2013 Missouri State Season Outlook

Accepting the Challenge Bears looking to improve the offense, instill confidence in a young pitching staff and accept the challenge to exceed expectations in 2013.

M

issouri State softball coach Holly Hesse begins her 25th season at the helm and will inspire the 2013 Bears to accept the challenge to exceed expectations this year.

“We will accept the challenge to move from the middle of the league to the top this season,” declared Hesse. “After reflecting on last year, we expect bigger things in 2013.”

The Bears are led offensively by returning allconference second baseman Ashley Brentz who hit .304 with 24 runs scored last season. She became just the third MSU second baseman to earn first-team all-conference honors.

Four seniors will also look to make an impact in their final season in a Bears’ jersey. Kirstin Cutter hopes to return to her all-conference form from 2011 and completes a stout middle infield. Caitlin Chapin and Lauren Eisenreich give the Bears a pair of senior leaders in the outfield while Stevie Pierce brings staunch glovework at first base.

The Pitching Staff The Bears’ success in 2013 season will begin in the circle. Sophomore Chelsea Jones is the lone returning hurler for the Bears. She will be relied upon to lead the pitching staff that enters the post-Natalie Rose era. Jones gained valuable experience in her freshman campaign appearing

in 25 games and starting on 17 occasions. She tossed six complete games on the season and picked up seven victories.

Last February, Jones burst onto the scene with a pair of wins en route to all-tournament team honors at the Blues City Classic in Memphis, Tenn. She also led the MVC in fewest walks allowed and will be counted upon to continue to throw strikes.

Jones also provides a middle-of-the-order bat with some pop. She blasted a pair of home runs last season, including a game-tying dinger in the MVC Tournament game against Drake.

Freshman Jessie Van Es will transition to the collegiate level and immediately be looked to for solid innings. Van Es faced some high-powered competition as she wrapped up her prep career by pitching her team to the state championship game in her home state of Arkansas.

Junior transfer Rachel Brisker is another new arm to the Bears’ rotation. She comes over from Muscatine Community College in Iowa after leading the nation in strikeouts per game last year.

“I expect Chelsea to be the leader in the circle,” continued Hesse. “She threw some quality innings last season and I think she is ready to take over the starting role on the mound.”

Behind the Plate Junior Stacia Boeckstiegel took the reins at the catching position in her first season at MSU. Her leadership and experience will help stabilize the pitching staff in 2013. A vocal backstop, Boeckstiegel will also be looked upon to mentor freshman Braxton Coil behind the plate.

Coil brings a solid pedigree to the Bears after she earned Conference Player of the Year honors her senior season at Edmond North High. She gives the Bears another solid bat after posting a school-record 62 RBI in her senior year at ENHS. “Boeckstiegel has a year of Division I experience under her belt,” stated Hesse. “She should be the leader back there, but Braxton has looked very good fundamentally. It will be nice to have two quality catchers so that both of them can stay fresh all year.”

The Infield Missouri State returns all four starters from last season’s infield. With a pair of seniors and a returning all-conference second baseman, the infield is arguably the Bears’ strength.

Seniors Pierce and Cutter will see the lion’s share of playing time at first and shortstop, respectively. Brentz will anchor second base after a stellar sophomore campaign a season ago.

Heather Duckworth returns as the starter at the

Stevie Pierce

hot corner for MSU. Cutter has led the Bears in stolen bases each of the last two seasons. Her speed makes her the ideal candidate for leading off, a role she filled in 36 games last season. She has played in more than 50 games in each of her first three seasons and will look to cap her career with a stand-out campaign.

Pierce anchors first base and is nearly automatic with the glove, among the career leaders in fielding percentage at MSU. In addition to her glove, Pierce has power at the plate with eight career home runs and is a patient hitter racking up 29 walks last season.

Brentz led the Bears in nearly every offensive category in 2012 and hopes to improve in her junior season. Her .304 average was tops on the team and she put together a team-best 11 multihit games. Brentz tied Pierce for the team-lead with 29 bases on balls, the fourth-highest single season total in program history.

