2009 PreviewQ&A With Head Coach Junior Gonzalez

Q: Before we get to the 2009 season, what were your thoughts at the conclusion of the 2008 season with regards to the team’s play and outlook for the future?

A: The 2008 season was difficult for all of us, coaches and players alike. We had to deal with a lot of injuries and adversity before the season even started.

Once the season started, our pre-conference schedule was one of the toughest in the nation with teams like Cal, UCLA, St. Louis and Creighton. Not having the full healthy team we expected to had made that portion of our season that much more difficult.

And then of course, the Big West Conference absolute-ly blew up last year with four teams getting bids to the NCAA Tournament. So the team we ended up having on the field, what with our injuries, wasn’t really built for that kind of schedule.

The good thing that came out of the year is when you have injuries like we did it allows your freshmen class

and some of your younger players to step in and play earlier than they otherwise would have and get some valuable playing experience against the best competi-tion in the country. They aren’t going to face any situa-tions this year that are more challenging than what they went through last year.

Q: Although the final W-L record may not have been what you had hoped, the 2008 season did bring us our most impressive win ever with a 2-1 victory over No. 7 UC Davis. What does a win like that do for a club that is looking to build a winning tradition?

A: We had some close games with some tough teams last year, and I knew we were close to getting a big win like that, and everything came together in that match. But throughout the year, we weren’t consistent enough to string together 90 minutes of that kind of play.

We put it together on that day, and I think it showed the team what we were capable of, but there is a difference between knowing you can do something and actually going out and doing it for 90 minutes of every match regardless of who the opponent is.

So it was a great win for the program, but even in win-ning that match, I think it highlighted the kind of things we needed to work on, and that kind of led into our spring season and offseason work.

Q: You mentioned the offseason workouts. Our soccer stadium sits between the athletics department offices and our primary parking area. More often than not this summer, as staff would walk in to work, we saw members of the team working out on their own and in small groups getting ready for the season. Was that an unusual occurrence and what does that tell you about the players who took it upon themselves to prepare for the season in that manner?

A: Well, at the end of the season, the overall record obviously wasn’t what we were looking for, so after the fall season we got together as a team and decided to change some things within the program. Our rising seniors in particular wanted to do some thing in terms of holding each other accountable, to get increase the team’s fitness level, to build our training and playing environment to a higher level.

So it really began in the spring season which was very successful for us in terms of our our change in attitude, our work rate, our defensive pressure on the ball, the confidence we had in each other that if we put the work in good things would come of it. It should itself in the our strength and conditioning program as well with players really taking it upon themselves to improve.

What you saw over the summer was the culmination of that, and a direct result of the conversations we had at the end of the 2008 season. The rising seniors organized everything you saw this summer getting the team to come train on their own, getting local players to come in and run un-officiated scrimmages.

The Highlanders are looking to replace the offensive production of Joel Crompton whose 8 goals and 17 points from a year ago paced the squad.


We feel way ahead of the game this year as a result of that training and the work these guys have put into reaching our goals.

Q: Looking now to 2009, can you remind Highlanders fans which players we lost due to graduation last year and who we might see taking their places this year?

A: Aaron Hunter was a central defender for us who was healthy for maybe six games last year, but he still played in two thirds of our matches. He was one of our captains, and when he’s healthy, he’s a guy you want anchoring your defense. Even when he’s not healthy, you want him out there because he’s a great leader, but injuries kept him from having the kind of season we all would have liked for him to have as a senior.

Nate Paterson will probably step into Aaron’s roll. Nate has played mostly as a forward for us, but we’re converting him into a central defender. He’s one of our co-captains this year and was one of the main guys organizing the team over the summer.

David Watson was an outside back. We have David Lozano who also played outside back for us and will step into David Watson’s leadership roll, and sopho-more Azeez Atanda will play outside back for us as well on the right side. Azeez was big in that UC Davis win. He helped mark Dylan Curtis - one of the Aggies top offensive players - and, Azeez showed what kind of an impact he can have on the conference.

And Joel Crompton, our leading scorer from a year ago, who was really good on set pieces. Alex Racca will take over his spot as our set piece and free kick specialist and should be just as dangerous as Joel was in that area.

Joel was also kind of a utility player for us in that we used him as a central defender, center mid and forward, so there probably isn’t a single player this year that will replicate what Joel did for us. With the depth that we have this year, we won’t be asking one player to move around the field in that many positions.

Michael Galland, one of our outside mids, takes the leadership mantle from Joel. He’s another one of our co-captains, goalkeeper Ryan Schmitz being the third.

