UC Davis records for most wins in a season
82 wins at Williamette,
- 2 championships, 3 postseason appearances, & national runerups in 1997.

"The mantra is `figure it out.' There are a million ways to do something and all of us have to figure it out. When I was a player, I had to figure out how to throw a ball, catch a ball and how to tackle. Nobody every told me. I was a defensive player who started coaching offense. So I had to figure it out.
