2010 Missouri State Season Outlook

Sneak Attack Bears Blend of Experienced Veterans, Talented Newcomers Look to Take Valley Foes by Surprise in 2010

Behind the Plate

The Infield

With the loss of four-year starter Jen Carr to graduation, the Bears will have a much different look at catcher in 2010. The top two candidates to !ill that role are underclassmen, but that fact does little to dampen Hesse’s outlook on the position. “We’re going to miss Jen Carr’s leadership back there, but we’re really excited about the group we have this year,” Hesse said. “While we will lose some leadership and experience, we have some talent back there and we expect them to contribute in big ways.” Freshman Madison Hargrove is one such candidate. The Missouri State staff raved about the Shawnee, Kan., product’s athleticism and arm strength, as well as her offensive abilities. Sophomore Taylor Farley is also expected to see time behind the dish after showing signs of potential, primarily in a pinch-hitting role last year. Hesse also likes Farley’s arm and predicts Valley baserunners will be on stand-by, regardless of which of the two is behind the plate. Also returning for the Bears is sophomore Delayna Gary. She batted .250 last year primarily

Missouri State will have to replace half of its regular starting in!ield in 2010, including one of the program’s all-time greats in shortstop Jessie Smith. All Smith did last year was bat .388, slug a school-record .657 and eclipse or tie four MSU career oﬀensive records en route to earning NFCA All-Region honors. While Smith’s numbers and presence in the middle of the Bears’ lineup will be hard to replace, Hesse does have some tools with which to work. Chief among those is two-year starter Jenna Schwark, who brings back the most starting experience among all returning position players on the club. After posting a .304 batting average as a sophomore in 2009, Schwark will be a focal point for opposing pitchers this year. The junior has the versatility to play either second or third base, where Weiss is also expected to compete for playing time. Committing just two errors in 66 chances last year, Weiss is unquestionably one of the top defensive players on the club. Junior Ashley Knehans will move into a fulltime role at !irst base after splitting time with

a r s

Lauren McGinley

S o f t a l l

McGinley and Supak formed the core of the Bears’ pitching staﬀ in 2009, combining for 15 of MSU’s 19 victories and eight shutouts. Both turned in dominant stretches, as well as periods where the outs were hard to come by. Supak posted a teamlow 2.23 earned run average that ranked as the 10th-best mark in the MVC. The Colorado Springs native blanked Wichita State twice and recorded an impressive 1.95 ERA at Killian Softball Stadium, as well as a streak of 17.1 scoreless innings at home. Supak, whose 5-7 record was skewed by

as a pinch-hitter, and her bat will once again prove valuable, as will her versatility to play several different positions.

The Pitching Staff

four one-run setbacks, was impressive in some of the Bears’ tougher match-ups of the season, including close losses to Oklahoma State, Iowa State and nationally-ranked Missouri. McGinley also produced some highlights for the Bears as a junior, turning in a team-best 10 victories. Only one of those came after April 4, however. Hesse believes that McGinley, the mostexperienced member of the squad, is poised for a breakout senior season after the ups and downs of her !irst year as a full-time starting pitcher. “Lauren McGinley has come a long way since her freshman year,” Hesse said. “She’s gotten better and better with each season, and we look for her to have her best year yet as a senior.” The third member of the Bears’ pitching staff, sophomore Natalie Rose, was downright dominant at times in her rookie campaign. Rose began her career with a !lourish, posting a pair of complete-game victories in her !irst three starts, striking out 10 batters in each. She would !inish the year with a team-high 65 punchouts, despite working only 64.2 innings, the lowest total among MSU’s three pitchers. However, Rose suffered from a mid-season swoon, watching her ERA climb a full point from mid-to-late March. The Oklahoma native did !inish the year on a high note, turning in 10 2/3 innings without giving up an earned run in her last seven outings before surrendering the winning run to Bradley at the MVC Tournament. Like Supak, Rose should be even better with a year of Division I experience under her belt. “Rose and Supak now have a year of experience and that should make a big difference for us,” Hesse stated. “They both had some really strong outings last year, but not quite the consistency we needed. Hopefully that will be there this year.”