Q: Last year’s team, as you’ve noted, had just three seniors. This year’s has eight. Is this the most veteran team you’ve had at UCR?

A: I would say it is. In 2004 we had quite a few seniors. That was the first class we had come through as a Divi-sion I program. But I think this year’s squad has more depth, more experience and more leadership than that club did.

Q: Joel Crompton is one of the better offensive play-ers to come through the UCR ranks during our Divi-sion I era. How does his loss in particular impact the team in 2009, and how do you replace his scoring?

A: Right now we’re five deep at the forward position, so we have a lot more scoring options this year. I don’t see us needing to rely on one player to carry the scoring load. Joel scored most of his goals from the center mid position, but with the depth we have at forward, we won’t need to rely on our midfielders for scoring as much as we have. And as we’ve increased the number of goal-scorers we have on the team, we hopefully in-crease the number of opportunities as well, as defenses have to adjust to that depth.

Q: What other returning players do you see increas-ing their on-the-field impact this season?

UCR senior tri-captain Nate Paterson moves from forward to defender this season to shore up the team’s defensive efforts.


A: Cesar Diaz and Joe O’Connor. Robert Cate. A num-ber of roll players last year like Joel Garcia and Xavier Perez will get more time because we have two solid lines we can bring at people.

Q: Let’s take a look now at the new blood. Which freshmen and transfers do you see contributing right away?

A: Arnie Sanchez is a junior transfer that will give us a huge presence as a forward up top. Tyler Wilson, an outside midfielder is a transfer who is going to be a huge impact player. Jose Diaz is a freshman, 6-3 central defender, who is set to start at that position.

Out of all the teams we’ve had here, I think this is prob-ably the best mix of classes - freshmen through seniors - that we’ve ever had.

Q: Not all of the new blood is actually on the field this season, as you’ve added four new people to the coaching and administrative staff. What can you tell us about them and what they bring to the program?

A: The first hire was Carlos Juarez as an assistant coach. He’s got two plus decades of coaching experi-ence at all levels of soccer, and we’ve had a great working relationship for a number of years. There is a comfort level between us. I know that when we’re split-

ting up into positional training that the things we need to get accomplished are getting accomplished and the players have a tremendous ammount of respect for him.

Then Mychal Armstrong joined us to help work primar-ily with our goalkeepers, and all of our keepers have bought into his training methods and I think we’re go-ing to see some real results from his involvement with the program.

Then we also added Erasmo Solorzano, a former player for us as well as a former professional player. He has that instant credibility of having played at the highest levels of soccer, and he talks to the players more on the side as we’re in breaks in a way that the rest of us probably couldn’t because he has that recent playing experience.

It’s a really good mix. I’m confident that we’re getting the most out of our training sessions and preparing the team for the season. We’re also increasing our involve-ment in the community generating more awareness for the program. It’s an exciting time to be around the program.

Q: Ryan Schmitz returns for his second full season in goal. What did you think of his improvement during the 2008 season and what can we expect from him in 2009?

Ryan Schmitz (left) and Cody Suppé give the Highlanders the best 1-2 combination at the goalkeeper position that they have hadin the Division I history of the program


A: Ryan was obviously a bit shaky in the beginning. Facing Cal, UCLA, St. Louis and Creighton behind an injury-depleted roster probably isn’t the best way to ease yourself into the world of collegiate goalkeeping (laughs). But he handled himself well, he learned a lot, and he’s much improved from this time a year ago.

But Cody Suppé also came back in great shape giving us a tough preseason competition for the goalkeeper position. That spot is still up for grabs as we head into the season.

Q: What are the differences and similarities in their styles of play?

A: Ryan does a good job of organizing and he does a good job with high balls. He’s a good shot stopper. And he has the respect of his back line because of the experience they gained together last year.

Cody is an athletic keeper, and a great shot-stopper. He needs to work on his communication with his back line, but that’s the kind of thing that comes from the experi-ence of playing with one another.

And we also have Alex Abelson, a redshirt fresh-man, who is a solid keeper as well. This is as closely matched as I’ve ever had three goalkeepers.

Q: We spoke earlier about the difficult pre-conference scheduling from a year ago. What are your thoughts on how you schedule those pre-conference matches and are there any games that stand out as benchmark games as you look towards conference play?

A: This year our preseason schedule is mostly made up of teams ranked anywhere from 50-120 from a year ago. It’s a good mix of teams that will challenge us and teams that we think we can be competitive against.

Illinois-Chicago is ranked in the top 10 in some of the early preseason polls, and we play them in the second match at the UNLV Rebel Classic on September 20. That’s our second-to-last match before the start of con-ference, and should give us a pretty decent idea of how far we’ve progressed before we open Big West play at home against Cal State Northridge ten days later.

