On April 21, 1998, former Aggie swimmer Rand Schaal and his father, Ted, made a $1.4 million donation to the university, $1 million of which was earmarked toward the construction of a new aquatics facility.

2004 Record: 17-16, 12-5 in WWPA2004 Finish: 4th at WWPA ChampionshipsLetterwinners Ret/Lost: 17/7
After not losing a single senior to graduation following the 2004 season, a completely intact UC Davis men’s water polo team returns to the pool this fall with its eyes on the WWPA championship game. UC Davis, who fi nished fourth in the 2004 Western Water Polo Conference Championships after falling to UC San Diego in the third-place match, is looking to improve upon last season’s 17-16 record.
In what head coach Steve Doten deemed a “very tough schedule,” the Aggies will go head-to-head with at least eight of the top 20 nationally ranked teams from the 2004 season including na-tional championship runner-up Stanford. UC Da-vis is also slotted to play against WWPA foes UC San Diego and Loyola Marymount at least once before the WWPA Championships in November.
The Aggies’ season will begin on the road at the UC San Diego Triton Invitational where they will face-off with UC Santa Cruz. “There is always a Nor Cal rivalry with Santa Cruz which makes it fun competition, so it’s great that we can play them,” said Doten.
The second game of the tournament pits the Aggies against the UC Irvine Anteaters. The last time these two teams met was during the 2000 season where the Aggies fell 16-6.
“It will be a good tough tournament,” re-marked Doten, “it will be good to get tested real hard in the fi rst weekend. The season is going to start off hard but it isn’t going to get easier as it progresses.”
Experience and maturity will be keys to suc-cess for the Aggies this year. Following a season with no senior leadership, the Aggies’ currently boast a roster with fi ve seniors, all who have been with UC Davis for the entirety of their career.
Leading the Aggie offense is senior driver and the team’s 2004 MVP, Patrick Jacobson. Jacobson was named an honorable mention All-American at the conclusion of last season after posting an im-pressive 70 goals on the season. Currently ranked eighth in career goals with 122 total, Jacobson will look to better the 202-goal school record set by Kevin Quinn in 1996. Doten feels that Jacobson is one of the Aggie’s greatest offensive threats with his, “tremendous speed and ability to think out-side the box.”
Also expected to contribute to the Aggie of-fense is senior two-meter player, Conor Duignan who has served as the primary center player for the past two seasons. Duignan fi nished last season with 27 goals, the fourth highest on the team, and 10 assists. Duignan was also second on the team
in kick-outs drawn with 45 and was named sec-ond team All-WWPA.
Helping out in the center will be sophomore utility player Nick Arrigo who made an immedi-ate impact in his rookie season scoring 18 goals and notching 13 assists, sixth best on the team for both.
Assisting with two-meter offense and defense will be sophomore utility player Matt Maclachlan who will be suiting up for his fi rst season with UC Davis following a transfer from Cal.
Juniors David Welch and Kevin Bacharach re-turn for their third season with the Aggies. Welch saw time in every game last season and posted 37 goals making him the second leading scorer be-hind Jacobsen. Bacharach was a contributor to the Aggie offense scoring 24 goals and handing off 10 assists in 470 minutes of play. Driver Collin Amon rounds out the list of juniors on the squad.
Adding to the team’s maturity are seniors Matt Jones and Aaron Schelegle. Each will add experi-ence to the Aggies’ perimeter offense.
“The standouts will be on defense this year,” predicted Doten and helping lead the charge will be senior two-meter defender Tom Jay who has held starting duties for the past three years. Jay
garnered honorable mention All-WWPA honors following the 2004 campaign in which he was third on the team in scoring with 35 goals. Jay currently has 100 career goals, ranking him 10th on UC Davis’ all-time list.
Also bringing strength to the two-meter de-fense will be true freshman Danny Driscoll, who is expected to make the biggest impact as a new-comer. Maclachlan, sophomore Jesse Tweed, ju-nior Trevor Long and junior Josh McNeely will give further depth to the team’s center defense.
Instrumental to the Aggie’s defense will be sophomore goalie Mike McGee. “He is a physi-cally gifted guy, one of the best athletes on the team, and he really helps the defense,” Doten said of McGee, who logged the majority of the minutes in the cage last season as a true freshman. McGee knocked down a total of 255 balls and had an av-erage of 9.1 saves per game. Backing up McGee will be junior Erik Acevedo who recorded a save average of .535 between the three games he saw minutes last season.
Rounding out the list of returnees are sopho-mores Jeffrey Kurth, Joseph Smith and Brian Win-kler. Winkler and Kurth saw limited time in their freshman campaigns and will look to gain more