or members of the Missouri State softball team, it’s always been more about where you !inish rather than where you begin. So, when the Missouri Valley Conference released the results of its preseason poll in late January, few of 22nd-year head coach Holly Hesse’s charges were fazed by the prediction of a seventh-place !inish for the Bears in 2010. Nevertheless, the opinion of the Valley coaches, coupled with a 19-25 !inish to the 2009 campaign that included !ive straight losses to close the season, should have Missouri State eager to get the new season underway. “We’re a diﬀerent club than we were a year ago,” said Hesse. “With a third of our team being new, we’ve put last year behind us and are focusing on what’s in front of us.” Hesse and the Bears believe they have the right mix of seasoned veterans and gifted prospects to take the Valley by surprise and make the preseason prognostications merely an amusing footnote to the 2010 season. But, for a club that lost !ive regular starters to graduation that will be a tall order given the level of competition that is characteristic of the MVC. “Until we prove we can beat the top teams in the league on a consistent basis, we shouldn’t really expect to be picked higher,” Hesse said. “But I do think we’ll be able to surprise some people.” To do so, they will need to rely on the leadership of a senior class limited in numbers, but not in experience. The Bears lone returning threeyear letterwinner, Lauren McGinley, has seen regular playing time in each of her !irst three seasons as a Bear. Last year, McGinley made the move to the front of the MSU starting pitching rotation and performed admirably. Fellow senior right-hander Lauren Supak, also turned in a solid season in the circle for the Bears in her !irst year in the program, and the duo should once again provide strong leadership from the circle. In!ielder Bubba Weiss forms the third prong of the Bears’ senior corps, and she will be called upon to make even bigger contributions at the plate after impressing Hesse and her staﬀ on the defensive side as a junior. “All in all, as a group it’s a very good class in terms of work ethic, attitude and being the kind of role models we expect out of our seniors,” Hesse added.

departed senior Jana Shewmaker as a freshman and sophomore. Knehans, the Bears’ active leader in homers (6) and RBIs (31), was MSU’s top offensive player during the fall. She enters the year as the club’s top power threat and Hesse expects her to help !ill the void in the middle portion of the lineup left by Smith’s graduation. Another third-year veteran, Christa Gammon, will look to improve on a solid sophomore campaign. The Fairview Heights, Ill., native was slowed by injuries and batted just .228, but her speed on the basepaths and overall athleticism kept defenders on their toes. She should see regular time at second base once again after making 44 combined starts there over her !irst two seasons. Three newcomers are also expected to see ample playing time on the in!ield in 2010. Freshmen Kirstin Cutter and Caitlin Chapin will step into the hole at shortstop left by Smith’s departure. Cutter possesses the range and arm strength to make the kind of plays that have become trademark for a Bears’ defense that consistently ranks among the Valley’s-if not the nation’s-leaders. Chapin comes to MSU as one of southwest Missouri’s most-decorated prep softball standouts. The Ozark, Mo., product !inished her high school career among the state of Missouri’s all-time leaders in a number of oﬀensive categories. One of those was home runs, and Hesse says her power should warrant a spot in the Bears’ lineup, whether at an in!ield spot or as MSU’s designated player. The third key newcomer on the Missouri State in!ield is Texan Stevie Pierce. An out!ielder by trade, Pierce will also back-up Knehans at !irst, in large part due to her overall athletic ability and a propensity to drive the ball long distances. All in all, Missouri State’s defense has been one of its strenghts in recent years and Hesse looks

2010 Missouri State Season Outlook for the trend to continue. The Bears have posted the top !ive single-season !ielding percentages in school history over the last !ive years, including a .981 season mark in 2008 that ranked as the sixth-best team percentage in NCAA Division I history.

