While the Cardinal has won the pastfive consecutive conference champi-

onships and compiled an impressive 46-4record in league play during this time, for third-year head coach Michele Uhlfelder, making a markon the national landscape is the next step in buildingthe Stanford lacrosse program.

And 2003 may be the year Stanford takes that step.“We took a big step last year toward our goal,” said Uhlfelder,

who is 24-12 overall and a perfect 18-0 combined in the WesternWomen’s and Mountain Pacific Lacrosse Leagues in her two sea-sons at Stanford. “In 2002 we steadily improved over the courseof a schedule that was significantly tougher, and with a teamwho was significantly younger.” In 2001, the Cardinal was thefirst team in the west to break into the top-20. “That was veryexciting and it was a good indicator of what we’re capable of,”said Uhlfelder, “but we were not able to sustain it throughout theyear as we got deeper into our schedule against some of the topnational programs.”

However in 2003, Uhlfelder may havethe ingredients to compete against thosevery same national opponents. TheCardinal returns 15 letter-winners fromlast year’s team that went 11-7 overalland 10-0 in the Mountain PacificLacrosse League (MPLL.)

“In terms of moving the program for-ward, last year’s team made greatstrides,” said Uhlfelder. “I see this year astaking another big step. What is signifi-cant is that we’ve had a lot of youngplayers play a lot of important minutes,and this year will continue that theme.”With that game experience and national

exposure against the top pro-grams, the 2003 team is pre-

pared to continue to buildthe program.

“I look for our team to be more mature andseasoned,” she said. “Although we are still veryyoung, we’re much further along this year thanwe were at the same point last year. We areexcited about what this team has the poten-tial to accomplish, given the opportunitiesthat our schedule affords us. Each team willbe instrumental in helping reach our goals,which go beyond rankings and scores. We’relooking to accomplish a lot that the scoreboard

doesn’t measure, and we’re excited for the chal-lenge,” said Uhlfelder.

The Next StepThe Cardinal returns experienced players at every

position, including its top four scorers off last year’steam, a solid defensive core, an experienced goalkeeper, atalented group of young attackers and midfielders. “Thedefensive unit is the most experienced part of our team,”says Uhlfelder. “Most of those players have played every

minute of every game since their freshman year so theyhave a lot of on-the-job-training. They will be goodteachers to the newcomers.” At the midfield positions,Stanford again has a group of young, but experiencedplayers. “We’re excited about this part of our team,”says Uhlfelder. “Last year, we asked them to be thehorses as freshman, and that’s hard given the schedulewe play. This year, they’re coming in with a lot more

confidence and understanding of how to use theirspeed. We’re looking for the fast break to be more

of a factor in our scoring. The midfielders willhave a big role in helping us get to where fastbreaks account for three-quarters of our scor-ing,” she said. At the attack position,

Uhlfelder says the team goals are toimprove shooting percentage and the

ability to get in positions to score.“The chemistry on offense has

improved,” she said, “and weneed it to improve even moreto run our motions. We willlook to be more dynamic in

using our stickwork in tight, and more aggressive in our moves.”Stanford has three quality goalkeepers, including last year’sstarter, who will compete for the starting assignment in 2003. “Iexpect all three goalies to play and challenge each other,”Uhlfelder said. “The opportunity is there and they are all com-petitive. Each of them possesses unique skills, but they all willbe looked at to be defensive leaders and create things outside of

the crease.”

Returning StarsThe Cardinal returns 15 letter-win-

ners off last year’s team, including eightwho played in all 18 games a year ago.Leading the charge are 2003 co-captainsKim Cahill and Larissa Conte. Cahill, a5-6 senior from Stockton, Calif. has notplayed the past two years due to kneeinjuries, but her presence on the 2003club provides leadership and a qualityplayer on the attack. “Kim has seen alot of lacrosse…she is coming into herown and settling into the game. Welook forward to her finding her comfortzone on the field so that she can be theimpact that we think she is,” said

Uhlfelder.Conte is one of the team’s defensive anchors. A junior from

Bethesda, Maryland, she has played in all 36 games the past twoyears, starting 35, and proven to be one of the team’s best ondefensive organizers. “Larissa is very passionate about this team,and has great leadership qualities. Like our other defenders, shehas been put in the position to mark some of the country’s bestattackers—this experience will be invaluable,” said Uhlfelder.

