Bears Field Hockey

2010 Guide

2010 Missouri State Field Hockey Outlook Head coach Dawn Callahan’s 2010 edition of the Missouri State Field Hockey Bears will be a young squad bent on forging its way to the top half of the MAC. The Bears will feature 13 members with fewer than two years experience, including six newcomers, and only eight returners who played in more than half the team’s 2009 games. Throw in the fact that the Bears will have to replace departed seniors Alyssa Hile and Melissa Lantz who either assisted on or scored 33 of the team’s 44 goals for the season, and this can be deemed a team in transition. But Callahan will be well-armed for the 2010 endeavor. The recruiting class is perhaps the most talented in the Callahan era; the team is welcoming back a previous all-MAC performer from a redshirt season; and last season’s thirdand fourth-leading goal scorers and assist specialists, as well as two top defenders and a versatile midfielder, are among those returning to build on solid 2009 seasons. As for replacing the production of Hile and Lantz, scarcity begets opportunity. And Callahan is ready to see which players will step up and seize those leadership and scoring opportunities now available. “Those (Hile and Lantz) are big holes

to fill, but I feel that we have the kids to fill them,” Callahan said. “I think we are going to be exciting to watch, offensively, because of that. We will have different weapons. It is not just going to be one player. We are going to have three or four girls who could be deadly up there.” With all the turnover and potential, the 2010 Field Hockey Bears will be anything but boring. And maybe that is the key to a needed turnaround for this proud program.

Kristen Pettey

The Newcomers “We are very excited about our incoming class,” Callahan said. “We have an eclectic group. It is a very athletic group. The key to our success this year will be how quickly they make that transition from high school to college hockey, or international to American style.” The Bears will welcome six new faces to the fold in 2010 with the addition of forwards Catrina Schmidt, Hillary Lawless and Casey Bayliss; midfielders Laura Tavares and Meagen Good, who can also be a defender; and goalie Andrea Bain. It is a solid mix of offense and defense that Callahan hopes will blend well. The major impact from this class will most likely come on the scoreboard, with the forwards promised to get a healthy dose of action. In addition to Schmidt and Lawless, Bayliss could be a top offensive threat. “I think Casey Bayliss is going to be someone to watch,” Callahan Stoute and the Bears will try to trip up the rest of the MAC. said. “She is coming in as a junior so she

will be a more mature player. She has great skills and I think she is going to be dangerous in the circle.” The Forwards The newcomers will be put to the test from the opening game, with Lawless, Schmidt and Bayliss all being counted on to contribute big minutes and big offensive output from the forward positions. The freshmen will not be alone in what Callahan calls her most talented position group. The Bears bring back their 2009 third-leading, and top returning, goal scorer in junior Kristen Pettey. In only 13 games last year, she scored five goals to finish third behind Lantz and Hile, and totaled 12 points putting her fourth after the senior duo and fellow forward Kristi O’Connor. Pettey scored two goals in the Bears’ double-overtime loss against St. Joseph’s. She also has the most career goals of any returner, with 12 in 34 games. O’Connor showed plenty of promise as a freshman and made an impression on the coaching staff. “We saw some good things from O’Connor early in the season, but then she struggled with injury,” Callahan said. “It will be interesting to see what she can bring in a full season.” What they saw was a streak four

missouristatebears.com

2010 Missouri State Field Hockey Outlook consecutive games with a goal, a streak that started in only her second collegiate game. She had the most assists, five, and points, 13, last year of any returner despite playing in only 13 games with 12 starts. She finished eighth in the MAC in assists per game at 0.36. Junior Sarah Cusick will be a valuable commodity in that she can play both the forward and midfield positions. Callahan and assistant coach Gabby Gomez Sosa like the improvement they have seen from the junior, and would like to give her more opportunities on the offensive end, especially as a distributor. She had three assists last season, fourth on the team, to go with a goal. She played in all 20 games, starting 18 of them. Rounding out the forward line is the veteran of the group, senior Kelly Irwin. Irwin played in only three games last season, but should see an increased role, especially as a leader for the incoming freshmen. The Midfielders The midfield is the most unsettled of the position groups. Eight different Bears could see time as midfielders, including junior Lori Sinclair who is making the transition from a standout defender and senior Jennifer Portell who has started 35 games in her career.

