Aspiring to Improve upon 2015 Success

Three returning all-conference players pilot a 2016 squad that was on the cusp last season.

A

fter a successful 2015 season, the 2016 team will look to repeat and add improvement to a second-place finish. Returning three all-conference firstteam players gives the Bears added credibility as MSU strives for the first regular season and tournament championship in the same season in the history of the program.

Head coach Holly Hesse enters her 28th season at the helm of the Bears and has guided MSU to more than 700 wins over her celebrated tenure.

Injuries and off-field distractions only motivated the 2015 team to exceed expectations.

Allie Alvstad unexpectedly missed all of the 2014-15 academic and athletic year after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Her inspirational fight and victory over the disease fueled the spirit of the Bears.

Bethany Sullinger, the single season school record tying RBI machine in 2014, also missed all of the 2015 season with an injury.

Alvstad, Sullinger and others who missed time with injuries enter the 2016 campaign on the mend.

Junior pitcher Erin Struemph will shoulder a majority of the pitching duties after fellow all-conference first teamer Chelsea Jones graduated. Struemph has pitched more innings in each of her first two seasons than any other MSU pitcher over that span.

Senior Erin Duewel put up some impressive

offensive feats in 2015, setting the school record for slugging percentage in a season.

She clubbed 11 home runs, nine of which were hit during MVC play.

Sophomore Erika Velasquez Zimmer was awarded MVC Newcomer of the Year honors after one of the best freshman seasons in program history. She led the team with a .361 batting average, the highest by a freshman in school history. She also led the team with 19 multi-hit games and 19 stolen bases.

The 2016 team looks to fill the shoes of graduated seniors Jones and Rebecca McPherson, who both have their names implanted in the MSU record books. But MSU has plenty of options to fill their roles.

STRONG ARMS IN THE CIRCLE All three pitchers on the MSU staff return from last season’s squad. The cornerstone of the stable is Struemph, who earned preseason AllMVC honors for the second-straight season.

She has fired over 330 innings through her first two seasons in the circle averaging just shy of a strikeout per inning. Struemph knows how to handle the stress of pressure situations having earned MVC All-Tournament team nods each of the last two years. She will be relied upon primarily in a starting role, however, she proved with her league-best six saves a year ago, that she can close games as well.

Senior Jessie Van Es enters her final season

looking to close out her career on a strong note.

She has battled the injury bug throughout her career and, when healthy, can be an asset both as a starter and in relief.

Sophomore Kaitlin Beason tossed some valuable innings in her first season at MSU. That experience will be vital as she takes the circle in year two.

“Struemph has proven that she can be highly successful in the Missouri Valley Conference,” said Hesse. “If Jessie can stay healthy, she will have a great senior year. Beason got some good innings as a freshman and that will pay off for her this season.”

CATCHING DEPTH Missouri State enters 2016 with extensive and talented depth in its catching corp. Senior Braxton Coil brings back the most experience and has been behind the plate in both of Struemph’s seasons. Coil has improved at the plate and is hoping to make her senior campaign a memorable one.

Sophomore Molly Fields has one season of Division I play under her belt. She had a memorable first hit as a Bear, a walk-off single in extra innings against Iowa. She will be looked upon to continue to improve both offensively and defensively in 2016.

Freshman Darian Frost brings a high-level skill set to the team. She has the strongest arm behind the plate. She also has a potent bat that

could prove valuable.

“Braxton has the most experience and works well with Struemph,” continued Hesse. “Molly and Darian will see innings back there as well. It is going to be a battle back there for playing time.”

AROUND THE HORN Infield depth is plentiful, experienced and jampacked with talent. Three powerful bats could man first base throughout the season. Junior Mary Stephens returns after recording a pair of five-hits games last season, the first Bear to accomplish the feat in program history. She also spent time in the leadoff spot and racked up 32 walks, the third-highest single season total.

Sullinger returns to the lineup after her recordtying season in 2014. She can play either corner infield position and is one of many middle-ofthe-order options.

Beason will also see time at first when not in the circle or as the designated player.

Madison Jones and junior Olivia Roark are both reliable lefties at second base. Jones has had two shortened seasons due to injury and Roark did a great job filling in as a starter in Jones’ absence last season.

Duewel has taken the reins at shortstop and earned all-conference honors to prove it in 2015.

