2007
OUTLOOK EYES ON THE PRIZE
The 2006 baseball season was as good as it’s ever been for the West Coast Conference. A one-division format for the first time in years brought a playoff bid for three teams and an unprecedented opportunity to host an NCAA Regional. The Lions were in the hunt for their third straight West Coast Conference Championship series appearance until the very end, being edged out on their final weekend of play. With much of the same expected for 2007, the returning Lions have a hunger that they’re hoping carries over into the 16 newcomers. LMU was once again predicted to finish fourth among its WCC opponents, a prophecy that the Lions are accustomed to proving wrong. Picked to finish fourth three of the last four seasons, LMU Head Coach Frank Cruz led the 2004 team to a conference-best 20-7 record and the Coast Division title. His efforts earned him his third career WCC Coach of the Year selection and the top place in the 2005 WCC preseason poll. Similarly, the 2007 Lions have the talent that could help them shake-up this year’s predictions. With five of the conference’s eight teams mentioned in preseason national polls (including the Lions), the battle for the conference championship will be a tight one. But the Lions are pointing to a few key factors that could make all the difference for them this season, including their defense up the middle, their pitching, and a competitive non-conference schedule that will prepare them for the WCC war. When Cruz considers the team’s strength up the middle, he highlights four key returning starters that will be a big part of the Lions’ defensive and offensive attack. Catcher Sean Dovel, infielders Eric Farris and Michael Glomb, and center fielder DeAndre Miller return with a combined seven years experience as starters.
Inside the Lions

Dovel is a two-time All-WCC honorable mention recipient as a catcher, and he brings the top returning slugging percentage (.469) back to the Lions’ lineup. “We expect Sean to be one of the top players in the conference, and definitely among the best catchers in the WCC,” Cruz said. Behind Dovel, the Lions are deeper at the catcher position than they have been in years. Junior college transfer T.J. Bernardy comes to LMU from Cosumnes River JC, where he threw out better than 75 percent of all attempted basestealers. In LMU’s fall Crimson & Navy Series, Bernardy was awarded the co-Defensive MVP honors for his work behind the plate. Also available for time behind the plate and in the bullpen are returner Brett Mendoza and freshman Marty Mullins. Mendoza will likely also see time as the Lions’ designated hitter, as he finished his rookie campaign hitting .317 with a .488 slugging percentage. Likewise, Mullins’ offensive potential impressed the coaches during the fall. The middle infield will look familiar to Lion fans, as Farris and Glomb are once again slated to start at second base and shortstop respectively. Farris has been an All-WCC pick both of his underclassmen seasons, earning a second-team selection as a rookie and honorable mention recognition as a sophomore. He is the top returner in batting average (.332), runs scored (36), RBI (38), and total bases (87). On top of his offensive numbers, he turns heads defensively and was named MVP of continued
LMU’s fall Crimson & Navy Series. “Eric has been our team leader for two years now,” Cruz said, “and hopefully, will be this year as well.” Glomb has been a crucial piece of the puzzle for the Lions as well, but has yet to have a full, healthy season. He hit .417 in conference play in 2006. Last year was Miller’s first season with the Lions’ after transferring from Fresno State. The top returner in on-base percentage (.416), the center fielder will likely be used as the Lions’ leadoff hitter. In LMU’s fall Crimson & Navy Series, Miller shared the co-Defensive MVP honors with Bernardy. “With Sean, Eric, Michael, and DeAndre, we feel like we’re pretty stable in the middle,” Cruz said, “and that’s really important.” Newcomers Joe Zeller and Will Dugoni will give the Lions depth in that strong middle infield.
MEYERS
While the Lions will be noticeably strong up the middle once again, the team’s hottest battle for playing time will be at the corners. The frontrunner for the first base job is three-year starter A.J. LaMonda. One of the top defensive infielders in the conference, LaMonda will also be needed for his power offensively. Last season, he hit .296 in WCC play. The other corner will likely see a newcomer earn the starting job. Ryan Wheeler, with his physical, left-handed bat, impressed coaches in the fall and they’ve converted him into a third baseman. Behind LaMonda and Wheeler, returners Nik Garcia and Justin Bunkis will likely see time at first and third. Newcomers Taylor Shoop and Ty Kelly will also be in the mix. For the first time in nearly 10 years, the Lions outfield will not be packed with returners and experience. Miller and Anthony Soto, a fifth-year senior left fielder for the Lions, will anchor the outfield, although each has only been a starter for a season. Soto, in addition to his speed in the outfield and on the basepaths, also gives the Lions a good bat. He earned Offensive MVP honors in LMU’s fall Crimson & Navy Series. The right field slot will likely go to freshman Angelo Songco, a newcomer coaches are especially excited about. Other returners will definitely see time in the outfield, including two-way players Brian Wilson and Ernie Cho and senior Elvis Herrera. The job of designated hitter will likely be a rotating one, as Wilson, Garcia, and Mendoza will likely all see at bats. Newcomer Jeremy LaMell, who brings great speed to the program from Glendale Community College in Arizona, will also get a chance at the DH spot. Another unusual occurrence for the Lions: LMU returns its entire starting rotation in Brad Meyers, Daniel Macias, and Andy Beal. Meyers, an AllWCC second-team selection in 2006, is one of Baseball America’s top-50 prospects for the June draft. He was named to both the Roger Clemens Award and Brooks Wallace Award watch lists, awarded to the nation’s top pitcher and player at the end of the season. Macias had a standout junior season that resulted in All-WCC honorable mention recognition in 2006. He carried that over into summer success in the Jayhawk League.
Inside the Lions

With Beal also returning, the Lions may opt to use him frequently out of the bullpen as they did his freshman season. “We’re just not sure about Sunday,” Cruz said. “Andy has always done anything and everything we’ve ever asked of him. He was our Sunday starter the second half of the season last year, but we might put him in the bullpen. Brian Wilson may start on Sundays this season.” As a pitcher last season, the freshman Wilson made 24 appearances and four starts, totaling 46.1 innings. In one of his starts, against top-ranked Cal State Fullerton on the road, Wilson carried a shutout of the nation’s top team through the sixth inning. Also among recent firsts for the Lions is having a bullpen that the coaching staff feels comfortable to turn to. Returning relievers Lee Roberts, Blake Feaser, Mike Kenney, Ernie Cho, Melvin Blackmon, Nate Keadle, and Ezequiel Ruvalcaba will all see innings out of the pen. Roberts was a WCC All-Freshman selection after finishing WCC play with three saves and an ERA of 1.80 in 15 innings of work. Feaser has had a strong recovery from surgery and is expected to be game-ready in March, after serving a medical redshirt season last year. The returners will lead a group of newcomers in the pen that includes Xavier Esquivel, Kevin Hernandez, Tim Busbin, Steve Connolly, and Jeremy Burrell. In LMU’s fall Crimson & Navy Series, the freshman Esquivel took home Most Valuable Pitcher honors and could serve as the Lions’ closer in 2007. “In terms of relief pitching, we feel like there are some people we could go to a little earlier than we’ve had in the past,” Cruz said. “So that’s something that we’re excited about: a bullpen that could come in and throw some strikes.” J.R. Higley (utility) and Greg Meyers (RHP) will likely redshirt in 2007. Aside from the Lions’ personnel strengths, among the most exciting aspects of this year’s program is the schedule. The coaching staff has assembled a non-conference campaign that ranks among the top-15 in the nation in strength of schedule. Top-15 non-conference teams like 2006 College World Series participant Cal State Fullerton and Tulane, paired with Southern California’s elite like USC (#25), Long Beach State (#30), San Diego State (#33), and UC Irvine (#38) will give the Lions 35 games against teams mentioned in the preseason national polls. “We have a solid non-conference schedule,” Cruz said, “that includes tough road match-ups at Tulane and Fresno State.” Things don’t get any easier once WCC play arrives on March 30. Five teams are mentioned in those national preseason polls including 19th-ranked Pepperdine, 32nd-ranked San Francisco, 46th-ranked San Diego, and Santa Clara. The tough match-ups both in and out of WCC play leave the Lions with the 21st toughest schedule in the nation. “We know a lot of teams in the West will be in the NCAA tournament come June,” Cruz said. “We’re working to be one of those teams.”

