A NEW ERA BEGINS ...

ARMY SOFTBALL COMPLEX

Army’s 25th anniversary as a varsity sport coincided with its move into a new, state-of-the-art Softball Complex located at North Athletic Field, adjacent to Gillis Field House, in the spring of 2003.

The complex, completed in the fall of 2002, was dedicated that spring, but the original date for the ceremony (March 9, 2003) had to be postponed because of snow and poor field conditions.

With the Black Knights headed south to the Rebel Spring Games in Florida, the first game in the new facility was moved back to Wednesday, March 26, with the Fordham Rams playing in the inaugural game. Brig.

Gen. Daniel Kaufman, then-Dean of the Academic Board and one of the motivating forces behind construction of the facility, threw out the first pitch to then-Army Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan.

Fordham’s 2-0 win ruined Army’s debut in its new facility, while inclement weather caused the nightcap to be cancelled. Just over a week later, the Black Knights notched their first wins in the new complex when they swept a doubleheader from Manhattan on Thursday, April 3. Army’s 2-1 first-game win was followed by a thrilling 6-5 v i c t o r y that went 11 innings, which still ranks as the longest game me at the complex.

Considered one of the finest softball facilities es on the East Coast, the complex was recognized by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) A) as one of four Regional Turface/Field Maintenance e Award winners in 2004. Army shared the honor with h Texas A&M, Tennessee at Chattanooga and Southern n Illinois with Stetson named the national winner..

“The Army Softball Complex is a great facility we are e privileged enough to call home,” noted first-year head coach Michelle DePolo. The view alone, of the Hudson River and surrounding hills, makes it a remarkable location.

“Inside, the entire playing surface, both infield and outfield are flawless. The lights allow us enjoy the field at anytime, particularly during the shortened New York days in the off-season. “ There is room to expand and we are looking forward to completing the second phase of the project in the near future. The complex and its continuous

additions are great examples of the commitment this institution shows toward athletics and the softball program.”

The complex includes a 500-seat grandstand with a fully-equipped press box, dugouts, two batting cages and a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard. The field dimensions are 200 feet down the lines and 210 feet to center field.

With renovations among the athletic playing fields around West Point continuing to be of prime importance, the Softball Complex was upgraded this past fall with new grass sod (blue grass) replacing the outfield surface, while the electronic scoreboard now sports a state-ofthe-art message board.

Clark Companies, the same group that was awarded the project of constructing the complex, was also responsible for the sod project.

The Softball Complex, now in its eighth season as the home field for the Black Knights, has made a large impact on the program. Army has reached the Patriot League Championship finals five times during that span.

HOME TO YOUR BLACK KNIGHTS

FOLEY ATHLETIC CENTER The latest jewel in Army’s treasure trove of athletic facilities, Foley Athletic Center opened its doors two years ago, serving as the “winter home” of the Black Knights. The massive 77,000-square-foot structure not only provides Army’s football team with a state-of-the-art indoor practice facility, but also offers spring teams such as Army baseball and softball another option for preseason training sessions where the teams can train in a climate-controlled environment during the winter months and inclement weather days throughout the year. The facility contains a full 100-yard football playing field, along with full 10-yard end zones on both ends. Additionally, a five-yard buffer encircles the field. In all, the FieldTurf playing surface covers 130 yards in length. In addition, a 50-yard-by-10-yard speed and agility room is housed in the sprawling training center. The project was made possible through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. William Foley, who pledged a gift of $15 million towards the continuation of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade project. The largest single donation in service academy history, the gift by the Foley family funded the design and construction of the facility that bears its name. The Foley Athletic Center represents Phase II of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade which began in 2001.

The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an officer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation.

Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s history dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington considered West Point to be the most strategic position in America.

He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifications in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquarters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffic. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifications.

In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively eliminated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artillerists. West Point became the nation’s first engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges.

Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, harbors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience.

It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Generals Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach brigadier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent conflicts, MacArthur, Ridgway, Westmoreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command.

Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space exploration, and countless others went on from military service to become leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science.

Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfills the same mission as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy.

Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curriculum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sciences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in selected areas. In addition, the fields-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century officers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science degree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army.

Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the

intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress.

Military development begins with the cadet’s first day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their first year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Training. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in active Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the first- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development System seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army.

Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Values,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the first day. Integrity is reflected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character.

Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconomic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a member of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals.

Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring.

Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into being by Congress in 1802. Originally just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The first graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new officers annually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army.

With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Academy is developing leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the national needs of the 21st century.

“Any of us who went through the process; anyone who felt the flame of that furnace, came away altered in the way we go about running our lives. Some part of it is the belief that you are not only doing it for personal glory, but you do it because it is your responsibility. It’s part of being a member of The Corps and each of us that have felt that magic feel especially privileged to have done so.”

- HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER PETE DAWKINS “As I look back over my career in government, in business, of course in the military, I think West Point was a very influential experience. It hardened a sense of discipline, a sense of responsibility, duty and integrity and also very happily combined an alertness of mind and body.”

- FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE ALEXANDER HAIG “For here we train the men and women whose duty it is to defend the Republic, the men and women whose profession is watchfulness, whose skill is vigilance, whose calling is to guard the peace, but if need be, to fight and win.”

- GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTHUR

“As I look back on my life, I’ll always revere the opportunities that came along that brought about the choice I made to go to West Point. I just feel that it was fundamental in molding the fabric of my life.

The experiences that I had at West Point, they were irreplaceable.”

