History of Coyote volleyball

May 24, 2017 by Alexis Da La Cruz 148 Comments

By Alexis De La Cruz |Staff Writer| This year was just one of many great seasons for Coyote volleyball. The sport that has been a part of our school since 1984 and has had a long history of ups and downs. The history of this program is unique compared to others at CSUSB because there have only been two coaches throughout the 33 years the team has been around. The first coach to lead the Coyotes in the NCAA Division III was Naomi Ruderman, who led the team to a 9-4 overall season record in her first year. Ruderman’s best season saw the Coyotes finish with a record of 36-8 overall. During her six years as head coach, the team made five NCAA West Regional … [Read more...] about History of Coyote volleyball

Coach Spotlight on Kim Cherniss

October 16, 2016 by Archived posts 161 Comments

By Gregory Gammill |Staff Writer|  The woman's volleyball team looks to make it back to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament under the instruction of veteran head coach Kim Cherniss. Cherniss has been the main person in charge of the volleyball team for the past 25 years and is entering her 26th year. She took over the program in 1991 and eventually brought the Coyotes back to their winning ways. Things got off to a slow start for her, but quickly picked up in 1997 when she turned the team around from a 13-15 record in 1996 to a 20-11 record in 1997. Players came and went over the years for her and the Coyotes, allowing her to move people around and … [Read more...] about Coach Spotlight on Kim Cherniss

Volleyball continues their undefeated streak against CSU Stanislaus

October 5, 2013 by Archived posts 258 Comments

By Michael Sessions |Staff Writer| When it comes to Cal State Stanislaus, the only word the Coyotes understand is WIN. Cal State San Bernardino has once again come out on top, making them 25-0 against the Warriors dating all the way back to 2001. The 3-1 win has also stretched their current undefeated streak in the CCAA to five. It was by no means an easy win however. The Coyotes had to travel north to the city of Turlock, an unfamiliar territory and surroundings to pull it off. It was home sweet home to one player though. Reminiscent of when she was team captain and took her high school team to the conference title, Pittman High alumni Ashley Solis aimed to elevate her game even … [Read more...] about Volleyball continues their undefeated streak against CSU Stanislaus

The victory marked the team’s third win in a row after they faced a bitter defeat against Cal State East Bay a week earlier that ended their eight game winning streak. After such a disappointing loss, head coach Kim Cherniss and her staff devised multiple strategies to bounce back and inevitably gain a winning edge in their upcoming games. Cherniss believes having to work around the team’s youth and inexperience has become one of the main obstacles the Coyotes have faced this season. “We really try to play well in … [Read more...] about Women’s volleyball defeats rival CSULA

“In God We Trust:” a motto and an attitude

November 15, 2011 by Archived posts 322 Comments

By Suanna Gutierrez |Staff Writer| The House of Representatives passed a bill last week to reaffirm the nation’s motto as the phrase “In God We Trust.” While this sparks many topics to debate, it is a bill that I can support through the constant downpour of issues that seem to overwhelmingly divide us as a nation. All religious, spiritual, ethical or semantic contention aside, it is an important phrase to instill as our nations motto. It is a moral identity that should be important to all of us as Americans to protect. The phrase “In God We Trust,” to me, is a part of the timeless and revolutionary structure of America. Many nations establish a state supported religion. In addition to … [Read more...] about “In God We Trust:” a motto and an attitude