The Outfield Perhaps the area hit hardest by graduation, as well as injuries last year was the Bears’ out!ield. Four of Missouri State’s six out!ielders missed time due to injuries in 2009, and three seniors completed their eligibilities last spring. Despite those unsettling !igures, Hesse is con!ident her youthful group in the out!ield has more than enough talent to step in and do the job. About the only sure thing with regard to the MSU out!ield is that there will be no sure things in 2010. Hesse expects to use a rotation consisting of as many as four diﬀerent players who will be seeing their !irst Division I action this spring and returners Tyler Porter and Raeven Replogle. Porter was one of the regulars hampered by injury last year, but did make 22 starts after starting 41 contests in her freshman season of 2008. Replogle’s !irst taste of collegiate softball brought some positive results, including a huge game to help the Bears best Kansas in which she went 2-for-4 with three runs scored and her only home run of the season. She was sidelined for the entire fall season with an injury, however. Junior transfer Alaina Burkhart should see a fair share of playing time after batting .417 in the fall. Burkhart gives Hesse an additional lefty bat and more speed in the out!ield and on the basepaths.Fellow newcomer Lauren Eisenreich will also battle for time after leading her Blue Springs (Mo.) High squad to a perfect 32-0 record and Missouri Class 4 title as a senior. A defensive specialist, Eisenreich is also a gifted contact hitter who should provide a steady presence in the MSU out!ield. In addition to serving as a back-up at !irst base, Pierce will get a chance to make her mark in the out!ield. Despite batting just .214 in the fall, she slugged .500, thanks to a prodigious home run that the MSU coaching staﬀ was still marveling at the sight of three months later. Redshirt freshman Kayla Beckett is also in the Bears’ out!ield mix, hoping to regain her form after missing the 2009 season with a knee injury.

ranked ninth in the country. “We have 54 games scheduled, and I don’t see an easy one in the bunch,” Hesse said. Hosted by Drake University, the State Farm MVC Softball Championship will unveil a new modi!ied double-elimination format and run from May 13-15, at Buel Field in Des Moines, Iowa. The Bears have not won a tournament game since claiming the championship in 2006, but still possess more wins at the conference meet than any other Valley club.

The Valley Once again this season, the MVC race !igures to run through Omaha, as three-time defending regular-season champ Creighton was the overwhelming pick of the league’s coaches to take the title again. The Bluejays will bring back 12 letterwinners from last year’s team that went 35-16. Leading the way will be the reining Valley Player of the Year, Renae Sinkler, as well as three-time MVC Pitcher of the Year, Tara Oltman. Several other clubs, including No. 2 preseason pick Southern Illinois, return a number of key performers and could give the Bluejays a run for their money. UNI, which was tabbed third in this year’s coaches poll, was the surprise team in the league last year, winning 34 games in all and !inishing third in the MVC after being picked last in the preseason poll. That’s a model Hesse would like her team to emulate. “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, it’s always tough,” Hesse added. “Anybody can beat anybody in this league and that’s what’s exciting about being in the Valley.”

The Valley

he Mi Missouri ou Valley Val y Conference nf en enters en rs its 1 103rd rd year ea at the t start sta of o the 2009-10 th 20 -1 ac academic ademic yea year, aand nd the he nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics. The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions. Based in St. Louis since 1985, the league is assertive in its approach to hosting NCAA basketball championship events, operating a revenue-producing in-house television network, bidding out the right to host sport championships and landing title sponsorships for those events. Last season, Bradley made its !irst-ever NCAA softball appearance to represent the league and defeated national No. 15 seed DePaul in the opening game. In a season of !irsts, the Braves earned their spot in the NCAA Tournament after becoming the !irst team in league history to win the conference tournament as the host institution, edging regular-season champ Creighton. In one of the closest results in league history, Wichita State earned the 200809 All-Sports crown, edging second-place Illinois State by 0.06 points. The Shockers won a league-best four titles (women’s cross country, volleyball, men’s golf and women’s tennis), while placing in the top four in 12 of 15 sports in which they sponsor. League members include Bradley University, Creighton University, Drake University, the University of Evansville, Illinois State University, Indiana State University, Missouri State University, the University of Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois University, and Wichita State University. Eastern Illinois University is an af!iliate member in men’s soccer.

