5-3, i n c l u d i n g four-straight victories from

Oct. 10-19 and a win in the NorPac Tour-nament. The first of their four-straight came against Davidson, by a score of 4-2. Junior Katy McDonough led the Ti-gers to victory with two goals and one assist. In the next game, Pacific shut out Appalachian State by a 3-0 margin. Scoring the first goal for the Tigers was McDonough, who did so with only 31 sec-onds left in the first period. The next goal of the game came from sophomore Ra-chel Taylor, while freshman Robin Nelson secured the victory with the final goal for the Tigers. Senior Kelly Miller recorded her second career shutout, while Pacific out-shot Appalachian State 17-5 in this contest.

The Tigers took a close 2-1 victory over Radford on Oct. 18, scoring the winning goal with just over 10 minutes left. Ju-nior Kim Keyawa passed to senior Erica Nestle who put the ball past the Radford goalie to give the Tigers the 2-1 win. The only other goal for the Tigers was made by senior Ashley Niccum, which knotted the game up at 1-1. This victory for the Tigers marked their third in row, to con-tinue their longest winning streak of the season.

The next day, Pacific pushed past Long-wood with a 3-2 victory, extending the streak to four in a row. Assisted by Nes-tle, McDonough scored the first goal for the Tigers, marking her fifth goal of the season. After two goals for Longwood in the second period, the Tigers were down 2-1. Sophomore Kelly Perkins was able to tie the game up at 2-2 early into the sec-ond half. With the game still tied through-out much of the second half, Nestle took a pass from McDonough, and shot it into the goal to boost the Tigers to a 3-2 lead with just over three minutes left in the game. Pacific settled in and held off Longwood to secure their victory, which marked its longest winning streak since 2006.

NorPac ConferenceFormed in 1982, the NorPac Field Hockey Conference has evolved over the past 27 years from an initial California membership to the current east and west blend. Three of the original teams include University of the Pacific, Stanford University and University of California-Berkeley. Both Appalachian State University and Davidson College accepted invitations to join in 2000 followed by Radford University in 2001.

Longwood University was added to the conference in 2005 as a provisional member while reclassifying to a Division I membership. After fulfilling NCAA reclassification re-quirements, Longwood became eligible for its first conference tournament in 2007 and was the host for the 2008 championship.

UC Davis joins the NorPac conference for the 2009 season. After the Aggies’ program was elevated from club to intercollegiate status, the NorPac Conference announced the addition of UC Davis as its newest member in July 2008.

The Aggies are eligible to complete in a full 2009 conference schedule, including the NorPac tournament held at Stanford University Nov. 5-7.

With the addition of UC Davis as the eighth member, the conference will re-establish Eastern and Western divisional play in 2009. The Aggies join California, Pacific and Stanford to make up the West Division.

Appalachian State, Davidson, Longwood and Radford will form the East Division. The round-robin divisional play will culminate with the conference championship tourna-ment for all eight members.

Stanford will be hosting its fourth (1999, 2002, 2007 and 2009) NorPac Champion-ship in 2009. The championship has been hosted three times by Saint Louis University (1998, 2000, 2003). Davidson has hosted twice (2004 and 2006) with Appalachian State (2001) and California (2005) serving as the host institution once.

In 1998, the growth and development of the NorPac as an NCAA single-sport confer-ence was assisted by a three-year grant from the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the NCAA, as well as by a partnership with and support from the United States Field Hockey Association (USFHA).

Through the grant opportunity, the restructuring of the conference included members California, Davis and Elkins College, Missouri State, Pacific, Saint Louis and Stanford University.

Since 1999, the NorPac Field Hockey Conference has received an NCAA play-in op-portunity or a conference automatic qualification (2005). Over the past decade NorPac representatives are 7-2 in NCAA play-in games.

