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 reigning Patriot League Coach of the 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 the fall of 2009 with new grass sod (blue grass) replacing the outfield surface, while the electronic scoreboard now sports a state-of-the-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 ninth 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, while capturingg the regular-season title last spring. g g

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 three years ago, serving as the “winter home” of the Black Knights. The massive 77,000square-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 UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY


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.


WHY WEST POINT? “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 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.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

ALEXANDER HAIG

“WEST POINT IS THE RING. IT’S THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE.” - MIKE KRZYZEWSKI ‘69

BILL CLINTON


“In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and reechoes ... Duty -- Honor -- Country. Today marks my final roll call with you. But I want you to know, when I cross the river, my last conscious thoughts will be of The Corps ... and The Corps ... and The Corps ...” - 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

DOUGLAS MacARTHUR

“You have ahead of you the best of all professions. Being a leader is the best thing you can possibly be and you’re at a school that will make you the best possible leader. West Point is the ring. It’s the foundation of everything I have done.” - HEAD COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI “From the birth of our existence, America has had a faith in the future -- a belief that where we’re going is better than where we’ve been, even when the path ahead is uncertain. To fulfill that promise, generations of Americans have built upon the foundation of our forefathers -finding opportunity, fighting injustice, forging a more perfect union. Our achievement would not be possible without the Long Gray Line that has sacrificed for duty, for honor, for country.” - PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA “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.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

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.

2011 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

United States Military Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., named the person selected to lead West Point’s intercollegiate athletic department when he announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. Corrigan, who was the senior associate athletic director for external affairs at Duke University starting in August 2008, brings a wealth of leadership to his new post. He is a proven administrator with 18 years of experience in all areas of revenue generation, external affairs, staff management and leadership. Corrigan’s chief responsibilities at Duke included the oversight of the Blue Devil corporate partnerships and the Marketing, Promotions, Ticket, Internet Operations, Sports Information and Video Services departments. In only two years at Duke, Corrigan was responsible for the negotiation of multi-media rights to ISP, which increased annual rights more than 40 percent. “First and foremost, I am honored to have the opportunity to work at the United States Military Academy, the West Point leadership and the U.S. Army,” Corrigan

said upon his hiring. “It is my privilege to serve those proud Americans that serve our country and to be at the greatest leadership institution in the world. “I want to say specifically to our cadetathletes that we will provide them the opportunity and the wherewithal to achieve to their highest ability and to provide our coaches with the opportunity to win championships, and build leaders of character. We will strive for our cadets to achieve great success in their academics, military training and athletic endeavors.” Army operates a 25-sport intercollegiate athletic program, highlighted by its nationally recognized football team. Under the direction of head coach Rich Ellerson the Black Knights finished 7-6 this season and closed the season with a win over SMU in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. A supervisor of the 2009 NCAA Champion women’s tennis and 2010 NCAA Champion men’s lacrosse programs, Corrigan was a part of three NCAA Championships at Duke in just two seasons.

HEAD COACH MICHELLE DEPOLO

MICHELLE DePOLO Second Season (Georgian Court ‘03) Michelle DePolo breathed new life into Army’s program in her first year at the helm, leading the Black Knights to a school-record 33 wins at the Division I level, along with tying the Academy’s overall mark. Her success on the diamond earned her Patriot League “Coach of the Year” honors after leading Army (picked fifth preseason) to the regular-season title and tournament host. The young Army coach guided her team to its third regular-season Patriot League title and first since 1992, along with tying the school mark for conference victories (15). Nationally, the Black Knights ranked No. 25 in doubles per game and 58th in batting average. DePolo brought Army into the forefront of the league after being picked next to last in the preseason poll following her promotion to head coach on April 1, 2009 by former athletic director Kevin Anderson. The eighth head coach in Army softball history, DePolo assumed her new role that July when she 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 junior class that has three of Army’s top returning hitters and leaders in runs, doubles, triples, home runs, RBI, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and stolen bases. In her second season as pitching coach, she cut Army’s ERA in half. “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 at the time of her appointment. ““I cannot think of any place I would rather be at this point in my career than West Point. 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.” 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 sevenyear 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) working with pitchers and catchers. 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. 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, and was named the school’s Female Athlete of the Year following her senior year. DePolo and her brother Steven are members of the coaching fraternity. he is the head baseball coach at Red Bank Regional H.S. Her father, Rudolph DePolo, is a retired U.S. Naval Commander.

Stake helped direct the Black Knights to a school-record Division I mark for wins (33), along with winning the Patriot League regular-season title (third time overall and first since 1992) and serving as host of the tournament. She was instrumental in Army posting a .291 batting average (ranked 58th nationally) behind 420 hits, as the Black Knights shattered the school mark in the latter, along with total bases (578), that were set in 2005.

