Our Goals

Pirate Athletics 2007-2008
Christian Harris, a sophomore on the Pirates Men’s basketball team, goes up for a shot against
Shoreline. The team captured their third conference Title Championship in the past five
seasons. This season, they won the league title with a 13-3 record, remaining undefeated on
their home court. The Pirate men ended their season with a hard fought fourth place finish in
NWAACC tournament and their second best record in team history at 25 wins and only eight
losses.
Coach Peter Stewart led the Pirates to a 2008 North Division Championship and took fourth
place at NWAACC. He was also named North Division Coach of the Year.
Peninsula College freshman Krystal Tolliver of Lathrop, Alaska, drives around Edmonds
defender Alex Kilmer in a Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges
basketball game. This season was injury-filled with several players missing much of the
season due to knee and other injuries. Even with these difficulties, the Pirate Women were
one game away from the playoffs. Our ten returning players, having fought through the
adversity of this season, have helped to position next year’s team for a strong year.
Katie Longmire, a freshman on the Pirate Women’s Softball squad, belts
one out of the park during the NWAACC tournament at Delta Park in
Portland, Oregon. This season the Lady Pirates had their best record in
school history, finishing 22-17. In the 2007 season Kayla Ralston broke the
homerun record with seven homeruns in a season and our pitcher Jessica
Rosencrants tied our strikeout record with 11 strikeouts in one game.
The women took third place in the North Division in 2007, as well as being
named to the NWAACC Top 10.
The 2007 West Division Champions and NWAACC Coach of the Year,
Andrew Chapman, worked long hours to put forth a season that was by far
the best Peninsula College has ever seen. For four months the team lived
together, sweated together, ate together, and even bled together, truly making
them the soccer family that the picture shows.

finals against Everett during the Western Division Championships. The
Pirates plundered Everett 4-0 to go on to the semi-finals.