Founded in 1851 as the first chartered university in California, University of the Pacific continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the finest academic institutions in the West. The main Stockton campus, with its expansive lawns and brick-and-ivy architecture, much like many renowned universities in the East, is highly regarded as one of the most picturesque college campuses in the West. The only private school in the Big West Conference, Pacific of-fers a diversity of programs that would normally be associated with a much larger university. Personal attention and small class sizes have become Pacific trademarks and help attract students from many U.S. states and foreign countries. Pacific provides its 6,235 scholars a student-to-faculty ratio of less than 13-to-1. Pacific is comprised of 11 schools and colleges on three campuses, offering students the distinctive advantage of nearby resources. Two professional schools complement the Stockton campus: the School of Dentistry in San Francisco and the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. The Stockton campus features the central liberal arts division, College of the Pacific and schools of music, engineering, education, pharmacy, business & public administration, international studies, the Graduate School and University College. Pacific students are represented on many policy-making committees, and the As-sociated Students (ASUOP) play an active role in campus life through social and cultural programs. The Stockton metropolitan area, with a population of over 280,000, is nestled con-veniently in the San Joaquin Valley between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada Moun-tains. Pacific offers its students a proximity to many exciting places including Monterey/Carmel, Lake Tahoe, the northern California wine country, and Yosemite National Park. It is adjacent to over 1,000 miles of waterways, making it the largest inland seaport in the state.

Pamela A. EibeckUniversity President

Pamela A. Eibeck became the 24th President of University of the Pacific on July 1, 2009. She is Pacific’s sixth President since the University moved to Stockton in 1924 and the first woman to hold the office. Her Presidency follows a distinguished career as a researcher, teacher, educational reformer, and university administrator.

Prior to joining Pacific, Eibeck was dean of the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering at Texas Tech—one of the nation’s larg-est engineering colleges with 4,400 students, 156 faculty and five research centers. There, she was responsible for eight academic departments, 33 degree programs and a $55 million budget. An active fundraiser, Eibeck helped build an endowment of $57 million and doubled the number of endowed chairs.

Eibeck takes the helm at a University with strong enrollments and finances, and the best incoming student academic profile in its his-tory. With a record number of applications for Fall 2009, university enrollment is expected to remain steady at around 6,250 with a 20-point jump in the average admitted freshmen SAT score to 1200. Construction continues on two major buildings: the $7.5 mil-lion Janssen-Lagorio Multipurpose Gymnasium and the $10 million John T. Chambers Technology Center, and the last fiscal year closed with a surplus for the 13th consecutive year. While spending time to get know Pacific in her first year, Eibeck has committed to building on these strengths by continuing to enhance educational quality, build national visibility, and deepen the University’s involvement in community engagement.

Eibeck received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in mechanical engineering between 1979 and 1986 from Stanford University. She joined the faculty at the University of California at Berkeley, where she earned tenure and served from 1985 to 1995. In 1995, she became a professor and chair of mechanical engineering at Northern Arizona University, where she later served as director of the honors program and then vice provost for undergraduate studies. In 2004, Eibeck was named dean of the college of engi-neering at Texas Tech.

An expert in heat transfer, Eibeck conducted experimental re-search related to electronics cooling and thermal tiles used by NASA on the space shuttles. Her later work focused on engineering educational reform, including early use of multimedia in the class-room, curriculum development and, most recently, ways to attract young people and women to the profession. She has authored or co-authored nearly 50 articles and papers.

Eibeck became a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2008. She received the Distinguished Engineering Educator Award from the Society of Women Engineers in 1996 and the Boeing Outstanding Educator Award in 1999.

Eibeck is married to William D. Jeffery, a law professor and a native of California. They have four children. Sons Andrew and Kevin live in the Bay Area. Daughter Katherine attends the University of Southern California. Their youngest son, Will, attends Santa Clara University.

• Over 80 major fields from which to choose, yet an average class size of under 20, even in the freshman year.

• NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics as well as numerous club and intramural sports.• Exposure to a wide range of knowledge through the General Education program, and hundreds of oppor-tunities for gaining “hands-on” experience in a chosen field.

• A strong liberal arts tradition within key academic units including business, conservatory, education, engi-neering, international studies, and pharmacy.

• An intercultural perspective that prepares students for working in an increasingly diverse and international society.

• Students sit on many decision-making committees of the University to ensure that the voice of the students is heard.

• A New England-like campus in northern California.• With more than 6,000 students enrolled, Pacific is one of the smallest universities to be ranked among the top 100 national universities, both by US News & World Re-port and the The Washington Monthly College Guide.

THE PACIFIC EXPERIENCE

The University


How old is Pacific?We became California’s first chartered institution of higher education in 1851. We were also the first co-ed university (the first graduating class had five men and five women). We cel-ebrated our sesquicentennial year in 2001.

What type of university is Pacific?Pacific is a comprehensive university with three campuses and eleven schools and colleges. Eight of our schools and col-leges provide undergraduate education on the Stockton cam-pus, including a college of liberal arts and sciences (College of the Pacific), six professional schools and an adult re-entry division. The Stockton campus also has a graduate school. The other two campuses are the Pacific McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento and the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.

