Sun Belt Conference News and Notes
Formed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference quickly rose to the greatest heights of collegiate athletics by sending a team to the NCAA Final Four in the league’s first year of existence. Fast forward 36 years and the league again finds itself at the pinnacle of collegiate athletics as a member of the 11-league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series. Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new

Sun Belt Conference News and Notes
Sun Belt member institutions showed continued progress with the latest release of the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores and the future of the league’s APR scores looks bright as well. In 2011, the Division I Board of Directors voted to move the minimum academic standard for postseason participation from 900 to 930. Additionally, the previous benchmark score of 925 that could result in sanctions will also change to 930. The new postseason eligibility structure will take effect in the 2012-13 academic year, with a two-year implementation window before the benchmark moves from 900 to 930. For access to postseason competition in 2012-13 and 2013-14, teams must achieve a 900 multi-year APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years to be eligible. Fortunately for the Sun Belt, the good news is that 94 percent of current member institutions are already scoring at or above the 930 mark. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-
10 and 2010-11 academic years.

Institutional Profiles of Future Sun Belt Members Georgia State University Atlanta, Ga. 31,533 Enrollment Georgia State is the second largest of the 35 colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia with an enrollment of more than 30,000 students. The university offers 54 degrees in 250 fields of study with more than 1,200 faculty members. Georgia State’s campus now occupies 34 acres of downtown Atlanta with 40 buildings and 7.5 million square feet of downtown owned. Construction is on the drawing boards with numerous new projects. A multi-million dollar Parker H. Petit Science Center with laboratories and classrooms opened in 2010, next to the Sports Arena. Georgia State has graduated 179,000 alumni since the first class was taught in 1913. Currently it is estimated that there are 100,000 alumni living in the metro Atlanta area. Georgia State is in the heart of activity of downtown Atlanta. The Sports Arena and center campus are less than a half-mile from the CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park, Phillips arena and the Georgia Dome. The campus intersects Peachtree Street, the main street of Atlanta. Georgia State played its inaugural football game on September 2010 at its new home in the nearby Georgia Dome. Football was officially launched on April 17, 2008, with Bill Curry named head coach on June 12, 2008. Dan Reeves had served as the consultant to the university during the feasibil-
ity study. A new practice facility was built just blocks from the Sports Arena on MLK Drive. Georgia State student-athletes have maintained a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 for six consecutive semesters. Additionally, GSU’s combined Academic Progress Rate (APR) for all sports is 965. Georgia State has developed a Master Facilities Plan to address the future needs of every sport to best position each program for success. The centerpiece of the Master Facilities Plan is a renovation and expansions of the Georgia State Sports Arena that will transform the existing facility into a modern, 5,000- seat arena for basketball and other campus events. University of Texas-Arlington Arlington, Texas 32,975 Enrollment The University of Texas at Arlington sets the standard for educational excellence in the thriving Dallas-Fort Worth area. With an enrollment approaching 33,500, it’s the second largest institution in the UT System and the sixth largest in Texas. UTA is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a high research activity institution. The university offers 80 baccalaureate, 74 master’s, and 31 doctoral degrees. The university encompasses approximately 420 acres and 100 buildings. The campus is situated near the southern edge of the downtown area of Arlington that contains the city government offices as well as the Texas and Pacific Railway line that the city was originally established around. Johnson Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River, runs along the southern portion of the campus. Cooper Street runs through the middle of the campus and provides access to Interstates 20 and 30. The Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Cowboys Stadium, and the Six Flags Over Texas theme park are all located 2–3 miles to the northeast. In the past few years, several construction and renovation projects have been initiated. New buildings currently under construction include a $150 million engineering research complex, a $78 million special events center, and the $80 million College Park. The special events center and adjacent Col-
Texas State University San Marcos, Texas 32,572 Enrollment Texas State University is a public, student-centered, doctoral-granting institution dedicated to excellence in serving the educational needs of the diverse population of Texas and the world beyond. Texas State’s main campus is in San Marcos, a growing community of 50,000 people about halfway between Austin and San Antonio. Located on the edge of the Texas Hill Coun-
try, where black land prairies roll into beautiful hills, Texas State enjoys a setting that is unique among Texas universities. As the university’s student population has grown — from 303 in 1903 to 34,087 in 2011 — the San Marcos campus, too, has expanded. Today it consists of a 457-acre main campus and 5,038 additional acres in recreational, instructional, farm and ranch land. In September 2010, Texas State University initiated a review and update of the 2006-2015 Campus Master Plan (CMP) with the assistance of Broaddus Planning of Austin, Texas. The Capital Project Budget calls for a total of $739,665,178 to be spent on completing the Campus Master Plan. To date, $150,658,273 has already been spent on improvements and new projects at Texas State. Texas State’s 34,087 students choose from 97 bachelor’s, 87 master’s and 12 doctoral degree programs offered by the following colleges: Applied Arts, McCoy College of Business Administration, Education, Fine Arts and Communication, Health Professions, Liberal Arts, Science and Engineering, University College and the Graduate College. Texas State University is the only university in the state to have a former President of the United States as an alumnus. President Lyndon B. Johnson graduated from what was then Southwest Texas State Teachers College in 1930 with a teaching certificate and a Bachelor of Science in history. In 1965, he returned to Southwest Texas State College, as the school was known then, to sign the Higher Education Act of 1965. Of the student body, about 29,000 are undergraduate students with the remaining 5,000 students being post-baccalaureate or graduate students. The university accepted about 75% of applicants who applied to attend the Fall 2010 semester, this includes the guaranteed acceptance of any Texas high school graduate with a grade point average that ranked them in the top 10% of their high school class. Between 61% and 64% of undergraduate students earn their degree after four years. Hispanic students made up 25% of the student body in 2010, which increased to 27% in 2011, qualifying the university to be designated as a Hispanic-serving institution.
Sun Belt Conference News and Notes
lege Park area are located on the eastern edge of the campus and will serve as a link to downtown Arlington and alleviate a shortage of parking through the addition of 1,800 spaces. With new structures continually rising from the landscape, UT Arlington’s physical campus is undergoing a dramatic transformation. These ambitious projects represent literal signs of growth for a university steadily increasing in national prominence, and they provide visual proof of progress toward becoming a major research university. In the past 10 years, the total square footage in all campus buildings has increased more than 30 percent to 5,227,681. The 234,000-square-foot Engineering Research Building opened in January 2011 and will enhance research partnerships between the College of Engineering and College of Science. The new College Park Center is a $78 million, 218,000-square-foot facility and is a transformational jewel for the campus of nearly 33,000 students and a catalyst for revitalization in the city’s central business district. It provides a new home court for the university’s basketball and volleyball teams, which previously played in Texas Hall, and also gives the city of Arlington a signature facility for high-profile events and entertainment, conferences, and community activities. Of UT Arlington’s 157,000 alumni, approximately 108,000 live in North Texas. Their presence helps the university create an annual economic impact of more than $1 billion in the region.

