Thirteen Black Knights have been tabbed for conference all-star honors with eight named to the first team and five to the second unit. DePolo was selected the league’s Coach of the Year in 2010 & Morgan Lashley earned a pair of major awards in 2012 - Pitcher & Rookie of the Year.
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 victory that went 11 innings, which still ranks as the longest game 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. r. “The Army Softball Complex is a great facility we e are privileged enough to call home,” noted 2010Patriott League Coach of the Michelle DePolo. The view alone e of the Hudson River and surrounding hills makes it a remarkable location. “Inside, the entire playing surface, both infield and outfield, is flawless. The lights allow us to 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 an 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 in the fall of 2009 with new grass sod (blue grass) replacing the outfield surface, while the electronic scoreboard now sports a 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, celebrating its 10th 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 six times during that span, while capturing the regular-season title in 2010 compiling a season-best 17 game home mark in breaking the former mark of 13 set in 2005. The Black Knights set a Complex mark for home win streak of 15 in 2012 along with with winning percentage of .789 (15-4). . Army has compiled a 101-82 (.552) mark over the past 10 years.
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 five 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-yardby-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.

Applicants compete for vacancies and are evaluated in three areas: academics, physical aptitude and demonstrated leadership ability. Cadet vacancies are allocated to each member of Congress and to the representatives to Congress from Washington, D.C., Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Mariana Islands. Many foreign governments are also invited to nominate cadets under a Department of State program, so the student population at West Point is incredibly diverse.

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

“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

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

“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 “This nation is grateful that four years ago every man and woman graduating today made a life-changing 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 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.” - PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

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.

HAIG
DOUGLAS MacARTHUR ’03
After World War I, MacArthur returned to West Point to serve as the Academy’s 31st Superintendent from 1919 to 1922. During that time, he was responsible for the revitalization of the Academy.

GEORGE S. PATTON JR. ’09
“Old Blood and Guts,” Patton was one of the most colorful commanders in the Army. During World War II the famed commander of the 2nd Armored Division and later the Third Army displayed courage and daring as prominently as the pair of ivory handled revolvers he wore. 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.

Corrigan has also made his mark on the aesthetics of historic Michie Stadium. In order to upgrade the appearance and provide a better experience for Army fans, Corrigan implemented a Michie Stadium branding and signage campaign that began in 2011. The first phase of the project was completed prior to the 2012 season. In addition to his duties at West Point, Corrigan has been an active leader in the Patriot League, serving as chairman of the conference’s Broadband Committee. 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 post.

Superintendent Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., announced the hiring of Boo Corrigan as the Academy’s director of athletics on Feb. 1, 2011. “We have an opportunity to work every day with a truly exceptional group of young people,” Corrigan said. “The opportunities they receive through intercollegiate athletics will help shape their own leadership styles as they become officers in the U.S. Army. We have a great team that focuses daily on our cadet-athletes. We strive to enhance their overall experience as they develop into the leaders our nation needs.” In his short time as athletic director, Corrigan has strengthened and expanded Army Athletics’ relationships in several key areas. In recent months, Army has secured a new apparel agreement with Nike, a new pouring rights contract with Coke and bringing in the Aspire Group to enhance ticket sales and better serve Army season ticket holders. Corrigan also crafted the Team Army concept, a comprehensive plan designed to add significant value to Army’s corporate sponsorships while maintaining the tradition of West Point Athletics. Corrigan, who has a proven record as a fundraiser, spearheaded changes in the Army A Club and ticket operations that have resulted in more than $20 million dollars in major gifts and recordsetting annual giving during his tenure. During that time the funding for a new lacrosse facility, that is scheduled to break ground, was secured. In addition to his role in enhancing revenues for Army Athletics, Corrigan led a strategic planning process that developed a new mission statement and goals for the department. In his first full year at West Point, Corrigan oversaw a program that won three Patriot League championship (baseball, women’s soccer, women’s tennis) and sent four teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Eighteen cadets earned a major award from their conference, including six Rookies of the Year selections and three Player of the Year winners. Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In 2011-12, Army had five Academic All-Americans, including four first-team selections. The Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in 2011, a first for the program since 1957. The Black Knights also boasted three Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including overall men’s winner Brendan Buckley. In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez became the first Army player to win the National Football Foundation’s Willam V. Campbell Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation’s top football scholar-athlete. Rodriguez later was honored with the Amateur Athletic Union’s James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the country. He was the first Army player to receive the award since 1946 and was just the third player in history (Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow) to win both the Campbell Trophy and Sullivan Award. Army has been the focus of national attention since Corrigan’s arrival. He was instrumental in supporting the CBS documentary, “Game of Honor,” that chronicled the Black Knights’ 2011 football season leading up to its annual showdown with arch-rival Navy.