She put up some big power numbers and will look to replicate those in 2016.

Junior Elena Gambill can play either position on the left side of the infield. She will spell Duewel at shortstop on occasion and battle for the starting slot at third base.

A trio of talented freshmen provide depth on the infield. Kyana Mason played third base in the fall and has the speed to be an asset from the

left side of the plate and off the bench. Morgan Greenlee is a utility player that can fill in at shortstop, behind the plate and off the bench.

Freshman Kara Powelson provides depth in a number of areas and her effort doesn’t go unnoticed.

“There is a lot of quality depth on this team,” declared Hesse.

ROAMING THE OUTFIELD Reigning MVC Newcomer of the Year Velasquez Zimmer headlines the outfield troops. Her recordsetting freshman season set the tone for what is likely to be a standout career for the Texas native.

“Erika is a special player, who can handle competition, playing a big role like centerfield and being a leadoff hitter,” stated Hesse.

Local product Hailee Vigneaux enters year two at MSU and will likely land a starting role.

She is a speedy lefty who contributed a number of timely hits last season.

Freshman Hannah Heinrichs will have to adapt quickly to the Division I level. She comes from a successful prep program at Broken Arrow and the Bears hope she can continue those winning ways.

Alvstad returns as an emotional, inspiring display of perseverance after beating leukemia.

She is still working to get back her stamina and strength, but could be a reliable pinch hitter during the process.

Roark can also play in the outfield and could see time in the lineup out there. Sophomore Sara Jones adds depth in the outfield. Her speed and energy are assets for the Bears.

NON-CONFERENCE SLATE Right out of the gate, MSU will face a Texas Southern squad that participated in the 2015 NCAA Tournament. It marks the first of eight such matchups. The Bears’ home opener on March 8 is also versus an NCAA Tournament paricipant in Central Arkansas.

MSU plays four-consecutive road tournaments to begin the season. Additionally, between the home opener and the beginning of conference play, the Bears will play at Arkansas, Oklahoma State, and in a tournament, at Kansas.

“I like that we have that tough competition right prior to conference play,” continued Hesse.

“All of those teams will certainly help us raise our level of play which we will need to do by the start of the conference season.”

THE MVC RACE The Bears received more first-place votes than any other Valley squad, but finished second in a top-heavy Missouri Valley Conference preseason coaches poll.

MSU received four first-place votes and finished with 76 points in the poll, pegged behind league preseason favorite Wichita State (three first-place votes, 84 points). The Bears finished ahead of UNI (74 points), Drake (72) and Illinois State (70) as the top five teams were separated by a total of just 14 points. Indiana State (55), Southern Illinois (55), Bradley (32), Loyola (21) and Evansville (11) rounded out the poll.

“It is nice to be recognized as one of the top teams in the Valley,” stated Hesse. “It will be a highly competitive conference season with so many good teams in the league. We look forward to the challenge.”

Holly Hesse HC

Head Coach | 28th Season | Creighton, 1982 | Record at MSU: 704-691-2

H

ead coach Holly Hesse enters her 28th season leading the Bears’ program as the second-winningest coach in Missouri Valley Conference history with 704 victories. Hesse joined the 700-victory club with a 4-0 win at Illinois State on April 18, 2015, completing a doubleheader sweep in Normal, Ill. Hesse is the winningest coach in Missouri State history with a 704-691-2 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 victory number 600 in 2012. Missouri State leads all schools with 70 wins in the MVC Tournament and Hesse is tied for the most MVC Tournament wins with 48.

The 2015 Missouri State team catapulted into the upper echelon of the Valley by finishing second in the regular season and reaching the MVC Tournament title game.

Behind Hesse’s tutelage, the Bears set team records for home runs (48), bases on balls drawn (181), double plays turned (22), sacrifice flies (14) and saves (10). Senior Rebecca McPherson clubbed a program-high 12 home runs, while junior Erin Duewel set the all-time single season slugging percentage mark at .667 for Hesse’s squad that won 17 MVC games, one shy of the school record.

Hesse and her long-time associate head coaches Sue Frederick and Beth Perine won their 500th game as a staff on March 13, 2014, a 4-3 win in the Bears’ home opener against SIU Edwardsville.

