|2 Reflections

As we look towards welcoming another group of incoming student-athletes for the 2013–14 academic and athletic

year, it’s often challenging to take the time to look back on the successes of the previous year, as we are constantly

striving to make next year even better. However, the chronicle of excellence contained within this document provides

the opportunity for all of us to pause and reflect on the extraordinary accomplishments that were put before us by our

student-athletes, coaches and staff over the past year.

As our staff often hears me say, ‘if we are not getting better, we are getting worse,” and by so many measures

detailed here, our programs continue to get better.

The year 2012–13 saw a continuation of many of the successes to which we have become accustomed. Academic

and athletic excellence manifested itself once again in President’s Lists and Dean’s Lists, conference academic awards,

individual and team championships, and player of the year awards. These successes continue to mark our program and

are an important part of our identity. But this year, there was more.

The 2012–13 year provided a number of firsts for our programs. Women’s rowing made its inaugural appearance

in the NCAA Championship through automatic qualification. Women’s golf made its first-ever NCAA Tournament

appearance as an at-large team. Men’s basketball achieved its first-ever No. 1 national ranking and NCAA Tournament

No. 1 seed. We also broke ground on a state of the art indoor tennis and golf facility that will provide the opportunity for

four of our programs to set a new standard of training excellence and achieve like never before. And the list goes on . . .

While our programs experienced many ‘first-time’ successes, these achievements are not the result of only a single

year. The success enjoyed by our student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans this year are the culmination of years of hard

work, commitment, sweat and dedication. But our work is not done.

As we conclude the University’s 125th Anniversary celebration, we continue to invest in success. This entire

academic year has not only been a celebration of the past and present of Gonzaga, but a look ahead to the future.

Gonzaga Athletics is positioned well.

In these pages, you will find individuals who are making an impact right now for the future of Gonzaga. You will

learn about Marco Gonzales, Kelly Olynyk, Lindsey Drake, Pat Tyson, Dave and Chris Lynch, and the benefactors who

have provided for the construction of our new tennis and golf facility. These are people who, in the best traditions of

Gonzaga, are leaving this place better than they found it, and laying the foundation for our programs to continue to grow

and improve.

Thank you for investing with us over the past year. We are humbled and excited to have you with us going into the

future and are hopeful you have found us to be worthy stewards of the resources you have shared with us.

As we share a common vision with our benefactors, the idea that we have the opportunity to make Gonzaga

Athletics as great as we dare to dream has never been more visible in so many ways. We have work yet to do and we

need your continued support. Without you, and others like you who share this vision, none of this is possible!

Thank you for all you do for the Zags!

Michael L. Roth, Director of Athletics

In 2004, the NCAA initiated

the Academic Progress Rate

(APR) program, a scale which

represents an institution’s

ability to retain and maintain

their scholarship student-

athletes’ academic eligibility

and citizenship. The rate ranges from 0-1,000 (with

1,000 representing all student-athletes for a given

year being both retained and academically eligible for

competition). APR rates are calculated every semester

and are attached not only to institutions, but also to

individual head coaches. The NCAA currently uses an

APR score of 930 as its cut-off for acceptable retention

and support of student-athletes; schools falling under

that standard may be subject to NCAA penalties ranging

from scholarship limits and/or reductions to potential

elimination of postseason play opportunities. Gonzaga

is proud to have six programs receive recognition from

the NCAA as a result of our strong APR scores. Our

men’s soccer, men’s outdoor track, women’s cross

country, women’s outdoor track, women’s golf, and

women’s volleyball teams were publicly recognized by

the NCAA for being in the top 10 percent of national

APR scores in their respective sports. Women’s golf has

been recognized all eight years of the public recognition

program, while men’s soccer earned its fifth straight

honor. All 17 of Gonzaga’s sports included in the report

(men’s rowing is not a NCAA championship sport while

indoor track and outdoor track each count as separate

sports) registered an APR of 994, well above the

NCAA multi-year average of 974. Gonzaga’s multi-year

average of 994 includes all 17 sports, but in making

comparisons with the 13 WCC-sponsored championship

sports Gonzaga’s APR of 992 was the highest among

the nine West Coast Conference schools, and 16 of our

17 APR eligible teams scored perfect 1,000’s for the

most recent year’s submission. Our APR success is a

testament not only to the outstanding education and

support provided to each and every one of our student-

athletes, but also the commitment our coaches and staff

make to every Zag.

The meaning is simple . . . great things often come from small beginnings. If the acorn is the seed that grows into the mighty oak, then along the way there have been many seeds that have fueled the experiences that have brought Dave and Chris Lynch to support Gonzaga University Athletics, and specifically the cross country program led by head coach Pat Tyson.

The roots of Catholic education run deep with the Lynch’s. Both attended Catholic grade schools, and Chris spent her career as a Catholic high school teacher at St. Thomas More in Spokane.

“Catholic institutions have been ingrained in our life since we were kids, and we also have a child that went to Catholic school, so looking to support Gonzaga University for everything they do comes naturally for us,” says Dave.

For Chris, that tradition extended to her working life as she specifically sought to apply her teaching career within a Catholic school setting.

“I chose to work at a Catholic school because I was able to include all aspects of life in my daily teaching, and not only what’s in the textbook. It’s the same here at

Gonzaga. When you come here and experience Gonzaga, you don’t come here and only see an athletics team. You see an educational experience that’s rooted in a common foundation and a common faith, and that’s something this institution’s always been really strong on.”

The seeds of Catholic education sprouted within Dave and Chris, leading them to become long-time supporters of Gonzaga University Athletics. “There’s a philosophy behind the athletic teams, and you can see that in the way the administration, coaches and student-athletes work together,” says Chris. “You see that common base in Christianity. It’s not just to win a game, even though we want to do that. We want to do well athletically, but there’s a larger purpose. What we’re creating in our student-athletes is the opportunity to groom them to be better people when they’re finished with their college athletic career.”

That sense of purpose, along with a chance encounter with Tyson in 2009 would eventually trigger Dave and Chris to focus their support to Tyson’s program. But as is often the case, a personal seed had been planted long before, and was just waiting to sprout. Dave and Chris’ nephew, Kelly Lynch, had been a runner for Tyson at Mead High School, eventually earning the opportunity to run cross country at the University of Notre Dame. It was the positive experience Kelly had that provided the foundation for Dave and Chris to truly understand the impact a coach can have on not only a student-athletes’ athletic career, but their life beyond sports.

“Pat Tyson gave (Kelly) memories that will last a lifetime. The experiences he gained at Mead and now at Notre Dame, he will take with him forever,” says Dave. “When we met Pat at a GU function, and sat and visited with him and saw how enthusiastic he is and how engaged he is in the lives of his student-athletes, we knew that you couldn’t ask for a better representative of what Gonzaga is supposed to be about. That’s what really sold us on him.”

And it sold the Lynch’s on the opportunity to provide support for the Zag cross country program, one that often gets overshadowed in the public realm by its more high-profile counterparts in Gonzaga Athletics.

Despite not yet having a full-complement of NCAA-allowable scholarships or the budget of some of its powerhouse counterparts in the Northwest, Tyson is turning Gonzaga into a winner. Gonzaga runners consistently achieve at a higher level year after year, and the program is

quickly developing a reputation as one to be reckoned with in the world of cross country.

“We knew the impact that Pat Tyson was having as a coach and a mentor for student-athletes both in athletic competition and in their lives. He’s helping them become better people, and we just wanted to help make that opportunity possible for more kids,” agree Dave and Chris. “Cross country doesn’t enjoy some of the financial advantages shared by other sports. Pat is the right person to develop this program and we want to support that. When we heard what his kids were saying about him and the impact he has on their life, it convinced us to start supporting the program. We like to think we’re helping Pat and Gonzaga to provide a wonderful experience that will plant seeds they’ll carry for the rest of their lives.”

