8 Head Coach John Dunning John Dunning John Dunning has an overall record of (.857) and two NCAA Championship Titles on The Farm John Dunning is no stranger to success. As Dunning enters his sixth season as the Cardinal s head coach, Stanford has further strengthened its hold as one of the premier collegiate volleyball programs in the United States. Head Coach Dunning took over the reins of the Cardinal program in July of 2001 and in his first year coached Stanford to the NCAA National Championship. In 2002, Stanford finished second in the NCAA title match. In 2004, Stanford reached the title match of the NCAA Tournament for the third time in the last four years, and once again with Dunning at the helm, captured the NCAA crown with a three-game sweep over Minnesota. His overall record of (.849) on The Farm is equally impressive. In 21 years as a head coach at Pacific ( ) and Stanford (2001-), Dunning has chalked up an impressive record of and his winning percentage (.820) ranks among the top five winningest active coaches in NCAA history (Division I). In 2005, Dunning was named recipient (along with Penn State s Russ Rose) of the USA Volleyball All-Time Great Coach Awards. The award is presented each year by USA Volleyball, the National Governing Body of the sport, to recognize the all-time great coaches of volleyball. In 2004, Dunning coached the Cardinal to a 30-6 overall record and a national title. For Stanford, it was the school s sixth NCAA title in volleyball, its 24th NCAA Tournament appearance, and its 15th Final Four appearance. With victory came numerous post-season honors. Ogonna Nnamani, Stanford s top player, gained AVCA All-American honors for a fourth-straight season. In addition, Nnamani was named the 2005 Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year (Honda-Broderick Cup), 2005 NCAA Today s Top Eight Award recipient, Pac- 10 Player of the Year and recipient of an NCAA post-graduate scholarship in Kristin Richards was named a Volleyball Magazine First-Team All-American, and an allconference first team selection. Franci Girard, Katie Goldhahn, Leahi Hall, Jen Hucke, Bryn Kehoe, Courtney Schultz and Lizzie Suiter were the other players who also gained numerous post-season athletic and academic honors in addition to Nnamani and Richards. Three seasons ago (2003), Dunning led the Cardinal to a 25-7 overall record and their 23rd-consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament. Ogonna Nnamani was honored as an AVCA First-Team All-American while teammate Jennifer Harvey was a second team selection. Kristin Richards was tabbed Pac-10 Freshman of the Year as well as Volleyball Magazine s National Freshman of the Year. In his five years on The Farm, Dunning has had seven athletes earn 13 All-America honors and has coached two players who became National Player of the Year. The 2002 season saw Dunning lead the Cardinal to a 32-5 record and another NCAA Final Four appearance. Stanford finished as the NCAA National Runner-Up while three players were tabbed AVCA All- Americans, including National Player of the Year Logan Tom. Outside hitter Ogonna Nnamani was also honored as an Academic All-American. In his first season at the helm of the Cardinal program, Dunning led Stanford to an unprecedented fifth NCAA Championship and ninth Pac- 10 Conference title.

9 Head Coach John Dunning on The Farm. Dunning also became the first Division I head coach to win a national championship in his first season at two different schools (Pacific and Stanford). For his efforts he was honored as the Pac-10 Coach of the Year as well as the AVCA National Coach of the Year. Dunning had two athletes named AVCA All-Americans including National Player of the Year Logan Tom. Three players garnered First- Team All-Pac-10 honors while one, Ogonna Nnamani, was tabbed Conference Freshman of the Year as well as ASICS/Volleyball Magazine National Freshman of the Year. Dunning, who spent 16 seasons at Pacific before coming to Stanford, compiled an impressive (.811) record during his tenure in Stockton. He led the Tigers to two NCAA Championships, an NCAA runner-up finish, five Big West Conference titles and 16 consecutive NCAA postseason tournament bids. In 2000, Dunning earned Big West Coach of the Year honors for a second straight season, as the Tigers won a second-consecutive Big West title. His squad posted a 28-4 overall record and a 15-1 mark in league play. Pacific lost to UCLA in an NCAA Regional Semifinal and had two players earn All-American status (one first team and one second team selection). In addition, Dunning had four players garner first-team All-Big West accolades. In addition to back-to-back national titles in 1985 and 1986, Dunning led his teams to a combined record of in postseason action - an unmatched 10-1 record in Big West Conference Tournament play and a stellar mark in the NCAA Tournament. Of the 16 squads coached by Dunning, 14 reached the NCAA Regionals, or Sweet 16, advancing to the regional championship match seven times and the NCAA Final Four on four occasions, including He also earned Volleyball Monthly National Coach of the Year honors in 1985, his first season at Pacific. An outstanding student and teacher of the game of volleyball, Dunning has consistently helped his athletes gain individual recognition on the national stage. In his 16 years as Pacific s head coach, 16 of his athletes garnered a total of 29 All-America awards. Nine of the 16 honorees earned All- America selections in at least two seasons. Dunning can also make another claim: he is one of only two coaches to have captured national titles on three different levels. He led squads to national championships on the high school, club (Junior Olympic), and collegiate ranks. Dunning arrived at Pacific in 1985 as one of the country s top prep and junior club coaches. The founder of the national champion USVBA Bay Club, he also spent nine successful years as the head coach at Sunnyvale s Fremont High School. He founded the Bay Club in 1980 and built it into one of the country s most successful and well-managed junior programs in just four years. After being selected as the California Coaches Association Prep Coach of the Year in 1980, Dunning was a finalist for National High School Coach of the Year in His impressive high school record makes him one of the most successful prep coaches in California history. His teams were among the top five in the state each of his last six years, also capturing eight league titles and six sectional crowns. Dunning has also been considered one of the top coaches on a national level, as he was selected to coach the North squad at the 1995 U.S. Olympic Festival. He promptly led the team to a gold medal. From 1993 to 1994, Dunning served as President of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. He served the two previous years as the NCAA Division I representative to the AVCA Board of Directors, and is a member of the AVCA Division I All-America Selection Committee.

