2 Cal Sets Sights on NCAA Title Women s Golf Media Guide 2004 SEASON OUTLOOK With three consecutive NCAA Championships appear ances to its credit, Sofie Andersson the California women s golf team looks to show it s a perennial national title contender in The Golden Bears have improved each season they have advanced, from 19th in 2001 to 15th in 2002 to a tie for 14th last spring. However, the disappointment of last season s NCAA showing, when they entered the competition with a No. 2 ranking, has provided the motivation for Cal to not just return to the 2004 NCAA Championships but to strive for the winner s podium. There s a bitter taste in their mouths, said ninth-year head coach Nancy McDaniel, who was named the 2003 National Golf Coaches Association and Golfweek Coach of the Year. We re learning from that every day. We re staying on top of our commitments and not letting anything slide. Our seniors have a lot of pride and take last year s NCAA performance to heart. Even though last season didn t culminate as the Bears would have hoped, there were many highlights. Cal claimed a nation s-best seven tournament titles three in the fall and four in the spring including its first ever Pac-10 and NCAA regional championships. Vikki Laing, who has since graduated and has joined the LPGA tour, won the school s first conference individual title over the 2003 NCAA champion, Mikaela Parmlid from USC, and took second at the NCAA Central Regional. Laing and Sarah Huarte were chosen as Cal s first All-Americans for women s golf. The Bears also had a program-record six golfers earn allconference recognition Laing and Huarte on the first team, Ria Quiazon on the second team and Claire Dury, Sophia Sheridan and Mika Takayama received honorable mention honors. The Bears are deep again this season, with five golfers being ranked in the top 80 nationally by Golfweek and six sport fall averages under 76. They also benefit from international experience, as Dury (New Zealand), Sheridan (Mexico) and Sofie Andersson (Sweden) all have played for their country s national teams. Three seniors look to make sure Cal s season ends as well as it started. Huarte led the Bears to a season-opening 20-shot victory at The Topy Cup by taking second in the individual race. A second team Golfweek preseason All-American, Huarte led Cal during the fall with a 73.4 stroke average, which is on pace to break Laing s school record of 74.3 set last season. We called upon Sarah to get more experience at the national level, and she played tournaments all summer, said McDaniel of the nation s No. 17-ranked golfer. She came back with a fire and maturity about her that s going to take her a long way. If she stays on top of her game, she will likely lead our team in the spring. Dury has been a sparkplug for the Bears since enrolling at Cal for the spring 2002 semester from Massey University in New Zealand. She has performed well at NCAA regionals each year, tying for 12th with a 222 at the 2002 West Regional and earning all-region accolades for a fourthplace showing (221) at the 2003 Central Regional. Claire attacked her weaknesses in the offseason, said McDaniel. A breakout for her is right around the corner. We look for big things from her this spring. Anna Temple has shown the most improvement of Cal s returners. As a junior last season, the Berkeley native was chosen as the team s Most Improved Player after posting a 77.2 stroke average. Entering the spring, Temple is ranked No. 34 nationally with a 74.3 average. McDaniel credits Temple s recent development to the 34 days she spent travelling and competing over the summer on the Collegiate Asian Tour. It was an awesome opportunity for Anna, said McDaniel. She was not a big traveler, and then she went over to Asia and saw things she never saw before. She came back with a perspective on her golf game that s going to carry her through her senior season. Two super sophomores bolster the Bears lineup. Sheridan is back after posting top 30 results in seven of the 10 tournaments she competed in as a freshman and all three 2003 fall events. Her best performances last season were at the Bay Area Classic, where she took second place, and at the Kent Yoeul Invitational in Hawaii, where she grabbed fifth. Sophia s passion for the game is contagious, said McDaniel. She s an enthusiastic player who hits the ball a mile. Her spirit, coupled with her new-found consistency, have elevated her to a new level this season. The other sophomore, Andersson, is in her first season at Cal after competing as a freshman at Mississippi State and brings poise to the Bears. Andersson earned second team All-SEC recognition in on the strength of eight top 20 finishes, including four in the top 10. During the fall at Cal, she battled a back injury, but still entered three of four events and placed seventh at the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational. Sofie has been a terrific addition to our team, said McDaniel. Her attitude and calculated practices each