IT'S PERSONAL “I have always dreamed of being a doctor, where I can help people and make a difference in their lives. RSU is giving me the chance to earn a bachelor’s degree that is perfect for pursuing medical school, while I can be active with campus organizations. Through RSU, I was able to get a summer internship with Grand River Dam Authority that gave me valuable real-world experience. It all adds up to make RSU the university I always wanted to attend.”

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT We welcome you to another exciting season of Hillcat baseball and softball which promises to build upon the excellence we’ve seen in previous years. The development of our athletic programs mirrors the exciting changes that have occurred throughout the university with a distinguished list of recent milestones that includes: • Developing RSU as the Tulsa metropolitan area’s only public, residential four-year university, providing students with personalized academic attention that’s become RSU’s hallmark; • Expanding the residential life experience with the construction of a new $11 million campus housing facility (University Village C) that will house residents starting in fall 2015 and this fall’s opening of the new $5 million Chapman Dining Hall that provides the first comprehensive dining facility on campus in decades, while also containing a storm shelter for campus residents during inclement weather; • Introducing new academic programs that meet the needs of Oklahoma’s business and industry, including our first graduate program – an MBA degree program that started this fall; • Expanding and remodeling academic facilities to provide students with up-to-date academic resources; and • Developing strong ties with the communities we serve in order to fulfill our mission of education and service. As the state’s newest four-year university, RSU has quickly matured into a leading regional university recognized for the value it provides to students and service it provides to the community. Our growth also extends to our intercollegiate athletics, which are a relatively new addition after being reintroduced to campus in 2005. In only a few short years, our Hillcat teams have become a vital component of the university’s DNA providing an infectious campus spirit and a strong connection to the community. The university and our students have invested in athletic facilities, including the new baseball/softball complex, Bushyhead Fieldhouse renovations, expansion and turf installation at Soldier Field and construction of soccer and cross country facilities on campus. We appreciate our entire student body for their support of these campus initiatives, including the student fees that funded the recently completed $4 million renovations of the soccer facilities and baseball/softball complex. Their support signals a strong vote of confidence in our athletic programs, but also represents their investment in the quality of life at Rogers State. We have enjoyed our affiliation with the Heartland Conference as we continue along our path to becoming full members of the NCAA Division II. We appreciated the high priority both the NCAA and the Heartland Conference place on promoting healthy values, developing strong character traits, and encouraging academic achievement among all studentathletes. These are core values for RSU’s programs, and we work daily to impress them upon our student-athletes. We appreciate your interest in RSU athletics, and we look forward to another great season on the diamond. Go Hillcats!

Dr. Larry Rice President Rogers State University

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Greetings from the Hill and welcome to the 10th edition of Hillcat baseball and softball. The RSU Athletic Department is set for the 2014-2015 school year as we embark upon RSU's second season in the Heartland Conference and continue the NCAA Division II membership process. The Hillcats have enjoyed tremendous success since their inaugural seasons in 2006. With back-to-back World Series appearances, RSU Baseball has gained national recognition in recent years and now regarded as one of the premiere programs in small college baseball. The Hillcat softball team also has seen success since their opening campaign. In their final season in the NAIA, the Softball Cats left their mark with a 30-0 start, ending the season in the NAIA Opening Round championship game. In 2015, the baseball program starts a new chapter as Head Coach Chris Klimas takes the helm as the second head coach in program history. Amy Cope will begin her second season as the head coach of the softball program. There is no better time to be involved in Hillcat Athletics as we look to continue to improve upon the triumphs that have helped make Rogers State Hillcats a household name. Both our baseball and softball teams have built a solid foundation for the program while also emphasizing the importance of academic success. We are very proud of the accomplishments of both of these programs and are excited to see what the future holds for these fledging programs. The outpouring of community support has played a huge role in our success and will remain vital to Hillcat Athletics as we strive to raise the bar once again in 2014-2015. Thank you for all you do to support the Hillcats!

ABOUT RSU

u RSU offers a wide variety of bachelor’s and associate degrees.

