2 Pepperdine Waves 2010 Information and Record Book

Gail Hopkins was the first Wave to don a major league uniform after signing as an amateur free agent with the Chicago White Sox prior to the 1965 season. Hopkins posted solid numbers in two seasons on the South Side, totaling 14 home runs and 75 RBI, but was traded following the 1970 campaign to Kansas City. With the Royals in 1971, Hopkins recorded his finest offensive season with 9 HR, 46 RBI and a .278 BA.

Randy Wolf made the first two postseason appearances of his career in 2009 as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting rotation. Wolf pitched in game one of the National League Division Series against St. Louis and game two of the NLCS versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Wolf finished the year with an 11-7 record, 3.23 ERA and 160 strikeouts and led the league with 34 games started. This offseason, the Woodland Hills, Calif., native signed a three-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Seven-year major league relief pitcher Will Ohman joined the Los Angeles Dodgers at the start of the 2009 season and finished with a 1-0 record, one save and five games finished. He logged one of his finest seasons in 2008 with the Atlanta Braves, posting a 4-1 record and a 3.68 earned-run average through 83 appearances. He also struck out 53 batters. Ohman, who is currently a free agent, spent the first five years of his professional career with the Chicago Cubs.

A three-time All-Star, Danny Haren is one of the most recognizable Waves in the major leagues. In 2009, Haren finished fifth in Cy Young Award voting and led the National League in WHIP (1.003) and SO/BB ratio (5.87). He also recorded the highest season strikeout total of his career with 223 punchouts en route to a 14-10 record. Haren has been incredibly durable in his seven-year career, averaging close to 34 starts over the past five seasons.

Originally drafted by the Mets in 1979, Mike Scott would go on to make a big name for himself with some of the best Houston teams of the 1980s. In 1986, Scott won 18 games, struck out 306 batters, pitched a no-hitter against the Giants and brought the Astros to within one game of the World Series. Scott made the first of his three All-Star appearances that season and won the N.L. Cy Young Award with 15 first-place votes.

Mike Fetters played for eight teams during his sixteen-year career from 1989 to 2004. He was drafted by the California Angels and would later go on to play for the Milwaukee Brewers, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Arizona Diamondbacks and Minnesota Twins. Fetters had his best season in 1996 with the Brewers when he finished fifth in the American League with 32 saves. Fetters finished his career with 100 saves.

* Drafted player who did not sign.

# Jay Gehrke was a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds and was the 32nd overall pick in the draft.


In an all-California championship game, Pepperdine bested local rival Cal State Fullerton by the score of 3-2 to claim the 1992 College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb.

Under the direction of head coach Andy Lopez, Pepperdine advanced to the CWS after winning the NCAA West Regional Championship at Tucson, Ariz. The Waves quickly became a crowd favorite at Rosenblatt Stadium after opening CWS action with impressive shutout wins over Wichita State and Texas.

In order to advance to the championship game, Pepperdine needed to defeat Texas a second time. The Longhorns used a four-run rally in the top half of the seventh inning to take a 4-1 lead, but the advantage was short-lived, as Steve Rodriguez connected for a dramatic grand slam in the bottom half of the inning to propel the Waves to a 5-4 win. In the championship game, Patrick Ahearne, Derek Wallace and Steve Montgomery turned in solid efforts on the mound, and Eric Ekdahl’s solo home run in the fifth inning proved to be the game-winning blow.

The 1992 team was inducted into the Pepperdine Hall of Fame in December 1999.

“I think I just lived a childhoom dream. I came to Omaha and hit a grand slam in the College World Series. It wasn’t the bottom of the ninth, but it was close enough.”

Second Baseman— Steve Rodriguez —

“I just dove and felt it go into my glove. I never had a better feeling after catching a ball. I got to my feet and flipped the ball to Dan (Melendez) at first base and he reacted by double-clutching his fist. The crowd was going absolutely crazy!”

— Second Baseman Steve Rodriguez —

“I hit one a year and it was a great time to have it.”

— Shortstop Eric Ekdahl on his solo home run vs. Cal State Fullerton —


Under first-year head coach Dave Gorrie, Pepperdine made its first-ever appearance at the College World Series and finished third.

After placing second in the rugged Southern Califor-nia Baseball Association (SCBA), Pepperdine won the Mid-East Regional in East Lansing, Mich., de-feating San Diego State in the title game by a final score of 13-2.

The Waves lost their open-ing game at the 1979 Col-lege World Series to Arkan-sas by a final score of 5-4, but rebounded to defeat Miami (9-3), Mississippi State (5-4, in 10 innings) and Texas (6-4) before be-ing eliminated by SCBA rival Cal State Fullerton by a final count of 8-5.

Pepperdine finished third at the eight-team event, and compiled a school-record total of 53 victories.

The 1979 team was inducted into the Pepperdine Hall of Fame in December 1999.

— Head Coach Dave Gorrie regarding his team’s wins over Miami, Texas and Mississippi State —

“I hit the ball hard. I had taken a fastball to even the count at 2-2 and after fouling two curves off, I began thinking fastball. I hit a fastball in — it was there.”

Pepperdine’s home baseball games are played at Eddy D. Field Stadium, one of the nation’s most picturesque collegiate facilities.

Original field construction was completed prior to the 1973 season, and the facility was then known as Waves Park. Pepperdine won the first game played at Waves Park, defeating Whittier by a score of 5-2 on Feb. 16, 1973.

Bleacher and stadium seating was added in 1980, and the facility was officially dedicated as Eddy D. Field Stadium on March 30, 1980. Pepperdine defeated Nebraska by a final score of 5-4 on that date.

Eddy D. Field Stadium has seating for up to 1,800 fans. The facility also includes a fully equipped press box, self-contained clubhouses underneath the grandstands, restrooms and a concession booth.

Recent improvements include refurbishment of the playing surface, additional batting cages, new lockers in the home clubhouse, an upgraded weight room, state-of-the-art scoreboard and new blue plastic chair back seats installed during the summer of 2003. A new backstop screen was installed prior to the 2008 season and the outfield wall was padded during the 2009 offseason.

Pepperdine has posted a winning record at Eddy D. Field Stadium each year since 1974, and the Waves’ all-time cumulative home mark in 35 seasons stands at 795-304-12 (.721).

The 2006 season marked a first in program history as Eddy D. Field Stadium was selected as host site for an NCAA Regional.

The Eddy D. Field Stadium complex has been used extensively for the filming of several commercials and movies and has been the site for the University’s commencement exercises.

Since 1984, when USA Baseball began sponsoring a National Team comprised of collegiate players, a total of seven Pepperdine student-athletes have represented the country as members of the USA Baseball National Team.

The USA National Team heads out on the U.S. West Red, White and Blue Tour each summer — a schedule of exhibition games all across America versus the world’s top baseball talent, including national teams from Cuba, Taiwan, Nicaragua, Mexico and Korea. It also takes on the Japanese Collegiate All-Stars every year.

Pitcher Mike Fetters became the first Pepperdine player to make the USA Baseball National Team when he was selected in 1985. Other former Waves’ players chosen to play for the National Team include Rick Hirtensteiner (1987), Dan Melendez (1991), Steve Rodriguez (1991-92), Randy Wolf (1995-96), David Matranga (1997) and Brett Hunter (2007-08,).