12 2006 Stanford Volleyball Outlook 2006 Stanford Women s Volleyball Outlook Ahealthy, talented volleyball team can go a long, long way toward a highly successful season. Stanford hopes that will be the successful formula this year. Hampered by key injuries during the 2005 season, the Cardinal still enjoyed a successful 26-6 overall record, a second place finish in the Pacific-10 Conference, and a 25th-consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. However, serious injuries to freshman outside hitter Cynthia Barboza and sophomore setter Bryn Kehoe, as well as nagging injuries to other key players dampened Stanford s chances at defending its NCAA title run in Barboza, a starter who suffered a torn anterior cruciate (left knee) and missed the final eleven matches of the 2005 season, has made a complete recorvery and is looking forward to Kehoe has also fully recovered from the hand injury she suffered last fall. The two starters are ready to compete this fall, along with nine other letterwinners including two-time All-American Kristin Richards. Add two outstanding freshman recruits plus a redshirt freshman, and it adds up to a Cardinal squad that will be among nationally-ranked teams that could win the NCAA championship. If you look on paper at the people we have, we have excellent depth, said head coach John Dunning, who has coached Stanford to two NCAA titles (2001, 2004) in his five previous seasons at Stanford. We have good players at each position, allowing us to compete in practice and improve throughout the entire season. We worked hard during the winter and the spring, plus the trip to Europe (where the team played six matches) helped us improve even more as we prepare for the 2006 season. At the time of her injury, Barboza had started all 21 matches, was leading the Pac-10 in kills and was third in kills per game. Barboza also was second on the Cardinal squad in hitting percentage (.306). Cynthia has recovered amazingly well, said Dunning. She has worked extremely hard. I don t know of anyone else who has done a better job of rehabbing. She has a chance to play full (100 percent) this fall which is amazing after that kind of injury. Kehoe missed the final seven matches of the regular season after suffering a broken right hand in practice. At the time of the injury, Kehoe was ranked second in the Pac-10 and third in the nation in assists per game at Despite her injury, Kehoe gained Third-Team AVCA All-American honors. Barboza and Kehoe join senior outside hitter Kristin Richards and middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo to form a high powered offense. Richards gained All-Pac-10 honors for a thirdstraight season and was named a First-Team All-American by the AVCA and ASICS/Volleyball. Richards finished first on the team in kills (544, 4.90 kpg, #3 in the Pac-10). Richards was also among the Pac-10 leaders in digs. Her 1,422 career kills is ninthbest in school history and her 1,247 career digs is fifth-best in school history. Akinradewo, the 2005 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, also gained All-Pac-10 honors and was further honored by being named a Second Team AVCA and ASICS/Volleyball All- American. Akinradewo was first for Stanford in hitting percentage (#3 in the Pac-10) and blocks S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l

13 2006 Stanford Volleyball Outlook At one time or another during the 2005 season, Lizzie Suiter, Nji Nnamani, Franci Girard, Jessica Fishburn, Erin Waller, and Michelle Mellard started or saw significant playing time. Suiter, a starter at middle blocker during Stanford s NCAA championship team in 2004, was bothered with an ankle and an eye injury that limited her to just 18 matches last year. Suiter is 100 percent healthy this year, and was among the team s top players during Stanford s summer tour of Europe in A three-year veteran at middle blocker, Mellard worked very hard during the winter and spring practices and is ready for her senior season. Nnamani, a consistent starter during the 2005 season, was fourth on the team in kills last year. She had nine double-digit matches last season, including a career-high 16 kills at USC. Girard, a valuable member of Stanford s NCAA championship team two years ago, was fifth for the Cardinal in kills last year and is now fully recovered from a serious foot injury which hampered her last season. Fishburn is the obvious choice for libero. She had a great spring season and played at a very high level in Europe. Waller will see significant time at the outside hitter position. A career-high 11 kills in 16 attempts against Nevada in the NCAA Tournament shows promise for an outstanding season for Waller in Alex Fisher, who redshirted last year due to a knee injury, will see extensive action at outside hitter. Heather Hernandez, a member of the Stanford Crew Team last year, is a new addition to the squad in One of our goals is to stay healthy, said Dunning. If we do we will be a very exciting team to watch. We hope to have a very successful Pac-10 season and do everything we can to prepare for the post-season. All the players have really improved through hard work during the off-season, so we are all excited about the start of the season. Another outstanding freshman class will enroll at Stanford in Janet Okogbaa, a middle blocker, has been a member of the U.S. Junior National Team for the past several years. Okogbaa hails from Berkeley Preparatory School in Tampa, Fla. Joanna Evans, a setter who was a member of the U.S. Junior National Team program this year, hails from Bishop O Dowd High School in Oakland, Calif. Janet is well-trained and has a lot of competitive experience, said Dunning. She is a physical player who can make a quick adjustment to the college game. We know she can add to our team. Joanna is setting on a great U.S. Junior National Team this year. Her high school team was very successful last year and she is also an accomplished beach volleyball player. We think she will be ready to play the college game this fall. Both players will fight hard to see what roles they will play. Three regular season tournaments, including a trip to the Waikiki Beach Marriott Challenge in Hawai i, a rematch against South Bay rival Santa Clara at the Stanford Invitational, and an 18-match schedule in the always tough Pacific-10 Conference highlight the 2006 Stanford Women s Volleyball schedule. This will be a very challenging non-league schedule which will lead into the Pac-10, a league that has captured five straight NCAA titles, said Dunning. The Pac-10 will again be the toughest league in the country. Stanford opens the 2006 campaign on Aug. 26 at Maples Pavilion against UC Santa Barbara. Stanford begins home Pac- 10 play against Arizona and Arizona State on Sept Stanford has appeared in all 25 NCAA tournaments S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l 11

