Stephanie Lombardo Position: Volunteer Assistant Coach Experience: Sixth Season Alma Mater: UC San Diego (2004)

Entering 2011-12 season.

Stephanie Lombardo begins her sixth year at San Diego State as a volunteer coach and works primarily with the team's goalkeepers.

During her time on Montezuma Mesa, Lombardo helped Sarah Kilgore (2004-07) finish her career with 900 saves, which ranks second all-time in school history, and Heather Fenske (2005-08) end her time at San Diego State with 407 stops (No. 5 all-time). Just last year, Lombardo tutored Kelly Campoli to her third consecutive All-America selection following a 335-save campaign, the fourth most in a single season at SDSU. In 2010, Campoli stopped 337 shots, which is the third most in school history. Campoli's All-America selection in 2010 came on the heels of a 2009 freshman campaign during which the goalkeeper racked up 300 saves and All-America honors, becoming the first Aztec freshman to earn the award since 2001.

Lombardo comes to SDSU after coaching at Santana High School in Santee, Calif. She also played competitively at UC San Diego from 2002-04 after spending two years at Golden West College.

A former standout goalkeeper with the Tritons, Lombardo captured first-team Division II All-America honors as a senior in 2004 after blocking 238 shots, which is the fourth-highest season total in UCSD history. That year, she also garnered first-team all-Western Water Polo Association accolades after helping the Tritons to a runner-up finish in the conference tournament.

Lombardo graduated in 2004 from UC San Diego with a bachelor's degree in human development.