- ASTRONAUT EDWIN “BUZZ” ALDRIN

“This nation is grateful that four years ago every man and woman graduating today made a lifechanging decision. You left the comforts and familiar surroundings of civilian life, and devoted yourselves to one of the noblest professions in a free country--the profession of arms.”

- FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY

“West Point’s graduates have served America in many, many ways.

Not only by leading troops into combat, but also by exploring frontiers, founding universities, laying out the railroads, building the Panama Canal, running corporations, serving in the Congress and The White House, and walking on the moon. Through our history, whenever duty called, the men and women of West Point have never failed us, and I speak for all Americans when I say, I know you never will.”

DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES

BORMAN

GRANT

ROBERT E. LEE ’29

The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point.

He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was selected to serve as Commanding General of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named General-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.

ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43

Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union.

President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, ending the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.

GEORGE W. GOETHALS ’80

Goethals became an architect and was builder of the Panama Canal, 1904 TO 1914.

JOHN J. PERSHING ’86

Considered the second most senior officer in Army history, behind only George Washington, Pershing served as commander of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The two-million-plus troops of the AEF made a decisive contribution to the defeat of Imperial Germany. Pershing’s abilities as a leader distinguished him among European commanders, and through repeated successes on the battlefield, promoted American prestige around the world. He served as Army Chief of Staff in 1921, and was named General of the Armies of the United States upon his retirement in 1924.

Patton accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in military history in December 1944, when he quickly turned the Third Army northward to reinforce the Allied southern flank against the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge.

The General’s doctrine of aggressive employment of massive armor forces continue to prove themselves in combat arenas around the world.

OMAR N. BRADLEY ’15

During his career, Bradley earned a reputation as one of the best infantry commanders in World War II. He commanded the 82nd Airborne and 28th Infantry Divisions before going on to command the 1st Army and the 12th Army Group. After the war he served as Army Chief of Staff from 1948 to 1949 and served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to 1953.

2010 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

Since Kevin Anderson was introduced as Army’s Director of Athletics on Dec. 13, 2004, West Point’s intercollegiate athletic program has enjoyed immense success both on and off the “fields of friendly strife.”

Boasting more than two decades of leadership and experience, Anderson departed his post as executive associate athletic director at Oregon State University to accept the challenge of re-invigorating Army’s proud athletic program.

The veteran administrator has played a large role in accomplishing that goal during his five years along the banks of the Hudson. In that time, Army has sent 20 intercollegiate athletic teams to the NCAAs, captured its first National Championship in more than 50 years, witnessed the revitalization of its hockey and men’s basketball programs, and experienced unparalleled success in several others, such as baseball, women’s volleyball, women’s tennis and women’s basketball. This past fall, Army’s women’s volleyball team became West Point’s 10th different intercollegiate program to advance to the NCAAs under Anderson’s watch, while the baseball team reached a regional final for the first time in school history last spring.

During the 2004-05 academic year, Anderson’s first at West Point, Army’s athletic program won a National Championship in rifle, sent a record seven teams to postseason appearances, defeated Navy in the year-long series for the first time since 1978 and forged an overall winning percentage of .582.

It marked Army’s finest overall performance in more than a decade.

Seventeen of Army’s 25 intercollegiate teams carved records of .500 or better that year as the Black Knights put forth their highest year-long winning percentage since a .604 effort in 1993-94.

In addition, Army reclaimed the Patriot League’s Presidents’ Cup—signifying the league’s all-sports champion—for the first time since 1997.

Army sent its rifle, gymnastics, baseball, lacrosse, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and golf squads to postseason play, surpassing the previous standard of six teams in NCAA action. Six of Army’s eight spring teams won Patriot League titles that year.

Army’s success opposite Navy snapped a 27year drought in the all-sports rivalry, giving the Black Knights their first series win over Navy since going 9-8-1 (.528) in 1977-78.

Additionally, four Army teams earned NCAA Tournament appearances in 2005-06, highlighted by the women’s basketball team, which earned its first postseason berth at the Division I level. In 2006-07, Anderson presided over a resurgence of Army’s men’s basketball and hockey programs, as well as the continued success of the Black Knights’ women’s basketball squad, which set a single season school record for victories at the Division I level.

All three programs flourished again the following year with hockey earning its first Atlantic Hockey Association regular-season crown and the men’s basketball squad advancing in the Patriot League postseason for the second straight year, a first since 1995 and 1996. Additionally, a young Black Knights’ baseball team captured its third regular season Patriot League championship in five years and Army’s women’s tennis team earned its fourth consecutive conference championship and accompanying NCAA berth.

Three Army teams traveled to the NCAAs last season, headlined by the women’s soccer and baseball squads. The Black Knights’ baseball team gained national attention by reaching the finals of the Austin Regional and nearly upsetting national top seed and NCAA runnerup Texas in a “championship” game. Women’s soccer, meanwhile, made its first trip.

Off the field, construction of the Foley Athletic Center, a spacious indoor practice facility for football, was completed in the winter of 2007. During Anderson’s time at West Point, Randall Hall, which houses offices, locker rooms and team rooms for men’s and women’s basketball, as well as luxury suites that overlook historic Michie Stadium, was also unveiled. Army’s fabled football home received additional state-of-the-art amenities with the installation of a new FieldTurf playing surface and a sparkling 30-foot-by-50-foot scoreboard, complete with a 20-foot-by-50-foot high-definition video board.