So it all comes back to seeds. Seeds planted through a commitment to Catholic education, harvested as positive results that impact student-athletes throughout their entire lives. Years down the road, when the full impact of a well-developed cross country program is a known reality, the Lynch’s hope the seeds of financial support they planted will yield the same kinds of results.

“We really just hope Gonzaga can continue to grow as it is with a strong foundation in our faith, and continue to be available for students who want to come here and experience this, especially in this case for cross country. You can get an education anywhere, but in addition to the education, at Gonzaga you get the opportunity to plant the seeds that support a strong faith.”

“The gift the Lynch’s have provided to our program means a great deal as it affirms everything we are trying to do to advance this cross country program,” says Tyson. “To have committed supporters like the Lynch’s and others, with a commitment to cross country is what will catapult this program and enable us to make this program everything we know it can be.”

A seed is a powerful thing. There’s no doubt the seeds planted by Dave and Chris Lynch in support of Tyson and his cross country program will also one day bear fruit well beyond their size.

Whether it’s the acorn that grows into a mighty oak, or financial support of a program that is doing special things in the lives of its student-athletes, the rewards are exponential. That’s exactly what Dave and Chris Lynch, and Pat Tyson are counting on.

Gonzaga has a long tradition of student-athletes achieving All-America status across a number of sports. Equally important is the tradition of excellent scholar-athletes at Gonzaga being named to Academic All-American lists.

So when Kelly Olynyk was separately named to each list for his performance in the classroom and on the court this year, he was simply continuing those Gonzaga traditions.

The fact that he was named both a first-team All-American, and a Capital One Academic All-America first-team selection put him in rarified air only accomplished by 15 individuals over the past 40 years. It also provided Gonzaga with its second student-athlete to make both lists along with Dan Dickau in 2002, a feat not duplicated by any Division I institution in America since UCLA had two student-athletes in the 1970’s named to both lists (Marques Johnson ’77, Jamaal Wilkes ’74).

An accounting major from Kamloops, British Columbia, Olynyk finished his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in December (2012) with a 3.53 undergraduate grade-point-average and has also completed work towards a Master of Business Administration degree.

Since 2000, Gonzaga is the only NCAA Division I school with two men’s basketball players who have earned both first-team All-America and first-team Academic All-America honors in the same year. The others who have accomplished the feat since 2000 are:

> Shane Battier, Duke, 2001> Emeka Okefor, Connecticut, 2004> DJ Augustine, Texas, 2008

Olynyk, who redshirted the 2011-12 season, was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Year this past season. He averaged 17.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 1.7 assists/game

and 1.1 blocks/game in helping Gonzaga to a 32-3 overall record, a 16-0 WCC mark, the WCC Tournament title and a 15th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.

His stellar output on the court garnered him many accolades. The junior was named Associated Press All-America, U.S. Basketball Writers Association All-America, Sporting News All-America, National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division I All-America and was tabbed as the third Zag to be named a John R. Wooden Award Top Five honoree in the program’s history and the first since 2006. He was a second-team Basketball Times All-America selection.

The 7-0 forward from Kamloops, B.C., was also named the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association Scholar-Athlete of the Year for men’s basketball as well as being named to the Scholar-Athlete Team.

|6 celebRAting 125 yeARs

This past year has been unlike any other during Gonzaga’s rich 125-year history. Under

the theme “Tradition and Transformation,” we paid tribute to all the people who make

Gonzaga so extraordinary. We celebrated the impact of intellect, faith and courage, as

well as the intrinsic value of service. We rekindled old friendships and made new ones.

We were gifted some truly remarkable opportunities to pause, reflect and learn. Most

importantly, we embraced the chance to honor the University’s essential Jesuit and

Catholic identity.

The successes of this past year, of which there were many, exceeded every

expectation. This milestone turned into a rich abundance of opportunities to celebrate

the power of great people and transformational ideas. Thank you, Zag Nation, for being

a part of the celebration.

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu kicked off Gonzaga’s 125th Anniversary with

a stirring keynote address at undergraduate commencement in May 2012. The Nobel

Laureate urged graduates to not only dream, but also collaborate with God to make

the world better. It was a fitting start to a year filled with inspirational messages from

many world-renowned speakers, like Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Thomas Friedman,

primatologist Jane Goodall and artist Dale Chihuly.

In October, nearly 2,000 alumni and more than 3,500

family members of Gonzaga students converged on

campus to celebrate Zagapalooza, the all-class reunion,

and Fall Family Weekend, an annual rite of the season. The

weekend gave Zags a chance to live (or re-live) the Gonzaga

Experience with family and friends, new and old.

In January, the year’s celebrations reached a new high,

with Zags everywhere uniting in spirit and gathering in person

to celebrate all that makes Gonzaga so special. More than

2,300 Zags from Spokane to New York — even Tokyo — came together for National

Gonzaga Day. It was the start of a new tradition and a glimpse into the University’s

future.

Even with all the inspiring details of Gonzaga’s 125th Anniversary still fresh in our

memories, we remain steadfastly focused on the future. We must eagerly jump into

the work of imagining and creating an educational experience that, while remaining

faithful to Gonzaga’s fundamental mission, is both relevant and rigorous in today’s

global environment.

The heart of Gonzaga today, as it has been since the beginning, is the mission of

the Jesuits: to work, teach and serve others in an effort to build up the Kingdom of

God. The University recently refined its Mission Statement, thus better positioning

itself to begin creating more mission-driven goals in the years ahead. Gonzaga is, and

always will strive to be, an exemplary learning community that educates students for

lives of leadership and service for the common good.

Athletic Center, Right: Students and staff celebrate Historic First Day at Gonzaga

Global engagement is a significant part of what it means to be Jesuit. We must

venture out to those places where we are needed most, to learn about new cultures,

to discover and explore spirituality, and to expand faith. It is the reason Gonzaga has

long been a forerunner in the area of study abroad. The University’s flagship study-

abroad program is, of course, the ever-popular Gonzaga-in-Florence. For 50 years, this

program has provided transformative experiential learning opportunities for more than

6,000 students. Florentines from the last five decades will celebrate G-I-F’s golden

anniversary during the upcoming academic year with all-class reunions in Spokane

and Italy.

Reaching such milestones certainly would not be possible without the vision,

perseverance and generosity of the entire Gonzaga family. That commitment is also

why we are able to begin construction on the University Center.

More than a beautiful new building, the University Center will animate the center

of Gonzaga’s campus, bringing together students, faculty, staff and the community to

foster collaboration and activities that support social, academic and spiritual growth.

Tomorrow’s technology will stream life and learning from across the globe. This

visionary facility will be sustainable, able to respond to changing needs and resources

and filled with design elements that can create a learning laboratory. Put simply, the

University Center will transform the delivery of a contemporary Jesuit education.

It is truly an exciting and rewarding time to be a Zag. Our past successes and

current ventures demonstrate not only what is possible, but what is essential in our

future.

Gonzaga University baseball pitcher and first baseman

Marco Gonzales completed one of the finest seasons for

a two-way player. As the staff ace and a middle-of-the

lineup hitter, Gonzales was recognized nationally and

named the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year

by the College Baseball Hall of Fame. The

West Coast Conference Co-Player of

the Year has since been drafted in the

first round of the MLB Draft to the St.

Louis Cardinals but had no problems

taking time to reflect on his time as

a Zag.

Why number 7?There is a story behind it. I had a teammate that passed

away of cancer when I was 13. We played together for

three years growing up and our families were pretty

close. When the number seven was open, I could not

think of a better way to honor him and the game we

both love. Every time I go out and wear number seven I

am unbelievably honored.