south alabama wins first Sun Belt Softball Championship BOCA RATON, Fla. – For the first time in program history, No. 2 seed South Alabama defeated No. 1 seed Louisiana-Lafayette 3-1 to win the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Softball Championship on Saturday at FAU Softball Stadium on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. South Alabama (39-15) became only the third team to win the Sun Belt Championship and received the Sun Belt’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, the first trip to the NCAAs in program history for the Jags. USA revenged a three-game sweep from earlier in the season to become the first team to win the tournament without winning the regular season. The Jaguars entered the championship with the No. 2 seed – the highest in program history – and rattled off three straight wins to make their first appearance in the tournament final. South Alabama shutout No. 7 seed Louisiana-Monroe 6-0 to open championship play and then followed with a 9-1 rout of No. 3 seed FIU in five innings to reach the semifinals for the second consecutive season. The Jags needed an extra inning to rally past No. 5 seed Western Kentucky 4-2 and reach the final. Hannah Campbell was named the Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player after hurling four straight wins to give the Jags their first-ever conference championship. The sophomore improved to 23-10 on the season and finished the tournament only allowing two runs, one earned, and 12 hits while fanning 14 for a 0.32 ERA. Fellow Jaguars Brittany Fowler and Haley Hopkins were also named to the All-Tournament team. Fowler – whose three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth proved to be the difference in the final – finished with a tournament-high six runs off five hits, including two home runs, six RBI, two doubles and two walks for a .455 average. Hopkins crossed the plate four times off seven hits throughout the tournament while racking up five RBI, two doubles and one home run to hit at .500. The Cajuns didn’t take long to get on the board. In her first at-bat, Christi Orgeron got her first hit of the tournament with a solo shot over the right centerfield wall to give ULL a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Orgeron, the nation’s RBI leader, added to her total with her 91st RBI on the year. H. Campbell answered for the Jags in the second, retiring three batters in order and striking out two while looking. Christin Crocker’s double to right field put runners at third and second to put the Jags in scoring position, but Ashley Brignac was able to retire the next two batters to end the inning. The Cajuns began to make a threat at the top of the third with three on base. Katie Smith singled to second before Orgeron and Matte Haack were walked, but Brianna Cherry lined out to first base to end the top half of the inning. Alyssa Linn reached base on a single to left field to start the Jags off at the bottom of the third but was left on base when Brignac struck out three of four batters to end the inning. ULL loaded the bases after Smith and Myers reached base on two consecutive bunt singles followed by Orgeron drawing a walk, but the Cajuns left two on base after Haack struck out swinging and Cherry flied out to left field. Smith was called out at third for leaving the base early as Crocker tagged the bag for the final out. The South Alabama bats came alive in the bottom of the fifth. Britany Campbell bunted to get to first, followed by Linn reaching base on a fielder’s choice. B. Campbell was then able to reach second on a throwing error by Myers. Fowler came through for the Jags with a threerun bomb over the right field wall for USA’s first and only runs of the game. Fowler snagged her seventh homer and 40th RBI of the year when she gave the Jaguars the 3-1 that they never relinquished. H. Campbell and the South Alabama defense held off the Cajuns by retiring three in order, but ULL responded at the bottom of the sixth by stifling the Jaguars for another chance to stay alive. However, USA was able to close out the game by retiring the next three Cajun batters in order. Ashley Brignac (21-3) was tagged with the loss for the Cajuns. Despite recording nine strikeouts, she allowed three runs, all unearned, off eight hits and one walk in six innings of work. Myers and Jordan Wallace were named to the All-Tournament team after leading the Cajuns to the championship game. Myers finished the tournament with five runs off seven hits and three doubles to lead the Cajuns offensively. Wallace made two appearances in the tournament and posted a 1.17 ERA after only allowing two runs off 10 hits in 12 innings of work. USA improved to 7-6 all-time in Sun Belt Championship play and will enter the NCAA Tournament on a seven-game win streak, including having won 12 of the last 13 contests.