Sinclair’s 32 starts in 40 career games show she can handle the change, while the Bears will look for Portell to be more aggressive on the offensive end. This group will have the biggest battles for playing time because of its depth, and Callahan thinks the competition among the midfielders will benefit them come MAC play. The depth in 2010 comes courtesy of something many Bears did not have in 2009: health. Sophomores Ramie Masters and Taylor Stellern and freshman Emily Brcic are returning from injuries that sidelined them all of last season. Masters, in particular, is a big addition because of her ability to play both midfielder and defender. As a freshman in 2008, she earned eight starts in 14 games played. Stellern and Brcic hope to showcase their talents that made them promising recruits out of Lafayette High in St. Louis. Just like with the forwards, the Bears will count on freshmen in the midfield. Meagen Good can play both in the midfield and as a defender and was voted the best midfielder in the Sunset League and All-Sunset League First Team as a senior at Huntington Beach High. Laura Tavares could be a difference maker. As a two-year captain at St. Thomas Aquinas High, Tavares led her teams to a 21-2-1 combined

Sarah Cusick

record with one conference title. She was named the team’s most valuable player in 2009 and played in her division’s high school all-star game. Tavares has the pedigree to be a standout. Her brother, John, was the first overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, going to the New York Islanders. Cusick can drop into the midfield when not playing forward. Last year

“I think we are going to be exciting to watch, offensively ... We are going to have three or four girls who could be deadly.” -Head Coach Dawn Callahan she flashed her skills on the defensive end by notching a defensive save, the only by a non-defender, to tie for the team lead and seventh in the MAC. The Defenders This year the defensive line will be marked by the return of 2008 Second Team All-MAC honoree Amanda Miyashita, coming back from a redshirt in 2009. The senior has started 60 of the 61 games she has played for the Bears, scoring eight goals and notching five assists during that time. Her ability to counter and start an offensive break makes her a dangerous facilitator from the back end. Not to mention the influence she will have on the younger players. “She is very vocal leader,” Callahan said. “She is very skilled at directing (other players). It is good to have her back.” Miyashita will lead a talented position group that returns two starters. Junior Reiann Stoute and sophomore Chelsey Medlock will flank Miyashita and should be ready to make the next step in their second year with the program. Stoute is the only returner to start all 20 games last season. She scored a goal and had two assists, but showed she could be more of a threat on the offensive end after firing five shots on goal, most coming from set penalty corners. Medlock earned a starting role as the

2010 Guide

2010 Missouri State Field Hockey Outlook team headed into conference play last season, and never relinquished it. She finished with 12 starts in 19 games. Callahan said Medlock solidified her position after a strong run of spring practices. Two upperclassmen will provide depth and compete for time. Senior Liz Grasso returns for her final season, and junior Kelsey Lomax will try to overcome injuries that limited her to nine games the last two seasons. The Goalkeepers Sophomore Steph Anderson is the incumbent starter in goal, but freshman Andrea Bain could push her for serious minutes. Anderson had an upand-down freshman year in 2009, but when she was up she was tough to score on. She tied for second in the MAC in shutouts (2) and saves per game (6.33), and was third in saves (114). She was fourth in the nation among freshmen in saves per game, and her 19 saves against St. Joseph’s were the 11th-highest single-game total of any keeper in the country, the second highest of any freshman and the most of any MAC keeper. Anderson also recorded double-digit saves against Stanford (14), No. 16 Louisville (15), Ohio (12) and Miami (10). Bain has an impressive resume of her own. She started every game in her four years at Oak Bay High and was named team captain and most valuable player both her junior and senior seasons. As a senior, she helped lead Oak Bay High to an Island Championship, dethroning 16-time defending champion Cowachain Secondary in the title game decided by a penalty stroke off. “She has played at a high level; she

played on a provincial team in British Columbia, she has played mixed (coed) hockey,” Callahan said. “She will have an easier transition from high school to college because she has seen the speed.” The Schedule The Bears’ 2010 schedule features nine home games, the most in head coach Dawn Callahan’s 13 seasons, as they try to claw their way to the top half of the Mid-American Conference. “I am extremely excited about our schedule this year,” Callahan said. “Having rematches against Pacific and UC Davis in Missouri will be big for us, as will playing the majority of our MAC games at home. We have the opportunity, now we have the take care of business at home.” The Bears were 3-4 last season at the friendly confines of Plaster Field, including a 3-2 overtime stunner of eventual MAC regular season and tournament champion, Ohio University. Callahan’s squad will open that home slate, and the regular season, with an Aug. 28 visit from Lindenwood. The Bears last faced the Lions in 2008 and came out on the winning end of an 8-0 decision. MSU leads the all-time series, 6-1. From there, the team travels to Hanover, N.H., for two weekend games against Fairfield and Dartmouth, Sept. 4-5. They are back in the Show-Me State but away from home for Sept. 10-11 games against in-state rival Saint Louis and Big Ten power Northwestern on the Billikens’ campus. Two midweek home games against UC Davis (Sept. 15) and Saint Louis (Sept. 29) sandwich road games at Indiana (Sept. 19) and against Pacific in St. Louis, Mo., (Sept. 26) to close out