Why did you choose gonzaga?I picked Gonzaga for the opportunity to impact

the baseball program right away and for the great

academics. The university always stood out to me and

the challenge of playing for a great baseball team was

too good to pass up. I fell in love with the school. I fell

in love with everything that Gonzaga believes in. The

coaches were very upfront and honest and engaging,

and I wanted to be part of that. I had a great support

system, and I know that I found one here. It was an easy

decision.

What is your first memory of your freshman year?The freshman boat cruise. That was first time I got

to meet a lot of my best friends and experience the

Gonzaga community. It was nice to see some of the

beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

did you have any older teammates that were mentors to you? if so, who were they and what did they teach you?Cody Martin. Above anything else, he taught to me to

have confidence in myself. Regardless of what you are

doing, trust your skills and give it your all. Each day he

would go out and compete and I try to mimic him the

way I approach the game.

What is the biggest lesson you learned during your gonzaga career?I have really learned to pace myself on and off the field.

It is a long season and specifically for baseball it is a

long training regimen. With school and playing baseball,

it takes up a lot of time and it is a lot of work. Learning

how to pace yourself and prepare makes the process

easier and less stressful.

What do you want your legacy at gonzaga to be?I want fans and the Gonzaga community to remember

the way I competed and handled myself as a person. Not

just on the field but off the field where I worked to be

a leader. I put in my work in the classroom and tried to

represent the program the best I could.

of all that you and the team accomplished during your career with gonzaga, what are you most proud of?TEAM ACCOMPLISHMENT: As a team winning the

West Coast Conference regular-season title was

special. We had such a great year with a good group of

guys. Everyone contributed and we found ways to win

important games. It was cool to see our growth as the

season went along, and I am proud of how everyone

stepped up all year.

INDIVIDUAL ACCOMPLISHMENT: I am very happy that I

was able to stay healthy this year and for the better part

of my career. Every time I went out on the hill I wanted

to give my team a chance to win. I think I was able to

accomplish that. I was able to get better and better each

year in hopes to help this program reach new heights.

Was your experience at gonzaga everything you thought it was going to be?Absolutely. Gonzaga has given me everything I thought it

would and much more. I really underestimated the sense

of family that I would acquire when I was in Spokane.

I could not be more thankful for all the support from

my teammates, coaches, fans and the entire Gonzaga

community.

What is your ultimate hope for the gonzaga baseball program in the future?I would love to see the club continue to make the climb.

I was fortunate to see some of the uprising and I know

things will only get better for the team. I am praying for

the best for the program because the team and school

deserve it.

sRebuilding year. That was the description that many outsiders wanted to use when

describing the Gonzaga University women’s basketball team as it headed into the

2012–13 campaign.

You could see where they were coming from. The Bulldogs, coming off their third-

straight trip to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, had lost five seniors to graduation, including

a trio of starters that went on to play professionally; two drafted into the WNBA. Of

the 11 players they returned in 2012–13, four were sophomores and two redshirt

freshmen. Only three averaged more than 20 minutes per game.

Gonzaga quickly shut the door on an inclination of a rebuilding year. The Zags won

an unprecedented ninth-straight West Coast Conference regular season title, the WCC

Tournament Championship for the fourth time in five years and earned a spot in the

NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive season and sixth in seven years.

At year’s end, the Bulldogs had their seventh-straight, and eighth in nine years,

20-plus win season, closing the year at 27-6. They lost only one league game for the

third time in nine seasons, finishing 15-1. Gonzaga also had the 13th highest home

attendance average in the nation at 5,678 and had seven sellouts—both school records.

The Bulldog attendance ranking was ahead of the likes of Duke, Penn State, Texas

A&M and Stanford.

The Zags also closed out the year in the Top 20 in six NCAA Division I categories;

turnover margin (7th; 6.15), steals per game (12th; 11.9), 3-point field goal percentage

(15th; 35.6), win-lost percentage (16th; 81.8), scoring margin (19th; 14.3) and assist-to-

turnover ratio (20; 1.11).

All 14 GU players—which consisted of nine underclassmen—played crucial minutes

and vital parts in its success.

> Gonzaga ended the season with a 27-6 overall record and 15-1 in West Coast Conference play.

> The Bulldogs secured its seventh-straight 20-plus win season and eighth in ninth years.

> Gonzaga made its sixth trip to the NCAA Tournament; fifth-straight.

> Gonzaga won its unprecedented ninth-straight West Coast Conference regular season championship.

> Junior Jazmine Redmon was tabbed the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year. She is only the second Zag player to garner the honor, joining Jami Schaefer, who claimed the award during the 2007–08 campaign.

> Senior Taelor Karr and junior haiden palmer were named All-West Coast Conference. Sophomore sunny Greinacher was tabbed All-WCC Honorable Mention and freshman shelby Cheslek earned

a spot on the WCC All-Freshman team.

> Junior haiden palmer was the West Coast Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player. Senior Taelor Karr and freshman shelby Cheslek earned a spot on the All-Tournament squad.

> Gonzaga head coach Kelly Graves was named West Coast Conference Coach of the Year for the third time in the last four seasons and seventh time overall.

> Senior Taelor Karr finished the year fifth in NCAA Division I in 3-point percentage, hitting 43.7 percent of her long-range shots. Junior haiden palmer ended the year 14th in the nation in steals per game, averaging 3.18 per contest.

Gonzaga reached new heights in 2012–13 , ascending to the top of the basketball world

when the Bulldogs earned their inaugural No. 1 national ranking as well as their first No.

1 NCAA Tournament seed.

The Bulldogs took over the top spot in the Associated Press Top 25 March 4 and

remained there for the final three polls of the season, culminating March 18 when the

Bulldogs remained No. 1 in the final AP balloting of the season. Gonzaga also rose to

No. 1 in the USA Today Top 25 final three regular-season polls and finished 12th in the

final poll following the NCAA Tournament. The AP does not release a final poll following

the completion of the NCAA Tournament.

Gonzaga also reached the 30-win plateau for the first time in school history,

compiling a 32-3 record to surpass the 29 wins achieved in 2002 and 2006.

After losing both the West Coast Conference regular-season and WCC Tournament

titles the previous season, the Bulldogs reclaimed both. The Zags went an improbable

16-0 in the WCC and then won both games in the WCC Tournament to earn a 16th

overall trip to the NCAA Tournament and a 15th straight trip dating back to 1999.

Kelly Olynyk, who redshirted the previous season, became one of the most highly

acclaimed players in the NCAA Division I ranks. He became the third Zag to earn

AP First Team All-America honors and John R. Wooden Award Top 5 All-American

status. Olynyk was also the only player in America to be named both AP First-Team

All-America and Academic All-American First Team in 2012–13. Elias Harris gave the

Zags a tough 1-2 punch underneath as he earned WCC First-Team recognition and was

named the MVP of both the Old Spice Classic and the WCC Basketball Championship.

Head coach Mark Few completed his 14th year as head coach and 24th year overall

in the program with a slew of honors. He was named the national Coach of the Year by

Basketball Times, was accorded U.S. Basketball Writers Association District IX Coach

of the Year recognition and voted by his peers as the WCC Coach of the Year for an

unprecedented ninth time.

The Bulldogs once again played the best of the best, posting wins over Clemson,

Oklahoma and Davidson to win their second Old Spice Classic title in as many tries, the

first coming in 2008. The Zags also downed West Virginia and Baylor at home, defeated

Washington State and Oklahoma State on the road and toppled Kansas State in the

Battle in Seattle.

