Santa Clara University Announces the 2009 West Coast Classic (MTE)

Santa Clara, CA - Santa Clara University will host the West Coast Classic next season
in late November and early December. The Classic represents five different Division 1
conferences including the West Coast (Santa Clara), the Mountain West (San Diego
State), Big Sky (Northern Arizona), Big West (Pacific) and WAC (Fresno State).

The West Coast Classic is considered one of the first of its kind because each school gets
to host two home games. Santa Clara will host two games in the exempt event next
season and can host an event like this once every five years.

"The opportunity to schedule up to 31 games in a season is difficult and by utilizing what
is available to us by way of a multi-team event hopefully will provide all the schools that
are involved more access to their own fan base," said Bronco head coach Kerry Keating,
who will enter his third season at the helm next year. "We are glad we could make this
come about and look forward to competing with the teams involved."