Callahan said two Big Ten opponents are always a highlight on the non-conference schedule. “Northwestern and Indiana will be good tests for us,” she said. “It will show us how far we have come and how far we still need to go.” A trip to Muncie, Ind., and Ball State the first weekend of October brings conference play and the first of four road MAC games. That same weekend, they will face Miami in Oxford, Ohio. The following weekend is a two-game swing at Ohio and Kent State. Then it is back home for the final six regular season games. The Bears will welcome all five MAC teams to Springfield, with two games against Central Michigan for travel purposes. A Halloween game against Kent State will serve as the regular-season finale. Mt. Pleasant, Mich., and Central Michigan will host the 2010 MAC Tournament, Nov. 4-6. And just like it is every year, Callahan expects a battle throughout the MAC, especially at the top where Miami, Ohio and Kent State have established themselves as the class of the conference. Ohio and Kent State shared the regular season crown last year, with Ohio winning the MAC Tournament and advancing to the NCAA Tournament where they lost in the play-in game. The 2010 season is a new field hockey year, and the Bears hope it will be their turn to enjoy life in the MAC’s top tier.

The Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity is distinguished by its statewide mission in public affairs, requiring a campus-wide commitment to foster competence and responsibility in the common vocation of citizenship. The academic experience is grounded in a general education curriculum which draws heavily from the liberal arts and sciences. This foundation provides the basis for mastery of disciplinary and professional studies. It also provides essential forums in which students develop the capacity to make wellinformed, independent critical judgments about the cultures, values and institutions in society. The task of developing educated persons obligates the University to expand the store of human understanding through research, scholarship and creative endeavor, and drawing from that store of understanding, to provide service to the communities that support it. In all of its programs, the University uses the most effective methods of discovering and imparting knowledge and the appropriate use of technology in support of these activities. The University functions through a multi-campus system that is integrated to address the needs of its constituents.

Missouri State Vice Presidents & Faculty Representative

President First Year at Missouri State

Dr. James E. Cofer, Sr., began his first year as president of Missouri State University on August 2. He was introduced to the campus and Springfield community as the school’s 10th president on May 14, following a nationwide search. Cofer came to Springfield after serving as president of the University of Louisiana at Monroe since 2002. He replaced Dr. Michael T. Nietzel, who had been MSU’s president since July 2005. Additionally, Cofer will be a tenured professor in MSU’s College of Business Administration. “I am deeply honored by the Board’s decision and its confidence in me,” Cofer said on May 14. “I have been a fan of Missouri State University for many years and I look forward to continuing the good work that has been done here. Working with the faculty, staff, students, community, governmental leaders and all other constituent groups, I think we can create and achieve a shared vision for the university.” Cofer earned a reputation as the leader of an “extraordinary renaissance” at the University of Louisiana at Monroe over his eight years as president. When he and his wife, Deborah, arrived at ULM in 2002, they immediately began the “Reclaiming Our Campus” campaign, which involved more than 2,000 students, faculty, staff, community leaders, and area citizens who cleaned, planted flowers and repainted the campus. Shortly thereafter, Cofer developed an ambitious visionary plan that included more than $80 million in new construction and renovations on campus. Students, whose academic achievements continue to proliferate every year, now enjoy the newest, up-to-date residence halls, state-of-the-art “smart classrooms,” a completely-renovated Student Union Building and multiple campus security improvements. In 2007, students rated ULM higher than ever before – breaking a record for student satisfaction at the institution and surpassing student satisfaction at the national level. With the help of engaged faculty, ULM also patterned its mathematics and English course redesigns after the National Center for Academic Transformation’s Roadmap to Redesign philosophy, utilizing sound methodology, student-centered learning, clear assessment criteria and effective technology incorporation in 2007. To further encourage student success, ULM implemented living-learning communities, peer and faculty mentoring programs, extensive undergraduate research initiatives and advanced technological modalities. Cognizant of adult learners and today’s busy student, Cofer advocated “anytime, anywhere, anyplace instruction,” resulting in additional online courses and degree programs at ULM. Cofer earned his Ed.D. in Higher Education Administration from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in December 1998. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1971 and his MBA in 1975, both from Mississippi State University. Prior to becoming president of the University of Louisiana at Monroe in March of 2002, Cofer served as vice president for finance and administration for the University of Missouri System from 1998-2002. Prior to that, he was vice president for finance and administration for the University of Arkansas System from 1995-98; Eisenhower Fellow in Budapest, Hungary, in 1995-96; and vice chancellor for fiscal affairs and treasurer of the Board of Regents for the University System of Georgia from 1991-95. He also has held positions in finance and administration with the Mississippi Power and Light Company; Murray State University; the State of Mississippi; and the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning. Cofer and his wife, Deborah, have two children and two grandchildren.

