Privacy Policy Terms of Service The California Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Basketball Tournament is the annual conference basketball championship tournament for the California Collegiate Athletic Association. The tournament was held annually between 1986 and 1995, discontinued between 1996 and 2007, and then held annually again after it was re-established in 2008. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared conference champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Men's Division II Basketball Championship. Between 1986 and 1995, the tournament consisted of 4 teams playing a single-elimination tournament on the campus of one of the four teams. After the tournament was re-established in 2008, the tournament expanded to eight teams; first round matches were played on campus sites while the semifinal and final rounds were both played at one single site.
Between 2008 and 2012, this site rotated between different campus gyms. After 2013, however, the tournament has been played at a pre-determined neutral arena. ‡Former member of the CCAASAN RAMON -- Senior point guard Vincent Golson was named the California Collegiate Athletic Association men's basketball Player of the Week after leading Cal State Dominguez Hills to two wins to secure the No. 5 seed in this week's CCAA Championship Tournament, starting tonight. An East Oakland native, Golson shot 54 percent from the field, including a 50-percent effort from three point range and 88 percent from the free throw line to lead the Toros past Cal State San Marcos at home on Senior Night before a two-point road win at Cal State San Bernardino to close the regular season two days later. In Friday's 84-75 win over the Cougars, Golson totaled 20 points and dished out five assists. The following night, Golson scored a career-high 32 points, shooting seven-for-12 from the field, five-for-six from the three-point line, and 13-for-14 from the charity stripe as CSUDH finished with its best regular-season record since the 2010-11 season.
Overall, Golson averaged 26 points, 5.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and a steal per game in picking up his second CCAA POW honor as a Toro. With the wins and the No. 5 seed, the Toros will face No. 4 seed Chico State tonight in Chico for a berth in one of Friday's semifinal games, with the winner earning a place on semifinal Friday against the winner of top-seeded UC San Diego and No. 8 seed Humboldt State in The Sports Center, hosted by CSUSM.SAN RAMON – Led by Cal State Dominguez Hills' two-time NSCAA Player of the Year and NCAA National Champion Kevin Gallaugher, the California Collegiate Athletic Association announced its 2017 inductees for this year's Hall of Fame class that also included a ground-breaking administrator and three track and field standouts. In addition to Gallaugher, this year's class consists of former Cal Poly Pomona tennis coach and administrator Karen Miller, Cal Poly Pomona track and field/women's basketball player Debra Larsen, former Cal Poly San Luis Obispo track and field head coach Lance Harter and Cal State Bakersfield track and field athlete Cecilia Barnes.
"Obviously with Kevin being a 2 time National Player of the Year, he was very good," begins CSUDH head coach Joe Flanagan. "But what made him different was his intensity and ability to push guys around him. He rose the level of training every day and didn't let guys take days, or even plays off. "He was not only an extremely driven and great soccer player, but a fantastic leader and captain and very deserving of this prestigious honor." As a defender who led his 2008 men's soccer squad to the 2008 NCAA Championship in a 3-0 win over Dowling, Gallaugher remains the school's most decorated male student-athlete after earning NSCAA National Player of the Year in both 2008 and 2009. He captured a combined six All- America awards that include four first-team nods. During his stellar collegiate career (2007-2009), Gallaugher was a six-time all-region and three-time CCAA First Team selection, also earning CCAA Defensive Player of the Year honors twice, as well as the CCAA Newcomer of the Year honors in 2007.
Gallaugher led the Toros to consecutive three NCAA Tournament berths, which included an NCAA Division II National title in 2008. In 92 career matches he helped the Toro defense post 37 shutouts while opponents scored just one goal in 27 other contests. Academically, Gallaugher served on the CSUDH Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Miller served as Cal Poly Pomona's head women's tennis coach and as an instructor from 1974-1984. In 1985, she became the Broncos' director of athletics -- and the CCAA's first-ever female director of athletics -- a position she held for 15 seasons until her retirement in 2000 where she played a significant role in four NCAA Championships. As a coach, she guided the Broncos women's tennis program to consecutive Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) National Championships in 1980 and 1981. The AIAW oversaw women's athletics until the NCAA began sponsoring women's sports in the 1981-82 academic year. One of the student-athletes who thrived under Miller's leadership was Larsen, who remains one of the most decorated female student-athletes in CCAA history.
She earned seven All-America awards during her three-year career (1984-1987) with the Broncos' women's basketball and women's track and field teams. A two-time CCAA Women's Basketball Player of the Year, Larsen was a member of two Division II National Championship squads. As a member of the track and field team, Larsen earned six of seven All-American accolades, taking honors in the heptathlon, high jump, javelin, long jump and the shot put en route to also being named the CCAA Athlete of the Year in 1986. Lance Harter coached the Cal Poly-SLO women's cross country as well as women's indoor and outdoor track and field 1981-1990. During his time with the three programs he was named Division II National Coach of the Year 10 times after leading Cal Poly to 14 NCAA National Championships, including eight-consecutive title in cross country (1982-89) and five outdoor track and field titles in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1989 and 1990. Harter was also tabbed the CCAA Coach of the Year numerous times, while earning conference crowns in both outdoor track and field and cross country for nine-consecutive years.
Also making a name for herself in the sport of track and field was two-time CCAA Track and Field Athlete of the Year (2005, 2006), 2005-06 CCAA Athlete of the Year, 2006 West Region Field Athlete of the Year, 2006 USTFCCCA Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year and Indoor Field Athlete of the Year Cecilia Barnes. From 2004-2006 she snagged five national titles and was the first hurler in Division II and just the second across all three divisions to win three consecutive NCAA National Championships in the discus. The seven-time All-American still holds the CCAA record in the discus at 191-10. Immediately after graduating in 2006, Barnes went on to finish fourth in the discus at the 2007 USA Outdoor National Championship Meet. The CCAA will honor the five inductees on June 6, 2017 at the Pomona Mining Company in Pomona. The CCAA Hall of Fame was created during the 2013-14 academic year, in conjunction with the celebration of the Conference's 75th Anniversary. Nicole Duncan-Chance, Cal State LA