Rogers State University: A Great Oklahoma Higher Education Success Story Rogers State University holds a historic position in the annals of Oklahoma higher education. Since RSU was accredited as a four-year university in 2000, enrollment has increased by more than 60 percent, earning RSU the title of Oklahoma's fastest-growing regional university. A dynamic, progressive university with nearly 4,300 students, RSU is widely recognized for its high-quality academic programs, distance learning options and high-technology learning environment. RSU is the only public, four-year, residential university in the Tulsa metropolitan area. RSU offers a wide variety of bachelor's and associate degrees. Innovative new bachelor's degrees include applied technology, environmental conservation, military history, sport management and game development. In fall 2014, the university will begin its first graduate degree program, a master’s of business administration. Many students from northeast Oklahoma who plan to attend medical school complete their undergraduate studies through RSU's program in medical/molecular biology. RSU enjoys a statewide reputation for academic excellence in its nursing program. Distinguished Academic Achievements  RSU received continued accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools without further required evaluation for 10 years - a rarity in higher education in Oklahoma and a major accomplishment achieved by few universities. This is truly a testament to the high academic quality of RSU. RSU participates in The Washington Center Internship Program, a nationally recognized program placing students with private, public, and nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C. Students participating in the semester-long internship earn college credit while they gain "real world" experience within their field of interest and interact with influential leaders and policymakers. RSU is one of only three universities in Oklahoma to participate in this prestigious program. Most RSU faculty members hold doctoral degrees, or the highest degrees available in their fields, from esteemed institutions across the nation, including Princeton University, Duke University and the University of Oklahoma.

ABOUT RSU features associated with higher learning today, including classrooms equipped with Smart Boards, a performance studio, an art gallery and an outdoor classroom for learning outdoors on sunny days.

The university’s Honors Program provides an atmosphere where scholars can challenge themselves academically to maximize their college experience through specialized courses, student/faculty joint research projects, and a strong emphasis on service learning in the community.

RSU opened a new student apartment community in September 2011 that doubles the number of students living on the main campus in Claremore. The $11.5 million project accommodates up to 255 students in a three-level facility, located across the street from the present university apartments. The new 87,118-square-foot complex is located just west of Soldier Field. Chapman Dining Hall opened on campus in fall 2014.

The President's Leadership Class (PLC), a four-year scholarship program that fosters personal and professional development, was designed for RSU students who have demonstrated leadership abilities. RSU also offers study abroad programs in Italy and Wales through the university's Studies-at-Large Program. The international study programs provide students with opportunities to see the world, learn about other cultures, and enrich their educational experience.

Stratton Taylor Library, which opened in 2004, features distinguished collections, wireless Internet, study areas, reading rooms, computer stations and classrooms.

Growth in Learning Facilities  The Centennial Center, which opened in 2009, has become the centerpiece of the main campus in Claremore. This two-level, 50,000-square-foot facility combines student development programs under one roof, serves as a central location for students to study and socialize and provides a focal point for the RSU campus in Claremore. The facility also offers ballrooms, conference centers, and meeting rooms for the community.

A Brief History of RSU RSU was founded in 1909 as Eastern University Preparatory School in Claremore. The school prepared the daughters and sons of area residents to attend college. Historic Preparatory Hall, known for its iconic gold dome, was the first building on the school's campus. However, the school closed only a few years after it opened. Taking its place was the storied Oklahoma Military Academy (OMA), which operated on the Hill from 1919 to 1971.

A major expansion and renovation of Baird Hall on the Claremore campus was completed in 2010. The new Baird Hall has doubled in size and contains many of the leading-edge

ABOUT RSU

u RSU is Oklahoma’s fastest growing regional university.

Known as the “West Point of the Southwest,” OMA has an extensive register of graduates who became great leaders, both in military and civilian life. More than 2,500 OMA graduates served in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

#2 MAKENZIE KIRK


AMY COPE - HEAD COACH Amy Cope enters her second season at the helm of the Rogers State softball team as the third head coach in program history after being promoted in April 2013.

As recruiting coordinator, Cope brought in the Hillcats best recruiting class to date prior to the 2013 season securing the Softball Cats first ever NAIA All-American and the only first-team All-American in RSU school history. The 2012 signing class went on to produce one first-team all-conference selection and three second-team all-conference members.

In her first season as head coach, Cope and the Hillcats finished with an 18-35 record in their first season as a member of the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference going 9-15 in league play. RSU closed the year posting an 11-7 mark at the Diamond Sports Complex.

Cope, formerly Amy Renault, completed a standout playing career at the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma in 2008. She earned all-conference honors in softball at Connors State College before finishing her career at USAO. The former Claremore High School standout helped the Lady Zebras to a pair of State Championships in 2003. During her junior season at CHS, Cope was a member of the girls’ basketball team that won the 5A state title. In her senior campaign, she spurred the Lady Zebras to a softball state title in the fall of 2003.