HEAD COACH MICHELLE DEPOLO
MICHELLE DePOLO 2010 PATRIOT LEAGUE COACH OF THE YEAR Michelle DePolo begins her fourth season as Army’s head coach and sixth as a member of the coaching staff, and she is just two wins shy of reaching the 100-win plateau. DePolo, who 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 record, shattered that mark last year with 37. In three short seasons at the helm, she has accumulated 98 wins, twice recorded 30-plus win seasons, led Army to the 2010 Patriot League regular-season title her first year, its third in school history and first since 1992, and reached the championship finals in 2012 for the first time in six years.

The Black Knights tied the school mark for conference victories (15) and wins (33) and closed out the season ranked nationally No. 25 in doubles per game and 58th in batting average. In her first season, 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 at Division I and third overall. In her second season at the helm, DePolo led her team to 28 wins and qualified for the league tournament for the second straight year. Three of her players combined to set five single-season records. Army shattered the school mark with 37 wins posting its fourth 30win season in school history in DePolo’s third year The Black Knights closed out the regular season 14-6 (one win shy of tying the school conference mark set in 2010 and 2004) with the No. 2 seed in hand heading to the tournament where they reached the championship finals for the first time since 2006. Army garnered two of the league’s four major awards with freshman Morgan Lashley setting conference history with her selection as Pitcher of the Year and Rookie of the Year. DePolo’s team claimed seven of 11 player of the week citations as six went on to earn all-league honors with four named to the first team and two receiving second-team honors. Ten of her players have combined to earn 13 Patriot League all-star honors with six claiming eight first-team accolades. Army ranked first in pitching and fielding under DePolo in 2010 and listed second in the latter in 2011. Army was runnerup in batting, pitching and fielding in 2012. In her final season as an assistant, she cut Army’s ERA in half and continues to mentor the pitching staff. DePolo had ties to West Point prior to joining the Black Knights in 2008. She 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 nine--year coaching veteran, DePolo also worked on the coaching staffs at Georgian Court University (2004-05), Smith College (2005-06) and Amherst College (2006-07) working with pitchers and catchers.

ASSISTANT COACH BENET HIGGS
BENET HIGGS (STEPHEN F. AUSTIN ’10) Second Season Benet Higgs heads into her second year on Army’s softball staff after joining head coach Michelle DePolo in August of 2011. Her first year on the staff proved a record-setting one as the Black Knights broke the school record for wins (37) and reached the championship finals of the Patriot League Tournament. Higgs helped mentor Amanda Nguyen who ranked 12th nationally in sacrifice hits (0.29 average) with April Ortenzo 53rd in doubles per game as Army closed out the year ranked 85th in batting average and 90th in fielding percentage. The year prior to her arrival at West Point, Higgs spent 2011 at South Dakota State University as an assistant coach instructing infield and outfield defense, base running, along with being heavily involved in recruiting. A student of the game, Higgs brings a diverse softball background and insight inthe program as a player and coach. Prior to her stint at South Dakota State, Higgs spent a year as a student assistant coach at Stephen F. Austin University. She assisted with outfield and hitting instruction as the program captured its first Southland Conference regular-season title since joining the NCAA Division I ranks in 1988. Along with on-field coaching duties, Higgs will work with outfielders and catchers, hitting and base running, along with continuing as the recruiting coordinator. The 2010 graduate of Stephen F. Austin closed out a stellar career with the Ladyjacks. Appearing in 181 games with 155 starts, Higgs batted .272 over her four-year career (2006-09) with 70 runs scored and 30 RBI. She stroked 25 doubles, eight triples and two home runs, posting a .396 slugging percentage along with 41 stolen bases. A left-handed slapper, Higgs’ speed enabled her not only to reach base, but also to draw extra base hits and stolen bases. She earned All-Southland Conference honorable mention honors her sophomore year as the Ladyjacks’ center fielder and leadoff batter.

