OC Weekly names Tereschuk 'Best Coach' in the county

In the looming, elephantine shadow of NCAA Division I colossus Cal State Fullerton—and the somewhat-more-elongated, bushy-tailed shadow of the emerging UC Irvine program—Tom Tereschuk has quietly built his non-scholarship baseball squad into a pint-sized powerhouse. A former star pitcher and quarterback at Lakewood High and Long Beach City College, Tereschuk went on to pitch at University of San Diego. After building a stellar reputation as a high-school coach at Servite and Villa Park (he was honored as California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2002), he debuted as Chapman University's coach in 2003 and promptly led his team to a national championship that same year (its first in 35 years). In 2011, his squad made it all the way to the final game before succumbing to Ohio's dreaded Marietta College.  During that campaign, Tereschuk topped the 300-win plateau. That's exactly the kind of performance that got him named this year's American Baseball Coaches Association's NCAA Division III West Region Coach of the Year—to go along with the six other times he's earned that title. He has a reputation for toughness, but he also knows when to be supportive. "I remember as a freshman, during regionals, I struck out, and I was afraid that [Tereschuk] was going to be upset," infielder Tyler Hadzinsky told The Panther newspaper this year. "Instead, he gave me the confidence to keep going and was very encouraging. . . . I ended up hitting a home run that game." Good job, coach. And get those Pioneers next year.

Chapman 2012 Schedule is now on their website.

Looks like Chapman has a very challenging schedule in West. Cal Lu only plays Chapman once??

Chapman has top teams from the NWC, SCIAC, SCAC conferences and of course Kean on its 2012 schedule

Chapman can only get a Pool C bid this year. No longer eligible for Pool B and not eligible yet for the SCIAC Pool A bid. Is this correct.

Also I see 4 games scheduled for March 17th. Is that correct? 6 games in 3 days??

The schedule appears to have a typo - I think the games scheduled for March 17 -18 are versus La Verne.  The Occidental series is the weekend of Feb. 17 - 18. 

I agree with your assessment regarding the schedule - it looks to be very tough!

Also last year Chapman did play Wheaton 3 times in a single day last year. CRAZY....

SCIAC schedule shows Chapman playing four games on March 17th with SCIAC teams.

Chapman's schedule has to rank as one of the toughest in the country.
The Panthers will play a full SCIAC schedule next year and will be able to vie for the auto-bid.
I emailed the SID regarding the posted schedule with 4 games in one day and will post when I hear back.

Chapman/Wheaton played 3 times last year due to rain. Wheaton flew out just to play CU three times, but rain played havoc
with the schedule, so they played 3 in a day.....that would have impressed Ernie Banks!

I was told by the Trinity coach that they were working on a home/away series with Chapman. They will come to Trinity this year and next year Trinity will go to Chapman. Would be nice to see these two strong programs develop a bit of a cross country rivalry.

That series will start this season with Chapman traveling to Trinity in early March. CU had a good relationship with Ralph's MC
and hopefully this series will pick up where that series left off. I think the rivalry is already there from previous games.

Southwest just put on a sale and got my tickets to SA see all three. Should be fun.

Chapman in 2012 will need to fill the holes left with 3 key seniors from 2011 gone in 2012 to make it back to the West Regional and CWS again. Chapman has made the Regional playoffs in 15 of the last 16 years and made it to the CWS 10 times during the same period. Chapman seems to just reload and not rebuild but will have a tough 2012 schedule attempting to get a Pool C bid. Chapman has its alumni game on January 28th and open with Whittier on February 3rd.

CDD3 -
Thank you for the SCIAC schedule information. 
Any idea what is happening on March 17?  It shows Chapman playing Occidental and La Verne?
