The Lions just got back from a tough weekend on the road. The Lions fell short against both BYU and San Diego. Last Thursday, Brittany Jagger recorded her second double-digit save effort of the season, but it was not quite enough as the Lions fell 3-0 to WCC newcomer BYU in front of 2,700 fans. The Lions traveled back to LA and headed on a bus to San Diego for a match on Sunday. The Lions were tied 1-1 at halftime with the Toreros, but San Diego scored a goal in the last five minutes to win the game. This was the Lions 3rd consecutive loss, but are more than ready to finish strong at home for the last three games of the season. Even with a jam-packed weekend of traveling to both Utah and San Diego, the Lions made time to participate in LMU's Midnight Madness. Midnight Madness is a school wide pep rally to kick off the basketball season. Throughout the rally each of LMU athletics teams danced to a mixture of songs that they put together and choreographed. Junior midfielder and theatre major Kimiko Miyashima choreographed the dance for the Lions. Below are some pictures from the event!    Hopefully we will be able to post their fun and funky dance that they preformed in front of 2,000 people! The dancing Lions are home for their final three matches of the 2011 season, beginning with WCC opponent Portland on Friday, Oct. 28th at 3pm and Santa Clara on Sunday, October 30th at 1pm to close out WCC play. The Lions will then host Seattle on Saturday, November 5th to close out the year. Come out and support the Lions this weekend as they finish up their conference games! GO LIONS!

On
Friday, Darien Pyka and Brianne Medved each tallied goals as the LMU women's soccer team handed
Saint Mary's its first home loss of the season in a 2-1 final in Moraga.
The win moved LMU to 7-5-2 overall and 1-1-1 in WCC play, while also snapping a
five-game winless streak. After the win the Lions had dinner at Senior defender Marissa Zamora's house in Danville, CA. Junior midfielder Cori McGovern was also able to stop by her house in Danville on the way to Marissa's home. She ran through her whole house, pet her dog, pet her cat and ran back in the van to head to Marissa's! It is always nice to go to a family's home when on the road. Thank you Zamora's for having the team!
On Sunday, Battling the No. 5 ranked team in the
nation, the LMU women's soccer team put up a fight, but ultimately fell 2-0 to
Pepperdine. The Lions move to 7-6-2 on the season and 1-2-1 in conference play. This was a special day for the Lions as it was their designated "Think Pink" game to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Lions wore pink uniform shorts, pink sweatbands, pink shoelaces and pink wristbands to
show their support of the most common cancer for women. A lot of the players
know someone directly who has been affected by cancer making this a very
special way to honor their friends and family. Some players honored their loved ones by
writing their names on their sweatbands with permanent marker. Below is a
picture of Whitney Sharpe, Yiana Dimmit and Rachel Fell wearing their pink
proudly.
After splitting the games this past weekend
with a win and a loss, the Lions are looking to beat WCC newcomer BYU on
Thursday and San Diego on Sunday. Both games are on the road, but the Lions will
return home Friday, October 28th vs. Santa Clara and Sunday,
October 30th vs. Portland. Make sure to follow the Lions this weekend
and we hope to see you when the Lions come home to wrap up WCC play in two weeks!
GO LIONS!
The Lions
traveled to USF on Friday night to open conference play. Above is a picture of the
team doing some sight seeing at the Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately, a late second half push, capped by sophomore defender Etajha Gilmer, left the LMU women's soccer team just short in it's conference opener in a 2-1 final score. LMU found itself down 1-0 just four minutes into
play. The Lions controlled the game outshooting the Dons 7-3 in the first half
and 16-9 in the entire game. Going into the second half down 1-0, the Dons extended
their lead to 2-0. The Lions continued to fight and Gilmer was able to send a ball in the back of the net off of Linda Bakker's
corner kick with 5 minutes remaining in the game. LMU was able to get two more shots off before the final whistle. Bakker's
shot went high and Brianne Medved's shot went right over the crossbar. This was
a tough loss on the road for the Lions. They were eager to get back home to
face the Gonzaga Bulldogs for their 100th Anniversary Centennial Match. 
Above is a photo
of the Lions before their conference home opener against the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
LMU athletics is celebrating their 100th Anniversary this year and has
designated a game for each sport to represent the celebration match. This past
Sunday was the women's soccer team's Centennial Match. In LMU's third overtime
game of the season, The Lions and Bulldogs battled to a 0-0 tie in 120 minutes
of play. LMU moved to 6-5-2 on the season
and 0-1-1 in WCC play, picking up their first conference point with the draw. Even though LMU lead the shot count again in this match 9-4, they
were unable to capitalize on a goal. LMU goal keeper Brittany Jagger only had
to make one save in the game.