day are valuable to our program. Sofie s attention to detail has resulted in strong iron play. The future of Cal golf lies with freshmen Danielle Nash and Eunice Yum, who are in-state products from Roseville and Torrance, respectively. Nash twice saw action in the fall, at the Stanford Intercollegiate and at the Hooters Collegiate Match Play Championship. She carded a low collegiate score of 72 in the opening round at Stanford. With Nash on the squad last year, St. Francis High School continued its streak of six consecutive Northern California golf championships. Danielle is completely coachable, said McDaniel. We re going to see some outstanding golf from her in the next few years. With each collegiate tournament, she becomes a better player. Yum will likely redshirt the season. She is a three-time MVP of South High School s golf team and is the school s three-time Athlete of the Year. Eunice has been a great team player, said McDaniel. Developing her distance is one of her focuses. Once she gets that down, she ll be ready to play in our top five. Cal s lineup is clearly stocked with athletes who can put Cal in the national championship picture again this year. They approach everything they do with a national championship in mind, said McDaniel. We want to be in the mix, not the light mix, though. We want to be in the last group, on the last day, at the last tournament, and have a good time playing good golf. With that attitude and their prior NCAA experience, Cal may return from Alabama in late May with the sweet taste of victory and a national championship trophy. Sophia Sheridan

14 One of the real success stories for the University of California in recent years is the development and growth of a comprehensive academic support program for its student-athletes the Academic Programs for Student-Athletes. In 1984, campus officials and Athletic Department administrators decided that a greater emphasis needed to be placed on helping Cal studentathletes with their academic pursuits. The Academic Programs for Student-Athletes was thus born and charged with developing an academic support program geared to the needs of NCAA Division I student-athletes. It was a significant development for an academically-oriented institution such as Cal to recognize the special needs required for a modern studentathlete s success both as an athletic competitor and in the classroom. The Academic Program for Student-Athletes, which is housed under the University s Student Life Educational Development cluster, is the tutorial and academic support program for the nearly 1,000 student-athletes at Cal. Centrally-located in the César E. Chavez Student Center, the program provides a spacious and comfortable arboretum for quiet study, separate classrooms for individual and group tutorials, and a computer lab for word processing and required course work. Geared around the understanding of the amount of time student-athletes must devote to practice, training, physical therapy and team travel, the ACADEMIC SUPPORT Academic Honors Academic All-Pac Eden Anderson (honorable mention) Nicole Bolter (honorable mention) Annie Donnelly (honorable mention) Eden Anderson (second team) Nicole Bolter (honorable mention) Eden Anderson (first team) Nicole Bolter (second team) Anne Walker (honorable mention) Nicole Bolter (first team) Anne Walker (first team) Christine Romer (honorable mention) Anne Walker (first team) Vikki Laing (honorable mention) Ria Quiazon (honorable mention) Amber Reilly (honorable mention) Christine Romer (honorable mention) Anne Walker (first team) Sarah Huarte (honorable mention) Amber Reilly (honorable mention) Claire Dury (second team) Sarah Huarte (second team) Vikki Laing (honorable mention) Ria Quiazon (honorable mention) NGCA Academic All-American Eden Anderson Eden Anderson Nicole Bolter Eden Anderson Nicole Bolter Nicole Bolter Anne Walker Anne Walker Anne Walker Ria Quiazon, here with Patrick Fisher of men s soccer, received the 2003 Anna Espenschade Award for Golden Bear spirit on an athletic team. program creates an environment where students can cultivate good study habits, receive individual or group tutoring and obtain counseling from academic advisors. The tutorial component promotes and enhances students academic skills and progress by providing individual tutoring, group workshops, study groups, credit courses and intensive special programs. The program focuses mainly on freshman and sophomores, and the Center uses between tutors per semester to guarantee that as many courses as possible are covered. Tutorial sessions are also offered at night enabling studentathletes to receive help after practices when they have more time to devote to studying. The advising component offers a broad range of services and programs to meet the unique needs and bipolar demands of student-athletes, including assistance in understanding and complying with University, college and NCAA rules, developing time management skills and resolving personal issues unique to