2006-07 Toros: 16-11, 13-9 CCAA

Recapping the NCAA Regional
The Toros made a valiant effort in their first post-season appearance in two years by taking it to Alaska-Anchorage via an 11-0 run to start the contest, but the Seawolves, who finished runner-up to GNAC Champion Seattle Pacific, slowly fought their way back to edge CSUDH, 49-48, in the first round of the NCAA Division II Regional Tournament, ending the Toros’ 2006-07 season at 16-11.

Next Season
Next season looks bright for CSUDH as the Toros return every member of the roster except for senior Ree Browne, who concluded her Toro career in the NCAA postseason.

“As far as next year, hopefully something like this motivates them to want to get back to the tournament, and if we use it right then it is a lesson learned,” said coach Van Girard. “We have a nice core, we are just trying to add a couple to that core, but I like what we have and I think we are going to be a factor.”
