SOFTBALL ARMY 2014 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 on the East Coast, the complex was recognized by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) as one of four Regional Turface/ Field Maintenance Award winners in 2004. Army shared the honor with Texas A&M, Tennessee at Chattanooga and Southern Illinois with Stetson named the national winner.

“The Army Softball Complex is a great facility we are privileged enough to call home,” noted 2010Patriot 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, 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 seven times during that span, while capturing thethe Tournament title and automatic NCAA bid in 2013. Army won 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 113-87 (.565) mark over the past 10 years.

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.

THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY

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

WHY WEST POINT? “In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes ... 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 “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

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS BOO CORRIGAN

Boo Corrigan was named 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 his tenure, 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 record-setting 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 two years at West Point, Corrigan has overseen a program that owns eight Patriot League regular season or tournament championships and sent eight teams to the NCAA postseason (rifle). Thirty-three cadets have earned a major award from their conference,.

In 2012-13 alone, Army accounted for more than 100 all-league citations. Hockey’s Cheyne Rocha and lacrosse’s Brendan Buckley each captured the Senior CLASS Award in their respective sports, making Army the only school in the nation to have multiple winners in 2012-13.

The 2012-13 season was one of the most successful in recent memory on the fields of friendly strife. Army teams combined to post an overall record of 236-183-8. The program’s .562 winning percentage was the highest in eight years.

The winter sports programs had their best season in five years as the women’s basketball team won the Patriot League regular season title, the men’s basketball team posted its first winning season in 28 years and the rifle squad advanced to the NCAA Championships for the 10th consecutive season.

It was also a great year in the competition against fellow service academies. Army split the season series versus Navy, 16-16-1, marking the best winning percentage against the Mids (.500) since 2004-05. The Black Knights owned a 4-2-1 record against Air Force, improving the record to 20-18-2 (.525) versus service academy foes in 2012-13.

Cadet-athletes have continued to thrive in the classroom under Corrigan’s watch. In his two full years, Army has boasted seven Academic AllAmericans, including six first-team selections.

Lacrosse’s Brendan Buckely became the first Army athlete to capture Academic All-American of the Year honors in 2012. In 2011, the Black Knights’ football team boasted two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, a first for the program since 1957. Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Army boasts six Patriot League Scholar-Athletes of the Year, including Buckley, a two-time overall men’s winner.

Twenty of Army’s 24 NCAA programs scored above the national average in the 2013 NCAA APR report. The men’s cross country and wrestling teams earned public recognition for finishing in the top 10 percent of their respective sport. The cross country squad boasted a perfect score of 1,000.

In addition, former football standout Andrew Rodriguez, Class of 2012, 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. Not only was the two-hour program broadcast to a national audience on Showtime, but also won the Emmy Award for Best Sports Documentary. The Army football team was also the focus of a behind-the-scenes book titled, “Soldiers First,” written by New York Times writer Joe Drape.

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. He is a proven administrator with 18 previous 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.

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.

He is currently a member of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Rules committee and the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Committee, while serving on the Executive Budget Committee at Duke.

Prior to arriving at Duke in August of 2008, he oversaw Notre Dame’s corporate relations and marketing as an associate athletic director for five years. During his stint at Notre Dame, Corrigan spearheaded the redesign of its official athletics website and creation of 15-20 hours of original video content weekly. That resulted in a 35 percent increase in page views and unique users. Corrigan also worked directly with ISP Sports, CSTV, and NBC Sports from a sales and marketing standpoint.

Before joining the staff at Notre Dame, Corrigan spent nearly three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the United States Naval Academy. He was responsible for turning the marketing department from a deficit to profit in his first year with full budget responsibility for the department. Corrigan also was intimately involved with the re-branding of the Annual Giving Campaign (The Blue and Gold), which led to an increase of 75 percent year over year donations.

His collegiate experience also includes a stint as assistant director of marketing at Florida State from 1992-95.

Corrigan is a 1990 University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in economics. He is married to the former Kristen Aceto, a former field hockey and lacrosse player at the University of Virginia who also earned a master’s degree from the school.

The couple has three children, Finley, Tre and Brian. He is the youngest of seven children of Gene and Lena Corrigan.

Army head softball coach Michelle DePolo also added Chelsea Cantillo to her staff during the summer of 2013. Cantillo, who held a similar position at Bowling Green last year, will handle infield duties.

“I am thrilled to welcome Chelsea to our staff,” said DePolo, who is entering her fifth season as head coach.