Four members of the team were accorded all-conference honors, while two firstteam citations were its highest since 2007. A former standout at Illinois State with three years of collegiate coaching, Stake came to West Point from Eastern Illinois where she spent the last two years as a full-time assistant on the coaching staff after serving as a graduate assistant her first season (2006-07). While earning her master’s degree in athletic administration, Stake focused her attention working with the infielders and hitters throughout her tenure with the Panthers and continued in the same position at West Point along with recruiting. During her last two years at EIU, Stake helped develop second baseman Sarah Coppert and shortstop Megan Nelson into two of the top performers in program history. Coppert, an All-Ohio Valley Conference selection in 2008, went on to become just the third Panther in the OVC to record 20 RBI, 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).

SUPPORT STAFF

COL. ALEX HEIDENBERG 11th Season Col. Alex Heidenberg enters his 11th season as a volunteer assistant coach during a successful run helping shape Army’s fortunes as the team’s outfield coach after joining the program in 2001. Heidenberg was instrumental in the Black Knights’ record-setting 31-win season in 2002, and helped shatter that mark following a 33-win campaign last spring. Army captured the Patriot League title in 2002, along with the automatic bid to the NCAA Regional Tournament that took the team to Oklahoma where the Black Knights posted their first-ever win at that level following a 2-0 upset victory over Utah. The effort by Army’s coaches that year was rewarded as Heidenberg, along with former head coach Jim Flowers and assistants Michelle Gerdes and Rufus Phelps, were tabbed 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 (broken last year), 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 Army held that spot. The Black Knights ranked as high as 25th nationally in hitting in 2003, while their record-setting 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 13 certificates, five 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 (20) and Haley (18).

2011 011 ARMY SOFTBALL L GUIDE

RADIO/TV ROSTER


2011 ARMY SOFTBALL GUIDE

2011 SEASON OUTLOOK What do you do for an encore after winning last year’s regular-season Patriot League title and setting a school-record 33 wins in your first season at the helm? That was the question posed to Army head coach Michelle DePolo, one of most exciting young coaches in college softball. She had no trouble answering it saying “we will just keep doing things the same way we been, making adjustments when necessary and let things fall into place. “This year’s team is different than last year, and we will keep working to find the best way to utilize our strengths and maximize everyone’s potential.” That is the philosophy the 2010 Patriot League Coach of the Year takes with her as she heads into her second season at the helm. The young mentor breathed new life into Army’s softball program last year when she led the Black Knights to their first winning campaign in five years, while their 30-plus win season is just the third in school history. “I feel that not only can we compete, but we are capable of winning every game on our schedule,” states DePolo. “We will take one opponent at a time, regardless of who it is, one game, one inning and one pitch. Success will come with what we do every single day at practice, every throw, every swing, every fielded ball. Our focus is on the process, and the product will just show up.” Two all-league selections are among the three starters lost to graduation or attrition among the nine players not returning from 2010. Leading the cast of returnees is first-team all-league pitcher Shawna Bleyl and second-team first baseman Alexis AuBuchon. Bleyl ranked second in the league in wins (15), ERA (2.53) and appearances (30), while AuBuchon led the Black Knights the past two years in batting, including last year’s .367 clip, while ranking among the league’s leaders in just about every offensive category last season. “Replacing players is the nature of college athletics,” notes DePolo. “This year’s squad is a blend of qualified veterans and gifted freshmen, and I am very confident in the team and the personnel we have. Every player is a quality player and a quality person. The returnees and newcomers are working well on combining into a strong unit.” DePolo has nine returning letterwinners from last year’s 33-20 team that was instrumental in posting Army’s highest batting average (.291) in five years, along with welcoming seven talented freshmen. “This is a mixed group as far as what each player brings to the table,” DePolo says, “starting with their positions, to their strengths, to their weaknesses as to how they will contribute to the team as a whole. I anticipate everyone drawing duty in some capacity every game. We will live and die as a team.” The 2011 squad has a solid resume starting with the return of four of last year’s top six hitters, an infield that returns veterans at first, second and shortstop, while two vacancies exist in the outfield. The battery is led by a veteran pitcher and catcher, along with a pair of talented freshman hurlers. “This year’s team as a whole is quicker than last year’s and very athletic” explains DePolo. “Therefore, our game will be different. This is a very versatile team and all of our players are capable of handling several different positions. We will be moving players around early in the season to see what is the best combination for the situation, as well as an opportunity for the team to develop its own identity. “We might not hit as many long balls, but we will be much more of a threat on the basepaths, which is something Army has not been in a long time. Defensively, we are solid, and will be solid offensively and be even more of a threat. The team is scrappy and will make things happen, and I am the type of coach who likes to think outside of the box.“ Team captain Angela Deger will provide the leadership and a solid bat in the lineup as the designated hitter in helping DePolo and her staff post another successful season. A power hitter, she provides Army with a dangerous bat in the lineup.