2013 OWLS season outlook The Owls will have to bounce back from the first losing season in program history. They will also have to overcome the loss of second baseman Heather Barnes who was second on the team with a .314 batting average. FAU will be well equipped to return to their form as a traditional power with their entire pitching staff returning, led by senior Taylor Fawbush. Fawbush was a second team all-conference selection last season as a utility player, seeing time at first base, pitcher, designated player and both corner outfield positions. She also led the team in wins as a pitcher. Also returning is Stephanie Call, who saw action at first base as well as in the circle and led the team with a .325 batting average and six homeruns last season. Junior catcher/ designated player Jordan Stovall will also shoulder some of the burden at the plate. The Mauldin, SC native was arguably the Owls’ hottest batter at the end of the season and hit a team high .339 in conference play. Among the newcomers, freshman Melissa Martinez and JC transfers Shelby Knox and Kathryn Spack are competing for playing time as the Owls will have to replace both middle infielders. In the outfield, Carnesha Thompson and Christina Martinez will add depth to what is already an experienced unit. The Owls play their traditionally tough schedule, facing perennial national powers Michigan and UMass in addition to their Sun Belt conference opponents.

2013 panthers season outlook
The FIU softball team is coming off a 2012 campaign in which the Panthers compiled an overall record of 28-27 and a Sun Belt Conference ledger of 15-9. Heading into his second year at the helm of the FIU softball squad, Head Coach Jake Schumann returns eight players from a season ago, and welcomes 12 newcomers into the mix for the 2013 season. The Panthers expect to build on the foundation laid during last season. The fusion of experience from the 2012 campaign coupled with the tremendous talent of the incoming class will give fans an exciting 2013 season. The Panthers will enter their final season of Sun Belt competition led by seniors Brie Rojas, Jessy Alfonso, Kayla Burri, Alex Casals and Amber Curry, looking to claim the program’s first conference title and third NCAA Tournament bid. Coach Schumann and his staff are excited to add five transfers in Curry, Krystal Garcia, Bre Kaye, Nicole Rascon City/State and Shelbie Wagnon. 2012 First-Team, All-SBC selection Mariah Dawson is one of two returning pitchers on the FIU staff along with Rose Hill, Kans. sophomore Shelby Graves. The Panthers open the 2013 campaign at home in the Panther Invitational against Kansas on February 8.