2010 Missouri State Coaching Staff

Head Coach Creighton, 1982 22nd Season at Missouri State

Head coach Holly Hesse enters her 22nd season leading the Bears’ program as 52nd among all active Division I softball coaches and !ifth in Missouri Valley Conference history with 548 victories. Hesse joined the 500-victory club with the Bears’ 1-0 triumph over Indiana State on April 22, 2007. Hesse is the winningest coach in Missouri State history with a 548526-2 record. Her tenure includes two regular-season MVC titles, four MVC tournament crowns and four NCAA Tournament appearances. Hesse recorded her 300th win in 2000 and her 400th win in 2004. An up-and-down 2008 campaign saw Hesse’s Bears !inish 28-22 overall, but Missouri State played its best softball when it mattered most. At the State Farm MVC Tournament, the Bears rode the right arm of senior All-MVC performer Melissa Porche to wins over Evansville, Southern Illinois and Illinois State, moving MSU to within one game of an NCAA Tournament berth. However, Drake played the role of spoiler, rallying from a two-run de!icit to claim a 7-2 victory and its !irst conference title since 1994. Missouri State’s 40-17 record in 2006 included a second-place MVC regular season !inish at 18-4, marking the 12th season during Hesse’s guidance the Bears have !inished in the top !ive of the conference standings. At the MVC Tournament in Omaha, Neb., Missouri State knocked oﬀ the regular-season champs, Illinois State, in the semi!inals and defeated Wichita State for the title. The Bears’ march to the championship included three wins by the score of 4-0, and marked the fourth MSU conference tournament title under Hesse’s guidance. Missouri State advanced to the Los Angeles Regional, as the Bears made their fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament under Hesse. The 2006 team’s 40 wins surpassed the school’s previous top win total of 38 set by Hesse’s 1994 squad. The 2006 season marked the sixth 30-win season under Hesse, who has guided the Bears to an average of nearly 27 wins per season since her arrival in 1989. Hesse’s most successful stretch at Missouri State came from 1994-98, when her teams averaged 32 wins per season, won an MVC regular-season championship and three tournament championships. The Bears advanced to the NCAA Tournament in three consecutive seasons from 1996-98. In 1996, Hesse led Missouri State to its !irst MVC title and its !irst NCAA berth since 1983 as the Bears rang up a 34-22 record, won four straight games to collect the conference crown in Normal, Ill., before competing in the NCAA Regional at Fullerton, Calif. The 1997 season saw the Bears !inish 35-26 and become just the second team in Gateway/MVC history to win back-to-back tourney titles. Missouri State claimed the league crown in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and represented the Valley in the NCAA Regional at Norman, Okla. The thrilling, come-from-behind Mis-

souri State win over Southern Illinois in the 1997 MVC winners’ bracket !inal was Hesse’s 228th career victory, making her the school’s winningest softball coach. In 1998, Missouri State became the !irst team in league history to three-peat, winning its third straight Valley crown and again punching a ticket to the NCAA Tournament. The Bears played in the NCAA Regional at Stillwater, Okla., and ended the season with a 31-22 record. Hesse won Gateway Conference Coach of the Year honors in 1992, after guiding Missouri State to a 14-4 mark and the regular-season title. In 1994, she led MSU to the Missouri Valley crown with a 13-3 record and was again voted coach of the year. The 1994 Missouri State club set a school record with 38 wins, won the MVC regular-season title by three games and took second in the league tournament, which MSU hosted. Oﬀ the !ield, Hesse has been active in promoting both the sport of softball and women’s sports in general. She is one of the founding faculty members of the NCAA Women Coaches Academy, which was created to enhance the skills and perspectives of women coaches, and to aid in the retention of women coaches in intercollegiate athletics. She also currently serves as president of the Spring!ield chapter of the Women’s Intersport Network (WIN). In 2003, Hesse authored a coaching book, which is available on CD, entitled “The Diamond of Success: A Philosophical Model for Coaching”. A 1982 graduate of Creighton University, Hesse came to Missouri State after two years as an assistant coach at her alma mater. Creighton compiled a record of 72-31, won a High Country Conference title and was ranked in the top 20 in Hesse’s two seasons there. Before her two years in Omaha, Hesse served as an assistant coach for two seasons each at Iowa State University and the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where she earned her master’s degree in sport management in 1984. Hesse also coached for two seasons at Waukon (Iowa) High, her prep alma mater. Hesse was a standout pitcher at Creighton, where she became the school’s !irst 20-game winner and helped the Jays to three consecutive College World Series appearances. A native of Waukon, Iowa, Hesse won an incredible 161 games as a pitcher for Waukon High. She was inducted into the Iowa Girls High School Pitchers’ Hall of Fame in 1979.