experience in their second year with the Aggies. Smith, like Maclachlan, was a transfer from Cal and will be logging minutes for the Aggies for the fi rst time this season.
With UC Davis’ maturity also comes youth. Philippe Chordas, who redshirted last season but swam for the Aggie swim team, has been looking promising in the preseason. “Chordas has been leading in conditioning and will provide a lot of speed,” Doten said. Freshman Grant Muenter will also be a nice addition to the Aggie defense due to his being a southpaw. Rounding out the list of new faces are Adam Bennett, Paul Wilson and Alex Dewar. All three players redshirted last season.
“It is nice to have an older team for once,” Do-ten says, “Throughout the whole season we want to put more responsibility on the older returners. They are aware of the expectations and it is going to be a great season being able to rely on those guys that have been here for four years. There shouldn’t be any surprises this year.”

STEVE DOTENHead Coach5th Year
Steve Doten enters his fi fth season at the helm of the UC Davis men’s water polo program, having guided the team to two fourth-place show-ings in the Western Water Polo Association. Last year, the Aggies hosted the conference championships, taking sixth-ranked Loyola Marymount to sudden-death overtime in the semifi nal. UC Davis fi nished the season at No. 13 in the fi nal national poll, its highest placing in Doten’s tenure. Furthermore, Patrick Jacobson became the fi rst Aggie to earn Division I All-America status, garnering honorable mention accolades.
Doten enjoyed one of the best seasons in program history in 2002, when his Aggies enjoyed a 12-win improvement over the 2001 season and tied the school record for wins. UC Davis went 19-12 overall, matching the victories total of the 19-9 ledger of the 1970 squad. Doten guided UC Davis to a start in 2002, including seven straight wins, the longest such streak since the 1990 season. The 15 Western Water Polo As-sociation victories also tied for the second-most confer-ence wins since 1990.
In 2001, Doten led the Aggies to a fi fth-place fi nish in the WWPA, for which he was named the NCAA Divi-sion II Coach of the Year. That year, the Aggies’ schedule was loaded with Division I opponents, including two matches against NCAA champion Stanford and two against UC Berkeley, which fi nished the season ranked No.2 in the nation. In addition, Doten coached two seniors, Travis Engelman and Tim Rogers, to fi rst-team All-America status.
Doten’s teams have also succeeded in the classroom, as the Aggies’ composite grade-point average has risen each year since his arrival, ranking among the top three UC Davis men’s teams in each of the past two years.
In addition to his duties at UC Davis, Doten started the Davis Water Polo Club men’s open team in the sum-mer of 2001, for which he serves as head coach. In 2003, both his junior and senior teams qualifi ed for the USWP National Championships for the fi rst time. Last year, Doten was instrumental in bringing the USWP national tourney to the Schaal Aquatics Center, drawing more than a dozen former and current Olympians to the UC Davis campus. For his part, Doten’s Davis Water Polo Club squads fi nished 10th in the men’s nationals and 3rd in the 20-and-under division.
In January of 2004, Doten was selected as an Elite Award recipient for the Central California Zone by the USA Water Polo Coaches Committee. Additionally, Doten has served as president of the WWPA since 2003.
Prior to UC Davis, Doten was an assistant with Cal’s highly-rated women’s team from 1995-99, help-ing in all facets of the program. Cal fi nished second at the Collegiate Water Polo National Championships in 1996, ’97 and ’98. Doten also coached two players who participated for the United States in both of the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games.
As a player, Doten spent three seasons (1986-88)
No.2 in the nation. In addition, Doten coached two seniors, Travis Engelman and Tim Rogers, to fi rst-
A former captain for the UC Davis men’s water polo team, Jon Burke enters his third year as an assistant to Steve Doten. In the spring, he will begin his fourth year with the Aggie women’s team.