Cope spent five years as an assistant coach at RSU starting in 2009 before taking over as head coach. In 2013, as an assistant, she helped the Hillcats to their best record during her time on the Hill finishing the season 40-19 and making the program’s first ever appearance in the NAIA National Championship.

She is married to RSU Head Women's Basketball Coach Bobby Cope. She completed her Master of Education degree in Sports Administration at East Central University in 2010.

In her five years as assistant to Mark Dicus, the Hillcats compiled a 175-120 record. As an assistant coach, Cope worked primarily with infielders and coached first base. Under her guidance, 10 infielders were named to the All-Sooner Athletic Conference team while three infielders earned AllConference Gold Glove recognition.

u Amy Cope embarks on her second season at the helm of the Hillcat softball program.

13


ANDREA VAUGHAN - ASSISTANT COACH Andrea Vaughan enters her third season as a member of the Rogers State softball coaching staff continuing her duties as the program’s pitching coach. Vaughan came to the Hill after spending eight years as the Program Director and Head Softball Coach at Oologah High School. During her time at the helm of the Mustangs, the team enjoyed tremendous success. OHS won the 2012 4A State Championship and the Verdigris Valley Conference Championship with an overall record of 31-5. The team made a semi-final appearance at the state tournament in 2011 and made it to the quarterfinals twice in her tenure (2005 and 2010). Fourteen of Vaughan’s players went on to play at the collegiate level. She coached 27 all-conference players, 12 all-region members and four all-state award winners. Vaughan twice was named Region 3 Coach of the Year (2010 and 2012) and a two-time Tulsa 7 Coach of the Year (2010 and 2011). In 2010, she was named the 4A East All-State Coach and honored as the 2012 Tulsa World All-Metro Coach of the Year. Vaughan enjoyed a standout collegiate career at Oklahoma City University, making three consecutive trips to the NAIA National Tournament. The Stars won the NAIA National Championship in 1997, were second runner-up in 1998, and made it to the title game in 1999. Vaughan, a right-handed pitcher, was a two-time Academic All-American at OCU. The Claremore, Okla., native helped the Claremore High School Lady Zebras to a State title during her senior season in 1994 and was named an Oklahoma All-State pitcher-Large East. Vaughan earned a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from OCU and earned a Master of Education degree in Sports Administration from East Central in 2014. She is married to Scott Vaughan and they have a son named Cameron.

KYLE PEASE - ASSISTANT COACH Kyle Pease begins his second season as a member of the Rogers State softball coaching staff after joining the program as an assistant coach in 2014. Pease came to the Hill after spending nine years as an assistant softball coach at Sequoyah High School in Claremore, Okla. He was hired by Sequoyah Public Schools in January 2006 and also spent six years coaching the baseball program. While working with the softball program, he helped guide the Lady Eagles to five state tournament qualifications and two regional finalist appearances. Nineteen former Lady Eagles continued their playing career at the collegiate level. Pease, a Claremore, Oklahoma native, is a 2005 graduate of Northeastern State University where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Education. He also holds an associate degree in business administration from Rogers State.

SOFTBALL OUTLOOK innings with her will be Rachel Jones; she comes from Southeastern (Oklahoma State). I look to see those two throwing quite a bit. Jessica Christian will also throw a little bit. We are going to have a transfer at semester come in, Bailee Kaderka, and she also comes from Western Oklahoma State College. She throws really hard as well and she has a great changeup," Cope mentioned.

The Rogers State softball team looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2014 season behind an experienced squad featuring five seniors and 11 juniors for its second season in the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference following an 18-35 record in 2014 going 9-15 in league play. "One thing that I look forward to in year two, is to continue to lay the foundation that we're wanting to as we move forward with this transition," Head Coach Amy Cope said. "We are still learning the new conference as we go and continue to build upon where we left off last year."

Welcoming such talented pitchers that have proven they can compete in a variety of situations has the coaching staff excited about the possibilities of a turn-around season. "Bringing in pitchers that have innings under their belt at the collegiate level helps us tremendously," Cope revered. "They all come from good programs that have played at a very high level. They're not wide-eyed and they want the ball, which is exciting to see. They are going to compete every day and give us a chance to win."

Easing the Hillcats into their second year in the Heartland Conference will be the services of a bevy of experienced players as 13 newcomers join the program, including 11 coming in with collegiate familiarity.