This Sunday's centennial celebration game lead me to reflect on the many ways the LMU athletic program is so special. The LMU athletic teams have always been very
supportive of each other. At every LMU sporting event you can see student
athletes from different teams in the stands cheering on their fellow Lions. On Sunday, the women's water polo team went above and beyond to support the
LMU women's soccer team. The women's water polo team made cookies with each
girl's number on them along with goodie bags put in each player's locker. They also
put up inspirational notes and quotes around the locker room. Above is a picture
of one of the notes they put up. Thank you women's water polo for your support!
The Lions will travel to St Mary's
this Friday, October 14th and will play at 4pm. They will return
home this Sunday, October 16th at 12 pm against their cross-town
rival Pepperdine Waves. We hope to see you there!
GO LIONS!
Tawni Martino scored her team-leading fourth
goal of the season, but UNLV snapped a tie eight minutes into overtime
and the LMU women's soccer team fell 2-1 to the Rebels in its final
game before opening WCC play next week.
The
Lions headed to Las Vegas on Friday and was able to enjoy some team
bonding on the Las Vegas Strip on Saturday for lunch. Sophomore
transfer Deprise Brazel took some great pictures that you can see

When she isn't on the soccer field she loves taking photos. She has
even entered some of her photos into online contests. Next contest she
enters I will post the link so you can vote!       This was the last preseason game for the Lions. After 11 games the
Lions are currently 6-4-1 going into WCC play. So far sophomore Tawni
Martino is leading the stat count with 10 total points. Martino has

As the 2011-12 Centennial Season
continues for LMU athletics, the first week of October will be a fun one as it
will be a week that features a Wells Fargo PCH Cup showdown on ESPNU on
Wednesday and then is capped by a Centennial Game celebration on Sunday.
On Wednesday, Oct. 5, LMU women's volleyball will host rival
Pepperdine in Gersten Pavilion at 6 p.m. The earlier start time is because
ESPNU will be broadcasting the game nationally. The game will also be the
second of the season in the Wells Fargo PCH Cup Series.
And to top it off, it's a big one in terms of the standings
early in West Coast Conference play. LMU improved to 3-1 in the WCC with a
sweep over Saint Mary's on Saturday and is tied for second. Pepperdine, ranked
19th nationally, is at 3-0 in conference play.
Then on Sunday, Oct. 9 women's soccer will host Gonzaga at
Sullivan Field for its 2011 Centennial Game. Start time of 1 p.m. It will be
the Lions first conference game at home as they travel to San Francisco on
Friday. The Centennial Celebration will offer special promotions, including a
food give-away to the first 100 students. Follow the Lions on Facebook and
Twitter to find out what the give-away will be.
It's all part of a busy week for LMU in conference play.
Men's golf plays Monday and Tuesday up in Reno, Nevada, at the Wolf Pack
Classic, taking on several WCC foes San Diego and Santa Clara in the process.
Then on Thursday, men's water polo returns home to face
conference foe Whittier at the Burns Aquatics Center on Thursday at 3 p.m.
Friday will feature more action at Gersten Pavilion as
women's volleyball hosts a non-conference match with perennial NCAA tournament
participant UC Santa Barbara at 7 p.m.
The action will conclude on Sunday with the Centennial game
for women's soccer. All season the Lions will celebrate the 2011-12 Centennial
Season with special Centennial games for each of its varsity programs. Men's
water polo started the action with a standing-room only crowd of over 800 at
the Burns Center in September, followed by women's volleyball with nearly a
1,000 against BYU last Thursday. Following women's soccer will be a pair of
Centennial Races.
On Oct. 29 men and women's cross country will be at the WCC
Championships and in the process the Lions will celebrate its 100 years at the
races. Also that day, men's rowing will host UCLA at the Bove Boathouse for its
Centennial Race.