Duckworth is fearless, manning the hot corner in her third season at MSU. Last season, she thrashed 13 extra-base hits including the Bears’ lone triple. Her 11 doubles were among the league leaders and she banged out a pair of three-RBI games in early April.

The Bears are stocked on the infield with many backups able to step right in to the lineup.

Junior Ciara Flau is a speedy option that can play second base. Sophomores Amber Dreher and Erin Duewel can fill nearly every infield position.

Newcomers Mary Stephens and Bethany Sullinger are solid at the corners and will look to make an impact in their first season.

“We have a lot of returning upperclassmen,” said Associate Head Coach Sue Frederick. “We feel like we really have two sets of infielders with

Lauren Eisenreich

good backups at every position.”

The Outfield The Bears outfield is led by seniors Chapin and Eisenreich. Eisenreich, who has held down left field in each of her first three seasons, will look to transition to center field this year. She had a break-out game at Creighton last year, crushing two home runs in a 3-for-4 day that included a walk, three runs scored and five RBI. Chapin’s conversion to the outfield is complete as she will patrol right field for the Bears. Her power stroke returned in 2012 as she led MSU with four long-balls. As a senior, she will look to move into the record books as she sits just a few home runs from the top-5 all-time list.

Junior Kerri Cunningham is a speedy and athletic player who is smooth with the leather. Her talent will be used in center field.

Sophomore Rebecca McPherson can play either corner outfield position and swings a good stick at the plate.

Ali Trickey is another fast fielder who will challenge for playing time in right. Freshman Suzanne Allen will provide depth in the outfield.

“Eisenreich will be our cornerstone,” stated Associate Head Coach Beth Perine. “We have a bunch of talented players and they are all capable of playing all of the fields.”

The Schedule The Bears will be tested early and often with four early season road tournaments, including three of the first five games against NCAA Tournament teams from 2012. All told, MSU will play 11 games in 2013 against tournament teams from a year ago. Missouri State will face

off against teams from the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Conference USA and SEC, among others.

“We have set up a challenging schedule,” manifested Hesse, “hence our ‘accepting the challenge’ theme. We are going to have to step it up and we intend to do that.”

The Valley Race The Bears were picked to finish sixth in the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference coaches’ preseason poll. Defending tournament champion Illinois State and Southern Illinois are favored with defending regular season champs, UNI, slotted third. Creighton and Drake were also selected ahead of the Bears.

The Bears’ middle infield picked up preseason honors with Brentz and Cutter selected to the preseason All-MVC squad.

“I feel that the Valley is up for grabs this year,” reflected Hesse. “When you look at returning all-conference players, there aren’t many of them. Especially in pitching, a lot of good pitchers from last year graduated. I think there is an opportunity for teams in the middle to rise to the top and teams at the bottom to go to the middle. I think it will be an interesting year in the Valley.”

Last season, Missouri State added to its alltime wins total in MVC Tournament play with win number 68 in the opening round against Bradley. The Bears are determined to add to that total in Omaha in early May.

Hesse joined the 600-victory club with the Bears’ season-opening 7-2 win over Sam Houston State at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Classic in Denton, Texas, on February 17, 2012.

Hesse is the winningest coach in Missouri State history with a 624-609-2 record.

Her tenure includes two regular-season MVC titles, five MVC tournament crowns and five NCAA Tournament appearances. Hesse recorded her 300th win in 2000, her 400th win in 2004 and win number 500 in 2007. Missouri State leads all schools with 68 wins in the MVC Tournament and Hesse is tied for the most MVC Tournament wins with 46.

Second baseman Ashley Brentz returns after she earned All-MVC first team honors in 2012 under Hesse’s direction and the tutelege of long-time associate head coaches Sue Frederick and Beth Perine.

In 2011, Hesse’s Bears overcame an up-and-down regular season to play their best softball when it mattered most. Her Bears, led by Tournament MVP Natalie Rose, won four-straight games to earn the sixth Tournament title in team history. Rose hurled four complete games over three days including shutouts of Bradley and UNI on the opening day. Her team then went 1-2 in the Norman Region of the NCAA Tournament, knocking off Iona in an elimination game.