Joined League: 1991 Louisiana-Lafayette is a coeducational public research university located in the heart of Acadiana. It is the largest campus within the eight-campus University of Louisiana System and is the second largest university in the state of Louisiana. Founded in 1900 as an industrial institute, LouisianaLafayette is recognized for excellence in computer science and its graduate program in evolutionary and environmental biology. It offers Louisiana’s only PhD in Francophone studies, only doctoral degree in cognitive science and only industrial design degree. The campus consists of 137 acres lined by live oak trees. Its quadrangle is encircled by a “Walk of Honor” path which contains more than 80,000 bricks bearing the names of every graduate, beginning with the first graduating class of 1903. Also centered in the campus is Cypress Lake, a swamp-like microcosm of the nearby Atchafalaya Basin, home to alligators, turtles, birds and fish.
2013 cajuns season outlook Coming off one of most successful seasons in program history, the Ragin’ Cajuns softball program still has key pieces in place to keep the level of success on par and possibly reach higher heights. Last season, Louisiana breezed through the regular season suffering only four defeats, hosting an NCAA Regional at Lamson Park and coming within one win of the Women’s College World Series. While the Cajuns must get accustomed to the departure of an acclaimed slugger and run producer in Christi Orgeron and the stability and veteran leadership of Ashley Brignac in the circle, they will lean on the supporting cast of those individuals off last season’s squad. Nerissa Myers (.391, 13 HR, 79 RBI) and Matte Haack (.333, 9 HR, 56 RBI) are primed to shoulder the offensive production that Orgeron fueled the past two seasons. Jordan Wallace (27-2, 2.26 ERA, 167 K) proved a year ago that she’s capable of headlining the pitching staff. Wallace established the NCAA record for best start to a career by a freshman (23-0) and with the movement of her pitches was able to handle several ranked foes during her rookie campaign. Defensively, the Cajuns return all but one position in the infield and with Myers turning the impossible play at shortstop into possible plus the steady anchor of Natalie Fernandez at third base, the Cajuns pitchers won’t have to rely on the strikeout.The return of Christina Hamilton to the pitcher’s circle (ACL surgery in 2012) provides Louisiana with a ready-made No. 2 starter behind Wallace. Left-handed transfer pitcher Kristin Martinez (Kansas) will help the Cajuns keep opponents off balance, especially when conference plays comes around. Michael Lotief enters his first season as the program’s sole head coach after former co-head coach and wife Stefni Lotief stepped down from her position in July 2012. Lotief brought in USA Softball men’s national team member Josh Johnson, who is a fastpitch pitcher himself, to assist with the pitching staff and use his contacts in the southeast to expand the program’s recruiting footprint.

Joined League: 2001 The University of Louisiana at Monroe is a coeducational public university located in Monroe, Louisiana, and is a part of the University of Louisiana System. ULM, devoted to student centered learning, shapes its students to become lifelong learners and prepares its students to thrive in the workforce. ULM, a 238-acre campus alongside the banks of Bayou DeSiard, over 9,000 students, and the academic quality of those students continues to rise. To meet the diverse needs of those students, ULM, established in 1931, offers degree programs within the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, Pharmacy, Health Sciences and the Graduate School.
2013 warhawks season outlook The Warhawks welcome nine newcomers in addition to eight returning players from last year. Senior Janel Salanoa is expected to have a breakout season in 2013. She enters the year ranked in the top-10 in several career offensive categories. Defensively, the outfield is the most-experienced group. There will be a healthy competition for the two middle infield positions as returner Miyuki Navarete will sit out 2013 after suffering an injury this fall. Head coach Rosemary Holloway-Hill says fans can expect all eight freshmen to see playing time this season and that they are a versatile group. In the circle, senior Stephanie Routzon will likely throw the most innings, and Samantha Hamby and Haylie Wilson will round out the rotation. Sophomore transfer Savannah Dollar will see innings in relief. The Warhawks are slated to play 54 games, including a very tough tournament at UNLV that includes Oregon and UCLA. Contests at Arkansas and Ole Miss highlight the remainder of an intense non-conference schedule.