Higgs registered a team-high 27 runs, was third with 43 base hits and struck out a team-low 16 times in 175 at bats hitting .246. She led her team in stolen bases (19), while defensively recording 106 putouts and seven assists, compiling a .974 fielding percentage as a center fielder. In spite of suffering a knee injury her junior year, Higgs split time at shortstop and center field while batting .317 and posting career bests in slugging percentage, doubles, triples and RBI in helping lead the Ladyjacks to the program’s first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance in 2008. Though injuries limited her playing time her senior season to just 91 at bats over 36 games, Higgs ranked among the team leaders. She batted .286 with a career high 12 RBI, along with seven doubles. Higgs, who has ties to Texas and the West Coast, has worked and administered a variety of softball camps and clinics across the country. The native of Antioch, Calif., earned a bachelor’s degree in business economics and operations management, and is working towards her master’s degree in economics. Higgs also enjoyed a stellar prep career as a member of the CA Sorcerers softball program and Deer Valley High School where she earned honors as a four-year starter on the diamond and in the classroom. Higgs’ younger brother, Travis, a recent graduate at the University of San Francisco, plays in Japan.

NICOLE CALLAHAN (FORDHAM ’12) First Season Nicole Callahan, the newest addition to Army’s staff, arrived last August shortly after closing out an outstanding collegiate career ranking among Fordham’s career leaders. "We have found a great fit in Nicole to round out our coaching staff this year," said DePolo at the time of Callahan’s hiring. "Fresh off the heels of a stellar playing career, she has competed with and against the best talent in the country. "The epitome of a team player, she brings a wealth of experience in a variety of positions on the field, as well as roles within a team. She is a great leader who conveys an everyday attitude and work ethic that parallels the mission of the Academy.” At Fordham, Callahan wrote her name into the record book after piecing together a 17-game hitting streak this past spring, along with ranking among the top 10 all-time chart with a .302 batting average. She closed out her senior year ranked 37th hardest to strike out and was also among the 2012 NCAA statistical leaders in doubles per game (0.22). Recruited as a middle infielder, Callahan drew duty as a catcher her sophomore year, played in the outfield as a junior and second base her senior year. The four-year letterwinner was a member of the Rams squad that made back to back appearances at the NCAA Division I Regionals in 2010 and 2011, the former the first-ever in school history when Fordham received an at-large bid after finishing runner-up in the Atlantic-10 tournament. Callahan played a pivotal role in 2011 leading Fordham to both the

Atlantic-10 regular-season and tournament titles to earn the automatic NCAA bid. The infielder topped the Rams with a .358 batting average, drove in 20 runs and scored 22 times in earning her selection to the NFCA All-Mid Atlantic Region second team. As a three-year starter, Callahan helped the Rams compile a 123-57 (.683) mark closing out a highly successful career where she drew starts in 148 of 166 games collecting 149 hits, driving in 59 runs and scoring 51 times batting .302 over her four-year career. Callahan graduated in May 2012 with a bachelor of arts degree in sociology. The native of New Jersey enjoyed a standout prep career at Freehold Township where she was voted the school's female athlete of the year in 2008. Callahan was a four-time recipient of the Gold Glove Award, a two-time team MVP and an All-Shore and All-Freehold Regional District performer. The three-time team captain holds school marks for doubles (22), triples (9), walks (45), on base percentage (.505) and slugging percentage (.567).

2013 SEASON OUTLOOK
The page has turned on a 2012 softball season highlighted by a pair of Patriot League major awards, regional honors, a schoolrecord 37 wins and a trip to the championship finals of the conference tournament for the first time since 2006. After tasting that success, the Black Knights are hungry to take home more hardware this year. Though losing four senior members of the 2012 squad that went 37-21 overall and 14-6 in league play, there is no shortage of star power on a team led by a trio of first-team league all-stars in senior second baseman Alex Reynolds, junior outfielder Amanda Nguyen and sophomore pitcher Morgan Lashley. Reynolds and Nguyen, two-time first-team all-stars, will once again provide the power in the lineup. Lashley is the strength of the team with her pitching. As a freshman, Lashley was named the league’s Rookie and Player of the Year, the first player to win both awards in the same season. She put the finishing touches on the season ranked No. 6 nationally in wins after setting school and league marks with 33, along with listing among the national leaders in shutouts (11). Army returns nine letterwinners from last year’s squad led by co-captains Reynolds and junior April Ortenzo. The two leaders, who ranked 21st in double players per game (0.42) in 2011, shore up the middle of the infield at second base and shortstop, respectively. Ortenzo ranks among the league’s top returnees at the shortstop position with two years of experience behind her and has shown time and again that she is capable of making a play deep in the hole. Ortenzo is ranked among Army’s top returning hitters after batting .315 last year with 62 hits and a team-high 37 runs scored. Reynolds, who lists among Army’s career leaders in RBI, runs scored and home runs, batted .302 in league games last year and finished among the team’s leaders in RBI (30) and runs scored (33). Lehigh is once again the Patriot League’s preseason favorite, but will have to contend with a talented Black Knight team that will need the freshmen to contribute as well. “Our goals this season are the same, but more lofty in the sense