“She adds another dynamic to the program with experiences at very different programs, but is still relatively close to her own playing days at Georgia.

“Chelsea brings a strong softball pedigree playing with the OC Batbusters and Georgia before entering the coaching ranks. The use of her strengths should round out the staff nicely.”

Cantillo spent last year on the staff of Bowling Green staff where she helped the Falcons earn a berth in the Mid-American Conference en route to posting 27 wins last year. She started her collegiate coaching career in 2011 at Utah State University where she worked primarily with the infielders.

During that period, Cantillo helped guide the team to 33 home runs and 215 runs scored, and was instrumental helping three members of the squad earn All-Western Athletic Conference honors. It was the Aggies largest contingent since joining the WAC in 2006.

Cantillo enjoyed a successful career at the University of Georgia (200607) leading the Bulldogs to runner-up honors at the NCAA Regionals in Lincoln, Neb., and Athens, Ga. As a freshman in 2006, she ranked second with a .354 batting average with 32 runs batted in on a team that finished 54-15 and 24-6 in the Southeastern Conference. She earned All-SEC second team honors along with being named to the All-Freshman squad. The following year, the Bulldogs posted a 46-28 mark.

Prior to earning her degree in sociology in 2009, Cantillo worked as a student coach and student strength and conditioning advisor her final two years. Following her graduation from Georgia, Cantillo broke into the coaching ranks at Aliso Niguel High School (2009-10). She is currently working toward her master’s degree in education from Utah State.

A native of Santa Ana, Calif., Cantillo enjoyed an outstanding high school career at Foothill where she was a twotime first-team AllSea View League selection, an allcounty pick and the team’s MVP. Her father, Joe Cantillo, served 23 years before retiring from the U.S. Army.

Defending Patriot League Champions

2014 SEASON OUTLOOK

Army heads into its fifth season under head coach Michelle DePolo, who became the second winningest coach in school history last spring after leading Army to the Patriot League Tournament Championship for the first time since 2002 and fifth overall. The title also earned the automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals, Army’s third overall and first since 2002.

The Black Knights will be young despite having 11 returning letterwinners from last year’s squad that posted a 35-26 mark, along with a 12-8 regular-season conference record.

Army has to replace five starters – two outfielders, a second baseman, catcher and pitcher – to include tournament MVP Morgan Lashley The league made note of the changes and picked the defending champion Black Knights third in the preseason poll behind regular-season champion Lehigh and newcomer Boston University.

It doesn’t matter where a team is picked, what matters is where you finish and last year a young Army squad proved that in coming together at season’s end.

Army once again faces an uphill struggle in playing its toughest schedule in school history with the players earning their “baptism by fire” quickly as five NCAA participants dot the schedule the first two weekends of competition.

“We are going to be young and we will be inexperienced as several returning players could find themselves in a new position,” stated DePolo. “We were young last year and somewhat inexperienced, but we are a little more so than last year.

“We will take it in stride to see how we mesh. We will use our strengths to complement how we play ball.

“We will be successful with a ‘team first’ attitude. We are going to have to pick each other up, and I look to the pitchers and catchers to be setting the stage for the rest of the team.”

The team chemistry is solid with five upperclassmen provid-

ing leadership for 15 underclassmen with senior co-captains Amanda Nguyen and April Ortenzo playing an important role in the team’s makeup.

The senior duo is a strong force on the field, at the plate and on the basepaths. Nguyen is a three-time Patriot first-team selection as an outfielder who ranks among Army’s season and career leaders in hitting and stolen bases. Ortenzo, who heads into her fourth years as the shortstop, provides leadership and stability to an infield made up mainly of underclassmen. It is the second straight year Ortenzo will share the team captaincy on a squad that has consistently been ranked among the national leaders in double plays.

The junior class returns three in the infield in Alex Gaff and utility players Ali Cleinmark and Jewels Steurer. Six players are from the sophomore class led by Patriot League first-team selection Kasey McCravey and hurler Braetana Roy. Nine freshmen round out Army’s 20-player roster to include three pitchers for Army’s arsenal.

Pitching Coach DePolo with have four pitchers as she looks to replace Morgan Lashley, who ranked among the nation’s leaders in wins and strikeouts the past two years drawing the bulk of duties In the circle.

Heading the group is sophomore veteran Braetana Roy, who appeared in 23 of 61 games with 17 starts and 14 completions. She had a hand in two shutouts, struck out 58 posting a 3.46 ERA, and held opponents to a .259 batting average.