At the 2010 Valley Tournament, the Bears once again turned to their ace in the circle to surprise the field with wins over two of the league’s top four teams, as sophomore righty Natalie Rose pitched six straight complete games to lead MSU to three wins in all before regular-season champ Southern Illinois ended the Bears’ quest for a sixth NCAA bid with a 4-3 decision in the semifinal round.

At the 2008 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.

Missouri State’s 40-17 record in 2006 included a second-place MVC regular season finish at 18-4, marking the 12th season during Hesse’s guidance the Bears have finished in the top five of the conference standings. At the MVC Tournament in Omaha, Neb., Missouri State knocked off the regular-season champs, Illinois State, in the semifinals 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 26 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 1998, Missouri State became the first 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.

The 1997 season saw the Bears finish 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 Missouri State win over Southern Illinois in the 1997 MVC winners’ bracket final was Hesse’s 228th career victory, making her the school’s winningest softball coach.

In 1996, Hesse led Missouri State to its first MVC title and its first 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.

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 field, Hesse has been active in promoting both the sport of softball and women’s sports in general. Nationally, 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. Hesse is also on the Board of Directors for the newly-formed Alliance of Coaches, whose overarching goal is to improve the landscape for women coaches.

Locally, she is the former president of the Springfield chapter of the Women’s Intersport Network (WIN) having served in that role from 2009-2012.

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 first 20game 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.

In her role as associate head coach, Frederick serves as third base coach, works with the Bear infielders, offense and oversees MSU’s strength and conditioning, team travel, practice organization, budgeting and clinic development.

Frederick came to Missouri State straight from a successful playing career at Creighton. Since joining the Missouri State staff, Frederick has seen the Bears compile a 598-549-2 record and win six conference championships during her time in Springfield. She helped lead the Bears to three straight Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championships from 1996 to 1998 and helped guide them to five NCAA Tournament appearances.

Frederick earned the status of One-Star Master Coach in 2001 after completing courses through the National Fastpitch Coaches College.

A native of Ankeny, Iowa, Frederick played for the Virginia Roadsters in the inaugural Women’s Professional Fastpitch season in the summer of 1997.

Frederick, who graduated cum laude from Creighton in 1989, was a four-year standout and career .302 hitter on the Jays’ softball team and set school career records for hits (209) and stolen bases (47). As a sophomore, she set CU singleseason marks with 69 hits and 41 runs scored and then tied her hit record with 69 in her senior campaign.

Over a three-year stretch, Frederick had 31 straight successful stolen base attempts, a feat which puts her 23rd on the all-time Division I list and her .423 batting mark as a sophomore in 1987 ranked 10th in the nation that year and second in CU history.

A two-time all-region first teamer, Frederick helped the Jays to High Country Conference titles in 1986 and 1987, with a College World Series berth in 1986.

2012 Missouri State Season Review

2012 Season Riddled with Milestones for the Bears

Hesse’s 600th Win, Rose’s 500th and 600th Career Strikeouts Among 2012 Highlights

T

he 2012 season was marked with a number of milestones. Despite a mediocre 25-26 season, the Missouri State softball squad had many delights on the year.

Head coach Holly Hesse joined the 600 club, picking up her milestone win in the Bears’ season-opening victory over Sam Houston State.

Additionally, coach Hesse continued to add to her league leading MVC Tournament wins list with her 46th victory in the opening round against Bradley.

The Bears had a pair of valuable seniors contribute to the success of the 2012 team. Hurler Natalie Rose pitched her way into the top-5 of nearly every career pitching category. In addition, she picked up her 500th and 600th career punchouts on the year.

Fellow senior Raeven Replogle was among the league-leaders in sacrifice hits on the year with 16.

She drove in eight runs and scored 10 others while starting every game in centerfield.

Sophomore second baseman Ashley Brentz had a break out season that began with a 4-for-4 outing in the season opener. She didn’t cool off as she led the team in nearly every offensive category en route to a first-team All-MVC selection.

EARLY SUCCESS IN ROAD TOURNAMENTS The Bears got off on the right track in game one.

Brentz led the Bears offense with a season-best

four hits, driving in a run and scoring twice in a 7-2 victory. But the story of the season-opening win was the milestone reached by coach Hesse, her 600th win at the helm of the Bears.