Sophomore Kelsey Twist turned in an outstanding freshmanseason a year ago and is expected to be one of the team’s leadersat the midfield position. She started all 18 games last season andled the team in goals (36), points (48), free-positions (17) anddraw controls (41) - all numbers that rank among the best singleseasons in school history. Junior Abbi Hills is another midfielderwho has started all 36 games the past two seasons and is amongthe school’s all-time leaders in virtually every category. She hasscored 53 goals and accounted for 67 points in 2001 and ‘02.She is among the school’s top-10 all-time in goals scored, free-positions, shots, draw controls, assists, caused turnovers andgames played.

The attack will be led by the Calzonetti twins - Julia andClaire - and junior Jess Scott. Julia Calzonetti started all 18games as a freshman a year ago, led the team with 75 shots andwas second in total points (36) and third in goals scored (28).Her twin sister, Claire, was the team leader with 13 assists andfourth with 34 points, which included 21 goals. Scott, a leaderduring the fall season, also started all 18 in 2002, finishing with17 goals, six assists and 23 points.

Sophomores Nina Pantano and Anthea Tjuanakis, along withConte and fellow junior Katie Grube, will form the nucleus ofStanford’s defensive unit. Pantano, from Wayne, Penn., startedevery game last year as a freshman. She was second on the clubwith 29 goals, third with 35 points and second with 73 shots ongoal. Tjuanakis also started all 18 games in ‘02 and enters the2003 season as one of the team’s toughest defenders. Grube willtransition from studying abroad this fall to marking some of thecountry’s best attackers this season.

New Coaches/New PlayersStanford Lacrosse’s new look for 2003 is due in part to the

addition of a new assistant coach and eight freshmen.The program made history this September by adding a third

World Cup player to it’s coaching staff as Jo Connolly joinedhead coach Michele Uhlfelder and assistant coach QuinnCarney. No other collegiate program can boast three formerWorld Cup players on its staff. Uhlfelder, Connelly, and Carneycanvassed the field and helped the U.S. team bring home thegold medal in the 2001 World Cup in England from their attack,defense, and midfield positions, respectively. In the title game,Carney led all scorers with 3goals, Uhlfelder notched 2 goals,and Connelly gained possessionof key draws and ground ballswhile marking Australia’s bestattackers. “There’s nothing that saysby virtue of being a great player, thatyou’re a great coach or teacher,” said Uhlfelder.“But in this case, I think we all are. We are differentin our style, different in our approach and different inour experience, but we will be really effective in helpingteach our players from a player’s mentality,” she said.

One of the overall goals for the experienced staff isto teach young players how to play beyond their expe-rience level. Uhlfelder comments, “Young players inthis country should be making more of an impact,and older players should be reaching new levels ofathleticism. In a nutshell, I think older playersshould be rewriting the record books, whileyoung players should be developing more rap-idly in the collegiate game.” In a programcomprised of three quarters freshman andsophomores, the Cardinal coaching staff willhave tremendous opportunity to help theCard youth reach new levels of leadership,impact, and athleticism.

Along with the change in staff, theteam also welcomes eight new players,poised to transition to the college game.Leading the freshman class is MeganBurker from Byrn Mawr School inBaltimore. Burker was a prep All-America lastyear and figures to play a prominent role in the Cardinal’s attackthis season. Burker is joined by fellow prep All-America GK KateHorowitz (Lakeland HS/Yorktown Heights, NY), and highschool standouts D Kinsey Morrison (Roland ParkHS/Baltimore, MD), MF Cassie Harvey (Roland ParkHS/Baltimore, MD), D Nyerr Parham (Bryn Mawr

School/Owings Mills, MD),A Sarah Bach (Seton KeoughHS/Baltimore, MD), and DThea Lorentzen (GreenwichHS/Greenwich, CT).Uhlfelder says, “This fresh-man class brings a lot of ath-leticism, talent, and depth asa whole. They are extremelyexcited about taking theirgames to the next level, andabout the opportunity toimpact this program. Wewill look to Ny, Kinsey, andThea to step into big defen-sive roles as well as Kate ingoal…Megan and Sarah will provide offensive spark, and Cassiewill be a fresh flash in the midfield.

ScheduleThe Cardinal has put together a 16-game regular season

schedule that includes seven teams that competed in the NCAATournament a year ago. Building the schedule with national-cal-iber opponents has been Uhlfelder’s goal since her arrival onThe Farm. “We’ve been successful in scheduling some of the topteams in the country,” she said.

“Our first year, we were trying to lay a foundation and get onthe map. Now, our goal is to make an impact on the nationallevel. This schedule gives us the opportunities we need to get tothe NCAA Tournament.” Stanford’s 2003 schedule includesNCAA Tournament teams: Ohio State, Georgetown, Duke,Maryland-Baltimore County, Notre Dame, Loyola and Cornell.

