Warrior Athletics<br />
Like many communities across the world, Life Pacific<br />
Athletics has seen and experienced the struggles of<br />
COVID-19. However, LPU Athletics continues to adapt,<br />
grow, and thrive through unprecedented circumstances.<br />
Thankfully, six of our sports programs had successful<br />
seasons with limited interruption due to COVID, and our<br />
programs made strides in the GSAC and at the national<br />
level.<br />
• Two of our Women’s Wrestlers went to the National<br />
Championships<br />
• Men’s and Women’s Soccer programs finished their<br />
respective seasons at the top of the GSAC<br />
• Women’s Volleyball finished the year with their best<br />
finish in the GSAC in program history.<br />
• Six Warrior Athletes earned GSAC scholar athlete<br />
honors<br />
Introducing Cameron Riley,<br />
Director of LPU Soccer and Head Coach<br />
Coming to LPU from San Diego Christian College, Coach<br />
Cameron Riley brings over 10 years coaching experience.<br />
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine and<br />
has a wealth of experience developing Christ-centered<br />
athletes on and off the field. Cameron and his wife Cathryn<br />
are excited to be a part of the LPU community.<br />
Alyssa Salgado and Adam Saavedra both received the Cliff Hamlow Champions of Character Award.<br />
Breaking New Ground for Beach Volleyball<br />
As a competitive collegiate sport, beach volleyball has grown<br />
exponentially over the past decade. Currently, there are 90<br />
NCAA schools with beach volleyball teams and the NAIA<br />
historically follows the NCAA in sporting trends. With eight<br />
GSAC teams in existence, LPU excitedly looks to enter the<br />
playing field during the 21-22 season. This spring, renovation<br />
began with the creation of a new sand court and an upgrade to<br />
the existing sand volleyball court. LPU anticipates expanded<br />
recruiting and student athlete development opportunities<br />
with the addition of this up and coming college sport.<br />
LPU Athletics’ mission has been and will always be to serve as an<br />
outlet to advance Life Pacific University through intercollegiate<br />
competition that promotes integrity, discipline, and Christ-like<br />
character development.<br />
