LA JOLLA, Calif. - The UC San Diego Department of Intercollegiate Athletics formally inducted seven Tritons into its Hall of Fame Sunday during a cermony at The Great Hall on the La Jolla campus.

Entering the UCSD Athletics Hall of Fame as the Class of 2014 - Julia Cuder (women's soccer, 1999-2001), Jamie Dailey (women's water polo, 1988-92), Carol Lipson (women's volleyball, 1984-87), Bob Natal (baseball, 1984-87), Shannon Quigley (women's track and field/women's volleyball, 1988-91), Chris Romey (men's soccer, 1989-91, 93) and Paul Trainer (men's basketball, 1971-75).

Ken Grosse, UCSD Senior Associate Athletics Director, opened the morning's proceedings.

"The UCSD Athletics Department has come so far, so fast," said Grosse. "It's an honor and a privilege to add these seven outstanding individuals to the Hall of Fame today. They have left a huge mark on the school, the department and their respective programs."

Cuder won three NCAA national championships, one in Division III and two in Division II, during her time at UC San Diego. A two-time first team All-American, Cuder totaled 50 points (15 goals, 20 assists) over 67 career matches for the Tritons.

"This honor is more than just an individual honor," said Cuder. "It's a reflection on the strength of the soccer program and the talented, dedicated individuals we had. I'm so honored to be a part of it."

Natal was one of UCSD's first two All-America selections in the sport of baseball. He helped lead the Tritons to a then-school-record 32 wins and their first College World Series trip in 1987. Natal still holds the school record for career RBI. Drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1987, he made his Major League Baseball debut in 1992 and appeared in 120 games.

"This is a great honor," said Natal. "Being able to achieve your dreams is something we all strive for. The one thing that UCSD has always done well is to focus on the team concept. Being able to experience that, it shaped me into to what I am today."

Despite playing from 1971-75, Paul Trainer remains the UCSD basketball program's career scoring and rebounding leader. He is one of just five players in program history to amass at least 1,500 points.

"All of my big life changes have come from my time at UCSD, both on the basketball side and personal side," said Trainer. "It's been great to come back and see all of the changes here, it's been really fun."

Sunday marked the second annual induction ceremony at UCSD. For more information, including details of the 2013 inductees, please visit the UCSD Athletics Hall of Fame site.