TOP OF THE WORLD LMU AT THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES The 1986 LMU baseball team had the best season in program history. It was also one of the best overall seasons of all time for LMU Athletics. Following a 1985 season in which the Lions did not have a winning record at 27-28, the program performed one of the best turnarounds in LMU athletics history. They finished the season with a program-best 50 wins and wrapped up the season at 50-15, a 23game improvement from the previous year. The season started with the Lions winning their first eight games and 12 of their first 13. As the season progressed, LMU produced a 13-game winning streak from March 21 through April 11, and won 20 of 21 games in the middle of the season. With the winning streak came the nation’s top ranking by the ESPN/Collegiate Baseball National Poll. The Lions never looked back, finishing tied with Pepperdine for first place in the West Coast Athletic Conference at 19-5, setting up a one game playoff to determine the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Regional. Played at Jackie Robinson Stadium on the campus of UCLA, the Lions defeated the Waves 14-9 to earn the bid to the NCAA West Regional.
Inside the Lions
LMU was placed with UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Hawaii in Los Angeles at UCLA. It looked as though it might be two-and-out for the Lions, as they dropped their first game to UC Santa Barbara 11-5 to move down to the elimination bracket. However, LMU would reel off its next four games, fighting through four separate elimination games to earn a bid to the school’s first appearance in the College World Series. In game two of the Regional, the Lions defeated UCLA 12-10, eliminating the Bruins and earning a rematch with UC Santa Barbara. LMU advanced past the Gauchos with a 14-6 win, and would then have to beat the University of Hawaii twice to compete in Omaha. After 10-6 and 12-5 victories, the Lions earned a trip to the 1986 College World Series. On May 30, the Lions opened up their first World Series trip with a 4-3 win over perennial power LSU, to earn a two-day rest and play in the winner’s bracket. The Lions played the University of Arizona on June 2 and lost a heartbreaker 75 to drop to the elimination bracket to face Oklahoma State. The Cowboys were too much for the Lions, as they went on to an 11-5 win.

BASEBALL NATIONAL TEAM LMU AND TEAM USA
After representing LMU on the USA Baseball National Team in the summer of 2004, LMU Head Coach Frank Cruz and right-hander Stephen Kahn (2003-05) returned to Los Angeles with a gold medal from the FISU II World University Championship in Taiwan. Cruz, who served as Team USA’s manager, and Kahn (now in the Seattle Mariners organization) helped the national team to a perfect 8-0 run at the championship, including a 4-2 comefrom-behind win over Japan in the title game. Cruz led Team USA to an 18-7 record on the summer, including winning 12 of the last 14 games. Kahn became the third Lion to play for the national team since they began selecting the official squad in 1984. He joined former LMU baseball standouts Joe Ciccarella (1989-1991) and Chris Gomez (1990-91), who played a combined three seasons for the Red, White, and Blue. Cruz was selected in January to serve as the 2004 squad's field manager after serving as an assistant for Team USA in 2000. Sending both Kahn and catcher Jonathan Higashi (2001-04) to June's national team trials, LMU was just one of seven schools (LMU, Long Beach State, Mississippi, Texas, Stanford, Vanderbilt, and USC) to have multiple players invited to the trials pool of 36 players. "When the guys at the trials asked me what Cruz is like as a coach, I told them that they'll definitely enjoy the summer with him,” Kahn said. “I smile inside knowing that I am his player all year and that I get to be there with him this summer with USA Baseball. He is a great representative for our school and our program. Cruz is one of the top Division I coaches and that's why he is where he is right now: coaching the best players in the nation. It's nice for our incoming freshmen, as they can know they are coming to play for the coach that was the manager for the USA National Team." In 20 years of national team competition, USA Baseball has now won five gold medals. In his two stints with the national team, Cruz has had a hand in two of those five gold medals. He is now one of just three coaches to be a part of multiple gold-medal-winning squads. Cruz and Team USA went a perfect 6-0 in round robin pool play and then defeated Chinese Taipei (5-2) and Japan (4-2) to capture the gold medal. The Americans entered the championship with a 10-7 record, but then won eight straight in Taiwan and 12 of their last 14 under Cruz. The Americans captured the gold with a combined dominating performance at the plate, on the mound, and in the field. Cruz's offense led the eight-team field, hitting .307 with six home runs. His pitching staff was nearly untouchable, combining for a 1.19 ERA and striking out 83 batters in 68.0 innings. For continuing a tradition of excellence with the national program, Cruz was named the 2004 USA Baseball Developmental Coach of the Year. With the honor, Cruz, along with the other national award winners named by USA Baseball, advanced to the United States Olympic Committee pool of award winners from every Olympic sport's national governing body. His team, the 2004 National Team, was also named USA Baseball Team of the Year. The Americans finished summer 2004 with an overall record of 18-7 and became the first National Team to ever record a no-hitter, as five pitchers combined to pull off the feat in a game against Canada.

Cruz and Kahn opened the FISU World University Championship with wins over Chinese Taipei (2-1) and Canada (15-1), in their final leg of the tour with the USA Baseball National Team. The right-handed Kahn helped Team USA cruise to the 15-1 route of Canada, throwing a hitless sixth inning. Earlier in the summer, Kahn helped the National Team to a 19-2 victory over the New England Collegiate Baseball League's Danbury Westerners in Danbury, Conn. Kahn threw two innings in Team USA's first game back in the states following its five-game Japan road swing. Kahn entered the game in the eighth inning and got the first batter to pop up to second base before striking out two to end the inning. He added a third strikeout in the ninth, completing the 192 victory for the Red, White, and Blue at Rogers Park. Kahn's three strikeouts in two innings helped Team USA move to 7-5, including a perfect 7-0 on American soil. The summer of 2004 was Cruz's second tour of duty with USA Baseball, but his first as a head coach. Cruz served as an assistant on the 2000 USA Baseball National Team that posted an overall record of 27-3-1 and captured a gold medal at the 2000 Haarlem Baseball Week Championships in The Netherlands. This past summer, he became the first USA Baseball National Team Head Coach to be affiliated with the West Coast Conference. After the 2004 National Team players were added to USA Baseball’s all-time roster, the organization named LMU one of the nation's top-50 college baseball programs in national team representation. LMU, which has produced three national team players since 1984, ranks 39th on USA Baseball's Top-50 National Team Collegiate Programs. Since USA Baseball began selecting players and operating an official national team to represent the United States in 1984, over 400 collegiate players have donned the Red, White, and Blue uniform from approximately 120 colleges and universities across the country. Despite Cruz’s two-time involvement, the top-50 listing did not award points for coaching selections.

Now in its 25th season as the home of Lion baseball, George C. Page Stadium has established itself as a tough place for opponents. With the Mikos Blue Monster and the addition of Pride Park, Page Stadium continues to stake its claim as one of college baseball's most unique ballparks. Thanks to a gift from Paul Mikos ‘66, a wall containing a manual scoreboard was installed in left field, complete with out of town scores reminiscent of some of Major League Baseball's classic ballparks. The Mikos Blue Monster is a replica to Boston's Fenway Park's Green Monster. The Mikos Blue Monster stands 130-feet wide and 37-feet tall. Within the wall is one of only a handful of manual score boards in all of baseball. The board itself isn't small, standing 18-feet tall and 46-feet wide. Complete with the LMU line score and other score updates, the scoreboard combines some old-time baseball charm with today's technology. The scoreboard has electronic balls, strikes and outs lights, along with electronic at-bat and hit/error identification. Every other component is tallied using 2-foot square aluminum score cards slipped in behind the scoreboard manually. Giving Page Stadium additional character is a five-foot indent connecting the Blue Monster with the existing outfield fencing, similar to the odd outfield shapes of the classic Fenway Park in Boston and Minute Maid Park in Houston. Since 1997, when Frank Cruz was hired as head coach of the Lions' baseball program, LMU has established an 158-123 record at Page, a winning percentage of 56 percent. The Lions' have posted a 403-279-2 record (.591) overall in the park's 24 seasons. Some of the best years have come in the five conference titles the Lions have won while calling Page Stadium home. The first Page Stadium conference title came in 1986, when the Lions posted a 24-8 record at home. The best record came in 1988, when LMU was 30-4 at home (88 percent). In the years the Lions have won conference crowns, they are 168-55 at Page (75 percent). Since going to a Championship tournament format in 1999, four of the WCC Championships have been played at Page Stadium with the Lions winning two conference crowns over Pepperdine. The stadium, built at the site of LMU's old baseball field, was completed at a cost of more than $250,000 with the Incentive Aid Foundation of Los Angeles providing the majority of the funding. Boasting grandstand seating for more than 600 people, the facility features a "VIP" section with 200 theater-type seats. The remaining 400 seats are aluminum with backrests and are located along the first base and third base lines. Field accommodations include spacious field-level dugouts and bullpens, a double batting tunnel, windscreen around the perimeter of the field, and grandstand. A picnic area, located down the first base line, was added prior to the 1996 season. The backstop has been modified to enhance spectator viewing of the action on the field. The press box, fully equipped to meet the needs of all media, is located behind the "VIP" seating. A convenient concession stand is located near the north entrance of the stadium. In the summer of 2004, Cruz spearheaded the construction of Pride Park, the stadium's new entrance. The park, resembling a scaled-down baseball infield, recognizes alumi and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for athletic events at LMU. Page Stadium has been the site of filming for numerous commercials, television shows, and feature films. It served as the site for the baseball scenes in the hit movie "My Blue Heaven" starring Steve Martin. It is also home to many camps, clinics, Little League and prep all-star games. The facility, which has also been used for outdoor community cultural shows and events, is named in honor of George C. Page, president of the Incentive Aid Foundation. Assisting Mr. Page and IAF in the stadium's completion was Maynard Kambak, father of LMU baseball alumnus Jeff Kambak. LMU's historic first game in Page Stadium was played on March 19, 1983, with a 5-1 loss to Cal State Fullerton.

