Head Coach
Eric Steidlmayer
11th season
Former Triton Eric Steidlmayer begins his 11th season as head
coach of the UC San Diego men’s tennis team in 2009. Regarded
as one of the best tennis teachers in the country, Steidlmayer’s passion for the game and his competitive nature are evidenced by his
team’s tenacity and fiery perseverance. During his first nine seasons
on the La Jolla campus, Steidlmayer has amassed a .622 winning
percentage, posting 125 wins through the first 201 matches of his
coaching career.
In 2008, the Tritons advanced to the NCAA DII National Championships after defeating BYU-Hawaii in the West Regional by a 5-0
score. In the round of 16, the Tritons were edged by Drury by a 5-2
score. The doubles tandems of Eric Rubens and Alex Placek and
Bijan Moallemi and Erik Elliott both earned points for UCSD.
In 2007, the UCSD had its best-ever national finish, completing a
season in which it finished third nationally and posted an 18-7 overall record. UCSD defeated Northwest Missouri State in the Round
of 16 by a 5-0 score before disposing of 8th-ranked Barry University in the National Quarterfinals by a 5-2 margin. The team’s season
came to an end in the National Semifinals, but not before a fight, as
the Tritons played No. 5 Valdosta State very competitively before
falling by a 5-1 score.
The 18 wins during the ‘07 campaign included four over NCAA D-I
opponents and another two against UC Santa Cruz, the NCAA D-III
National Champion, and Azusa Pacific, the NAIA Division I National Runners-Up. Additionally, juniors Blake Meister and Eric Rubens
were honored as ITA All-Americans after posting a 19-4 record together at the top spot on the doubles ladder.
A 14-10 record in 2005-06 in which the squad qualified for the NCAA Division II Tournament, advancing all the way to the Sweet Sixteen before falling to Lynn University by a narrow 5-3 margin. Lynn was the 2006 NCAA D-II National Runner-Up. Without enough
teams in the West Region, Steidlmayer’s squad plays with no conference affiliation during the year, forcing the Tritons to play one of the
toughest Division II schedules in the country on an annual basis. In 2006 alone, Steidlmayer’s squad played 11 matches against NCAA
Division I schools. His team notched an 8-1 record against D-II institutions during that campaign.
Steidlmayer guided the Tritons to a 15-7 record in 2004-05, once again qualifying for the NCAA postseason. The team won its first three
tournament matches and advanced to the NCAA Division II Quarterfinals. UCSD finished in fifth place overall after losing to Armstrong
Atlantic State, who finished the year ranked No. 2 in the ITA poll. Steidlmayer’s squad posted a record of 18-10 in 2003-04, qualifying
for the NCAA Division II Regionals for the fourth-straight year after the move up from Division III in 2000. It was the fifth-straight
postseason appearance for the Tritons.
After the team’s 14-10 record in 2005-06, Steidlmayer’s all-time coaching mark improved to 107-69, building upon his mark as the winningest men’s tennis coach in UCSD history. His win percentage of .608 is the best number in the UCSD men’s tennis annals for coaches
who were on the La Jolla campus for more than one season.
A 1996 UC San Diego graduate who played for three years on the Triton tennis team, Steidlmayer served for two seasons as assistant
tennis coach at UC Davis prior to returning to La Jolla. He also earned a master’s degree in Economics from UC Davis in the fall of
1998. While attending UCSD, Steidlmayer was named the Tritons’ Most Valuable Player after helping them earn a berth in the 1996
Division III National Championships.

Eric Rubens is entering his first season as an assistant to head
coach Eric Steidlmayer during the 2008-2009 school year.
Assistant Coach
“We’re excited to have him coming on board with us,” Steidlmayer said. “It’s great that we’ll have someone right around the same
age as the players to relate with them, not only on the court but off
the court as well.”
Eric Rubens
The main responsibilities for Rubens include assisting with match
and tournament preparation as well as helping with travel arrangements for the squad.