In addition, Stanford will enter as the undefeateddefending Mountain Pacific League Champion. “Ifeel good about the competition that our leagueposes, because everyone is always gunning for us,

and it teaches our players to approach everygame the same way. It helps us prepare for a

championship format as well as learn howto handle the pressure of being the topdog,” said Uhlfelder. While the Mountain

Pacific League currently does not have anautomatic bid to the NCAA tournament, the

league’s power rating ranks ahead of several confer-ences that currently have bids.

Stanford will host three tournaments that highlightthe schedule in 2003. On March 9th, Stanford will playGeorgetown in the 2nd Annual East/West Challenge,sponsored by deBeer. The game will showcase some ofthe best lacrosse that comes to town. It is promoted asa “fans in the stands” game, at which attendance

records stand to be broken and the masses will have theopportunity to see the speed and athleticism for which

lacrosse is known . On April 4-6 The Cardinal will runthe Western States Tournament for the second consecutive

year, where upwards of 50 high school and collegiate clubteams will compete for the Western States title. Last year’stitle sponsor was Sports Her Way out of Baltimore. Stanfordwill conclude the regular season by hosting the MountainPacific Lacrosse League championships on May 3-4 in

Maloney Stadium. “I don’t think many people are aware of thenumber of lacrosse programs on this coast,” said Uhlfelder. “Forus, playing host to all these programs and featured games sup-ports our mission to help market the game and educate peopleabout lacrosse. We hope teams and fans have a great experienceon our campus, especially with a fast paced, high scoring, athlet-ic game like lacrosse.”

Michele Uhlfelder enters her third season as head coach ofthe Stanford women’s lacrosse team, having guided the

program on a very successful journey thus far. The transitionthat has taken place since her arrival on the Farm in 2000 hasbeen impressive. In her first season, the 2001 team of hard

working yet virtual unknowns earned the distinction of being the first west coast pro-gram to break into the top 20, and went undefeated in the league. Since then, Uhlfelderhas gone on to recruit some of the top players and coaches in the country, as well asbuild a national schedule, and give the Cardinal the opportunities necessary toprepare themselves for the NCAA tournament. Notably, Uhlfelder’s staffmade history this year as the first lacrosse program ever to boast threeWorld Cup players as coaches.

In 2001, Uhlfelder came off of a highlight year as a player as well.After earning a spot on the sixteen member USA Women’s NationalTeam, she helped the team win the gold medal at the 2001 WorldCup in England as a starter in all seven matches. She was thethird highest scorer on the American team, ranking sixth amongall scorers at the World Cup, and contributing two goals in the14-8 win over Australia in the title game.

Uhlfelder’s experiences as a coach and a player have takenher around the world and to many distinguished athletic uni-versities. During her seven-year experience as a Division Iassistant, Uhlfelder worked for the best and the brightest.Before coming to Stanford, she was the assistant/associatecoach at Duke University from 1998-2000, making a FinalFour appearance, coaching 6 All-Americans, and reaching thetop ten each year. Prior to that, she was an assistant at OldDominion University (1994-1998), under National Teamcoach Sue Stahl. During her tenure there, the program wonits first conference championship (1995) in the ColonialAthletic Association.

As a player, Uhlfelder has participated in the game at thehighest collegiate and international levels. A four year starter(1987-1991) and captain her senior year at the University ofMaryland, she helped lead the Terrapins to NationalRunner-Up finishes in 1990 and 1991. During that time,she was selected to the National Championship AllTournament Team twice, and as a senior, was named FirstTeam All-America and the 1991 National Offensive Player ofthe Year. In her junior year she was first selected to the U.S.Lacrosse Squad, playing for the first time internationally, as amember of the Under 23 team in 1990. Uhlfelder had been amember of the U.S. Team until a year and a half ago, culminat-ing in the World Cup Championship in the summer of 2001.Her first World Cup appearance came in 1997 (Edogawa,Japan) where the U.S. won the gold and she earned Player-of-the-Match honors versusCanada. Other international competition includes her selection to the1996 and 2000 “A”Tours to Great Britain and Australia, respectively.

“I have always tried to keep my eyes wide open and learn from the many fortunatepositions that I’ve been in as a player and coach,” said Uhlfelder. “I have played withincredibly talented teammates, and coached with people who have been considered thetop in our field. Each opportunity has helped me define my own style and given me theexperience necessary to lead a staff, a team, and a program with very ambitious goals.”

For Uhlfelder, leading the way toward these ambitious goals has meant a focus onnational scheduling and recruiting. “Right away, we were going head to head in recruit-ing with some of the most established and most successful teams in the country,” saidUhlfelder. “To me, this is an indication that the pioneer spirit is alive and well in thiscountry, and that people realize what an incredible opportunity Stanford is.”

