It's not as common for the Golden Knights team of athletic trainers and sports-medicine interns, who are usually out of the spotlight caring for those athletes in it, to reap recognition. So when Eli Hallak first heard the National Athletic Trainers' Assn. was going to be honoring select schools with a Safe Sports School award, he was excited. The Golden Knights head athletic trainer quickly became ecstatic when he read over the criteria each school needed to hit to be recognized; certain his program was highly qualified.

That's why she's hesitant to talk about her numerous accolades, which range from being a two-time All-American in women's volleyball at Northridge, to winning the 1988 Honda Award for being the best athlete in Division II to leading the Matadors to the 1988 National Championships.