Hesse’s mentorship in the circle helped MSU freshman Erin Struemph record the most strikeouts (155) by a freshman since 1987 and Struemph was the only Valley pitcher in 2014 to end the regular season with more strikeouts than hits allowed. Every pitcher on Hesse’s staff in 2014 had a .500 or better record, one of just three MVC coaches with the distinction.

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.

Sue Frederick AC

Associate Head Coach | 26th Season | Creighton, 1989 | Record at MSU: 678-631-2 Sue Frederick enters her 26th year on the Missouri State softball coaching staff.

In her role as associate head coach, Frederick serves as first 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 678-631-2 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.

She was a first team all-conference pick in 1987 and 1989 and earned the Carl M. Reinert Scholar Athlete Award as a senior. In 1989-90, she served as an intern for the High Country Conference in Laramie, Wyo. In 2000, she was inducted into the Iowa Softball Hall of Fame for her career accomplishments.

Inspired Bears Finish Second, Reach MVC Finals MSU players, team rewrite record books in successful campaign

S

tarting in the fall of 2014, the 2015 season took an unpropitious turn. The September diagnosis of MSU’s Allie Alvstad with acute myeloid leukemia took the team on an emotional off-season roller coaster. Add to that the news that Bethany Sullinger, the RBI record setter from the 2014 season, would miss all of 2015 and the outlook for the season remained a major question mark.

The Missouri State seniors would not let ominousness spoil their final season in a Bear uniform. Rebecca McPherson put on a power display for the ages as she set the all-time single season home run mark. Chelsea Jones pitched her way to first-team all-conference honors and her bat contributed to numerous other accolades.

Junior Erin Duewel got in on the power barrage as well, clubbing 11 long balls, one of two players to surpass the previous single season home run landmark. Duewel combined her home run prowess with the ability to rack up extra-base hits and set the single season standard in slugging percentage at .667.

Sophomore Erin Struemph put on a display in the circle that proved she will be ready to assume the role of staff ace moving forward. She earned All-MVC first team honors after setting the school record in saves and pitched her way to 15 wins and the third-best ERA in the Valley.

Joining the fray of spectacular seasons was freshman Erika Velasquez Zimmer. She earned Valley Newcomer of the Year laurels after leading the Bears in hitting (.361), mutli-hit games (19) and stolen bases (19). She was one of three MSU hitters with a hitting streak of at least 12 games and was

32

the only Bear to hit a grand slam on the year.

Despite being picked to finish seventh in the MVC by league coaches in the preseason poll, the Bears finished second in the Valley with a 17-9 mark.

Overall, MSU ended the season in the MVC title game with a 30-25 record. In 2015, Missouri State set team records with 48 home runs, 181 walks drawn, 22 double plays turned and 10 saves.

UPLIFTING START TO THE SEASON The Bears got a surprise visit at the hotel from a recovering Alvstad on the morning of opening day leading to a sweep of Abilene Christian and Louisiana Monroe. The enthusiasm of seeing Alvstad led the Bears to a 4-1 opening weekend in the first of two trips to the Bayou. Highlighting the on-field play was the emergence of freshman Kaitlin Beason. She earned a save in her first outing in the circle, registered a win in her first start and clubbed home runs for her first two hits, both in a win over ULM. The second weekend trip of the year saw the Bears in College Station, Texas. In the opening game, senior Chelsea Jones took a perfect game into the sixth inning against Eastern Michigan. MSU won both games played against EMU on the trip with freshman Chelsea Thomas blasting a pair of home runs on the second day. In the finale, the Bears got three perfect innings of relief from Struemph and were able to hang with the host #22 Texas A&M in a narrow 2-1 loss.

Missouri State headed back to the Bayou for the third weekend of the season. MSU suffered threeconsecutive setbacks to open the trip, but turned the

weekend around with a pair of wins over Big Ten opponent Iowa. Freshman Molly Fields picked up her first career hit with an extra-inning walkoff single against the Hawkeyes.

After a weekend off, the Bears headed to Norman, Okla. for the final road tournament to open the season. A tough weekend for MSU did have a bright spot as senior Ali Trickey hit her first career home run in the win over Samford on March 8.

HOME STAND AND MVC PLAY Missouri State began its home slate on March 11 with a doubleheader against UMKC. Game one went the Bears’ way by a 6-4 score, but the fun was just beginning. The second game of the DH saw Mary Stephens record the first 5-for-5 outing in the recorded history of the program. Her five hits were overshadowed by the MSU rally in the bottom of the seventh inning. Down five heading to their last at bat, MSU put up six runs capped by a walk-off three-run home run by McPherson.