When Uhlfelder was hired, the program shifted goals from being the best in the west,to competing for the national spotlight. “From the beginning, I feel like we hit the pave-ment running,” said Uhlfelder. “With the athletic department’s commitment and ourvision, we have always had our eyes set on being a tournament team.” To do this it wascrucial to lay a solid foundation from the start. Uhlfelder explains, “Laying the founda-tion has always been about scheduling and recruiting nationally, growing and marketingthe game locally, teaching the game at the highest level, and providing the best possibleacademic and athletic environment possible.”

In terms of scheduling, the Cardinal has the opportunity to play many of the topteams in the country this year, hosting as many home games as anyone inDivision I. “Many schools have recognized that a big name match up withStanford is a great opportunity for our schools and for the growth of thegame…this has led to the chance for us to host a tough national schedule,”said Uhlfelder.

For Uhlfelder and for her players and staff, coming to Stanford embod-ies the pioneer spirit that historically brought people west for opportuni-

ty. She describes Stanford’s program as a “gold mine.” It didn’ttake her or others long to realize that Stanford has a very spe-cial package to offer. “Our players have the opportunity tobuild a nationally prominent program and a chance to havean early leadership role, at one of the most visible, academi-

cally challenging, beautiful, and athletically dominant univer-sities in the country.”

With this package comes the opportunity to impact thegrowth of the sport and to teach, market, and promote thegame here and across the country. “Lacrosse is a natural fit fora school like Stanford,” commented Uhlfelder. When Uhlfeldercame to Stanford, she knew that there was more than just build-

ing a nationally competitive team at hand…there was an oppor-tunity to help build the sport. Her practice in this role comes

from serving as a past vice president of the USWLA, as a recent USLacrosse board member, and as a U.S. team player. She says, “early on

I was introduced to the idea of serving as an ambassador of the sport,knowing that through lacrosse we can make even this country a small-er place.” By virtue of Uhlfelder’s experience this is one of the pro-gram’s missions. “At Stanford, I have the opportunity to weave togeth-er how much I care about our sport’s growth, with how much I desireto raise the bar…with how much I want people to have the opportu-nity to see and play lacrosse.”

The opportunity for people to see the game at the highest level willcome during the regular season, as Stanford hosts four NCAA tourna-

ment teams that they have never scheduled before. Uhlfelder explains,“our schedule has become exponentially more difficult, and we look

forward to sharing these opportunities with a community that seemsvery excited about the pace and athleticism of our game. People leave

our games saying, ‘those women are really athletic…how do they do thatwith those sticks?’”

Uhlfelder started the deBeer East/West Challenge in 2001 as a “fans-in-the-stands”event to showcase the game and bring in top talent. This is one of the Card’s most pro-moted and marketed events, aiming to break attendance records by bringing 1,000 peo-ple to the game vs. Georgetown on March 9th. Beside the East/West Challenge,Uhlfelder has committed the program to being one of sixteen host sites for the USNational Clinic Day in February, as well as the Sports her Way Western StatesTournament in April.

Uhlfelder was also responsible for bringing the Cardinal’s equipment sponsor, deBeer,on board last year, in an effort to provide the team with some of the most innovativeequipment on the market, as well as promote the company’s desire to expand westward.“deBeer came along at the right time, and presented us with a package that providedsupport for our goals and initiatives, and a belief in our program. There are many simi-larities between our program and their company…basically they came out of nowhereand became a prominent leader in the market. We share those ambitious goals,” saidUhlfelder.

Recently, Uhlfelder presented talks at both the USLacrosse Convention and at theCalifornia Lacrosse Convention. In addition, she has stayed involved with last year’s ini-tiatives, including becoming a member of the Positive Coaching Alliance’s AdvisoryBoard, a member of the IWLCA South Regional Advisory Committee, and a member ofthe IWLCA’s Rules committee. Also, this summer she served as a selector for the U19World Cup team.

Uhlfelder, 33, earned a master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Old DominionUniversity. She currently resides in Menlo Park.

Uhlfelder helps the US to a 14-8 win over Australia in the 2001 World Cup.

Quinn Carney returns for her second seasonwith the Stanford coaching staff after helping

the Cardinal to their second consecutive undefeatedleague championship last year. While being

involved in almost every aspect of the program, Carney also ran the USNational Clinic Day, as Stanford was chosen to be one of 16 host sites inthe country.