In the last year alone, Anderson led the searches that resulted in the hiring of Rich Ellerson as Army’s 36th head football coach, Zach Spiker as the Black Knights’ 30th men’s basketball mentor and Russell Payne as Army’s 11th men’s soccer field boss. In Ellerson’s first season, Army fell one win shy of earning its first postseason bowl bid in 13 years last fall.

Anderson was also instrumental in negotiating a broadcast extension with CBS Sports to televise the Army-Navy football game through 2018, a new national television deal with CBS College Sports Network for Army’s football program, separate contracts with three different cities to serve as host for future Army-Navy games, and a landmark agreement with the New York Yankees that will result in Army’s football team playing one game in each of the next six seasons at Yankee Stadium. As part of the deal, Army will battle Notre Dame later this fall in the first college football game to be played at the Yankees’ majestic new home. In the last year alone, Anderson has secured postseason bowl tieins for Army’s football team for each of the next four years.

Prior to his most recent hectic stretch, Anderson brokered major broadcast agreements for Army’s football program with ESPN and WABC Radio (770-AM), as well as aligning the Black Knights’ athletics teams with Nike, as part of a significant

CENTER FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE The Center for Enhanced Performance (CEP) is a state-of-the-art facility committed to developing the full potential of each cadet through comprehensive mental toughness and academic skills training.

It offers three programs designed to maximize West Point cadet performance, as well as export these critical mental skills to the United States Army at large.

The Performance Enhancement Program (PEP) is the nation’s most comprehensive training program for learning, practicing and mastering the intangible mental skills that underlie human performance; confidence despite setbacks, concentration amidst distractions, and composure under stress. Cadets participate in individual training sessions during free periods in their academic schedule, learning, and then applying the skills of imagery, attention control, energy management, and goal setting. Biofeedback training allows cadets to learn crucial self-regulation techniques, and sophisticated histicated audio and video simulations of game and practice situations are used to facilitate mental rehearsal of specific physical, academic, or military skills. These training methods are derived from the field of applied sport psychology, where they are employed in the training of professional and Olympic athletes, but apply to every other area of human performance.

The Academic Excellence Program provides instruction in academic support skills designed to help cadets succeed in the classroom. Three classes are offered throughout the academic year: 1) the Student Success Course, a 20 lesson course combiningg the study skills of textbook marking, note taking, test preparation and d time management, with the mental skills such as attention control,l, confidence building, stress and energy management; 2) Reading ng Efficiency, a 10 lesson course designed to improve reading speed ed and comprehension through drill and utilization of modern computer ter technologies; and 3) Information Literacy and Critical Thinking, a 20-lesson course taught jointly with the USMA Library staff created ted to enhance problem-solving skills and critically read and evaluate research research.

The CEP Tutor Program organizes final exam preparation sessions at the end of each semester, and cadet tutors for nearly every academic course are available throughout the year.

Most recently the CEP created the Military Enhancement Program (MEP), designed to apply the skills and techniques taught by the Performance Enhancement Program within a military context. MEP Training is now nested throughout the 47 months of the West Point experience.

These programs are unique aids to the every member of the Corps of Cadets who seeks to achieve their full potential in academics, athletics and military training. The Center for Enhanced Performance is a powerful aining demonstration of the Academy’s commitment to provide the finest training available to the future leaders of the nation.

HEAD COACH MICHELLE DEPOLO

First Season (Georgian Court ‘03) After spending two years as an assistant coach at West Point, Director of Athletics Kevin Anderson announced the promotion of Michelle DePolo to head softball coach on April 1, 2009.

The eighth head coach in Army Softball history, DePolo assumed her new role in July when he took over the program from 19-year head coach Jim Flowers, who retired at the conclusion of the 2009 season, DePolo is the program’s first female head coach since moving to Division I in 1991.

“In her two years as an assistant coach at West Point, Michelle has shown the commitment, enthusiasm, and vision necessary to lead the softball program,” Anderson said. “Her knowledge of the game, professionalism, and sincere appreciation for the West Point experience made her the clear choice.”

Prior to her current position, DePolo had overseen the Black Knights’ pitching staff and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. In her first season, she mentored Veronica Barth, a first-team All-Patriot League selection as a utility player, and was instrumental in recruiting the present sophomore that has three of Army’s top four hitters and the team’s leaders in home runs, RBI, slugging percentage, onbase percentage and stolen bases.

“I am very humbled and appreciative for the opportunity that Mr. Anderson and West Point have provided me; as well as the unwavering support of Coach Flowers since the day I arrived here as his assistant,” DePolo said. “I look forward to being a steward of the program and continuing a winning tradition combined with the high moral standards deeply rooted within West Point and the Army Softball program. It is truly a privilege and honor to be entrusted by this prestigious institution to aid in the development of the future leaders of this country.”

DePolo was the head softball coach at the U.S. Military Academy Prep School in 2004. She led the squad to its best record in program history, including a pair of shutout victories over the defending junior college national champion. A six-year coaching veteran, DePolo also worked on the coaching staffs at Georgian Court University (2004-05), her alma mater, Smith College (2005-06) and Amherst College (2006-07). She has spent the majority of her career working with pitchers and catchers.

“I cannot think of any place I would rather be at this point in my career than West Point,” DePolo said.

During her playing days at Georgian Court, DePolo was a versatile performer, pitching and playing various positions in the infield and outfield. A two-year team captain, she led her team to four Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference titles, three Region X championships, three national tournament appearances and an ECAC crown. An All-CACC Tournament pick, DePolo compiled a 0.50 ERA in 2001, allowing just one base runner per inning along with a 4-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio. DePolo also earned three letters in basketball and one in soccer.

