''AMERICA'S FINEST CITY''
San Diego is truly "America's Finest City." A modern metropolis (second largest in California) and a popular year– round resort, San Diego spreads from the coast to the desert, including cliffs, mesas, hills, canyons and valleys. San Diego also surrounds one of California's greatest natural harbors which has been a dominant factor in determining the city's history, economy and development. As home of the largest naval air station on the west coast, the federal government ranks first in economic impor– tance to the city with the aerospace equipment industry second. Tourism closely follows as third. Business and pleasure coexist in harmony in San Diego. The climate, attractive setting and recreational facilities make San Diego "America's Finest City." According to Sports Illustrated, "For sheer numbers of participants, diversity of pursuits of involvement, San Diego must rank as the sports and fitness capital of the U.S." Sports are a major feature of the San Diego lifestyle. One can sail, swim, surf, scuba dive, snorkel, wind-surf on 70 miles of public beach or golf at any of the over 70 golf courses throughout the county. Balboa Park, a 1,158-ace recreation and cultural center, offers 25 tennis courts, two gym– nasiums, two municipal golf courses and one of the nation's finest zoos. Mission Bay Park is a 4,600-acre playground for jogging, fishing, bicycling, tennis, golf and kite flying. As well as participating in recreational activities, San Diego supports their professional teams-the Chargers in football, the Padres in baseball and the Sockers in soccer. Whatever sporting activity there is, it's here in San Diego-the sports capital of the U.S.A.

Hard work, loyalty and dedication are just some of the words that easily describe Iannacone.

Prior to his tenure at St. Francis, Iannacone served as assistant athletic director at Fordham University from 1977-84. Along with his administrative duties at Fordham, he was an assistant football coach for the Rams. From 1975-78, he acted as offensive coordinator and backfield coach as Fordham captured 19 victories in their final 24 games during this span. The 1977 squad was and remains the highest scoring team in Fordham history, averaging 34 points per game. In 1983 Iannacone was presented the prestigious Jack Coffey Award by the Alumni Association for outstanding contributions to Fordham athletics. He also served on various Metro Atlantic Conference committees. Prior to Fordham, Iannacone taught physical education and coached track and football in the Ridgefield , Norwalk and New Milford (CT) school districts from 1964-76.

USD Is Represented At Olympic Festival The 1990 U.S. Olympic Festival was held this past summer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This event annually brings together thousands of athletes, coaches and administrators to an event of epic proportions. Included at the event for the first time were two representatives of the University of San Diego women's basketball program. Sophomore center Chris Enger survived a very intense try-out camp and was selected to play on the West team in the women's basketball competition . USD Head Coach Kathy Marpe was named an assistant coach to the East squad. Chris was not too sure of her chances at first. "When the trials first began, I was very skeptical (of being chosen)," she remarked. "As the trials went on, I began to relax and was surprised and happy at being selected (to play)." Marpe's selection process was a little different. "I was originally asked to submit an application for the post, " she stated. "I was still very excited when my selection was announced. As a Minnesota native, it was nice to get back home and work with such an elite group of athletes ." It also gave Marpe a chance to watch Chris play without coaching her. They were on opposite teams. "It was fun watching Chris play, especially while coaching against her," Kathy remarked. "I wanted my team to win, but I definitely rooted for Chris . I feel that she did real well! " Both women are of the opinion that this year's Festival was a highlight of their careers. They both feel it will have a positive impact on USD women 's basketball. "It was great to play with and against some of the best players in the country. I know it helped make me a better player," Chris stated . "It should also help USD get some recognition because people will now know who we are and where we come from ." For the record: Marpe's East team took home the gold medal while Chris' West team had to "settle" for the silver medal.