The excitement wore off quickly as the Bears fell a three-game skid heading into the home stand into finale. In the final game of the series against Drake, Chelsea Jones tossed a complete game two-hitter with five strikeouts for the Bears’ first MVC victory.

The Bears headed out on a seven-game road trip beginning in Peoria, Ill. After dropping the series opener, MSU earned an extra-inning victory in game two behind Stephens’ second five-hit performance in 10 days and Struemph’s longest complete game outing of eight innings pitched. The Bears won the series in the finale as freshman Hailee Vigneaux recorded a pinch-hit RBI single in the seventh for

the decisive run.

After a non-conference setback at SIUE, the Bears travelled to Indiana State for the final road series of March. Struemph fired a complete game in the opener, striking out six in the win, as MSU split the doubleheader on day one. In the finale, the Bears held on for a 9-8 win getting a combined seven hits and five RBI from Stephens and Madison Jones, but Jones was lost to a season-ending injury in the game.

STOCKPILING VITAL VICTORIES The Bears concluded March with a home doubleheader against SEMO. After dropping the opener, MSU rallied for a game two victory behind Chelsea Jones’ complete game four-hit shutout.

The win over the Redhawks began a lengthy win streak for the Bears.

MSU opened April with a home series against Evansville. In the opener, Jones again pitched a complete game shutout, all nine innings. Elena Gambill hit a walk-off sac fly in the ninth for the 1-0 win. The Bears then cruised to wins in the final two games for a series sweep.

The next weekend, Missouri State hosted Loyola.

Velasquez Zimmer hit her first career home run in the opener, a grand slam, as MSU swept the Ramblers in convincing fashion to complete a 7-1 home stand on a seven-game winning streak.

Missouri State headed to Wichita and won the opener as Duewel hit a home run for the third straight game and drove in three runs. The Bears’ eight-game win streak was halted in game two despite home runs from McPherson and Braxton Coil.

The Bears headed to Illinois State in the middle of April for a pivotal series against the Redbirds.

MSU rolled to a game one win as eight-straight batters scored to begin the Bears’ fourth inning.

In game two, Struemph struck out 10 as the Bears shut out ISU for the second-straight game. More importantly, the game two victory was head coach Holly Hesse’s 700th career win.

HANGING ON DURING STRETCH RUN The final home stand of the year began with a visit by Wichita State. The rubber game went to the Shockers even though MSU set a team record for home runs in a season.

After a non-conference loss to #15 Missouri, the Bears dropped the opener against UNI despite four home runs. In game two, Struemph hurled all 11 innings and Duewel had a career-high four hits while driving in the walk-off run. The home finale was full of dramatics as senior McPherson belted a go-ahead two-run home run in her final home at-bat to break to single season school mark for long balls.

The Bears hit the road to conclude the regular season, first with a non-conference loss at Tulsa.

MSU travelled to Carbondale, Ill., to close out Valley play trailing MVC leader Drake by just a half game. However, the Bears were swept in the doubleheader to open the series. Needing a win on the final day to secure the two-seed and a bye, MSU handed the ball to Struemph who pitched a complete game, striking out 10. It was Duewel’s two-run blast in the sixth that broke a 1-1 tie as MSU clinched second place in the MVC.

MVC TOURNEY BOUND WITH A BYE Missouri State earned a bye into the MVC Tournament semifinals and watched day one of the action in Wichita to see who would emerge as the Bears’ opponent. It turned out to be seven-seed Illinois State setting up a matchup between the two winningest coaches in MVC history.

MSU fell behind in the top of the first inning as the Redbirds hit a solo home run with two outs.

The score remained that way until the bottom of the fifth. Olivia Roark began the rally with a one-out infield hit. The next batter, Stephens, belted a go-ahead two-run home run over the left field scoreboard. MSU added an insurance run in the inning and Struemph fired a complete-game to send the Bears to the title game.

Missouri State faced the Indiana State Sycamores

- 2015 Missouri State Season Review in the championship game. ISU’s small ball tactics were well documented entering the game, but the Sycamores’ execution proved too much. Single tallies in the first two innings set the stage for an offensive eruption in the fourth and fifth innings.

