AZUSA, Calif. — A trio of Azusa Pacific seniors capped their collegiate soccer careers with NAIA All-American and All-Tournament recognition, led by first-team picks Theresa Broad and Katie Rorabaugh and joined by third-team selection Lauren Lane.

Broad, who became just the second Cougar ever to repeat as Golden State Athletic Conference Player of the Year, is the first player from Azusa Pacific to merit NAIA All-American first team recognition all 4 years of her career. She led the GSAC in points (35) and goals (16) and wrapped up her brilliant career with 86 goals, just 4 shy of the program’s career scoring record. She scored 14 of her 16 goals during a 12-game stretch through the middle of the season, including a career-high 5-goal outburst in a 6-0 win over Trinity International (Ill.).

Talk about hot. Pomona’s Justin Itzen, 27, continues his blistering August and September birdie pace, which is packed with 60s. Itzen was nearly perfect again Monday. He racked up eight birdies – count ‘em – to go with one lone bogey while firing a 7-under- par 65 at Yucaipa Valley Golf Club.

And the round was shot in a pressure-filled 18-hole qualifier for the Nationwide Tour’s upcoming Soboba Classic.

That wasn’t the end, though. Faced with a five-man playoff late Monday afternoon with other “65″ shooters, Itzen sank an 18-foot birdie putt at the 402-yard first hole, thus sealing his berth in the $1 million Classic, which starts Thursday.

“That putt got me in,” Itzen said Tuesday. “The other guys had to come back this morning to finish qualifying.”

The 72-hole event runs through Sunday at the Country Club at Soboba Springs.

Itzen’s stunning play started early in August when he shot a course record 10-under 62 at San Marcos’ Twin Oaks Golf Course in a Golden State Tour event.

In September, he followed with a wonderful 8-under-par 64 for a Golden State victory at Temecula Creek Inn Golf Resort.

And last Monday, at Tierra Del Sol Golf Club in California City, in a professional event called the High Desert Classic, Itzen went deep into the 60s again. He carved out a course-record 62 on the first day, and despite battling brutal winds in the second round Tuesday, shot a 72 to win the 36-holer with a 134.

“I’m gaining confidence,” said Itzen, a six-year pro who played on the Canadian Tour in 2008 and ’09. “I have a new putter, and my putting is really improved. I started to gain confidence after that 62 in August.”

Itzen, who’s 5-9 and 155 pounds, knows he’s in fast Nationwide company close to home, and he said, “I’m up with the big boys here, and I think I’m ready.”

So do we – especially if he keeps going like 60.

A total of seven players from a Yucaipa field of 127 qualified for the Soboba Classic, but aside from Itzen, no locals advanced. Jerry Chen of Rancho Cucamonga shot a 70, and Michael Drake of Fontana a 71.

Kyle Nicolson of Upland and Alfred Labrador of Fontana finished at 75 on Monday and came up short in their Classic qualifying at the East Valley Championship Course in Beaumont.

Mark Reynoso (Class of 2008)

Mark Reynoso (Class of 2008) accepted a baseball scholarship to NCAA Division I member Coppin State.  Reynoso was the 2008 Christian League Most Valuable Player for the Western Christian Lancers while leading Western Christian to their 2nd League Championship in three years.  He was also a starter as a Sophomore on the 2006 Lancer squad that won the school’s first ever League Championship.

Upon graduation Reynoso played his freshman year at Citrus College before transferring to Coppin State.  Last weekend in a series at the University of New Mexico he went 4 for 8 with two triples off of the #18 nationally ranked Lobos.

It is baseball season again and the tradition that you have established is still running strong.  In 2009 the Fighting Lancers went 17-9 and 10-2 in league winning our third Championship in four years.  Senior Robert Wiley was selected League Most Valuable Player joining the ranks of Mark Reynoso (Class of 2008) and Dustin Richmond (Class of 2006).  Junior CJ Beatty was selected as the league’s Pitcher of the Year, Western Christian’s first.

Since the return of Head Coach Mark Gabbard in 2006 the Lancers have compiled an overall record of 55-45 and a league record of 33-15.  In the process the team has produced three league titles, three league MVPs, and six All-CIF players while being ranked in the top 10 twice.

Alumni Virgil Chavirra (Class of 2006) is a starting second baseman and a leading hitter for the #17 ranked Azusa Pacific University Cougars.  Alumni Mark Reynoso (Class of 2008) is currently a player for NCAA Division I Coppin State.  The tradition at Western Christian has been established an carried on by you.

For this reason we are putting together the Fourth Annual Western Christian High School Alumni baseball game on April 17, 2010 at 9:00A.  The game will be played at Memorial Park South Field next to San Antonio Hospital in the city of Upland.  It is our goal to have as many of our alumni come and participate and pass on history to our current student-athletes.  Their will be t-shirts, pre-game batting practice, a seven inning game, and a lunch served back at our new campus.  See the attached flyer for additional information.

The Lancer Baseball Program thanks you for your commitment to Western Christian and your presence at this event will be greatly valued.  If you wish to participate in this event it will be $10.  We look forward to continuing this new tradition as it begins with you and hopefully never ends.  We cannot wait to hear from you.

God Bless, Mark Gabbard, Head Baseball Coach