Gonzaga also made its third appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay, but this time

as the road team when the Bulldogs traveled to Butler and historic Hinkle Fieldhouse.

In one of the most entertaining games ever on College GameDay, the visiting Bulldogs

fell to the homestanding Bulldogs on a buzzer beater.

Seven NCAA Tournament teams dotted the Gonzaga schedule—Oklahoma State,

fellow WCC foe Saint Mary’s, Butler, Oklahoma, Davidson, Illinois and the University of

the Pacific which is set to join the WCC July 1, 2013.

Senior Tate Kelly just missed All-WCC

first-team honors by one second with

his 11th place finish in 24:12 over the

8K Fernhill Park layout to give him WCC

honorable mention honors. He helped the

Bulldogs to third place.

The Bulldogs scored 103 points to

edge the University of San Francisco by

two points for third place. Junior Brent

Felnagle led the next wave of Bulldogs

as four Zags crossed the line from 21st

through 27th. Felnagle was 21st in 24:39,

sophomore Colin O’Neil was 23rd in

24:44, sophomore Nick Roche finished

24th in 24:44 and senior Chris Boyle was

27th in 24:48 to round out Gonzaga’s top

|16 Women’s golf

Gonzaga’s women’s golf put together a mind-numbing

season in 2012–13 in earning the program’s inaugural

berth into the NCAA Regional.

The Zags, who finished second for the second time in

three years at the West Coast Conference Championship,

were the 16th seed in the Central Regional hosted by the

University of Oklahoma. The tournament was played on

the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club.

The 46th-ranked Bulldogs finished 19th overall in the

24-team field that sent the top eight teams to the NCAA

Tournament.

Senior Victoria Fallgren, freshman Raychelle Santos,

and sophomores Alice Kim and Han Wu each finished

in the Top 10 at the WCC Championship and earned

All-WCC accolades. Head coach Brad Rickel was named

WCC Coach of the Year.

Along the way the Zags won four golf tournaments—

the Lady Mustang Invitational, Folino Invitational, UC

Irvine Invitational and the Challenge at Onion Creek.

Santos, who won The Gold Rush and the Folino

Invitational, finished second in the WCC Championship,

two strokes off the lead. Fallgren, who was the medalist

in 2011, finished tied for sixth. Kim, who won the UC

Irvine Invitational, also became the first Bulldog to play in

a LPGA event when she received a sponsor exemption

into the KIA Classic. Wu, who tied for first at the

Challenge at Onion Creek with a school-record 54-hole

score of 210, was ninth in the WCC chase.

Gonzaga also continued its climb up the national

rankings. The Bulldogs finished 51st in the Golfweek

in the Golfstat rankings after being in the Top 100 for the first time last season. In 2007-

The Bulldogs had a 74.643 strength of schedule in 2013. Three times this season

the Bulldogs broke the school 54-hole record of 896, shooting an 891 at the Oregon

State Invitational, an 882 at the Cougar Cup and an 862 at the Challenge at Onion Creek.

Off the course, Fallgren, Genavive Dodge and Kim were named to the WCC All-

baseballThe Gonzaga baseball program continued to surge with

its sixth 30-win season in the past seven years under

head coach Mark Machtolf. The Bulldogs stormed

through the season and clinched the West Coast

Conference regular-season title a full two weeks

before the rest of the league finished playing. By

dropping only one of its eight series against WCC

foes, the Zags entered the inaugural WCC Baseball

Championship Tournament as the top seed at Banner

Island Ballpark in Stockton, Calif., with the opportunity

to earn a berth into the NCAA Baseball Championship

tournament.

The Bulldogs highlighted the WCC end of the year

awards by claiming three of the five major awards.

Machtolf earned his second Coach of the Year honor,

two-way player Marco Gonzales claimed his second

Player of the Year Award and Tyler Olson took home

Pitcher of the Year honors. In addition, the Zags had six

players listed on the All-WCC team, one on the All-WCC

Freshman team and five on the All-Academic team.

Gonzaga found its success started on the mound.

Both Gonzales and Olson were sensational for the

Bulldogs pitching staff. The two finished first and

second , respectively, in the WCC in strikeouts and

they combined for a 16 victories. Olson led the WCC in

victories with nine and in games started by the left-

handed pitchers the Zags were 21-9.

Recognized for his skills as a pitcher and hitter,

Gonzales was named the John Olerud Two-Way Player

of the Year. The award is given to the best combo-player

in the nation. He was also a semifinalist for the Golden

Spikes Award which recognizes the best player in the

nation. Gonzales became the highest picked Bulldog

in the MLB draft when he was selected with the 19th

overall pick by the Saint Louis Cardinals.

Although the team did not earn a berth into the

NCAA tournament, the national prominence of the

program continued to rise with the Bulldogs earning a

national ranking as high as No. 21.

men’s golfAn exciting two weeks capped off an impressive season

for the Gonzaga University men’s golf team in 2012–13.

The Bulldogs won the Wyoming Cowboy Classic,

their final tune-up prior to the West Coast Conference

Championship and used that momentum to tie for third

overall at the league championship; their highest finish at

the championship in school history.

The tournament title at the Cowboy Classic was

Gonzaga’s first since 2005 and the third in program

history. The Bulldogs shot a final-round 275 for a 36-

hole winning score of 574. Not only did the Zags final

round of 275 help secure the six-shot victory over the

University of Colorado, it was their lowest 18 round

output in school history.

At the WCC Championship, Gonzaga posted an

even-par 288 on the final day—three strokes better than

the next closest squad—and ended the tournament with

a 54-hole 880. The Bulldogs finish broke last year’s best

finish of fourth place.

The play of sophomore James Fahy and freshman

Sean Walsh was crucial to the success of the Zags. Fahy

ended the tournament in second—the highest-ever finish

of a Zag at a WCC Championship—with a 3-day, 54-hole

score of 214 (76-70-68). He was four strokes off the

win. Walsh, playing in his first conference tournament,

claimed third place with a final score of 215 (72-73-70).

The finish of both Fahy and Walsh allowed both to

earn All-West Coast Conference honors. It is the second

time in school history two or more Zags made All-

Tourney, the other coming in 2009 with Derek Cheney

and Kyle Huus making the squad.

Walsh was also tabbed the WCC Freshman of the

Year; joining just Brandon Crick (2007) as the only Zags

to claim the accolade.

men’s RowingThe Gonzaga University men’s rowing team continued

its excellence on the water, earning a bid to the 2013

Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) National

Championships. It was the fifth time in six years the

Zags made the national championship.

It was a record breaking championship for the

Bulldogs Open 4+ as it finished 11th at the regatta; the

highest finish in school history. The Zag Open 4+ placed

fifth in the Petite Final on the final day to capture 11th

place and best the 2000 Gonzaga Open 4+ boat that

took 12th.

The Bulldog Varsity 8+ claimed fourth place in the

Fourth Final to finish 22nd overall in the nation, while

the Second Varsity 8+ finished 18th in the nation after

placing sixth in the Third Final.

Gonzaga earned the automatic berth to the IRA

National Championships by having its Varsity 8+ take

first place at the Western Intercollegiate Rowing

Association (WIRA) Championships. The Bulldogs also

took silver in the Novice 8+, placed fifth in the Junior

Varsity 8+ and retained the West Coast Conference

Hamer, from Spokane’s Mead High, was a

second-team selection in 2011. He started all 16 of

his appearances in ’12 and provided experience and

leadership in the midfield for the Zags. He had one

assist.

Gonzaga went 4-14-1 overall and 0-11-1 in the WCC.

Gonzaga men’s soccer was honored for the 10th straight

year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of

America for academic excellence. The Bulldogs posted

a 3.24 grade point average to receive a NSCAA Team

Academic Award.