2010 Missouri State Athletics Staff

Director of Athletics First Year at Missouri

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 on July 1, 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. “I am very pleased to have Kyle Moats as our new director of athletics,” said Missouri State President Michael T. Nietzel. “Kyle impressed all of us with his broad knowledge, wide range of experience, and vision for the future. He certainly has the studentathlete at the top of his priority list, and he understands how athletics should !it into the culture of a university. Following Bill Rowe, Kyle has big shoes to !ill and he knows it. But I am con!ident Kyle will do an outstanding job for many years to come. All of us are excited to get started.” 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.

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 the fund has grown substantially throughout the 26 years of its existence. The 2008-09 drive netted over $2.98 million, marking the 21st 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 bene"its within the athletic program, including game program recognition, online athletics newsletter, and parking and postseason ticket considerations. Bears Fund gifts may be earmarked for speci"ic 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 Bene"iting Athletics. Held in late August for each of the past 21 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. Fourteen of the last 15 auctions have netted more than $100,000 for MSU athletics, and the 2006 auction set a record by raising more than $150,000.

2009 Missouri State Season Review

Work in Progress

With Killian Stadium Construction Complete, Bears Start Building Next Championship Contender

ven the most stable college programs, those built on the same type of !irm foundations put in place by Missouri State head coach Holly Hesse over her 21-year run as leader of the Bears, need a little reconstruction from time to time. For Missouri State, the 2009 season looked to have all the markings of that kind of year. After losing two of the program’s all-time greats in Melissa Porche and Michelle Armentrout to graduation, the Bears looked to their veterans for leadership. A talented and experienced cast of seniors who started their careers by helping the Bears to their last Missouri Valley Conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance, went out with a seemingly unremarkable 19-25 campaign. Yet, for Hesse and the rest of the Bears, the 41st year of varsity softball at MSU produced more than its share of memorable moments, all the while building for even greater things.

New Beginnings The Bears’ six-member senior class was charged with the task of mentoring and preparing a youthful team to take the next step toward the ultimate goal of competing for another Valley championship. Eight underclassmen saw regular action, and two of the three members of MSU’s pitching staﬀ were newcomers in 2009. That blend of youth and inexperience reared its head early in the season, as the Bears struggled to !ind their rhythm, dropping four of their !irst six games. MSU’s lone returning pitcher, junior Lauren McGinley, got the ball rolling on the new season with a 1-0 blanking of Boston College (Feb. 6), but a pair of one-run losses sent the Bears home from the Centenary Tournament with a 2-3 mark. Three Bears earned all-tournament honors after helping MSU go 3-2 at the North Texas Sleep Inn Classic. Senior shortstop Jessie Smith went 9-for-17 (.529) with four runs scored, three steals, three doubles and three RBIs in !ive games and extended her hitting streak to 11 games. Fellow senior Ashley Arbon also enjoyed a breakthrough tournament, going 6-for-10 at the plate with three steals, while sophomore Jenna Schwark batted .571 (8-for-14) with four runs scored and !ive more driven in for the Bears.

