HEAD COACH PATTI GERCKENS

Patti Gerckens begins her 16th season as head coach of the UC San Diego softball program in 2008. She enters the season with a 346-351 overall record, giving her a .496 winning percentage on the La Jolla campus. Her 346 wins are 227 more than the next closest coach on the all-time wins list for UCSD softball, while her win percentage is the third highest of any coach who was at the helm of the program for more than one season.

Since guiding the team’s transition from Division III to Division II in 2001, Gerckens has accumulated a 200-187 record and a .517 winning percentage, including a berth in the 2002 and 2007 NCAA Division II West Regional. Those numbers are fairly remarkable considering that the Tritons play in the ultra-competitive California Collegiate Athletic Association, widely considered to be the best Division II conference in the country. In CCAA play alone, Gerckens has accumulated a 120-102 record over the last four seasons, amounting to a .541 win percentage.

A breakout season in 2007 propelled the Tritons to their second-ever berth in the NCAA Division II National Championship Tournament. UCSD posted a 35-27 record during the regular season and garnered the No. 3 seed in the D-II West Regional. After a hard-fought 1-0 victory in the opening round over Sonoma State, Gerckens’ squad would suffer back-to-back heartbreaking losses to 2nd-seeded Cal State Stanislaus and top-seeded Humboldt State.

Despite the exit from the NCAA regional, the Tritons posted one of its best seasons in program history, finishing with a 23-12 record in CCAA play, good enough for a second place finish during the regular season. Gerckens was honored by a vote of the league’s coaches as the 2007 CCAA Coach of the Year while also having four of her players earn All-CCAA honors, including Nicole Saari, who was named the league’s Freshman of the Year. Additionally, Gerckens had two of her student-athletes earn NFCA First Team All-West Region honors.

In 2006 Gerckens guided the Tritons to a 24-28 overall record.Of the 28 losses that the team suffered, 14 came against teams ranked in the top-20 in the NCAA Division II, while another four of those losses came against Division I schools and NAIA teams ranked in the top-10. UCSD posted a 10-18 league record, finishing sixth in the 9-team league.

During the ‘06 campaign, Gerckens won her 300th contest and saw four of her student-athletes earn All-CCAA recognition. The 300th victory came on February 25 at home in the team’s 12-7 win over Sonoma State, capping off a doubleheader sweep of the Seawolves that improved the Tritons to 13-6 on the year and a perfect 4-0 in league action.

Her 2005 squad ended the season with a 19-31 overall record and an 11-16 mark in CCAA action. During the 2004 season, her squad finished the season with a 29-27 overall mark and a 22-14 record in league play. Despite finishing third in the conference, UCSD was the last team left out of the west regional.

In 2001, the program’s first year at D-II, the team posted an overall record of 34-17, just one victory shy of the single-season school record. The Tritons also finished tied for second in the CCAA with a conference record of 21-11. In six of the past seven seasons, Gerckens’ teams have won at least 23 games, and she led teams to the NCAA Playoffs in 1997, 2000 and 2002.

In the 2000 season, Gerckens became the winningest coach in UCSD softball history and because of that accomplishment, she received the prestigious UCSD Excellence in Coaching Award.

Gerckens graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education. While attending UNC, she was a four-year starter at second base for the Tar Heels. She also played for the New Jersey Blue Jays of the Amatuer Softball Association for nine years, winning a national championship in 1992 as well as All-American honors.

Prior to coming to UCSD, Gerckens had served for two years as a health and physical education instructor at Cresskill High School in Cresskill, New Jersey. She was also coach of the volleyball and softball teams at Cresskill. In 1992, she became assistant coach of the Tritons and took over as head coach the following year.

Gerckens received her master’s degree in Sports Psychology at San Diego State University in 1993.

He split his time on the field between the pitcher’s mound, center field and behind the plate as a catcher.

UC SAN DIEGO INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

Earl W. Edwards - Director of AthleticsEarl W. Edwards accepted the position of Director of Athletics at UC San Diego in March, 2000. Under his guidance, the 23-sport program has made a successful transition from the NCAA Division III to Division II. In fact, UCSD has surpassed all expectations in Division II, capturing women’s soccer national championships in both 2000 and 2001, and finishing in the top-10 of the Director’s Cup standings in four of its first five seasons.

Edwards’ move to UC San Diego represented a homecoming, as he had previously served as Associate Athletic Director at UCSD from 1987 to 1993. He then took a position as Director of Athletics at East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. During his seven-year tenure at the NCAA Division II institution, he served on numerous NCAA committees, including a 1999 appointment to the Division II Management Council. Edwards is also currently a member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Executive Committee.

Edwards is a 1972 graduate of East Stroudsburg with a master’s degree in Physical Education and Sports Administration from the University of Massachusetts. In addition to East Stroudsburg, he has athletic administration experience at UMass, UC Davis, the University of Michigan, Drexel University and UC San Diego. While previously serving at UCSD, Edwards initiated the Triton Athletic Associates, the athletic department’s primary fund-raising source. Edwards now presides over a UC San Diego program which is recognized nationally for both its athletic and academic achievements.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The University of California, San Diego Department of Athletics is committed to actively participating in the community through a variety of outreach events and services. Student-athletes from 23 sports participate in a wide range of service and outreach programs in and around the San Diego area.