“Our look in the circle will be by committee,” explains DePolo. “I like the variety and the different looks we can give opponents this year. In the rotation, and I am open to having them pitch the entire game, in relief or as the closer.

“Roy has two years of experience (Junior College prior to

18 WWW.GOARMYSPORTS.COM

2014 SOFTBALL 2014 SEASON OUTLOOK attending West Point) to draw upon having played at the junior college level and Division I. She can hit her spots moving the ball around the zone, and has confidence in herself.”

In addition to Roy, DePolo has been working with three talented freshmen hurlers in Rachael Dehlinger, Caroline Smith and Kristen West, who hail from the hotbeds of Florida, California and Texas. respectively The trio will be asked to contribute immediately.

“Our defense will change when the pitching changes, and when that changes, the catching changes,” explained DePolo.

“There will be more ground balls, so it is going to be more pivotal for the defense in particular.”

Infield While Army returns an all-conference performer at third base and a four-year veteran at shortstop in Kasey McCravey and April Ortenzo, respectively, DePolo has to find a new glove at second base with the graduation of Patriot League all-star and school RBI leader Alex Reynolds.

McCravey batted .324 last year with 67 hits, to include 12 doubles and five home runs, along with 36 runs batted in and 44 scored to rank second among Army’s top returning hitters. Ortenzo batted .238 with 10 of her 48 hits going for extra bases with seven doubles and three home runs, along with 28 RBI and 20 runs scored.

Battling the veterans for the vacancy at second base are Alee Rashenskas and Savanna Aversa. DePolo also has the option of moving the starters to new positions, but Army is solid on the left side of the infield.

“April (Ortenzo) provides leadership inside and is the type of player who continues to improve each year,” said DePolo.

“She’s been the linchpin of the defense for three years and will do the same this year. She is poised to have a tremendous year as she is not only a leader on the team, but in the Corps of Cadets as well.

“Having Kasey (McCravey) at third base is important right now because of her ability to get a lot of bunts, but it also allows April to play a little deeper at shortstop,” explains DePolo. “April has tremendous range and can cover more ground because of Kasey’s range.

“McCravey has proved herself to be one of the best athletes the Patriot League has ever seen,” continued DePolo.

“She can run, hit, field, throw and has tremendous instincts.

We will continue to rely on her leadership and consistency as the key to our success.”

Juniors Alex Gaff and Ali Cleinmark shared duties last year

Sophomore Kasey McCravy & senior April Ortenzo

at first base with Gaff batting .216 in 31 games and Cleinmark hitting .208 in 45 appearances. The duo combined for 44 hits, seven doubles, four home runs and nine RBI. Gaff could draw the nod at season’s start as Cleinmark is recovering from a preseason injury.

DePolo could shuffle in a few players as she looks to see what complements Army’s strength. Among those looking for starter duty or backup roles are sophomore Savanna Aversa and newcomers Rashenskas and House.

Outfield The outfield has been the hardest hit as DePolo will be tasked to replace two of the positions. Senior co-captain Amanda Nguyen, who led the Black Knights offensively batting .381, along with a school record 85 hits, 48 runs and 40 stolen bases, is the lone returnee.

Not only will there be stiff competition, but Nguyen could find herself playing center field after drawing duty in left field three straight years.

Newcomers Karena Gonzalez and Tyler McKinney will be vying for time, along with classmate Rachael Dehlinger when she is not pitching. Junior letterinwinner Jules Steurer, a utility player this year after seeing duty as a pitcher the first two years, could also contribute in the outfield along with sophomore Savanna Aversa, who spent last year as a pinch runner.

Schedule Army will be tested early and often in a tough non-conference slate that has the Black Knights taking on five NCAA participants the first two weekends of competition starting with the Houston Classic in Nebraska and the host Cougars.

Catcher There is limited experience behind the plate with three sophomores in Alyssa Strobehn, Paige Vallejos and Bernadette Cardon vying for the spot. Vallejos drew the majority of duty as a backup catcher in 17 games last year and appeared in 33 overall.

Army is home for its final two league series against Lafayette (April 19-20) and Lehigh (May 3-4), the latter the regularseason finale that closes out a five-game home stretch that includes non-conference opponent Albany.

Next up is the Patriot League Championship with Army looking to be among the top four teams to earn a berth to the double-elimination tournament hosted by the highest seed (May 8-10) with the winner earning the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

“Everything about our schedule is harder (from preseason to conference) along with the ability to win and go to the NCAAs,” stated DePolo.