“The team chose an excellent captain in Angela, who is well respected by her teammates,” says DePolo. “She is everything that is right about West Point and Army softball. Angela puts the team ahead of herself at all times, and always maintains a ‘can do’ attitude.” INFIELD Junior Alexis AuBuchon and sophomore Alex Reynolds return to anchor Army’s infield that could draw a couple of freshman starters. AuBuchon has been the Black Knights’ batting leader since her freshman year when she stepped into the starting lineup at first base. The second-team all-league selection carries a .363 career batting average to rank on Army’s all-time top 10 list after stroking a .367 average last year that ranked seventh in the league. She topped the conference in doubles (17, which ranked 31st nationally with a 0.32 per-game average), and listed among the leaders in hits (58), on-base percentage (.421) and slugging percentage (.532). Reynolds represents Army’s other returning starter after taking over shortstop duties as a freshman last year. She appeared in 50 games with a .279 batting average, along with drawing one of the top spots in the lineup. AuBuchon and Reynolds will once again be mainstays in the batting order as they are excellent hitters with power and consistency. “Both are steady players who do an excellent job, and will have an impact on the success of the team this year,” states DePolo. “Alexis (AuBuchon) has embraced a leadership role by virtue of her position, age, experience and overall demeanor. She knows what she needs to do and continually looks to elevate her game. She provides us with a dangerous bat in the top half of the order. “Alex (Reynolds) is a tremendous player with an excellent swing and good eye who can make things happen. She has been very receptive to the coaching staff and continues to improve on her already impressive play.” Senior Jessica Garcia played shortstop as a freshman with a few turns at second base, which she has played the past two years, and will be in the mix again her final year. A valued member of the team with a strong will to win, she has a solid bat and is looking to elevate her game after pulling up with clutch hits last year. The remaining two infield positions could be manned by all-state freshman prospects with April Ortenzo the leading candidate at third base with Amanda Nguyen in the hunt as the top contender at second base. Ortenzo, an all-state shortstop from Florida, is blessed with a great deal of natural ability as both a defender and hitter. She was among the players in the fall taking turns at third and is capable of stepping into that vacancy following the move of two-year starter Rachael Duval behind the backstop following the graduation of all-leaguer Erin McClain. Ortenzo could also draw shortstop duties. Nguyen is an all-state second baseman from the talent-rich state of Texas who is capable of playing anywhere in the infield or outfield. A switch hitter, she handles the bat very well having stroked a .483 average her senior year at J. Frank Dobie. “Amanda (Nguyen) is an incredible athlete who gives the team tremendous flexibility,” says DePolo. “She will be a threat from the left side of the plate and will be equally dangerous on the base paths as the fastest player on the team. “April (Ortenzo) is an outstanding fielder who played third base during the fall and came up with some unreal plays. She is a phenomenal player who is solid defensively and very quick, and is a consistent batter who has power and can hit hard as well as lay down the bunt. She is a natural shortstop and could shoulder some duty there as well. It all depends on what is the best combination.” OUTFIELD Junior Reanna Johnson, a two-year starter, will anchor the team, along with providing leadership as the lone returning starter in the out-

CATCHERS Junior Rachael Duval takes over behind the plate following the graduation of all-league player Erin McClain, leaving a vacancy at third base following the switch. She is familiar with the position having drawn duty behind the plate in several games last year, while taking over that position during the fall. She is an excellent defender whose quick release and accuracy is capable of neutralizing opponent’s running game. Duval took hold of a young pitching staff in the fall and did an excellent job of calling games. A power hitter, Duval finished third on the team in batting last year with a .331 average and ranked among the conference leaders in hits (55), home runs (5), runs scored (35) and total bases (84). Junior Clara Navarro and freshman Meghan McGowan, slated for the outfield, could draw reserve duty behind Duval. Navarro is a catcher by trade and has played shortstop, second base and third base her first two years, while McGowan also drew time in the fall behind the plate. “Rachael fits the versatility mold of this year’s team. I would put her in any position on the field,” DePolo says. “She is very vocal in her role taking hold of a young staff. Offensively, she provides the team with a powerful bat and can drive in runs as well as lay down great bunts. Clara and Meghan will factor into the picture as backups providing a strong presence behind the plate.