2010 Softball Media Guide

One newcomer who did not experience any freshman jitters at the onset of the season was Natalie Rose. The right-hander posted a complete-game, two-hit shutout of Bryant on Feb 7, then notched a 3-1 win over Wichita State two weeks later at the Sleep Inn Classic. Rose struck out 10 batters in each outing and retired the !irst nine Shockers in order to lift MSU to its third straight win. McGinley was the star of the Bears’ stay at the weather-shortened Frost Classic in Chattanooga, Tenn. The righty was named the Missouri Valley Conference’s Co-Pitcher of the Week after working 9 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up both Missouri State victories at the tournament. McGinley earned a win in relief in MSU’s !irst game of the day on Feb. 27, a come-from-behind 7-6 win over Valparaiso. With the go-ahead run on third base, she recorded the !inal two outs of the seventh inning before Smith won it for the Bears with a lead-oﬀ homer in the bottom half of the inning. In MSU’s 4-0, nine-inning win over Tennessee Tech later in the day, McGinley turned in her second shutout of the season, as well as her second extra-innings, complete-game eﬀort of 2009. She limited the Golden Eagles to just four singles-only one of which came after the fourth inning-in a career-best nine innings of work.

Home Sweet Home The 2009 season also marked a new beginning for Missouri State in terms of facilities, with the debut of the Bears’ brand-new, 1,200-seat home

park, Killian Softball Stadium. As part of the home-opening All-Missouri Classic, MSU’s March 7 dedication ceremony included over 40 former players and coaches from the !irst four decades of Missouri State softball. The Bears dropped their !irst game at their new park, a 4-1 decision to SEMO on March 6, but bounced back to knock oﬀ UMKC by a 3-1 score the following day to commemorate the facility’s dedication. Nationally-ranked Missouri put a damper on the festivities the following day with a 5-0 decision over the Bears that was highlighted by freshman pitcher Chelsea Thomas’s second no-hitter in as many days at The Classic. The Tigers, who would go on to earn a berth in the College World Series at the close of the season, would take the tourney title by outscoring their four opponents by a combined 26-3 margin. However, sophomore !irst-baseman Ashley Knehans capped an eventful weekend in style, blasting a two-out grand slam in the top of the seventh inning to best Saint Louis in the tourney !inale. MSU had to overcome a 4-2 de!icit to defeat the Billikens, as senior catcher Jen Carr set the stage for Knehans by drawing the Bears even with a two-out, two-run homer in the !ifth inning. The victory over SLU would be the last for Missouri State on its opening home stand, as three straight losses to UNI to open the conference season, followed by one-run losses to Oklahoma State (March 17) and Iowa State (March 19) closed out the Bears’ nine-game home set on a sour note.

Despite representing the Bears’ !ifth straight setback, Missouri State’s 6-5 loss to Iowa State on March 19, did oﬀer a fair bit of intrigue. Although the schedule called for just a single game, the Bears and Cyclones nearly completed a double dip, taking 13 innings to decide the outcome. The two teams engaged in just the !ifth contest on record at MSU to go 13 innings or more. The game took three hours and nine minutes to complete, making it the third-longest game in the 41-year history of the program. The marathon aﬀair represented just the third contest involving a Valley team to extend 13 or more innings since the 2001 season. Senior !irst baseman Jana Shewmaker turned

2010 Missouri State Season Review in a record-setting day in the !ield against ISU, registering an all-time MSU single-game high of 22 putouts. That !igure bested Ashley Meredith’s MSU individual record of 21 putouts, set May 8, 2004, against Bradley in a 12-inning game. It also represented the third-highest total by a Valley player since the 2001 season. As a team, Missouri State’s 39 putouts against the Cyclones quali!ied as the fourth-highest single-game total in school history.

That’s a Wrap The 2009 season saw the Bears post impressive defensive numbers once again, as MSU !inished among the top 50 teams nationally in !ielding percentage for the fourth consecutive year. The Bears were the 43rd-best !ielding team overall, posting a .968 team !ielding percentage, their fourth-highest season mark in 27 years as a Division I program.

Creighton on April 25, Smith went down on strikes in the !irst inning of the second game of the Bears and ‘Jays’ doubleheader, ending her streak of consecutive games without a strikeout at 16, a span of 52 at-bats dating back to March 21. The Blue Springs, Mo., native led The Valley and ranked 17th nationally, fanning just six times in her 134 at-bats. In all, she went down on strikes just two times in 56 MVC at-bats in 2009. Additionally, Christa Gammon and Ashley Knehans both totaled three sacri!ice !lies to tie for second in the conference. In the circle, Lauren Supak’s 2.23 earned run average was the 10thbest mark in the MVC, while Lauren McGinley’s !ive shutouts were fourth in the circuit.