James Matern was named to the West Coast

Conference Men’s Soccer All-Academic team , while

Casey Ames, Ryan Caballero, Zach Hamer, Erik Nielsen,

Andrew Owenson, Nate Pacheco and Clark Philips

earned honorable mention.

Gonzaga also hired Paul Meehan as an assistant

coach in April, 2013. Meehan was most recently the

head coach at Corban College in Salem, Ore., after

serving as an assistant coach at Oregon State

University.

Women’s soccerGonzaga University sophomore defender/forward

Cricket Harber, senior defender Morgan Manchester and

freshman forward Lauren Luke were each named to the

All-West Coast Conference women’s soccer honorable

mention squad in 2012. Luke was also tabbed to the All-

Freshman Team.

Harber closed out the year with one goal and one

assist, while helping the Bulldogs secure four shutouts.

Manchester ended her career starting 65-straight

matches dating back to her freshman campaign,

including all 20 in 2012. The backbone of the Zag

defense, Manchester also helped the team lock-up four

shutouts, and finished tied for second on the squad with

three assists and scored her first collegiate goal.

Luke became the eighth player in the past eight

years, and first since 2009, to earn All-Freshman honors

after she scored a team-tying high four goals, including

two in league play. Her first league goal was the

tying goal in the Bulldogs 1-1 overtime tie against the

University of Portland; the tie being the first non-loss

against the nationally-recognized Pilots in 21 matches.

Gonzaga ended the year 8-11-1 and 1-6-1 in the

WCC.

The Bulldogs earned the National Soccer Coaches

Association of America Academic Team Award after

posting a 3.54 grade point average. The Zags GPA

finished in the top 25 in the country overall and tied for

16th among NCAA Division I institutions.

Five Gonzaga players were named to the 2012 West

Coast Conference All-Academic Team. Senior Emma

Dolcetti was named first-team, while Manchester, junior

Emily Eckmann, and sophomores Tori Lee and Katey

Pennington all earned honorable mention accolades.

men’s tennisSophomore Alvaro Nazal had a season to remember

for the 2012–13 Gonzaga men’s tennis team. Nazal

shattered a program single-season wins mark with 27

during his second season in the program. The previous

best was 23, held by Scott Sullivan and Marco Antonio

Pineda in 2012 and 2007 respectively. His triumphs were

recognized by the West Coast Conference as Nazal was

named to the All-WCC first team singles team, the first

Bulldog to be listed since Eduardo Kohlberg in 2001.

The young Bulldogs saw three freshman play quality

matches for them. Hayden Smith, Vicente Varas and

Joey Brandt combined for 27 victories for head coach

Peter MacDonald. Varas impressed with seven wins

coming in the spring dual season. However the squad

was paced from the senior leadership of Levin Guillermo

and Olivier Jamin. Both Guillermo and Smith were

permanent fixtures in the Zags lineup to produce strong

seasons.

In doubles it was Nazal and Pablo Mosquera Pérez

who set the tone for the Zags. The tandem won a team

best 12 matches.

Women’s tennisIn record breaking fashion, the Gonzaga women’s

tennis team saw its single-season wins mark passed

by Samantha Polayes. The freshman took the West

Coast Conference by storm by finishing the year with

20 victories including 13 in the spring season. Polayes

was not the lone freshman playing significant matches

for head coach D.J. Gurule, a quartet of rookies battled

on the court this year. Isabell Klingert, Franziska Koehler,

Melanie Yates and Polayes racked up 37 wins in the

spring dual season giving the program great optimism for

the future.

Two sophomores earned All-West Coast Conference

honorable mentions for the Bulldogs as well. Katie

Edwards and Kylie Peek played as the top two singles

competitors for the Zags and were recognized for their

performances. The two also teamed up in doubles to

lead the squad with seven victories in the spring season.

VolleyballGonzaga volleyball found its attack bolstered the

moment redshirt freshman Savannah Blinn stepped on

the court. In her debut season in a Bulldogs uniform, the

outside hitter punished opponents with kills down the

line. Dangerous both offensively and defensively, Blinn

led an upstart Zags club in kills (287), service aces (42)

and blocks (21). For her contributions on the court, Blinn

was named to the All-West Coast Conference Freshman

team. She was also named to the all-tournament teams

for all four the team participated in.

Head coach Dave Gantt also found a gem in

freshman Jordan Gasser who was second on the team

in kills. With Blinn and Gasser on the outside, Gonzaga

relied on Kylie Edinger and Meredith Crenshaw as

middle blockers. Edinger was recognized by the WCC

for her performances with All-WCC honorable mention

accolades. The libero, Kristina Lavrisha, played admirably

and led the squad with 375 digs.

The team opened the season 8-5 in non-conference

matches, but a rash of injuries depleted the Zags as they

finished WCC play with a 1-15 record.

The 2012–13 academic year continued

our tradition of academic excellence

with 143 student-athletes earning

Dean’s or President’s List honors

in the Fall or Spring semesters. In

addition to these individual accolades,

the department as a whole continued

to excel across the board with all

sports posting cumulative GPAs over

3.0 at the close of the academic year.

May also saw the Athletic Department

celebrate alongside 60 graduating

Zags, 12 of whom graduated with

University honors, and 23 being

inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, the

National College Athlete Honor

Society. We are incredibly proud of

the graduating seniors who have so

expertly demonstrated the balance

between academics and athletics

throughout their careers here at

Gonzaga.

Finally, and perhaps most notably,

the department’s Federal Graduation

Rate continues to rise. The most

recent report saw Gonzaga’s four

year class average increase to an

impressive 83% (a 3% increase from

the prior year’s report). Likewise,

Gonzaga’s performance on the NCAA’s

Graduation Success Rate (GSR), which

factors in transfer students and those

students who departed Gonzaga while

still eligible for competition, remains

among the nation’s best at 95%!

Life skills program In upholding the mission of Gonzaga University, the Life

Skills Program strives to enhance the overall experience

of Gonzaga’s student-athletes by developing each

individual within the Jesuit philosophy of cura personalis,

care of the whole person. The Program provides

educational opportunities, services, and resources that

enrich the total development of Gonzaga student-athletes

by focusing on five commitment areas in alignment with

the NCAA’s Student-Athlete Affairs Department: athletic

excellence, academic excellence, personal development,

career development, and service. To support student-

athletes on and off the playing field and to prepare them

for life after college, the Program works collaboratively

with campus and community organizations to further its

efforts in providing services that develop transferable

skills—athletically, academically, personally, and

professionally.

29 life skills

personal developmentThe Life Skills Program strives

to educate student-athletes on

areas essential for their athletic,

academic, and personal success.

Student-athlete well-being was

addressed during the 2012–13

year through the following

programs:

alCOhOl aWaReNess Jason Kilmer, Ph.D., Addictive

Behaviors Specialist, presented

“Beer, Beliefs and the Bar Lab:

Does Drinking Really Make Us

More Social?” to all student-

athletes in October. He discussed

his research, which showed that

perception has a strong impact

on whether or not people believe

they are intoxicated. In addition,

he highlighted the negative impact

that alcohol consumption can

have on sleep cycles. Follow-

up messages were reinforced

in the New Athlete Orientation

course by upper-class S.A.A.C.

team representatives. Kilmer

was brought to GU via campus

partnerships with the Student

Wellness Resource Center.

sOCial MeDia aND peRsONal BRaNDiNGLeslie Barnes, Director of Student-

Athlete Development at Duke,

visited GU’s campus to work with

the Leadership Institute, but also

made time to present at a S.A.A.C.

meeting in September. Barnes

presented on how important

social media can be to a student-

athlete’s personal brand. She

asked the student-athletes to

consider what they want their

personal brand to be and whether

or not their activity on social

media is enhancing that brand or

tarnishing it.