Rodriguez was a member of the 1991 Pan American Games team. He earned “Player of the Series” honors against Mexico and Cuba in 1991 and against Korea in 1992.

Hunter was one of the USA’s top pitchers during summer 2007 as he went 3-0 with a 0.66 earned run average in 14 relief appearances. He competed in the Pan American Games in Brazil and the World Port Tournament in The Netherlands.

Hunter again was tabbed to the national team roster in 2008. The team finished the year at 24-0 and won its third consecutive FISU title with an extra-inning 1-0 decision over Japan.

The Moorpark, Calif., native made three starts for the Americans and posted a 2-0 record with a 1.47 ERA. He also struck out 26 batters in 18.1 innings and limited opposing hitters to a .119 average.


Each year the Pepperdine Baseball program hosts one or two annual fundraising golf tournaments. The tournaments — which help raise money for traveling, recruiting, equipment and other operating costs — bring together alumni with current players and supporters of the program.

Pepperdine played host to its “Big League Experience” at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks this past December. This tournament allowed each golfer the opportunity to play alongside Major League Baseball players and mingle with luminaries from the NFL, NBA and entertainment industry. Over the years, this event has showcased a number of major league All-Stars including Vince Coleman, Bobby Grich, Kenny Lofton, Evan Longoria, Steve Sax and Steve Yeager.

The Waves renamed their first golf tournament fundraiser of the fall in honor of former third baseman Patrick Rooney, who died alongside his father, Bill, in a plane crash in January of 2009. Under warm November skies at the Moorpark Country Club, friends and supporters of the program teamed up with Waves players and coaches of the past and present to play in a four-person scramble tournament. A fun day of golf was followed by a full dinner and silent auction, which featured a treasure trove of sports memorabilia.

Last March, friends of the program were treated to a wine-tasting fundraiser at the Sidley Residence in Malibu. NFL Hall of Famer Joe Montana and his wife, Jennifer, representing Montana Family Winery, were among the participating vintners.

Pepperdine Baseball would like to thank the following sponsors and supporters for their continued generous contributions and support:

Honors: City of Malibu Jake Kuredijian Award for community service Three WCC titles Five NCAA Tournament berths

Steve Rodriguez, a member of Pepperdine’s 1992 national championship team, is entering his seventh season as the Waves’ head baseball coach in 2010.

Hired as the University’s 16th head coach on June 18, 2003, Rodriguez has brought a positive, never-say-die attitude to the program that prevailed during his rookie campaign of 2004 and has continued through his first six years in the position.

Since taking over the reins, Rodriguez has compiled a 217-142 (.604) record, including an 95-48 (.664) mark in West Coast Conference play. He led the Waves to three consecutive WCC titles (2004-06) and his teams have made NCAA Championships appearances in five of the past six years (2004-08).

In addition to carrying on the program’s winning tradition, Rodriguez and his staff of assistants Rick Hirtensteiner and Jon Strauss have worked tirelessly in the area of fundraising. Those efforts have paid off with the installation of new stadium seats prior to the 2004 season, a new, state-of-the-art scoreboard that debuted in 2007 and a new padded outfield wall that was installed in 2009.

Pepperdine posted its 32nd straight 30-win season in 2009 with a 31-23 (.574) record, but missed the postseason for the first time since 1998. The Waves won five of their last six conference games to finish the year at 12-9 (.571) and were in contention for the WCC Championship Series until the final day of the regular season.

Rodriguez’ club recorded several program season records, which included a .982 fielding percentage and 477 strikeouts. Pepperdine’s defense, led by WCC Defensive Player of the Year Denny Duron, committed just 36 errors all season as it finished second only to Creighton (.984) for the NCAA’s highest fielding percentage.

The Waves’ pitching staff, which featured Freshman All-American Cole Cook and All-WCC first team honoree Matt Bywater, averaged a program-best 9.10 strikeouts per nine innings and its overall strikeout total easily surpassed the previous record of 445 set in 1992.

The 2008 Waves were a win away from winning the NCAA Stanford Regional and finished the year with a 38-21 record. They went 14-6 in the WCC for second place and advanced to the WCC Championship Series for the fourth time in five years under Rodriguez. Pepperdine ended the year ranked #19 by Rivals.com.

The 2007 season saw the Waves post a winning percentage above .600 for the third consecutive season and the program won at least 30 games for the 30th consecutive season. Pepperdine was ranked as high as #7 nationally at one point. Under Rodriguez’ guidance, the Waves tied a school record with nine players taken in the MLB First-Year Player Draft in June 2007.

In 2006, the Waves hosted their first-ever NCAA Regional and were the No. 1 seed, and ended the season ranked #21 by Baseball America. The 2005 Waves welcomed the nation’s #7 recruiting class, swept the WCC player awards (Player, Pitcher and Freshman) and ended the year ranked #23 by Collegiate Baseball. The Waves’ first season under Rodriguez was highlighted by a WCC championship and victories over #1 seed Arizona State and #2 seed Cal State Fullerton in NCAA Regional play.

Prior to being named head coach, Rodriguez served as a Waves’ assistant coach for four seasons, during which Pepperdine compiled an overall record of 145-98 (.597), including an 88-32 (.733) mark in West Coast Conference (WCC) play. The Waves captured the WCC title in 2001 and made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2001 and 2003.

Rodriguez became only the third former Pepperdine player to assume the head coaching duties for the Waves in the program’s history. Gary Marks earned the distinction of being the first former Pepperdine player to pilot the program when he skippered the Waves from 1963-67. Gail Hopkins, who played at Pepperdine from 1962-64, coached Pepperdine during the 1968 season.

Rodriguez, a fifth-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox in 1992, played professionally for seven seasons with the Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Montreal Expos organizations. Rodriguez reached the majors with both Boston and Detroit in 1995.

A two-time All-American, he was named WCC Player of the Year in 1992 as the Waves posted a 48-11 mark and captured the College World Series title. Rodriguez was named to the All-CWS team and was part of two memorable plays in Omaha: a grand slam that helped defeat Texas in the semifinal round and a late-inning defensive gem in the Waves’ 3-2 win over Cal State Fullerton in the championship game.

A product of Valley High School in Las Vegas, Nev., Rodriguez helped Pepperdine post a three-year record of 126-51-5 (.706) from 1990-92, including a 72-26 (.735) mark in league play. The Waves won the league title and advanced to the NCAA Championships in both 1991 and 1992.

A first-team All-WCC selection in 1991 and 1992, Rodriguez made a big splash as a sophomore in 1991 when he batted .419, the third-highest single-season average in school history. His 104 base hits that season set a Pepperdine single-season record. He still ranks in the top 10 in five different single-season categories.

Rodriguez’ career batting average of .367 ranks second on the Waves’ all-time list. Despite playing just three seasons of collegiate baseball, Rodriguez is tied for third on the school’s all-time career runs scored chart (187) and is fourth in hits (271). He also ranks in the top 10 in three other career categories.

Rodriguez was a member of the Team USA in both 1991 and 1992. He played in the Pan American Games in 1991 and earned “Player of the Series” honors against Mexico and Cuba. He was also named “Player of the Series” against Korea while a member of Team USA in 1992.