39 Friends of Stanford Volleyball Over the last several years, the Stanford women s volleyball program has grown into one of the most successful in the nation. The many outstanding players who have worn the Cardinal and White have made this possible, but outstanding athletes are not the only requirement for a successful program. Fortunately, the Stanford Athletic Department has helped the program by increasing the funding for volleyball as the team s stature has grown. But with the budget concerns now confronting the University, and the difficulties experienced by collegiate athletic programs all across the nation, the Cardinal women s volleyball program is seeking to become more financially self-sufficient. Only in this way can we ensure that Stanford will remain atop the world of collegiate volleyball. This section will hopefully answer some of the most common questions regarding the fund raising campaign. The Quick Set Booster Club offers Stanford women s volleyball fans bus trips to away matches, barbecues and post-match gatherings with the players, among other activities. Any amount given to the club is greatly appreciated and is classified as a general tax-deductible gift to the University as are all gifts to the program. These donations are not used for scholarships, which are funded separately through the Athletic Department s endowed scholarships and the Buck/Cardinal Club, but instead go into the operating budget. That budget includes salaries, travel, equipment, recruiting, administration and every other expense i.e., everything it takes to run the program on a day-to-day and year-to-year basis. Ideally, we would like to raise enough to support the program on the interest that our funds draw. Additionally, that would provide some security in the event the Buck/Cardinal Club comes up short in its fund raising goal. In that instance, money from the volleyball operating budget might be used for scholarships. In addition to personal contributions, you can help the women s volleyball program in other ways. You can assist in fund raising by contacting other people or groups that might be interested in helping or sponsoring the team. More information is available by contacting Cobey Shoji in the Stanford women s volleyball office.

40 Stanford Volleyball Legacy Stanford Volleyball Boasting A Rich Volleyball Legacy Kristin Folkl Steve Lacey photo Since women s volleyball became a varsity sport at Stanford in 1976, the Cardinal has enjoyed a reputation as one of the nation s top programs, in every sense of the word. Not only does Stanford give talented and dedicated student-athletes a chance to get one of the best educations in the world, but Cardinal players have met with nearly unequaled success on national and international courts, both as individuals and as teams. Stanford established itself as the best team in the country in the 1990s winning four of the last eight national titles (1992, 1994, 1996 and 1997). The Cardinal continued the trend in the 2000 s with their unprecedented fifth and sixth national championships in 2001 and Stanford has posted a record 77 NCAA Tournament wins, and is one of only four teams to participate in the NCAA tournament in each of the 25 years since the tournament began. This includes a 15-7, 15-3, 15-5 triumph over Hawaii in the 1996 National Championship match that was the most lopsided final in NCAA history. Stanford has also reached the Final Four 14 times in the last 25 seasons, and produced 52 All-American honors in the last 23 years. Stanford has amassed an amazing all-time record since 1976 (.802 winning percentage), and has finished in the top 10 nationally in 23 of the last 25 seasons. The Cardinal s dominance has been even more apparent as of late. Stanford has lost five or more matches in a season just six times in the last 15 years, and is (.864) in the last ten years alone. The numbers are even more impressive in conference play as Stanford has gone no worse than 17-1 in Pac-10 play only five times since 1994, and has accumulated a (.874) conference mark over the last 12 seasons. The Cardinal has also left its mark internationally as witnessed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics and the 2004 Athens Olympics. Kerri Walsh and Logan Tom, both All-Americans on the 1999 Stanford team that finished as NCAA runner-up, played on the USA National Team in 2000 that finished a surprising fourth. Four of Stanford s former players competed in Atlanta, including Kristin Klein and Bev Oden on the national team, as well as Barbara Fontana and Nancy Reno in beach competition. Kristin Folkl was also selected as the first alternate on the indoor team. In 2004, Logan Tom and Ogonna Nnamani were members of the United States Olympic team in Greece. A look through the all-time Stanford roster will find some of the greatest players to play NCAA women s volleyball, headlined by Kim Oden, class of 86 and the AVCA s Division I Women s Volleyball Player of the Decade for the 1980 s. Oden was a three-time conference Player of the Year and was twice named the nation s top player. She started on the 1988 U.S. Olympic Team and was named Best Hitter after posting the best hitting percentage over the entire Olympic Tournament. Oden, who was also named Best Blocker at the 1990 World Championships, where the U.S. won the bronze medal, was once again a starter on the 1992 U.S. squad that played in Barcelona. She served as the captain of the U.S. squad until her retirement in She returned to the Red, White & Blue to compete in the 1994 Goodwill Games where she was joined there by younger sister Bev (a National Team player from ), Cary Wendell and Kristin Folkl. Folkl, also one of the top collegiate volleyball players of all time who also played in the WNBA, was a part of the best class in NCAA women s volleyball history. Folkl, Barbara Ifejika, Debbie Lambert, Paula McNamee and Lisa Sharpley combined to go from The group became the first class to ever win three women s volleyball national titles in four years (1994, 1996 and 1997). The group also went 70-2 in the Pac-10 en route to four consecutive conference titles and was an incredible 64-1 at Maples Pavilion. Stanford alums Bobbi Broer, Amy Cooper, Folkl, Nancy Reno, Sharpley, Teresa Smith Richardson, Wendy Rush Humphreys and Walsh have also spent time in the U.S. National Team program along with recent graduates Logan Tom and Ogonna Nnamani. Broer, Rush and Smith have retired but Reno and Walsh are still active and members of the AVP s women s professional beach volleyball tour. Tom, a two-time AVCA National Player of the Year and four-time first-team All-American, is playing professionally overseas as well as continuing her role as a starter with the U.S. National Team that competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics. Nnamani is the Pac-10 s all-time career kills leader, and is currently playing on the United States National Team. Nnamani was a four-time All-American ( ) at Stanford and is among the school s all-time great players. Barbara Fontana is a prime example of what can be done with Stanford s combination of athletics and academics. She and her partner were named the pro beach tour s Newcomers of the Year after the 1991 season and Fontana has continued to excel on the tour. The President of the WPVA in 1995, her teams have consistently been at or near the top of the WPVA. Fontana, who recently passed the California Bar Exam, was also a bronze medalist at the 1994 Goodwill Games NCAA Championship team celebrates after capturing its second title in three years. Stanford won four NCAA titles during the 1990s, and added a two more in 2001 and Several former Cardinal players, including Laura Olesen and Cooper, have also played professional volleyball indoors.