PITCHERS Junior hurler Shawna Bleyl, a first-team All-Patriot League selection who ranked among the leaders in every category, is the lone returnee from last year. Though Army lost three of last year’s four pitchers, a pair of freshmen in Haley Pypes and Marina Northup will provide two more quality arms in forming a top-flight unit. Bleyl led the conference in saves (four) and ranked second in wins (15) and earned run average (2.53) to rank 11th, 134th and 154th, respectively, in the final NCAA statistics. She had a hand in 12 of Army’s 15 conference wins (tied the school mark) in registering eight decisions along with four saves registering a 1.86 ERA. “I am very proud of last year’s pitching staff that went from the highest ERA in the conference to being the leader (3.21) with some of the same pitchers,” states DePolo. “Shawna carried the mail for us with her consistency and came through in big games with clutch performances. When the game was on the line, we wanted the ball in her hands. She ended up morphing into a role of not being a closer, but coming in once we established a solid lead to keep the ball on the ground and let the defense work behind her. “Our pitching staff is thin in depth and experience, but each has a style that we will tap into as situations present themselves.” Pypes, a three-time all-state pitcher from Missouri, impressed Army’s staff in the fall. She is a hard-throwing right-hander with a rise ball and a deceiving changeup that translates well into the college game. Recruited originally as an outfielder/first baseman, Northup pitched in high school and gives DePolo a much-desired left-handed pitcher, the first in several years for the Black Knights. Capable of working both sides of the plate, Northup can throw batters off balance and could draw her share of duty. Pypes and Northup have solid bats and will taken their turns in the lineup. Both newcomers will get their baptism of fire early, and will be seasoned by the time Patriot League competition opens in April. SCHEDULE Army will be well-tested by the time the Patriot League season rolls around. Tied with Lehigh for second in the preseason coaches’ and sports information directors poll, the Black Knights open defense of the Patriot League regular-season title when they host Colgate, runnerup at last year’s tournament, in a four-game series the first weekend in April. Three tough conference road series send Army to Holy Cross (April 9-10), Lafayette (April 16-17) and Lehigh (April 23-24) before returning home to close against defending tournament champion and preseason favorite Bucknell (April 30-May 1). “All the teams in the conference are young with a good mix of youth and experience, and I see it once again coming down to the wire,” notes DePolo. “Last year, Bucknell’s pitching staff was young, and this year Colgate as well as Lehigh is in that position, and so are we. “The team has been improving steadily every week during preseason, and we want to keep that going so that we can peak around Patriot League time.” Army will have its work cut out this year, but adversity is not new to the players. They face it every day at West Point and thrive on it. The team is healthy, it has an infield that has endless possibilities and one that DePolo feels confident could stack up against any infield in the country. Though just one starter returns in the outfield, it will be strong with a solid array of veterans and newcomers vying for positions, and is stacked with dangerous hitters and base runners throughout the lineup. Lastly, a young pitching staff will be primed for action as the Black Knights look to be playing their best ball by the time Patriot League begins, and hopefully win the tournament title and automatic NCAA bid after falling shy of that mark last year.

field, and as one of two returnees in being joined by classmate Natalia Gruenbaum. Johnson took over center field last year after earning all-league honors her freshman year as the left fielder. Johnson has a strong arm and can cover a lot of ground, and is equally as dangerous at the plate and on the bases. She has power to hit to the gaps and can bunt for a hit in giving Army a dangerous bat in the top of the order or in the middle half. There will be a battle for the remaining two spots with juniors Clara Navarro and Natalia Gruenbaum vying with the freshmen for a starting berth. Navarro showed in the fall that she is capable of making the transition to the outfield after playing her first two years in the infield alternating between shortstop and second base, along with a few turns at third base. A strong defender, she is a line drive hitter who can provide Army with a solid bat in the lower half of the order. Gruenbaum found a home in the outfield after logging time as a pinch runner and pinch hitter last year. She has good range and solid mechanics and can hit from both sides of the plate. Newcomers Emily Clemons, Meghan McGowan and Dana VanderLey will be competing for a spot after impressing the coaches in the fall. McGowan is similar to Navarro as both could see significant playing time as a starter or reserve in the outfield or at catcher. A solid defender, McGowan is a developing player who provides Coach DePolo with flexibility. A true switch hitter, she will be a threat at the plate. Clemons, a pitcher in high school, made great strides adjusting to the outfield during the off season, along with improving her swing before being injured. VanderLey provides depth in the outfield and as a catcher. She is a solid hitter who could provide the staff with lategame options. Though freshman Amanda Nguyen is expected to draw starting duties at second base, she could see additional time in the outfield. “Reanna is one of our most solid and mechanical players in the outfield and a natural leader with her presence in center field,” notes DePolo. “All of our outfield prospects are strong defensively and offensively, which results in a lot of flexibility and depth as they battle for playing time. There is a lot of versatility, which allows me to explore different options, while solid bats in the lineup will be a key consideration.”

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 the surrounding area for several years with a clinic at the Army Softball Complex. Army was on hand for face painting at Black Knights Alley, a family fun zone prior to every home Army football game, while this winter they held a clinic in celebration of Women Sports Day at West Point.

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.

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.