A setback to the host North Texas, and a day rained out, didn’t spoil the MSU success in the Fairfield Inn & Suites Classic. The Bears defeated South Dakota State on the final day to cap a 2-1 trip to Texas.

The next weekend saw the Bears head to the Blues City Classic in Memphis. MSU opened the tournament with a loss to eventual MVC regular season champion UNI, but reeled off four straight wins to close out the tournament. On day two, Rose out-dueled the reigning MAC Pitcher of the Year as the Bears took a 2-1 decision over Miami (OH). Freshman Chelsea Jones picked up her first career win in the circle with a night cap win over SEMO. The Bears left Memphis with a pair of shutout wins over Western Illinois and host Memphis to move the season mark to 6-2.

The calendar turned to March and the Bears set out to Kansas City for the annual Missouri Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament. On day one, the Bears notched their fifth consecutive victory, downing Saint Louis, 3-1. Host UMKC was not kind to MSU in a shutout loss on a chilly second night. On the final day, the Bears scored a walk-off win with a three-run seventh inning to knock off SEMO for the second time on the year. In the finale, the Bears

faced No. 13 Missouri. MSU stranded the tying runs on base in a narrow 3-1 loss to the Tigers.

NON-CONFERENCE TESTS ABOUND Missouri State returned home on March 10 to open the home slate against Big 12 opponent Iowa State. The teams split a doubleheader despite a pair of Bears’ home runs on the day. A trip to Central Arkansas did not get the Bears on a roll entering conference play. MSU mustered just two hits in the loss to UCA. The remainder of the non-conference slate was interspersed among the conference games. MSU found itselves at former conference foe, Eastern Illinois, for a pair of games. The Bears split a doubleheader with the Panthers. Kansas travelled to Killian Stadium at the end of March and again MSU was able to split a twinbill with a non-conference

opponent.

In early April, Missouri State returned to Kansas City for a pair of games against UMKC. As became customary, the Bears split a doubleheader with the Kangaroos.

The remaining tough non-conference teams would have to come to Killian to face the Bears. On April 11, Tulsa visited in a rematch from the 2011 NCAA Tournament. The Golden Hurricane would need a two-out triple in the eighth to prevail in a 2-1 game.

On May 2, a pair of Arkansas Razorbacks hurlers no-hit the Bears.

BEARS BATTLE THROUGH VALLEY SLATE The Bears faced a tall task in opening the 2012 MVC slate. The defending tournament champs would have to face the preseason favorite Illinois State Redbirds. After dropping both games of the conference-opening doubleheader, MSU salvaged a game by gritting out a 4-2 win in the finale. Rose settled in after a two-run first inning, striking out seven in the Bears’ first conference win of the year.

The second weekend of MVC play saw MSU pay a visit to Evansville. The Bears took a six-game winning streak against the Purple Aces to the Hoosier State. Caitlin Chapin blasted a two-run home run as part of a big day as the Bears swept the doubleheader from the Aces. In the finale, UE rallied for a 3-1 win to snap the MSU win streak at eight.

MSU again found itself on the Valley road as the calendar swung from March into April. The Bears trekked to Drake and took the series opener with runs in three consecutive innings to overcome a 2-0 deficit. But a pair of 4-2 setbacks saw the Bulldogs take the series.

Bradley came to town for an Easter weekend showdown. After dropping the first game, MSU rallied for a split after Heather Duckworth, Stevie Pierce and Brentz each picked up a pair of hits.

The rubber game went by way of the Braves in shutout fashion.

The Bears remained home to play host to Southern Illinois the next weekend. After dropping the opener, MSU rallied in game two for a split. Kirstin Cutter had a 2-for-3 game and Brentz recorded the game-winning RBI in a walk-off win for the Bears.

The Sunday game was washed away by rain marking the fourth consecutive season that the MSU-SIU series was cut short.

Then came the midweek split with rival Wichita

32

State. The Shockers visited Killian Stadium and the teams split a doubleheader. MSU prevailed in game one despite just a RBI single by Brentz, 1-0.