Q: Last year the Big West put four teams in the NCAA Tournament, and the conference can certainly lay claim to being one of the best if not the best soccer conferences in the country. Which teams do you see battling it out for Big West supremacy this season?

A: Obviously UC Santa Barbara has earned the right to be considered among the preseason favorites year in and year out based on their past results. But it really could be any team in the conference participating in the Big West Tournament at the end of the year. UC Irvine was at the bottom of the conference in 2007, and then in 2008, they win it, so anything can happen.

Q: Come November if the Highlanders are preparing for a first-round match in the Big West Conference Tournament, what are the things that have happened to get us there?

A: I would say taking care of the details within our at-tack, within our defense, within our overall game plan.

Our team chemistry will be important as well. With the depth we have this year, we may have some players who think they should be getting more minutes, but they have to put that behind them and have the right attitude and just be ready to compete whenever they’re called upon.

With the Big West being as tough as it is there are going to be injuries, and we’re going to want to keep people fresh during the season so opportunities will come for those who are ready to take advantage of them.

It’s a cliché, but we’re looking at things game-by-game. We’re treating every opponent like they’re th etop team in the conference. It’s college soccer, and anything can happen.

Xavier Perez scored the game-winning goal in the Highlanders’ 2-1 upset over seventh ranked UC Davis on October 18, 2008.


Othoniel “Junior” Gonzalez was named head coach of the UC Riverside Men’s Soccer program on February 11, 2004 after serving as the team’s lead assistant since the program’s re-start in 2001.

In 2004, his first year at the helm, Gonzalez and company tied the school Division I record for wins posting a 7-10-1 record while leading the Highlanders to a program-best third place finish in the Big West conference. In 2007, the Highlanders set the school mark for winning percentage in a season.

The 2008 season saw UC Riverside square off against eight Top-25 teams in-cluding a 2-1 upset of seventh ranked UC Davis at the UCR Soccer Stadium.

Gonzalez attended UCLA under current Columbus Crew Head Coach Sigi Schmid, where he helped the Bruins to three Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Champion-ships and a 1997 NCAA National Championship.

Cucamonga High School in 1995, where he was a four-year var-

sity letterman. He earned all-league honors as a junior

and a senior. In his free time, Gon-

zalez enjoys playing golf and running. He and his wife, Melissa, and their son, Isaac, reside in Rancho Cu-camonga.

Administration & The University


Stan MorrisonDirector of Athletics

Nationally known for his work as a head basketball coach and as an athletics administrator, Stan Morrison has led the Highlanders in the transition to Division I. Morrison joined UCR in August 1999, an appointment that Chancellor Raymond L. Orbach described as “one of the most significant in UCR’s distinguished athletic history.” As director, he oversees all aspects of the ath-letics program and guided UCR through the transition into Division I, including the selection of the Big West Conference and the expansion of sports programs.

Prior to UCR, he served as vice president for The Dudeck Group, an executive effectiveness-coach-ing program for high achieving individuals. He has achieved national recognition as a basketball coach and athletics administrator at four Division I universities -- San Jose State, the University of Southern California, the University of Pacific, and the University of Cali-fornia, Santa Barbara. He also has worked as a sports

broadcaster. In the spring of 2006, Morrison was appointed

to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Commit-tee. The committee is responsible for the oversight and admin-istration of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Champion-

ship Tournament, including

selecting the 65 teams that participate in the tourna-ment. His five-year appointment to the 10-member committee began on September 1, 2006.

Morrison first gained national attention as a center for the University of California, Berkeley, as the Bears won the NCAA title in 1959 and were runners-up in 1960. After earning a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1961, Morrison was a European All-Star and helped the Real Madrid team to the European Cup finals. He returned to Cal in ‘62 as a graduate assis-tant and played AAU basketball for the San Francisco Olympic Club, earning All-American honors.

While at UCSB (1986-89), he was administrator over the Gauchos 21-sport program, helped raise significant funds annually for UCSB Athletics and served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament Committee. In 1989, he returned to the coaching ranks at San Jose State University, guiding the Spartans for nine years (1989-98). His stay in San Jose was highlighted by a Big West Co-Championship in 1994, and Big West Tournament Championship, NCAA bid, and first round match-up with Rick Pitino’s Kentucky Wildcats in 1996. He is one of a handful of coaches to take three different schools to the tournament, and the only NCAA coach to do it with three schools from the same state.

