Kristina Schweikert enters her sixth season as the head coach of the Adrian College softball team. The softball program has significantly improved under the direction of Coach Schweikert.

The Bulldogs have an overall record of 142-60 and a 53-25 mark in the MIAA under Schweikert. The team has finished second place twice and has qualified for the MIAA Tournament every year under her direction. The Bulldogs completed a 23-17 season in 2012 and were 10-6 (3rd place) in the MIAA. Adrian picked up one win over a top 25 team with a 2-1 win over Trine in game two of a doubleheader on April 7. The Thunder were the only ranked team Adrian played in 2012. The team also picked up a win in the MIAA Tournament, 6-2, over Saint Mary’s on May 3. Adrian had a season-high five game win streak from April 19-26. The Bulldogs batted .289 as a team and ranked 62nd of 402 Division III teams with a 2.21 earned run average and 47th in fielding percentage (.962). In 2011, Adrian set a school-record with 35 wins and also set a school-record by beginning the season with 24 straight victories including a 14-4 drubbing of #4 Messiah on Feb. 28.

In 2009, Schweikert guided the Bulldogs to a 34-8 overall record. The 34-win mark set an Adrian College team record at the time. The Bulldogs also set school records with 58 doubles as a team, and 515 total bases. Schweikert used the talented roster to make a splash in the 2009 NCAA Mideast Regionals held in Greencastle, Indiana. Adrian College represented the MIAA conference as the third-seed in the Central Region.

We are a campus of confidence, heart, and determination. We aren’t your average college experience ... we are distinctive. We are made up of achievers, believers, entrepreneurs, and leaders. We are more than simply a “small college,” we are the roots of change. We inspire, ignite, and grow here. It’s getting your master’s degree in five years; it’s being a scholar, an athlete, and a humanitarian ... but more than just a number.
Do you have the “bulldog mentality?” 16

It’s not about winning championships... but let’s face it, that is what we do here. We throw winning passes, hit home runs, score hat-tricks, and serve up wins in nearly every sport on campus. Maybe it’s because our athletes are strong — both in their sports and in their classes. The average GPA for our student athlete is above a 3.0, and with over 50% of our student body involved in some form of athletic activity, that says something. Actually, it says a lot.
We value a winning tradition on and off the court, the field, the ice or wherever our students spend their training time. Visit adrianbulldogs.com for more information