The five pitchers will throw to two returning catchers who joined the Cats before the 2014 season and a transfer entering her final collegiate season in 2015.

"Last year, it helped us as a marker to know where we stand in our new conference playing all the new (NCAA) Division II universities," Cope added. "I think we have improved at every position this year with the new recruiting class that we've brought in. I look forward to us doing a lot better in the conference."

"This year behind the plate we've added a new transfer, a senior from Southeastern Oklahoma State, Whitney Hamilton. I look for her to take a bulk of the innings behind the plate and she is going to do a great job," Cope added. "She will also be a good bat in the lineup but is a good defensive catcher. We also have Makenzie Kirk back. You will see her a little bit at third base too. She and Jamie Kowalick will split time behind the plate with Whitney."

PITCHERS/CATCHERS

With only one pitcher returning to the Hill in sophomore Mikayla McGoldrick, following the departure of its top two inning eaters, the coaching staff blazed the recruiting trail bringing in four new arms to the roster. "Losing Yolanda Rios, obviously that was a loss for us," Cope stated. "She not only led the conference in innings pitched but also strikeouts, so we have some big shoes to fill."

With so many new additions at such critical positions, the pitchers and catchers have had to expedite building chemistry and meshing as a unit heading into the first game.

#16 CARLEY CONLEY

The Hillcats look to their newcomers to fill the void in the circle as all four additions to the pitching staff threw significant innings in junior college looking to carry that experience to RSU.

INFIELD

"We've got Aubrey Voboril in the circle. She's got three or four very good pitches and has a lot of innings under her belt coming from a very good junior college, Iowa Western. She took them to the national tournament her freshman year. Also taking

"It is very important, the relationship between the pitcher and catcher; it pretty much drives the game. Everything starts in the circle and behind the plate. They're really the leaders and they see everything on the field. They pretty much command the game," Cope stated.

The Hillcats' infield will be one of the most experienced groups they have ever had with returning seniors likely covering three of the four positions and several others adding experience at the collegiate level competing for time on the diamond.

15


SOFTBALL OUTLOOK

u Maggie McBrayer comes to the Hill for her junior campaign from Western Oklahoma Junior College.

"I think it is very important for us to have our infield solidified within the first couple weeks of our season. Not only that, but having a few returners in the infield that know the system, know how we want to play defense, and know how we want to do things; that's very important to what we are wanting to do," Cope said.

Carley Conley started 52 of 53 games in her first season with the Softball Cats a year ago and will make the transition to cover the hot corner at third base. Conley played primarily at shortstop in 2014 but also saw action at second showing her versatility for Coach Cope while adding pop to the batting order, posting a .287 average and a team-leading 10 doubles.

After suffering a season-ending injury in the second week of the 2014 campaign, senior Toni Shurtliff will make her return to the lineup manning first base for the Cats in 2015. Katlin Alexander joins the mix as an offensive threat looking to insert some power for RSU, transferring from Paris Junior College.

"Cailin played multiple positions for us last year in the infield but I look for her to hold it down in the middle of the diamond for us. Of course, we have Carley Conley, who can play short and second as well, but we look at her to do most of the work at third base. She has great hands and got multiple positions under her belt in her season last year with us so look for her to be a seasoned infielder," Cope added.

"At first base, we've got Toni Shurtliff back as she gained her medical redshirt last year after getting hurt early in the season and we've also got Katlin Alexander. She is going to be a big stick in the middle of our lineup," Cope stated.

Coach Cope will rely heavily on the core senior group in the infield to provide leadership as the Hillcats continue to make a name for themselves in the Heartland Conference and NCAA Division II.

The starting spot at second base comes down to a battle between a pair of newcomers with Maggie McBrayer and Taylor Sutterfield each coming to the Hill from local junior colleges ready to make an impact in the lineup.

"Our infield is full of mostly seniors and we have two other upperclassmen on the corners," Cope boasted. "We have a freshman as well, Stephanie Schivally that could be playing one of our corners. It's very important for our seniors to continue laying the foundation of what we want to build and leave their legacy."

"Maggie is also going to be a big stick in our lineup. She did some great offensive things at Western Oklahoma State," Cope commented. "Then we have Taylor Sutterfield coming from Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa. I look for Maggie to do most of the work at second but Taylor; you can't count her out either."

OUTFIELD

The Hillcats will have a new look in the outfield after all three starters from the 2014 squad departed after graduation, leaving opportunities for a fresh group to step in and fill those roles.