2012 Schedule/Results One of just four seniors on a young ULM squad, Salanoa moved from short to first in her junior season, but it didn’t affect her bat. She posted a .308 batting average in 2012 with five homers and drove in 26 across 48 games to go along with a .469 slugging percentage. She stole 16 bases and was caught only once (career highs in both categories). Salanoa ranked as one of the toughest Warhawks to strike out, fanning 12 times in 143 at bats. Her 67 total bases led all Warhawks in 2012. Defensively, Salanoa recorded 311 put outs and was charged with just two errors, establishing a career-low. This year, Salanoa is expected to start at first base and bat in the third or fourth spot in the order. She is currently fifth on the career RBI list (92) and ninth in career batting average (.308). A native of San Jose,Calif., the senior kinesiology major is the niece of Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu.
Alexis cacioppo - so. › 3b › #22 Cacioppo spent most of 2012 at third base for the Warhawks, appearing and starting in all 51 games. She led the team with six homers and 170 total plate appearances. She also led the team with eight doubles. Her 14 extra-base hits tied for second on the team. She had seven multi-RBI games including a four RBI performance against Grambling State. She finished with 65 total bases, just two behind Salanoa. She tallied 12 multi-hit games as well, including a three hit outing against Middle Tennessee. Her versatility proved as an asset to the Warhawks as she played all four infield positions, though she primarily patrolled the hot corner. In 2013, Cacioppo is expected to start at third base and bat in the third spot in the order. A native of La Habra, Calif., the sophomore is a kinesiology major.

Joined League: 2001 Middle Tennessee State University, commonly abbreviated as MTSU, is a public university located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Founded in 1911 as an education college, the university is comprised of seven colleges offering over 60 degree programs through 35 departments. Enrollment in the Spring of 2010 was 25,188. Of these, over 19,000 were undergraduates and over 2,500 were graduate students. It is currently the second-largest institution of higher learning in Tennessee by enrollment. However, MTSU currently has the state’s largest enrollment of undergraduate students. The campus, set on 466 acres, features 109 permanent buildings with 3.8 million square feet of space. It is located one mile from the geographic center of Tennessee, and 1.3 miles east of downtown Murfreesboro.
2013 blue raiders season outlook New seasons always brings change, and the Middle Tennessee softball program is in the midst of perhaps its largest change in history. With an entirely new coaching staff, a new strength coach, and 10 newcomers, the stage is set for this year’s 2013 softball program to overcome serious adversity and bring the team back to being serious NCAA contender. The Blue Raiders return 12 letter winners from last year, but lost three of their top four hitters (Kaycee Popham, Kelsey Woodruff and Natalie Ysais) and their most seasoned pitcher (Caty Jutson). All-together, MT will have 10 newcomers wearing jerseys this season, including nine freshman, forcing them to learn quickly and minimize early season mistakes. 2012 All-Sun Belt first team honoree Kayla Toney will anchor the Blue Raiders lineup as Laura Dukes adds power and Nina Dever grows into her role as an everyday infielder. In the pitching circle, Jordyn Fisherback returns after suffering injuries to her foot and elbow last season, and is looking to recapture her freshman success (team-leading 74 strikeouts). After finishing at the bottom of the Sun Belt last year, the Blue Raiders have a chip on their shoulders and will look to compete in May.

Joined League: 2001 As one of the nation’s largest public universities and the most comprehensive in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, North Texas is dedicated to providing an excellent educational experience to its 36,000 students. UNT is a student-focused public research university with 12 colleges and schools offering 97 bachelor’s, 82 master’s and 35 doctoral degree programs, many nationally and internationally recognized.