Upon leaving San Jose State, Morrison served as a personal coach and consultant to Los Angeles Lakers’ center Shaquille O’Neal. He has also worked as a color commentator for Pac-10 and West Coast Con-ference basketball for FOX Sports and BAY TV.

Timothy P. White, president of the University of Idaho, was named chancellor of the University of Cali-fornia, Riverside by the UC Board of Regents on May 15, 2008. The appointment, made on the recommenda-tion of UC President Robert C. Dynes, took effect in August of 2008.

An immigrant from Argentina who attended all three systems of California public higher education and received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, White has three decades of experience in public research universities. He has held faculty appointments at Michigan, UC Berkeley, and Oregon State, where he served as provost and execu-tive vice president, and as president on an interim basis, before joining Idaho as president in August 2004.

White, 58, has led the renewal of the University of Idaho as president, placing a focus on strategic plan-ning, diversity, improved communication, multidis-ciplinary research initiatives and the fostering of a student-centered culture. His academic background is in physiology, kinesiology and human biodynamics, and he is internationally recognized for his work in muscle plasticity, injury, and aging.

White succeeds former UCR Chancellor France A. Córdova, who stepped down last summer to assume the presidency of Purdue University. Robert D. Grey, a Uni-versity of California veteran who previously served as provost and executive vice chancellor at UC Davis, has been serving the Riverside campus as acting chancellor.

Born in Buenos Aires, White as a child moved with his family first to Canada and then to Northern Califor-nia. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen. A first-generation

college student, White began his higher education at Diablo Valley Community College. He achieved his B.A. at CSU Fresno; his M.S. at CSU Hayward; and his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley.

Upon completion of his Ph.D., White served as a postdoctoral scholar and then faculty member at the University of Michigan, ultimately serving as chair of the Department of Kinesiology. From 1991 to 1996 he was at UC Berkeley, serving as professor and then chair of the Department of Human Biodynamics. He subse-quently joined Oregon State, where he served as dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences. In the early 2000s he served as provost and executive vice president there, and also as president on an interim basis.

The University of Idaho is the state’s land-grant and flagship research institution and home to the state’s only law school. It enrolls 13,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students and participates in NCAA Division I athletics.

As president of the institution, White launched a strategic planning effort, streamlined the administra-tive structure, adopted a comprehensive action plan for diversity and human rights at the university, launched a series of interdisciplinary programs in targeted fields important to the state of Idaho, and improved the institution’s fundraising success. He also placed an emphasis on building trust with internal and external constituencies and on creating a student-centered uni-versity with a strong sense of community.

White’s family includes his wife, Karen, and four children.

Head Coaches


Josh Everett joined the UC Riverside Athletics De-partment as head strength and conditioning coach in the summer of 2001. Everett came to UCR from UCLA, where he had served as the assistant strength and condi-tioning coach from 1999 to 2001.

Everett is a certified strength and conditioning spe-cialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. He also is certified as a club coach through USA Weightlifting.

Everett was a two-sport athlete as an undergraduate at Ohio Northern University, competing in football and track and field. He was a five-time conference champi-on in hurdle and relay events and earned All-American Outdoor Track and Field honors in the 4x100 relay. He also starred as the starting running back on the football team.

After graduating with a BA in physical education from Ohio Northern, he went on to Ohio University to obtain a master’s degree in athletic administration while serving as a graduate assistant strength and con-ditioning coach from August 1998 to June 1999.

Everett is a 1993 graduate of Shawnee HS in Lima, OH. While in high school he played three years of varsity football and earned First-Team All-Conference and All-City honors his senior year. He also competed in four years of varsity track and was a state finalist in high hurdles. In his free time, Everett enjoys lifting weights, running, reading and watching movies. He and his wife, Mary, reside in Moreno Valley.


UC Riverside Strength and Conditioning Coach Josh Everett oversees a program designed to help UCR student-athletes reach new heights of physical excellence.

“Great athletes possess great strength, power, and flexibility in the ‘core,’” Everett said. “This is where we place most of our emphasis.”

The UCR program consists of Olympic lifting, strength lifting, body weight calisthenics, plyometrics, medicine ball throws, agility work,

speed work, stretching and tumbling routines, all designed to increase the strength of the ‘core’ of the body. Workouts are

designed to compliment the practice schedule. “The most important activity an athlete can do to improve at their sport is to work on the skill of the

sport,” he said. “But there are very few champion athletes today who are physically weak. Strength training is a must to become a standout athlete.”

“We attack the weights in the same manner as we should attack within the athletics arena,” Everett said. “Since most sports are stand up power sports that involve multiple joints and muscle groups we lift a large percentage of the time on our feet performing free weight, multiple

joint/muscle exercises in an explosive fashion. We vary intensities in our training to develop speed,

strength, and power. By doing these activities we maximize each athlete’s potential and produce

winning teams.”

and protective equipment is a minimum requirement for success in the field.