Is Pacific a religious or church-related university?No. Pacific was founded by and is affiliated with the Methodist Church. We do have a chapel, a full-time chaplain, a number of religious-oriented clubs, and a Department of Religious Studies, but we are not a “religious” university where students are required to attend chapel or to take religion classes. Any or all of the above are available to students who are interested, but participation in such activities is completely voluntary.

Is Pacific accredited?Pacific is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and many academic programs have additional accreditation by appropriate professional organizations.

The University of the Pacific's mission is to provide a superior, student-centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities. The first chartered institution of higher education in the State of California, the University of the Pacific is a mid-sized independent, comprehensive university offer-ing a wide choice of high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs in Stockton, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Pacific is an outstanding blend of the advantages of the diverse programs of a major university and the broad, highly personalized learning of the selective liberal arts college. We accomplish our mission through highly personalized programs delivered in a caring, supportive, and attractive environment. We seek to develop and strengthen self-confidence, initiative, analytical and problem-solving abilities, and an enthusi-asm for learning. Central to our mission is the dedication of our faculty and staff to excellence in teaching and advising. We encourage and support research, scholarship and cre-ative activity as complements to our fundamental mission of teaching. Our mission dictates a commitment to leadership development, global awareness, community involvement and opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are committed to providing practical experiences to complement classroom learning. Highly interactive student-faculty relations and a broad array of co-curric-ular activities that help to develop students' abilities are hallmarks of learning at the University of the Pacific.

PACIFIC’S MISSION


University of the Pacific

Academics are Number One at the Uni-

versity of the Pacific, and Pacific is proud of its

student-athletes’ performances in the class-

room. In addition to having some truly outstand-

ing individual scholar-athletes, Pacific currently

boasts a graduation rate of over 96 percent for

all recruited student-athletes who exhaust their

athletic eligibility. During the spring semester

of 2008, Pacific student-athletes posted a

combined grade point average of 3.0.

Pacific is annually represented on Big West

Academic All-Conference teams, Academic

All-America teams, and boasts NCAA Post-

Graduate Scholars in several sports. For the

2008-09 academic year, Pacific honored 102

Big West Conference Scholar-Athletes. In order

to qualify for the distinction, student-athletes

must record a 3.0 grade point average over

their two most recently completed semesters.

Freshmen are required to attain a 3.2 grade

point average over one semester to earn the

accolade.

Pacific attributes its success in the class-

room to two primary factors. First, Pacific

recruits only student-athletes who it believes

can succeed at the University and who have a

sincere commitment to a higher education. Sec-

ond, it provides outstanding support services to

students.

An integral resource of support is a fac-

ulty committed to helping students obtain an

education and to graduate, and who often tutor

student-athletes one-on-one. Pacific intercolle-

giate athletics has a comprehensive academic

achievement program for its student-athletes,

including counseling, tutoring, monitoring

services, leadership and life skills training,

computer resources, and a set of standards

and procedures outlined in the student-athlete

handbook. Supervised study periods are

provided, and a system of grade checks is in place to identify

problem areas and ensure immediate attention. At Pacific, the

“four-year” degree is no myth. Faculty and counseling resources

help keep student-athletes at Pacific on track to graduate in

four years.

Located in the heart of the Pacific Intercollegiate Athletics

Center, the Pacific Student-Athlete Resource Center, includes

state-of-the-art computer facilities and is used exclusively by

student-athletes.

A special opportunity exists for student-athlete participation

at Pacific with the Pacific Student-Athlete Council. The council

is comprised of elected student-athlete representatives from

each Division I team. The council sponsors a variety of activities

throughout the year for Pacific student-athletes and youth in the

community.

To be a student-athlete at University of the Pacific is truly a

unique experience. One can compete athletically at the NCAA

Division I level with the best in the nation and, at the same time,

have an outstanding educational experience with a dedicated

faculty.

University of the Pacific ... the best of both worlds!