1st season
Rubens, a La Jolla native, graduated from UCSD earlier in 2008
with a degree in Electrical Engineering. As a senior star on the
court, Rubens earned two regional awards from the International
Tennis Association – the ITA Senior Player of the Year award along
with the ITA/Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship. Rubens was named the Player to Watch from the West Region after the 2007 season. In 2008, Rubens captained the Tritons
to the round of 16 in the Division-II National Championships.
Through his four seasons as a Triton, Rubens compiled an overall
singles record of 43-33.

Head Coach
Liz LaPlante
Liz LaPlante completed her 29th season at the helm of the UC San
Diego women’s tennis team in 2008. It was LaPlante’s eighth year
at the NCAA Division II level after 21 seasons during which she
became the most successful coach in Division III women’s tennis
history. Her teams qualified for the NCAA Division III National
Championships a total of 19 times, winning four national titles, finishing second on five other occasions. The Tritons also placed third
nationally three times while at the D-III level.
30th season
During her 29 years on the La Jolla campus, LaPlante has amassed
a .706 winning percentage with her 453-189 overall record. She has
posted double digit victories in all but three of her 29 campaigns
at the helm, and has notched winning seasons in all but one. Only
twice in her career has she ever had a team with double digit losses while recording 20 or more wins on four different occasions.
The 2008 season was another banner year for the women’s tennis program as LaPlante guided the Tritons to their 5th-straight California
Collegiate Athletic Association title. The team posted a 14-11 overall record and a perfect 10-0 mark in CCAA play. The undefeated
league campaign ran the Tritons’ win streak up to 50-straight in CCAA action, a streak that dates back to the final league match of the
2003 campaign. LaPlante earned her 5th-straight CCAA Coach of the Year award while also placing five of her student-athletes on the
All-CCAA Team. Among those award winners were Kimmi Dao, Justine Ang Fonte, Molly Sullens, Natalie Varnay and Dalya Perelman.
Dao was named Newcomer of the Year.
In addition to the team’s success during the regular season, LaPlante also guided her squad to the NCAA postseason for the 27th-straight
season. The Tritons won their first round matchup, defeating Cal Poly Pomona by a 5-0 margin before traveling to BYU-Hawaii and
losing in the second round by a 5-0 score.
In 2006 LaPlante directed her squad to a 3rd-straight CCAA Championship and amassed a 14-8 overall record and advanced to the
second round NCAA Division II Tournament before being ousted by Hawaii Hilo in a narrow 5-4 decision. UCSD placed four studentathletes on the All-CCAA teams while LaPlante earned CCAA Coach of the Year honors for the 3rd-straight year. Of the four players
to earn All-CCAA honors, Marsha Malinow earned first team honors while the other three were named second team recipients. One of
those second team honorees, Ina Dan, earned CCAA Freshman of the Year accolades.
The 2005 campaign marked the second-straight season that the Tritons went undefeated in conference play, winning its second league
title in as many years in the process. The CCAA title led to another NCAA Championship appearance in which the Tritons won the
NCAA West Regional at home and moved on to the round of 16 in Florida.
While in Florida, UCSD won its round of 16 match and advanced on to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2002. The run through the
NCAA brackets came to an end in the Elite Eight as the Tritons fell to Armstrong Atlantic State University. The team ended the year with
a 20-4 overall record, including LaPlante’s 400th career win, its best mark since the 23-4 campaign in 2002.
2004 marked a season of firsts for the Tritons at the Division II level, going a perfect 8-0 in league play and winning their first CCAA
Championship. Coach LaPlante guided her squad to an 18-9 overall record and a final ranking of No. 15 in the country following her
team’s advancement to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Under LaPlante’s tutelage, 29 Tritons have earned All-American honors, and she was honored for her achievements as the NCAA Division III Coach of the Decade in 1991, as well as earning ITA Division III Coach of the Year honors in 2000.
LaPlante has served as a member of the Western Region Ranking Committee since 1981, and has also been on the ITA National Ranking
Committee and the NCAA National Subcommittee, which governs the national championships for men’s and women’s tennis.
La Plante graduated from San Diego State University in 1979, and played varsity tennis for three years as an undergraduate. Prior to that,
she was one of the top junior players in San Diego County and currently plays club tennis.