In 2001, Rodriguez was named one of the WCC’s Top 50 athletes of all time, and was selected to the conference’s 40th Anniversary baseball team in 2007.

Following his professional playing career, Rodriguez enrolled in classes at Riverside Community College and Chapman University before returning to Pepperdine, where he received a bachelor’s degree in public relations in December of 2001. He earned a master’s degree in educational technology from Pepperdine in 2003.

In October 2007, he was honored by the City of Malibu with the Jake Kuredjian Award for his service to the community.

In January 2010, Rodriguez won the Top Chef Award at the Baseball Coaches Cooking Challenge hosted by the ESPN Zone in Anaheim.

Rodriguez and his wife, Kimberlee, have a daughter, Julia, and a son, Nolan, and live in Agoura Hills.

Education: Buena High School (Calif.), 1985 Pepperdine, B.A. in business administration, 1989 Lamar University, M.A. in business administration, 1997Family: Wife, Shannon Children, Cade, Cullen, Crosby

Honors: 1989 CoSIDA Academic All-American Three-time All-WCC selection

Rick Hirtensteiner, a four-year standout at Pepperdine who earned All-American honors as a senior in 1989, is starting his 12th season as a member of the Waves’ coaching staff in 2010.

Hirtensteiner is in his second stint serving as an assistant coach at Pepperdine, as he worked under former head coach Frank Sanchez in 1998.

His coaching responsibilities include serving as hitting instructor, coaching third base and working with the outfielders. He also organizes Pepperdine’s fundraising efforts and the Malibu Baseball School.

Hirtensteiner’s tireless efforts in the recruiting wars paid off in 2005 as that year’s incoming recruiting class was ranked #7 nationally by Baseball America. The freshman class played a major role in helping the Waves compile a 41-23 overall record, win the West Coast Conference title, advance to the NCAA Tournament and conclude the year ranked in the national top 25.

During Hirtensteiner’s 11 seasons as an assistant, Pepperdine has posted an overall record of 394-262 (.601), won four WCC crowns and advanced to the postseason seven times.

Named the WCC’s Player of the Year in 1989, Hirtensteiner was an eighth-round draft pick by the California Angels. In 2007, Hirtensteiner was named to the WCC’s 40th Anniversary Team.

Hirtensteiner played professional baseball for seven seasons with the California Angels, Florida Marlins and Montreal Expos organizations, reaching the AAA level with Montreal. Hirtensteiner also played in the Northern League with the St. Paul Saints and the Pioneer League with the Salt Lake City Trappers, plus stints in Australia and Mexico.

A graduate of nearby Buena High School in Ventura, Calif., Hirtensteiner cracked the Pepperdine lineup as a rookie in 1986 and ended his career #3 on the Waves’ all-time games played list, appearing in 239 contests.

During Hirtensteiner’s collegiate career at Pepperdine, the Waves won four WCC titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament each season, compiling a cumulative four-year record of 164-76-7 (.678), including an 80-15-1 (.839) mark against league foes. The Waves earned a national top-20 ranking all four seasons.

The 1986 and 1988 teams advanced to the championship round in NCAA regional tournament play, while the 1987 team was ranked as high as #2 nationally and won a school-record 21 consecutive games.

A three-time All-WCC pick, Hirtensteiner ended his career ranked #6 in hitting at Pepperdine with a .336 batting average. He also ended his Waves’ career as the school’s all-time career leader in runs scored (228), triples (17) and total bases (470).

As a senior in 1989, Hirtensteiner led the Waves with a .366 batting average and clubbed a team-best 12 home runs as a leadoff hitter. Hirtensteiner tied a single-

game school record by slugging three home runs in a game at UC Santa Barbara. Additionally, Hirtensteiner emerged as the Waves’ closer, often tossing warm-up pitches in the outfield during conferences on the mound.

Hirtensteiner was named a CoSIDA Academic All-American in 1989 and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Hirtensteiner was also recognized as the WCC’s Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, becoming just the second Pepperdine athlete to earn the prestigious Pat Malley Award.

After completing his professional career, Hirtensteiner opted to pursue a coaching job, landing an assignment as a volunteer assistant at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. Hirtensteiner worked under head coach Jim Gilligan in 1996-97 while completing work for a master’s degree in business administration.

Hirtensteiner and his wife, Shannon, have three sons, Cade, Cullen and Crosby, and live in Agoura Hills.

Hometown: Glendale, Calif. Resides: Long Beach, Calif.

Education: Glendale High School (Calif.), 1990 Long Beach State, B.A. in psychology, 1996Family: Wife, Nikki Children, Casey, Brady

Honors: 2001, 2002 Western State Conference Coach of the Year

A Southern California native with 15 years of collegiate coaching experience, Jon Strauss joined the Pepperdine baseball staff as the team’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator in the summer of 2009.

He replaced Sean Kenny, who accepted a similar position at Maryland.

Strauss joined the Waves after completing his third coaching stint with the Long Beach State 49ers. He first served as an assistant on Coach Dave Snow’s staff from 1995 to 2000. Strauss then returned for the 2006 season before joining them again for the 2008 and 2009 campaigns. During his time at LBSU as a coach, the Dirtbags posted a win-loss record of 313-227, won three Big West titles, advanced to six NCAA Regionals and finished third at the 1998 College World Series behind one of the top hitting teams in school history.

Strauss’ 2008 Long Beach State pitching staff posted the second lowest earned-run average in the NCAA at 3.20 en route to a 38-win season and an NCAA Regional appearance. Five of his pitchers were taken in the first five rounds of that year’s Major League Baseball draft including Big West Pitcher of the Year Andrew Liebel. Additionally, Strauss’ staff led the country with the fewest walks per nine innings (1.93 walks per nine innings). During his years at Long Beach State, sixty-five players signed professional contracts.

During his most recent hiatus from Long Beach, Strauss filled the roles of top assistant, pitching coach, third base coach and recruiting coordinator at San Jose State. The Spartans were 34-26 in 2007 and their recruiting class for 2008 was rated among Collegiate Baseball’s annual rankings.

Strauss also served as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Loyola Marymount University for three seasons (2003-2005) where 11 pitchers signed pro contracts. The Lions twice won the West Coast Conference’s Divisional Championship (2004 and 2005) and reached the WCC Championship Series in each of those seasons. In 2004, his staff claimed three of the top five ERAs in the conference, including Pitcher of the Year, Steve Kahn, and Jeff Stevens, who made his major league debut with the Chicago Cubs in 2009.

After leaving LBSU in 2000, Strauss was named head coach at Glendale Community College, where he went 66-25 (.725) with a pair of league titles under his belt in 2001 and 2002. In each of those seasons, he was named the Western State Conference Coach of the Year. His 2001 squad broke the school’s previous win record of 27 by posting a 32-win season and then proceeded to break that record in 2002 by winning 34 games (current school record).

The Glendale CC Vaqueros recorded many great achievements under Strauss’ leadership. Twenty-two players moved on to four-year colleges, with 15 competing at the Division I level. Five players went on to play professional baseball, including Washington Nationals’ right-hander Marco Estrada (major league debut – 2008). In 2002, the team hosted the first Junior College Playoff Regional in school history. Seventeen players earned All-Conference honors during his two seasons.