Carney came to the program in 2002 after an incredibly successfullacrosse career at the University of Maryland. A two-time All-Americaand All-ACC player, she was a four-year starter for the seven-year consec-utive National Champion Terrapins. In addition, she is currently a mem-ber of the U.S. Team and has been, since being selected to the 2001 WorldCup Team. She helped lead the US to victory over Australia and was sub-

sequently featuredin SportsIllustrated’s “Face’sin the Crowd,”column, whichhighlighted herstellar perform-ance for the U.S.Team duringWorld Cup play.

The youngest player on theUS team, Carney was namedPlayer of the Match twice,against Wales and Canada andscored 13 goals during the six-game tournament.

“Quinn is a great additionto our staff and a great fit, interms of the ambitious goalsof our program,” commentedUhlfelder. “She has workedhard to establish herself earlyon as one of the premier play-ers in the world, and brings usthe experience of both aNational Champion and aWorld Champion. Above all,we are excited about Quinn’slevel of knowledge and enthu-siasm for teaching the game.”

Tiffany Chao, Junior: For me, Stanford’s appeal is like thestory of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Everything is just right. Our school

is not too small that you see the same people all the time, but also not too big that you feellost. It is just right. My fellow students are brilliant and talented and accomplished, but still down-

to-earth and humble. They are just right. Coursework is difficult and challenging, but there are many places toturn to for help. It is just right. People know how to have fun in the present, and enjoy our gorgeous campus and cli-

mate, but also know when they need to work hard and lay down the paths for their future. They are just right. Everything aboutStanford suits me well, and this comfortable fit makes our university not only “just right,” but incredible.

Nina Pantano, sophomore: This lacrosse team is very special to me because it is mysecond family. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful support unit of teammates and

coaches that I can turn to for anything.

Julia Calzonetti, sophomore: I value most the people at Stanford. Everybody is happy, inter-esting and interested, enthusiastic and fun. Stanford is one of the only places I have come across

that spends so much time on making sure everybody is active and happy socially. Whether it is adorm trip to San Francisco or Lake Tahoe, dorm games or even dorm social events, Stanford does

its best to make sure that everybody is having fun.

Kate Horowitz, freshman: Before leaving to go home for winter break, I thought that I’d have anecstatic sense of freedom, but instead I felt really sad. For a whole month I won’t get to be here! For

a whole month I won’t see the people in my dorm or the girls on my team. For a whole month I won’tbe in the weight room with my friends or on the field with my new sisters. The incredible thing about

Stanford is that in the span of two short months it has found its way into my heart and become my newhome.

Anthea Tjuanakis, Sophomore: Putting on my Stanford uniform I am transformed. My chest swells, I growseveral inches taller, I am stronger and faster. It’s not the stuff of super powers, just my understanding of

what it means to be a Stanford athlete. It’s an unequivocal experience. On the surface lie the national cham-pionships, eight consecutive Sear’s Cups, and training along side Olympians, but more importantly is the

camaraderie and shared pursuit of athletic excellence. The determination to push one’s self and one’s sportbeyond popular expectation is infectious here. Stanford athletes are not a separate entity, but physical reflec-

tions of the attitude of the university as a whole.Stepping onto to the field or riding my bike to class with the sun on my back (even in the dead of winter, hooray

California!) I find myself breaking into an involuntary grin. That’s when you know you are really happy…uncon-trollable smiles.

Claire Calzonetti, sophomore: Being a student athlete at Stanford is being more than just being a “student” and an“athlete.” The work ethic and dedication in the classroom and the field extends to all aspects of life. Being a studentathlete at Stanford is a constant reminder of the hard work and effort that got me here and will get me to wherever else I choose to go.

Kelsey Twist, sophomore: Stanford is a truly happy place. While that may seem like an ele-mentary statement, it’s true. As you walk around campus, strangers smile at one another, holddoors, and are generally friendly. One can sense that people truly enjoy being here and don’ttake their time here for granted. Because of its people, there is no place like Stanford. I livewith an all-America candidate basketball player and an Olympic-bound swimmer. In my halllives a student who gets paid 5 figures each summer to program computers for Macintosh,another who is building a solar car, another who leads an award winning a cappella group. Ihave friends from all over the country and all over the world... My advisor is considered oneof highest authorities on African American history in the entire world. I am humbled every-day by people’s desire to grow and by the accomplishments of the people I live, work and playwith. At the same time, these people are some of my greatest friends, who laugh and joke andeat and sleep just like me. I have learned even the greatest accomplishments are made by nor-mal people who posses a passion for them. I belong at Stanford because I have a desire togrown in several aspects of my life and the will to work for it. That is all one needs to belonghere.

Christina Saikus, Junior: I have the opportunity in both academics and athletics to reach out-side my previously held comfort zone and see just how far I can get.