In 2003-04 the Tritons began the “Team Up!” program. This program assists local elementary schools that do not have a physical education component in their current curriculum. UCSD student-athletes provide healthy physical activity and create an environment for elementary school students that foster positive thinking and team building. The program was run at the Del Mar Heights Elementary School in the morning hours prior to school starting and during the students’ lunch periods during the past two years.

Triton student-athletes make the holidays brighter for 12 families in the San Diego area on an annual basis, providing a plethora of gifts and holiday cheer. Triton teams paired up and each tandem purchased presents, food, and goodies to deliver to their adopted family before the holidays. Families were selected by the Neighborhood House Association which runs the Head Start programs throughout San Diego County. Student-athletes contacted the families to find out what special

presents the children wanted, as well as what sort of clothing or other needs could be met. Teams delivered the presents in person and spent time with the families, often playing games with the children. Families each received approximately $300-$500 worth of gifts, depending on the number of children. Presents ranged from a bike for one child to clothing and food for the parents.

In conjuction with the California Collegiate Athletic Association as the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Triton student-athletes have gone to work to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in each of the last three years. The student-athletes held a bake sale during the Annual Sun God Festival on the UCSD campus. Each team brought baked goods for a sale in the evening prior to the festival’s main event. The goal at each CCAA member institution was to raise $1 per student-athlete. Triton student-athletes far exceeded this goal, raising over $1,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2005.

Additionally, the Intercollegiate Athletics Department holds an annual Blood Drive to benefit the American Red Cross. All coaches, staff and out of season student-athletes participated in the blood drive, while those student-athletes who were in season recruited other students on campus to donate blood on their behalf.

Two integral parts of the UC San Diego athletic department are the Athletic Performance Program and the Sports Medicine Program, both of which provide a tremendous advantage to all 23 of the UCSD intercollegiate sports.

The Athletic Performance Program is geared toward teaching each student-athlete how to achieve the highest level of athletic development through enhancement of all components of strength and conditioning. Athlete workouts are monitored and planned out by Rob Mamula, UCSD’s Director of Athletic Performance who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Triton athletics. Mamula represents the only full-time strength and conditioning coach in the entire CCAA. The Tritons work out in the RIMAC weight room that is over 12,000 square feet in size with state of the art equipment. The UCSD Athlete Performance Program is truly designed with the student-athlete’s enhancement in mind. Very few programs at the Division II level have such expertise and first class facilities at the disposal of the student-athlete helping to further distinguish the Triton Athletic Department as one of the premier intercollegiate programs in the country.

The UC San Diego Sports Medicine Center is the hub for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries suffered by Triton student-athletes. Under the supervision of head athletic trainer Kevin Messey MS, ATC, CSCS and his staff, UCSD athletes receive the highest quality medical care and access to an extensive network of physicians and other medical specialists.

The rest of the training room staff is comprised of two full-time ATCs and an average of 10 athletic training students (ATS). The UCSD athletic training room is a clinical site for San Diego State University’s accredited athletic training education program where some of the athletic training students fulfill their clinical experience. Additionally the UCSD Sports Medicine Center offers a wide variety of options for examination and rehabilitation.

From acupuncture to a group of six highly specialized sports medicine, family practitioners and orthopedic surgeons, the UCSD training room has a multitude of options at your disposal to get you healthy and back on the field of competition in no time.

SAN DIEGO - AMERICA’S FINEST CITY

The UCSD campus is located in La Jolla, Calif., just minutes north of America’s sixth largest city, San Diego.

Spanish for ‘the jewel’, La Jolla is one of San Diego’s first neighborhoods to be settled. The city of La Jolla has spectacular beaches and park areas that are popular for great diving, swimming, surfing, hiking, romantic sunset strolls, and family fun. La Jolla’s village area boasts a beautiful Mediterranean charm and a cool Southern Californian vibe, and rolls out the red carpet when it comes to it’s fine dining, theatre, cultural activities, boutique shopping, art galleries and fine lodging establishments. It is no wonder why La Jolla’s Prospect Street was dubbed ‘San Diego’s Rodeo Drive’.

Named “America’s Finest City” due to its hospitality, beauty and ideal climate, San Diego is located at the southern tip of California, just north of Mexico. The residents of San Diego county are so physically active that Sports Illustrated magazine once called it “Sportstown, U.S.A.” San Diego’s 70 miles of beaches are a haven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and sunbathers.

The city of San Diego is a major commercial busi-ness center with more than 2.6 million residents and a varied economy based in agriculture, manufactur-ing, aerospace, technology, electronics, aircraft, ship-building, scientific research and tourism. The city is one of the largest biotech centers in the U.S.