HEAD COACH KATHY MARPE Kathy Marpe returns for her eleventh season as head women's basketball coach at the University of San Diego. The 1990-1991 campaign will mark Marpe's eighteenth season as a collegiate head coach. She is the "dean of coaches" among women's basketball coaches in the West Coast Conference, having been at USD longer than any other women's basketball coach at the other wee member schools.
Marpe's coaching career began following her 1971 graduation from the University of Minnesota (Bachelor's degree in Physical Education). Her first assignment came at Spring Lake High School in Minnesota, where she coached girls' volleyball, basketball and softball as well as track and field. She was at Spring Lake from 1971 through the end of the 1973 school year. Her volleyball and basketball teams qualified for sectional playoffs in each of the two years under her tutelage. The world of collegiate athletics beckoned to Marpe and she moved to the University of New Mexico, where she was named the head coach of the women's basketball team prior to the 1973-'74 season. She coached the Lobos for seven seasons, compiling a fine record of 87-63. Her last three squads were her best, posting a combined record of 51-30, including a 19-10 mark for the '78-'79 season. New challenges called to Marpe and she accepted the head coaching position for the women's basketball program at the University of San Diego prior to the 1980-'81 season. Marpe gradually shaped the USD program. The Toreras have recorded a 98-96 won/loss mark since the '83-'84 season, including last season's record setting 17-10 mark. In addition, she has a 36-30 mark in the WCC since USD joined the conference prior to the '85-'86 season. Kathy Marpe is one of the most respected members of her profession. She is a voting member of the UPI (Greenberg) Coaches' Poll. In addition, Marpe was named an assistant coach to the East squad during the women's basketball competition at this past summer's U.S. Olympic Festival, which was held in her home state of Minnesota. Marpe is also the executive director of the "Kathy Marpe Girls' Basketball Camp". The tenth edition of her camp will be held this summer on the University of San Diego campus.

1990-1991 Season Outlook: Continuing The Climb The 1989-1990 season for the University of San Diego women's basketball team was both a banner season and a record shattering campaign. The Toreras began the climb toward national prominence in the world of women's college basketball. The USD women enter the 1990-1991 season looking to build on the success of last year's team. For the USD Toreras, the 1990-1991 season will be the season that they look to "Continue The Climb". Seven talented letter winners return to Head Coach Kathy Marpe's 1990-1991 USD Torera squad. Three starters return to this year's squad as well as the top front court reserve and three players who will battle for the two spots open in the Toreras' backcourt. The remainder of the squad consists of the four women who comprise the top recruiting class in the team's history. The strength of the Toreras will be its tall and talented front court. In 6'5" sophomore center Chris Enger, the Toreras have a player who dominated the West Coast Conference in '89-'90. Enger established new USD and WCC records in single game blocked shots (12) and rebounds (24) as well as season blocked shots (96). Her blocked shot average of 3.6 per game was the sixth best nationally. She averaged 9.9 points and 8.5 rebounds and was named to the WCC All-Conference team as well as being selected its "Freshman Of The Year". Battling Chris for the starting spot is 6'3" senior Christi English. English averaged 7.1 points and 6.5 rebounds during '89-'90 and is the number nine USD career rebounder with 368 rebounds. Both starting forwards return to the '90-'91 Toreras. Molly Hunter, a 5'1 O" senior, has been a starter since her sophomore year. Hunter, who averaged 6.0 points and 4.3 rebounds as a junior, is considered the team's top defender. Hunter will be joined at forward by 6'2" junior Lynda Jones. Jones was the number three scorer in '89-'90, averaging 9.8 points per game. She was named to the WCC Honorable Mention list following last season. Graduation took both guards who started in '88-'89 . The cupboard is not bare, however. Talented players return at each position. Each player appears quite capable and willing to step into the starting line– up. The starting point guard position has beerynanded to 5'5" sophomore Angie Straub. Straub averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 assists in her first collegiate campaign. Joining Straub in the Toreras' backcourt will be one of two juniors, Debbie Gollnick or Julie Doria. Gollnick is a deadly long-range shooter who averaged 1.3 points and 1.1 rebounds as a sophomore. Doria, equally adept at both guard spots, averaged 1.4 points and 1.2 rebounds last season. Four extremely talented newcomers with impressive credentials complete the list of 1990-1991 USD Toreras. Headlining these newcomers is 6'1" freshman Jill Shaver. Shaver, an All-American from Albuquerque NM's El Dorado HS, is considered an impact type player. She will see much action at both small forward and shooting guard. Melisa Sortino, a 5'7" freshman from Marina HS in Huntington Beach CA, was an AII-CIF selection in her senior year in high school. She will back up Straub at point guard and may also swing over to the shooting guard spot, as well.
Two new Toreras will provide additional front court depth. Junior Ernestine "Chato" Platero was an All-Arizona Community College selection at Cochise College in Douglas AZ. The 6'1" Platero will back up Jones at the power forward spot. Detra Young, a 5'11" freshman from Pomona CA, was an All-Pacific League choice at Banning HS in Wilmington CA. She will play behind Hunter at the small forward spot. The '90-'91 season will offer many challenges for the Toreras. In addition to its annual trek through the West Coast Conference, USD will face home contests with the likes of UNLV, Colorado, Texas Tech and Wyoming. The Toreras will face road tests at Arizona State, Arizona and Cal State Fullerton as well as at the Converse Classic at Oregon State. The Toreras will also attempt to defend their San Diego City Championship in a November clash with cross-town rival San Diego State. What kind of season will it be for the Toreras? All the pieces are in placeforabannerseason. Thequestwillcontinuein '90-'91 as the USD Toreras look to "Continue The Climb". It should be an interesting quest.