Thea Loretzen, freshman: I feel so lucky to play with such a dedicated group and be coachedby such inspiring people. When I joined the team, some of my teammates just said, “welcometo our family” and I could not be happier to be a part of it.

Sarah Bach, freshman: The more I read about Stanford, the less I could imagine there was amore perfect place to go to college. When I visited Stanford my senior year, I was somewhatworried it might not live up to the lofty expectations I had for it. But as soon as I set foot onthe campus, this fear dissolved. It was everything I had ever imagined- and more.

Nyerr Parham, freshman: I wanted to be able to experience a completely different culturefrom my hometown. I saw college as a chance to acquaint myself with new cities and their cul-tures for four years, and what better cities are there than Palo Alto and San Francisco? WhenI was looking at schools, I also wanted to stretch my own personal limits and be removed frommy comfort zone. Being away from home has definitely forced me to become more inde-pendent and to handle my personal business. I’ve only been here for about three months andI already feel like I’ve grown so much.

There is so much that I value about Stanford that I don’t even know where to begin. I valuethe overall diversity of the student body, not just as a statistic, but as something I can truly seewhen I walk around campus. I value the fact that we have the very best of everything on cam-pus- from academic resources, to coaches, to overall facilities. I value the beauty and generalfeel of the campus. Most days when I walk outside in the sun and blue sky I think to myself “Ican’t believe this is my school. It’s just a great place to be!

Megan Burker, freshman: Coming from the east coast, I don’t think I fully understood thegreatness that exists at Stanford. Now that I’m here, I feel like there’s endless possibility forgrowth and it’s so exciting! Everyday I meet athletes who have already met amazing marks intheir sport at such young ages. The atmosphere encourages greatness everywhere, and I valueso much the opportunity I have to play against the best in my sport and grow as an athleteevery time I step onto the field.

The way I feel that I belong at Stanford comes with how I now associate it as my home. Imean, of course it will always be different from the home that I share with my parents and mysister, but Stanford is the first home I have all to myself. I made it mine by settling into thecommunity by working hard in my classes, making new friends, getting along with my room-mate, and committing myself to athletics.

Cassie Harvey, freshman: Stanford is incredibly unique in its ability to offer the best of theboth worlds: it is one of the most academically prestigious institutes in the country and it hasalso been recognized for harboring the nation’s best athletic program for the past eight years.There are few other schools that combine these two facets so well. Being a student-athlete atStanford signifies, to me, a constant pursuit of excellence in one’s life. It symbolizes a drive toconstantly push yourself, and to be the best at everything you do.

I think there is a sense, among the players and the coaches that we are working towardsomething even larger than ourselves and contributing to the start of something great. Thisshared sense, this shared vision of what we are trying to accomplish, pervades our practice andplaying atmosphere. We are all bonded by this common goal and excited about the process itentails. As part of the process, everyday, we have the opportunity as players to learn from threeof the world’s best—our coaching staff in spires us through their example as well as by theirknowledge and love for the game. Every day, we try to push the game a little farther.

Virginia Solomon, senior: A lot of people talk about sports teams being a family, but I thinkthat the women’s lacrosse team is a bit different from a traditional family. It is a family andthen some. We are all here because we share certain values and goals and are committed tobringing the program to a level of national prominence. Most families love each other andsupport each other, but we add this sense of direction, drive, and desire that I don’t think theterm family connotes strongly enough.

This summer I received close to a thousand dollars to continue my photography project inAustralia, while I was there to play lacrosse. I got to intern with an internationally renownedand published professor in the University of Adeliade’s department of gender studies. Each ofthese things I did this summer are a direct result of the uniqueness of Stanford, as a sports andalso a learning institution that is committed to maximizing the experience of each one of itsundergraduates.

Stanford University

On October 1, 1891, the 465 new students who were on

hand for opening day ceremonies at Leland Stanford

Junior University greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusias-

tically, with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only that

morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-S-J-U! Stanford! Its wild and

spirited tone symbolized the excitement of this bold adven-

ture. As a pioneer faculty member recalled, “Hope was in

every heart, and the presiding spirit of freedom prompted us

to dare greatly.”

For the Stanford’s on that day, the university was the real-

ization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory of their

only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his six-

teenth birthday. Far from the nation’s center of culture and

unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new university drew

students from all over the country: many from California;

some who followed professors hired from other colleges and

universities; and some simply seeking adventure in the West.

Though there were many difficulties during the first months –

housing was inadequate, microscopes and books were late in

arriving from the East – the first year foretold greatness. As

Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of 1892, “Even our fond-

est hopes have been realized.”

The University at a Glance

Stanford University

Millions of volumes are housed in many libraries throughout the campus.