Assistant Coach
Timmer Willing
Timmer Willing enters his eighth year as an assistant coach for the
Tritons in 2009. He graduated from Truman State University with
a degree in Exercise Science and Health Education before earning
a master’s in Kinesiology from Indiana University. Prior to coming to La Jolla to coach at UCSD, Willing assisted with the men’s
and women’s tennis programs at Truman State, his alma mater, for
two years.

Earl W. Edwards - Director of Athletics
Earl W. Edwards accepted the position of Director of Athletics at UC San Diego in March, 2000.
Under his guidance, the 23-sport program has made a successful transition from the NCAA Division
III to Division II. In fact, UCSD has surpassed all expectations in Division II, capturing women’s
soccer national championships in both 2000 and 2001, and finishing in the top-10 of the Director’s
Cup standings in four of its first five seasons.
Edwards’ move to UC San Diego represented a homecoming, as he had previously served as Associate
Athletic Director at UCSD from 1987 to 1993. He then took a position as Director of Athletics at
East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. During his seven-year tenure at
the NCAA Division II institution, he served on numerous NCAA committees, including a 1999
appointment to the Division II Management Council. Edwards is also currently a member of the
National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Executive Committee.
Edwards is a 1972 graduate of East Stroudsburg with a master’s degree in Physical Education and
Sports Administration from the University of Massachusetts. In addition to East Stroudsburg, he has athletic administration experience
at UMass, UC Davis, the University of Michigan, Drexel University and UC San Diego. While previously serving at UCSD, Edwards
initiated the Triton Athletic Associates, the athletic department’s primary fund-raising source. Edwards now presides over a UC San
Diego program which is recognized nationally for both its athletic and academic achievements.
CANYONVIEW AQUATIC CENTER
Located on the eastern end of campus, between Eleanor Roosevelt College
and Warren College, the Canyonview Aquatic Center features two outdoor,
Olympic-Size Pools, which can be divided into 8 lanes of 50 meters in length
or 19 lanes of 25 yards in length. The west pool is home to the UCSD men’s
and women’s water polo teams, as well as the men’s and women’s swimming
teams. The east pool is used for recreational swimmers in addition to the
UCSD men’s and women’s diving teams who practice and compete while
the diving boards and platforms used by the UCSD Diving Teams are located
in the complex on the east side.
UCSD POOL QUICK FACTS:
• Two Pools, Heated year-round to 80-85 degrees
• Bleacher seating for 1,500 and an additional
1,000 more on grass
• Men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers
• Lights on the deck accommodate night use
• Diving Area consists of one 5-meter platform,
two 3-meter platforms, two 1-meter platforms
RIMAC ARENA
The Recreation, IntraMural, Athletic Complex (RIMAC) is the cornerstone of the UCSD sports facilities. This nearly 200,000 square
foot facility is located just south of the 12-acre North Campus Recreation Area Field on the northwest corner of the campus. Opened
in January 1995, RIMAC is a multi-purpose facility with the most advanced forms of quality control, state-of-the-art equipment and a
strong staff commitment to customer service. Every room in RIMAC is climate controlled and many of the spaces feature an abundance
of natural lighting. RIMAC houses the offices of the Intercollegiate Athletics, Recreation and Sports Facilities departments. RIMAC also
features a variety of recreational, educational, and meeting spaces which can accommodate a variety of activities.
The RIMAC Arena is a multi-use facility capable of accommodating a wide variety of activities ranging from large spectator events
including ceremonies and concerts to athletic competitions and tournaments. The 44,000 square foot floor is also capable of accommodating
large floor exhibits. The Arena Floor is spring loaded employing the use of Robbins Bio-Cushion I and is curtain divisible for multi-sport
use in basketball (total of five courts), volleyball, and badminton. The arena is furnished with 10 retractable glass basketball backboards,
and floor plates and sleeves for volleyball and badminton. Employing the use of telescopic bleachers and floor seats, the RIMAC Arena
may accommodate up to 5,000 people.