Moats Director of Athletics Second Year at Missouri State

Missouri State University’s search for its new director of athletics concluded May 28, 2009, with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the University’s 10th A.D. Moats came to the University after serving as associate athletics director for national marketing at the University of Louisville since 2005. Moats began his duties at Missouri State in July 2009, replacing Bill Rowe, who retired after spending 27 years as Missouri State’s top athletics administrator and more than a half century at the university as a student, coach and administrator. In a busy first year on the job, Moats wasted little time in laying groundwork for the future of Missouri State Athletics. From day one he emphasized the importance of fostering a strategic vision in the current landscape of intercollegiate athletics by involving all corners of the campus community in developoing a long-range plan for the MSU Athletics. Moats played a key role in Missouri State’s new partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (NSM), announced in February 2010. The agreement will result in the outsourcing of the departments’ marketing and corporate sales operations while maximizing revenue potential for MSU Athletics. Additionally, Moats was instrumental in MSU’s negotiations for a new television contract this past summer. Prior to his arrival in Springfield, Moats spent four years as associate athletics director for national marketing at Louisville. In that capacity, he coordinated the Cardinals’ efforts in national awareness, marketing, branding and group ticket sales. He also worked closely with Nelligan, which manages the exclusive marketing rights for Cardinal Athletics. Moats oversaw the Louisville band and spirit squads as the liaison with student government and student spirit groups. Prior to joining the Louisville staff, Moats served as senior associate athletic director for two years at Marquette University, where oversaw the Golden Eagles’ Blue and Gold Fund, media relations, ticket operations, special events, licensing, radio, television, marketing and promotions and sponsorships with NSM. He also worked 14 years in the University of Kentucky athletics department, including his last three there as associate athletics director for marketing (2000-02). Moats joined the UK staff as a graduate assistant in the athletics office in 1989, and in 1991 was promoted to coordinator of promotions and special events. He became the Wildcats’ director of marketing, promotions and licensing in 1993 before being named assistant athletics director for marketing in 1996. He served as tournament manager for the 1993 NCAA Golf Championships and the 1996 and 1998 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament events in Lexington. A native of Dixon, Ill., Moats is a 1988 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. While at SIUE, Moats was a three-year letterwinner in golf and was a student assistant basketball coach for the Cougars from 1985-1988. He earned a master’s degree in sports management from the University of Kentucky in 2001. Moats and his wife, Leeann, have two children, Kirk and Lauren.

The Bears Fund The Bears Fund is the annual fund-raising program for Missouri State intercollegiate athletics that was established in 1981 in conjunction with the move of MSU athletics to NCAA Division I status. The fund’s name stands for “Building Excellence in Athletics through Recruiting and Scholarships,” and its impact on Missouri State Athletics has grown substantially throughout the 29 years of its existence. The 2009-10 drive netted over $2.75 million, marking the 22nd year in a row in which total contributions to The Bears Fund have gone beyond $1 million. The fund is administered by the Missouri State University Foundation with additional input from coaching and administrative staff members in intercollegiate athletics. Contributors of $50 or more during each year are recognized as members at various giving levels in The Bears Fund, and, as such, receive benefits within the athletic program, including game program recognition, online athletics newsletter, and parking and postseason ticket considerations. Bears Fund gifts may be earmarked for specific sports or general use and the money is used to enhance MSU athletics, particularly in the areas of scholarships and recruiting. Contributions may be cash, gifts in kind of goods or services, matching gifts from employers, bequests or life income trusts and honorary or memorial gifts. An additional fund-raising event that’s a popular latesummer social event for MSU fans is the Missouri State Auction Benefiting Athletics. Held in August for each of the past 23 years, the auction has generated additional income for athletic uses with an evening of food, fun and entertainment. Individuals and businesses donate goods or services for sale at the auction, and the income derived from that sale goes to intercollegiate athletics. Items available for purchase at the auction since it began in 1987 have included automobiles, a thoroughbred racehorse, country club memberships, advertising packages, travel opportunities including road trips with MSU athletic teams, furs, jewelry, sports memorabilia, and unique items such as the chance to join MSU coaches on the sidelines during varsity contests. Fifteen of the last sixteen auctions have netted more than $100,000 for MSU Athletics, and the 2009 auction raised more than $110,000.