PRIDE
PARK THE ENTRANCE TO PAGE STADIUM
Fans visiting Page Stadium will notice one of the most eye-catching improvements in the LMU athletic facilities: Pride Park gives the 25-year-old home to Lion baseball a memorable new entrance. The park, resembling a scaled down baseball infield, recognizes alumni and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for any athletic event at LMU. Pride Park consists of a brick infield with commemorative benches surrounding the area. LMU baseball's WCC Championship teams, NCAA tournament appearances, and those players who have had their jersey numbers retired are recognized on the benches. LMU fans sponsored the bricks that form the infield. The park now serves as the entrance to George C. Page Stadium, the home of the Lions for 25 seasons. Head Coach Frank Cruz oversaw the design and development of the park, which also offered fans the opportunity to purchase home plate, first, second, and third base, and the flag pole that stands in center field to honor loved ones. "We hope Pride Park will become a place where everyone associated with LMU, and specifically LMU baseball, can gather and reminisce," Cruz said. "We would like to see that all of those involved with our program's rich history, both fans and former players, are represented in our brick infield." Though the design of Pride Park lends itself toward baseball, the location provides a

natural focal gathering point for LMU guests that attend any function inside of Gersten Pavilion and Page Stadium, or games on Smith (softball) and Sullivan (soccer) Fields. Pride Park is an important initial step in achieving the athletic department's dream of a sports complex. With the construction of Pride Park and the creation of the tennis tournament court and Smith Field, fans of LMU athletics now see a modern athletic center surrounding the southwest area of Gersten Pavilion. Inspired by the death of Cruz's mother, Narcisa Cruz, Pride Park is the latest baseball facility improvement spearheaded by Cruz. During the winter of 2003, Cruz oversaw the renovation of the baseball weight room. Similar to the weight room, which recognizes the accomplishments of LMU baseball alumni, Pride Park honors the great moments in LMU baseball history and inspires current players to reach that level of excellence.

"The park displays the honor and tradition of LMU baseball and reflects LMU's longtime pride in having a family community," Cruz said.
FUTURE TRAINING DEN
COMING SOON TO PAGE STADIUM: THE LIONS’ TRAINING DEN Just around the time the Lions take the field in 2007, LMU baseball will begin construction on its 8,000 square foot training den. The baseball facility will include three hitting tunnels, pitching mounds, and a baseball strength/weight room. The new facility will be located down the right field line of Page Stadium, replacing the existing batting cage area. Construction is expected to be completed during the summer of 2007.

STRENGTH TRAINING STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING The strength and conditioning program at LMU has become a primary piece in its quest to Build Champions. The program has taken a huge step into become one of the top strength and conditioning programs with the new direction established by Head Strength Coach Rick Stassi and Assistant Strength Coach Sergiu Boerica. With the program in place, Stassi and Boerica have developed goals for the student-athletes that implement a plan to advance each athlete. The development of each athlete is focused so they may reach their athletic potential. The training through Stassi's program will be enhanced through proper training in strength, conditioning, flexibility, agility, nutrition and rest. The program assesses each athlete's strengths and weaknesses in those areas and customizes each program to meet individual needs. Like the rest of the LMU campus where individual attention is the norm and not the exception, strength and conditioning strives on that philosophy. With the program in place, the staff works with the athlete and the coaches to give specialized individual attention to ensure proper growth for the athlete and the sport. Every workout is supervised with daily attention given to the athlete to assure progression. The programs are also designed to limit injury to the student-athlete while in action. Athletes are often affected with minor injuries that limit participation. The program has special equipment and protocols in place to ensure that the injured athlete continues to train so that deconditioning does not take place. This will allow for a more rapid return to full participation. The Lions will continue to work in the nearly 1,000-square foot facility in Gersten Pavilion. In addition, the student-athletes workout in the 8,000-square foot weight and fitness training facility within the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center, which opened in 2000. During the winter of 2003, Coach Cruz oversaw the renovation of the baseball weight room. The room, which features wall-to-wall mirrors and new equipment, displays program and individual honors, including past conference player/pitcher of the year recipients. The improvements encourage LMU players to reach that level of excellence, emphasizing that success is earned through daily effort.
ATHLETIC TRAINING The busiest place per square foot on the campus of Loyola Marymount University is not what one would think. It is not LMU's on campus commons area, the Lair, University Hall or the LMU bookstore. It is the LMU Athletics Training Room. Right around 1,000-square feet, the LMU training room at any given moment in season is what Head Athletics Trainer Keith Ellison calls "organized and controlled chaos." In the height of its busiest time of the year, when all 18 LMU NCAA Division I sports are in action, the Training Room can make a casual onlooker dizzy. However, Ellison, his three full-time assistants, Joe Gonzalez, Beth Drayer, Gary Dyogi and 15 student assistants make it look easy. In his 16th-year at LMU and 10th as the Head Athletics Trainer, Ellison and his staff have turned the LMU training room into a model for the school's main conference affiliate, the West Coast Conference. "This is a great place to be because of the people," said Ellison, who graduated from LMU in 1987. "The fulltime staff we have here is the best in the conference. We have the right personalities for LMU and they all genuinely care and are concerned about the student-athletes, not just for their injuries and sports they play, but for each person as a whole. On a given day, the Athletics Training Room will see about half of the 325 student-athletes at LMU. A given day will include lots of paperwork, therapy for student-athletes recovering from injuries that keep them out of competition, appointments with doctors and pre- and post-practice needs. "Our mission is to eliminate the chance for injury. We stress the use of ice and strength and conditioning to reduce the risk of injury. Thus, the traffic in our training room can get very heavy throughout the day," said Ellison, who has been busy this year. "We have had a lot of different injuries with many different teams. Because of that we have had a lot of traffic in our training room doing rehab and doing the normal stuff to prepare for practice or games." In addition to providing the best care available in the nation to LMU athletes, the training program services the needs of its opponents in a first class manner and provides an opportunity for students in the field of athletic training to earn valuable experience. With more than 50 years of experience in the field, the Training Program provides services that includes a philosophy that places a high value on health and wellness, a program that allows injured student-athletes to return to their sport as soon as medically safe and to substantially reduce the risk of athletic injury for those student-athletes. The Training Room at LMU features state-of-theart equipment in a 1,000-square foot sports medicine complex. The equipment includes whirlpools, paraffin bath, ultrasound, muscle stimulation and hydrocalators.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT IT’S ABOUT THE SUPPORT Throughout an LMU education, students enjoy the support of instructors who know each individual by name and who make classes challenging, fascinating and fun. Class sizes are 13 to 1 and give each student a chance to exceed even their own expectations. IT’S WHO YOU ARE WITH Looking for camaraderie? When it comes to providing friends and mentors, you won’t find a university surpassing LMU. The campus population comes from all 50 states and 70 countries. Better still, LMU offers more than 100 extracurricular organizations that hone the students skills and help them find like-minded colleagues for life. Whatever the religious belief, the university pays attention to individual spirit. “I’ve thought a lot about what makes my friends at college different than those from high school, and I’ve realized that the people at LMU live up to the mission of being men and women for others,” said a sophomore. Students are free to examine faith in social or service activities. IT’S WHERE YOU LIVE Every fall, nine out of 10 first-year students take advantage of LMU housing and for some very good reasons. Some of the benefits of LMU living are simple: an active social scene, meal plans that allow students to dine at various campus locations, and easy access to classes and campus facilities. But university housing offers much more than simple convenience, it also give students an edge. As a resident, students are immediately plugged into programs that help them achieve better grades, meet new friends, develop professional contacts and graduate in a timely manner. IT’S WHERE YOU’RE BOUND “We’re trying to get rid of you,” so professor Kelly Younger, who directs the Honors Program, likes to tell LMU students. He’s referring to the study abroad opportunities, scholarships, internships, academic conferences and competitions that take students off campus and into the world. When it comes time to graduate, students will have the knowledge, the confidence, and the strength of spirit to achieve anything the students can imagine.
SOME FACTS • The highly diverse student population includes near ly 700 Asians, nearly 400 African Americans, and about 1,000 Latinos • Thirty percent of the University's first-year students had a high school GPA of 3.8 or better (based on 2005-06 freshman class) • The student-faculty ratio is 13 to 1 • Altogether, students received about $65 million in financial aid, including $25 million allocated by LMU • Founding Communities: Society of Jesus (Jesuits); The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (Marymount Sisters); The Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange (CSJ) • Faculty: full-time faculty (Fall 2004) -- 403; total fulltime and part-time staff -- Westchester 709; Law School campus- 130 • Student Housing: 20 Residence Halls for 3,282