Missouri State headed to league-leader UNI on April 21-22. The Bears put the Panthers to the test all weekend. In game one, Rose pitched the Bears into the ninth inning of a scoreless game.

After Stacia Boeckstiegel put MSU ahead with a solo home run, UNI rallied with a five-spot in the bottom half of the inning for the win. In game two, the Bears had the tying run thrown out at the plate to end the game in the seventh. The Bears didn’t quit after dropping the first two games. On Sunday, Rose out-dueled eventual MVC Pitcher of the Year Jamie Fisher by tossing a one-hitter as MSU salvaged a game with a 1-0, eight-inning victory.

The Bears finished the three-game set with the Shockers by travelling to Wichita on April 25. The Shockers scored twice in the bottom of the first and made it hold up in a 2-0 WSU win.

The very next weekend featured the Natalie RoseLindsey Biesser showdown as Indiana State came to Springfield. On Saturday, Rose pitched a pair of 1-0 wins. ISU rallied on Sunday behind Beisser to salvage a game with a 3-2 win.

MSU headed to Omaha to face Creighton to wrap up the regular season, looking for momentum heading into the Valley tournament. In game one, Rose struck out 10 Bluejays and recorded her eighth shutout of the season as the Bears got their sixth 1-0 win of the season. In game two, the Bears’ offense exploded led by Lauren Eisenreich. She blasted two home runs and drove in five runs as Missouri State went on to win 13-11. Eisenreich’s day also included three runs scored and a walk to begin the rally in the decisive seventh inning.

2013 Softball Guide

TOURNAMENT TIME Missouri State entered the MVC Tournament in Carbondale, Ill., as the six-seed having beaten every other Valley team at least once during the regular season. MSU would face Bradley in the opening round for the second straight year.

The Bears again sent ace Natalie Rose to the circle to face the Braves looking to avenge her only decision of the year against the Braves. Rose cruised through the top of the first allowing just a two-out hit.

MSU pounced on Bradley hurler Madeline LynchCrumrine in its half of the first. Back-to-back one-out singles by Brentz and Pierce set the table for the rally. Duckworth followed and reached on an error, driving in the first two runs of the inning. Then with two outs, Eisenreich singled up the middle to cap off the three-run first.

The Bears added another run in the second inning as Jones led off with a single. Pinch runner Ali Trickey came around to score later in the inning on a Bradley fielding error to push the lead to 4-0.

That would be more than enough run support as Rose cruised to victory allowing just an insignificant run in the seventh. MSU recorded its league-best 68th win in MVC Tournament play.

Later in the day, Missouri State would face Drake.

Again it would be Rose heading to the circle for the Bears. DU would take the early lead off of a solo home run by Torey Craddock in the bottom of the first.

The lead was short-lived as Jones hit her second home run of the season off of Drake pitching to knot the game at 1-1.

But the Bulldogs responded in their half of the second inning. DU hurler Jordan Gronewold helped her own cause with a solo home run.

Neither team would score the rest of the way

2012 Missouri State Season Review as both teams were held to just four hits apiece.

MSU’s season would come to an end and Rose would be named the Bears’ representative on the all-tournament team.

POSTSEASON AWARDS After leading the Bears in nearly offensive category, Ashley Brentz was awarded an AllMVC first team selection. She hit .304 with 24 runs scored and 14 RBI. She also drew 29 bases on balls, tied for the team lead with Stevie Pierce, a number that ranks fourth in the single-season annals of program history.

The honor was Brentz’s first all-conference award. She picked up a team-leading 11 multi-hit games on the season and earned all-tournament honors at the Fairfield Inn & Suites and Blues City Classics.

Senior hurler Natalie Rose earned her second all-conference award as a second team selection.

She finished the season with a 1.84 ERA along

with eight shutouts and 25 complete games. She picked up career strikeouts No. 500 and 600 on the year.

ROSE LEAVES HER LEGACY Right-hander Natalie Rose finished her career as a Bear with her name draped across the record book among the top-5 of nearly every pitching category.

With her 43 appearances on the 2012 season, Rose took the top slot on the all-time list with a school record 155 career appearances in an MSU jersey.