MSU trailed 9-0 as rain halted play in the middle of the fifth inning for nearly two and a half hours.

The Bears offense showed a little life after the rain dried up. In the bottom of the sixth, Duewel belted a two-run home run, but the Bears’ season ended an inning later.

For their performances, Chelsea Jones, Stephens and Struemph were tabbed for all-tournament

honors.

ABUNDANT POSTSEASON HARDWARE Missouri State had representation from every class on the All-Missouri Valley Conference first team.

Senior pitcher/utility player Chelsea Jones, junior shortstop Erin Duewel, sophomore pitcher Erin Struemph and freshman outfielder Erika Velasquez Zimmer each earned their initial first team accolades. Velasquez Zimmer added MVC Newcomer of the Year to her portfolio as well.

Senior Rebecca McPherson rounded out the honors with an All-Defensive Team nod.

Jones, Struemph and Velaquez Zimmer also earned NFCA All-Region laurels. It marked the first time since 1996 that MSU had three representatives on the all-region squad.

Scholastic honors were abundant as well. Jones, McPherson and Struemph all were named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete first team. McPherson also picked up Capital One Academic All-District honors.

Senior Ali Trickey became just the second MSU softball player to earn the MVC Leadership and Service Award.

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. On April 20, 2013, she became the first player to have her jersey retired by the Missouri State softball program.

2016 Postseason Information Tournament Field: The field for the 2016 NCAA Softball Tournament will consist of 64 teams and will be announced on May 15. For the 10th 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 June 2-8, in Oklahoma City.

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

2016 Women’s College World Series: The 35th annual NCAA Division I softball finals will be played Thursday, June 2, through Wednesday, June 8, 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 double-elimination format. The winner of each four-team bracket will advance to the championship, which will be played as a best-ofthree 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-ofthree 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 ninth-ranked 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.

The Missouri Valley Conference, 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, celebrating its 109th season in 2015-16. League members have worked together to focus on common goals and objectives, placing 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. In 2015, Wichita State (14) and UNI (11) represented the league in the final Associated Press rankings and gave the league its first sameseason pair of 30-win teams in Valley history. Both teams played in the NCAA Tournament, and Wichita State reached the Sweet 16. The Valley had the nation’s best post-season winning percentage (.824) as the league’s five post-season qualifiers combined for a 14-3 record, which including post-season tournament championships by Evansville (CollegeInsider.com Tournament) and Loyola (College Basketball Invitational). All five teams won at least one game. Wichita State’s Sweet 16 run included victories over storied programs Indiana and Kansas and marked the sixth MVC team to reach the Sweet 16 in the past 10 years.

The State Farm MVC Men’s Basketball Championship - affectionately known as Arch Madness - 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 2018. During the 2011 MVC Championship, the league surpassed 1 million in total attendance for the event, now in its 26th year in the Gateway City.

The tournament, in 2016, will be celebrating its 40th anniversary.

In women’s basketball, Wichita State won a school-record 29 games en route to a third-straight NCAA Tournament berth. The Shockers were joined by Drake (WNIT), Missouri State (WNIT) and UNI (WNIT) in post-season play. Meanwhile, the Conference remains committed to keeping the tournament at a neutral site. The women’s tournament, tagged “Hoops in the Heartland,” will compete in the iWireless Center in Moline, Ill., for the first time in 2016 as part of a multi-year agreement to conduct the league’s post-season tournament at a neutral site in the Quad Cities.

In baseball, The Valley had one of its most successful seasons to date, as three league teams were selected to play in the NCAA Tournament for just the sixth time in MVC history. Regular-season and MVC Tournament Champion Missouri State was joined by at-large qualifiers Bradley and Dallas Baptist.

MSU and DBU both hosted an NCAA Regional, marking the first time the league has had two hosting sites in the same season, and the Bears became the first national seed for The Valley, earning a No. 8 overall seed. Dallas Baptist won three games, Bradley won its first NCAA game since 1956, and Missouri State fell one game short of reaching the College World Series, losing a winner-take-all-game to Arkansas in the Super Regional in Fayetteville, Ark. Missouri State ended the year with a school-record 49 victories.