THE COLLEGES VIEW TO A PROMISING FUTURE The Chronicle of Higher Education notes that at Jesuit institutions, this precept “translates into a large amount of individual attention from faculty members and accessibility to high-level administrators, including the president.” At LMU, students don’t simply benefit from cura personalis; they practice it, too, carrying out the Jesuit ideal of “men and women for others.” The Marymount sisters contribute a history of educating women and teaching through the arts, with a deliberately international perspective that encourages respect for all cultures. LMU brings these gifts together in five colleges: Business Administration, Communications and Fine Arts, Film and Television, Liberal Arts, and Science and Engineering.
• At LMU, real-world experiences benefits any discipline-even literature. Students in the BELLARMINE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS don’t just read Jack Kerouac. They go on the road. English professor Kelly Younger explains: “I teach a course called Road Read in which we study not only the literature of Los Angeles and California, but also the city itself as text. After reading Nathanael West’s The Day of Locust, we take a walking tour of downtown L.A., focusing on the architecture of the 1920s and 30s. We read Kerouac’s Big Sur and drive up the coast, spending a week reading, writing and sharing on the intellectual adventure. • Under the direction of award-winning entrepreneurship professor Fred Kiesner, for instance, students in our COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION participate in an internship program that places them with social entrepreneurs who are working to better society. “More and more, students are saying, ‘Hey, I can use my abilities to do good for others by doing business,” said Kiesner. • From their first year, engineering majors in our COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING address real-world design challenges, like devising plans for improving LMU’s traffic flow. “The project takes a lot of creativity and some pretty complex problem-solving,” says associate dean Tom Calder. “During students’ presentations, we’ve had the University’s V.P. for facilities sit in to listen to their ideas and offer professional feedback.” • Students in the SCHOOL OF FILM AND TELEVISION produce their own short films and TV pilots, with acting and music often supplied by student performers from our COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION AND FINE ARTS. When our talent pool can’t accommodate them, Hollywood can. “For my junior thesis, I teamed up with two other people to make a two-part, 10-minute sitcom,” says a TV production major. “We developed an idea and asked a senior in screenwriting to write a script. When it came to casting, we ran an ad in Backstage West and received 300 head shots. It was like a real casting audition.”
HONORS PROGRAM • The University Honors Program provides an intensive and innovative academic experience for the serious student. The program combines four interdisciplinary University Honors core courses with an intensive year-long sequence in writing, critical thinking and American Cultures. A second year-long sequence in the history of civilization and a course in natural philosophy are also a part of the curriculum. All honors students are required to display proficiency in a foreign language, take an upper-division ethics course, an interdisciplinary seminar in the junior year and a senior thesis. Interested students should apply to the University Honors Director.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The Student-Athlete Academic Center exists to support all student-athletes in their goals of getting a degree on time, maintaining athletic eligibility, and preparing for life after LMU. The Academic Center provides guidance and counseling from the moment a recruit first walks on to the campus to the moment a student-athlete graduates. TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE LMU has a proud reputation of academic excellence among its student-athletes. In the past few years the LMU Athletics Department has been in the highest percentile of the APR (Academic Performance Rate) scale among all schools in NCAA Division I. According to the 2005 NCAA Graduation Rate, the LMU Athletics Department posted a rate of 88 percent for all student-athletes who exhausted their eligibility and a rate of 71 percent for those student-athletes who received athletics aid.
Examples from the 2005-2006 academic year of the excellence LMU student-athletes epitomize: • 148 National Scholar-Athletes (minimum 3.0 GPA in 15 units or more) • 13 WCC All-Academic selections • 2 LMU Presidential Citation winners • 2 first-team CoSIDA District VIII All-Academic selections • 2 second-team CoSIDA District VIII All-Academic selections
ACADEMIC SERVICES The Academic Center and support staff are housed in Gersten Pavilion, providing academic support for the 350-plus athletes in 21 sports. The Academic Center includes a study area and desktop computers for student-athlete use. The staff consists of the academic coordinator and academic assistant, who monitor the progress of student-athletes, ensure timely graduation, and assist in degree preparation. In addition, the academic support staff offers a variety of other services, including: • • • • • • • •
Major Requirements Priority Registration Study Hall Tutorial Services Laptop Checkout for Team Travel Information about Awards/Scholarships Life skills and Developmental Workshops/Speakers Leadership and Mentoring opportunities
STAFF
The Athletics Department is committed to ensuring every student-athlete reaches their full potential in the classroom. Each student-athlete is required to be enrolled in 15 units per semester and is asked to keep a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA. Each team can increase the department standard depending on the philosophy of the coach. AT-RISK STUDENTS If a student falls below a 2.5 GPA during a given semester they are required to meet weekly with a member of the academic support staff and attend study hall the following semester. To help students in need, tutorial services through the Learning Resource Center (LRC) may be recommended by the advisor or requested by the student. FIRST YEAR STUDENTS All first semester student-athletes are required to meet weekly with a member of the academic support staff to ensure they get off on the right track at LMU. In addition, they are expected to attend study hall for a minimum of 4 hours weekly, in 2 hour blocks. Students are encouraged to form study groups here with fellow student-athletes. Finally, first year students are required to take a one-unit class, LIBA 125, Foundations of Academic Achievement. Taught by the Academic Coordinator, Matt Casaña, this class serves to foster important lessons in students such as time management, college nutrition, and study skills.

BUILDING CHAMPIONS The Lions of Loyola Marymount University were officially named kings of the West Coast Conference as they claimed the fifth-annual Commissioner's Cup - an all-sports award presented at the end of each academic year to the league's top performing school in conference play. The Lions compete in 12 of the 13 sports sponsored by the WCC and in the 2005-06 year LMU went on to finish in the top half of the conference in nine of those 12, winning the conference title in women's rowing and men's golf. The recipient of the Commissioner's Cup is based on a point system reflecting the place finish of each team in conference play. A Men's and Women's All-Sports Award, recognizing athletic achievement within each gender, is also presented. The Men's and Women's All-Sports Awards are given to the schools that accumulate the most points within each particular gender. The institution with the highest point total after combining the men's and women's point totals will be honored with the Commissioner's Cup.

