A record was snapped, but the long-term benefit might have been worth it.

With seven returning players - including four starters - from last season's 22-5 team and a pair of newcomers who made an immediate impact, La Kose believes the Regals are capabale of taking on the best.

``I'm very excited,'' La Kose said. ``We've got a very talented group. I really think this could be the best team we've had here.''

Filling the vacancy: Of the Regals' four newcomers, transfers Chistina Mosesso from Moorpark College and Nicole Kline from College of Marin College of Marin is a community college in Marin County, California, U.S., with two campuses, one in Kentfield, and the second in the City of Novato.

 made the most significant contributions in their first weekend. Mosesso earned a starting job at guard and finished the tournament averaging 12 points and two steals a game. Kline was one of the first players off the bench.

Their performances helped make up for the absence of junior guard Nicole Sanchez, who is recovering from a foot injury. Sanchez earned first-team All-SCIAC honors last season when she averaged 13.6 points and 3.3 rebounds a game.

Sophomore guard Malia Finseth is also sidelined after injuring her knee in practice last week. How long she will be out won't be determined until the swelling goes down and further action is determined.

Well-rounded effort: The depth and balance Kingsmen basketball coach Rich Rider previously boasted about was evident in CLU's season-opener Saturday at Santa Cruz. Even though the Kingsmen lost 81-79, they had four players score in double figures, including junior transfer Woodley Polynice, who started his CLU career with 17 points. Danny Sweeney scored 18 points and Pastor Cuenca and Justin Muth added 15 and 13 points respectively. Muth and Richard Iskenderian both had six rebounds.

Sweeney and Cuenca each scored 14 points to lead the Kingsmen (1-1) in a 78-67 victory in their home opener Tuesday against UC San Diego. CLU's three-game homestand continues Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against Simpson College, the first meeting between the teams.

Honors: Seven members of the SCIAC-champion Regals soccer team earned all-conference honors. Forward Alia Khan and Alix Rucinski, midfielders Betsy Fish and Heidi Theis and defender Ashley Scott were named to the first team. Forward Leilani Green and defender Jessica Armacost made the second team.

Senior midfielder Jose Melgosa was the lone member of CLU's men's soccer team to earn first team all-conference honors. Seniors Scott Porter and Sean Flaherty were named to the second-team.

The women's volleyball team had three players receive All-SCIAC recognition, with freshmen Jamie Arnold and Sally Jahraus making the first team and sophomore setter Kari Whitney named to the second team.

Running back Dorian Stitt, offensive lineman Tony Weak and punter Mark Kevern were among the 13 Kingsmen football players honored as all three repeated as first-team selections. Freshman linebacker David Oviedo, sophomore defensive back Jermain Walton and junior kicker Ryan Geisler are also first-team picks.