She was a valient strike-thrower throughout her career, but especially in 2012 when she allowed just over a walk per seven innings (1.06) ranking 11th in the nation for the season. Rose also fired across 207 strikeouts in 2012, surpassing the 500 and 600 strikeout plateau along the way to 664 career punchouts, third all-time.

Rose’s longevity and work-horse like composure in the circle also propelled her to a top-5 career ranking in complete games (64), games started (91),

innings pitched (721.2), shutouts (15), saves (12), walks allowed (121), wins (52) and losses (53).

Following her Missouri State career, Rose signed with the Kiel Seahawks in Germany and went on to complete all 10 of her starts while racking up a league-leading 131 strikeouts in 71.2 innings pitched.

HESSE SURPASSES 600 Missouri State head coach Holly Hesse completed her 24th season at the helm of the Bears program in 2012. She surpassed the 600-win milestone with a season-opening victory over Sam Houston State to become just the fourth Valley coach to reach the 600-win plateau. Hesse’s career record stands at 624-609-2 through the 2012 season.

Hesse also added to her career total by winning her 46th MVC Tournament game, tied for the most in Valley history. By virtue of the Illinois State Championship victory, ISU’s Melinda Fisher tied Hesse at 46 career MVC Tournament victories.

All-American Barb Gaines Infielder Barb Gaines (right) became the first Missouri State softball All-America pick as a senior in 1993. She was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America Third Team after authoring one of the most outstanding careers in the program’s history.

A native of St. Louis, Gaines enjoyed a brilliant senior season, ranking among the national top-10 in batting average for most of the season and finishing with a then-school record .442 mark. Gaines ranked first in the Missouri Valley Conference in hits (68) and second in stolen bases (22).

The first player in Gateway/MVC history to win all-league honors four straight years, Gaines closed her career with five Missouri State single-season records and eight career marks. She still holds the career records for hits (252), total chances (1,287), and batting average (.403), is second in stolen bases (58), and at bats (626), third in putouts (1,013) and fourth in runs (113).

Gaines received the Missouri State Outstanding Female Athlete award in 1992 and 1993 and was inducted into the Missouri State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000.

2013 Postseason Information Tournament Field: The field for the 2013 NCAA Softball Tournament will consist of 64 teams and will be announced on May 12. For the eighth consecutive year, softball will use the same format as Division I baseball, sending four teams each to 16 regionals with the winners advancing to Super Regionals. The Super Regional winners will move on to the Women’s College World Series, held May 30-June 5, in Oklahoma City.

In all, 31 conferences will receive automatic bids and 33 teams will receive at-large bids.

Automatic Bids: The Missouri Valley is one of the 31 leagues whose champions will receive automatic berths in the NCAA Tournament.

winners will advance to the Super Regionals played Thursday through Sunday, May 23-26, again hosted by one of the two institutions involved at each site.

The eight Super Regional winners will advance to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.

2013 Women’s College World Series: The 32nd annual NCAA Division I softball finals will be played Thursday, May 30, through Wednesday, June 5, at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla., with the University of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma City All Sports Association serving as hosts. The WCWS will consist of two four-team brackets with a doubleelimination format. The winner of each four-team bracket will advance to the championship, which will be played as a best-of-three series.

Missouri State in the NCAA: The Bears have competed in six NCAA Division I Tournaments, in 1983, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006 and 2011. In 1983, Missouri State went 1-2 in dropping a best-of-three series at Missouri. In 1996, the Bears were 0-2 in regional play at Fullerton, Calif., and again went 0-2 at the 1997 Norman, Okla., regional. In the 1998 NCAA Regional in Stillwater, Okla., Missouri State pulled off the biggest upset of the 32-team tournament as the Bears, seeded fourth in the regional, stunned ninthranked Stanford, the regional’s top seed, 5-2 in the first round. It was a milestone win for Missouri State, which the previous two years had gone two-and-out in NCAA Regional play. It marked the Bears’ first NCAA win under Hesse and the first by the program since 1983. Missouri State was the only #4 seed to defeat a #1 seed in the opening round of the tournament that season.

This Is The Valley

rom early beginnings to its current standing on the map of college athletics, the Missouri Valley Conference continues to be proactive. As The Valley enters its 106th season of athletic competition in 2012-13, the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics and is one of the nation’s most progressive conferences.

