matter how much she thinks her Cal Lutheran women’s volleyball team deserves a spot in the NCAA Division III Championships, Kellee Roesel can never rest easy unless the Regals secure an automatic bid.
That meant Roesel had to endure a few restless hours last weekend waiting for the at-large berths to be announced.
But Roesel’s confidence was rewarded on Monday when CLU’s name appeared in the draw for the fourth time in the last five years.
“We are excited to be in it, but I want to win it,” Roesel said. “I am competitive and so are these girls, so after we spent an afternoon being happy about making it, it was back to business in the gym.”"

VC draws WSC rival Cuesta in regional playoffs opener» Ventura County Star: "The Golden rule: Steve Burkhart had an interesting spin on the Moorpark College women’s volleyball team’s dramatic five-game loss at Santa Barbara City Tuesday night, when the Raiders saw their 11-match overall and 18-match conference winning streaks snapped.
“For 17 years, we’ve watched Golden West lose about this time and use the experience to refocus,” said the Moorpark coach.
The theory matches the coaching adage that you learn a lot more about yourself from a loss than you do from a winning streak.
The Huntington Beach school has 17 state championships."

Moorpark College women’s volleyball team had emerged from a dramatic third game on the brink of clinching its second straight Western State Conference title.
That’s when Santa Barbara City began defending its home court.
Maria Mayer, Nicole Bergmann and Emelia Shugrue had 13 kills apiece as Santa Barbara City, ranked No. 6 in the state coaches poll, came roaring back to take the fourth game and a decisive fifth game, 15-11, to win its 15 straight home match and pull within a flat-footed tie with No. 6 Moorpark on Tuesday night.
“They really stepped it up and we just didn’t respond,” said Moorpark coach Steve Burkhart. “I thought they played better defense.”
Things fell apart for the Raiders after gutting out the third game, 28-26, to take a 2-1 lead.
“We lost our composure a little bit in that fourth game and it went to the fifth game, where anything can happen,” said Burkhart.
The Vaqueros (17-2, 7-1) were led by star middle blockers Bergmann and Jenn Waddill, who hit .440 and .346, respectively, in combining for 24 kills.
Una Siljegovic had 19 kills and three blocks, Rachel Olinyk had 10 kills and five blocks and Mimi Sander had 26 digs for Moorpark (17-2, 7-1), which had dropped just two games in winning 11 straight matches overall, including a four-game win over the Vaqueros at Raider Pavilion on Oct. 20.
“I wasn’t disappointed with our effort,” said Burkhart.
The Raiders, who had won 19 straight in WSC North play since Nov. 2007, face the tough road trip to Cuesta on Friday."

CLU adds junior varsity teams
CLU adds junior varsity teams News & Information Cal Lutheran
(THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Nov. 4, 2009) At a time when many college athletic departments are making cuts due to the economy, California Lutheran University has added junior varsity teams to its 19 NCAA Division III sanctioned sports.
Beginning this fall, CLU carried junior varsity volleyball and women's soccer teams. The winter will feature both women's and men's basketball teams, and junior varsity baseball will debut in spring.
The CLU junior varsity teams have slightly shorter seasons and fewer practice sessions, helping students transition into college life while building relationships through sports participation.
"The addition of JV programs gives students the chance to participate in intercollegiate athletics while also enjoying many other opportunities at CLU. It is interesting to note that more students are now considering participation in multiple sports," Athletic Director Dan Kuntz said. "These programs foster participation and inclusion which is very much part of the NCAA Division III athletic philosophy."
The programs also have provided more students the opportunity to use the campus' new athletic facilities. The $18 million Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center, which opened in 2006, houses the 1,500-seat Gilbert Arena, the Soiland Recreation Center, the Forrest Fitness Center and a dance studio. CLU has also added a new aquatics center, softball field, baseball stadium and tennis courts in the last three years.
CLU officials hope to offer additional junior varsity programs in the future.
