THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO The University of San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of higher education. Founded in 1949, USD is located on 180 acres overlooking Mis– sion Bay, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alcala Park and is located just 10 minutes from downtown San Diego and the world famous San Diego Zoo. Historic Old Town is just minutes away as well. The city of San Diego along with this campus traces its origin to fifteenth century Spain. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid - Alcala de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Christians recaptured the village centuries later and founded a university, the University of Alcala, whose buildings became the inspiration for USD's style. Both institutions are lo– cated on a hill overlooking a river valley. THE CAMPUS The USD campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring 34 major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Renaissance style. Since 1999, USD has added
more than 600,000 square feet of building space through numerous major construction and expansion projects. In 2000 the Jenny Craig Pavilion, a 5,100-seat athletic center, opened its doors as home to USD volleyball and basketball. In the fall of 2001, the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice opened on the west end of campus, and a new Science and Technology Center recently opened for the 2003-04 academic year. Manchester Village, a 101-unit apartment complex, opened its doors on the east end of campus in 2002. Most recently, the Degheri Alumni Center, a 28,000 square-foot three-story building located near the main campus entrance, had its grand opening in May 2004. ACADEMICS
USD enrolls more than 7,200 students who have a choice of more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university's academic units include the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business Administra– tion, Education, Law, Nursing and Peace Studies. Class size generally averages between 15-25 students with the student to teacher ratio being 14:1. Over 97 percent of USD's full-time faculty hold doctorates. In the annual ratings of the country's colleges and universities, published by U.S. News & World Report, USD moved from the regional to national category in 1994. The university now ranks among the top 100 schools in the nation. STUDENT LIFE Student activities include cultural events, dances, boat cruises, beach parties, BBQ's, concerts, comedy nights, symposia and much more. Students participate in a wide range of volunteer projects such as adult literacy tutoring, senior citizen out– reach, and house building in Tijuana. The intramural program is also an integral part of student life on campus with more than two-thirds of the USD community partaking in intramural sports. ATHLETICS
The University of San Diego is a member of the West Coast Con– ference for nearly all sports and competes in 16 intercollegiate sports on the NCAA Division I
level. The football team just completed its 11th season in the Pioneer Football League. Women's sports include: basketball, cross country, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. Men's sports include: baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, foot– ball, rowing, soccer and tennis.

TORERO OUTLOOK
USDSOCCER: A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE Head Coach Ada Greenwood enters his second season at the helm of the USD women's soccer program. His 2004 Toreros are poised to carry on a tradition of excellence that has produced six straight winning sea– sons and five consecutive invitations to the NCAA Coll ege Cup Tourna– ment. Since joining the USD staff, first as an assistant in 1998 and later assuming the head coaching role a year ago, Greenwood has been es– sential in guiding the Toreros to a six-year overall record of 69-38-9. Greenwood and assistants Lucas Curtolo and Theresa Wagner must find a way to replace seven gradua ted seniors, including attacker Brenna Mullen (18 career goals) and starting goalkeeper Libby Bassett (14 career shutouts). A proven core of re turning starters promise to have San Diego competing at a high level when the season begins at UCLA on August 27th_ San Diego ha s seven returning starters and a total of 13 returning letter winners. Marie-Claude Henry, Brooke Roby, Kaitlyn Pruett, and Andrea Keesling highlight an accomplished senior class, with all four earning All-WCC honors during their respective USD careers. Look for Pruett and Keesling to anchor a defense that posted five consecu– tive shutouts to begin the 2003 campaign. Keesling brings an amazing

string of 63 consecutive starts into the 2004 season, having played and started in all of USD's matches since she arrived on the USD campus in 2001. Pruett, who was an All-Pac-10 player at USC earlier in her collegiate career, was named San Diego's 'Defensive MVP' last season.
The Torero offense also returns its MVP from a year ago. Senior Marie– Claude Henry put a team-high 15 shots on goa l as a junior, and was recognized as an All-WCC performer for her efforts in leading the Toreros into the NCAA Tournament. Classmate Brooke Roby has proven to be one of the best midfielders in the conference, having produced 31 career points as a three-year Torero starter. A pair of dangerous offensive players in juniors Lee Klopschinki and Michelle Rowe figure to receive ex tended TORERO HIGHLIGHTS... ** 6 straight winning seasons (8 of last 9) ** 5 straight NCAA Tournament appearances ** 1 of 20 teams nationally to qualify in each of the last 5 years 1 of 2 WCC teams to do it (Santa Clara) ** .630 all-time home winning percentage (69-39-7) ** Program average of 10.6 wins per season (12.5 since 1997) ** .556 all-time WCC winning percentage (43-34-3) ** 35 All-WCC players (15 first team) ** 23-8-1 at home against WCC opponents since 1995 ** 45-19-5 in Torero Stadium since 1997

playing time in the forward positions. Klopschinski reeled off a streak of scoring in six consecutive matches as a freshman and on a number of occa– sions put multiple shots on goa l last season. Despite missing significant time due to injury in ' 03, Rowe netted six goals last season, which was tied for the team lead . A pair of sophomore d efend ers, Brittany Young and Joslyn Williams, both started as true freshman. Young was awarded USD's 'Rookie of the Year' honors after starting in all of USD's 21 contests. Look for freshman Amy Epsten to make an immediate impact offensively. Epsten, a coveted recruit who starred in the Surf club program, ranks second in San Diego County prep history with 138 goals. Newcomers Karen Cook, Alisha Ferrer and Kylie Taylor will compete for the vacant goalkeeping position.