“We are going to be young all over the field and inexperienced as well. We will use our strengths to complement how we play ball. The youth aspect is similar to a preseason vote.

It is not where you start, but where your finish.”

If that holds true, don’t be surprised if Army doesn’t defend its Patriot League Tournament title with a return trip to the NCAA Regionals.

Senior Amanda Nguyen

The second weekend has Army competing at the UNCG Spartan Classic in Greensboro, N.C. (Feb. 21-23) where the Black Knights take on NCAA participants Hampton and Minnesota, along with the host Spartans. Army’s third weekend on the road has the team competing at the Patriots Classic (March 1-2) that includes games with Cornell and Rider along with host George Mason.

The Black Knights take a few days off before making their annual trek to Florida for an eight-game slate at the Rebel Spring Games (March 14-18), which will be played this year in Winter Haven, Fla. Army takes on Howard, Creighton, Siena, St. Peter’s, Buffalo, Wisconsin-Green Bay and Albany.

The quest for its second straight Patriot League Championship gets underway upon Army’s return from Florida as the team heads to Lewisburg, Pa., to take on Bucknell in its league opener the weekend of March 22-23. With the conference expanding to seven teams with the addition of Boston University, the teams will play a three-game series instead of four games with a doubleheader played on Saturday and a single game on Sunday.

Army makes its home debut against Rider in a non-conference doubleheader on March 25 in opening a season-long six-game homestretch at the Softball Complex where 16 games will be played in 2014. The Black Knights welcome the league’s newest member, Boston University, to West Point the weekend of March 29-30, followed by a non-conference match with Iona on April 1.

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 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 Army made its third trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2013 after taking a pair of games from top-seeded Lehigh in the Patriot League Tournament Championship series to earn the automatic bid for the first time since 2002. The Black Knights had their ticket punched to the Austin Regional where they fell 5-0 to No. 4 Texas in the opening round.

The Black Knights challenged in their second game after overcoming a 3-0 deficit with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to pull ahead of Houston 4-3, but the Cougars rallied in the fifth to retake the lead (7-4). Army hung tough and pushed across a run in the bottom half of that frame to draw to 7-5, then led off the sixth with three straight hits before having its rally nipped. Senior Alex Reynolds and freshman Kasey McCravey hit safely in both games with McCravey posting a .571 (4-for-7) batting average. (See pages 56-58) for box scores of all seven of Army’s NCAA games.

2014 SOFTBALL 2013 NCAA TOURNAMENT

Defending Patriot League Champions

2013 NCAA TOURNAMENT RECAP No. 1 Army shocked preseason favorite and top-seeded Lehigh twice in the championship series of the Patriot League Tournament after working its way back through the losers’ bracket to shut out the Mountain Hawks, 4-0 and 5-0, to capture the softball championship and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. It was Army’s first NCAA bid since 2002 and third overall as the Black Knights earned a trip to the Austin Regional Tournament.

Army drew host and No. 4 Texas in the opening round with freshman Kasey McCravey going 2-for-3 at the plate, and Morgan Lashley pitching all seven innings as Army suffered a 5-0 loss in the opening round at McCombs Field.

In the second round of the double-elimination tournament, Army erased a 3-0 deficit after taking advantage of four hits, along with an error, to score four runs to pull ahead of Houston,4-3, in the bottom of the third inning. The Cougars rallied in the top of the fifth inning with four runs on five hits, but Army closed to 7-5 in the home half and led off the sixth with three straight hits.

Bailey Watts was summoned and retired the side on back-to-back strikeouts and a flyout in getting out of the bases-loaded jam. Army challenged again in the seventh with April Ortenzo leading off with a single up the middle and moving around on a fielder’s choice and single, With runners in the corners, Watts got out on a strikeout and groundout to end Army’s season.

NOTES: Army’s 10 hits and five runs against Texas are the most in an NCAA Regional game, breaking former marks set against Chattanooga in the West Region in 2000 ... Alex Reynolds’ two RBI and Kasey McCravey’s two runs scored in a game are also the most by a Black Knight at the Regionals ... McCravey had a pair of hits in both games (also an Army first) going 4-for-7 with two runs scored ... the most runs in a game are three (to include a home run) set by Jen Knowlden against Chattanooga in 2000.

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.

Defending Patriot League Champions

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.

2014 SOFTBALL

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.