NOTABLE PACIFIC ALUMNI:


Lynn King is in his 10th year as director of athletics for University of the Pacific. He began his tenure in March 2000. During his time at Pacific, King has seen the Tigers claim 16 Big West Conference team titles. Pacific has also made 28 NCAA Champion-ship appearances under King’s guidance. In King’s first year at Pacific, the Tigers ranked first among NCAA Division I-AAA schools in the national Sears Directors Cup standings in 2000-01, surpassing all 78 other non-football Division I universities. The Tigers have also excelled in the classroom since King’s ar-

rival, boasting six CoSida Academic All-Americans and 37 CoSida Academic All-District Team athletes since 2000-01. In 2002-03 alone, four Pacific teams were recognized with national team academic awards “ L y n n K i n g h a s p r o v i d e d o u r a t h l e t i c d e p a r t m e n t w i t h tremendous leadership and direction. Pacific Athletics have reached new levels of suc-cess both athletically and academically,” said former President Donald V. DeRosa. King is currently leading Pacific on a campaign to build two new facilities (a mul-tipurpose gymnasium [the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium] for athletics and recreation and a tennis clubhouse), expand the Alex G. Spanos Center to include an athletics Hall of Fame and substantially increase the athletics endowment. This campaign is already well underway as construction of Klein Family Field and renovations to Chris Kjeldsen Pool have been completed. In addition, construction of the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium is scheduled for completion at the beginning of the 2009-10 academic year. Before coming to Pacific, King chaired the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s track and field subcommittee from 1995 to 1999 and served as Drake’s director of intercollegiate athletics since 1990. Under the leadership of King, Drake’s Bulldog Scholarship Fund grew in both record numbers and money pledged in support of Drake athletics. Among his accomplishments at Drake, King played a major role in raising $12.5 million for design and construction of the 7,000-seat Knapp Multi Pur-pose Center. King also spearheaded successful efforts that enabled Drake’s athletics program to be officially certified by the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification in the spring of 1998. The certification followed the committee’s review of Drake’s athletics program self-study and review of a report by a peer-review team that visited the campus in November of 1997. King previously served as director of intercollegiate athletics for University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh and assistant athletic director for facilities at the University of Northern Iowa, of which he is an alumnus. King began his career as head coach for men’s track and cross country, first at Rochester Community College and then at University of Northern Iowa, where he was also an instructor of health and physical education. While at Northern Iowa he coached 11 conference team champions, 25 All-Americans and two national champions. He was named regional or conference coach of the year 10 times and referee of the Drake Relays in 1984. King earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education. In October of 2008, he was inducted into the Northern Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame. He was a member of the executive committee and a director of the Greater Des Moines Sports Authority, a director of the Iowa Games board, and the 1995 National Junior Olympics Organizing Committee. He and his wife, Jan, are parents of two adult children, Jason, and Kelly.

In her fifth year at Pacific, Holly Trexler is the

Associate Director of Athletics for Student-Athlete

Services and Compliance. She became Pacific’s Se-

nior Women’s Administrator in September of 2008.

Among her duties, Trexler oversees compliance, aca-

demic support, student services, the Pacific Student

Athlete Council (PSAC) as well as the CHAMPS/Life

Skills program. In addition, Trexler is currently serving

on the NCAA Leadership Selection Committee.

Before coming to Pacific, Trexler was the assistant athletic director for academic

support/life skills coordinator at Quinnipiac University from 2002-05. At Quin-

nipiac, she monitored the academic progress and eligibility status of all student-

athletes, in addition to overseeing academic programming and support services.

Trexler was also responsible for the CHAMPS/Life Skills program.

Prior to her time at Quinnipiac, Trexler spent the previous three years as assistant

athletic director for eligibility and student services/senior woman administrator at

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, N.C. Her

duties at the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference school included the monitoring of

academic records and eligibility status of 300 student-athletes. She also oversaw

the academic programming and support services.

From 1993 to 1999, Trexler worked at the University of Kansas as a strategic

learning assistant and Mentor. In her position, she developed learning strategies

for at-risk student-athletes and assisted with subject matter and overall academic

development.

Trexler holds three degrees from the University of Kansas. She earned her

Bachelor of Arts in English and African-American studies in 1995. She was awarded

her Juris Doctorate from the Kansas School of Law in 1998. A year later, in 1999,

she finished her master’s in education.

Strength and conditioning is an in-

tegral part of any student-athlete’s life.

At Pacific, new facilities combined with

a dedicated staff work toward success

on the playing field for Tiger student-

athletes.

“Strength and conditioning are criti-

cal to maximal athletic performance,”

Pacific Athletic Director Lynn King said.

“The University of the Pacific is proud

of its Athletic Performance Center and

staffing to assist our student-athletes

in this vital part of their training and de-

velopment.”