Ideas of “Practical Education”

Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families ofmodest means and had built their way up through a life ofhard work. So it was natural that their first thoughts were toestablish an institution where young men and women could“grapple successfully with the practicalities of life.” As theirthoughts matured, these ideas of “practical education”enlarged to the concept of producing cultured and useful cit-izens who were well-prepared for professional success.

More than one hundred years later, the university still enjoysthe original 8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fields,eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords’ gen-erous legacy, as well as the Quadrangle of “long corridors withtheir stately pillars” at the center of campus. It is still true, as thephilosopher William James said, during his stint as a visitingprofessor, that the climate is “so friendly ... that every morningwakes one fresh for new amounts of work.”

Current Perspectives

In other ways, the university has changed tremendously onits way to recognition as one of the world’s great universities.At the hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is anhour’s drive south of San Francisco and just a few miles northof the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and hightechnology firms largely spawned by the university’s facultyand graduates. On campus, students and faculty enjoy newlibraries, modern laboratories, sports facilities, and comfort-able residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as piecesfrom the Stanford Museum’s extensive collection of sculptureby Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, provid-ing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the StanfordMedical Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching,and patient care, scientists and physicians are searching foranswers to fundamental questions about health and disease.Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford’s Hopkins MarineStation on the Monterey Bay, scientists are working to betterunderstand the mechanisms of evolution, human develop-ment, and ecological systems.

The university is organized into seven schools: EarthSciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School ofBusiness, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addi-tion, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, pro-grams, and research laboratories – including the HooverInstitution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute forInternational Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center;and the Stanford Center for the Study of Families, Children andYouth – where faculty from a wide range of fields bring differ-ent perspectives to bear on issues and problems. Stanford’sOverseas Studies Program offers students in all fields remark-able opportunities for study abroad, with campuses in Paris,Kyoto, Santiago, Berlin, Oxford, Florence, and Moscow.

Stanford People

By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbersapproximately 1,700 – is one of the most distinguished in thenation. It includes 17 Nobel laureates, 4 Pulitzer Prize win-

ners, 21 National Medal of Science winners, 124 members ofthe National Academy of Sciences, 219 members of theAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences, 83 members of theNational Academy of Engineering, and 24 members of theNational Academy of Education. Yet beyond their array ofhonors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their com-mitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The greatmajority of professors teach undergraduates both in intro-ductory lecture classes and in small advanced seminars.

Currently 13,900 students, of which 6,500 are undergradu-ates, live and study on campus. About 40 percent come fromCalifornia, but all 50 states and approximately 100 countries arerepresented as well. Among undergraduates, 44 percent areAfrican American, Asian American, Hispanic or NativeAmerican. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is distin-guished. Approximately 10 students apply to Stanford for everyplace in the freshman class. Seventy-six Stanford students havebeen named Rhodes Scholars and 52 have been namedMarshall Scholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors planto attend graduate or professional schools. Stanford studentsalso shine in a tremendous array of activities outside the class-room – from student government to music, theater, and jour-nalism. Through the Haas Center for Public Service, studentsparticipate in dozens of community service activities, such astutoring programs for children in nearby East Palo Alto, theHunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic.

In the athletic arena, Stanford students have enjoyedtremendous success as well. Stanford fields teams in 34Division I varsity sports – equally divided between men’s andwomen’s teams. Of Stanford’s 93 national team titles, 43 havebeen captured since 1990, by far the most in the nation.Thirty-eight of Stanford’s athletes and coaches participated inthe 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, 49 competed in Atlanta atthe 1996 Games and 34 represented Stanford at the 2000Games in Sydney – by far the most of any university in thenation. Intramural and club sports are also popular; over1,000 students take part in the club sports program, while par-ticipation in the intramural program has reached 9,000, withmany students active in more than one sport.

Looking Ahead

In her address to the Board of Trustees, in 1904, JaneStanford said,“. . . Let us not be afraid to outgrow old thoughtsand ways, and dare to think on new lines as to the future of thework under our care.” Her thoughts echo in the words of for-mer Stanford President Gerhard Casper, who has said, “Thetrue university must reinvent itself every day . . . At Stanford,these are days of such reconsideration and fresh support forour fundamental tasks – teaching, learning, and research.”

Home of Champions.” Those are the bywords for the StanfordUniversity Athletic Department.

And for good reason. No athletic department in the countrycan boast of the kind of success that Stanford has accomplishedsince the 1980s. NCAA team champions. NCAA individualchampions. Olympic medalists. Stanford University athletes havebeen all over the world capturing championships.