2013 mean green season outlook The 2013 Mean Green team will feature a young but experienced squad. Twelve of the 19 players on the roster are freshmen or sophomores, but they are surrounded by a core of strong and versatile upperclassmen. The Mean Green will also have one of its largest and most experienced pitching squads for 2013. North Texas will be led by its two seniors: utility player Lesley Hirsch and pitcher Brittany Simmons. Hirsch is a three-year starter who has seen time at third base, shortstop, second base and right field. She was one of the Mean Green’s hottest hitters down the stretch, hitting .500 the last 10 games and finished 2012 with a .304 batting average. She was fourth on the team with 51 hits and second with 25 walks. Simmons is a right-handed pitcher who has become the workhorse for the Mean Green. She jumped out to a 9-6 record last year, and then went 2-5 in the second half of the season, before finishing the season strong at 11-11. The 11 wins is a personal best as is her 94 strikeouts in 2012. Simmons is one of five pitchers on the 2013 team. Head coach T.J. Hubbard returns for his sixth season. He led the 2012 Mean Green softball team to its second winning season in school history at 28-26-1. He finished the 2012 season with an overall win-loss record of 132-137-1 after five years as head coach. Hubbard will be joined by two new assistant coaches in 2013: Rone Robinson and Erin Glasco. Brooke Foster, one of the top shortstops in the Sun Belt, returns for her junior campaign. She started all 55 games at shortstop in 2012 and led the team with 60 hits, one shy of the top five. She was also second on the team with a .319 batting average and 33 runs scored. The Mean Green continued its great play at home at Lovelace Stadium. North Texas posted a 15-5-1 record in Denton and a 14-4-1 mark at Lovelace Stadium. The five losses were the fewest at home in program history and the 14-4-1 is the best winning percentage at its home stadium.

Joined League: 1976 The University of South Alabama, the only major public institution of higher learning on the upper Gulf Coast, was created by act of the Alabama State Legislature in May, 1963. With Alabama’s two older universities more than 200 miles distant, the University is strategically located in the greater Mobile area, which has a population of more than a million within a 100mile radius. USA is divided into nine colleges and schools, and includes Alabama’s second state-supported medical school. The university has an enrollment of over 14,000 students. To date, USA has awarded over 62,325 degrees. The University of South Alabama is among the fastest-growing universities in Alabama; from 1998 to 2008 USA enrollment grew 23 percent, while graduate enrollment grew 49 percent.
2013 JAGUAR season outlook After capturing its initial Sun Belt Conference tournament championship and earning the program’s first NCAA postseason berth last year, the University of South Alabama softball team welcomes back 12 letterwinners for the 2013 season, a campaign in which the Jaguars will return active bats, an unyielding defense and an experienced pitching staff. USA’s 2012 run ended in Tuscaloosa, Ala., last May, when the Jaguars succumbed to eventual national champion, Alabama, in the NCAA Regional finals at the Crimson Tide’s own Rhoads Stadium. The Jaguars defeated Georgia Tech, 4-3 and 10-1 (5 inn.), to bookend their first loss to the host – a 5-2 defeat which came at the hand of Tide ace Jackie Traina, who was later voted Most Outstanding Player of the Women’s College World Series. Traina was hot again in the final, recording 10 strikeouts to eliminate USA, 6-0. South Alabama finished the season with a program-best record of 41-17 (17-7 SBC), leading the SBC in overall pitching and fielding. Though it will certainly bemoan the losses of four-year contributors Christin Crocker, Haley Hopkins and Katy Neal to graduation, USA assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Jimmy Kolaitis has brought in four prep-decorated freshman ¬– Haley Fagan (IF/R-R/ Dunnellon Fla.), Clara Bowen (C/R-R/Jasper, Ala.), Stephanie Pilkington (OF/C/L-L/Lake City, Fla.) and Emily Messer (OF/IF/L-R/ Mobile, Ala.) – all of whom are capable of immediate contribution.

hannah campbell - jr. › P/if › #12 Junior Hannah Campbell, the club’s returning ace, will cause a certain amount of anxiety for batters she faces this year. The former Satsuma (Ala.) High School standout was named the 2012 conference tournament’s Most Outstanding Player after hurling four straight wins to give the Jags their first-ever league championship. The then-sophomore finished the tournament only allowing two runs, one earned, and 12 hits, while fanning 14 for a 0.32 ERA.