Men's golf and women's rowing went on to propel the Lions to the top of the Commissioner's Cup, winning the respective programs their first-ever WCC title. Both Alex Galvan, head coach of the men's golf program, and Patrick Kelly, head coach of women's rowing, went on to lead their alma mater to the conference crown and earn Coach of the Year honors in the WCC. The magical season of the men's golf season continued as they competed for the national championship at the 2006 NCAA Men's Golf Championships. The 2005-06 season was filled with highlights for the Lions, here are a few: • Women's volleyball finished the season 19-11 and advanced to its third straight NCAA appearance, 10th overall in program history. • Women's cross country earned the program's best finish ever, claiming second in the WCC Championships. The first of nine programs to earn a finish in the top half of the conference standings. • On the same day, the men's cross country team also equaled its best finish, taking third place at the WCC Championships. The second program to finish in the top half. • Men's soccer was the third program to finish in the top half with a fourth place finish, while the women's basketball team advanced to the WCC Tournament semifinals for the fourth straight year and finished 1986 COLLEGE WORLD SERIES the WCC 10-4 and in third place. The fourth program to finish in the top half. • The men's basketball team equalled its best conference finish since 1992 and 1996 at second place and advanced to its first WCC tournament championship game in 17 years under first-year head coach Rodney Tention. Top-half finish No. 5. • Men's golf got the spring championship season off to a great start with its first WCC title. Three Lions earned All-

They came through with a convincing win over nine-time WCC Champ Gonzaga. Top-half finish No. 8. • Baseball needed just one win in the final series of the season to clinch the Commissioner's Cup for the Lions. They came through big as well, earning a series sweep to finish fourth in the WCC. Top-half finish No. 9. • The Lions' non-WCC programs also came through big. In its first year of competition, the women's track team saw Laura Mickelson advance to the NCAA Championships in the 5000meter. Men's water polo earned their third straight conference crown and fourth in five years as they finished third at the NCAA Championship. Women's swimming set a program record for wins, going 9-5 in dual competition. The Commissioner’s Cup is just an ever growing tradition of champions over nearly 100 years of competition. LMU has grown considerably over the years and offers a diverse range of 21 varsity sports, 18 of which compete at the Division I level within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Twelve sports, including baseball, men's and women's basketball, women's crew, men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's tennis and women's volleyball, compete in the prestigious West Coast Conference. In addition, women's swimming participates in the Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference and men and women's water polo compete in the Western Water Polo Association. Women's softball competes in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference while the newly formed men’s and women’s track program (added in 2006) is an independent to round out the 18 programs competing at the NCAA D-I level. Men's crew is affiliated with the Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association and the LMU cheer program was added as a varsity sport in 2005. The success of Lion Athletics has never been stronger, claiming some of its crowning moments since 2000. Since the start of the 21st century, the Lions have sent 23 teams to the NCAA tournament while winning 17 conference championships in the process. With the success, 41 individual student-athletes have earned All-America honors since 2000. Traditions of championships has been set from the beginning. One of the most memorable runs in NCAA history was that of the Paul Westhead lead men's basketball programs from 19851990. The Lions won two WCC tournament titles, and two regular season titles. As the Lions set the all-time NCAA Division-I record with 122.4 points per game in 1990, it was the people that made the Lions special. What Bo Kimble, Hank Gathers, Jeff Fryer and the rest of the up-tempo Lions did for the men's basketball team continued a long-standing tradition of a basketball legacy at LMU. Two Loyola basketball alumni, Pete Newell and Phil Woolpert, have been inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. Newell coached the 1960 U.S. Olympic basketball team to a gold medal and led California to the 1959
2007 LMU
NCAA Championship. Woolpert coached the University of San Francisco to the 1955 and 1956 NCAA Championships and a 60-game win streak, the second longest in college basketball history. Speaking of championships, Bob Boyd, former Loyola football and track great, captured the 1950 NCAA men's track championship in the 100-yard dash. He later played seven seasons as a tight end for the NFL's Los Angeles Rams, and led them to the 1951 World title.

This past 2004 Summer Olympics former and threetime men's volleyball All-American Reid Priddy burst on the international scene and led the U.S. Men's Volleyball team. Women's water polo players Rachel Riddell and Christine Robinson both played for the Canadian National Team in the Olympics and current women’s water polo player Katie Hicks made the U.S. National Team roster in 2006. Over 95 years ago, the Lions began Building Champions.The work continues in 2006-07.
The 1980s saw LMU's athletic success propel to the national and international level. Just four years after pitching the LMU baseball team to the 1986 College World Series, Tim Layana was a vital member of the 1990 World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds. Five members from the 1986 LMU team eventually played in the major leagues.

LMU ATHLETICS FACILITIES The athletic facilities at Loyola Marymount University have seen a little of everything in the almost 70 years while in its current Westchester location. From the 1984 Olympic games to LMU basketball to the World Cup and everything in between, the LMU athletic facilities have become home to the best. The complex continues to grow and improve with each year. The facilities include Albert Gersten Pavilion, George Page Stadium, Sullivan Field, the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center, the Jane Bove Boathouse, Smith Field, the LMU Tennis Complex, which includes the George P. Kading and Morris A. Pivaroff Tournament Court completed in 2004, and the Thomas Higgins Short Game Center, a pracitice facility for the golf program. Also completed in 2004 was the addition of Pride Park, the new entrance to baseball’s Page Stadium Joining the family of facilities the past year was SMITH FIELD, home to the LMU softball team, and the HIGGINS SHORT GAME CENTER for the golf team. Smith Field is complete with inset dugout, state-of-the-art scoreboard, natural grass seating for more than 500 and batting cages. The short game center is a pitch and putt practice facility behind the centerfield fence of Smith Field. It includes a pair of bunkers and plenty of space for putting at different angles. The existing centerpiece to the LMU athletics facilities is ALBERT GERSTEN PAVILION, entering its 25th year as the home to LMU’s indoor athletic events. Hosting men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, the Pavilion has seen its share of memorable moments. One came as the men’s basketball team posted a 16-game winning streak that spanned three seasons from Feb. 25, 1987 through Nov. 28, 1988. On Feb. 20, 1988, during the winning streak, Gersten set the attendance record with a standing room only crowd of 4,525 in a 142-127 win over rival Pepperdine. Built to accommodate the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the Pavilion served as the host site for the weightlifting competition. It is named in honor

of Albert Gersten, father of Albert Gersten, Jr., a 1974 LMU graduate. Now in its 24th season as the home of Lion baseball, GEORGE C. PAGE STADIUM has established itself as one of college baseball’s most unique ball parks. The park continues to distinguish itself thanks to the recent addition of Pride Park. However, the biggest enhancement came in 2001 with the Mikos Blue Monster, a new wall in left field that contains a manual scoreboard, complete with out of town scores reminiscent to Boston’s Fenway Park. The wall was built thanks to a gift from Paul Mikos ‘66. The BURNS RECREATION AND AQUATICS CENTER opened in the fall of 2000 and has become the home of some of the best water polo in the NCAA. The Olympic size pool is part of the $18-million Burns Rec Center, and serves as the home venue for men’s and women’s water polo and women’s swimming. Showing that it is one of the finest facilities in the country, LMU hosted the Men’s Water Polo NCAA National Championships in December of 2002 and will host the championship once again in December of 2006.