student-athletes. During the freshman year, advisors typically try to help student-athletes make a successful academic transition from high school, while during the sophomore year, they assist student-athletes in making decisions on appropriate majors and fields of study. For the final two years, advisors take more of an exiting approach, ensuring that proper academic progress is being made and referring juniors and seniors to areas on campus that can help with internships, graduate school applications and career planning. In addition, the Academic Program for Student-Athletes offers a sixweek Summer Bridge program designed to help ease the transition from high school to college. Because of the overall success of its advising and tutorial programs, the academic performance and graduation rates of Cal s student-athletes have improved significantly. Cal golfers are well prepared for life after graduation regardless of their interests. For example, Eden Anderson (class of 00), a Phi Beta Kappa honoree, is attending Cal s nationally-renowned Boalt Law School and Annie Donnelly (class of 99) is enrolled at USC s School of Dentistry Women s Golf Media Guide

15 STRENGTH & CONDITIONING An integral part of the athletics department at the University of California is the strength and conditioning program. Saleem Muhammed works closely with the women s golf program. The program s overall philosophy is geared towards helping each studentathlete achieve the highest level of athletic development. The Cal golf team is immersed in a regimen that is customized to meet its needs. The program utilizes a combination of medicine ball, physioball, and balance bar exercises to develop each athlete s balance, stability and flexibility. These areas are important to the improvement of the power and range of a golfer s swing and the prevention of injuries. Golfers are tested for their range of stretching. Saleem Muhammed Forest then designs a corrective stretching program and monitors each athlete s improvement. Our golfers benefit from a cutting-edge strength and conditioning program, said Cal head coach Nancy McDaniel. Through the use of plyometrics, medicine balls and specific cardiovascular exercises, we have seen the time in the weight room translate into results on the golf course. Cal features state-of-the-art weight rooms at Haas Pavilion and Memorial Stadium. The newer weight room at Haas Pavilion includes six Olympic platforms, more than 5,000 pounds of Olympic bars and bumper plates, and an array of aerobic and anaerobic equipment. The facility is brightly designed and overlooks Evans Baseball Diamond to the west. The The Bears train with a variety of strength and flexibility exercises. square foot weight room in Memorial Stadium offers similar equipment and panoramic views of the entire region. All workouts are closely monitored and designed to help each athlete increase her ability and ultimately perform at her peak. The California women s golf team has a tradition of devoting the first weekend of the fall session to team building. The players and coaches retreat to either the mountains of Tahoe, the East Bay Hills, or simply stay around campus and make use of the wonderful sports facilities. The tradition started in 1998 and has become an important part of the season. During that weekend, the team hikes, plays a number of different sports and games, watches movies and eats a lot of pizza. The Golden Bears work with The Todd Company during the retreat. Roland Todd, a former NBA Portland Trailblazers coach, and his wife, Sharon, meet with the team for a five-hour session, helping the team build a solid foundation of commitments. The goals are to create team unity and to quickly integrate the freshmen into the program. The Todd Company has worked with many national championship teams, including the 2002 California softball squad. The group also works with many professional teams and athletes. Roland and Sharon help us work on our championship team model, define our goals and commitments, and provide us with techniques to deal with conflict, said former Bear Ria Quiazon. They are an essential part of the engine that keeps our team driving forward. When we return home from our team-building weekend, there is a strong feeling of confidence within the team, said Cal assistant coach Anne Walker. We are confident in our friendships, in our commitments and in our ability to win a national championship. It sets the tone for the rest of the season. The team members feel that teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision and to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. The Cal women s golf team also believes teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon TEAM BUILDING The team building program incorporates a variety of outings geared toward team bonding and goal setting. results. The team-building weekends and bi-monthly meetings are a time to review our championship team model, which is based around: honest relationships, commitments, leadership, support, straight talk, proactive listening, speedy resolutions and coaching as the catalyst. Team building is an essential part of the Golden Bears program. Working on relationships, integrity and graciousness are as important to the team as working on their own individual skills Women s Golf Media Guide 15