RIMAC is home to the UCSD men and women’s basketball teams along with the men and women’s volleyball squads. Over 50 home
athletic events are contested in RIMAC every year, and with entusiastic support from both the campus and surrounding communities,
the Tritons truly enjoy a home court advantage. Both of the basketball and volleyball teams utilize the main court for both practice and
games, while the auxiliary courts, which are located on the third floor, are used only for practices.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The University of California, San Diego Department of Athletics is committed to actively participating in the community through a
variety of outreach events and services. Student-athletes from 23 sports participate in a wide range of service and outreach programs in
and around the San Diego area.
In 2003-04 the Tritons began the “Team Up!” program. This program
assists local elementary schools that do not have a physical education
component in their current curriculum. UCSD student-athletes provide
healthy physical activity and create an environment for elementary
school students that foster positive thinking and team building. The
program was run at the Del Mar Heights Elementary School in the
morning hours prior to school starting and during the students’ lunch
periods during the past two years.
Triton student-athletes make the holidays brighter for 12 families in
the San Diego area on an annual basis, providing a plethora of gifts
and holiday cheer. Triton teams paired up and each tandem purchased
presents, food, and goodies to deliver to their adopted family before
the holidays. Families were selected by the Neighborhood House
Association which runs the Head Start programs throughout San Diego
County. Student-athletes contacted the families to find out what special
presents the children wanted, as well as what sort of clothing or other needs could be met.
Teams delivered the presents in person and spent time with the families, often playing
games with the children. Families each received approximately $300-$500 worth of
gifts, depending on the number of children. Presents ranged from a bike for one child to
clothing and food for the parents.
In conjuction with the California Collegiate Athletic Association as the Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee, Triton student-athletes have gone to work to raise money for the
Make-A-Wish Foundation in each of the last three years. The student-athletes held a
bake sale during the Annual Sun God Festival on the UCSD campus. Each team brought
baked goods for a sale in the evening prior to the festival’s main event. The goal at each
CCAA member institution was to raise $1 per student-athlete. Triton student-athletes far
exceeded this goal, raising over $1,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2005.
Additionally, the Intercollegiate Athletics Department holds an annual Blood Drive to
benefit the American Red Cross. All coaches, staff and out of season student-athletes
participated in the blood drive, while those student-athletes who were in season recruited
other students on campus to donate blood on their behalf.

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE / SPORTS MEDICINE
Two integral parts of the UC San Diego athletic department are the Athletic Performance Program and the Sports Medicine Program,
both of which provide a tremendous advantage to all 23 of the UCSD intercollegiate sports.
The Athletic Performance Program is geared toward teaching each student-athlete how to achieve the highest level of athletic development
through enhancement of all components of strength and conditioning. Athlete workouts are monitored and planned out by Rob Mamula,
UCSD’s Director of Athletic Performance who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Triton athletics. Mamula represents
the only full-time strength and conditioning coach in the entire CCAA. The Tritons work out in the RIMAC weight room that is over
12,000 square feet in size with state of the art equipment. The UCSD Athlete Performance Program is truly designed with the studentathlete’s enhancement in mind. Very few programs at the Division II level have such expertise and first class facilities at the disposal
of the student-athlete helping to further distinguish the Triton Athletic Department as one of the premier intercollegiate programs in the
country.
The UC San Diego Sports Medicine Center
is the hub for the prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation of athletic-related injuries
suffered by Triton student-athletes. Under
the supervision of head athletic trainer Kevin
Messey MS, ATC, CSCS and his staff, UCSD
athletes receive the highest quality medical
care and access to an extensive network of
physicians and other medical specialists.
The rest of the training room staff is comprised
of two full-time ATCs and an average of 10
athletic training students (ATS). The UCSD
athletic training room is a clinical site for San
Diego State University’s accredited athletic
training education program where some of the
athletic training students fulfill their clinical
experience. Additionally the UCSD Sports
Medicine Center offers a wide variety of
options for examination and rehabilitation.
From acupuncture to a group of six
highly specialized sports medicine, family
practitioners and orthopedic surgeons, the
UCSD training room has a multitude of options
at your disposal to get you healthy and back on
the field of competition in no time.