Strauss, who caught for the Dirtbags during the team’s College World Series run in 1993 and in 1994, graduated from Long Beach State in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. Before earning his degree, he spent a year in the Yankees’ minor league system (Tampa Yankees) in 1994. Strauss prepped at Glendale High School, where he was an all-conference catcher in 1990, before starting his collegiate career at College of the Canyons (1991-1992).

Additional coaching achievements include pitching coach for the Chatham A’s (now Anglers) in the prestigious Cape Cod League in 1997 and 1998. The 1998 team won the Cape Cod League Championship with a roster that included future Major Leaguers Brian Roberts, Kevin Mench, Mike McDougal and Kyle Snyder.

He and his wife Nikki have two sons, Casey (11) and Braden (7), and a yellow lab, Cutter. They currently reside in Long Beach.

2010 PREVIEW

2010 Season Outlook Q&ANew faces on the mound, up the middle and in the outfield mark the start of an exciting new generation of Pepperdine Baseball.

Interviews conducted by Chris Macaluso, Brian Foley and Eric Sorenson

Steve Rodriguez is looking forward to the start of his seventh season as head coach of the Pepperdine Baseball program even though 2010 is not being met with as much fanfare by the baseball media compared to last year, when the Waves were pegged for the College World Series.

There are a lot of questions surrounding this year’s club such as, ‘Who’s taking over the middle infield? Who’s patrolling the corner outfield? And who’s coming out of the bullpen?’ But even though these queries have yet to be answered, Rodriguez appears to have a quiet confidence in this team that is largely comprised of freshmen.

For him, the challenge of coaching this many newcomers at once is an exciting one and he can’t wait to put them out on the field alongside a corps of talented veterans.

Before we start talking about 2010, what do you want to say about what happened last season? “We started off really well with some of our young up-and-coming guys playing terrific, but then a couple of our key players hit slumps and that caused a nasty tailspin. We tried to boost everyone’s confidence even as the season spiraled out of control, but we just couldn’t get some of them back on track. Once a player hit a slump the immediate hope was that others would pick up the slack; however, it just didn’t happen.”

What’s the number one point of emphasis for this year’s club? How do you turn things around? “I think every coach will say the same thing, and that’s to stay consistent and avoid injuries as much as possible. From my standpoint, I think we’ll have a good season if we can just go out there and maintain a high level of consistency throughout the year. Sure, we’re going to have some guys who hit slumps and others who get on a hot streak, but we’re going to ride those hot streaks as long as we can and avoid the slumps as much as we can. “Our schedule is going to be very tough and we’re going into this season with 13 new players, many of whom we’re going to be relying on — but I enjoy having freshmen out there in the field because I don’t think they’re that into the game all that much. They just go out there and play, and it’s a lot of fun to watch them do just that.”

Have any of the incoming freshmen impressed you during the offseason? “Joe Sever has really impressed us at the plate, so we are looking to him to play immediately. Sam Meyer consistently hit the ball hard all fall and Zach Vincej played really well on defense and should see significant playing time. Danny Patrick, Alex Najera and Cory Jones were all very impressive and should play a vital role for us on the mound.”

Who are you looking to fill the positions vacated by last year’s seniors? “We’re looking at Sever, Vincej, Harrison Kain and Miles Silverstein stepping into the middle infield positions, and in the corner outfield we have Ryan Van Amburg ready to take over a spot along with Tyler Brubaker and Floyd Given, who did a good job for us in the fall. “Offensively, we have a lot of experienced guys coming back and the younger guys have also been swinging the bats really well. Our newcomers on the mound are going to be thrown into the fire, but the consistency of our pitching staff will be pretty good once they can rise up to the challenge.”

Matt Bywater and Cole Cook were among your best pitchers a year ago. Will you be leaning heavily on them this season for a lot of innings? “Well, yeah. We might as well. They are our two best pitchers and have been really good this fall. They’ve been very consistent and hard working, and I’m excited to see what they’ll be doing for us on Fridays and Saturdays. “They experienced some success individually last season but they know it really didn’t do us a whole lot of good as a team. The truth is they need to come out, pitch well and get us deep into the game.”

Who will comprise the starting rotation beyond Bywater and Cook? “Robert Dickmann and Aaron Gates are the likely candidates. Robert has a lot of tools and did a phenomenal job of pitching in the fall, so I’d have to imagine that he’ll take over our Sunday spot. “Gates will continue to serve a dual role for the team both on the mound and in the batting order. We need a competitor like him on the hill as well as his power in the lineup. He also has great instincts as an outfielder.”

What’s been the response of your pitchers toward new pitching coach Jon Strauss? “Our guys really like him because he’s very passionate about what he does; he loves going out to coach and work with each one of the guys. One thing our pitchers really like about him is that they know exactly where he’s coming from all the time and what they’re going to get out of him. “The personality that he brings to the team is very strong and competitive, and I hope that transfers over to their success on the mound.”

What have you and Coach Strauss discussed with regards to the bullpen now that Nick Gaudi is no longer the everyday closer? “This is something that we talk about every day and we’re not quite certain who’s going to fill what role at this point in the preseason. There are a lot of ideas being tossed around between Jon and myself right now. He’ll say, ‘What do you think about this?’ and I’ll say, ‘Yeah, we can do that’ or ‘Maybe that will work.’ “Seriously, this is currently the biggest question mark facing this team. We have a lot of guys who can get us to our closer. I thought Jones, Najera, Patrick and Jordan Luvisi all showed us what they could do in the fall — they had some good outings in which they were very impressive and I hope they can maintain that level of consistency throughout the spring. It’s going to be interesting to see who rises to the occasion and grabs ahold of that closer’s job because it could be any number of guys right now; however, I also feel that this will probably be a last-minute decision.”

Pepperdine finished second in the nation last season with a .982 fielding percentage. What’s your philosophy on defense? “Being solid on defense gives pitchers a higher level of confidence to attack the hitters. It’s very important for infielders to field ground balls, whether they’re difficult or


2010 PREVIEW

Fifth-year senior Ryan Heroy is the Waves’ top returning power source, following a season in which he batted .290 with seven home runs and drove in 28 runs. He enters his final year needing six more RBI to reach 100 for his career.

What have you worked on in the offseason to improve your production at the plate? “I’m going to go for more line-drive, run-producing type hits this year rather than the long ball. It’s nice to hit a home run because they can change the game dramatically, but I’d rather hit a hard shot to the gaps and drive in some runs. “Coaches Hirtensteiner and Rodriguez work with me every day on cutting down my strikeouts. My swing will never be perfect, but I’m not striding as much. They’ve instructed me to go after the ball nice and easy, and just hit it rather than hitting it far.”

Where do you think you’ll be hitting in the lineup? “Wherever coach Rod wants me to hit, I’ll hit, whether it’s ninth, sixth or fourth. It’s a tough job, but Rod does what he can to get the best guys out there all the time. Anyone who’s hitting should be happy for the opportunity to do so, because there will be some guys on the bench not hitting nearly enough.”