Dawn Callahan begins her 13th season in charge of the Missouri State field hockey program, the second-longest coaching tenure in Missouri State field hockey history. A native of British Columbia, Canada, Callahan began her collegiate coaching career at Missouri State in 1997 as an assistant to Kathy De Angelis. A year later, she took the reins of the program and debuted with a strong 10-6 record and a second-place finish in the NorPac. In 2000, Callahan was honored as the NorPac Coach of the Year as the Bears finished second in regular season NorPac play with a record of 5-1, and were 10-12 overall. Missouri State played a tough schedule that included 16 matches away from Plaster Field, with three opponents ranked consistently among the nation’s Top 20 (Kent State, Ohio State and Michigan), and two additional Big Ten opponents (Northwestern and Iowa). That tough schedule could not stop Callahan from leading the Bears to a second 10-win season in three years. In 2001, Callahan led the Bears to a NorPac Eastern Division title as Missouri State swept through the regular season with a 6-0 league mark. The Bears’ 11-8 record was its best since 1994, despite a schedule that featured six ranked opponents. A mid-season, six-game losing streak put the Bears in a rut heading into conference play, but it was a rut that they could hardly be blamed for. Four of the six losses came to teams ranked in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association Top 20, and the other two came in double overtime at Northwestern and in penalty strokes against Pacific. Plaster Field welcomed home a wobbly, 1-6 Bears team. But Callahan and the team were determined to regroup. MSU used the five-game homestand to start a streak of its own, but this one a winning one that went for eight-straight matches. Over that stretch, the Bears allowed just one goal, had seven shutouts and outscored their opponents 25-1. Two more wins in the final four games meant the Bears won 10 of its final 12 games and was positioned to win the NorPac Tournament. The Bears entered as the top seed from the Eastern Division. After a 3-0 over Saint Louis, MSU would have to face the 20th ranked team in the country, the Stanford Cardinal. A Stanford goal late in the first half made it 1-0 at intermission, but despite outshooting the Cardinal 3-0 in the second half, the Bears could not score a goal; at least one that counted. MSU scored what looked to be the tying goal late in the game, but a controversial call erased the play and kept the score 1-0 Stanford. And that is the way the Bears 2001 season would end. Even without an NCAA Tournament appearance, the season was a success, especially from an individual standpoint. Three players were honored with NorPac accolades, including now assistant coach Gabby Gomez Sosa. Gomez Sosa was named the conference’s Rookie of the Year, while seniors Kristie Lau was Defensive Player of the Year and Stephanie Dixon was Player of the Year. After another second-place conference finish in 2002 and a fourth-place showing in 2003, Callahan and company finished the Bears’ NorPac run with another 11-win season and a third-place finish. In seven years in the NorPac, Callahan posted four double-digit wins and 61 wins. Callahan ushered in a new era in 2005 when she played an integral role in transitioning the Bears into the competitive Mid-American Conference. The move brought the Bears closer to home and into a tough and respected conference. The new scenery brought new challenges and new faces in Ball State, Central Michigan, Kent State, Miami (Ohio) and Ohio University. Since taking over the team in the 1998 season, Callahan has coached several highly-decorated players, including the aforementioned Gomez Sosa. In addition to her NorPac Rookie of the Year award, Gomez Sosa was named

Missouri State Coaching Staff to the NFHCA All-West Region from 2002-2004 and to the NorPac All-Conference Team all four of her seasons played. As a senior, she became the first Bear ever to be named an NFHCA All-American, taking home third team distinction. Callahan also coached three-time national statistical leader goalkeeper Kim Kinsella from 2004 to 2008. Kinsella led the nation in saves per game and saves percentage. She was named to three all-MAC and academic all-MAC teams in four seasons. Next in the line of Missouri State greats to achieve under the tutelage of Callahan was 2009 graduate Melissa Lantz. With Callahan at the helm, Lantz blossomed from a promising freshman to the sixth all-time leading goal scorer in Bear history. After scoring only six goals in her first two seasons, three in each, she finished with 17- and 15-goal seasons to solidify her position among MSU field hockey royalty. Lantz was a two-time all-MAC performer, as well as an academic all-MAC honoree. In total, Callahan has coached three rookies of the year, two defensive players of the year and one player of the year in the NorPac conference. Plus, her players consistently are named to all-academic squads at the end of the season. The 2008 and 2009 teams were NFHCA Division I National Academic Squad recipients for achieving a team grade point average above 3.0. Callahan, who graduated from the University of Maine in 1997, was a four-year starter for the Black Bears’ field hockey team and also competed in ice hockey. As a junior and senior, Callahan was elected field hockey team captain by her teammates and paced the squad in defensive saves during each of her four seasons. She was selected to participate in the NCAA Division I All-Star Game as a senior in 1996 and was chosen to the American East All-Tournament Team that same year. Prior to her collegiate career, Callahan won three Canadian National Championships while playing for British Columbia’s under-14, under-16 and under-18 teams.