When I decided on Stanford, I realized that I was going to be a part of arguably the best athletic department in the country, a national championship volleyball program, and a university that is known world wide for its academic excellence. However, what I cherish the most about Stanford are the things I did not expect to experience when I decided to attend this university. I did not expect to have such a love for the campus, to be a part of such a supportive and fun studentathlete community, or to be continually surprised and awed by the achievements of my peers. But most of all, I did not expect to be a part of a team that consists of such wonderful women that I now consider my lifelong friends. The experiences and bonds with my teammates are what I will remember most about my Stanford experience." Courtney Schultz, Class of S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l 45

"Being a student-athlete is a privilege. I have heard some complain about lack of time, but this is what we signed up to do, and it is worth every second. We get more than just great equipment and gear; we get to experience a life that very few people are lucky enough to encounter. We get to travel everywhere, play in great arenas, be on television, and meet a lot of interesting people. The lack of time also forces procrastinators like myself to get things done on time. Competing in a championship program makes me a very proud participant. I get excited butterflies every time someone asks me, 'How did you guys do this year?' It also makes us a target to our future competitors, so we will have to work that much harder to defend our title. My education at Stanford has been one of the most influential components of my thinking of life in general. We have such rare and excellent professors that everything I learn I feel like I can apply to some aspect of my life. I am lucky to be here."

57 1992 NCAA Championship Team Expectations were once again high for Don Shaw s Stanford club as it entered the 1992 season. After all, the Cardinal was coming off its best season ever, a 30-2 campaign that included a Pac-10 title and an 18-0 conference record. But the graduation loss of three players Nicole Appleman, Amy Cooper and Kristin Klein who had a combined eight seasons of starting experience, meant that the 1992 squad would not have it easy. Easy it wasn t, but the Cardinal still achieved its ultimate goal winning its first-ever NCAA title. The Cardinal (31-2 overall) did it by upsetting previously unbeaten UCLA 15-8, 15-9, 6-15, in the championship match in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Stanford won the crown behind seniors Carrie Feldman, Bev Oden and Jennifer Jackson and freshman Cary Wendell. Oden finished the season with a.372 hitting percentage, 478 kills, 257 digs, 101 block assists, 37 block solos and 24 aces, while Jackson had 262 kills, 223 digs and 18 aces. Wendell, the National Freshman of the Year, had 353 kills and 323 digs and Feldman had 1248 assists, 206 digs and 55 block assists. The road to Albuquerque was definitely not an easy one. Stanford opened the season with a grueling eight-match road trip, but came home 8-0, including wins at #2 Long Beach State, #5 Illinois and #13 Brigham Young. When the Cardinal returned home, #6 USC and #1 UCLA were waiting. Stanford beat USC in four games, but lost to the Bruins the next night when they dropped the fifth game Stanford then reeled off eight straight wins after the loss to the Bruins, losing just two games in the process. UCLA then handed Stanford its second loss of the season, winning in Los Angeles in three games. But the Cardinal would not lose again. Stanford won nine in a row to close the regular season, including wins over #13 UC Santa Barbara and #4 Pacific en route to the tournament title at the Bankers Classic in Stockton.

NCAA Tournament having won 27 of its last 28 games, and got another break when the seeds were announced. Because Stanford was ranked second nationally behind UCLA, it was moved out of the West Regional and into the Mideast. This assured that the Bruins and Cardinal would not have to meet until the championship match. That s exactly what happened. After sweeping Pittsburgh at home, the Cardinal captured the Mideast Regional crown by beating #9 Penn State in three and winning at #6 Illinois in four. The Cardinal then took advantage of its first Final Four appearance in five years by easing past Long Beach State 15-10, 15-12, 6-15, 15-9 behind 21 kills apiece from Oden and Wendell. The third time then turned out to be a charm when the Bruins and Cardinal met in the title match. Behind all-tournament selections Feldman, Oden and Wendell, the Cardinal avenged its previous two losses to the Bruins with a four-game win to claim its first NCAA title.

After dispatching of three Pac-10 foes and #4 Ohio State to reach the NCAA Finals, it was only fitting that UCLA was on the other side of the net for the championship match. The Cardinal and Bruins had already met twice previously in the title match, including Stanford s 1992 National Championship season, and the Bruins also handed Stanford its only loss during the 1994 regular season. And like 1992, Stanford came out on top, defeating its California rival 15-10, 5-15, 16-14, The win helped the Cardinal claim its second NCAA title in three years, and conclude its best season ever. The Cardinal finished with a 32-1 record, its third straight Pac-10 title and a 12-match winning streak. Stanford had also won 24 consecutive games before dropping the second game of the championship match to UCLA. For the second straight season, Stanford entered the 1994 campaign ranked No. 1 in the country. With a young team in 1993, the Cardinal went 22-7 and lost in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. And with three freshmen in the starting lineup, the 1994 team was even younger. Stanford had no trouble living up to the ranking, however, by winning its first 20 matches. The Cardinal lost just four games during that stretch, which included wins over arch-rival UCLA and eight other ranked opponents. Stanford caught fire thanks to an old reliable junior Cary Wendell and a promising newcomer freshman Kristin Folkl. Wendell was named the NCAA Player of the Year by Volleyball Magazine, while Folkl was a First Team All-American. Junior Marnie Triefenbach earned Second Team All- American honors, while Folkl and Lisa Sharpley were named to the National All-Freshman Team. The Cardinal finished the regular season with a 27-1 record, including a 17-1 mark and first-place finish in the Pac-10. The only blemish on the record was a five-game loss at UCLA, though the Cardinal bounced back with a five-game win at then-no. 13 USC the next night. The first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament then had a decidedly familiar feeling to them. In those matches, the Cardinal posted three-game sweeps against conference rivals Washington, Arizona State and USC to advance to the Final Four in Austin, Texas. In the NCAA semifinal match, Stanford shut down Ohio State s highly touted offense in a 15-11, 15-9, 15-7 win. The Buckeyes were second in the nation in hitting percentage coming into the match, but hit just.079 against Don Shaw s club. Folkl hit.423 with 15 kills to lead the winners, while Wendell hit.444 with 19 assists, 10 digs and eight kills. Two nights later against UCLA, the Cardinal was down in the third game with the match tied at a game apiece. But Stanford saved six game points to pull out a win. The Bruins jumped out to a lead in the fourth game, but Stanford reeled off the next five points, culminated by Eileen Murfee s block, to clinch the national title. Folkl had a career-high 25 kills and 10 digs to pace the champions, while Triefenbach had a season-high 23 kills and 17 digs and Sharpley 52 assists, 21 digs and eight blocks to cap a season that will be remembered as one of Stanford s best ever in any sport.