Which of the middle infielders have impressed you the most? “Miles Silverstein had a awesome fall at shortstop. He’s hitting very well and is not making too many errors. Zach Vincej, a freshman, also has great hands and can hit the ball. He is a good ballplayer who will end up making a serious impact on this program. “At second base, we have Torrey Jacoby battling for playing time with Joe Sever and Fudgie (Emanuel Sifuentes). Torrey’s a veteran who had a good fall and who’s played all over the infield, and Joe just has all the tools — he can hit, run and field. Fudgie has the experience, but he’s battling back from an injury which can be tough to do. “Next year, (UCLA transfer) Chris Amezquita is going to be someone to watch. He hit four home runs and batted over .300 in the fall, and I’m excited for him and the future of this program. There is good chemistry on this year’s team and lots of good guys who have each other’s backs. “This year’s team has meshed together really well and we’re all hanging out with each other regardless of age or class. The coaches have done a great job bringing in guys who will contribute just as much in the clubhouse as they will in the field.”

Sam Meyer looks to be your eventual replacement at first base. What kind of player is he? “Sam is great to be around and is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met in my life. More importantly, he possesses what I call baseball charisma; he knows what’s going on, he plays aggressively, and he competes for the team. He’s also a great fielder and brings a lot of power to the right side of the plate. He was hitting the ball hard in the fall.”

Fifth-year senior Robert Dickmann returns to the Waves’ pitching staff following an injury-shortened 2009, in which he tore a muscle along the side of his back. The veteran looks to pick up where he left off as part of the starting rotation and will help tutor many of the younger arms.

You began last year with a solid start against Northridge and then were out for the rest of the year with an injury. What all happened? “I tore my lat (latissimus dorsi), which is a huge muscle along the side of the back and under the arm pit. It was a significant tear — 70 percent — but I felt no pain. I wanted to throw, but knew my best option was not to tough it out. This was my first serious injury and I felt helpless knowing my teammates could have used me out there on the field. “Overall, I’m thankful to have this second chance after redshirting and I’m ready to go. I rehabbed close to every day and over the summer was engaged in a throwing program, which allowed me to get back to full strength at the start of the fall. I was where I needed to be with the rest of the pitchers.”

What role do you want to play within this pitching staff? “I hope to stay in the starting rotation all year. As one of the older, veteran players, I feel that I’m perfectly capable of getting this team off on the right foot and eating innings. “Throwing out of the bullpen would be a weird situation for me, and will take some getting used to, but if it comes down to that and it’s the best decision for the team — then yes, I’ll certainly take on that role.”

How has it been to work with coach Jon Strauss? “I enjoy working with coach Strauss. He’s been a great addition. He brings a lot of energy to the guys on the pitching staff and likes to learn as much as he can from each of us. It’s a good relationship.”

What does his system entail and have you noticed improvements in the pitching since the fall? “Coach Strauss is all about throwing strikes, establishing and attacking the zone, and getting ahead of the hitters. He also emphasizes extension and throwing on a downhill plane, which can make it more difficult for hitters because we’re not leaving the ball up as much. “I think the pitchers this fall did a good job of throwing strikes and minimizing walks. The game tempo certainly felt quicker and a lot of the younger guys on our staff were throwing with confidence once they found their rhythm.”

Based on last year’s success, Matt Bywater and Cole Cook are certain locks for the weekend rotation. What are your thoughts on each of them? “They give us a strong right/left combination every weekend and have the ability to frequently pitch into the seventh or eighth inning. Matty has an awesome change up, he throws strikes, pitches to contact and keeps his pitch count down. Cook is more of a power pitcher and possesses a complete repertoire of pitches. Together they compliment one another extremely well and I’m excited to see how well they perform. I think our club can go very far on the strength of our starting rotation.”

Where do you see Aaron Gates fitting in? “He did not have it easy last year as a freshman weekday starter, facing teams like Fullerton, Long Beach and Cal Poly — games which were just as important as ones on the weekend. But I think it was a good learning experience for him and so far he’s had a great offseason. He’s another inning eater, so we could see him as another starter, a long reliever, or even as a closer due to his decent fastball.”

routine, so the pitcher knows that perhaps he can get away with a mistake. Sometimes he’s not going to get away with it, but at least he knows his infield is capable of making a diving stop followed by a strong throw across the diamond. “The goal is to get 27 outs any which way you can when you’re out there on defense, and that’s what we’re going to do. How we get them is up to each individual player.”

What’s been the reaction you’ve received from the players with regards to this year’s schedule? “Our schedule wasn’t as hard as perhaps it should have been last year and it worked against us a little bit. But with the competitive schedule that we have this year, our players know there’s not going to be a lot of downtime. We have to come ready to play every single day — especially during the midweek against teams like Fullerton, Long Beach and Irvine — and hopefully our team will rise to the occasion and our pitching staff will be firmly established. Judging by the look of this team in the fall and start of this spring, I think they’re going to be ready.”

Given Pepperdine University’s location in Malibu, is it really that hard to recruit? “It can be tough to recruit because we’re an academic institution, and financially, it’s not the cheapest school in the country. So there are a lot of factors recruits need to consider before making the decision to come to Pepperdine. “What’s great, however, is that the kids we get really want to come here and we don’t have to convince them all that much that this is the place to be. Usually we’re in agreement with recruits — so long as we can make it work for them financially — that Pepperdine is going to be an amazing place for them, and they absolutely love it once they get here.”

A number of fundraising projects have helped the team over the years. What’s next on your wish list? “I want to go on an international tour with the team, because some of our players will never have this type of opportunity once they leave the program. I see this as a once-in-a-lifetime experience that kids will always look back upon as they’re going through their adult lives. “I went to Japan when I played for Team USA and not only experienced the great baseball and rode the bullet trains, but I witnessed firsthand an entirely different environment and culture. At the same time, I want to make sure the trip is an educational experience and we’re going to do a lot of sightseeing once we get this opportunity. The plan is to go overseas late in the year, so we might be looking at some cold weather but it’s still going to be a great time for us all.”

Who has been the biggest influence on your coaching philosophy or career? “My philosophy on coaching is an accumulation of coaches and ideas. I don’t think it is wise for a coach to try to be someone else. If it’s not in your personality then it is not going to be successful. I have to coach they way I am. It has to be my personality, my intensity and my ideals. The way I coach is formed by things I have seen as a player all the way to the major leagues, and as a coach up until now. I am continually growing because the kids keep changing in how they need to be coached.

What are your early impressions of the uniform start date and do you think it has leveled the playing field? “I love the idea of everyone starting on the same date because it’s like Opening Day in MLB. However, I don’t think it leveled the playing field and don’t believe the playing field will ever be level since every school has its own unique issues.”

Senior catcher Trent Diedrich got off to a hot start in 2009 with a team-best 16-game hitting streak, only to suffer a broken foot at the start of the West Coast Conference season. However, he comes into 2010 fully recovered and ready to guide the Waves’ young pitching staff.