Gabby GOMEZ SOSA

–Assistant Coach –Second Season –Missouri State, 2005

Gabby Gomez Sosa returned to her alma mater in 2009 and now begins her second season as the field hockey assistant coach. Gomez Sosa is crucial to the offense’s development, spending most of her time orchestrating the Bears’ attacks and working with the forwards and midfielders. “Gabby has a great knowledge and understanding of the game,” Callahan said. “She has an eye for the little details that make a big difference in the game and in helping a player improve her skills.” When Gomez Sosa completed her MSU playing career in 2004, she was one of the most highly-decorated field hockey athletes in school history. Gomez Sosa was named to the NorPac All-Conference team all four seasons, and won the conference’s Rookie of the Year Award in 2001. From 2002-04, she was named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association AllWest Region team, and her senior season she became the first Bear honored on the NFHCA All-America Team (Third Team). Gomez Sosa, a two-time team captain, remains the only Missouri State player ever to receive the distinction from the NFHCA. Gomez Sosa played just as well in the postseason as she did in the regular season. She was named the NorPac Tournament Most Valuable Player in 2003 and made the AllTournament team in 2003 and 2004. Callahan and the Bears picked her to be the Missouri State Most Valuable Player during her senior season. When Gomez Sosa left the Bears, she left her name littered throughout the history books. Her 55 career points are sixth on the Bears all-time list, while her 15 assists place her eighth. As a senior, Gomez Sosa posted eight assists, the eighth-highest single-season total in Bear history. She also scored 20 goals in her four years playing under Dawn Callahan, earning 67 starts in 71 matches. In December 2005, she earned her bachelor’s in Spanish Education from Missouri State and has been active in the classroom ever since. She has taught at Ozark and Parkview High Schools locally before moving to Germantown, Pa., in 2006 where she was as a full-time Spanish teacher and assistant soccer coach at Delaware Valley Charter High School. She was born in Uruguay and is fluent in Spanish, French and English. Gomez Sosa resides in Springfield with her husband Tony Piazza, a former MSU baseball player, and their son, Julian.

Bears Field Hockey

2010 Guide

2009 Field Hockey Season Review For head coach Dawn Callahan and the Field Hockey Bears, 2009 was a season of close calls and near misses. The team’s final record of 4-16, 1-9 in the Mid-American Conference, did not tell the full story of a team on the cusp of a turnaround. The Bears played well against tough competition, but could not get over the hump in numerous close games. Of the 16 losses, 10 were decided by two goals or less, with the Bears holding second-half leads or tied in six of the defeats. Two losses were decided in overtime. One in double-overtime. It was that sort of season for the Bears. But there were several promising developments throughout the year. The 2009 season saw some outstanding individual achievements, progress from upperclassmen and potential from the newcomers; as well as impressive performances in the field hockey battle for Missouri and against the eventual MAC champion and NCAA Tournament participant.

O’Connor off a rebounded save tied the score at 1-1, but the offensive onslaught from the Cardinal was too much, as the Bears fell 3-1 despite 14 saves from Anderson. The final game of the road trip was a back-and-forth battle against UC Davis, with the score tied at one at halftime, thanks to O’Connor’s second goal in as many days, and at two at the end of regulation. An Aggie goal six minutes into overtime sent the Bears back to Springfield with a 3-2 defeat, and a 0-3 record.

Wins Wrap Up Non-Conference Home cooking did the Bears well. Labor day weekend games against Robert Morris and in-state rival Saint Louis produced two MSU wins by a combined score of 14-1. The first was a 7-1 trouncing of the Colonials. After a scoreless first 21 minutes of action, Alyssa Hile gave the Bears a lead on an unassisted goal, and they never looked back. The Bears scored five goals in the next 20 minutes of action, courtesy of Kristen Pettey, Opening Out West Kristi O’Connor, Melissa Lantz and two goals The Bears began the year with a West from Hile. After a Robert Morris goal made it Coast swing and a trio of stinging defeats. 5-1 with 14 minutes to play, the Bears added The Aug. 28 season-opener at Pacific provid- on with goals from Megan Shamleffer and ed a glimpse into what the rest of the season Sarah Cusick.