ACTIVITIESOn campus, UC Davis students can rally
around the highly successful athletics depart-ment by joining the Aggie Pack spirit organi-zation, or enjoy a fi rst-class performance at the Robert & Magrit Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.
The university also offers hundreds of student clubs and organizations, including cultural clubs, fraternities and sororities, faith-based organizations and the Associated Students of UC Davis student government.
For the active Aggie, students may participate in the diverse intramural sports program or join one of the 30-plus sports clubs. In 2004, the Activities & Recreation Center (ARC) opened its doors, providing the campus with its own state-of-the-art fi t-ness venue.
In April, UC Davis hosts Picnic Day, an annual student-run open house. The popular event showcases all that the campus has to of-fer, attracting students, staff, faculty, parents, alumni and members of the surrounding communities.
GETTING AROUNDNestled just southwest of Sacramento,
the city of Davis rests just 15 minutes from an international airport, and contains a down-town station serviced by Greyhound and Amtrak. Centrally located in the Sacramento Valley, the town sits equally close to both the fi nest ski resorts and the Pacifi c Ocean’s top beaches.
Within Davis and its neighboring towns, both Yolobus and the student-operated Uni-trans bus systems offer free transportation to registered undergraduates.
The town boasts more bicycles per capi-ta than any other city in the nation. More than 50 miles of bike paths make the entire town conducive to both riders and pedestrians.

CAMPUS LEADERSHIP
Larry N. Vanderhoef was appointed chancellor of the University of California, Davis, in April 1994. He joined the campus in 1984 as executive vice chancellor and provost.
During his 10-plus years as chancel-lor, the campus was invited to member-ship in the AAU; increased its extramural awards from $169.1 million to $420.7 million annually, earning a National Sci-ence Foundation (NSF) research funding ranking of 14th in the U.S.; expanded class-room, lab, clinical and offi ce space by 2 million square feet, with 1 million more to be built over the next fi ve years; completed the transformation of an ailing county hos-pital to an academically distinguished and fi nancially sound regional medical center; and made distinctive strides in recruiting a diverse and accomplished faculty and student body.
Chancellor Vanderhoef was recently honored by the Sacramento Business Journal as one of the 20 people who have con-tributed most substantially to California’s capital region over the past 20 years and by the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce as Sacramentan of the Year.
In 2004 he led a UC Davis delegation to Iran in an effort to promote dialogue and scholar exchange, and to promote generally the notion of crossing boundaries to build greater understanding and good will - a continuing personal and profes-sional effort.
His research interests lie in the gen-eral area of plant growth and development, and in the evolution of the land-grant uni-versities. He has taught classes from fresh-man level to advanced graduate study.
Chancellor Vanderhoef has served on various national commissions addressing graduate and international education, the role of a modern land-grant university and accrediting issues.
He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in biology from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and a Ph.D. in plant biochem-istry from Purdue University. Previously, he held faculty positions at the University of Illinois, where he also served as a de-partment head, and at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he was ap-pointed provost. He was awarded honorary doctoral degrees by Purdue University and by Inje University in Korea.
VIRGINIA HINSHAWProvost & Executive Vice Chancellor
Virginia S. Hinshaw, Ph.D. serves as the Provost and Executive Vice Chancel-lor of UC Davis. In that capacity, she is the campus’s chief academic and fi nancial offi cer and acts for the Chancellor in his absence. Hinshaw’s responsibilities include oversight of the campus’s $2.2 billion bud-get and overall responsibility for the UC Davis Health System; campus operations, including resource management, planning and policy development; and strategic leadership in planning, coordinating and implementing academic direction and pro-grams. Prior to joining UC Davis in 2001, she served as the Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
In addition to her administrative duties, Hinshaw maintains a joint appoint-ment in two academic departments as a Professor of Virology in the Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, and in the Department of Pathology, Microbiol-ogy and Immunology, School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis. For over 25 years she has conducted research on viruses, pri-marily infl uenza, at different hospitals and universities, including Medical College of Virginia, University of California Berkeley, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Har-vard Medical School, and the University of Wisconsin Madison.
Hinshaw’s research has increased our understanding of various aspects of infl uenza viruses, such as important hosts in nature, transmission among humans, lower mammals and birds, genetic changes related to disease severity, the molecular basis of cell killing, and new approaches to vaccines. Her innovative and energetic teaching style, combined with her con-tinual advocacy for research and educa-tion, has earned her national recognition and acclaim.
JUDY SAKAKIVice Chancellor, Student Affairs
Judy Sakaki assumed her position as Vice Chancellor of the Division of Student Affairs in July 2002. Dr. Sakaki oversees programs and services that enhance the academic and personal development of stu-dents, including intercollegiate athletics.
Sakaki received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from California State University, Hayward, in 1975 and 1977, respectively, and a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 1991. In 1994-95 she was an Execu-tive Fellow in the Executive Leadership Development Program and the California State University. She also served as an American Council on Education Fellow during that period.
In 1995 she joined California State University, Fresno, as dean of Student Affairs, and in 1997 was appointed vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students.
Sakaki brought substantial experi-ence with diverse student populations to the campus as well as an impressive ability to forge links between student services and academic programs. UC Davis students, and the campus community, benefi t sig-nifi cantly from her expertise, insights, and passion for providing an optimal learning environment.