Senior shortstop Jessie Smith racked up an impressive haul of postseason honors, including Louisville Slugger/NFCA First-Team All-Midwest Region recognition. Smith was the !irst Bear to be honored by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association with an all-region selection since 2006 and the !irst MSU player to earn !irst-team honors since 2003. Smith, who was also named to her second AllMissouri Valley Conference squad, turned in one of the top all-around seasons in the history of the MSU program. The Blue Springs, Mo., native led the Bears with a .388 batting average, while posting team highs in nearly every oﬀensive category to take her place among some of the greatest players to ever don the Missouri State uniform. Smith’s .657 slugging percentage in 2009 was a new single-season record at MSU, while her season marks for batting average, home runs (7) and total bases (88) all rank among the top !ive !igures in school history. She also rated among the MVC’s top 10 individual leaders in batting average, stolen bases (13), hits (52), doubles (11), triples (2), runs scored (27) and on-base percentage (.444). After starting 200 consecutive games during her Missouri State career, Smith eclipsed or tied four MSU career records in 2009. She set the marks for home runs (27), slugging percentage (.556) and total bases (328), and tied Kate Madden’s career record for runs scored (123) by a Bear.

A second loss to Oklahoma State (April 23), this time in Stillwater, started a disappointing twoweek stretch that would culminate in the Bears’ opening-round ouster from the MVC Championship. Missouri State would win just one of its !inal eight games, with the lone bright spot coming on Senior Day at Killian Softball Stadium with a 1-0 win over MVC regular-season champ Creighton.

Home Stretch

Jessie Smith, First Team

The Bears’ road successes failed to solve their run of tough-luck losses at home, however. MSU returned to Killian Softball Stadium on April 8 and promptly dropped a doubleheader to UMKC, losing both games by a single run to extend their home losing streak to seven games. Paired with their earlier one-run losses to Oklahoma State and Iowa State, the Bears lost four straight one-run decisions at Killian. Two more losses at nationally-ranked Southern Illinois (and one more one-run setback) sent MSU to its !ifth consecutive loss overall. But the drought at Killian would come to an end with another Supak whitewashing of Wichita State (April 15). The MSU junior held the Shockers scoreless over a complete game for the second time in three weeks. The Bears picked up their second-straight home win with a 1-0 win over Evansville (April 18), then bested Arkansas (April 22) on the road in extra innings to run their win streak to three games.

2009 MSU Honors

Despite the rash of close losses at home, the Bears were unfazed by a schedule that saw them play their next eight games on the road, including seven in conference play. Beginning with a three-game sweep of Indiana State in Terre Haute (March 21-22), MSU reeled oﬀ six wins on the road stretch. McGinley highlighted the weekend with a pair of shutouts, blanking ISU, 4-0, on just three hits while striking out four Sycamores. The following afternoon she took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before settling for a two-hitter in a 2-0 Bears’ triumph. Next up, Missouri State turned in its best offensive performance of the season at Big 12 foe Kansas (March 24), pounding out 14 hits in a 13-8 victory over the Jayhawks. MSU took advantage of a pair of early KU errors to score three runs, then broke the game open with an eight-run !ifth inning to notch its fourth-straight win. After falling to Wichita State in game one of their doubleheader on March 26, the Bears righted the ship with another outstanding pitching performance. It was Lauren Supak’s turn to shine, as the right-hander held the Shockers to six hits in a 5-0, complete-game victory. MSU closed out the road swing with a rainshortened series at Illinois State, earning a split of the two games with the Redbirds.

The Bears would, however, drop two of three to the Bluejays before suﬀering a three-game sweep at suddenly red-hot Bradley on the !inal weekend of the regular season. After wrapping up a !ifth straight MVC Tournament berth with a seventh-place regular-season !inish, the Bears headed back to Peoria for the 26th edition of the Valley Championship. It would be a short stay, however, as the host Braves would keep their momentum going and close the books on MSU’s 2009 season, claiming a 3-2 heartbreaker in eight innings on day one en route to winning 10 straight games and their !irst Valley title.