Anderson earned her first shutout of the season, saving all five Billiken shots on goal. The 7-1 win brought the Bears’ season record to 2-3, and bumped their lead in the all-time I-44 series to 52-27-2. For her efforts over the holiday weekend, Hile was named MAC Offensive Player of the Week. The Wildwood, Mo., finished the weekend sweep with a combined four goals, three assists and 11 points. She constantly kept the pressure on the defense by registering 12 shots, 11 of which were on goal. The strong showing made Hile the MAC’s early leader in points and goals. A third-straight home game against Louisville would prove much more of a challenge, but that was to be expected when the Cardinals brought their No. 16 national ranking to Springfield. Anderson saved 15 shots and held the Cardinals to only three goals, but the Bear offense could not Anderson, Hile and Pettey celebrate their upset of Ohio University. get started, managing only one shot on goal.

to Big East play with a 3-0 win. A mid-September trip up north to Evanston, Ill., and the Northwestern campus did the Bears no favors. Facing a nationally-ranked team, No. 18 Northwestern, for a secondstraight game, the Bears were overmatched. The Wildcats scored two goals in the game’s first five minutes and four in the first 30. MSU could never find its footing and fell 8-0. A day later the Bears faced St. Joseph’s for the first time in school history, and the match-up debut proved to be a classic. The two teams exchanged goals in the first half and went to intermission tied at three. Hile and Lantz scored early in the period, and Pettey scored late. It looked as though the Bears had taken control of this seesaw affair early in the second half when Pettey came back for more, scoring her second goal in the 41st minute to put MSU ahead 4-3. But the Bears could not hold the late lead, allowing St. Joseph’s to score with 11 minutes to play to force overtime. One OT was not enough as the teams went scoreless in the additional fifteen minutes, forcing double overtime. St. Joseph’s then put an end to the day with a rebound put-back for a goal and the 5-4 win. Opening Conference Play in Style The Bears opened their conference season against perennial power Kent State and took the Golden Flashes to the wire. After trailing 2-0 at the half, MSU made it interesting thanks to the work of senior Melissa Lantz. She scored three second-half goals, eventually cutting the Kent State lead to 4-3 with just over five minutes to play. Kent State cushioned its lead with two goals in the final three minutes, and the Bears fell 6-3. There was no answer for KSU’s Debbie Bell, who would battle with Lantz all season for the MAC scoring title, as she matched Lantz’s hat trick with one of her own. The team’s second MAC contest of the season two days later closed out September play and brought about the season’s best game. Eventual MAC regular-season and tournament champion Ohio University came to Plaster Field intent on improving their 158-1 all-time record against the Bears. MSU had not defeated the Bobcats since joining the MAC. That would all change this picture perfect, autumn day in late September. It did not look that way for the game’s first 60 minutes and 35 seconds. Until that point Ohio had dominated and established a 2-0 lead, but Melissa Lantz had yet to take over. At 60 minutes and 36 seconds, she did. Lantz fired a shot to the right post and past the Bobcat keeper to cut the lead in half. Less than four minutes later, she was at it again. Lantz received an O’Connor feed nine yards away from goal, took one step and flicked a shot that made its way through the Bobcat defense and into the back of the net. In a mere three minutes and 25 seconds, the Bears went from down to 2-0 and a 0-2 MAC record, to 2-2 and a chance at .500. That chance would have to come in overtime. After a tense 10 minutes that saw both

2009 Field Hockey Season Review Hile

Lantz squads squander multiple scoring chances, the Bears eased that tension. Melissa Lantz controlled a loose ball and took off down the left sideline. Hile filled the middle. When Lantz and her two goals on the day drew the defense’s attention, she fed a streaking Hile, who took the pass on the move and shot from 10 yards out. The ball scooted in the right side of the goal to put the Bears on the right side of the scoreboard, 3-2. Lantz finished the weekend with five goals and a game-winning assist against the top two teams in the MAC, but did not receive Offensive Player of the Week honors. However, she was able to help lift the Bears’ record to 3-7, and a square 1-1 in the MAC. A brief respite from conference play suited the Bears just fine. It was time for round two of the Missouri showdown; and this outcome was similar to the last. There were not as many offensive fireworks, but there would be no need for such a display with the defense playing this well. The Bears won 3-0, getting goals from Lantz, Pettey and Grace Baker, her first collegiate goal. Anderson earned an easy second career shutout by saving zero shots. Yes, the Bears defense limited the Saint Louis Billikens to zero shots on goal and only two shots total. The Bears improved to 4-7, and were headed back to conference play.