 LMU came out of the gates as the aggressor against
Cal State Northridge Friday at Sullivan Field. But despite unleashing four
shots in the opening 13 minutes of play, and 10 for the balance of the game,
the Lions could never find their mark, falling 3-0 to the Matadors. This was a
tough loss for the Lions, but with a new addition, Mental Fitness Coach Katie
Mckee, the Lions look to continue their win streak on the road as they head to
UNLV this weekend. The lions have a clean record of 3-0-0 on the road. I
sat down with Katie and asked her a few questions.
Gabby:
Hi Katie! Can you tell our readers a little bit about yourself?
Katie:
My name is Katie McKee, and I am a Mental Fitness Coach working with the team
this year. I'm from Northern California, Danville specifically just like some
of our players. I went to the University of Redlands. I graduated from Redlands
in 2006 with my BA in Psychology and a Minor in Physical Education. I played 4
years of soccer and 1 year of softball at Redlands. I would have played 4 years
of softball but I was injured and needed surgery the other years. Growing up I
played every sport I could; soccer, softball, tennis, basketball, swim team.
Gabby:
Shout out to Danville, CA! That is where I am from along with Cori McGovern and
Marissa Zamora. Katie, the team seems to be responding well to you. What are
some of the activities you have done with the girls thus far?
Katie:
This year I'm working with the team as the Mental Fitness Coach. What that
means is I'm mental teaching skills to help the team be able to perform at
their best. Some of those skills include goal setting, ways to focus and what
to focus on, helping maintain consistent confidence, breathing, etc. We've done
some team activities this year also. We went to the Tide Pools as a team this
year for some team bonding. We also did a team activity where everyone on the
team, including the coaches, got a piece of a puzzle. Each person had to write
on and/or decorate their piece with what motivates them or inspires them. It
could be a picture, quote, song lyric, movie, etc. When they were done, we put
the puzzle together, framed it, and it's hanging in the locker room. I did this
with them because I believe a puzzle represents a team. Each of us are
individuals on the team and bring something important to that team, and all the
pieces have to be in place for it to be complete. If one piece were missing, we
wouldn't be a team.
Gabby: Above is the picture of the puzzle. The puzzle is so unique and I know that the girls loved it. It was really cool
how you included all of the coaches as well as the players. Do you have any
specific goals for the lions this season?
Katie:
Let's see. Some goals I have for the girls this season are to be able to look
back on the season and know that they did all they could so they feel happy
with themselves.
I would love for all the players and coaches to have also learned one or more
mental skills throughout the course of the season so that they can carry that
with them beyond the soccer field.
Gabby:
Mental skills are very valuable whether you are on the soccer field or off so
that is a very positive and important goal! Have you enjoyed working with the
girls?
Katie:
I absolutely love working with the team this year. It's great to be part of a
college soccer team again. My favorite part is working with the team in a group
or individual setting and to see what we work on make a difference for them.
That's why I got into this profession, and if I can help at least one player or
coach this year, it makes is so worth it!
Gabby:
Thats awesome Katie! Now, can you give me three random facts about yourself?
Katie:
This is probably the hardest question!! Ok. Elephants are my favorite animal.
I've had 5 sports injury related surgeries. And...I'm a milk chocolate kind of
girl!
Gabby:
Thank you Katie! You are a huge asset to this team! For more information about
Katie and her business, click here for Katie's Website.

This weekend the Lions lost in double

on CSU Bakersfield and won 3-0 on Sunday. Sophomore defender Etajha Gilmer
scored for the Lions on Friday while Freshman Linda Bakker scored twice for the
Lions on Sunday and Junior Cori McGovern had the third goal.