Athletic trainers meet the requirements through educational programs accredited by the Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation, which is sponsored by the American Medical Association. At present there are almost 100 undergraduate pro-grams and over 30 graduate programs. To become certified, individuals must successfully complete a written and practical examination. The educational process also includes a clinical affiliation, during which the student works with a certified athletic trainer in the field. A baccalaureate degree is the minimum educational requirement for certification; however, over 70% of the National Athletic Trainers Association members possess master’s degrees.

Leadership Opportunities

Skills Advisory Team, which provides leadership and oversight for the overall program.

The cornerstone of the program is the Educational Speaker Series. This series brings in a number of guest speakers over the course of the school year on topics such as substance abuse, motivation, nutrition, date rape, and eating disorders. Topics are based on current concerns of the individual teams and address issues that can affect the entire campus community.

Each year, participating schools in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program have the opportunity to send a student-athlete to the NCAA Foundation’s Annual Leadership Conference in Orlando, FL. This unique opportunity brings together more than 700 student-ath-letes, from all sports and all divisions, for an intensive, two-day leadership conference. For more information and updates on the “Golden ARCHES” and CHAMPS/Life Skills programs, visit their websites at: www.arches.ucr.edu or www.lifeskills.ucr.edu.

Student-Athlete Mentors As one of the three organizations that make up

the nationally acclaimed “Golden ARCHES” Peer Education program, the UCR Student-Athlete Men-

Balancing athletic commitments with academic commitments, representing ones school and community while finding one’s own individual identity, developing chemistry with their teammates while trying to build lasting relationships with other students. These are just a few of the challenges that face student-athletes each and every day throughout their collegiate careers. All this in an attempt to get the most out of their college experience while trying to determine what the future holds for them. To help them deal with these challenges, student-athletes have three resources to help them throughout their collegiate career: The CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, the Student-Athlete Mentors and the Student-Athlete Advisory Council.

CHAMPS / Lifeskills UCR has participated in the CHAMPS/Life Skills

Program since 1999. The program was developed to help student-athletes succeed in the classroom and community as well as in athletic competition. The five key components of the program are Academic Excel-lence, Athletic Performance, Personal Development, Career Development, and Community Service. While this program was developed specifically for student-athletes, the materials and resources benefit the entire campus. Programs and workshops are targeted specifi-cally to student-athletes and teams, but most are open to other students as well.

UCR’s program is run by CHAMPS/Life Skills Coordinator Doug Everhart, a health educator from the Division of Student Affairs. His expertise is in substance abuse and related health issues, as well as leadership training and development. He has had significant success in developing nationally recognized peer education programs. Under his leadership, UCR’s “Golden ARCHES” (Advocating Responsible Choices through Health Education and Support) Peer Educa-tion Program has become one of the most respected in the nation. This expertise and experience has earned him a spot on the NCAA’s 12-member CHAMPS/Life

Golden ARCHES representa-tives, including Doug Ever-hart (2nd from right), and former student-athletes and SAMs representatives Kristie Martinez (softball, 2nd from left), Valencia Augustine (track & field, 4th from left) and Uchechi Egeonuigwe (track & field, far right) accept Outstanding Affiliate award at The BACCHUS Network’s 2006 National Conference in Anaheim, CA.


tors (SAMs) are committed to displaying a positive image to fellow athletes by providing help and support through education, awareness, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. By utilizing comprehensive training and refined leadership skills, these dedicated student-athletes translate their own knowledge and passion into being a powerful influence and resource for their peers. While their primary objective is to prevent harmful situations from occurring, they are also equipped with the skills necessary to recognize areas of concern and to take action by involving the appropriate resources to address the problem.

Through awareness campaigns, educational work-shops and speakers and informal interaction with their fellow student-athletes, they combine an ideal mix of education, peer influence, and role modeling to have a positive impact on their peers and the campus com-munity. They have also taken this responsibility into the local community and around the country with active roles in community programming efforts as well as regional and national conferences. It is no coincidence that each UCR participant in the NCAA Foundation’s annual Leadership Conference has taken an active lead-ership role in the Student-Athlete Mentors program.

The group is open to any student-athlete who wants to take on this leadership role. Members complete an application process that includes a written application and panel interview, which ensures that applicants truly understand and appreciate the commitment and dedica-tion this important role requires.