that the program’s objective is to continue to be a perennial league power,” commented fourth-year coach Michelle DePolo. “We are working on establishing that goal after finishing among the leaders the last three years. “The focus is on the process and letting the product show up. We want to make the NCAAs and feel this is the year. However, you have to go into every season knowing every team is different. Last year’s team was talented as was the team before it. “You are not going to replace certain players, but we will work with what we have,” continued the Army coach, who is just two wins shy of reaching the century mark. “Our objective is not to replace but to change things and work within the system we created. That will provide us a different look, but we will still be successful.” Expectations are high with a solid group of returning players, experienced pitching and a strong freshman class. The returnees, to include five starters, are led by the top pitcher in the league and several talented hitters. In the three short years that DePolo has been at the helm, Army has reached the 30-win total twice. Due to her success, the Black Knights won’t be able to sneak up on their league opponents because DePolo has earned the respect of her colleagues after taking Army from the lower half of the standings to second in this year’s preseason poll CATCHER DePolo has several options as to who will Rachael Duval, and it will be one of the biggest challenges facing Army’s staff. “It is the first time since I have been here that we have not had a seasoned player with college catching games under their belt,” said DePolo. “We have four young players working hard to make the best option possible for the team.” Sophomore letterwinner Rae Anne Payleitner is in a good position to be the main handler of the pitching staff. She backed up Duval as a freshman last year, and heads into the season the most experienced among the candidates having worked with two of the pitchers.
2013 SEASON OUTLOOK
PITCHING Army had quality pitching last year with freshman Morgan Lashley blossoming into the most talented arm in the Patriot League. She walked off with Rookie and Pitcher of the Year honors as Army’s workhorse in the circle. Army and the league quickly realized her potential when she burst upon the scene immediately. She ranked No. 1 in the country in wins early on and went on to finish sixth overall and 14th in shutouts (11). Lashley broke Army’s single-season strikeout mark with 237, which ranks third in the league, and set records for wins (33), appearances (56), starts (51) and games completed (37) posting a 2.25 earned run average. The hard-throwing first team all-league right-hander posted a stingy 1.85 ERA with seven solo shutouts while sharing another in 20 conference appearances. Lashley closed out her banner year as an all-tournament selection and All-Northeast Region pick. “When you look back on the way Morgan handed the pressure mentally as a pitcher, it was pretty extraordinary,” noted DePolo. “We set forth what could have been an insurmountable task, and she went at it with gusto. “Morgan showed she can handle the workload and is a great pitcher, but now she has to put last year behind her and fall into the mold with the rest of the team. It is a new season and she is going to be successful in different ways, the same way that the team will be.” Sophomore Jewels Steurer (4-5, 6.41 ERA) brings depth to the pitching rotation with a year of experience to fall back upon after earning her stripes last year as one of two pitchers (both freshmen) on the staff. Though drawing limited time in 20 appearances, she brings versatility to the circle having performed as a starter and reliever as a freshman. “Jewels has stepped up and is beginning to realize her potential,” noted DePolo. “She has a few pitches she has been working on that have flourished into viable options.” Freshman Braetana Roy rounds out Army’s pitching staff. Though a freshman at West Point, she has experience at the col-

legiate level having pitched at South Mountain Community College last year. Roy posted a 2.50 ERA along with 86 strikeouts over 140 innings leading her team to third-place honors in the region “Braetana is a strong pitcher, mentally and physically, who did well during the fall while being limited to throwing just two to three pitches,” stated DePolo. “She has a solid repertoire of pitches and provides the team a different look for the opponents when she is in the circle “ INFIELD The infield will be young this year with openings at the corners and behind the plate. Army’s two returning starters are this year’s team captains in Reynolds and Ortenzo. They will provide leadership on the field and at the plate, where they listed among the top three in last year’s batting order. Reynolds is a two-time all-league first-team selection at second base and was the league’s unanimous choice last spring. She batted .302 in league games with a .988 fielding percentage committing just one error in 84 chances. Reynolds ranks among Army’s leaders in RBI, runs scored and home runs. Last year she tied for second on the team in home runs with four, drove in 30 runs and scored 33 times. Ortenzo has listed among Army’s batting leaders since her freshman year. She recorded a season-best .315 average as a starter in all 58 games last year when she led the team in runs (37) and doubles (16). She also ranked among the leaders banging out 62 hits. Ortenzo lists third on Army’s single-season chart for RBI (36) and runs scored (37), and ranks fourth in hits (62) and doubles (16). While Reynolds and Ortenzo provide Army with a solid duo up the middle, the corners will be manned by newcomers. Sophomore letterman Ali Cleinmark and freshman Callie West are pushing each other for playing time at first base as Army faces a tough task replacing two-time all-leaguer Alexis AuBuchon, who ranked among the team’s leading hitters all four years. Cleinmark batted .241 appearing in 37 games last year drawing