WEST COAST CONFERENCE The West Coast Conference is six years old th is season, at least in terms of sponsoring women 's athletics. The WCC got is start in 1952 as a men's basketball alignment made up of five Bay Area schools. Now, 38 years later, the confe rence spans the Pacific states from the borders of Canada to Mexico with eight members in three states. The wee executive committee approved the women 's league to start in 1984, though it has changed slightly since its inception. At its outset, the women 's conference was technically called the "The West Coast Athletic Conference for Women " and had five members from the men's side of the league with dual membership- Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, San Diego, San ' Francisco and Santa Clara. Associate members Nevada-Reno and United States International filled out the seven-team field. The league existed in that form for two years with USIU winning the first women 's basketball championship in 1986 with an 11-1 league record . In 1987, the women moved to align themselves with the men's league. Gonzaga, Portland and Saint Mary's replaced USIU and UNR. Gonzaga wasn't intimidated by it all, edging fellow newcomer Portland for the championship . In its five previous seasons , four schools have held the basketball crown: 1986-U. S. International (11 ~1), 1987-San Franci sco (10-2), 1988-Gonzaga (11-3), 1989-Saint Mary's (12-2), 1990-Saint Mary's (12-2) The West Coast Conference offers collegiate competition in the following women's sports: basketball, cross country, tennis and volleyball.

ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS Academics and athletics go hand-in-hand at the University of San Diego. It is a partnership that is essential to the successful development of any student-athlete. At the University of San Diego, education is the most important part of a student-athlete's college career. To that aim, the University provides the student-athlete with the greatest chance of reaching his/her potential. The USO women's basketball team is proud of its excellent traditions. Nowhere is this pride manifested more than in the classroom. The twelve members of the '89-'90 Toreras compiled a grade point average of 3 .20. Seven members of the team were named to the West Coast Conference "Scholar-Athlete" lists. Four of those players-guards Angie Straub and Debbie Gollnick, forward Lynda Jones and center Chris Enger-return to the team for the '90-'91 season. One player from the 1989-1990 squad received the highest academic honor that is bestowed by the West Coast Conference. Paula Mascari, who graduated in May with a bachelor's degree in Communications and a grade point average of 3.70, was named the WCC "Female Scholar– Athlete Of The Year". She became the first Torera to be honored with such a prestigious award. The women's basketball coaching staff is committed to ensuring that all players are given the greatest opportunity to graduate. All of the athletes who have played four years at USO have graduated or are currently progressing toward their degrees. Among the majors of those graduated are: Business Administration, Communications, Liberal Arts, Psychology, Religious Studies and Sociology. Due to the excellent academic counseling programs available at USO, most of these players graduated within four years. Academics and athletics - at the University of San Diego, they are a partnership well-suited for each other!