A three-sport athlete, who also earned three letters in basketball and one in socceer, DePolo graduated magna cum laude from Georgian Court in 2003 with a degree in English. A Dean’s List student every semester, she was named a Presidential Scholar and a National Dean’s List recipient. She went on to earn a master’s degree in Exercise and Sport Studies from Smith College in 2007.

The Little Silver, N.J., native lettered in softball, basketball and soccer at Red Bank Regional High School. She was named the school’s Female Athlete of the Year following her senior year.

STACY BIRK

First Season

First Season

The first hire by newly-appoint coach Michelle DePolo is one of the new talents in the world of collegiate softball in Kate Stake.

Coppert, an All-Ohio Valley Conference selection in 2008, went on to become just the third Panther in the OVC to record 20 RBIs, 20 runs scored and 20 stolen bases in a season.

Nelson led the team that year in batting (.335) and is just the third player in program history to reach the 30-steal plateau. EIU led the conference that year in stolen bases with 85, the third highest total in school history to rank 16th among the nation’s leaders.

Stake’s first year with the Panthers in 2007 saw the team post a .970 fielding percentage on the homefront, turn 15 double plays along with breaking the school record for doubles (78).

The newest member of first-year coach Michelle DePolo’s coaching staff is Stacy Birk who joined the Black Knights in February as the pitching coach.

Birk brings an impressive resume both at the collegiate and professional ranks. After spending three years pitching for the Philadelphia Force of the National Professional League, she is coming off a brief stint in the collegiate ranks as a pitching coach for Lake Land Community College in Mattoon, Ill., during the fall.

Birk authored a record-setting career at Illinois State where she shined in the circle and at the plate earning All-Missouri Valley Conference honors all four years playing two of those season alonside Kate Stake, a 2005 graduate, who was DePolo’s first hire.

As a sophomore, Birk was named to the MVC honor roll after leading the team in wins, complete games, shutouts and strikeouts, while earning first team honors her junior and senior years. The Huntington Beach, Calif., native closed out her college career ranked first in wins (77), saves (8), shutouts (27), appearances (162), games started (113), batters faced (3,131) and innings pitched (742.2), while listing second in strikeouts (561) and third in complete games (72) – three off the school record. She was the pitcher of record in Illinois State’s first NCAA Tournament win since 2001 as a junior.

On the single season charts Birk lists first (4) and fourth (2) in saves, first (48) and second (42) in appearances and fifth in strikeouts (166). Just as intimidating at the plate, Birk closed out her career ranked fifth in home runs (19) and walks (70).

Just as proficient in the classroom, Birk was a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selection along with being named a MVC First Team Scholar-Athlete as a senior.

After graduating from Illinois State with a degree in Graphic Communications in 2007, Birk joined the professional ranks as a pitcher for the Philadelphia Force. Her first win was a 3-2 decision over eventual NFP champion Washington. Birk posted a 3-6 record starting ten games that summer hurling 53.2 innings in the circle. She had three complete games and also drew playing time in left field and as the designated player.

In 2008 Birk went 0-1 with a 3.65 earned run average appearing in 23 innings, while this past summer registered a 3.84 ERA facing 81 batters over 17.1 innings.

Birk will be involved in recruiting in Southern California.

10th Season Col. Alex Heidenberg enters his 10th season as a volunteer assistant coach during a successful run helping shaping Army’s fortunes as the team’s hitting and outfield coach after joining the program in 2001. Heidenberg was instrumental in the Black Knights’ record-setting 31 win-season in 2002 that took the team to Oklahoma for the NCAA Regional Tournament after capturing the Patriot League title. Army went on to post its first-ever win at that level following a 2-0 upset victory over Utah.

The effort by Army’s coaches was rewarded as Heidenberg, along with former head coach Jim Flowers and assistants Michelle Gerdes and Rufus Phelps were tabbed as the 2002 NFCA Mid-Atlantic Regional Coaching Staff of the Year by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).

Heidenberg has made an impact in Army’s success in the field and at the plate developing some of the top outfielders and hitters in the Patriot League.

The Black Knights recorded their top two batting averages in school history in 2004 and 2005. The 2005 team proved to be the hottest hitting team in the history of the program as the Black Knights batted .300 for the first time with a .306 average that ranked 16th in the country, along with an Academy record 399 hits, 265 runs and 92 doubles. The two-baggers ranked No. 1 in the country per game (1.84), the second time in five years that the Black Knights held that spot.

Army ranked as high as 25th nationally in hitting in 2003, while its recordsetting 25 double plays (0.51 per game) in 2004 ranked No. 2 in the nation followed by a seventh place (0.46) showing in 2005.

Heidenberg’s outfielders have consistently earned all-league honors, collecting 12 certificates, four first-team selections and eight second-team citations.

A 1983 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, Heidenberg served as the officer representative (1993-96) for the softball team in his first assignment to West Point.

Following that tour, Heidenberg headed to Georgia State University where he earned his PhD in Educational Research, Measurement & Statistics. Four years later (July ‘00), he returned to the U.S. Military Academy where he is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. In January 2009 he was promoted to the rank of Colonel with the players in attendance at the ceremony along with his family and friends.

He currently resides at West Point with his wife Rosa and daughters Sara (19) and Haley (17).

2010 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

It is the dawn of a new day and age for the Army softball program with Michelle DePolo taking over head reins of the program following the retirement of 19-year coach Jim Flowers last spring.