ViOleNCe pReVeNTiON/BysTaNDeR eDuCaTiONGreen Dot is a nationally

recognized program that educates

students, faculty, and staff on

how to prevent power based

personal violence. The program

provides bystander training and

offers techniques for students

to intervene and minimize

violence. At their request, the

training was facilitated to the

men’s rowing team and was also

introduced during the New Athlete

Orientation course for this year’s

freshmen class. This year, the

men’s rowing team organized a

Green Dot Awareness race in the

fall to educate people about power

based personal violence.

DiVeRsiTyThe University Multicultural

Education Center (UMEC) hosted

the Diversity Monologues and

special guest Kelly Zen Yie Tsai

in March. Athletics was a partner

for this event. This year’s theme

was “Transformation” and it

was connected to Gonzaga’s

125th Celebration. The purpose

of the event is to inform and

highlight the value of human

difference through the stories of

our students, to exercise critical

thinking and reflection in order to

stimulate personal growth, and

to build community and individual

acceptance and appreciation of

human difference.

spORTsMaNshipThe WCC continued its

REPRESENT sportsmanship

campaign during the 2012–13

year. REPRESENT, launched

during the 2010–11 year, includes

the promotion of sportsmanship

at each WCC campus and

recognizes worthy teams and

individuals for their display of good

sportsmanship. Two Gonzaga

programs were recognized during

the 2011–12 year by their peer

WCC teams for practicing good

sportsmanship, men’s soccer

and women’s soccer. Teams

nominate other WCC teams based

on their players, coaching, and

fan behavior, game environment,

and positive media and marketing

initiatives.

A student-athlete selected as Zag of the Month

exhibits effort and excellence in academics,

leadership, integrity, campus involvement, community

service, dedication to team, and the ability to serve as

a role model for current and future GU students and

student-athletes. Each month S.A.A.C. nominates and

selects one of their peers for the award.

student-athlete Leadership instituteThe Student-Athlete Institute, in its third year, is designed to

further develop student-athletes’ leadership skills as students,

athletes, and leaders on campus and in the community.

Members were selected to participate in the developmental

program to further improve themselves as mentors and leaders

on their respective teams and on the Student-Athlete Advisory

Committee.

The 2012–13 Leadership Institute met regularly throughout

the year and participated in team building exercises, behavior

and leadership style assessments, and group discussion

sessions. Guest speakers from across campus also facilitated

sessions and conversations surrounding the meaning of

leadership and various styles and techniques for the student-

athletes to apply in their day-to-day lives. Current S.A.A.C.

officers visited the group and discussed how they approach

leadership and how they lead their peers. Leslie Barnes from

Duke University also came in and facilitated the DiSC with the

group. DiSC is the leading personal assessment tool used to

improve work productivity, teamwork and communication.

DiSC profiles help teams and organizations establish a common

language to improve communication and reduce conflict.

career developmentThe Life Skills Program prepares student-

athletes for their futures following

graduation and life after sport through a

variety of career development programs

and individual career counseling. Close

relationships and collaboration with GU’s

Career Center and Gonzaga Alumni

Mentoring Program (GAMP) further

support student-athletes with their career

planning.

The second annual Senior Student-

Athlete Résumé Book was published

this year. The book features portfolios

of the graduating class of 2013. Each

of their résumés displays the unique

achievements and accolades they earned

as a Zag. The goal of the book is to assist

student-athletes in networking with GU

alumni, supporters, and constituents as

they pursue their future careers. Multiple

résumé workshops were offered

throughout the spring to assist seniors in

developing and refining their résumés.

A new event this year was the Senior

Athlete Networking Event. The purpose

of this event was to help prepare our

senior student-athletes for life after

graduation. They had the opportunity

to practice networking and self-

promotion skills with athletic department

constituents and invited guests.

They were exposed to a real world,

professional networking environment.

Different from a career fair, this event

was about developing relationships with

professionals and gaining confidence and

perspective as they leave Gonzaga and

build their careers. It was a great success

and we look forward to including it in our

career development programming for the

years to come.

Another service available to GU’s

student-athletes is Career Athletes.

This organization provides an online

forum for former and current Zags to

network and connect with one another.

The online Career Athletes community

offers alumni the opportunity to serve as

mentors to current student-athletes. Job

student-athlete advisory committee (s.a.a.c.) S.A.A.C. is comprised of representatives from each

Gonzaga athletic team whose main purpose is to serve

as a student-athlete voice regarding student-athlete

welfare within Gonzaga’s Athletic Department, the

WCC, and the NCAA. S.A.A.C. hosts annual events to

build camaraderie across all of Gonzaga’s intercollegiate

teams. A Welcome Back Bowling Night, Student-Athlete

Winter Formal, and a Baseball Tailgater and Baggo

Tournament were improved and continued during

2012–13. S.A.A.C. is also integral to providing volunteer

opportunities to student-athletes. The organization

hosted annual collections at home basketball games,

benefiting GU’s Campus Kitchens, Page Ahead, and

Clothes4Souls. In addition, S.A.A.C. representatives

served as leaders and facilitators during the Fall 2012

New Athlete Orientation course for the freshmen

student-athletes.

One annual goal of the Athletic Department is

to develop and effectively manage a balanced

operational budget, while at the same time grow

current revenue streams and identify new revenue

sources for Gonzaga Athletics. Although operating

costs continue to rise, the Athletic Department has

once again operated within a balanced budget and

continued to reduce debt. The ability to generate

excess net revenue dollars to fund enhancements,

while still making both scheduled and additional

payments towards its debt obligations, is a prime

example of the Department’s commitment to

operating in a fiscally responsible and disciplined

manner.

Athletic Department growth has been

consistent with growth of the overall University,

with enhancements coming through self-generated

funds in the form of excess net revenues. This has

allowed Gonzaga Athletics to become increasingly

less reliant on institutional support, thus diminishing

the impact on the University’s budget. In 2012–13,

Gonzaga’s athletic budget represented 5.3% of

the University’s overall operating budget (net of

scholarships).

The included numbers are based on current estimates. Final fiscal year records may vary.

A full scholarship at Gonzaga

was valued at $43,825 for the

2012–13 school year, leading

to a total scholarship expense

of over $4.2 million. This is

an annual budgetary expense

that Gonzaga Athletics must

fund out of its annual budget.

Nonetheless, Gonzaga still lags

behind its peers in the amount

of athletically-related student aid

granted to student-athletes and

in aid per participant. Gonzaga

offered 100.85 scholarships

towards the NCAA maximum

of 149.2 scholarships allowed

for sports in which Gonzaga

competes, which leaves it 48.35

scholarships short of being a

fully-funded program.

Gonzaga University continued to gain media exposure

opportunities in 2012–13, with men’s and women’s

basketball and baseball generating the bulk of the

exposure through print, website, radio and television.

Men’s basketball had every regular-season and

post-season game televised in 2012–13, with 19 of their

36 games broadcast on the ESPN family of stations,

highlighted by their appearance on ESPN College Game

Day. With the last 17 games of the 2003–04 season

televised, the Bulldogs now have a streak of 320

consecutive regular-season and postseason games being

televised. Gonzaga games were also televised locally

on KHQ-TV and regionally on ROOT SPORTS. All games

were aired on 1510 KGA radio in Spokane, 1410 KTEL

in Walla Walla, 960 AM KALE in the Tri-Cities, and new

radio affiliate 1030 KMAS in Shelton, WA. New affiliates

1020 KWIQ in Moses Lake and 900 KKRT in Wenatchee

aired the final six games in 2012–13, and will be joined

by new affiliates in Seattle and St. Maries, Idaho as full

broadcast partners next season.

