Cancer Claims The Life of Matador Legend Pete Accardy
During his illustrious 24-year career as head coach of the Cal State Northridge men’s swim team, and 15 seasons as head coach of the CSUN women’s swim team, Accardy coached the Matadors to a record 13 NCAA team titles, which is still a collegiate record. Nine national titles (1975, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985) were recorded by the CSUN men’s swim team. Another four NCAA crowns (1982, 1987, 1988, 1989) were won on the women’s side. The Matador men’s and women’s swim teams also gained runner-up honors eight times. (Photo Credit: Janna Schulze)