No stranger to Army, DePolo begins her third season along the banks of the Hudson after spending her first two years as Flowers’ assistant. The youngest coach to head Army’s program and the first woman mentor at the Division I level, DePolo has surrounded herself with the largest staff in the history of the program.

She hired two of the finest young talents in pitching coach Stacy Birk and hitting coach Kate Stake with 10th-year volunteer coach Alex Heidenberg rounding out the staff.

A returning cast of 17 letterwinners greeted DePolo in the fall with the largest group coming from a sophomore class (10) claiming four positional starters (three in the infield) and the majority of the pitching staff. The upperclassmen provide the remaining seven letterwinners, including last year’s starting battery, with the freshmen class rounding out the 21-team roster.

Most important for DePolo and the Black Knights’ fortunes this spring will be the blending of upper class experience with the youth and talent of returning sophomores and incoming freshmen led by the leadership of co-captains Erin McClain and Jennae Tomlinson.

With the year of experience and maturity to call upon, the Black Knights are knowledgeable in critical positions and loaded with talent, depth and versatility that DePolo and her staff will be looking to bring along one day at a time.

Army will be sporting a different look with a new staff that closed out the fall very optimistic. The Black Knights lost just two starters, including all-league outfielder Sarah Yates, from last year’s team that posted 21 wins during a rebuilding season.

“Everyone worked hard and the fall went well,” said DePolo. “I saw significant changes from the start of the season to the finish with the players getting use to a new regimen and new staff. Everyone is excited and has bought into what we are teaching.

“The freshman class is small in number (three), but I am excited about them. They have a great attitude and work ethic and are tremendous contributors both on and off the field. They love to play the game, are happy to be here and that permeates into every aspect of the program.”

The starters will be challenged, but there won’t be too many new faces in the lineup keyed by the return of two of the Patriot League’s best in McClain, a first-team all-league catcher, along with sophomore Reanna Johnson, a second team selection as an outfielder. McClain, a two-time all-conference selection at two different positions, was also a Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) all-Northeast Region first team selection last year.

Army’s offensive attack returns last year’s top four hitters with sophomore Alexis AuBuchon batting a team-high .359 average stroking 55 hits and a .510 slugging percentage her first season. McClain batted .315 with a team-high 11 doubles along with 25 RBI followed by the bats of Johnson, who hit just under .300, and Clara Navarro who batted .285 with a team-high 27 runs.

The bulk of last year’s pitching staff that accounted for 19 of the Black Knights’ 21 wins returns with senior Jessi Muckelroy and sophomore Shawna Bleyl combing for 19 of those wins and 73 percent of the innings pitched.

DePolo expects to be in a position to show steady improvement and be competitive in each game this spring. Her objective is to take it one day at a time without putting too much emphasis on any one opponent. A key goal for the program is for Army to earn its way back to a Patriot League Tournament berth after falling one game shy of qualifying last year.

“The team is way ahead of where it was this time last year,” said DePolo.

“We are looking forward to facing competition and then returning to the practice field where the real work is done.

“Everyone is important, every game is important and every inning is important,” noted DePolo. “We will take it one game at a time, one inning at a time and one pitch at a time, and if we do the work and let the chips fall where they may, I believe we are going to be okay.”

OUTFIELD Army’s outfield is loaded with experience and proven talent in all three of the positions with the return of senior Cassie Ellington in right field and sophomore Reanna Johnson, an all-conference pick last year, who was shifted to center field with the graduation of league all-star Sarah Yates.

Senior co-captain Jennae Tomlinson and junior Jill Galloway have been in the starting rotation in the corners and will be battling for playing time. They will be challenged by sophomores Natalia Gruenbaum and Jen Parsons and newcomer Tiffany Held.

A regular in right field since her freshman year, Ellington drew 39 starts in 46 appearances last year. She played errorless ball in 46 chances and has committed just 11 miscues in 246 chances over the past three years.

Johnson drew the starting nod in 36 games in left field last year but was shifted to center field in the fall. She is the ideal player to take over the spot with speed to cover both corners complemented by a solid arm. Offensively, she carries a large bat ranking third last year with a .298 average.

As the team co-captain, Tomlinson brings leadership and a settling influence in the outfield, but will be pressed to retain a starting role. Galloway sat our last spring following surgery and is fully recovered and looking to pick up where she left off her freshman year when she hit .250. Solid defensively, she is capable of playing either corner along with providing offensive spark.

Gruenbaum is a solid defender who filled in as a reserve last year and continues to improve. She is productive as a slapper who can handle the bunt game as well as the hit-and-run. Parsons. playing her first year, is a scrappy player at the plate and showed good range during fall ball.

Held, coming off an outstanding high school career as a two-time all-state player from Indiana, impressed the staff in the fall with her play and power at the plate.

“The outfield is where we have the most experience,” noted the rookie coach.

“We have a nice combination of strong arms and decent speed. The outfield has been working tirelessly on their defense all year long as well as getting creative at the plate.”

INFIELD Army returns three of last year’s four starters infielders, all from the

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

CATCHERS Senior co-captain Erin McClain, a first team all-conference pick and allregion selection at catcher last year, will shoulder primary duties once again.

Shifted to catcher last year after spending her first two years at third base where she was all-league pick her freshman year, McClain’s strong knowledge of the pitchers and opponents helped guide a young staff last year.

A strong arm and quick release makes it tough to steal on McClain, who ranks the finest hitters in Army history. She was a top run producer last year knocking in 25 runs and scoring 15 times, while her team-high 11 doubles ranked fourth in the conference and boosted her career total to 24 in breaking into the school’s Top 10 list.

