CCAA announces the 2025 Hall of Fame inductees

Jun 18, 2025

Aliso Viejo, Calif. - The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) proudly presents its 2025 Hall of Fame Class.
 
The members of this year's class are some of the best to ever put on a uniform or walk the sidelines in the 87-year history of the conference. The 2025 CCAA Hall of Fame class features Andrew Bailey from Sonoma State, Bobby Burries from Cal State San Bernardino, Rosalyn Bryant from Cal State LA, Sue Gozansky from Cal Poly Pomona, Cindy Perry from Cal State Dominguez Hills, and Jen Serna from Chico State. Selected from a prestigious pool of candidates, this is the ninth CCAA Hall of Fame class and grows the total to 55 members from 14 current and former member institutions.
 
"We are honored to induct Andrew Bailey, Rosalyn Bryant, Bobby Burries, Sue Gozansky, Cindy Perry and Jen Serna into the CCAA Hall of Fame," said CCAA Commissioner Allen Hardison. "This remarkable group of individuals crossed just about every accomplishment and accolade off the list that you could think of. From National Championships to All-Americans, Olympic appearances, and World Records, they did it all. We are thrilled they all called the CCAA home, and now they are forever ingrained in our conference's impressive history. Congratulations to our 2025 Hall of Fame Class!"
 
The CCAA Hall of Fame was established in 2013-14 in conjunction with the conference's 75th anniversary celebration. The six-member class will be honored with their awards at the 2026 CCAA Men's & Women's Basketball Tournament on March 7 at Kellogg Arena in Pomona, Calif.

Andrew Bailey
Sonoma State
Men's Soccer, 2004-08

The legacy of Andrew Bailey is still brought up in CCAA soccer circles today. The four-year letterwinner played more games than anyone in Sonoma State history (92), and when he finally hung up the jersey, he was the school's all-time leader in goals (52) and points (126).
 
Bailey helped lead the Seawolves to an incredible .747 winning percentage (63-18-10) during his tenure, including an .828 mark (46-8-4) in CCAA play. SSU won the North Division title each season with Bailey, even going undefeated during the 2007 campaign with a perfect 14-0-0 record. Sonoma State would carry that momentum from the regular season into postseason play, where it would win the NCAA West Regional championship and reach the national quarterfinals.
 
Over those four seasons, Bailey filled up his trophy case, winning awards at the conference, regional, and national levels. The six-foot forward was a four-time All-CCAA selection, and to this day, he remains one of only three men's soccer student-athletes to win the CCAA Player of the Year award in back-to-back seasons (2007 and 2008).
 
Bailey was voted the Daktronics West Region Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons and was a three-time all-region selection. In 2007, he led the West with 18 goals as SSU won the regional championship. In his senior season, he had eight goals and nine assists, while SSU outscored its opponents 67-18. Bailey earned NSCAA All-American honors in each of his final three seasons, including first-team honors in 2007 and 2008.
 
Bailey graduated from Sonoma State University in 2009 with a degree in Communications.

Rosalyn Bryant
Cal State LA
Women's Track & Field, 1976-78

Rosalyn Bryant has a case for being the best sprinter the CCAA has ever seen, and few could argue with that claim. Bryant dominated the sprints for the Golden Eagles from 1976 to 1978, and she used that success as a springboard to represent the United States many times on the national stage, including the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
 
The Chicago native came to Cal State LA having just won the 100 meters at the US National Championships in 1975. From there, she would dominate on the track, winning national championships in every sprint race at the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Championships. She won the 100m with a time of 11.53 and backed it up by winning the 200m with a time of 23.70. She would add the 400m title in 1977 (51.79). Bryant completed the feat in 1978 as her sprint medley relay team of Valerie Milan, Yolanda Rich, and Cynthia Mills set a world record with a time of 1:37.29. That mark held as the world record until 1981, and it remains the 13th fastest in history.
 
