2012 Western Region Champs -- Pierce College Raiders

The Raider Baseball team swept the Tacoma Community College Titans at Tacoma to earn the 2012 Western Region Title!

The Raiders back-to-back titles are also the only two regional titles in the program’s 40 year history.   The team is currently ranked second in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges’ Coaches Poll, and 11th on the West Coast in the ABCA Coaches Poll.

The Raiders ended their season with a league record of 22-2.

The Raiders earned the first seed from the West to the NWAACC Championship Tournament, hosted at Lower Columbia College over Memorial Day weekend.  This will mark the Raiders third trip to the NWAACC Championships in the past four years.

• Whether or not you feel confident, look and act confident!  Walk with purpose, look people in the eye, and acknowledge them.
• Be aware of your surroundings, and be familiar with safe and direct routes to campus destinations.
• Use discretion and caution when taking shortcuts through isolated parts of the campus, and try not to walk alone after dark.
• Visualize multiple potential exit routes from an event or location, in case of an emergency.
• Do not carry large amounts of cash or your debit or credit cards, unless you need them.
• If someone tries to snatch your purse, let it go.  Most injuries from robberies occur when people resist during purse snatches.
• Most people do not listen to the internal voice that tells them when something is wrong.  If you don’t feel comfortable in a place, or situation – LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!
• Have your keys in your hand as you approach your car.
• Keep emergency numbers in your cell phone, or by your landline phone, including the Campus Safety number for your campus.
• Report suspicious activity to Campus Safety.  Puyallup – (253 )840-8481/Fort Steilacoom – (253) 964-6751.

If you are attacked, whether you resist and how you resist will depend on your personal resources and your personal values. Give some thought right now to what you would do in various situations that could arise. The more you think ahead, the more likely you will be to act in the way you have planned.

In considering your reactions to different situations, keep these three basic rules in mind:
• Trust your instincts.
• Don’t be afraid to be impolite or make a scene; this is especially important if someone you know threatens or attacks you.
• Try to remain calm and use your imagination and good judgment; give yourself time to think.