Student-Athlete Advisory CouncilUC Riverside’s Student-Athlete Advisory Council

(SAAC) is comprised of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations, and polices that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

An association-wide SAAC was adopted at the 1989 NCAA Convention and was formed primarily to review and offer student-athlete input on NCAA activities and proposed legislation that affected student-athlete wel-fare. In August 1997, the NCAA federated along divi-sional lines. The federation caused the SAAC to expand to three SAACs representing NCAA Divisions I, II and III. The mission statement of the National SAAC is “to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promot-ing opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image.”

NCAA legislation mandates that all member institu-tions have SAACs on their respective campuses. Further, NCAA legislation requires that all member conferences have SAACs. UC Riverside’s SAAC team consists of two representatives from each sport program. In addition to their normal duties, they have been involved with several charitable events, including Adopt-A-Family at Christmas and the Special Olym-pics.

As part of the “Get 60” program, UCR student athletes taught physical education to area children

Alcohol Awareness Week helped the campus community learn about alcohol abuse and subjects such as drunk driving.

UCR student-athletes staffed a table in the dining commons during Sexual Responsibility Week.

Before the ninth grade, you become a prospective student-athlete if a college gives you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the college does not provide to prospective students gener-ally. You become a “recruited prospective student-athlete” at a particular college if any coach approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches that cause you to become a recruited prospective student-athlete are: (1) providing you with an official visit; (2) placing more than one telephone call to you or any other member of your family; (3) visiting you or any other member of your family anywhere other than the college campus; or (4) issuing a National Letter of Intent or the institution’s written offer of athletically related financial aid to you.

When may coaches talk to me and watch me play?There are many specific NCAA rules which dictate when

a coach may talk to you or watch you play. These rules vary depending on the sport, and the time of year. Often, calls are limited to a certain month, or to certain times every month. To get more information on what these rules are and which ones apply to you, please visit ncaa.org, or contact Michael Scarano at [email protected].

What about making off-campus contact?A contact is any face-to-face meeting between a college

coach or athletics staff member and you or your parents, during which any of you say more than “hello.” Also, any such face-to-face meeting that is prearranged or that takes place on your campus, at an organized competition or practice involving you or your high school, preparatory school, two-year college or all-star team shall be considered a contact, regardless of the conversation. Cur-rently in all sports other than football, college coaches may contact you off the college campus no more than three times. However, a college coach may visit your high school (with the approval of your high school principal) only once a week during a contact period.

What are evaluations?An evaluation is any

off-campus activity used to assess your academic qualifications or athletics ability, including a visit to

your high school (during which no contact occurs) or watching you practice or compete at any site. Currently in all sports other than football and basketball, a college coach is limited to seven opportunities (contacts and evaluations combined) to recruit you and not more than three of the seven opportunities may be contacts. In basketball, coaches have a limit of five opportunities with which to recruit you (contact and evalua-tions combined) off the college campus. Not more than three of those five opportunities may be contacts. Once you sign a National Letter of Intent, you may be evaluated an unlimited number of times by a college coach from the college with which you have signed.

When can coaches send me letters and e-mails? In sports other than men’s basketball, a member institution

may not provide recruiting materials to a prospect (including general correspondence related to athletics) until Septem-ber 1 at the beginning of the prospect’s junior year in high school. In the sport of men’s basketball, an institution may not provide recruiting materials to a prospect (including general correspondence related to athletics) until the conclusion of the prospect’s sophomore year in high school.

Are there rules for boosters?In addition to general recruiting regulations, no alumni,

boosters or representatives of a college’s athletics interests can be involved in your recruitment. There may be no phone calls or letters from boosters. If a UCR booster is contacting you, please contact the UCR Compliance Office as soon as possible at [email protected]

I have a question that isn’t addressed here. Can you answer it?

Of course! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Michael Scarano via e-mail at [email protected]. Good luck and go Highlanders!!!

Life On CampusOn-campus living is an enriching part of

the education experience. It allows students to become a part of the college community, providing an environment conducive to academic, as well as social, cultural, and personal growth.

A recent survey showed that students who live in the residence halls during their first year in college achieve a higher level of aca-demic success.

The housing system also features Cam-pus Apartments and Family Housing. Each format, as well as the individual complexes within the formats, exhibits its own unique flavor and advantages. Residential life pro-vides a living environment close to campus, student development, educational, social, cultural and recreational programs, counsel-ing and guidance services; supportive study environments, job and leadership opportuni-ties, as well as wheelchair accessibility and convenient facilities for disabled students.

Students who plan to live in apartments or homes near the campus will find reasonably priced and readily available accommodations. In fact, the University of California Students Association found both on- and off-campus housing to be more affordable at Riverside than at any other University of California campus.