The statistics speak for themselves: Stanford University haswon 66 NCAA team championships since 1980, the most in thenation; Cardinal athletes have won 43 NCAA championshipssince 1990 – again the most in the nation. Stanford has broughthome 19 NCAA championship trophies the past five years,including an unprecedented six NCAA team titles in 1996-97. In1991-92, Stanford athletes took home 29 individual NCAA titles– an NCAA record. Cardinal athletes won 21 individual champi-onships during the 1992-93 season, the second most in history.

Even more impressive is Stanford’s string of eight consecutiveSears Directors’ Cup titles (1995-02). The award honors thenation’s top overall athletic program and with eight straight #1finishes, it’s no wonder Stanford is considered the dominant ath-letic program in the nation.

Stanford captured its eighth straight SearsDirectors’ Cup in 2001-02 with 1499 points,

winning the honor by 388.5 points oversecond place Texas. The Cardinal won atotal of four NCAA team crowns withchampionships in women’s tennis and

women’s volleyball, as well as men’s andwomen’s water polo. The Cardinal added sec-

ond place national finishes in men’s cross country,men’s swimming and synchronized swimming. Atotal of 11 Stanford teams finished among thenation’s Top Five and 22 among the Top 10. The

Cardinal also picked up 18 individual NCAA titlesand 14 team conference championships.

In 2000-01, Stanford won an NCAA Team Championship inwomen’s tennis and had 15 teams finish in the top five national-ly. The Cardinal also had 20 teams place among the top 10 and 26among the top 25, to go along with 14 individual national cham-pions and 12 conference titles. Stanford finished with 1,359points in the Sears Directors’ Cup standings to easily outdistancerunner-up UCLA’s 1,138.

Stanford has now won at least one NCAA team championshipfor 26 straight years. Cardinal teams have also won four or moreNCAA team titles in a single year nine times, an NCAA best.

All totaled, Stanford has won 93 collegiate team titles (83NCAA championships) and 367 NCAA individual titles. Cardinalwomen have won an NCAA-best 29 team championships whilemen’s teams have captured 54 NCAA team titles, third best in thenation. Overall, Stanford’s 83 NCAA team championships ranksecond in the nation.

In the last 10 years (since 1992-93), Stanford has claimed 37national team championships and 34 NCAA team titles – the bestin the country.

In 1999-2000, Stanford won the Sears Director’s Cup by a widemargin for the sixth consecutive year. Stanford won team cham-pionships in men’s tennis – its 18th overall in that sport – andmen’s track and field while placing second nationally in six othersports (baseball, women’s volleyball, men’s water polo, synchro-nized swimming, women’s tennis and women’s golf).

In 1999-2000, Stanford’s football team won the Pacific-10Conference championship and played in the Rose Bowl for thefirst time in 28 years while the men’s basketball team earned a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, tied for the conference title, fin-ished 27-4 overall and held the nation’s No. 1 ranking during theseason. The Cardinal baseball team followed by sharing the Pac-10 crown and advancing to the College World Series, marking thefirst time in history that a school won Pac-10 championships infootball, men’s basketball and baseball in the same year.

Stanford has also enjoyed unequaled success in Olympic com-petition.

At the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia, StanfordUniversity was represented by a total of 34 athletes and coaches.The Cardinal contingent won a total of 10 medals - four gold,three silver and three bronze.

At the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Stanford again placed 49 coach-es and athletes on Olympic Teams, including three head UnitedStates Olympic coaches (Tara VanDerveer, women’s basketball;Richard Quick, women’s swimming; Skip Kenney, men’s swim-ming). Stanford athletes accounted for 16 gold medals, one silverand one bronze in Atlanta.

At the 1992 Games in Barcelona, Cardinal athletes earned 19medals – 10 gold, four silver and five bronze. If Stanford were a coun-try, it would’ve placed 13th in the world with its 19 medals and ninthwith 10 golds. Thirty-eight Stanford-affiliated athletes and coachesparticipated in Barcelona while 41 members of the Cardinal familytook part in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea.

National titles have become quite commonplace in the StanfordAthletic Department. In 1996-97, Cardinal teams set an NCAArecord by winning six NCAA team championships in a single aca-demic year: men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’svolleyball and men’s and women’s tennis. Nine other teams finishedin the Top Four nationally, including second place finishes inwomen’s swimming, men’s swimming, men’s water polo andwomen’s synchronized swimming. Stanford also posted third placefinishes in women’s basketball, baseball and fencing, as well as fourthplace finishes in women’s golf and women’s water polo.

The 1996-97 school year also saw the Cardinal football teamadvance to the Sun Bowl, the 18th bowl game in school history,the women’s basketball team return to the Final Four, the baseballteam qualify for the College World Series and the men’s basket-