In what has become a wild, unpredictable age in collegiate athletics, the Missouri Valley Conference has remained strong and stable. Notably, 19 of the nation’s 31 Division I conferences have new membership for this season, and all but five of those conferences have undergone a transformation in membership since 2000. Notably, the Missouri Valley Conference’s current 10-member composition has remained the same since 1996 – and only two leagues (Ivy, Patriot) can match that continuity. League members have worked together to focus on common goals and objectives, putting a high value on league harmony while continuing to invest in athletic programs to compete at the highest level.

The Valley brand remains very strong, both regionally and nationally, and the great athletic tradition of The Valley remains a compelling force in recruiting student-athletes and in marketing all the MVC programs.

Men’s basketball continues to be the engine that drives Valley athletic programs. With UNI’s NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in 2010, the league has had four different Sweet 16 teams since 2006, and The Valley is the only non-BCS league with more than two different Sweet 16 teams in that span. The State Farm MVC Tournament continues to be a spectacular showcase for the league, and the MVC has extended the tournament agreement with the Scottrade Center that will keep Arch Madness in St. Louis through at least 2015. During the 2011 State Farm MVC Championship, the league surpassed 1 million in total attendance for the event, now in its 23nd year.

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 profile of the conference.

Meanwhile, the success of The Valley television package is one of the great stories in the league. The MVC Television Network has blossomed into a revenue-generating vehicle and The Valley’s most visible marketing tool. Also, The Valley is making video-streaming a major focus as it enters the third year of a three-year plan to upgrade the production and marketing of both institutionally-produced and conference-produced webcasts.

In 2010, The Valley took a major step toward ensuring current revenues in television media and tournament sponsorship sales would be guaranteed in future years when it announced a 10-year partnership with Learfield Sports.

The Jefferson City, Missouri-based company now has the exclusive sales and marketing rights to MVC assets that include championships and television advertising.

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. Since 1998, the MVC served as host for a staggering nine NCAA tournament events in the 13-year period, which has made St. Louis one of the most frequent stops on the NCAA Tournament trail. The Valley hosted Women’s Final Fours in 2001 and 2009 and the Men’s Final Four in 2005. The league will host an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event in Kansas City in 2013 and has already assisted Creighton with preliminary round men’s events in both 2008 and 2012.

The seeds for the creation of the conference were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five 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 first 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 & field (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.

While The Valley no longer sponsors football (it did from 1907-85), six league members compete in football at the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) level as Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, UNI and Southern Illinois play in the 10-member Missouri Valley Football Conference (with North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Western Illinois and Youngstown State). That league competed as the Gateway Conference from 1985-2007.

Drake plays non-scholarship football in the Pioneer Football League.

This season, the league will conduct its 102nd outdoor track and field championship, its 95th tennis championship, its 59th baseball tournament, and its 75th golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (54 years), indoor track (46), men’s soccer (22) and swimming and diving (19), have helped solidify The Valley as one of the nation’s most respected conferences.

Athletic accomplishments include four NCAA national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qualifiers. The league owns a total of 30 post-season national team championships, including Wichita State’s men’s basketball NIT title in 2011. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis.

Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) in women’s basketball. MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance, and Creighton (2003), Drake (1999) and Illinois State (2009) have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament.

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.

While the inclusion of women’s sports under a comprehensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league’s storied history, over the years, Valley studentathletes and coaches have become household names during the league’s illustrious history, both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professional careers.

In fact, The Valley began honoring that 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 70 former players, coaches and alums dot the league’s Hall of Fame.

League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville are affiliate members in men’s soccer.

Head Coach H

ead coach Holly Hesse enters her 25th season leading the Bears’ program as the winningest coach in Missouri State history with a 624-609-2 record. Her tenure includes two regular-season MVC titles, five MVC tournament crowns and five NCAA Tournament appearances.

Hesse recorded her 300th win in 2000, her 400th win in 2004, her 500th in 2007 and joined the 600-victory club with the Bears’ 7-2 triumph over Sam Houston State on February 17, 2012.