In soccer, SIU Edwardsville represented the league in the NCAA Championship, winning a first-round match in its first NCAA Tournament experience since joining the Division I ranks. Illinois State, meanwhile, became the first women’s team to win an NCAA Tournament match, beating South Florida to advance to the second round for a second-straight year (ISU had advanced in 2013 on PKs). Rachel Tejada earned Player of the Year honors for a fourth-straight season.

Illinois State had an historic run in volleyball, winning both the league regular-season and tournament titles while posting a perfect 18-0 slate in Valley matches, becoming just the third team in MVC history to run the table in volleyball. Indiana State won the MVC Tournament softball title for the second time in its history, and despite entering NCAA Tournament play with a losing overall record, the Sycamores won a game, ousting Louisville from the tournament. Drake’s men’s tennis team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship, while standout Alen Salibasic of Drake earned the NCAA Elite 89 Award for a second-straight year. Wichita State’s women’s tennis team earned the league title and lost in the NCAA First Round, but the Shockers’ men’s doubles team of Tomislav Gregurovic and Tin Ostojic posted WSU’s first NCAA doubles win in over three decades. Wichita State swept the men’s and women’s golf titles, and the Shocker men missed qualifying for the NCAA Finals by two strokes, finishing sixth in regional play.

In track & field, league student-athletes continue to be dominant nationally in the sport, as the MVC has now produced 17 national champions in the sport in the past nine years. Notably, 18 student-athletes from MVC schools qualified for the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championship in Eugene, Ore. Southern Illinois’ women’s track & field team finished 9th in the NCAA Indoor Meet and 12th in the NCAA Outdoor Meet. Indiana State, however, won both the men’s and women’s MVC titles in the indoor meet and also took home the men’s cross country title. And Bradley’s women’s cross country team took home just its second MVC title and first since 1998.

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 continues to be proactive in upgrading the production and marketing of both institutionally-produced and Conference-produced events.

The summer of 2015 yielded two major announces on the TV front, as ESPN and the Missouri Valley Conference announced a 10-year extension to their current media rights agreement that will provide increased coverage of Conference events across ESPN platforms through 2023-24. As part of the deal – which continues a business relationship that began in 1986 – ESPN, the Missouri Valley Conference and its 10 member institutions will work jointly to develop in-house production capabilities at each campus that will provide significant national coverage for multiple sports on ESPN3 and hands-on educational opportunities for students. As a result, ESPN3 will showcase a minimum of 820 events a year (a minimum of 70 men’s basketball) in the final six years of the agreement on the league’s cobranded network (The Valley on ESPN3).

Additionally, CBS Sports and the MVC reached a multi-year agreement

- www.MissouriStateBears.com -

to televise Valley basketball games on the CBS Television Network and CBS Sports Network. The deal, which begins this season and continues through 2019-20, is through a sublicense agreement with ESPN. CBS Sports has televised the men’s basketball tournament final since 2006.

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.

Notably, the 2016 men’s basketball tournament will mark the return as State Farm Insurance as the event’s title sponsor. The Valley remains the only college athletics conference that State Farm sponsors, and State Farm has been a sponsor of the conference since 1984, first as an advertiser on league TV games.

State Farm last had naming rights of the men’s basketball championship in 2012.

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. From 1998-2010, the MVC served as host for a staggering nine NCAA tournament events in that 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. In 2014, The Valley hosted an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, and in 2013, the league hosted an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event in Kansas City and previously assisted with preliminary round men’s events in both 2008 and 2012 in Omaha. In 2016, The Valley will once again be hosting an NCAA event in March, as it entertains a first- and second-round men’s basketball event in Scottrade Center.

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.

This season, the league will conduct its 105th outdoor track and field championship, its 98th tennis championship, its 62nd baseball tournament, and its 78th golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (57 years), indoor track (65), men’s soccer (25), women’s soccer (19), and swimming and diving (22), have helped solidify The Valley as one of the nation’s most respected conferences.

Athletic accomplishments include four NCAA national basketball championships, 17 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qualifiers. The league owns a total of 32 post-season national team championships, including two men’s basketball crowns in 2015 (Evansville-CIT; Loyola-CBI). 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 student-athletes 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, more than 80 former players, coaches and alums dot the league’s Hall of Fame.