How are you feeling entering the 2010 season? “As of right now both my foot and shoulder are at 100 percent, but it was a tough fall trying to battle through the pain and stiffness. There were some frustrating days, but coach Rod helped me regain my confidence in using my shoulder more and more. “I didn’t even know I had a torn labrum until three days before last season started but I wanted to tough it out, and I made it through 23 games before I broke my foot during our second conference series. I waited a month to see if it would heal on its own — it didn’t — so I went ahead and had surgery on my shoulder and then three weeks later had a two-inch screw inserted into my foot.”

Are these injuries affecting your ability to hit? “It was tough to get fully comfortable in the fall, but I made some strides and had to keep reminding myself that it had been seven to eight months since I was last active at the plate. I worked hard over winter break and I can see that I’m coming along and am feeling more confident. “I’ve always been someone who prides myself on my approach at the plate. I’m never going to be the guy that hits 10 to 12 home runs in a year, but if I remain consistent and drive in runs, then I’ll have accomplished my goals. All I want to do is produce runs and be a horse behind the plate.”

Nate Johnson stepped up in your absence and swung a hot bat in the fall. Is there room for both you in the starting lineup? “Our team is lucky to have two good quality catchers and I expect that Nate and I will flip-flop throughout the year behind the plate. Neither of us have ever been complacent in our roles and we both thrive on the competition we bring out in one another. Our coaching staff will try and find ways to use both of us in the lineup, whether that means putting me at catcher or designated hitter.”

What’s your take on all the young arms on this year’s pitching staff? “You never really know how it’s going to go at this

point in the season. But from some of the character attributes I’ve seen in some of them, they’ve shown a lot of promise and I think they’ll do well in tough situations. “Cory Jones stays aggressive on the mound and his attitude is one of great confidence; Daniel Patrick, if he has control of his three pitches (fastball, curve and changeup), then he’s going to be extremely dangerous; and our two lefties Jordan Luvisi and Alex Najera throw stuff that’s truly detrimental to the opposing team’s offense. “We’ve also got two returning guys from last year’s bullpen — Keven Inman and Brad Jesernig — who look very promising. Inman is throwing the heck out of the ball and he can be a starter or long reliever for us. Jesernig had a great summer playing baseball and is continually gaining confidence.”

Sophomore center fielder Brian Humphries made the WCC All-Freshman team last year after batting .305 with 13 doubles, 88 total bases, 38 RBI and eight stolen bases. He finished the year on an eight-game hitting streak.

What did you learn as a hitter during your first year? “I learned to be a smarter hitter. In high school, most pitchers only have two pitches, the curveballs are bad, and no one is going to blow it past you. But in college, pitchers have

three to four pitches to choose from and you may never see a fastball. I remember one stretch looking at 15 straight off-speed pitches. I’ve learned that as a hitter you’re not going to get what you want, so you have to hit what you get.”

Do you still see yourself as the team’s leadoff hitter? “If I can improve my power then I’ll hit somewhere in the middle. If not, then I’m fine either batting leadoff or second.”

With Bryce Mendonca gone, are you expected to be the team’s primary base stealer? “Last year I stayed on first base to allow Nate Simon and Colin Rooney to drive me in, but this year I want to be more aggressive on the base paths and move my way around. My speed is above average, but I’m not as fast as Bryce. “We have some guys on this team that can cause some problems on the base paths. Ranny Lowe is very quick, Brubaker and Van Amburg both steal bases very well, and Harrison Kain was three-for-three in his stolen base attempts before he got hurt in the fall.”

Have you figured out how to play the new padded outfield wall? “It’s great to have the padding because now I can run into it and not get hurt. I don’t have to worry about hitting a pole. I also don’t have to worry as much about balls getting over my head because they’ll shoot right back off the wall toward me. We still have a portion of the wall in left-center that’s chain link, and the ball will die if it hits that.”

Who do you think will be playing the corner outfield? “I really have no idea, it could be any two of about five guys and it will all depend on what they do in the February team practices. Tyler Brubaker has improved tremendously as an outfielder and I could see him in left, or maybe Mike Hole. In right field, possibly a combination of Ryan Van Amburg and Aaron Gates.”

Additionally, the Waves have appeared in postseason play 27 times, including 24 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

The Pepperdine baseball program reached the pinnacle in June 1992 as the Waves captured the College World Series title for the first time in school history. Pepperdine defeated local rival Cal State Fullerton in the championship game by a final score of 3-2 in front of 17,000 fans at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb.

Former Pepperdine players who have enjoyed successful professional careers include Bill Bathe, Ryan Christianson, Mike Fetters, Gail Hopkins, Chad Krueter, Mark Lee, Keith McDonald, Rob Picciolo, Mike Scott (the 1986 National League Cy Young Award winner) and Andy Stankiewicz. Former Pepperdine players on 2009 Major League rosters included Dan Haren (Arizona Diamondbacks), Noah Lowry (San Francisco Giants), Will Ohman (Los Angeles Dodgers), Randy Wolf (Los Angeles Dodgers) and Dane Sardinha (Detroit Tigers).

Pepperdine became an established collegiate baseball power in the 1950s under the guidance of head coach John Scolinos. The Waves advanced to the District 8 Playoffs in 1955, 1957 and 1960. The 1957 team was within one game of a College World Series berth before losing to eventual national champion California in Berkeley.

In the mid-1970s, Pepperdine won three consecutive WCC titles under the guidance of Wayne Wright, who later served as the University’s Director of Athletics. The team competed in the District 8 Playoffs in 1974, 1975 and 1976.

Pepperdine advanced to the College World Series for the first time in 1979 under then-first-year head coach Dave Gorrie. After finishing second in the rugged Southern California Baseball Association, Pepperdine won the Mid-East Regional in East Lansing, Mich., defeating San Diego State in the title game by a final score of 13-2.

The Waves lost their opening game at the 1979 College World Series to Arkansas by a final score of 5-4, but rebounded to defeat Miami (9-4), Mississippi State (5-4) and Texas (6-4) before being eliminated by SCBA rival Cal State Fullerton by a final count of 8-5. Pepperdine finished third at the eight-team event and compiled a school-record total of 53 victories.

Pepperdine’s success continued during the 1980s, as the team advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989. The 1982, 1985, 1986 and 1988 teams advanced to their respective regional championship rounds only to be eliminated. The 1987 team established a school record by winning 21 consecutive games and was ranked as high as #2 in the national polls.

The WCC was reinstituted for baseball prior to the 1984 campaign, and Pepperdine has been the league’s dominant program, winning or sharing 14 of the 24 championships to date.

Pepperdine shook off years of frustration in 1992 as the team defeated Hawaii by a final score of 9-0 to win the NCAA West Regional at Tucson, Ariz. The Waves quickly became the crowd favorite at the 1992 College World Series, posting shutout wins over Wichita State (6-0) and Texas (7-0). After recording a dramatic come-from-behind 5-4 win over Texas, Pepperdine edged Cal State Fullerton, 3-2,

in the first-ever NCAA championship game to feature two teams from the same state.

Pepperdine continued its success in the 1990s and compiled a 381-189-3 (.668) record during the decade. The winning percentage of .668 ranked 18th nationally among the winningest teams of the decade. The Waves capped off the decade by posting a 46-16 overall record and advancing to the championship game of the 1999 Los Angeles Regional at USC. Pepperdine finished the year with a Top 20 ranking and was ranked as high as #3 during the season.