The longest-tenured player on the RSU roster in 2015, Cailin Simpson, enters her third season with the Hillcats having started 104 games, including all 53 last season. The Riverside, California native will stay in a spot where she closed last year, covering the left-half of the middle infield.

SOFTBALL OUTLOOK

u Ashleigh Stidman is in her first season with the Hillcats after spending two years at Sierra College in Rocklin, California.

"Replacing the three seniors that we lost in the outfield will definitely be hard," Cope remarked. "In left field, we've got Chelsie Drew, who comes to us from Connors State College. Last year, I think she led the team in home runs. She is going to be a huge stick for us. She's got quickness, she's got speed, and she has a great arm, so I look for her to do really good things."

SCHEDULE

The Hillcats have 56 games on the docket for the 2015 campaign with 24 of those scheduled for Heartland Conference matchups. RSU opens its season on the road in Lawton, Oklahoma at Cameron February 10 before its home opener against Bacone the following week for a doubleheader February 17. The Hillcats then take their talents to the Northeastern State Softball Festival where five games are slated for February 20-22.

Ashleigh Stidman jumps into the lineup from Sierra College in Rocklin, California where she was a first-team all-state and allconference selection for the Wolverines. She will take a starting role for the Hillcats following a breakout 2014 season that saw her post a .441 batting average leading the team to conference, regional, and super regional championships.

"Our 2015 schedule is looking really good. I tried to add a lot more home games to our schedule so we are not traveling. It is always a lot easier to play at home," Cope said. A return series with Northwestern Oklahoma State at the Diamond Sports Complex prepares the team for the Heartland Conference opener closing February at perennial power St. Mary's. RSU will play most of March at home where an 11game homestand is scheduled during an 11-day stretch, including a doubleheader with 2013 NCAA Division II national champion Central Oklahoma, but that trend reverses in April as the Cats are away from home for 10-straight games. The season closes with the final four games in Claremore against Oklahoma City (April 25) and Southwest Baptist (April 28).

"Ashleigh led their team last year offensively and was a numerous award winner in the Big 8 (Conference). She is going to be our everyday center fielder," Cope said. RSU will welcome another transfer to the outfield mix as Malori Moss comes in for her junior campaign after playing at Western Oklahoma State. "I look for (Malori) to hit three or four hole for us. She has a great arm over the top," Cope stated.

"We open up our conference play with St. Mary's," Cope stated. "Obviously, they are a great team. It's never easy to go on the road and win, especially in conference. That's something I look forward to. We will definitely get to see where we are in the conference and where we stand. Our road conference trips are not backed up like we were at the beginning of the season last year. I think that gives us a better chance to win everywhere we go."

Two other players also transferred to the Hill and will push for time in the outfield as Bailey Spencer and Randye Sharp will don the navy and red in 2015. "Bailey can hit as well so I look for her to split some time with Chelsie. Randye is very quick and can get to the ball. I look for her to be a defensive replacement as well," Cope added.

2014 SOFTBALL SEASON IN REVIEW

u The Hillcats wore pink jerseys in their final home series of the season to "Strike Out Cancer" and help raise awareness.

After a pair of extra-inning losses at Northeastern State, the Hillcats dropped their next five games against perennial NCAA Division II powers St. Mary's and Central Oklahoma, the defending national champions. RSU responded from the adversity with a season-long, six-game win streak at the Diamond Sports Complex outscoring its opposition 39-12 with two shutouts thrown by the Cats' pitching staff. The Hillcats claimed both games of a doubleheader with Missouri Southern State before their first-ever conference sweep coming at the expense of St. Edward's led by Carley Conley's five-RBI performance in the opening two games and the junior closed the series with seven hits.

Beginning a new chapter in its storied program, Rogers State softball opened play in its first season as a member of the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference under the direction of first-year head coach Amy Cope. The Hillcats posted an 18-35 record, going 11-7 at the Diamond Sports Complex, and 9-15 in league play with a senior-heavy lineup. The season started on the road with five games at the Holiday Inn at the Falls Invitational hosted by Midwestern State. It took until the third game for RSU and Coach Cope to get its first win of the season picking up a 5-3 decision over Southern Arkansas. Toni Shurtliff was a perfect 2-for-2 in the game scoring twice while Makenzie Kirk and Jackie Flores each drove in two runs powering the Hillcats to the win.