The multi-purpose weight training

and fitness facility within the Pacific In-

tercollegiate Athletics Center is 4,000

square feet and includes 10 Olympic

platforms, 10 racks, five bench presses,

five adjustable inclines, two full racks

of dumbbells, over 50 medicine balls,

35 Swiss balls, six adjustable plyomet-

ric boxes and was completed in July of

1998.

The newest addition to the athletic

performance facilities is a 2,000 square

foot conditioning room with plyometric

flooring and 20 Schwinn Spin Bikes.

“The Athletic Performance staff

works hand-in-hand with sport coaches

to assure the student-athlete develops

physical strength, endurance and agil-

ity,” King said. “This training serves as

a basis for the work ethic required to

reach one’s full potential.”

The Pacific athletics department boasts seven facilities for its 16 Division I intercollegiate teams. All Tiger basketball and volleyball games are held in the Alex G. Spanos Center (top left), with lockerrooms lo-cated in the central athletics department.

In 2006, Pacific saw the opening of its first on-campus baseball field, Klein Family Field (bottom right). Klein Family Field is one of two on-campus fa-cilities with stadium lights that allow for night games throughout the season. The Pacific baseball team’s home seats 2,500 and capacity grew even larger in the fall of 2008, with the addition of two new luxury boxes on the upper concourse.

Pacific’s women’s soccer team competes in Amos Alonzo Stagg Memorial Stadium, which was formerly

the home of Pacific football. Stagg was built in 1950 and has undergone several renovative ef-forts since.

The Tiger swimming and water polo teams hold their contests at Chris Kjeldsen Pool, lo-cated adjacent to the athletics department. The complex also holds lockerrooms and coaches’ offices. In 2008 the pool was resurfaced with new siding to make it one of the faster pools in the Big West Conference.

Pacific athletics is dedicated to providing students with top-notch facilities, and the Janssen-Lagorio Gym-nasium (rendering top right) will be the newest addition to the Tigers’ facilities. Ground-breaking occurred in December 2008.

Message from the Seniors

Regardless of what the final season record shows, the heart and determination that lives within Pacific’s field hockey program goes unquestioned. As we begin our final year wearing our tiger uniform, we cannot help but to look back upon our experiences here that have helped shape us, not only into the hockey players we are now, but the bright young women as well.

Looking back at our first NorPac Tournament as freshmen, it is easy to remember what a heartbreaking loss feels like; from this we learned not to ever take a talent of a team for granted. We have learned through grueling weight-training and conditioning sessions, mental barriers and just one more sprint can be broken through and done with the love and support of each other. When it felt like we hit rock bottom, we were able to come together as a team, creating our own luck, to turn things around and go undefeated on a road-trip that made us see what we can accomplish together. We truly believe the five of us have created this bond from all of our lessons that is a combination of knowing only now exists, hard work, and a “never give up” attitude.

Not only is this bond something we feel with each other, but it is something we feel with the rest of our team-mates, and alone makes our program one of a kind. Pacific field hockey’s success comes from being a cohe-sive team. We get things done for each other, not for ourselves, because we know individually, our success is a tribute to everyone. For the younger girls, cherish your time on the field together; four years goes by faster than you would ever believe! The girls around will become part of your family more than you will ever realize. Work hard, play hard and have fun!

Pacific would like to dedicate this season to

nita Bruner harris (‘91) 1969-2009

The 1989 Pacific Field Hockey team

A standout student-athlete, Nita lettered in both field hockey and softball during all four of her years at Pacific while receiving a degree in psychology. The Baldwin Park, Calif. native garnered All-Big West and NorPac Conference honors during her tenure.

In field hockey, she sits in sixth place on the all-time offense list after knocking in 18 goals and adding one assist for 37 career points. Nita was instrumental in helping lead the 1989 team to the NCAA tournament. She was the Tigers’ leading scorer in 1987, when she tied two other players, and took the title alone in 1989 and 1990, earning the outstanding offensive player awards also in 1989 and 1990.

On the diamond, Nita was one of Pacific’s best hitters. Finishing her junior year with a .298 batting average, Nita sat in the top five on the team in batting average, slugging percentage, on base percentage, sacrifices and doubles. She had also stolen 34 of 43 bases by her senior year and led the team in the stat in 1990. Former head softball coach Theresa Lowery called Nita “a very good athlete with great quickness and foot speed.” She stated that she hit with power and consistency.

Nita lost her battle with cancer on April 9. She is survived by her husband Chris Harris, who also graduated from Pacific, and two daughters, Katelyn and Madelyn.