Women’s basketball was featured through 17

television appearances locally, regionally and nationally.

Ten West Coast Conference games were among the 17

televised and 12 of the 17 broadcasts originated from

the McCarthey Athletic Center. Five times the Zags were

broadcast nationally through the ESPN family of stations,

NBC Sports Network, or BYUtv. Gonzaga’s First Round

NCAA Tournament game played in the McCarthey

Athletic Center against Iowa State was televised on

ESPN2. For the fourth consecutive season all games—

home and away—were broadcast on radio in Spokane by

KEYF 1050.

Baseball also was featured on television with seven

games shown locally on SWX. Fourteen Bulldog baseball

home games were broadcast on the radio on 1510 KGA.

The two playoff games of the WCC Baseball Tournament

were streamed online through the WCC Digital Network.

The 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field

West Preliminary Round competition for Brent Felnagle

(1500 meters), Emily Thomas (10,000 meters) and

Lindsey Drake (5000 meters) held in Austin, Texas, was

streamed live on the University of Texas website.

On the print side, GU garnered attention coast-to-

coast from the Spokesman-Review to the USA Today.

The Zags were featured in national print publications,

including Kelly Olynyk’s appearance on the cover of

Sports Illustrated and Basketball Times. Gonzaga was

also featured on the major sports websites such as

ESPN.com, CBSsports.com, Foxsports.com, SI.com, and

Sportingnews.com.

|38 bulldog club

purposeThe Bulldog Club is the official annual fundraising

organization dedicated to supporting Gonzaga Athletics.

Gifts to the Bulldog Club are instrumental in providing

funding to bridge the gap between institutional support

and departmental priorities.

Specifically, donations to the Bulldog Club help to

fund Scholarships, Academic Support Services, Athletic

Training and Strength & Conditioning, Team Budgets

(including recruiting, travel and equipment), and Facilities.

With your support, Gonzaga can continue to recruit,

educate and train the best and brightest student-

athletes. In giving to the Bulldog Club, you are supporting

the Zags in our mission of excellence.

Zags golf classicThe support of this event is one of the many things that

make being a Zag so special. Played annually at Manito

Country Club, the Zags Golf Classic is a great opportunity

for our coaches, staff, and student-athletes to meet the

supporters that allow us to continue to operate as a

premier athletics department. This year as golfers made

their way through the course, Gonzaga student-athletes

and coaches were on hand to interact with golfers and

thank them for their support.

The evening was capped off with a fantastic banquet

and silent auction. All the funds raised from the Zags

Golf Classic go directly to supporting the mission of the

Bulldog Club. This year the Zags Golf Classic raised over

$67,000 dollars for the Bulldog Club.

anthony’s scholarship dinnerThe Anthony’s Scholarship dinner was moved to October

and retooled to become the premier kickoff event for

the men’s and women’s basketball seasons. Both men’s

and women’s basketball student-athletes along with

their coaches mingled with donors while enjoying the

fantastic view and food from Anthony’s at Spokane Falls.

The event featured a question and answer session with

student-athletes from both teams and a live auction

with a number of great items for bid. The evening

was capped off by an in-depth look at the upcoming

basketball season by head men’s basketball coach Mark

Few and head women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves.

This year the Anthony’s scholarship dinner raised over

$29,000 for the Anthony’s scholarship.

sports agency fundraisingOn top of the fundraising work done by the Bulldog Club,

each sport is encouraged to fundraise for their specific

sports agency account which is used to help further

their programs. Donations help offset budget expenses,

pay for extra team travel and program enhancements.

Through the fundraising efforts of our coaches and

student-athletes, this year we saw a 38% increase

in donations specifically designated to sports agency

accounts.

youARe A RepResentAtive of gonzAgA’s Athletics inteRest if you hAve eveR:

1. Been a member of any organization promoting Gonzaga’s athletic program (ie. the Bulldog Club).

2. Made financial contributions to the Gonzaga University Athletic Department.

3. Been a season ticket holder in any sport.

4. Helped to arrange employment of or provided any benefits to prospective or enrolled student-athletes.

5. Promoted the athletic programs at Gonzaga University.

> As an athletics representative, you may not be

involved in recruiting a prospective student-athlete.

A prospective student-athlete is a student who has

started classes for the ninth grade or is enrolled

at a two-year college. The only individuals that are

permitted to recruit are Gonzaga’s coaching staff for

each respective sport. Please forward the prospective

student-athlete to Gonzaga Athletics for information

regarding the athletic programs.

> An athletics representative may not employ or arrange

for the employment of a prospective student-athlete

until after he or she has signed a National Letter of

Intent and has graduated from high school. You may

employ a current student-athlete provided he or she

has registered the job with the athletic department

compliance office and received approval to begin

working.

> An athletics representative may not have in-person

or telephone contact or written correspondence with

a prospective student-athlete.

This includes leaving written

messages for recruits on

Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter

web pages. If you are caught

having impermissible contact with recruits, penalties

could be as severe as complete disassociation,

meaning your relationship with Gonzaga Athletics

could be terminated.

> ALWAYS ASK BEFORE YOU ACT. If you are unsure of

any of the regulations between prospective or current

student-athletes and athletics representatives, please

do not hesitate to contact the Athletic Department

compliance office.

Follow the NCAA rules and we can together ensure the

success of Gonzaga Athletics. If you have any questions

regarding NCAA rules or regulations, please contact the

compliance office at compliance@athletics.gonzaga.edu.

It is the shared responsibility of all those associated

with Gonzaga Athletics—employees, student-

athletes, individuals (“boosters”) and organizations

promoting Bulldog athletics interests—to be in full

compliance with NCAA, West Coast Conference

and institutional rules.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has

been identified as an institutional “representative

of athletics interest,” the individual retains that title

for life. Gonzaga University is ultimately responsible

for the behavior of all athletics representatives

in relation to NCAA rules and regulations.

Violations of NCAA regulations by an athletics

representative could result in the loss of eligibility

for involved student-athletes (e.g., no participation

in competitions) and/or severe sanctions against

the University (e.g., loss of scholarships, television

bans and post-season bans) and/or disassociation

with that individual.

As a representative of athletics interest, there

are rules to remember when it comes to assisting

Gonzaga’s student-athletes.

> An athletic representative may not provide

any type of extra benefit to a prospective

or enrolled student-athlete or their family or

friends. Examples of extra benefits include,

but are not limited to: cash, gifts, loans or the

co-signing of loans, a vehicle or use of a vehicle,

payment for or arrangement of transportation,

free or reduced cost goods or services, free

or reduced cost housing, concert or sporting

tickets. An individual can become an athletics

representative, if not previously identified as an

athletics representative, if he or she provides

such benefits.

That’s how Gonzaga University’s men’s and women’s

golf and tennis teams might be feeling with the May,

2013, announcement that construction has begun on a

$6.8 million indoor tennis and golf center, funded entirely

through the generosity of donors.

The facility is being built on a vacant 3-acre parcel

at 1220 N. Superior St., a few blocks east of campus,

south of Mission Park, and near the Spokane River. The

approximately 72,000-square-foot structure will offer six

regulation tennis courts and a golf practice area.

“It’s going to be great to finally have a home for our

team, a place where we can gather and a place where

we can practice when the weather is bad. It’s kind of the

icing on the cake for us,” head women’s golf coach Brad

Rickel said.

Head men’s golf coach Robert Gray said many

athletic programs benefit in some way from the new golf

and tennis facility.

“Having a space the team can call home and use at

any time gives us every opportunity to be successful.