16 The University of California is one of the world s leading academic institutions. The school, known throughout the world as Cal, is truly a prototype of a contemporary university. It attracts what many consider the finest applicant pool in the country, generates an ethnically and culturally diverse student population on campus, and provides one of the finest learning experiences in the world today. The Berkeley campus is renowned for the size and quality of its libraries and laboratories, the scope of its research and publications, and the distinction of its faculty and students. National rankings consistently place Cal s undergraduate and graduate programs among the very best. The faculty includes eight Nobel Laureates, 124 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 19 MacArthur Fellows, 81 Fulbright Scholars, three Pulitzer Prize winners and more Guggenheim Fellows (138) than any other university in the country. The quality of Cal s diverse and independent student body complements the stature of the faculty. More than 33,000 students annually enroll at Cal. Of these, about 23,000 are undergraduates. Students come to Berkeley from all over California, in addition to every state in the union and more than 2,000 students from 75 countries around the world. Overlooking San Francisco Bay, the campus is a lush and tranquil 1,232-acre oasis in an urban setting. The grounds have retained much of the beauty of their rural beginnings. Spacious lawns, hiking and running trails, as well as groves of oak, redwood and eucalyptus blend with the Neoclassical architecture of John Galen Howard. The University is bordered by the wooded rolling hills of Tilden Regional Park and the City of Berkeley, one of America s most lively, Women s Golf Media Guide THE UNIVERSITY culturally diverse and politically adventurous municipalities. By any standard, Cal offers its students one of the best educations available. Since its birth it has earned a reputation unmatched by any public university in America. According to a recent study by the National Research Council, Cal ranks first nationally in both the number of graduate programs in the Top 10 in their fields (97 percent) and the number of distinguished programs for the scholarship of the faculty (32 programs). Although Cal is well known for its stellar graduate programs, undergraduate teaching is a campus priority. Nearly half of all courses offered at the undergraduate level have 25 students or fewer, and many lecture courses include smaller laboratory or study group sections which allow close interaction with professors and other instructors. Cal offers a wide arena for academic endeavor and personal growth with more than 7,000 courses in nearly 300 degree programs. Exceptional support services such as the Student Learning Center, Career and Graduate School Services, the Disabled Students Program, and campus and alumni mentor programs reflect Cal s strong commitment to undergraduate education. Study abroad is available to undergraduate students through the Education Abroad Program, which maintains more than 90 study centers in countries such as Australia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Thailand. Each year, more than 8,500 students receive degrees from the University about 5,500 bachelor s degrees, 2,000 master s degrees, 900 doctorates and 200 law degrees. The excellence of the University s intercollegiate athletic program rivals the school s academic reputation as Cal boasts one of the finest all-around programs in the nation. Twentyseven sports men s and women s basketball, crew, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track & field and water polo; men s baseball, football and rugby; along with women s softball, volleyball, field hockey and lacrosse are sponsored by the University. Over the years, Cal has captured more than 60 national team championships most recently softball, men s crew and rugby in 2002 while claiming over 105 NCAA individual championships in a variety of sports. This past season, six coaches received Conference Coach of the Year honors, Natalie Coughlin was named the NCAA Swimmer of the Year and the tandem of Christina Fusano and Raquel Kops-Jones were chosen the national Doubles Team of the Year in tennis. In addition, Cal has a host of other features, including public lectures and concerts, campussponsored forums and seminars, clubs and workshops, dramatic presentations, international festivals, art, photographic, design, architectural, anthropological and archaeological exhibits and displays, and dozens of bookstores within one-square mile all of this making Berkeley one of the most intellectually stimulating communities in the country.