Stanford University did more than just win its third NCAA Women s Volleyball Championship on December 21, It turned in one of the most dominating performances in collegiate women s volleyball history. In that championship match, Stanford defeated Hawaii 15-3, 15-7, 15-5 in just 91 minutes before a national television audience. The 15 points scored by the Rainbow Wahine was the lowest in championship match history (old record 18 Long Beach State d. Nebraska 15-12, 15-0, 15-6, 1989) and the second lowest in Final Four history (record 12 UCLA d. San Jose State 15-6, 15-2, 15-4, 1984). I ve said all along that if this team plays to its potential it can be scary, Stanford head coach Don Shaw said after the match. We just put it all together tonight. I ve told my team many times, my goal is to just sit back and watch. Tonight, I just sat back and watched them go. Ironically, the turning point of Stanford s season came on November 2, also against Hawaii. The Cardinal had fallen at Pac-10 rival Washington State just six days earlier, and headed to Honolulu to take on top-ranked Hawaii before a sold-out crowd of 10, 225 at the Special Events Arena. The Rainbow Wahine needed just 21 minutes to defeat Stanford 15-5 in game one. But the Cardinal quickly bounced back in grand fashion sweeping through the next three games 15-11, 15-6, 15-9 to pull off the upset. Hawaii native Debbie Lambert put on a show for the hometown crowd by hitting.375 with 12 kills, as Stanford outhit Hawaii over the final three games. Stanford was untouchable the rest of the season. The Cardinal won its final 12 matches following the victory at Hawaii and lost just two games during that stretch, which included eight wins over ranked opponents. The Cardinal went on to finish 17-1 in the Pac-10 en route to a three-game advantage over Washington State and its third straight conference title. The NCAA Tournament featured more of the same. Stanford lost just one game in its five postseason matches, and only one match lasted more than two hours (Nebraska). The Cardinal opened NCAA play with a sweep of Colorado State in the second round, and later extended its homecourt winning streak to 49 with 3-0 Pacific Regional wins over USC and Washington State. Defending champion Nebraska was next on the Cardinal s list. The Cornhuskers defeated Stanford 15-9 in game one in the first and only game the Cardinal lost in the postseason. Stanford stormed back, however, to take a 13-0 lead in game two en route to winning the final three games 15-7, 15-9, Then came the highly anticipated rematch with Hawaii. It was no contest. Stanford held National Player of the Year Anjelica Ljungquist to seven kills and a.111 hitting percentage, and never looked back. Hawaii s only lead of the match was 1-0 in the third and final game. National Freshman of the Year and Final Four MVP Kerri Walsh ended matters with a cross-court kill to clinch Stanford s third NCAA title in five years. First Team All-American setter Lisa Sharpley led Stanford to a.350 hitting percentage with 37 assists, while Second Team All-American Kristin Folkl hit.406 with 16 kills, nine digs and six blocks. Walsh concluded a spectacular freshman season with a.438 hitting percentage and 17 kills to help Stanford become only the third team (along with Hawaii and UCLA) to win three NCAA titles.

60 1997 NCAA Championship Team The Stanford women s volleyball class of 1998 turned in numerous showstopping performances over the course of its four-year run atop the collegiate world, but saved its most memorable performance for last. Kristin Folkl, Barbara Ifejika, Debbie Lambert, Paula McNamee and Lisa Sharpley made their 125th and final win one for the ages as they outlasted Penn State in five games in one of the most thrilling NCAA Championship matches ever. The fivesome further etched its name into the national record book by becoming the first class to ever win three women s volleyball national titles in four seasons. The win over Penn State was the climax to four incredible seasons on The Farm. During the fivesome s run from , Stanford: Went (.940) overall, and never lost more than three games in a single season. Was 64-1 at home matches in Maples Pavilion, including a 50-match win streak. Went 19-1 in the NCAA Tournament, and qualified for the Final Four on all four possible occasions. Went 70-2 in the Pac-10 en route to four consecutive conference titles. Every other Pac-10 school had at least 20 conference losses during that span. Stanford started the season 5-2, but would not lose again. In fact, the Cardinal would lose just six games the rest of the way en route to a 28-match winning streak. The Cardinal dominated the Pac-10, winning by a commanding five games. Sixteen of Stanford s 18 Pac-10 wins came in three games, while the other two came in four. In nine Pac-10 road matches, Stanford did not lose a game. The Cardinal s domination continued in the postseason. Stanford was awarded the top seed in the NCAA Mountain Regional, and proceeded to defeat Oklahoma and Colorado to move within one step of the Final Four. The Cardinal then advanced to Spokane with a 15-12, 15-12, 15-3 win over No. 5 UC Santa Barbara. The 1997 NCAA Championship Team.

Stanford was the third seed in Spokane, and faced off against second-seeded and top-ranked Long Beach State in the semifinals. The Cardinal dropped game one 15-9, but Stanford quickly responded by winning the next two games 15-10, The Cardinal then jumped out to a commanding 12-3 lead in game four, but the 49ers reeled 12 of the next 14 points to reach game point. Stanford then survived the game point, and reeled off three of its own, including a block by freshman Jennifer Detmer on match point, to put the 49ers away. All that now stood between Stanford and back-toback national titles was old nemesis Penn State. After Stanford rolled through the first two games at and 15-6, Penn State won game three Game four featured an amazing 58 sideouts and lasted 44 minutes. But the Nittany Lions reeled off two consecutive points at to send the match to five games. Stanford took immediate control in the rally-scoring fifth game by scoring six of the first eight points. The Nittany Lions got within 13-9 before the Cardinal put the match away in fitting fashion. Folkl wrapped up her brilliant collegiate career with backto-back kills that gave Stanford its fourth national title. Not surprisingly, it was again the vaunted class of 1998 that put the Cardinal over the top. Paula McNamee, who had spent most of her career on The Farm in the shadow of her classmates, picked the perfect time to have the match of her collegiate career. McNamee hit.372 with career-highs of 20 kills and 10 blocks to earn All-Tournament honors. In addition, both Sharpley and Walsh set the Stanford single match record with 30 digs in the title contest.