Joined League: 2004 Troy University is a public university located in Troy, Alabama and founded in 1887 as Troy Normal School with a mission to educate and train new teachers. Troy has since evolved into a comprehensive state university. The campus itself consists of 36 major buildings on 650 acres plus the adjacent Troy University Arboretum. The Troy University system consists of 60 sites in 17 U.S. states and 11 other countries. The Troy University System includes three other campuses in the state of Alabama in Dothan, Montgomery, and Phenix City. The university also has a very large off-campus/distance learning program and offers many courses in conjunction with the United States Armed Forces.
2013 trojan season outlook Troy head coach Melanie Davis enters her 20th season at the helm of the Troy softball program in 2013. The Trojans return their top three pitchers from last season, including All-Sun Belt At-Large Selection sophomore Ashley Rainey, who posted a record of 17-13 in her first season at Troy. Sophomores Jaycee Affeldt and Sarah Thomas round out the Trojans’ rotation, as the duo combined to pick up 13 wins, last year. Offensively, Troy is looking to reload after losing six starters from a year ago. Second team All-Sun Belt Catcher Hannah Renn returns behind the plate following a junior campaign in which the Ft. Walton Beach, Fla. native finished tied for second on the team with seven home runs and recorded eight doubles, while stealing 12 bases. Junior college AllAmerican outfielder Ebony Wright leads a talented group of 10 newcomers as the Trojans look to build off 2012’s 31-24 record and Sun Belt Conference Tournament appearance. This season, Troy hosts the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and is looking to win its first Sun Belt Conference title since joining the league in 2004.

Joined League: 1982 Western Kentucky University is a public university in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It was formally founded by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1906, though its roots reach back a quarter-century earlier. WKU sits atop the highest point in south-central Kentucky, a hill called College Heights with a commanding view of the Barren River valley. The campus flows from the top of College Heights, also known as The Hill, down its north, south and west faces. Besides the main campus at College Heights, WKU operates a satellite campus in Bowling Green and regional campuses in Glasgow, Elizabethtown/Fort Knox and in Owensboro.
2013 lady topper season outlook As the Western Kentucky University softball team returns six of its top seven hitters from a season ago, the Lady Toppers look to make a statement in 2013. Leading the charge is senior Karavin Dew, a two-time First-Team All-SBC selection, who notched a team-high .313 batting average, which improved to.371 against conference opponents, and 18 steals. Dew caught a league-high 14 baserunners stealing as the team’s catcher. WKU also brings back Second-Team All-Conference honorees sophomore Preslie Cruce and junior Kelsie Mattox along with junior Emily Rousseau returning to the circle. Guided by sixth-year head coach Tyra Perry, the Lady Toppers look to return to the SBC Tournament for the fifth time under Perry while giving the coach a historical career win, as Perry is one win shy of 300 in her 12-year career. The 2013 slate will provide challenges for WKU, as the team faces eight NCAA qualifiers from last season, including three that advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals; however, with a veteran group of returners and three talented newcomers, the Lady Toppers are poised to make a run toward the program’s first conference championship.

▼ 2012 Schedule/Results
karavin dew - Sr. › c › #6 Karavin Dew is a two-time First-Team All-Sun Belt Conference selection, the first to notch such an honor in two seasons in program history. She led the Lady Toppers in 2012 with a .313 batting average and 18 stolen bases, which ranked fourth in the season records. The Calhoun, Ga., native’s 50 hits helped WKU rank second in the Sun Belt with 426. During SBC play, Dew tallied a .371 hitting clip while garnering team highs with 26 hits, .450 onbase percentage and 10 stolen bases. The catcher posted 13 multiple hit games with six coming against league opponents while tallying a streak of 15-straight games where she made it to base safely. As one of six Lady Toppers entering their final campaign, Dew looks to solidify her spot in the WKU record books, as she already holds fifth in hit by pitch with 16 and runners thrown out stealing with 23 after leading the conference last season by catching 14 runners.
Kelsie Mattox - jr. › of › #21 Kelsie Mattox had one of the best offensive seasons in WKU softball history. She led the team with 58 hits, 42 runs, 14 home runs and a .583 slugging percentage. Her 14 home runs were one shy of tying the Lady Toppers’ single-season record while her 42 runs placed her second in the season records. Mattox had 112 total bases last season, becoming the second WKU softball player to have over 100 in one season. She ranked among the top 10 in the Sun Belt in nine different statistical categories, including six in the top five. A Second-Team All-SBC selection in 2012, Mattox notched 13 multiple hit games and 11 multiple RBI games, which tied for fourth in the season rankings. The native of Alpharetta, Ga., holds multiple spots in WKU career categories, as she looks to build on such categories as batting average, home runs, slugging percentage, hit by pitch, on-base percentage and fielding percentage where she already ranks in the top five.