UC DAVIS ATHLETICS
On August 1, 1995, Greg Warzecka became the 11th director of athletics at UC Davis. In the decade-plus since, the Aggie athletics program has enjoyed unprecedented success under his guidance.
Warzecka’s penchant for progress began from his fi rst year as director when he was charged with the task of fully engaging the campus in dicussions regarding whether or not UC Davis would offer athletics-related fi nancial aid. One year later, the campus announced the launch of its fi rst-ever grant-in-aid program.
Warzecka has also overseen UC Davis’ transition into two conferences in his short tenure. In 1998, the Aggies moved from the now-defunct Northern
California Athletic Conference to the powerful California Collegiate Athletic Association. Then in 2003, the UC Davis program announced that it would join the Big West Conference and thus reclassify from NCAA Division II to Division I status.
During Warzecka tenure, UC Davis captured six NACDA Division II Directors’ Cups as the most outstanding overall program in the country. For his part, NACDA selected Warzecka as its A.D. of the year for the D-II West Region in 2001-02.
Furthermore, the editors of Sports Illustrated magazine lauded the Aggie program on three different occasions. In 1999 and 2000, Sports Illustrated For Women named UC Davis as the top Division II school for women athletics. One year later, SI selected UC Davis as its top D-II school for the 2001-02 year.
Before turning to administration, Warzecka had been a successful baseball coach, fi rst as an assistant at his alma mater, UC Berkeley. He then served as head coach at San Francisco State, then at the University of Chicago, where he also served his fi rst post as men’s athletics director. Warzecka returned to California in 1989 to become the A.D. at the University of Redlands, where he remained until he joined the Aggie athletics staff.