Used primarily as the designated player last year, Payleitner wielded a strong bat (.380 with a .720 slugging percentage) with nine of her 19 hits going for extra bases. The second team utility all-star has the power to spray the ball to all fields as evidenced by her four homers and five doubles that aided her driving in 18 runs and scoring nine times her rookie season. “Rae Anne was red hot in the box,” stated DePolo. “She opened up options for her teammates. Where we put her in the lineup was done with the intention of helping players before and after her, whether it be a hit, a walk or to hold back on a 3-2 count. Her presence opened up options for others in the lineup. Rae Anne is intimidating at the plate. She strikes the ball so hard that players would back out of routine ground balls.” There are a lot of moving parts for the catching position from being in every play to controlling the pitcher and keeping track of the count. Also in the mix after drawing duty in the fall are freshmen Paige Vallejos, Alyssa Strobehn and Bernadette Cardon.. Vallejos, a three-time all-region at Corona Del Sol High School, showed in the fall that she is capable of hitting the long ball. Strobehn is a two-time all-state (Utah) selection and all-region pick and Cardon earned district honors playing ball for Ballard High in Seattle, Wash.

the majority of her duties as the designated player. West comes to the team from the USMA Prep School where the two-time all-district pick as a first baseman grew up playing ball in the state of Texas. Freshman Kasey McCravey appears to have nabbed duties at third base after filling in at the position during the fall. The Scottsdale, Ariz., native earned a plethora of honors at Desert Mountain High School as a four-time first-team all-region and all-city selection. She holds her school’s single-season (61) and career marks (198) for hits. Sophomore Alex Gaff could also drawn duty at third base now that she is healthy following surgery several months ago. Last year she played in 29 games with 17 of 23 starts at third base with the remaining six as the designated player batting .200. “I would feel comfortable putting Alex, April or Kasey in any one of the three positions – second base, shortstop, third base,” stated DePolo. “If I had to choose today, all three would be top candidates for those positions, and it would be decided upon as to what works best with their strengths.” OUTFIELD Army used four to five players in the outfield to see what worked best during the fall season. There is just one vacancy in center field and Army has three players looking to replace all-league standout Reanna Johnson. Nguyen, a two-team first-team all-league selection and a secondteam all-region pick last year, has been a consistent force and threat since taking over in left field as a freshman. She could receive additional duty at center field, but DePolo feels her best option is left field. Nguyen sports a strong arm and speed that is uncanny both in the outfield and on the base paths where she has proven to be a dangerous threat. A slap hitter, who can beat out bunts and infield hits, Nguyen has led Army with 70 hits the past two years en route to setting single-season marks for hits, runs (41) and stolen bases (27). She has ranked among the national leaders the past two years, listing