ADMINISTRATION UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Rev. Robert B. Lawton, S.J., was named the 14th president of Loyola Marymount University on June 1, 1999. Father Lawton leads LMU into the next millennium after serving as the dean of Georgetown College at Georgetown University since 1989. Lawton, a classicist, scripture scholar, administrator, and priest, was born in Cumberland, Maryland, and entered the Society of Jesus in July 1965. Possessing a wealth of experience in both university teaching and administration, Fr. Lawton comes to LMU after giving 20 years of service to Georgetown University. Serving as the assistant Dean from 1984-89, Fr. Lawton also taught in the Theology department as an adjunct assistant professor during that period. He started at the University in 1977 as an assistant professor of Theology and worked in that capacity until 1979. He earned his bachelor of arts degree in classics from Fordham University in 1971, graduating Phi Beta Kappa (summa cum laude). Fr. Lawton went on to attend Harvard University where he completed his doctorate in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations in 1977. Fr. Lawton was a Danforth and Woodrow Wilson Fellow at Harvard. He was ordained in 1981. Following his preparation for ordination from 1979-81, Fr. Lawton traveled to Germany to conduct independent study in both German and theology. In 1982, he accepted an assistant professorship teaching Hebrew and Aramaic at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, Italy, a post he held until 1984. In addition to his teaching and administrative duties at Georgetown, Fr. Lawton served on numerous campus committees examining such areas as campus planning, student life, freshman and transfer student admissions, and community relations. Outside of the University he has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Scranton and Fairfield University. Father Lawton holds the rank of professor in LMU’s Departments of Theological Studies and Classics.
Dr. William S. Husak begins his ninth year as the Athletics Director at Loyola Marymount University. Since taking over the program in 1998, LMU has reached a new level of success. While the Lions’ success has been some of the best in program history, Husak firmly believes the program has “just scratched the surface.” His administrative efforts have focused on developing a team of coaches, support staff and administrators who believe that LMU’s athletics program can be among the elite in the nation. This period of time has been marked by enhancing the support of the athletic teams through the creation of the Student-Athlete Academic Center and the Lions’ Strength and Conditioning Center, increased scholarship and operational support and enhancing the coaching and support staff. The past eight years have been some of the most successful seasons in school history as the Lions won over 57 percent of its dual competitions in that span and claimed the school’s first ever Commissioner’s Cup. Since 1998, LMU has claimed 20 conference championships and 26 NCAA postseason appearances. Off the field, the Lions have had a 50 percent increase in national scholar-athletes as 148 claimed the honor in the 2005-06 academic year. Husak attributes the current success and the future growth of the program to the staff that is in place. Since he took over the program, the coaching and administrative staffs that lend support to the more than 375 student-athletes has more than doubled in size. A full-time head coach will lead 19 of the varsity sports sponsored at LMU. When Husak took over, only nine of the programs were led by full-time coaches. In addition, support for the student-athletes was enhanced with the addition of eight brand new staff positions, which included an athletic academic coordinator, marketing/promotions manager, corporate relations manager, two assistant athletic trainers, a strength and conditioning assistant coach and an assistant media relations director. Husak comes from a long and accomplished background as an administrator, fundraiser and professor during a 19-year career at California State University, Long Beach. Between 1993-1998, he served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director and was mainly responsible for Athletics fundraising. While at CSULB between 1983 and 1997, Husak served as an assistant commissioner for the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). Between 1986 and 1993 he served as chairman of CSULB's physical education department. As an associate professor of physical education at CSULB between 1979 and 1986, he established the university's Motor Behavior Laboratory. A 1972 graduate of State University of New York (SUNY) at Cortland, Husak holds a master's degree and Ph.D. in Physical Education from Texas A&M University. He and his wife of 33 years, Tish, live in Long Beach and have three sons, Greg, Todd and Jon.
ORIGIN OF “LIONS” Although its origin is somewhat clouded, the Lion mascot has been synonymous with Loyola Marymount University for more than 70 years. According to the October 5, 1923 edition of the school newspaper, the Los Angeles Loyolan, the Lion mascot was suggested by an enthusiastic fan after 1919 when St. Vincent’s College became Loyola College. Noting the Loyola football players’ fierce competitiveness, that fan described the Loyola players as Lions. The name did not generate too much popularity and the Loyola athletic nickname remained “Loyolans” until 1923. At that time, the article explains, the college wished to inspire new pride in its athletes and fans. Noting the success of nicknames for other colleges, Loyola College opted to give the “Lions” nickname a rebirth. Calling the old Lion mascot “mistreated and forgotten,” the article explains that the Lion would officially find its way into all college songs and cheers. The Lion has remained firmly entrenched in Loyola lore to this day. An alternative origin story traced the nickname to the abundance of actual mountain lions which roamed Westchester when Loyola College moved here in 1927. The area remained widely unpopulated and teemed with wildlife when the school moved atop the bluffs. School officials reportedly adopted the nickname because mountain lions inhabited the area when ground was broken.

I WANT TO PLAY FOR LMU GENERAL INFORMATION ON NCAA COMPLIANCE
BASIC INFORMATION QUESTIONS? Should you have questions regarding any NCAA rules, please contact our Compliance Office at (310) 338-7789 or the NCAA at (317) 917-6222. GO ONLINE NCAA: www.ncaa.org Loyola Marymount: www.LMU.edu LMU Athletics: www.LMULions.com LMU CONTACTS Dan Smith Associate Athletic Director-Compliance (310) 338-7789 (800) LIONS-R-1 Brianna Johnson Compliance Assistant (310) 338-3706 (800) LIONS-R-1 MAILING ADDRESSES Loyola Marymount University Department of Athletics - Compliance 1 LMU Drive - MS 8235 Los Angeles, CA 90045 NCAA Clearinghouse 301 ACT Drive - Box 4043 Iowa City, IA 52243-4043 Toll Free – Domestic: (877) 262-1492 Foreign Calls: (319) 337-1492 www.ncaaclearinghouse.net WHAT CAN I RECEIVE FROM LMU You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangement such as cash, clothing, cars, improper expenses, transportation, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or attend an NCAA college. Loyola Marymount University may offer you a oneyear scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. The institution can recommend that this aid be renewed each year, as is the general practice at LMU. 32 L M U
What do I need to do in order to play at LMU as a freshman? If you intend to participate in Division I or II athletics as a freshman, you must register and be certified by the NCAA InitialEligibility Clearinghouse. You can register by going on-line on the internet at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net. You will need a major credit card to complete the registration. The registration fee is $50 for domestic prospects ($75 for foreign prospects). When you're finished, print out the registration form, sign it and present it to your high school counselor. They will send the form along with an official copy of your high-school transcripts to the NCAA Clearinghouse for processing. Additionally, you must arrange for official SAT or ACT scores to be sent to the Clearinghouse directly by the testing agency. This can be done on-line at the testing agency's website. If you have questions, you or your high school counselor can obain assistance by calling the NCAA Clearinghouse toll-free at 877-262-1492. After graduation and before the school closes for the summer, your counselor must send the Clearinghouse a copy of your final transcript that confirms graduation from high school. How do I know if I'm being recruited? You become a "prospective student-athlete" when you start ninth-grade classes. Before the ninth grade, you become a prospective student-athlete if a college gives you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the college does not provide to prospective students generally. You become a "recruited prospective student-athlete" at a particular college if any coach approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches that cause you to become a recruited prospective student-athlete are: (1) providing you with an official visit; (2) placing more than one telephone call to you or any other member of your family; or (3) visiting you or any other member of your family anywhere other than the college campus; or (4) issuing to you a National Letter of Intent or written offer of athletically related financial aid. Boosters: In addition to general recruiting regulations, no alumni, boosters or representatives of a college's athletics interests can be involved in your recruitment. There can be no phone calls or letters from boosters. If an LMU booster is contacting you, please call the LMU Compliance Office as soon as possible at (310) 3387789. Don't risk your NCAA eligibility! When can I talk to the coach and have him/her see me play? TELEPHONE CALLS In all Sports Other Than Football and Basketball A college coach (but not a booster) is permitted to call you (or your parents or legal guardians) on or after July 1 following the completion of your junior year in high school. On or after July 1 after the completion of your junior year in high school, a college coach is permitted to call you only one time per week. Exception for Men's Basketball ONLY Only in the sport of men's basketball, a college coach (but not a booster) is permitted to call you (or your parents or legal guardians) one time per month on or after June 15 of your sophomore year in high school through July 31 of your junior year in high school. Coaches are permitted to call you two (2) times per week on or after August 1 prior to your senior year in high school. For junior college and four-year transfer prospects, you may only receive one phone call per week, regardless of the time period. Exception for Women's Basketball ONLY Only in the sport of women's basketball, a college coach (but not a booster) is permitted to call you (or your parents or legal guardians) one time during each of the months of April and May of your junior year in high school.

In addition, you can receive three phone calls during the month of July following your junior year in high school, with no more than one call per week. On or after August 1 prior to your senior year in high school, you can receive no more than one phone call per week.

At the completion of your junior
year (after July 1), coaches may also accept collect calls from you, using our toll-free number (1-800-LIONS-R-1). In men's basketball ONLY, coaches may accept a toll-free call from you no earlier than the conclusion of your sophomore year in high school. RECRUITING CALENDARS Keep in mind that every sport has a different recruiting calendar. A coach in a particular sport may or may not be permitted to call you during certain times of the year. When you do speak to a college coach, be sure to ask about the recruiting calendar so you understand when you can accept phone calls from college coaches. You can also find the recruiting calendars for all sports on-line at www.ncaa.org. OFF-CAMPUS CONTACTS In all Sports Other Than Football and Basketball A college coach is permitted to contact you in person off the college campus only on or after July 1 after the completion of your junior year in high school. A contact is any face-to-face meeting between a college coach or athletics staff member and you or your parents, during which any of you say more than "hello." Also, any such face-to-face meeting that is prearranged or that takes place on your campus, at an organized competition or practice involving you or your high school, preparatory school, twoyear college or all-star team shall be considered a contact, regardless of the conversation. Currently in all sports other than football, college coaches may contact you off the college campus no more than three times. However, a college coach may visit your high school (with the approval of your high school principal) only once a week during a contact period. Junior college prospects who are non-qualifiers as determined by the NCAA Clearinghouse may not be recruited until they have completed one academic year at the junior college.