Inside UCR Housing3 Number of co-educational Residence Hall communities at UCR: Aberdeen-Inverness (A-I), which houses 900 students, Lothian (1,000 students), and Pentland Hills (1,130 students). 25 Percentage of UC Riverside students who live on campus in on-campus housing. This includes 30% of our undergraduate students and 5% of our graduate students. 80 Percentage of new freshman and transfer students who live in the residence halls. The first year is critical and the residence halls offer programs to help the new UCR student succeed and excel. 75 Percentage of UC Riverside students who live off campus. Of those living off campus, 25 percent commute from their parents’ home and 50 percent live within three to five miles of campus. 4,520 Total number of undergraduates housed in UCR’s Residence Halls.

UC Riverside currently guarantees housing for one year for all freshmen and transfer students who comply with housing deadlines and requirements.


Riverside, CaliforniaA Great Place To Live, Work, And Play

Located in the heart of the Inland Empire, the City of Riverside is situated in the Santa Ana River Valley, approximately 60 miles east of Los Angeles and 100 miles north of San Diego. The city offers a rich mix of recreational opportunities and cultural attractions and is also within an hour’s drive of Southern California beaches, mountain ski resorts, and desert parks and preserves. The area enjoys a year-round temperate climate and an exceptional quality of life with its diversity, architectural beauty, cultural art museums, quality housing, and wide variety of recreational opportunities.

Riverside is a pleasant oasis in the inland region of Southern California. Its “Mediterra-nean image” derives from the many examples of fine architecture in the California Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial styles that dot its landscape, including the world famous Mission Inn Hotel in downtown Riverside.

Founded in 1870 by John North and a group of Easterners who wished to establish a colony dedicated to furthering education and culture, Riverside was built on land that was once a Spanish rancho. Investors from England and Canada transplanted traditions and activities adopted by prosperous citizens; the first golf course and polo field in South-ern California were built in Riverside.

The first orange trees were planted in 1871, but the citrus industry Riverside is famous for began two years later when Eliza Tibbets received two Brazilian navel orange trees sent to her by a friend at the Department of

Agriculture in Washington. The trees thrived in the Southern California climate and the navel orange industry grew rapidly. Within a few years, the successful cultivation of the newly discovered navel orange led to a California Gold Rush of a different kind: the establishment of the citrus industry.

By 1882, there were more than half a mil-lion citrus trees in California, almost half of which were in Riverside. The development of refrigerated railroad cars and innovative ir-rigation systems established Riverside as the wealthiest city per capita by 1895.

Today, the city is a vibrant, culturally diverse center of commerce, finance, indus-try, and education in the Inland Empire with a population of more than 294,000. It has libraries, art and history museums, theaters, concert venues, a convention center, fine restaurants, quaint shops, modern shopping malls, and a wide variety of sports and other


Living The “SoCal” Life

Climate Riverside enjoys a Mediterranean-type climate: warm to hot, rain-less sum-mers and mild winters with light rainfall. For the most part, the city offers dry air with a minimum of fog and rain. Summer daytime highs are frequent-ly more than 90 degrees but evening temperatures drop greatly, ranging from 50 to 65 degrees and are accompanied by cool desert or marine breezes. Low humidity keeps even the hottest summer days from being overly oppressive, especially in comparison with eastern climates.

recreation activities that make living here comfortable and fun. Its people reflect the same cultural and ethnic diversity found throughout Southern California, giving the city a rich, cosmopolitan feel. The city has over 96,000 trees, prompting the receipt of a Tree City, USA Award. Over 100 City Landmarks, 20 National Register Sites and 2 National Landmarks have been designated by the City Council, all offering enjoyment and education to city residents and visitors.

Riverside County, with a population of over 1.5 million people, borders densely populated Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and San Bernardino counties. The county was formed in 1893 from almost 7,200 square miles of fertile river valleys, low deserts, mountains,

foothills, and rolling plains, that extend from within 14 miles of the Pacific Ocean to the Colorado River.

Southern CaliforniaSince World War II, Southern California

has been a “go-to” destination for everyone from vacationers looking for the warm sun and beautiful weather to people looking to chase their dreams in the Golden State.

And what is not to love? From the moun-tains to the sea, all of Southern California has something to offer to everyone. It features diversity in all things: people, places, recre-ation and entertainment, academia, art, and neighborhoods.

UC Riverside is located in the “Inland Em-pire,” a region that consists of both Riverside and San Bernardino counties. In recent years it has become one of the fastest growing and most vibrant and diverse areas in the nation. Once home to dairy farms, citrus groves and vineyards, the “IE” stretches some 27,363 square miles from the outskirts of Los Ange-les to the Arizona and Nevada borders.