12th in sacrifice hits (0.29) in 2012. Nguyen batted .365 overall and .373 in league games last year alternating between the No. 1 and 2 spots in the lineup where she again finished among the team leaders in runs (36). Junior Marina Northup found her niche last year in right field and, along with Nguyen, provides DePolo with a solid unit in the corners. She will also look to them to provide leadership with young players vying for the center field vacancy. Freshman Christian McKone, a three-time all-state player from the state of Washington, appears to have the lead following a strong performance in the fall highlighted by her potential at the plate. “Christian is an excellent athlete who changes direction well, and has the ability to get on base as a slapper,” said DePolo. “She is a different type of slapper than Amanda (Nguyen). She gets on base either bunting or spraying the ball to the outfield.” Freshman Savanna Aversa and sophomore Alex Gaff could also battle for playing time. Aversa, a first- team all-county pick at Bloomingdale Senior in the state of Florida, is coming off an injury in the fall and has been working hard getting back to 100 percent. DePolo feels that Gaff, an infielder, could also bounce to the outfield if needed. She has worked her way back the past few months after being slowed down by surgery. SCHEDULE Army was picked second in the Patriot League’s preseason poll, trailing defending champion Lehigh by two points after earning 45 points and five first-place votes. “Being viewed among the leaders is humbling, particularly, since we have evolved over the past three years into that position in the league,” noted DePolo. The Black Knights face stiff competition the opening weekend of play as part of a challenging field at the Plainsman Invitational hosted by Auburn (Feb. 8-10). Army’s next stop is North Carolina to participate at the Charlotte Classic (Feb. 16-17) followed by the Spartan Classic (March 2-3) hosted by Norfolk State. The Black Knights then take their annual trek to Florida for a challenging eight-game schedule. Upon returning home, Army faces a busy and demanding slate starting with their home debut on March 20 against Fairleigh Dickinson in the first of 19 games to be played at the Army Softball Complex. Army has only two league series at home when the Black Knights host Colgate at the end of March in their league debut and close against Bucknell (April 20-21). Army has back-to-back league weekends on the road at Holy Cross (April 6-7) and Lehigh (April 13-14) before closing out conference play at Lafayette (April 27-28). Army will not only be looking to secure its fourth straight berth to the league tournament (to be held May 9-11), but is also looking at hosting duties as the regular-season champion. “We have the ability to compete with everyone, from Auburn to the Rebel Games, to the Patriot League,” commented DePolo. “We start off the season with stiff competition as our objective is to expose ourselves to different conferences and styles of competition in preparation for league play.” In February, DePolo was faced with a lot of questions that only competition can answer. Hopefully by the time the league tournament rolls around in May, DePolo and her squad will be a strong and cohesive unit, offensively and defensively. If the stars line up, it could be one of the finest seasons for a young and talented Army team.

Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 24 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, Georgetown and MIT as associate members. Boston University will join the Patriot League as a full member beginning in the 2013-14 season. 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 nearly all of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 84 teams from Patriot League full-member institutions 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 2011-12 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams accomplished the following: In the latest release of NCAA Academic Progress Rate, 94 percent of Patriot League teams scored at or above the national Division I four-year average score of 973. 79 Patriot League teams, and 84 overall from full-member institutions, earned Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA for finishing in the top 10 percent of all teams in the most recent four-year APR scores. Navy won the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup for the first time in school history, and also won the women’s title. Lehigh edged the Mids for the men’s crown. Lehigh, a No. 15 seed, defeated No. 2 Duke 75-70 in a second-round NCAA Tournament game on March 16. The victory is up for a “best upset” award for the ESPYs. Colgate’s Peter Baum became the first player in Patriot League history to win the Tewaaraton Award as the top collegiate lacrosse player, and also claimed the Lt. Enners Award for the same distinction. Colgate’s Elise DeRoo was named the Patriot League Female ScholarAthlete of the Year, while Army’s Brendan Buckley won the Male ScholarAthlete of the Year award. DeRoo was also one of two nominees from the Patriot League for the NCAA Woman of the Year award, along with Navy’s Jess Palacio. Ten student-athletes were named Capital One Academic All-Americans, including first-team selections for Army’s Brendan Buckley (lacrosse), Army’s Zach Price (Baseball), Bucknell’s Tim Bolte (Football) and Lehigh’s Jennifer Colquhoun (Softball). 48 student-athletes earned Capital One Academic All-District recognition. It was the first time in Patriot League men’s basketball history that three teams played in the postseason tournament: Lehigh (NCAA), Bucknell (NIT), American (CIT). For just the second time in history, two teams won a postseason game as Bucknell also beat Arizona 65-54 in the first round of the NIT on March 14. For the first time in League history, three women’s basketball teams earned postseason bids, as Navy went to the NCAA Tournament, American to the WNIT and Holy Cross to the WBI. In addition, the Crusaders defeated New Hampshire in the first round of the WBI, giving the League its first postseason victory since 1991. American became the first women’s basketball team to post a perfect 14-0 mark in Patriot League play. Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum was named ECAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Year as well as an honorable mention AP All-American.

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-theart 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 59 and 60 for boxscores of all five of Army’s NCAA games).

2002 NCAA TOURNAMENT TEXAS 4, ARMY 0 (GAME 1) MAY 16, 2002
2002 NCAA TOURNAMENT RECAP 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
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.

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 Army home football game, while holding a clinic in celebration of Women Sports Day at West Point.
... IN THE COMMUNITY
AT WEST POINT, IT IS OFTEN SAID … “MUCH OF THE HISTORY WE TEACH WAS MADE BY PEOPLE WE TAUGHT.”
