A nice piece on Cynthia Hernandez in Daily Targum today. As happy as I am for her and her part in the team's win over Wisconsin I'm sorry Cynthia didn't head up the highway from Ventura to Goleta and UCSB. Hard to believe Carlene Mitchell's Gauchoes are winless in 16 games, including thrashings in their last two games and a 90-34 thumping from Stanford. I'm wondering if Carlene and her staff, which includes assistant coach Heather Zurich, will survive.
Quite a fall for Carlene from her first season at the helm four years ago when she guided UCSB to the Big West title and NCAA berth and was one of three finalists for Maggie Dixon Coach of the Year award.
As the father of a daughter who excelled in the classroom as well as swimming her way to a couple of school records and Big West titles and a spot in the Olympic trials while enjoying life living on the beach at Isla Vista it's hard for me to understand why Carlene, touted as a top recruiter while at RU, hasn't been able to attract the talent to field a competitive team. Truly sad to see for me...