GO LIONS! Gabby Parisella class of 2011
 This past
weekend the Lions hooked the Longhorns and won their first game 3-1 at the
University of Texas! They continued to shine on Sunday when they beat Texas
State 1-0. The goal scorers of the weekend were Tawni Martino, Brittney
Sanford, Darien Pyka and freshman Brianne Medved. Even though these girls put
the goals away it was an entire team effort. I talked to the three Lion
captains: Jaide Garcia, Brittney Sanford and Rachel Fell to see what they had to
say about the winning weekend!
Gabby: How was
starting off the season beating a top ranked opponent? (Texas was ranked #18
going into the game on Friday).
Jaide: Starting
off with a big win is exactly what our team needed to get our season going. We
have worked really hard this month and the two wins solidified our confidence
for the games ahead. We really proved our potential this weekend so now we just
have to focus on capitalizing on it. We are determined to make the NCAA
tournament this year and we are off to the best possible start!
Gabby: How is the team
chemistry after the road trip to Texas?
Jaide: The team
chemistry has been great this season and this trip made it better. We are
missing Whitney but she has kept in great touch with us via texting. The
games brought the team together because all 23 players were needed to keep the
energy up to get our wins. We learned how to rely on each other this weekend
and were able to show the 8 new members what being a lion is all about!
Gabby: How important
was not only beating the Longhorns, but beating Texas State for the weekend
sweep on the road?
Rachel: Bringing home
two wins this weekend is massive for us. With no pre season games to prepare us
we went into this weekend inexperienced compared to both teams. We have very
few away games so to capitalize on these is a great way for us to get ahead.
Gabby: What was your
favorite part of the trip?
Rachel: My favorite
part of the trip was the experience we had at the University of Texas. We were
lucky enough to have been given a tour of their football stadium and behind
their facilities. For me, who has never seen the football side of college
athletics, it was a great experience.,,one that many do not get to see. From the
huge stadium to the marble flooring and Heisman Trophy collection, it didn't
take long to feel the high end of college football. Then later that day we
played a hard fought game that all 23 players came together for a historic win.
It was a great day in all.
Gabby: Brittney, What
were your feelings going into the penalty kick knowing that if you scored, your
team would take the lead against the University of Texas? Did you have a
specific approach?
Brittney: My
feelings stepping into take the PK was a mixture of nervousness as well as
confidence. I believe that PKs are just as much mental as they are skillful. I
couldn't think about the repercussions of this penalty kick if I missed.
Instead, I went into the PK knowing that I was going to make it. I stared at
the keepers eyes while running toward the goal and I struck the ball as hard
as I could to the left side of the net. I will never forget it.
Gabby: Do you
have any funny stories from the trip?
Brittney: A few of our
teammates thought it would be funny to steal Ojo, Whitney Sharpe's stuffed
bear. Whitney was unable to attend the trip because of transfer rules with the
NCAA. We were going to miss Whitney and we needed someone to take her place. We
ended up treating Ojo like a part of the team. We documented his trip with us.
He did things like eat pizza, pick up baggage, hydrate etc. We ended up taking
several comedic pictures which gave us all a good laugh...except for whit of
course! Sorry we aren't sorry whit! (pictures of Ojo below)
Sounds like an
amazing weekend filled with great team chemistry, great soccer and a 2-0-0
record! I don't know if you are as superstitious as I am, but it seems to me
that Ojo needs to make an appearance at every home game, get his own plane
ticket and own seat on the bus for every road trip!
Hopefully we
will see YOU and Ojo at the Lions first home game this Friday at 4pm vs. Long Island University!
GO LIONS!

Editor's Note: This is a blog from LMU Athletics Director Dr. William Husak, who will be blogging throughout the 2011-12 season. Here are his first thoughts of the season.
The 2011-12 season is the Centennial campaign of LMU. And it got off to a big start. The women's soccer team beat the University of Texas 3-1 in Austin this evening. Game time temperature was at 101. Back-up goalie Paige Pennington relieved starting goalie Brittany Jagger after Brit suffered an injury and did a commendable job in goal. They played a perfect game plan that saw them overwhelm the Longhorns late. Congrats to the soccer team. GO LIONS!
Women's soccer was previewed in the South Bay Daily Breeze. Check out the story at:
Daily Breeze Sports
The Lions start their season today against Texas at 5 p.m. GO LIONS!
Every week I will be writing a blog giving all of you LMU soccer fans an update on how the girls are doing. So far, the Lions have just wrapped up double days! Double days consisted of fitness testing, 11 v. 11 scrimmages and weight lifting. They are looking great and ready to start the season!
Off the field the lions have done a lot as a team. Along with having team dinners every night, Coach Joe and his family hosted the team at his house for dinner and after dinner the lions surprised a South Bay Force club team at their team party! The Lions answered questions about work ethic, academics and bouncing back from tough losses. The team also went to tide pools in Palos Verdes for some team bonding. The girls hiked down to the tide pools and found a lot of different sea creatures. A lot of girls did not mind touching them, but there were a lot of that would not go near them!
The team is now ready for season to kick off! The lions will leave Thursday to take on the University of Texas (Friday) and Texas State(Sunday)! The Lions will return HOME on Friday, August 26th at 4pm vs Long Island University. We would love to see you there for the 2011 season home opener!
The Lions look forward to your support! Look for an update on how they are doing every week!
GO LIONS!
Welcome to the LMU Lions Blog!
LMU is celebrating its Centennial in 2011-12 and we thought this would be a great opportunity for us to create a blog for multiple members of the Athletics Department to share their thoughts and feelings.
As the year progresses, look for student-athletes to talk about their experiences. For Dr. William Husak, LMU Athletics Director, to give some thoughts. Look for special thoughts from Iggy. And lots more.
Look for more to come very soon. And, the action is about to get started. Women's soccer heads to Texas tomorrow (Thursday) to take on the Longhorns for the first game of this Centennial Season.
As always, GO LIONS!