Further, all communication between you, your relatives, legal guardians, your coach, or anyone else involved with your participation in basketball, directly or indirectly, and a college coach during the month of July is prohibited. EVALUATIONS An evaluation is any off-campus activity used to assess your academic qualifications or athletics ability, including a visit to your high school (during which no contact occurs) or watching you practice or compete at any site. Currently in all sports other than football and women's basketball, a college coach is limited to seven opportunities (contacts and evaluations combined) to recruit you and not more than three of the seven opportunities may be contacts. In women's basketball, coaches have a limit of five opportunities with which to recruit you (contact and evaluations combined) off the college campus. Not more than three of those five opportunities may be contacts. Once you sign a National Letter of Intent, you may be evaluated an unlimited number of times by a college coach from the college with which you have signed. LETTERS AND RECRUITING MATERIALS In all sports other than men's basketball, letters (including emails) and printed recruiting information may be sent to you starting September 1st at the beginning of your junior year in high school. In men's basketball, you may receive these materials after June 15 at the completion of your sophomore year in high school. This information can only be sent to you through regular mail services.

LMU LIONS
A DECADE OF
SUCCESS 11TH YEAR HEAD COACH FRANK CRUZ Having established himself as one of the most respected collegiate coaches in the nation, Frank Cruz is in his 11th season directing the LMU baseball program. Cruz turned the program into an instant winner, claiming three consecutive West Coast Conference Championships (the first time in school history), two Coast Division titles, and earning three straight appearances in the NCAA Regionals from 1998-2000. Cruz, who was selected by USA Baseball as head coach of the 2004 national team, just completed a four-year term on the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee. Cruz enters the 2007 season ranking eighth all-time and second among active coaches in the West Coast Conference in career victories with 284 wins as LMU's skipper. Joining the Lions in 1997, Cruz's impact on the WCC was almost immediate. In his first season at the helm, he took a team that finished sixth in the conference with an overall record of 21-39 to three straight first-place finishes. That includes finishes of 34-23-1 in 1998, 33-28 in 1999, and 40-19 in 2000. The 40 wins ranks fourth alltime at LMU for victories in a single-season. The success in 2000 earned Cruz his second WCC Coach of the Year honor, following his first in 1998. In just the second season under Cruz, the Lions won the WCC title and earned a trip to the NCAA Regionals in 1998, where they shocked the baseball world by upsetting No. 2-ranked Stanford in Palo Alto thanks in part to a complete game effort by freshman Michael Schultz. Schultz and catcher Scott Walter were named Freshmen All-Americans, and Schultz earned a spot on the West Regional team after helping LMU defeat Stanford for the first time in school history. Walter was the 1998 WCC Player of the Year, while Schultz garnered WCC Pitcher of the Year honors. The Lions found themselves in the Regionals again in 1999 and 2000, as Cruz has led LMU to eight NCAA Regional games in just seven years. In 1999, LMU defended its WCC Championship against Pepperdine, winning its first back-to-back conference title in school history. Traber and Anthony Angel each earned firstteam All-WCC honors, with Traber posting a team-high 135 strikeouts in 120.0 innings. The selection marked Angel's second straight all-conference honor after he hit .322 with 16 doubles, four home runs, and 38 RBI. Behind the efforts of All-American Traber in 2000, LMU earned a 6-4 NCAA postseason win over No.2-seed Cal State Fullerton. Traber's complete game, 13-strikeout performance advanced the Lions to the Regional winner's bracket. Walter joined Traber as an All-American after leading LMU to its third-straight WCC Championship. 34 L M U
The rise in the WCC is a tribute to Cruz's reputation as one of the nation's top recruiters. In 1997, Collegiate Baseball tabbed Cruz as the Recruiter of the Year. He accomplished that honor after formulating the nation's 16th best recruiting class which included 2000's 16th overall draft pick in Traber. In 2004, Cruz led an LMU squad that was picked to finish fourth in the conference to LMU's best WCC record in eight seasons, going a league-best 20-7 en route to his third WCC Coach of the Year selection. The Coast Division Champions, LMU earned the right to host the WCC Championship Series at Page Stadium. Lion pitcher Stephen Kahn brought the WCC Pitcher of the Year selection to LMU for the second time in four seasons, as Billy Traber won the conference award in 2000. The 2005 season was another thriller for LMU fans, who watched Cruz and the Lions string together one exciting twist after another. The Lions posted six consecutive Tuesday victories, including an April 5th win over top-ranked Cal State Fullerton. The victory over the Titans marked the first time any LMU sport had ever defeated the nation's top team. The mid-week streak sparked Cruz and the Lions to the hottest regular season finish in program history, as they won 14 of their final 16 games to earn their second straight Coast Division title. LMU hosted the WCC Championship Series for the fourth time in seven seasons, with all three games televised on Fox Sports Net. Cruz's tireless efforts also helped him earn a position as an assistant coach with the 2000 USA National Baseball program. The team wrapped up the 2000 Qwest Red, White and Blue Tour with a 27-3-1 record, including a 6-0 mark in the final tournament of the summer season leading to the 2000 Olympics in Australia. Cruz helped lead Team USA to finish the season with a 21-game unbeaten streak which included 20 wins and one tie. Cruz and the Team USA coaches led the National Team to a .900 winning percentage, the best in USA Baseball history. His success with the 2000 National Team led to his 2004 selection as head coach of Team USA. Cruz led the 2004 USA Baseball National Team of collegiate players to the program's first gold medal at the FISU World University Championships in Tainan, Taiwan. Cruz and Team USA went a perfect 6-0 in round robin pool play and then defeated Chinese Taipei (5-2) and Japan (4-2) to capture the gold medal. The Americans entered the championship with a 10-7 record, but then won eight straight in Taiwan and 12 of their last 14 under Cruz. The USA captured the gold with a combined dominating performance at the plate, on the mound, and in the field. Cruz's offense led the eight-team field hitting
2007 LMU .307. His pitching staff was nearly untouchable, combining for an 1.19 ERA and striking out 83 batters in 68.0 innings. For continuing a tradition of excellence within the national program, Cruz was named 2004 USA Baseball Developmental Coach of the Year. The International Baseball Federation then named him International Coach of the Year, selecting Cruz from a pool of managers from all 112 participating member countries and all team levels. The award is a special honor in a year of Olympic competition, as Cruz was chosen from a pool that included all nations' Olympic baseball coaches. Cruz became just the fourth American coach to receive the selection, and the first since 1995. He is the only Team USA coach to win the award in an Olympic year. In 20 years of national team competition, USA Baseball has now won five gold medals. In his two stints with the national team, Cruz has played a role in two of those five gold medals. He is now one of just three coaches to be a part of multiple gold-medal-winning squads and is the first USA Baseball National Team Head Coach to be affiliated with the West Coast Conference. Kahn joined Cruz on the award-winning national team in 2004. Other accomplishments for Cruz include coaching MLB's top prospects. Benny Craig (19th round, Cincinnati Reds) kicked-off the now common development of post-collegiate career for Cruz's players when he was selected following Cruz's first season at LMU. Matt Riordan (14th round, Baltimore Orioles) and Curt Fiore (34th round, Atlanta Braves) followed in Craig's footsteps when they were selected in the 1999 MLB draft. Joe Sulentor also signed with the Minnesota Twins following his 1999 season. Six players were then selected in the 2000 draft, including Traber (first round, New York Mets), Schultz (second round, Arizona Diamondbacks), Walter (third round, Kansas City Royals), Jason Aspito (ninth round, Chicago White Sox), Angel (14th round, Houston Astros) and current LMU assistant coach Benny Bonilla (free agent, Arizona Diamondbacks). Two more were taken in 2001, with C.J. Wilson (5th Round, Texas Rangers) and James Clelland (free agent, Montreal Expos) moving to the next level of their playing careers. The 2005 season saw Wilson make his major league debut with the Rangers. The 2003 draft saw four more draft selections for Cruz and the Lions: Joshua Muecke (fifth round, Houston Astros), Josh Whitesell (sixth round, Montreal Expos), Vince Cordova (ninth round, New York Mets), and Ryan Yurek (24th round, Houston Astros). Following the 2004 season, Will Quaglieri signed with the New York Mets pre-draft as a fifth-year senior, just before Kevin Jenson (30th round, San Francisco Giants) and Billy Lockin (37th round, Arizona Diamondbacks) added to the list of drafted Lions. Jonathan Higashi (Texas Rangers), Brady Koch (Houston Astros), and Clint McGill (Houston Astros) also signed professional contracts as the Class of 2004. With three players drafted in the first 10 rounds, the 2005 season saw a total of six Lions move on to professional baseball. Kahn was the highest of all WCC players selected, going to the Seattle Mariners in the fifth round. Jeff Stevens was a sixth round selection of Cincinnati, while James Cooper was taken in the ninth round by the New York Yankees. Joe Frazee signed with Philadelphia after being chosen the 25th round, while Kyle Mura was selected in the 49th round by the Chicago Cubs. Mura elected to return to the Lions for his senior campaign. Kyle Huddy also went on to sign with the Cincinnati Reds. Most recently, Chris Pettit (19th round, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) and Mura (42nd round, Saint Louis Cardinals) signed professional contracts following their four-year LMU careers in 2006. In just his first season, Pettit was named a minor league all-star. During his 10 seasons, Cruz's teams have set many singleseason records. In 2000, his squad made its mark in the LMU record book with home runs (81, 2nd all-time), hits (702, 3rd all-time), doubles (132, 3rd all-time), runs (516, 5th all-time), wins (40, 4th all-time), winning percentage (.678, 4th all-time) and batting average .331, 4th all-time). Many of his players have broken into a variety of single-season and all-time record continued