UC Davis ranks among the leaders in NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Awards and Academic All-District/America honorees. Student-Athlete Guidance Services deserves much of the credit for these accomplish-ments.
The SAGS offi ce started in 1988 with a single staff member serving as a centralized resource for academic advising, eligiblity information and campus referrals. The offi ce has since expanded to include additional academic advisors, an athletic aid coordina-tor, an assistant eligibility coordinator and an administrative assistant. It is headed by Pam Gill-Fisher, senior associate director of athletics.
The SAGS offi ce provides a range of services to student-athletes on all 26 intercol-legiate athletics teams, including assistance with course and major selection as well as interpretation and clarifi cation of eligibility rules and issues.
UC Davis student-athletes typically have a minimum of three academic advisors: an
athletic academic advisor assigned by sport, a college advisor, and a major advisor (if the stu-dent has a declared major). Although appoint-ments with the athletic academic advisors are not mandatory at UC Davis, student-athletes might choose to see their athletic academic advisor for issues including:
• Balancing academic and athletic expectations• General education (GE) requirements• Dropping/adding courses• Time management/study skills• Assistance completing the mandatory Academic Plan
Form• Study hall for student-athletes• Personal issues that affect academic performance• Choosing a major/career• Declaring or changing a major• Campus resources• Exploration of opportunities beyond athletics• Preparation for graduate programs• Preparation and application for NCAA Postgraduate
Scholarships and other national awards
Michelle RoppeauDirector of AthleticAcademic Advising
Known collectively as “The Healer of Champions”, the UC Davis athletic training staff comprises fi ve full-time certifi ed athletic trainers, a full-time physical therapist/certi-fi ed athletic trainer and approximately 24 student athletic trainers. Together, they are responsible for providing medical care to the 800-plus student-athletes that compose UC Davis’ 26 varsity teams.
The student athletic trainers serve two to three years with the program, logging in more than 1,500 hours and gaining valuable clinical education in a hands-on environ-ment. The internship is ideal for any student interested in a graduate program in athletic training, as well as any medical or allied medi-cal profession.
The ARC Pavilion training room con-tains extensive resources and equipment for the rehabilitation of injured athletes. The staff physical therapist is headquartered there as well.

THE PAVILION
The ARC adjoins the Pavilion (left), formerly known as Recreation Hall, the home venue for UC Davis basketball, volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics, as well as concerts and special events. With a seating capacity of nearly 8,000, the Pavilion ranks as one of the largest on-cam-pus arenas in Northern California.
In January of 2004, the Ted & Rand Schaal Aquatics Center hosted its fi rst event. The complex features an Olympic-sized pool, locker rooms, team rooms, offi ce space and perma-nent seating for approximately 500 spectators. The aquatics center will allow UC Davis to host champion-ship events, such as this year’s Western Water Polo Association championships.
Recognized in 1999 as “Softball Field of the Year” by the Sports Turf Managers Association, La Rue Field hosted fi ve
NCAA West Region Softball Cham-pionships in the past decade. Recent
additions include batting cages, covered dugouts and improved press areas.
The palatial Activites & Recreation Center (ARC) opened its doors
during the spring of 2004, offering a wide array of fi tness areas, including
full-size basketball courts, a multi-use activity center for indoor soccer or hockey, a running/jogging track,
weight rooms, aerobics facilities, squash and racquetball courts and
a rock-climbing wall. Additional amenities include a wellness center,
student lounges and opportunities for conferences and special events.
HOME OF THE AGGIES
UC Davis student-athletes welcomed the expanded weight room, located inside Toomey Field. In addition to nearly tripling in size the previous facility, the upgrade also included all new equipment, restrooms and offi ce space.
Built in the 1950s, Toomey Field has hosted numerous championship events for football, track & fi eld and lacrosse. During the 2000 Olympic Trials, standouts Marion
Jones and Michael Johnson used the Woody Wilson Track as a practice facility.
FUTURE GAMESIn the upcoming years, UC Davis Athletics will see the opening of two fi rst-class athletics facilities. The Marya Welch Tennis Center (left), an upgrade of the existing Hickey Tennis Courts, began construction in 2004. Long-term plans for the tennis venue include grandstand seating with restroom/concessions.
Aggie football and women’s lacrosse will move to a multi-purpose stadium, located adjacent to the Schaal Aquatics Center, as early as the 2006-07 academic year. Initial concept designs call for seating of 10 to 15 thousand spectators, which an eventual build-out to as many as 30,000.
Note: each drawing represents a concept for full build-out. Designs are subject to change.

Good NewsThe light at the end of the tunnel brightened when the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved legislation which will make Aggies eligible to win automatic berths to NCAA Championships beginning their fi rst active year of Division I membership in 2007-08. The Big West Conference-sponsored NCAA 2003-13 passed in August of 2004.
Under previous legisla-tion, the Aggies would have been ineligible to win any automatic berth awarded to the Big West Conference until 2009-10. For men’s basketball, the wait was eight years, meaning the Aggies would not be able to win an automatic berth until 2015-16.