The 2006 season marked a first in program history as Pepperdine was selected as a regional site and hosted its first-ever NCAA Regional. The Waves were seeded #1 in the regional and registered wins over Missouri and UCLA before eventually falling to the Tigers in the championship game.

Pepperdine made it 32 consecutive 30-win seasons in 2009 after registering a 31-23 overall record and a 12-9 mark against West Coast Conference competition.

THIS IS

“What We hope to build is much more than a beautiful campus. it Will, as you can sense, be that. but if that is all We shall have accomplished, We shall have failed. What We hope to create here, in these hills, is a spirit of place. a place Where minds Will be opened, Where lives Will be changed, Where lasting relationships Will be formed.”

— seaver college dedication, may 23, 1970

PEPPERDINE• Malibu is located right alongside the Pacific Ocean, just about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Pepperdine’s picturesque campus is just a few hundred yards up the hill from Malibu Beach. The Malibu area, as well as all of Southern California, offers tremendous recreation, sporting and entertainment opportunities.

• Pepperdine’s motto is “Freely ye received, freely give” (Matt. 10:8).

• Pepperdine is an independent, medium-sized Christian institution committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values.

• Approximately 8,000 students are enrolled in five colleges and schools, including Seaver College, the flagship undergraduate school of liberal arts and sciences. A bachelor’s degree is available in nearly 40 areas of study.

• Pepperdine was ranked number 56 by the U.S. News and World Report’s list of America’s best colleges in 2009 (and is the only West Coast Conference school in the top 100).

• Pepperdine was awarded the title of “Most Beautiful Campus” by the Princeton Review in 2005.

• The student-to-faculty ratio is 13:1.

UNIVERSITY• Students and alumni consistently cite the quality, accessibility and caring nature of the faculty and staff as among Pepperdine’s major strengths.

• There are 395 full-time teaching faculty, and 98% of full-time faculty have earned doctoral degrees. Students are provided with experiential opportunities, including research projects and internships so that their knowledge can be put to practice.

• 75% of Pepperdine undergraduates receive some form of financial assistance.

• Pepperdine University is respected both nationally and internationally. Students come to Pepperdine from all 50 states and more than 70 countries worldwide. Additionally, nearly 60% of Pepperdine’s undergraduate students study abroad at one point within one more than 20 international programs.

• Pepperdine was recently voted as having the seventh-best study-abroad program in the nation by the Institute of International Education. Study-abroad programs include Heidelberg, Germany; London, England; Florence, Italy; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Lausanne, Switzerland; and Shanghai, China.

• Among the 38 different majors offered, the top five at Seaver College are business administration, advertising, international studies, international business, psychology and political science.

• The University was founded in 1937 by George Pepperdine, a Christian businessman who established the Western Auto Supply Company.

ATHLETIC Pepperdine is classified as an NCAA Division I-AAA school (Division I schools that do not sponsor football), and the Waves are one of the very best of their kind. Since the I-AAA Athletic Director’s Association All-Sports Trophy was established, ranking the various schools on their postseason success, Pepperdine has finished in the top six every single time, including in first place twice (2004-05 and 2005-06).

In the annual NACDA Director’s Cup standings, which measures overall postseason success, Pepperdine has finished first among all of its West Coast Conference rivals for 13 straight years.

BaseballThe 1992 College World Series champions, Pepperdine baseball has recorded a remarkable 32 straight 30-win seasons. The Waves have advanced to the NCAA Championships 25 times, including five times under head coach Steve Rodriguez. Pepperdine has captured 17 regular-season WCC crowns and four WCC Championship Series titles. Twenty-nine alums have gone on to success in Major League Baseball.

Men’s BasketballOver the years, the Pepperdine men’s basketball program has made 13 NCAA Tournament appearances, captured at least a share of 16 conference titles, won three West Coast Conference Tournament titles and sent dozens of players into professional basketball. Head coach Tom Asbury was one of the top coaches in the WCC’s history from 1989-94 and he has returned to Malibu to help the program thrive once again.

Women’s BasketballWith seven postseason appearances in the last 11 seasons, the Pepperdine women’s basketball team has developed into a consistent winner and a contender in the West Coast Conference. The Waves made their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2000 with an at-large bid, then captured the WCC Tournament title and subsequent NCAA appearances in 2002, 2003 and 2006, the most recent coming under head coach Julie Rousseau.

Cross Country / TrackHead coach Robert Radnoti has the goal of national prominence for his cross country and track programs. The Waves were extremely strong in these sports at their South-Central campus from the 1930s to the 1960s, with All-Americans and Olympians to their credit. However, the programs were dropped briefly when the university moved its campus to Malibu. The Waves have made great strides in cross country over the years and track was added again in the past few years.

Women’s SoccerOne of the youngest programs on Pepperdine’s campus, the women’s soccer team has quickly developed into among the strongest in recent years. Since its inaugural season in 1993, the Waves have posted 10-win seasons 10 times and made the NCAA Tournament five straight years from 2001-05. Head coach Tim Ward has helped his Waves reach the NCAA’s Sweet 16 on two occasions.

SUCCESS

Men’s GolfThe 1997 NCAA men’s golf champions and a regular at the top of the West Coast Conference’s leaderboard, Pepperdine competes with the nation’s best. The Waves have won 16 WCC titles since 1987 and have 11 straight NCAA regional appearances. Pepperdine won the NCAA title in John Geiberger’s first season and have posted two other top 10 national finishes.

Women’s GolfIn the last 16 seasons since Laurie Gibbs became head coach, the Pepperdine women’s golf program has developed into a national championship contender. The Waves have won 11 WCC titles, been to 11 straight NCAA Regional tournaments and have made nine NCAA Championships appearances. The Waves finished second in the nation in 2003 and boast four top-five finishes.

Women’s Swimming & DivingFor more than 20 years, Pepperdine has thrived in the Pacific Collegiate Swimming & Diving Conference. The Waves have had nine consecutive top-five finishes under head coach Nick Rodionoff, including a program-best-tying second-place finish in 2008. Ten of Pepperdine’s 20 record times have come under Rodionoff’s watch.

Men’s TennisNo team has been more consistent then Pepperdine’s men’s tennis program, which wins the West Coast Conference title and makes the NCAA Tournament with amazing regularity. The Waves have won 40 WCC titles, including 19 in a row. Led by head coach Adam Steinberg, the Waves reached the pinnacle in 2006 and won the national championship.

Women’s TennisNo coach has been on staff at Pepperdine for more consecutive years than Gualberto Escudero, who took over as women’s tennis head coach in 1977-78. His tenure has featured WCC titles (21, including seven in a row), NCAA Tournament appearances (26, with 12 in a row) and top 25 finishes (including eight times in the nation’s top 10).

Men’s VolleyballPepperdine’s most successful program has won five NCAA men’s volleyball championships, second-most of any school, with the last title coming in 2005. The program is synonymous with head coach Marv Dunphy, who was responsible for four of the titles and has also had a long association with USA Volleyball. Pepperdine has made the NCAA Championships event on 15 occasions, including six times in the past decade.