We’ve shared spaces in the past and that can be tough

when you have something you want to work on but the

space isn’t available. It’s also great that the space we

currently use will be freed up for other programs to use.

A lot of programs will benefit from this facility,” Gray said.

Tennis, which has been without on-campus courts

since Gonzaga’s soccer facility was built in 2008, was

especially ecstatic with the news.

“It’s maybe cliché, but it’s life-changing. It’s going to

change the way we do almost everything. We’ve always

had unbelievable support from Gonzaga and the athletic

department, but this new facility shows everybody

outside of Gonzaga how important tennis is to our

athletic department and our university. It’s huge,” said

women’s head tennis coach D.J. Gurule.

Head men’s tennis coach Peter MacDonald said it

will be a positive recruiting tool.

“It’s going to show recruits we are serious about

tennis and they will take us seriously. The level of player

we will be able to attract will be substantially higher,”

MacDonald stated.

The modern facility will provide both tennis and golf

with added teaching and practice technology to help

improve their game.

“There’s a lot of game improvement technology on

the market that can be very beneficial to players. We’ll

be using a number of those, including swing/putting

analyzers, which give a lot of feedback to the players,”

Gray said. “Using that information in the correct way will

help find more consistency, which is so important in golf.

Seeing the flight of the ball will allow them to know how

any adjustments are working.”

Rickel said the facility will primarily be beneficial for

golfers to work on their short game. But that’s not all.

“It will have a huge putting and chipping area. It will

primarily be a short game facility and then we’ll have golf

simulators with all the teaching and training devices so

not only can we get in there and hit balls and be taught,

but we’ll be able to play golf while we’re inside. A club

repair area and locker rooms; all of those amenities will

be a part of the facility,” Rickel said.

While golf has had an on-campus outdoor chip-

and-putt area available, the lack of courts has been a

hardship to tennis. Gurule and MacDonald commended

the players of the past few years for persevering. The

Spokane Racquet Club, five miles southeast of campus,

has been home to the Bulldogs the past five years.

“It’s a testament to our student-athletes who have

been here the last few years. You can say the same with

baseball when they didn’t have a facility and maybe say

the same thing about basketball in the transition before

they got over to the McCarthey Athletic Center; they put

in the work,” Gurule said. “Our student-athletes never

complained we were practicing at six in the morning or

at eleven at night because that’s what we had to do.

Having the ability to go and hit when they want to is

going to be phenomenal. We will take full advantage of

the new facility for sure.”

Gurule also thanked the Spokane Racquet Club.

“They were great to us as far as allowing us to

use the courts when we could. We aren’t their primary

it’s life changing. it’s going to change the way

we do almost everything.

customers. They have members that pay the majority of

the dues year around and I don’t think they could have

done any more for us then they did,” he said.

The new building is scheduled to be finished by

October, and in some ways the coaches and student-

athletes are like kids waiting for Christmas morning.

“We’re excited to get in there and find the best way

to use the facility. With all the space, we’ll be able to do

team practices and have the ability to work on areas of

each player’s game without interfering with one another.

We can have some players on the simulators working

on their long game, while 20 feet away others will be

working on their short game,” Gray said.

MacDonald said the prospect of such a facility is

what got him through some tough times.

“It was a carrot at the end of the stick. The thought

of having our own facility and believing it was going to

happen got us through some of those tough times. All

the traveling back and forth (between campus and the

Spokane Racquet Club) takes its toll,” MacDonald said.

He also noted that student-athletes will now

consistently be able to get their full allotment of the

NCAA-allowable 20 hours of practice per week.

“I don’t think either (tennis) program was able to get a

true 20-hour week in unless we had the team do a ton of

weights or some conditioning and then we could probably

squeeze it out. On average players were probably only

getting about 10 hours on the court a week and that’s not

enough to develop. You might maintain your skills with

that amount of time but you can’t develop as a player

unless you are getting your twenty,” MacDonald said.

The facility will be constructed of steel and insulated

concrete with a brick facade and will include on its main

floor men’s and women’s locker rooms, an athletes’

lounge, training room, and coaches’ offices, said Ken

Sammons, Gonzaga’s director of plant services. A small,

second-floor area will provide for a viewing space and

restrooms. Gonzaga bought the property for the project

in 2007.

yFor the first time in school history, on

March 4, 2013, Gonzaga University

Men’s Basketball was ranked #1 in

both major media and coaches’ polls.

To commemorate this historic

occasion, and to provide funds to

sustain this mark of excellence into the

future, Gonzaga Athletics introduced

the “Celebrating History” campaign.

Through this exclusive, limited

offer, fans and supporters had the

opportunity to show their support

through a contribution of $5,000,

$1,000 or $250 to the Endowment

for Men’s Basketball, the purpose

of which is to provide funds for the

enhancement of the Men’s Basketball

program.

As a thank you, each donor was

provided with a commemorative,

limited edition framed panoramic

photograph of the McCarthey Athletic

Center taken on March 2, 2013 during

making Gonzaga the #1 team in the

land.

Donors at the $5,000 level, limited

to 125, were provided with a deluxe

framed photo signed by members

of the 2012–13 Gonzaga Men’s

Basketball team and coaching staff.

Donors at the $1,000 level, limited

to 250, were provided with a deluxe

framed photo signed by the coaching

staff, while donors at the $250 level,

limited to 1,000, were provided with a

The Celebrating History campaign

proved to be a very popular way for

fans to demonstrate their support for

the program, and to provide funds

that will work to sustain and enhance

the Men’s Basketball program in

perpetuity.

There’s a limited opportunity

remaining to take advantage of this

special offer to support Gonzaga

Basketball and receive your own

commemorative panoramic photo. To

DiVeRsifieD GReaTNessAs a department, we have a responsibility to be

equitable in the opportunities we provide our student-

athletes and coaches because we expect greatness on

multiple layers—individually, throughout each team, and

throughout the department entirely. Isolated successes

are not enough. In the absence of greatness at one

or more of these layers, we fail in our pursuit. Society

embraces a winner, and we believe achievement breeds

inspiration—of the self, of peers, and of the community.

Our student-athletes—our leaders—must inspire. And

so they all must achieve. Without achievement, our

student-athletes have less of an opportunity to impact

our institution’s mission and have less of an opportunity

to extend greatness beyond their sport. Finally, without

greatness throughout our department, there is no

distinction between “us” and “them.”

passiON fOR suCCessSuccess must not be defined simply by winning or

losing games, matches, races, or contests. Instead,

we believe there are many components that must

coexist for success to truly be achieved. Strong

academics, social consciousness, accountability,

leadership, commitment to community, and diversified

greatness for all eighteen (18) of our sports comprise

the foundation. It is the courage to take risks, to refuse

to see limitations, and to sustainably prevail across all

programs that define our success. It is the contribution

of many individuals to create a deep and varied

culture combined for a common goal—a broad-based,

nationally-renowned athletic program.

Through athletic scholarship, we are affording the

opportunity to a uniquely-talented student to be part of a

caring, supportive, disciplined environment where they

will be formed into a better individual, a better leader,

who in turn impacts his or her team, our institution, and

the greater community during and after their educational

careers. We are educators of young people, and the

teachable moments often happen in ways unrelated to

the outcome of the game. It is in the process of winning

or losing that our student-athletes learn discipline,

work ethic, social responsibility, character, and what it

means to be a teammate, a citizen, and a role model. It

is through these educational experiences that we work

to develop the mind, body, and spirit of each student-

athlete so they can learn from failures and capitalize

on successes. As coaches, as staff, and as a university

community, we encourage and expect our student-

athletes to reach beyond what seems possible. It is our

responsibility to ensure that each student-athlete has

the resources and support to rise to that challenge.