61 2001 NCAA Championship Team No one was quite sure what to expect of the 2001 edition of the Stanford women s volleyball team not even new head coach John Dunning. But as the season progressed, everyone could sense something magical happening. The Cardinal played its first 11 matches on the road to open the season, going 10-1 their only loss to Long Beach State in the Pyramid. Stanford would encounter its next roadblock in conference play in Los Angeles. After a come-from-behind 3-2 win over UCLA the night before, the Cardinal fell to USC, 1-3. That loss would prove to be the last for Stanford in What happened next was a string of 10 consecutive wins some easy, some hard and all that built character. The true turning point of the second half of the season was perhaps the match at Arizona. Stanford had edged Arizona, 3-2, at home earlier in the season and this match could decide who would win the conference championship. The Cardinal fell behind 0-2 before rallying to win the final three games to take the match. This team knew they could win. Stanford went 17-1 in league play to win its fourth Pac-10 title in the last five years. The Cardinal went a perfect 16-0 at home on the Farm in Stanford breezed through the postseason first and second rounds and regionals to set up a meeting with defending national champion and second-ranked Nebraska in a NCAA Semifinal match. It was a match of brawn against brawn two of the tallest teams in the nation both of whom ranked in the top five nationally in blocking and featured deadly hitters in Logan Tom and Nancy Metcalf. Tough serving, some great digs and timely blocking gave Stanford the advantage in the match. Game one remained close between the two teams. With the game tied at 24-all, Nebraska went on a four point run to go up A block solo by Tara Conrad closed the gap to but on the next play, Nancy Metcalf s kill put Nebraska at game point. Stanford would hold off four game points to tie the game up at 29-all and reached game point on a Husker miscue. A kill by Ogonna Nnamani gave the Cardinal the win. Stanford rallied off six consecutive points at the 2001 NCAA Championship Team: (l to r) Top Row: Assistant Coach Kim Oden, Head Coach John Dunning, Leahi Hall, Emily Lawrence, Michelle Chambers, Jen Hucke, Ashley Ivy, Robyn Lewis, Associate Head Coach Denise Corlett, Assistant Coach David Johnson.

The victory in game one would provide momentum to Stanford and create doubt on the other side of the net. The Cardinal would win the next two games to catapult themselves into the national championship match. And so it came down to this Stanford would face No. 1 ranked and undefeated Long Beach State for the championship. The same team the Cardinal had lost to early in the season. But this wasn t the same team that faced the 49er s in late September. For Stanford s five seniors, this was the final chance to win a national championship only one fifthyear senior Robyn Lewis had ever won a title. And they would lay everything on the line to take home the prize. The championship match began eerily like the semifinal match with Nebraska. A Stanford service error gave LBSU game point at The Cardinal held off two game points to tie the game at 29-all on a kill by Logan Tom and reached game point on a 49er hitting error. A Logan Tom kill gave Stanford the come-from-behind win. Logan Tom had 10 kills in game one for the Cardinal. The game one loss marked the first time Long Beach dropped a game one during the 2001 season. After winning a close second game, Stanford closed in for the win in game three on an Ogonna Nnamani kill, forcing a Long Beach State timeout. A Tom kill put Stanford at game and match point at The Cardinal block (Tom and Conrad) came up big to close out the game and match at Stanford had won an unprecedented fifth national championship. National Player of the Year Logan Tom was tabbed MVP of the Final Four while teammates Ashley Ivy, Ogonna Nnamani and Robyn Lewis earned all-tournament honors. All-American Tom recorded her 134th service ace during the match to tie with Barbra Fontana ( ) for second all-time in the Cardinal record books. Tom also ended the season with 621 kills a single season Stanford record. The 33 wins for the Cardinal tied the school record for most wins in a season (1980, 97 and 01).

62 2004 NCAA Championship Team The 2004 Stanford women s volleyball team began the season ranked sixth in the nation, fell to as low as 14th during the middle part of the season, but in the end, thanks to hard work and dedication, Stanford captured another NCAA title. After starting the season, 3-2 and later chalking up a mid-season mark of 15-6, the Cardinal ran off 15 straight victories which included a 3-0 sweep (30-23, 30-27, 30-21) victory over Minnesota in the national championship match. In their late 15-match march to the NCAA crown, the Cardinal lost only seven games while winning 45. Ten of those wins came against nationally-ranked teams including #1 Washington, #4 USC and #10 Texas. Four victories in the NCAA Regionals moved Stanford to the NCAA Final Four in Long Beach. In a semifinal match against Pac-10 rival Washington, the Cardinal scored a 30-25, 22-30, 30-27, victory. Four-time All-American and AVCA Player of the Year Ogonna Nnamani tallied a team-high 34 kills, including the match winner, while Kristin Richards added 14 kills, 22 digs and two blocks. Jennifer Hucke chipped in with eleven kills and ten digs. Courtney Schultz had 21 digs while setter Bryn Kehoe notched 57 assists, 12 digs and four blocks. Stanford then faced the challenge of Big-10 power Minnesota. The Cardinal, with momentum from its semifinal win over Washington, scored a three-game sweep over the Golden Gophers in the title match, 30-23, 30-27, 30-21, before an arena crowd of 8,826 fans and an ESPN nationally-televised audience. Nnamani, the tournament s most outstanding player, hit.562 with 29 kills in 46 attacks to pace the Cardinal attack. Kehoe handed out 48 assists as Stanford hit.436 as a team. Nnamani set an NCAA Tournament record with 145 kills in all 2004 NCAA tournament matches over 21 games. Nnamani also tied the NCAA Tournament record with 15 block solos.

The memories and experiences I've made on the court and in the class room will always stay with me and allow me great opportunities in the future." Katie Goldhahn, August 2005 "Being a student-athlete at Stanford University is an opportunity that I am extremely thankful for. It is truly the best of both worlds. I am constantly surrounded by the most driven and dedicated athletes and students in the country. This unique environment inspires, and brings out the best in me.