Men’s basketball, perhaps, has the league’s most storied tradition, boasting the likes of Hall of Famers Bird and Robertson as former players, but The Valley has also produced national-caliber student-athletes in its other sponsored sports. In 2001, Missouri State’s Jackie Stiles became the first Valley woman to earn the Honda-Broderick Cup, given to the nation’s top female collegiate student-athlete. In the sport of track and field, Indiana State’s Holli Hyche captured seven national sprint titles in the early 1990s, Southern Illinois’ Darrin Plab won back-to-back NCAA outdoor high jump titles in 1991 and 1992, SIU’s Brittany Riley became the World record holder in the weight throw in 2007, and Kylie Hutson of Indiana State swept both the indoor and outdoor pole vault titles in 2009 and in 2010. Southern Illinois’ Jeneva McCall (three NCAA individual championships) and Illinois State’s Tim Glover (back-to-back javelin championships in 2011 and 2012) and Indiana State’s Felisha Johnson (indoor weight throw in 2011 and 2013) are the most recent multi-year NCAA champions in the league’s highly decorated history in track & field. Meanwhile, Raven Saunders of Southern Illinois earned NCAA shot put titles in both the 2015 indoor and outdoor meets.

League members include Bradley, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Loyola Chicago, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois and Wichita State. Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois Edwardsville are affiliate members in men’s soccer; Dallas Baptist is an affiliate member for baseball; Arkansas-Little Rock is an affiliate member in women’s swimming and diving; and Hartford, UMBC and Stony Brook compete as affiliate members in men’s tennis.

MISSOURI STATE

Killian Stadium W

ith the completion of a $2.7-million renovation project at Killian Sports Complex, the dream of a new stateof-the-art home facility became a reality for the Missouri State softball program in the spring of 2009.

Operated by the Springfield-Greene County Park Board, Killian Softball Stadium features seating for up to 1,200 spectators, making the East Springfield venue an attractive and viable candidate to host NCAA regional competition. The Bears’ new home is certifiable under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program due to its use of sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials and equipment.

Designed by Springfield firm Pellham-Phillips Architects & Engineers, the Killian Stadium project is part of a department-wide effort to upgrade the city’s recreational facilities. The redesigned Killian complex features surface improvements, upgraded lighting, coaches offices, a training room and locker facilities. The new and improved facility serves not only the Bears, but also houses the Park Board’s softball leagues and plays host to numerous national tournaments in the Queen City.

MISSOURI STATE

Head Coach H

ead coach Holly Hesse enters her 28th season leading the Bears’ program as the winningest coach in Missouri State history with a 704-691-2 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 in 2004, her 500th in 2007, her 600th in 2012 and joined the 700-victory club with a 4-0 win at Illinois State on April 18, 2015.

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 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 served as president of the Springfield chapter of the Women’s Intersport Network (WIN) from 2009 to 2012.

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.

Kyle

MOATS Director of Athletics Seventh 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.

During Moats’ tenure at MSU, he has hired seven head coaches, while leading the charge for facility upgrades totaling nearly $22 million, including the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Academic Achievement Center project, the Jim D. Morris Basketball Complex and new or renovated home facilities for 12 of MSU’s 17 sports.

During the 2013-14 academic year, he helped spearhead the passage of the Bear Experience and Recreation (B.E.A.R.) Fee, which will generate $1.4 million annually toward the enhancement of four separate athletics facilities upgrades, including Robert W. Plaster Stadium, a new sand volleyball facility, as well as the Betty & Bobby Allison North (field hockey) and South (soccer, track and field) Stadiums currently used by MSU’s intercollegiate and recreational programs.

In addition to being able to implement several facets of Missouri State’s long-range athletics facilty improvement plan through the B.E.A.R. Fee, Moats’ played a pivotal role on the task force that paved the way for the reinstatement of women’s tennis as a varsity sport in September 2013. As a result of the task force’s careful evaluation and recommendation, President Clif Smart announced the return of women’s tennis for the 2014-15 academic year, making it the 11th women’s sport and the 17th varsity program to operate under the MSU Athletics umbrella. Missouri State’s decision to revive the program after an eight-year hiatus will ensure the University’s long-term compliance with Federal Title IX regulations.

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 partnership with Nelligan Sports Marketing (now Learfield Sports), announced in February 2010. 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 for the Bears’ volleyball, women’s golf and baseball programs.

Moats’ efforts helped make the Jim D. Morris Basketball Complex a reality during the 2012-13 academic year. The $3.7 million construction project,

PEDDICORD

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.