Rachel Duval, who stepped into the third base vacancy last year when McClain shifted to catcher, shared duties in the fall with freshman Tiffany Held behind the dish. Both are solid prospects with quickness and a good arm which bodes well for the future. Held is coming off an outstanding high school career as a two-time Indiana all-state player. A power-hitting lefty, she gives Army an option at the plate. Duval, who drew starts catching last year, registered a team-high six home runs with 26 RBI and ranked second in runs scored (20) hitting .240 drawing starts in all 55 games.

“Catching is and will continue to be one of our stronger positions. I feel very confident putting any of our catchers in any game,” continued DePolo. “The fact that they are all solid defenders as well as an integral part of the lineup with different classes makes the outlook even better.

PITCHING Army’s pitching staff did an about face last year with DePolo at the helm as the pitching coach. The Black Knights entered 2009 with only one pitcher with collegiate experience and no one on the staff had pitched a complete game.

Following a solid spring and fall, pitching ranks among the brightest spots for 2010 with an experienced staff led by senior Jessi Muckelroy and sophomores Shawna Bleyl, Beverly Nordin and Bonnie DeAntona.

“We don’t have a top pitcher,” explained DePolo, who recently hired Stacy Birk to take over as the pitching coach, “but we are looking for everyone on the staff to contribute and to complement one another. Each has their own distinct pitching style and go-to-pitches.”

Muckelroy is the senior member of the staff with 73 appearances. She came into her own last year posting a team and season-high 10 wins (five via shutout), which ranks tied for 10th on Army’s single-season chart. She has good instincts in the circle and excellent control of the corners.

Muckelroy and Bleyl drew the bulk of duty drawing starts in 25 and 18 games, respectively, with Nordin drawing the lead role in 10 while DeAntona appeared in five games.

Bleyl will once again shoulder a key role in the starting rotation and relief duties. She hits her spots well with the ability to come into a game as a stopper

in the late innings, ranking among the league’s leader in saves (2). She posted a 3.06 ERA recording four wins and both saves in conference games, while overall showing a 3.64 ERA logging 129 innings in the circle.

Bleyl had one of the best bats in the fall and could draw time in the lineup both as a pitcher and utility player.

Nordin is coming off a solid fall pitching successfully in different situations after working through mechanical issues. She is valuable both as a starter and reliever after getting acclimated to the collegiate level last year appearing in 16 games with 10 starts posting a 2-6 record, to include a shutout, over 58 innings in the circle.

DeAntona continued to make progress in the fall and gives Army qualify depth. She pitched just 9.1 innings as a freshman last year, but her role should increase this spring.

LINEUP Army has solid batting throughout the lineup but there are questionable areas that DePolo is working on addressing.

“We have a large roster, and I am trying to use everyone in some form whether it be running or pinch hitting or whatever the situation calls for,” explains the rookie coach. “Leadoff is still questionable but we have a lot of solid bats with a mixture of power and consistency.”

Clara Navarro (.285, 27 runs scored) was the leadoff 39 times last year; Reanna Johnson (.298, 12 runs scored) was second 22 times; Alexis AuBuchon (.359, 18 runs scored, 23 RBI) was third with Angela Deger (.246, 11 RBI) batting cleanup as the DP followed by Erin McClain (.314, 25 RBI) fifth and Rachael Duval (.240, 20 runs scored, 26 RBI) sixth. Sophomores Bethany Houdeshell and Brittney Boehrer could also draw duty as DPs or as pinch hitters.

SCHEDULE Army opens its 32nd season as a varsity sport and first with DePolo at the helm when the Black Knights journey to Fairfax, Va., for the George Mason Invitational (Feb. 27-28). It is ironic that her season debut originally scheduled Feb. 13-14 at the First Pitch Classic in Atlanta, Ga., was cancelled because of snow.

“Our schedule is very well balanced and though we were not able to be tested first by Georgia State, the Patriot Classic at George Mason (Feb. 27-28) is just as challenging. We will be non-stop after that tournament and that was the point of adding it so that we didn’t have a long hiatus.”

Playing its first eight games on the tournament circuit with the first at George Mason in Fairfax, Va., (Feb. 27-28), Army opens March in Washington, D.C., as part of the four-team field at the annual Colonial Classic hosted by George Washington University.

Army fans will be able to get a sneak preview of the team prior to its annual trek to Florida when the Black Knights make their home debut (Army Softball Complex) hosting Siena in a non-league twinbill March 11. The team will spend its spring break at the Rebel Games in Florida starting March 15 to the 20th.

“Six of the eight teams we play in Florida are from the Northeast,” notes DePolo, who spent the past two years as an assistant on Army’s staff. “We are familiar with those teams along with Wisconsin-Green Bay, who we play every year, and that should prove to our advantage.”

After returning home, the Black Knights host Rider in a doubleheader (March 28) and visit FDU (March 31) before opening its Patriot League schedule.

Army just missed earning a berth to the four-team tournament field last year and that is a key goal for DePolo and her squad.

“The league tournament has been a dogfight the past few years for the third, fourth and fifth spots with the last inning and the last pitch deciding who earns a berth,” states DePolo. “We want to prepare ourselves as best as possible by knowing ourselves, our strengths and what we are capable of. We want to get ahead early, be consistent and take it one game at a time.”