63 Stanford Volleyball Scholarship Stanford s Scholarship Funding Two sources provide scholarship funds for Stanford s student-athletes: the Athletic Department s scholarship endowment and the Buck/Cardinal Club. Endowed Scholarships Endowed scholarships are large sums of money that have been invested in the University s endowment and generate significant interest income each year. A portion of the income is spent on student aid and the remainder is reinvested in the principal. The following endowed scholarships, named for the donor or for someone the donor wishes to honor, provide full or partial grants-in-aid to members of the 2006 women s volleyball team: The John Arrillaga Athletic Scholarship II Alex Fisher The Barnard Family Scholarship Bryn Kehoe The Don and Sally Clark Scholarship Janet Okogbaa The Eger Family Athletic Scholarship Lizzie Suiter The Louis W. and Gladyce L.

They were the founding members of the Tiny Buck of the Month Club. Members of the club were required to donate one dollar a month to support scholarships for athletes. The word Tiny reminded everyone of the small monthly contribution and honored the head football coach Tiny Thornhill. The Club s name was eventually shortened to the Stanford Buck Club and the membership dues were revised. The Cardinal Club was formed in 1977 to help provide scholarship aid for women s sports. After competing with the Men s Club as it was called, they merged in 1985 to concentrate the fundraising efforts of both clubs on ALL athletes. After a few name changes, the Buck/Cardinal Club was formed and is now the driving force behind both scholarship aid and program support for Stanford student-athletes. Almost $6 million is currently raised annually in scholarship aid and program support through the gifts of the Buck/Cardinal Club and Buck/Cardinal Champions Fund s 6,000 members. The Buck/Cardinal Champions Fund was added in 2006 to provide priority seating at Stanford Stadium.

64 Stanford University On October 1, 1891, the 465 new students who were on hand for opening day ceremonies at Leland Stanford Junior University greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusiastically, with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only that morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-S-J-U! Stanford! Its wild and spirited tone symbolized the excitement of this bold adventure. As a pioneer faculty member recalled, Hope was in every heart, and the presiding spirit of freedom prompted us to dare greatly. For the Stanford s on that day, the university was the realization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory of their only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his sixteenth birthday. Far from the nation s center of culture and unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new university Millions of volumes are housed in many libraries throughout the campus. drew students from all over the country: many from California; some who followed professors hired from other colleges and universities; and some simply seeking adventure in the West. Though there were many difficulties during the first months housing was inadequate, microscopes and books were late in arriving from the East the first year foretold greatness. As Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of 1892, Even our fondest hopes have been realized. Stanford University The University at a Glance S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l

65 Stanford University Ideas of Practical Education Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families of modest means and had built their way up through a life of hard work. So it was natural that their first thoughts were to establish an institution where young men and women could grapple successfully with the practicalities of life. As their thoughts matured, these ideas of practical education enlarged to the concept of producing cultured and useful citizens who were well-prepared for professional success. More than one hundred years later, the university still enjoys the original 8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fields, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords generous legacy, as well as the Quadrangle of long corridors with their stately pillars at the center of campus. It is still true, as the philosopher William James said, during his stint as a visiting professor, that the climate is so friendly... that every morning wakes one fresh for new amounts of work. Current Perspectives In other ways, the university has changed tremendously on its way to recognition as one of the world s great universities. At the hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is an hour s drive south of San Francisco and just a few miles north of the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and high technology firms largely spawned by the university s faculty and graduates. On campus, students and faculty enjoy new libraries, modern laboratories, sports facilities, and comfortable residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as pieces from the Stanford Museum s extensive collection of sculpture by Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, providing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the Stanford Medical Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching, and patient care, scientists and physicians are searching for answers to fundamental questions about health and disease. Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford s Hopkins Marine Station on the Monterey Bay, scientists are working to better understand the mechanisms of evolution, human development, and ecological systems. The university is organized into seven schools: Earth Sciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School of Business, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addition, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, programs, and research laboratories including the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute for International Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Stanford Center for the Study of Families, Children and Youth where faculty from a wide range of fields bring different perspectives to bear on issues and problems. Stanford s Overseas Studies Program offers students in all fields remarkable opportunities for study abroad, with campuses in Paris, Kyoto, Santiago, Berlin, Oxford, Florence, and Moscow. Stanford People By any measure, Stanford s faculty which numbers approximately 1,700 is one of the most distinguished in the nation. It includes 16 Nobel laureates, 4 Pulitzer Prize winners, 21 National Medal of Science winners, 132 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 223 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 80 members of the National Academy of Engineering, and 23 members of the National Academy of Education. Yet beyond their array of honors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their commitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The great majority of professors teach undergraduates both in introductory lecture classes and in small advanced seminars. Currently 13,900 students, of which 6,500 are undergraduates, live and study on campus. About 40 percent come from California, but all 50 states and approximately 100 countries are represented as well. Among undergraduates, 44 percent are African American, Asian American, Hispanic or Native American. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is distinguished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford for every place in the freshman class. Eighty-four Stanford students have been named Rhodes Scholars, 66 have been named Marshall Scholars, and 48 have been named Truman Scholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors plan to attend graduate or professional schools. Stanford students also shine in a tremendous array of activities outside the classroom from student government to music, theater, and journalism. Through the Haas Center for Public Service, students participate in dozens of community service activities, such as tutoring programs for children in nearby East Palo Alto, the Hunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic. In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyed tremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 35 Division I varsity sports equally divided between men s and women s teams. Of Stanford s 104 national team titles, 52 have been captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation. Thirty-eight of Stanford s athletes and coaches participated in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, 49 competed in Atlanta at the 1996 Games, 34 represented Stanford at the 2000 Games in Sydney by far the most of any university in the nation and 42 Stanford athletes competed at the 2004 Games in Athens. Intramural and club sports are also popular; over 1,000 students take part in the club sports program, while participation in the intramural program has reached 9,000, with many students active in more than one sport. Looking Ahead In her address to the Board of Trustees, in 1904, Jane Stanford said,... Let us not be afraid to outgrow old thoughts and ways, and dare to think on new lines as to the future of the work under our care. Her thoughts echo in the words of former Stanford President Gerhard Casper, who has said, The true university must reinvent itself every day... At Stanford, these are days of such reconsideration and fresh support for our fundamental tasks teaching, learning, and research. Stanford University still enjoys the original 8,100 acres of grassy fields, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords generous legacy S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l 63