Missouri State’s 40-17 record in 2006 included a second-place MVC regular season finish at 18-4, marking the 12th season during Hesse’s guidance the Bears have finished in the top five of the conference standings. The Bears’ march to the MVC Tournament 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 26 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.

Off the field, 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, and currently serves as president of the Springfield chapter of the Women’s Intersport Network (WIN).

A 1982 graduate of Creighton University, Hesse came to Missouri State after two years as an assistant coach at her alma mater. Hesse was a standout pitcher at Creighton, where she was the school’s first 20-game winner, helping 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.

Academics The University offers more than 150 undergraduate programs and nearly 50 graduate programs, as well as select certificate and doctorate degrees. Many of these programs are the state’s strongest and largest of their kind.

Participate in Public Affairs

Missouri State is proud of its mission in public affairs. The components of the public affairs mission are ethical leadership, cultural competence and community engagement.

Through this mission, students develop understanding of issues that affect the local community, the world at large and the environment. The courses they take challenge them to become informed and active citizens. On top of that, opportunities for volunteering and service-learning put students in real-world situations.

Missouri State holds a Public Affairs Week and Public Affairs Conference each year to further express the components of the mission. Speakers address topics such as citizenship, democracy, diversity, the economy and sustainability.

In addition to becoming just the third consensus first-team All-American in Missouri State football history, David Arkin (above) snagged the first CoSIDA Academic All-America honor for a Bear in 11 years. The Wichita, Kan., native picked up second-team Academic All-America recognition in 2010, before being selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round (110th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft.

Student-Athlete Code of Conduct Student-athletes at Missouri State University (“University”) are representatives of their teams, the Department of Athletics and the University. It is a privilege, not a right, to be a member of an intercollegiate athletics program. It has many benefits, but student-athletes receive a higher level of interest from the public and the media. That attention means student-athletes have a responsibility to be positive and effective members of their program, the University and the Department of Athletics.

As a member of an athletics program, student-athletes are expected to demonstrate the pillars of good character by displaying integrity, honesty, respect for others and good sportsmanship in all academic, athletic and social activities. Additionally, student-athletes are to abide by all University policies, Athletic Department, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and conference rules and regulations, as well as city, county, state and federal laws and standards of behavior.

The Student-Athlete Code of Conduct is an Athletic Department policy that applies to all student-athletes including those that are not actively competing in their sport. The standards and expectations set forth apply at all times: in season, out of season, on or off campus, and on and off the playing field. Sanctions will be applied for violation of this Code.

Student-athletes have an obligation to report Code of Conduct violations to their Head Coaches or the Faculty Athletics Representative as soon as possible.

Student-athletes who do not conform to this Code may be subject to greater consequences for misconduct that is not reported or that involves multiple or repeat violations.

The Head Coach or Faculty Athletics Representative who learns of a Code of Conduct violation shall report same to the Athletic Director within 24 hours.

A written copy of the Student-Athlete Code of Conduct will be provided to student-athletes annually. It will also be included in the Student-Athlete Handbook and will be available online at the missouristatebears.com website.

KYLE Director of Athletics Fourth Year at Missouri State

M

issouri 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 developing 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 multi-year television contract with KY3, Inc. Year two for Moats in Springfield saw Missouri State finish second in the 2010-11 MVC All-Sports Trophy standings--its best finish in five years.

Conference titles by men’s basketball, women’s swimming and softball, as well as postseason tournament berths for both MSU basketball programs highighted the Bears’ year.

In 2011-12, Moats’ third year at the helm, Missouri State enjoyed its finest campaign in nearly a decade, capturing the Missouri Valley Conference AllSports Trophy for just the fourth time. The Bears won Valley titles in women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor track and field, women’s basketball and women’s golf this year along with a co-championship in men’s soccer.

Additionally, four MSU teams advanced to postseason play, including NCAA Tournament appearances in volleyball, women’s golf and baseball programs.

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 he 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).

A native of Dixon, Ill., Moats is a 1988 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a bachelor’s degree in physical education.

Moats was a three-year letterwinner in golf and a student assistant basketball coach for the Cougars from 1985-88. 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.