While Bryant was dominating in college, she also represented the United States in two events at the 1976 Olympics, wearing the Red, White, and Blue. Bryant teamed up with Debra Sapenter, Sheila Ingram, and Pamela Jiles to earn a silver medal in the 4x400m relay with a time of 3:19.23. Bryant ran the anchor leg and registered a split of 49.7 seconds to lock in the second-place finish. Byrant would finish as the top American in the 400m, placing fifth with a U.S.A.-record time of 50.65.
 
She would continue to make her mark on the world stage, proving that the 1976 Olympics were only the start of a very decorated career. In 1977, she set world records in the 220-yard and 500-yard races at the world indoor championships. She added a gold medal in the 1979 World University Games by winning the 400m. Bryant then competed at the inaugural 1983 World Track & Field Championships, where she represented the US in both the open 400m and the 4x400m relay.
 
Bryant would be named the recipient of Cal State LA’s All-University Award in 1978 and was a member of its inaugural Hall of Fame class in 1985. Bryant was also inducted into the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Hall of Fame in 2024.

Bobby Burries
Cal State San Bernardino
Men's Basketball, 2000-03

 One of the most incredible runs in CCAA men's basketball history occurred in the early 2000s, as Cal State San Bernardino won six consecutive conference titles —a feat still unmatched today. In looking back at that great run, many say it could not have been accomplished without Bobby Burries.
 
The San Bernardino native led CSUSB to three consecutive CCAA Championships and every NCAA West Regional appearance from 2000-03. He earned CCAA Player of the Year honors as a sophomore and closed out his career with another CCAA Player of the Year award after his senior season. He is one of only two student-athletes to earn two CCAA Player of the Year awards, and is the only one to achieve this distinction in non-consecutive seasons.
 
As a sophomore, he averaged 14.9 points and 3.6 rebounds on .458 percent shooting to earn his first CCAA Player of the Year award. Burries led the Coyotes to a 24-4 record and their second straight CCAA Championship. In 2001-02, as a junior, Burries took on the role of distributor, averaging a career-best 4.34 assists per game and helping lead CSUSB to a 28-2 record (21-1 CCAA).  The Coyotes won the CCAA regular-season title before capturing the NCAA West Regional title, advancing to the program's first Elite Eight.
 
Burries built upon that run during his junior season to average over 20 points per game his senior season and earn his second CCAA Player of the Year award. He shot .369 percent from 3-point range and .830 percent from the free throw line while averaging 5.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. The Coyotes would win the CCAA regular season title and advance to the NCAA West Regional Championship game. During Burries' tenure, CSUSB went 75-13, and he was named an All-American in all three seasons.

Sue Gozansky
UC Riverside (Cal Poly Pomona)
Volleyball Coach

Sue Gozansky truly lived for sports and poured her heart into being a student-athlete, coach, and administrator during her 40-plus years in athletics.
 
Gozansky began her collegiate career at Cal Poly Pomona, where she participated in volleyball, basketball, softball, and track & field. Her outstanding efforts on the field and courts garnered Gozansky CPP's Athlete of the Year award in her junior and senior seasons. Then, in 1981, she was bestowed the Broncos' Outstanding Alumnus Award, and she was a member of Cal Poly Pomona's inaugural Hall of Fame class.
 
In 1970, Gozansky would move on to become the head volleyball coach at UC Riverside and put together one of the greatest coaching careers in the history of NCAA volleyball. Gozansky led the Highlanders to three national championships - 1977, 1982, and 1986 - and 20 straight postseason appearances. The 1982 title was the CCAA's first NCAA Volleyball Championship, and the second-ever NCAA women's championship in conference history. The five-time CCAA Coach of the Year coached UCR for 39 seasons, compiling a 680-518-16 record.
 
Gozansky's coaching skills caught the attention of some of the biggest names in volleyball, and she was asked to lead the USA women’s “B” volleyball team, which consisted of players being considered for roster spots on the national team, at the Olympic Sports Festival. She was also the coach for the men’s and women’s teams at the quadrennial Maccabiah Games (Jewish Olympics) in Israel in 1981, 1985, 1989, and 1993. She has given clinics in more than 35 countries, including Germany, Malaga, Spain, the Dominican Republic, China, and Belize.
 