66 Stanford Athletics The Home of Champions The Stanford women s tennis team has captured five of the past six NCAA titles. No other athletic department in the country can boast of the kind of success that Stanford has accomplished. Stanford Athletics Home of Champions Home of Champions. Those are the bywords for the Stanford University Athletic Department. And for good reason. No athletic department in the country can boast of the kind of success that Stanford has accomplished since the 1980 s. NCAA team champions. NCAA individual champions. Olympic medalists. Stanford University athletes have been all over the world capturing championships. The statistics speak for themselves: Stanford University has won 75 NCAA team championships since 1980, the most in the nation; Cardinal athletes have won 52 NCAA championships since 1990 again the most in the nation. Stanford has brought home 31 NCAA championship trophies the past eight years, including an unprecedented six NCAA team titles in In , Stanford athletes took home 29 individual NCAA titles an NCAA record. Cardinal athletes won 21 individual championships during the season, the second most in history. Even more impressive is Stanford s string of 12 consecutive Directors Cup titles ( ). The award honors the nation s top overall athletic program and with 12 straight victories in the competition, it is no wonder Stanford is considered the dominant athletic program in the nation. Stanford captured its 12th straight Directors Cup in The Cardinal won a total of three national team crowns (two NCAA) in synchronized swimming (U.S. Collegiate), women s tennis and women s cross country. Stanford had a total of 20 Top 10 finishes with men s water polo, women s basketball, men s swimming, women s swimming, men s gymnastics, women s indoor track, men s crew, women s sailing, men s tennis and women s water polo joining the national champions in the Top Five. The Cardinal also picked up six individual national titles (two NCAA) and 13 team conference championships. Stanford has now won at least one NCAA team championship for 30 straight years. Cardinal teams have also won four or more NCAA team titles in a single year nine times, an NCAA best. All totaled, Stanford has won 104 collegiate team titles (92 NCAA championships) and 395 NCAA individual titles. Cardinal women have won an NCAA-best 35 team championships while men s teams have captured 57 NCAA team titles, third-best in the nation. Overall, Stanford s 92 NCAA team championships rank second in the nation. In the last 10 years (since ), Stanford has claimed 33 national team championships and 29 NCAA team titles the best in the country. The best athletic year in school history arguably came in when Cardinal teams set an NCAA record by winning six NCAA team championships in a single academic year: men s and women s cross country; men s and women s volleyball; and Tiger Woods is one of the PGA s most successful golfers with victories in all four Major events S t a n f o r d W o m e n s V o l l e y b a l l

67 Stanford Athletics The Home of Champions men s and women s tennis. Nine other teams finished in the Top Four nationally, including second-place finishes in women s swimming, men s swimming, men s water polo and women s synchronized swimming. Stanford also posted third-place finishes in women s basketball, baseball and fencing, as well as fourth place finishes in women s golf and women s water polo. In addition, the Stanford co-ed sailing team added a ICYRA national championship. The school year also saw the Cardinal football team advance to the Sun Bowl, the women s basketball team return to the Final Four, the baseball team qualify for the College World Series and the men s basketball team advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since it won the 1942 NCAA title. Not only has the Cardinal won an NCAA record six NCAA team championships in a single season ( ), but it has also won five NCAA titles in a single year on three occasions: , and Cardinal teams have won four championships in a single academic year on five occasions: , 86-87, 92-93, and Stanford has won 186 conference or regional titles since 1991, again the best in the country. Cardinal teams won a record 18 conference or regional championships in by far the best performance of any school in the nation. The Stanford women s basketball team has been a consistent top finisher in the Pac-10, advancing well into the NCAA tournament for years. Another memorable moment came in when the Cardinal football, men s basketball and baseball teams won at least a share of their respective Pac-10 titles for the first time in school history. Stanford has simply dominated in several sports. The Cardinal men s tennis team has won 17 NCAA titles while the women s squad has hauled in 16 national titles. Other programs to have brought in at least five national titles include men s water polo (11), women s swimming (9), men s swimming (8), men s golf (7) and women s volleyball (6). Stanford has also enjoyed unequaled success in Olympic competition. Stanford was represented by 43 affiliates at the most recent Olympic Games that took place in 2004 in Athens, Greece. The Cardinal totaled 17 medals (three gold, seven silver, seven bronze). At the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, Stanford was represented by a total of 34 athletes and coaches. The Cardinal contingent won a total of 10 medals four gold, three silver and three bronze. At the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Stanford placed 49 coaches and athletes on Olympic teams, including three head United States Olympic coaches (Tara VanDerveer, women s basketball; Richard Stanford s women s cross country team has won two of the past three NCAA titles. Quick, women s swimming; Skip Kenney, men s swimming). Stanford athletes accounted for 16 gold medals, one silver and one bronze in Atlanta. At the 1992 Games in Barcelona, Cardinal athletes earned 19 medals 10 gold, four silver and five bronze. If Stanford were a country, it would ve placed 13th in the world with its 19 medals and ninth with 10 golds. Thirty-eight Stanford-affiliated athletes and coaches participated in Barcelona while 41 members of the Cardinal family took part in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea. Olympic gold medalists are numerous on The Farm. Former Cardinal standout Bob Mathias won back-to-back Olympic decathlon gold medals in 1948 and 52, while swimmers Pablo Morales, Jenny Thompson, Summer Sanders, Janet Evans and Misty Hyman have become household names in the swimming world.

And at the hub of this great region is Stanford University, located within an hour s drive of San Francisco to the north, Silicon Valley to the south and the coastal cities which line the Pacific Ocean to the west. San Francisco has been named the world s top city twice and the country s top city on seven occasions. Surrounded by three sides of the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, San Francisco s compact 46 square miles crowd the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula. The City has a population of 730,000 and is the centerpiece of the San Francisco Bay Area, which is the nation s fifth largest metropolitan region and registers a population of over six million and hosts over 16 million visitors each year.