The unbeaten stretch continued against Northeastern State late in March as the Hillcats and RiverHawks split a doubleheader with RSU taking game one behind senior Yolanda Rios' one-hit victory. The Fullerton, California native struck out 10 batters without allowing an earned run reaching double-digit strikeouts for the fourth time on the year and third during the win streak.

RSU returned to Claremore for its home opener welcoming Pittsburg State for a non-conference doubleheader where the teams split the twin bill before the conference season officially began. The Cats then traveled to former Sooner Athletic Conference foe Lubbock Christian for the first game between the two teams as members of the Heartland Conference, closing the month of February. The Chaps swept the threegame series sending RSU into a five-game skid, despite averaging four runs per game, before a win at Texas A&M International broke the streak behind a 6-2 victory in Laredo, Texas.

RSU ventured on the longest road trip in the program's nineyear history playing 10 games away from home spanning from March 28 through April 15.

2014 SOFTBALL SEASON IN REVIEW

u The Hillcats posted an 11-7 record at the Diamond Sports Complex in 2014.

Rios closed her career at RSU hitting the double-figure strikeout mark seven times on the season, including a career-high 13 versus Missouri Southern State. The right hander led the Heartland Conference by more than 20 strikeouts fanning 213 from the circle taking on the second-highest workload in the conference tossing 211.1 innings in 41 appearances.

The home portion of the schedule ended with conference play as the Hillcats closed the year winning four of their final five games, including a three-game sweep of the Aggies of Oklahoma Panhandle State. RSU won its fourth-straight contest getting a non-conference win over Southwest Baptist splitting a doubleheader to close the month of April before dropping a pair at Northwestern Oklahoma State May 3 putting an end to Coach Cope's first season at the helm of the Softball Cats.

Six members of the Hillcats donned the navy and red for the final time as Monigold and Rios were joined by fellow seniors Katie Ellington, Jackie Flores, Taran Threet, and Kelby Fritz in closing their careers on the Hill.

Senior Candace Monigold, a NAIA All-American in 2013, led RSU in nearly every offensive category and drew the notice of the conference's coaches receiving a spot on the 2014 Heartland Conference Softball First-Team All-Conference squad as an at-large selection. The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native registered a .364 batting average that ranked 13th in the conference while totaling the seventh-best slugging percentage in the league at .616, starting 51 games in center field. Monigold blasted a career-best 10 home runs and was named Heartland Conference Hitter of the Week March 24.

ROBERT BROWN - ASSISTANT COACH Robert Brown returns for his 11th season with the Hillcat Baseball coaching staff in 2015 serving as Assistant Coach since 2004. Brown has played an integral part in the Hillcats climb to a 2012 NAIA National RunnerUp season and back-to-back appearances in the Avista-NAIA World Series. Serving as the pitching coach for RSU, the Cats have had two players under his tutelage drafted in the Major League Baseball draft. Eight times a Hillcat pitcher was named to the Sooner Athletic Conference All-Conference teams in Brown’s time in Claremore while one catcher was recognized twice on the squad. He previously served as an assistant coach at Radford University, an NCAA Division I school in Virginia that competed in the Big South Conference.

Brown also is responsible for recruiting, travel management, and scouting along with his duties as pitching coach.

SKYLER ELLIS - ASSISTANT COACH Skyler Ellis joined the Rogers State baseball team as assistant coach starting in August 2014 after serving as a volunteer assistant coach at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, Calif., for one year. He will work primarily with the hitters and infielders and serve as the first base coach. A native of Buellton, Calif., Ellis worked for the Santa Barbara Foresters summer league team for the past year following a stint as the Shawnee Junior High School Head Baseball Coach. Ellis brings close ties with current RSU Head Coach, and former Oklahoma Baptist University Assistant Coach, Chris Klimas, after working as an assistant at OBU during the 2013 season. He played one season for Coach Klimas in 2012, where he covered first, second, and third base, while also serving as designated hitter. The Bison finished the season ranked No. 12 in the NAIA Top 25 Coaches' Poll and were one win away from reaching the NAIA World Series. Prior to his time at OBU, Ellis played one season at NCAA Division II Cal State East Bay starting at all four infield positions after a twoyear stint at Allan Hancock, where he earned his Associate in Liberal Arts degree in 2010. He was named first and second team all-conference with the Bulldogs and earned two Gold Glove awards at first base. Ellis graduated from Oklahoma Baptist in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology.