In Spring 2000, Gozansky concluded work on her second book, the "Volleyball Coach’s Survival Guide" which is used as the textbook for the USA Volleyball Coaching Accreditation Program Level II Course. Her first work, “Championship Volleyball Complete Book of Techniques and Drills” is a top seller.
 
She was named to the NCAA Division II Women’s Volleyball 25th Anniversary Team in 2005 by the NCAA. In 2006, Gozansky was inducted into the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association (AVCA) Hall of Fame.
 
Gozansky received her degree in physical education and social sciences from Cal Poly Pomona in 1968. She earned her master's degree in Kinesiology from UCLA in 1975.

Cindy Perry
Cal State Dominguez Hills
Softball, 2004-06

The long history of the CCAA features some of the greatest NCAA Division II softball players ever to pick up a mitt, and that list was expanded when Cindy Perry joined the Cal State Dominguez Hills softball team in 2003. Over the next four years, Perry would dominate for the Toros with her bat and speed at a conference level and on the national stage.
 
Perry was a three-time all-region selection and a two-time NFCA/Daktronics All-American. She would leave Carson with 17 school records, including career batting average (.377), hits (273), runs (182), and stolen bases (142). Perry was voted the CCAA Player of the Year in 2005 after setting the Toros' single-season record with a .407 batting average and 46 stolen bases.
 
Those marks were not only the best in CSUDH history, but also among the best in CCAA history. Her 46 stolen bases were second in CCAA's single-season record books, and she would end her career as the CCAA's all-time stolen base leader (142). Perry put together a 25-game hitting streak in 2006, which matched the longest in conference history and stood for 10 seasons. Even in 2025, Perry still stands fifth in the CCAA record books in career runs (fifth, 172) and hits (sixth, 273).
 
CSUDH had some of its most successful seasons when Perry was wearing the Cardinal & Gold. In 2005, Perry would help lead CSUDH to the program's first CCAA Championships in 22 years as the Toros went 23-5 in conference play and 43-15 overall. The Toros made the program's first NCAA regional in 2004, before hosting the NCAA regional in 2005, and coming within a series of reaching the NCAA Softball Championships in 2006. Cal State Dominguez Hills won .721 percent of its games during Perry's tenure, going 162-62-2.
 
Perry completed graduate school, earning a Master's Degree and a Teaching Credential.

Jen Serna
Chico State
Women's Cross Country/Track & Field, 2002-06

Many student-athletes can say they impacted their team, and some even leave their mark on the program itself, but every once in a while, there is a student-athlete who comes along so skilled that they change the foundations of that program. That is precisely what Jen Serna did for Chico State in the early 2000s.
 
It is almost unimaginable now, but when Serna stepped onto the Chico State campus in 2002, the university had never won a CCAA Cross Country title. She helped lead the Wildcats to their first conference title as a freshman, earning her first of four All-CCAA honors in the sport. She would help guide Chico State to three consecutive conference titles and lay the foundations for the program, winning 16 of the next 18 CCAA Championships, including a streak of 12 straight years. Serna added the CCAA Individual Cross Country Championship to her list of accolades, having won the title in 2004 and been named the CCAA Runner of the Year.
 
Serna would pace Chico State to its first three NCAA West Regional titles and three appearances in the NCAA Championship. She helped guide the Wildcats to four top-6 finishes at NCAAs and was a two-time All-American.
 
Serna transferred her success on the trails to become one of the most successful steeplechase runners in conference history. She placed eighth at the NCAA Championships in the steeplechase as a sophomore, third as a junior, and fifth as a senior to earn three All-American honors. Serna set the Chico State steeplechase record in 2004, and it stood for nearly 10 years before falling in 2013.
 
Her success on the track would also be a turning point for the Chico State track & field program, which won its first three CCAA Championships with Serna helping lead the way. She won the steeplechase in 2004 and 2005, and the 3,000 meters in 2006.