Back to the MAC It was definitely a season of close calls, and perhaps the most frustrating of them all came in Muncie, Ind., against MAC rival Ball State. Fresh off exceptional performances against Ohio and Saint Louis, the Bears looked to keep the beat going against the Cardinals. And they did, for 41 minutes. The Bears led 2-0 at halftime and 3-0 early in the second half after Alyssa Hile and Melissa Lantz once again sparked the offense. Hile opened the scoring with her eighth goal of the season, and Lantz scored two straight while also assisting on Hile’s goal. The lead would not stand. Ball State scored four unanswered goals, the last coming with less than eight minutes to play, to steal a win from Callahan’s squad. From Muncie to Miami, the Bears faced the Redhawks a day later in Oxford, Ohio MSU was outdone by an offense attack that did

not retreat. The Bears fell 9-0, dropping to 4-8, 1-3 in the MAC. A week later brought rematches against Kent State and Ohio University. Lantz’s two goals were not enough against KSU, as eventual MAC Player of the Year Rachel Miller scored the decider with just over five minutes to play, beating the Bears 3-2. Lantz may have finished second to KSU’s Debbie Bell for the MAC’s overall scoring title, but she outdueled Bell in their head-to-head match ups, five goals to four. The next day in Athens, the Bobcats were looking to atone for their early-season loss at Plaster Field, and were able to do just that, defeating the Bears 4-2. On a day when Missouri State was honoring the 30th anniversary of the 1979 AIAW Field Hockey National Championship team, the Bears could not replicate the success of their predecessors against Ball State. Megan Shamleffer gave MSU an early 1-0 lead with her second goal of the season, but that lead, and the Bears’ defense, could not withstand Devanny Kuhn. Entering the game with only one goal on the season, Kuhn scored four on four shots, giving the Cardinals a 4-1 lead midway through the second half. Melissa Lantz’s 14th goal cut was too little, too late as the Bears fell 4-2 despite dominating every offensive category. MSU outshot BSU 19-6, 12-4 in shots on goal, and earned 14 penalty corners to Ball State’s four. A day later came Senior Day and the Bears tried to send Molly Busch, Melissa Lantz and Alyssa Hile off in style against Miami. It was Hile who was providing her own stylish sendoff, as she gave the Bears an early lead with her 10th goal. The Redhawks struck seven minutes later, and the two squads went to the half in a 1-1 tie. It stayed that way until overtime. Early in the extra session, Miami dribbled toward the Bears’ end and lost possession, but MSU failed to clear the ball and Miami took advantage. Christine Brightwell stole the ball and fired a shot past Mackenzie Crawford, ending the game and the Bears’ season at Plaster Field. The final weekend of the regular season could not end the Bears’ slide. After falling at Central Michigan 4-1 on Halloween, the Bears’ played the Chippewas a day later in the regular-season finale. Alyssa Hile’s 11th goal of the season put MSU ahead 1-0 in the game’s 24th minute. The Chippewas did the rest of the scoring from there, netting three straight goals to cap a 3-1 win. Early Exit in MAC Tournament Looking for its first MAC Championship Tournament win since joining the conference in 2005, the No. 6 seeded Bears drew No. 3 Miami in a first-round game. A banged-up MSU team could not get much going against the Redhawks. After tying the score 1-1 with

a Stephanie Chases goal in the fifth minute, it was all Miami from there. The Redhawks rolled, 9-1. The Bears 2009 season came to a close with an overall record of 4-16, 1-9 in the MAC. No Lack of Individual Success Despite the team’s struggles, multiple Bears brought home postseason awards, most notably seniors Melissa Lantz and Alyssa Hile. Lantz was named to the First Team All-MAC while Hile took home Second Team honors. Hile set career highs in goals (11), assists (6), points (28) and shots (58), finishing second on the team to Lantz in each category. She also tied Lantz for the team lead with two game-winning goals. It truly was a banner year for Lantz, a 2008 Second Team All-MAC player. She finished with 15 goals, nine assists, 39 points and 79 shots and etched her name all over the Missouri State record books. She leaves tied for sixth in goals (38), fifth in assists (17) and second in points (93). Her nine assists in 2009 are the sixth-highest single-season total, while her 39 points are fourth. In 2009, she was also named to the Academic All-MAC Team, the NFHCA National Academic Squad and the Missouri State Athletics Director Honor Roll. Lantz was not alone in those academic honors. Steph Anderson, Katherine Aslin, Jenna Compton, Kelly Irwin, Kelsey Lomax, Ramie Masters, Chelsey Medlock, Lori Sinclair and Taylor Stellern were all named to both the NFHCA National Academic Squad and the Athletics Director Honor Roll, while Alyssa Hile and Megan Shamleffer were also on the Athletics Director Honor Roll. The Bears were given the NFHCA National Academic Team Award for achieving a team GPA above 3.0 for the 2009 fall semester.