Twelve of Army’s 20-game home schedule are league matches with the Black Knights playing their first three series at home. Army hosts Lafayette, who reached the tournament finals last year, the opening weekend of competition (April 3-4) followed by defending champion Lehigh (April 10-11) along with Holy Cross (April 17-18). The Black Knights’ first league road trip takes them to Hamilton, N.Y., against rival Colgate (April 24-25), while mixed in between conference games are a pair of non-league home doubleheaders against Iona and Marist (April 7 and 29) along with road trips to Rutgers (April 15) and Temple (April 20).

The Black Knights close out their league slate at Bucknell the first weekend in May (1-2) and are hoping at that point to have a conference berth in hand with the tournament slated for May 13-15 at the home of the highest seed.

2010 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

sophomore class, and six experienced players and a pair of talented freshman that will press for playing time.

Sophomore Alexis AuBuchon returns at first base after coming off an impressive freshman year as the team’s offensive spark leading the Black Knights. She batted .359 with 55 hits, drove in 23 runs, scored 18 runs along with 78 total bases for a .510 slugging percentage hitting in the No. 3 spot in the lineup.

AuBuchon could also shift to the outfield, and that would move freshman Jennifer Handy to first base after being a top contender in the fall where she showed consistency in the field and at the plate.

Returning to take care of the left side of the infield is third baseman Rachael Duval, who led Army in home runs (six) and runs batted in (26) her rookie season.

A talented player, her defensive skills and strong arm make her a prime candidate for that spot again. She could also shift to middle infield and see playing time at the shortstop vacancy or backing up second base. Duval is also the chief backup to all-league catcher Erin McClain following a strong fall performance.

Sophomore Clara Navarro drew 45 starts at second base last year with junior Jessica Garcia competing hard after losing the lead role. A dangerous runner on the bases, Navarro, who could be shifted to fill in at shortstop, led the team in runs scored last year (27) batting .285 with an on-base percentage of .365 as the leadoff hitter in 39 games.

Freshman Alex Reynolds will be fighting for both shortstop and second base duties following an impressive showing during the fall.

“Not matter what, our infield is going to be very young,” added DePolo. “I like the competition I have seen thus far; and overall I am very pleased with every position.”

2010 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

TIFFANY HELD

OFF THE FIELD WITH

ARMY SOFTBALL ...

速

Army’s softball team falls in line with the rest of West Point’s varsity sports when it comes to visibility in the community.

The Black Knights take great pride in reaching out to youth as well as serving as role models. Army is very active in the community, hosting local youth in the Hudson Valley and surrounding area for several years with a clinic at the Army Softball Complex.

This past fall the team was on hand for face painting at Black Knights Alley, a family fun zone prior to every home Army football game, while last winter they were involved in a givea-way at a men’s basketball game.

2010 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

RECORD: 21-34

2010 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

PATRIOT LEAGUE IN 2008-09 In its second decade of combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham and Georgetown as associate members.

These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have, and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country.

Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League finished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 76 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.

The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experiences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society.

During the 2008-09 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams accomplished the following: • 14 student-athletes earned ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Sixty-one student-athletes were recognized as ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict recipients, with 45 on the First Team.

• Bucknell won its 15th overall and women’s Patriot League Presidents’ Cup trophy, while Army won the men’s trophy for the first time since 2005.

• Holy Cross men’s soccer senior Jerry Dickinson was awarded a Fulbright Grant to work and study in South Africa.

• Navy’s Kelly Zahalka earned her third Academic All-America selection from CoSIDA, and was also named to the USA Today First-Team All-Academic squad. She also earned both a Truman and Marshall Scholarship.

• Holy Cross men’s basketball freshman R.J. Evans was named a MidMajor Freshman All-American.

• Three Patriot League men’s basketball players were named NABC AllDistrict selections, the most for the league since 1995.

• The Patriot League finished 17th in the final women’s basketball RPI rating, the highest mark in league annals. The eight teams also combined for the best non-league mark ever with a 61-59 record.

• Two Patriot League women’s basketball teams made the postseason, with Lehigh playing in the NCAA Tournament and American in the WNIT. • Army became the first Patriot League team to advance to the finals of an NCAA baseball regional, and also the first to win two regional games by beating Texas State and Boston College.

• Navy’s Lizzie Barnes was one of 58 student-athletes nationally to receive an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and was also a First Team All-Senior All-America selection.

• Lehigh advanced to the finals of its NCAA softball regional, knocking off Florida A&M and Texas A&M in elimination games before falling to topseed Florida.

• Bucknell’s Andrew Cohen set a record with a score of 208 at the Patriot League Golf Championship, and was named Golf World’s College Player of the Week for his effort.

• Four Patriot League men’s lacrosse players were selected to the USILA All-America team, including Colgate’s Brandon Corp on the first team.

• Army’s Ben Koenigsfeld became the first baseball student-athlete to earn a pair of FirstTeam All-League honors in the same season.

COMPLEX EARNS AWARD Army’s Softball Complex was recognized by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) as one of four 2004 Regional Turface Field/ Maintenance Award winners during its National Convention.

The Black Knights shared that honor with Texas A&M, Tennessee at Chattanooga and Southern Illinois, while Stetson University was named the National winner.

Army’s venue was dedicated seven years ago on March 9, 2003, coinciding with its 25th anniversary season. Located at North Athletic Field adjacent to Gillis Field House, the complex includes a 500-seat grandstand with a fully-equipped press box, dugouts, two batting cages and a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard.

ARMY AT THE NCAA TOURNAMENT

Army softball laid down a solid foundation for building its own dynasty in the new millennium with a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in the first three years.