You name it, you can find it here. From the numerous golf courses and spa resorts of Palm Springs, the ski slopes of Big Bear Mountain, the water-skiing havens of Lake Elsinore and Lake Havasu, the Inland Empire is a year-round paradise for outdoor activity lovers. The San Bernardino National For-est and Joshua Tree National Monuments provide a multitude of wildlife to the region while the Salton Sea is one of the most dy-namic ecological studies on the West Coast. And if it isn’t in the Inland Empire, it is not far away. Southern California’s finest beaches and many exciting destinations are just an hour or so away.

When UC Riverside opened in February 1954, it had classrooms, a new Physical Education Building, and a student body eager to inau-gurate the new school. What it didn’t have, however, was a mascot.

The controversy raged throughout the opening weeks of that inaugural school year as different factions argued over what symbol should represent the newest UC school. Many wanted a bear symbol that could compete with the Bruins of UCLA and the Bears of Berke-ley, while others wanted to go in a completely different direction, demonstrating the independence and uniqueness of the school.

A total of 67 nicknames were initially suggested by the student body. The names ran the gamut, from the wild (Bearcats, Rams, Bisons, Badgers, Gorillas) to the uninspired (Rovers, Ramblers, Possums, Chihuahuas, Valencias). There were colorful names (Red Raiders, Golden Eagles, Bluejays, Golden Beavers, Orangemen), names befitting the area’s heritage and environment (Caballeros, Friars, Vaqueros, Rattlers, Scorpions, Pioneers) and names that were, frankly, just weird (Aphids, Rocks, Bondsmen).

An election in November 1954 saw none of the proposed six nick-names receive a majority. While “Cubs” was the most popular of the six, many rallied against it because it showed the campus as a “little brother” to schools like UCLA and Cal. A write-in campaign, led by the men’s basketball team, was begun for the name “Hylanders,” a name suggested by freshman Donna Lewis. The name was changed to its current spelling and won easily. In recognition of her contribution to the university, Lewis received a lifetime pass to all athletic events.

“Highlanders” fit the campus well for several reasons. The Box Springs Mountains, which stand behind the campus, were known as the High-lands. In addition, UCR is the highest elevation campus in the UC System.

The name proved to be a solid compromise. UCR Publicity Direc-tor Howard Cook had a friend create an aggressive little bear wearing a kilt for the school’s logo, and the campus took on a Scottish flare as buildings were named after Scottish regions. There was a brief uproar in 1988 when the athletics department proposed changing the mascot to a human figure in a kilt, a plan that was quickly scrapped.

But change was inevitable, and it occurred after the 1998 passing of the referendum that approved the move to Division I. Much as they had done years earlier, student-athletes took the lead, approaching the administration and saying that they “didn’t want a teddy bear in a dress” to represent them.

The change took time, money and input from New York based SME Design, Inc., a logo development company. Several logos were designed, including the current one with a bear featuring a half-blue face in homage to William Wallace, the Scottish hero and the subject of the movie Braveheart.

Every school in the University of California System has some combination of blue and gold as their school colors. The colors were selected for thlandscape, the student cadet uniforms and the number of Yale graduates who were instrumental in the founding and administration of the university. Gold was considered because of California’s designation as the Golden State and the color of many native wildflowers, such as the California Golden Poppy. Unable to decide between the two, the committee asked their female classmates to decide. Student Rebekah Bragg Cummings suggested using both colors, and the committee agreed.

Why Blue & Gold?


UCR Soccer StadiumRefurbished in 2007

The UC Riverside men’s and women’s soccer teams play their home games at the UCR Soccer Stadium located at the Lower Fields be-tween the UCR Track and Physical Education building. The stadium seats 2,000 people along the western sideline, opposite the team benches.

The field was renovated in the summer of 2007, with a new “Tiger Turf” field installed. On August 28, 2007 the University of California Riverside officially dedicated the new TigerTurf field. The new artifi-cial surface allows both the men’s and women’s soccer teams to prac-tice and play on the same field all season long. Unlike a grass field the TigerTurf surface needs no rest between competitions.

A state-of-the-art scoreboard was added to the facility in the spring of 2008. In addition, improvements to the lighting at the stadium enables both men’s and women’s soccer programs to host night games. The first such game for the women’s team comes pm Friday, September 5 against Sacramento State.

The fields were the original home of the Highlander men’s soccer team during its first incarnation from the 1950s to the early 1980s as well as the original home of the Highlanders’ baseball team.
