RIVERSIDE -- Four more Lancers are scheduled to be inducted into the California Baptist University Athletics Hall of Fame on Homecoming Weekend, which takes place on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 28-29.
Softball's Kendall Gorham, women's swim's Mary Hanson Logan, men's soccer's Joseph Pacheco and baseball's Taylor Siemens are the quartet set to be inducted during a ceremony at halftime of the men's basketball game versus Seattle U on Saturday, Feb. 29 at 7 p.m. Those four individuals will bring CBU's Hall of Fame to a total of 81 legendary Lancers.
"These four student-athletes were a huge part of elevating CBU Athletics," Director of Athletics Dr. Micah Parker said. "They were dominant in their sport, outstanding in the classroom, and leaders on their teams. We are proud to include them in the CBU Athletics Hall of Fame."
In her career, Gorham was a game changer with just one swing for CBU. She possessed one of – if not the most – powerful bats in the history of Lancer Softball. She was a crucial part of a dominant run in program history from 2009-12 that included four conference titles and two national championships, including two other top-three finishes.
The Lancers put together a 240-20 record with Gorham on the roster and won the 2009 NAIA Championship and the 2012 National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) title. She was a two-time National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) All-American and made three All-Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) teams in addition to earning two all-academic honors.
Gorham still sits atop the Lancer record books with 67 home runs, 500 total bases and 232 runs batted in. She also ranks second with a .755 slugging percentage, fifth in at bats (662), hits (242) and runs scored (182). Her 51 doubles, 77 walks, 236 games played and 226 starts rank seventh. The utility player also holds single-season records with 23 home runs, .916 slugging percentage, 73 runs batted in and 71 games played.
Hanson Logan (previously just Hanson) will forever be remembered as the first Lancer in school history to win an individual national championship in the NCAA. She did so in the school's first year of NCAA postseason eligibility when she won the 100-yard backstroke in 52.45 seconds at the 2014 NCAA Division II Championships. It made Hanson a two-time national champion in the 100 back after she won the event as a freshman at the 2011 NAIA Championships.
Despite only having two seasons, Hanson Logan is tied for first with seven NCAA All-American awards in CBU history. She also had six All-American finishes in the NAIA, with her 13 All-American awards ranking her 11th in program history.
At the conference level, Hanson Logan won 14 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) championships in just two seasons. She was twice voted the RMAC Swimmer of the Year and was named the Swimmer of the Meet at the conference championships in 2014.
Beyond being a champion athletically, she was also a perfect example of a student-athlete throughout her career. She reaped a total of nine academic awards in her career and was voted the RMAC Academic Athlete of the Year back-to-back in 2014 and 2015.
Hanson Logan was also named a Top-30 nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year award in 2015. It is the furthest a Lancer has ever advanced for the annual award, which recognizes female college athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academics, athletics, service and leadership. To this day, Hanson still holds six records and five other top-10 marks in CBU's record book, even after graduating in 2015.
Pacheco is one of the best goalies in the history of CBU men's soccer, and his resume certainly backs that up. He was twice named the Pacific West Conference Goalie of the Year, and
received All-America first-team distinction in 2012 from the NCCAA. He not only made the all-conference team three years athletically, but academically, as well.
Individual success for Pacheco translated to team success for CBU. The Lancers logged a combined record of 58-21-4 record, won a conference championship and made the postseason all four years Pacheco was on the team. CBU also won the NCCAA in consecutive years in 2011 and 12.
To this day, Pacheco ranks top-five in Lancer history in several career categories. He ranks first all-time with 20 career shutouts, which are eight more than the next goalie, and is second with a 0.94 goals-against average. He also ranks second with 55 games played and 4,872 total minutes. His 192 saves ranks second in CBU history, as well.
The Riverside native has also been responsible for three of the best seasons in team history, as he owns two of the top-five goals-against average marks in the Lancers' single-season record book. His 0.71 goals-against average in as a sophomore ranks second, while his 0.92 in his junior season ranks fourth.
Siemens helped lead CBU baseball to two conference championships, a pair of playoff berths and a 119-54 overall record in three seasons. He earned two all-conference honors and was voted the GSAC Pitcher of the Year in 2011.
The La Mirada native still leads the Lancers with 26 career victories and holds the single-game record with 16 strikeouts. Career wise, Siemens also ranks second with 245 strikeouts, third with 298 innings pitched and seventh with seven complete games. In the single-season record books, he ranks third in wins (11), fifth in walks per nine innings (1.79), sixth in innings pitched (113.1), eighth in hits per nine innings (7.06) and ninth in strikeouts (95).
The left-handed pitcher went on to be drafted in the 18th round and 544th overall in the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