The Black Knights wrapped up the 2000 campaign with their first-ever invitation to the NCAA Championships after winning the Patriot League title and its automatic bid. Army drew one of the toughest regional assignments in the country, traveling to Seattle, Wash., to take on the No. 1 ranked Washington Huskies in the West Region.

Sixth-seeded Army battled valiantly, but a three-run homer in the bottom of the third inning powered the Huskies to a 5-0 victory over the Black Knights in the program’s first NCAA game. Playing error-free ball, Army threatened in the top of the fifth inning when Chrissy O’Hara ripped a single down the right field line and advanced to second on a groundout. She was stranded at third after advancing on an illegal pitch.

Army threw a scare at No. 5-seed Tennessee-Chattanooga in a losers’ bracket game that went into extra innings before suffering a heart-wrenching 6-4 loss in nine innings. The Black Knights took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second, keyed by Jen Knowlden’s double off the left field wall. Knowlden advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and raced home on an error for Army’s first run in an NCAA game.

The Lady Mocs rallied with three runs in the top of the third to pull ahead 3-1. Army cut the deficit to one in the bottom of the fourth on Knowlden’s solo homer, then tied the game in the sixth on Bianca Brito’s RBI double. The Lady Mocs pulled ahead 4-3 in the top of the eighth, but the Black Knights tied it in the bottom of that frame on Nicki Robbins’ home run.

UTC broke the game open with two runs in the top of the ninth and Army appeared poised to make a run in the home half, but a double play ended the game and season for the Black Knights. Knowlden, who was 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs against UTC, was named to the West Region all-tournament team.

Two years later, another Patriot League title catapulted the Black Knights once again into the NCAA Tournament. Army’s second trip to the Regionals took them to Norman, Okla., as the No. 6 seed in Region 5. Army fell to top-seeded Texas, 4-0, in the opening round at the Region 5 Tournament. The Black Knights rebounded in the losers’ bracket with a 2-0 upset over Utah for their first-ever NCAA win. Shauna Evans threw a three-hit shutout, with Nicki Robbins and Lisa Huntington singling and doubling home Army’s two runs.

The Black Knights put together another stellar effort in their next game in the double-elimination tournament, but their rally fell short in going down in a 2-0 elimination loss to Arkansas (see pages 57 and 58 for boxscores of all five of Army’s NCAA games).

2002 NCAA TOURNAMENT

Army’s second trip to the NCAA Regionals in three years resulted in the first-ever softball win in Black Knight history and just the second by a Patriot League school. It was also Army’s first NCAA women’s tournament win at the Division I level.

Earning a trip to the Midwest and the Region 5 Tournament in Norman, Okla., the sixth-seeded Black Knights capped a 31-19-1 season with a 2-0 elimination-game defeat of No. 5 Utah before bowing out of the tourney with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of No. 4 Arkansas.

The underdog Black Knights battled evenly with top-seed Texas before ultimately losing 4-0 in the opening contest. Army kept the No. 10-ranked Longhorns, led by pitcher Cat Osterman, off the scoreboard for three innings before errors proved detrimental.

Army rebounded behind Shauna Evans’ three-hit shutout along with timely late-inning hits that produced a pair of runs to chase Utah, the Mountain West Conference champions. The Black Knights’ bats came alive in the sixth inning with three hits coming from the top of the order in producing a pair of runs behind Nicki Robbins’ run-scoring single and Lisa Huntington’s RBI double.

The Black Knights (31-19-1) threw a scare at Arkansas before being eliminated. After being held to just two hits over the first six frames, Army led off the seventh with back-to-back singles by Robbins and Huntington. The Razorbacks nixed that threat to hold onto the 2-0 shutout victory.

Army’s 31 season wins set a school record at the Division I level, breaking the former mark of 29 set in 2000. It is also the second-highest victory total in school history, trailing the mark of 33 set in 1988.

2002 NCAA TOURNAMENT RECAP

2010 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

2000 NCAA TOURNAMENT 2000 NCAA TOURNAMENT RECAP Army lived up to its billing as the preseason Patriot League favorite in its 12-10 defeat of Lehigh for the conference title and its first-ever NCAA bid. The Black Knights’ initial trip to the NCAA Regionals took them out West to Seattle, Wash., where they drew the nation’s top-ranked team in Washington.

Seeded sixth in the West Region, the Black Knights turned in an impressive showing despite losing 5-0 to a Huskies squad that had beaten 13 Top-25 teams by larger margins.

Playing error-free ball, Army threatened in the top of the fifth inning, but the runner was stranded at third.

In the next round of the double-elimination tournament, Army battled No. 5 seed Tennessee-Chattanooga to nine innings before going down to a 6-4 defeat.

The Black Knights jumped on the scoreboard first when Jen Knowlden, who doubled, scored on an error.

The Lady Mocs rallied with three runs in the top of the third for a 3-1 lead, but Army cut the deficit to one in the home half of the fourth on Knowlden’s solo home run over the left centerfield fence, then tied the game in the sixth when Sarah Thornton scored on Bianca Brito’s sacrifice hit. After Chattanooga pulled ahead 4-3 in the top of the eighth, Army retied it in the home half on Nicki Robbins’ home run. UTC answered with a pair of runs in the top of the ninth, then turned a double play to nip Army’s rally.

Knowlden, who boasted a 1.400 slugging percentage in going 3-for-5 in the tournament, including a 3-for-3 showing versus UTC, was among the 11 players named to the NCAA all-Regional field.