On the Board Several Bears ranked among the Missouri Valley Conference leaders during the regular season. Jessie Smith’s .388 batting average was the third-highest in the league, while her .657 slugging percentage ranked second and her 13 stolen bases were third in the MVC. Smith also ranked as one of the toughest players to strike out in all of Division I softball. Against

2010 Softball Media Guide

he Missouri Valley Conference enters its 103rd year at the start of the 2009-10 academic year, and the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics. The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions. The Valley made history in March 2007 with record attendance for four days at St. Louis’ Scottrade Center as 85,074 fans turned out to watch the !ive sessions of the tournament. The two sellout crowds of 22,612 for the semi!inals and !inal of the 2007 State Farm Tournament set an all-time attendance record for basketball at the arena and also gave The Valley the distinction of having the largest championship crowd for any of the 30 NCAA conference tournaments in 2007. While the success of men’s basketball has received the greatest attention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually every sport continues to raise the national pro!ile of the conference. Last season, Bradley made its !irst-ever NCAA softball appearance to represent the league and defeated national No. 15 seed DePaul in the opening game. In a season of !irsts, the Braves earned their spot in the NCAA Tournament after becoming the !irst team in league history to win the conference tournament as the host institution, edging regularseason champ Creighton. In one of the closest results in league history, Wichita State earned the 2008-09 All-Sports crown, edging second-place Illinois State by 0.06 points. The Shockers won a league-best four titles (women’s cross country, volleyball, men’s golf and women’s tennis), while placing in the top four in 12 of 15 sports in which they sponsor. Based in St. Louis since 1985, the league is assertive in its approach to hosting NCAA basketball championship events, operating a revenue-producing in-house television network, bidding out the right to host sport championships and landing title sponsorships for those events. During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. This continuing involvement of the MVC in hosting NCAA events represents one of the most concentrated stretches of host opportunities for any university or conference in the 70-plus year history of the national championship tournament. In 2010, the Missouri Valley will host an NCAA men’s basketball regional, while The Valley has hosted three Final Fours this decade (women’s events in 2001 and 2009, and the Men’s Final Four in 2005). The league had previously hosted men’s regionals in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2007; and a men’s !irst/ second round event in 2002. Additionally, Creighton and The Valley co-hosted a men’s basketball !irst and second round in 2008 in Omaha. And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progressive in pursuing NCAA events, it has continued to be a national leader in the athletic arena. And starting in 1995-96, the conference broke new ground by allowing league members to bid for hosting rights for select team sport championships. By establishing uniform host criteria, the conference is able to assist a host institution in a season-long promotional campaign and provide an avenue where hosts can acquire sponsors and achieve a pro!it for the event.

Meanwhile, the league has been progressive in other areas, as it has taken its merchandise program in-house, while oﬀering e-commerce solutions for league apparel, championship photography and a conference-wide videostreaming package. The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administrators representing !ive institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The !ive schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted. In the fall of 1907, basketball became the !irst competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & !ield (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. This season, the league will conduct its 99th outdoor track and !ield championship, its 92nd tennis championship, its 56th baseball tournament, and its 72nd golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (51 years), indoor track (43), soccer (19) and swimming and diving (16), have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Conference as one of the most respected conferences nationally. Indeed, the inclusion of women’s programs under The Valley banner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference -- which began in 1982 -- merged with the Missouri Valley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conference on July 1, 1992. The Valley began honoring its storied tradition in the summer of 1997, when the conference began its athletics Hall of Fame. Hersey Hawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State, Wes Unseld of Louisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State, Dave Stallworth of Wichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis, and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati were members of the initial induction class. Currently, nearly 40 former players, coaches and alums dot the league’s Hall of Fame. From its early beginning to its current standing on the map of college athletics, The Valley will always continue to be proactive in its approach. League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is an af!iliate member in men’s soccer, while Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville begin af!iliate men’s soccer membership in 2010.