Women’s VolleyballFor most of its history, the Pepperdine women’s volleyball program has boasted one of the nation’s top coaches in Nina Matthies, who took over in 1983. Since the West Coast Conference added women’s volleyball, the Waves have been the league’s dominant program with 10 titles. Since 1981, the Waves have made 20 trips to the NCAA Championships, including 11 in the last 12 years.

Men’s Water PoloPepperdine was the host site of the 1984 Olympic water polo competition, so it should be no surprise that the Waves excel in the sport. Pepperdine has advanced to the NCAA Championships 12 times in its history and captured the national crown in 1997. Current coach Jack Kocur was a player on that title team. The Waves have won at least a share of conference titles nine times and have finished in the top 10 in the national rankings every year since 1976.

The Pepperdine University Athletics Department is committed to a program of life skills that provides educational experiences and services in order to develop well-balanced life styles for student-athletes; to encourage growth in decision making, planning and fulfillment of career and life goals; and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the university setting.

The program is required for every incoming freshman and transfer student-athlete. Nationally recognized speakers and a life skills class are part of the program. Topics are chosen to support the following commitment purpose statements:

• Commitment to Academic Excellence — To support the academic progress of the student-athlete toward intellectual development and graduation.

• Commitment to Athletics Excellence — To build philosophical foundations for the development of athletics programs that are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student athlete.

Pepperdine University’s goal is to “strengthen lives for purpose, service and leadership” and the Pepperdine Athletics Department is a strong believer in helping its student-athletes to meet this goal. The school’s athletic teams embrace the concept of volunteerism and service to the community. Teams are regularly taking on projects that will better the lives of others.

Step Forward is an annual day held each fall that is devoted to community service, when more than a thousand Pepperdine students, staff, faculty and alumni will disperse throughout Southern California in order to lend a hand to those in need. Pepperdine’s athletic teams have been front and center as part of this event, as well as other service opportunities year-round.

COMMUNITY

LIFE SKILLS/SAAC• Commitment to Personal Development — To support the

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENTPEPPERDINE ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHYThe Athletics Department supports and endorses the Pepperdine University Mission Statement. At Pepperdine University, student-athletes will be provided with opportunities to achieve goals as stated by the University founder, Mr. George Pepperdine. His original statement of purpose is still the guiding principle of the University: “Therefore, as my contribution to the well-being and happiness of this generation and those that follow, I am endowing this institution to help young men and women prepare themselves for a life of usefulness in this competitive world and to help them build a foundation of Christian character and faith which will survive the storms of life.”

Intercollegiate student-athletes representing Pepperdine University will be bonafide students pursuing degree programs of their choice who enjoy the opportunity to develop their athletics abilities consistent with the high standards of academic scholarship, sportsmanship, leadership and institutional tradition.

Further, it is recognized that the Pepperdine University Athletics Program:

• is an integral part of a total university spectrum involving students, faculty, administrators, staff and patrons.

• should develop character, maturity and a sense of fair play as well as athletics excellence.• should promote pride in the University among students, faculty, staff and community

supporters.• should generate revenue to support, in part, all intercollegiate athletics teams representing

the University.• should abide by the letter and spirit of the law requiring nondiscrimination on the basis of

sex, race, creed or national origin.• must abide by all rules and regulations as set forth by the institution, the governing

conferences and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

PEPPERDINE ATHLETICS OBJECTIVESAmong the objectives of the Pepperdine University Athletics program are the following:

• to develop an awareness and understanding of the human person, including intellectual, physical, social and spiritual dimensions.

• to encourage scholarship, leadership, sportsmanship, fair play and an appreciation of opponents and amateur athletics.

• to develop teamwork, respect for authority and an appreciation of rules and regulations governing the game.

• to develop an attitude of responsibility to society.• to develop an appreciation for the beauty of physical performance and aesthetic values.• to prepare students for meaningful and satisfying careers.• to help students gain understanding and respect for individuals from other backgrounds and

cultures.• to encourage students to become involved in neighborhood and community service

activities.• to field disciplined and competitive teams seeking superior athletic performance within

established rules and ethical conduct.• to schedule appropriate competition for the athletes and teams.• to have the University’s Athletics Department recognized as an ethical leader and an

example of excellence in management, performance and conduct.• to provide superior facilities for competition, training and teaching.• to seek continual improvement in the system of intercollegiate athletics by reducing

pressures on coaches which might lead to improprieties.• to create a positive, enjoyable and fun home event experience for Pepperdine students,

faculty, staff, alumni and fans.

When the West Coast Conference first got its start back in 1952, the founders really had only one goal in mind — to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball. What has grown from that original vision some 57 years ago is a marvelously cohesive athletics league that is competitive at a national level in 13 sports. The eight current members of the WCC span the western coast of the United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in academics and athletics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission. The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball. Originally chartered as the California Basketball Association, the five-team league included Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, San Jose State and Santa Clara, and the first-ever men’s basketball game was played January 2, 1953. After three seasons of play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became known as the West Coast Athletic Conference in 1956. The name was shortened in 1989. The current alignment of Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University, Pepperdine University, University of Portland, Saint Mary’s College, University of San Diego, University of San Francisco and Santa Clara University has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the

third-most stable athletic conference in the nation. Only the Ivy League and the Pacific-10 Conference have been together longer. Women’s sports were incorporated into the WCC prior to the 1985-86 season, and the league has made steady improvements in several sports, particularly basketball, soccer and volleyball. Since joining the WCC prior to the 1955-56 season, Pepperdine has claimed 129 WCC regular-season team championships in the following sports: baseball (17), men’s basketball (12), women’s basketball (4), men’s golf (16), women’s golf (11), women’s soccer (1), men’s tennis (40), women’s tennis (21) and women’s volleyball (10). Additionally, the men’s and women’s basketball team have each won the league’s postseason tournament three times. The baseball team has won the WCC Championship Series four times. The league relocated its headquarters in the summer of 1998 to San Bruno near the San Francisco International Airport. The WCC hired Jamie Zaninovich as its commissioner in March 2008.

WCC

MPSF PCSC The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation was established during the 1992-93 academic year to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championship competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The MPSF was originally formed to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. In men’s volleyball, the Waves have won five regular season and four tournament titles. Pepperdine competes against BYU, Cal State Northridge, Hawaii, Long Beach State, Pacific, Stanford, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and USC. MPSF schools have won 14 of the 17 NCAA men’s volleyball championships since the conference was created (including one by Pepperdine). In men’s water polo, the Waves have won two regular-season crowns. Pepperdine competes against California, Long Beach State, Pacific, Stanford, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and USC. MPSF schools have won all 17 NCAA men’s water polo championships since the conference was created (including one by Pepperdine).

Pepperdine has been a member of the Pacific Collegiate Swimming & Diving Conference for more than 20 years. The PCSC has allowed a number of swimming programs of all shape and size — NCAA Division I, II and III and the NAIA — who are not affiliated with a major conference to come together and participate at a championship meet. The Waves swim against Alaska-Fairbanks, Biola, California Baptist, Cal State East Bay, Chapman, Concordia, Fresno Pacific, Loyola Marymount, Northern Colorado, Seattle, Soka, UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz. Pepperdine has always been among the top programs in the PCSC and tied its best-ever finish with a second-place showing in 2008.