2007 LMU continued categories in both the LMU and WCC record books. The 2006 squad was one of LMU’s top-3 defensive teams of all time, registering a .970 team fielding percentage. One of the keys in the drastic turnaround has been Cruz's involvement in the improvements of LMU's baseball facilities. The six-time conference champions enjoy one of the most noteable enhancements to Page Stadium, the Mikos Blue Monster. The massive left-field wall makes the ballpark one of the most unique in all of college baseball. In addition, the team has been playing on a new grass infield, and the stadium was equipped with backstop netting, windscreens, a sound system, backstop padding, astroturf dugouts, and lighted batting tunnels. During the winter of 2003, Cruz initiated the renovation of the baseball weight room. The room, which features wall-to-wall mirrors and new equipment, displays program and individual honors, including past conference player/pitcher of the year recipients. The improvements encourage LMU players to reach that level of excellence. Cruz also oversaw the construction of Pride Park, the new entrance to Page Stadium, beginning in May 2004. The park, resembling a scaled down baseball infield, recognizes alumni and friends of LMU baseball and provides fans with a gathering point for athletic events at LMU. Pride Park features a brick infield with commemorative benches surrounding the area. LMU baseball's WCC Championship teams, NCAA tournament appearances, and those players who have had jersey numbers retired are recognized on the benches. Cruz didn’t stop there, turning his efforts toward LMU’s baseball lastest project: a baseball training den. With construction set to begin near the start of the 2007 season, the 8,000 square foot training den will feature three hitting tunnels, pitching mounds, and a baseball strength/weight room. The facility will be completed in the summer of 2007. Named to his current post on June 20, 1996, Cruz has employed a highly successful coaching and teaching philosophy from his experience as a high school coach and a former assistant coach under Mike Gillespie at USC. Prior to coming to LMU, Cruz spent four seasons as an assistant on the USC coaching staff. Cruz's primary responsibilities were with the Trojan hitters and outfielders, two of the team's strongest areas. In Cruz's four years at Southern California, the Trojans were one of the most successful programs in the nation, boasting an overall record of 169-86-1 (.662). During that span, USC made four NCAA Regional final appearances, captured two Pacific-10 championships, and advanced to the 1995 College World Series championship game. Cruz moved to USC after a successful stint at Los Angeles' University High School, where he taught health and physical education. While at University, Cruz posted a 152-68 career record and led his team to the 1988 L.A. City baseball title, four Western League crowns (1988-90-91-92), and six trips to the city baseball playoffs. Cruz was honored as area Coach of the Year on three occasions. He remained a part-time teacher through the 1995-96 academic year. Cruz attended Santa Monica College and then transferred to Pepperdine, where he earned both a bachelors (physical education, 1983) and masters (education, 1989) degree. He is a graduate of Saint Monica High School and now resides in West Los Angeles.

The cornerstone of the award circles around hard work, dedication to the sport, competing at the highest possible level, and promoting a team environment.

LMU BASEBALL’S RETIRED JERSEYS For the first time in the history of LMU Athletics, the jerseys of three former Lion baseball players were retired during the 2000 season. The three individuals Jerry Stone (10), Billy Bean (44), and Tim Layana (54) not only distinguished themselves as some of the best athletes in the country, but also represented LMU with dignity and pride. A ceremony was held to officially retire the jerseys of these outstanding individuals. Their names, numbers and accomplishments will forever be etched into LMU history.
...page stadium 1 1 Retired jersey numbers displayed in Pride Park.
10 JERRY STONE A three-year starter for the Lions, Jerry Stone played an integral role in guiding Loyola to its first conference baseball championship in 1973. One of the greatest catchers in school history, Stone had his jersey retired on March 11, 2000, prior to LMU’s game against USF. Stone, a firstteam All-WCAC and All-District VIII pick his junior year, also earned first-team All-America accolades issued by Collegiate Baseball in 1973. A switch-hitter during the wooden bat era, Stone still ranks as an all-time top-10 statistical leader at LMU in single-season walks (45), while his 106 career walks rank No. 5. He hit above .300 for each of his three seasons with the Lions. One of Stone’s greatest accomplishments included leading the Lions to their first postseason appearance in school history, a berth in the NCAA District VIII playoffs in 1973. He was drafted in the fourth round by the San Diego Padres. 44 BILLY BEAN One of the greatest hitters to ever grace the diamond at LMU, Billy Bean had his jersey retired on March 11, 2000, during pregame ceremonies prior to LMU’s game against USF. Bean was one of many great players who helped guide the Lions to the 1986 College World Series. A two-time first-team All-WCC and All-District-VIII pick, Bean earned honorable-mention All-America honors following his junior year by Collegiate Baseball. With an even greater performance his senior year, Bean was tabbed a second-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1986. Bean still holds the WCC record for single-season walks with 66. He also holds the LMU record in single-season runs scored with 84, a mark that ranks third in the WCC record book. Of the WCC's nine all-time career offensive categories, Bean ranks in the top-10 in five of them. Following his standout LMU career, the Detroit Tigers selected him in the fourth round of the 1986 draft, and Bean went on to play for the Tigers in the majors from 1987-1989. He also spent time with Los Angeles (1989) and San Diego (1993-1995). Most recently, Bean was named to the WCC/Rawlings 40th Anniversary Team, recognizing him as one of the WCC’s all-time top-40 players.

54 TIM LAYANA One of the greatest pitchers in LMU history, Tim Layana had his jersey retired during pregame ceremonies prior to LMU’s game against San Francisco on March 11, 2000. Layana’s prowess helped guide the Lions to the College World Series in 1986. A first-team All-WCC pick as a senior, Layana was tabbed the conference Pitcher of the Year and earned first-team All-District VIII honors. Selected a second-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association following the 1986 campaign, Layana re-wrote many of the pitching records in LMU baseball history. He is the WCC record-holder in innings pitched, tallying 511.0 innings of work over his career. He also holds the LMU record for complete games (33), wins (35), and strikeouts (405). His 405 career strikeouts and 35 career wins rank second and fourth among WCC all-time leaders. After guiding the Lions to their second conference title and second NCAA Regional berth in 1986, Layana, who tragically passed away in an automobile accident on June 25, 1999, was drafted in the third round by the New York Yankees. Inducted into the LMU Athletic Hall of Fame, Layana played professionally with the Yankees, Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants. Although he did not appear on Cincinnati’s roster during its World Series sweep of the Oakland Athletics in 1990, Layana posted a record of 5-3 that year with a 3.49 ERA. He also had two saves in 55 appearances. Layana totaled a 5-5 career record in the majors with two saves in 78 appearances. Most recently, Layana was named to the WCC/Rawlings 40th Anniversary Team, recognizing him as one of the WCC’s all-time top-40 players.