BASEBALL OUTLOOK and they have postseason experience. That's something you can't measure, that's something you can't manufacture," Klimas stated.

Entering its tenth season of competition, the Rogers State baseball team ushers in a new head coach for the first time since its inception in 2006 as Chris Klimas takes the program's reins in 2015 following the retirement of Ron Bradley, who served as the coach for nine seasons.

Two juniors are expected to join Marquette in the starting rotation as Caleb Banks looks to become a familiar face on the mound after missing all of last season with an injury. Michael Fusselman makes the transition to RSU from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M where he played two seasons for the Golden Norsemen with a chance to step right into the lineup.

The Hillcats return 23 players to the roster while welcoming 11 newcomers to the Hill as Klimas leads the team into its second season as member of the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference after posting a 17-28 mark in 2014 going 11-20 in conference play.

"Caleb is a guy that has as good of stuff as anybody in the conference. He is really going to be able to compete for us on the front end of the rotation," Klimas added. "Michael had a great fall for us as well. He pitches down in the zone, sinks it, cuts it, and just really knows how to pitch. He is a guy also that we are looking at being in that rotation on the weekends."

"I'm extremely excited to be here," Klimas said. "I think we've got a good group of returners here and we brought in a good group of new recruits this year. There is great tradition in place. Having coached against Rogers State for a long time, I know what this program is capable of and what they've done in the past, the tradition and the history that is here. I'm extremely excited to be here and get to work with these guys. I think we are in a position to be competitive every time we line up this spring."

With a demanding conference and non-conference schedule in 2015, the Hillcats will need other pitchers to step up into bigger roles, especially for mid-week games. Redshirt freshman Teigen Tieperman and junior Zach Tyson are two guys that could see their name called to start games in the navy and red. Tyson made 12 appearances a season ago posting a 1-1 record with one save.

PITCHERS

Coach Klimas and pitching coach Robert Brown have 12 pitchers on staff heading into the season, including five seniors, giving the Hillcats a solid base to build their rotation and bullpen.

"Teigen and Zach are both more than capable and will also have big roles for us," Klimas mentioned.

"Having Coach Brown running the pitching staff was probably my best recruit since I've been here. He does a great job with those guys and makes sure they're getting the work done they need to," Klimas praised. "We are going to be extremely competitive with the guys that we have. The thing that is probably the most exciting about the pitching staff is we have guys that have pitched in big games."

Every coach knows that in order to be successful a quality bullpen is essential and the RSU staff is no exception. The Hillcats will have Law serve as the opening day closer while a bevy of players will compete for the remainder of lategame innings.

RSU will rely heavily upon a pair of seniors as Mason Marquette and T.J. Law close out their careers on the Hill. Both were integral parts of the 2012 and 2013 teams that reached the NAIA World Series and ranked in the top three in innings pitched last season. Marquette threw two complete-game shutouts with a team-leading five wins in 2014.

"We'd like T.J. to be one of the guys on the back end for us but you also have guys like Hunter Spencer and Edward Layton who also have the stuff to pitch on the back end of the bullpen. We'll also have a unique role of guys that are able to spot start and flex in long relief for us out of the bullpen. Travis Teague from the left side had a great fall. He really knows how to pitch and had a good year here last year. Collin Thomas from the right side then Matthew Shepard also from the right side; those guys are going to be important parts of the pitching staff," Klimas said.

u Caleb Kohlmeyer is ready for his junior season after playing in all 45 games in 2014.

CATCHERS

"The relationship between a pitcher and a catcher is something that is very important and that we preached to the catchers as soon as we were able to start working out," Klimas revealed. "A lot of the conditioning they do, I make the catchers do it with the pitchers because I think it's important that they spend time and get to know each other. I want the catchers to be comfortable with the pitchers and the pitchers to be comfortable with the catchers and then call their own game."

One of the biggest position battles heading into the season takes place behind the plate as the Hillcats turn to four catchers on the roster pushing for playing time. "Behind the plate, we've got a couple of guys that are more than capable. I think we are very strong behind the plate with four catchers," Klimas stated.

INFIELDERS

A newcomer to the program jumped right into the mix and will catch a majority of innings for RSU as Jordan Goode transfers from NEO A&M.

The Hillcats turn to an experienced group of infielders with two starters returning and again talented newcomers added to the mix as the coaching staff knows that defense can be a difference maker in ballgames.

"Jordan had a great fall for us before getting injured in the last week of on the field. He is healthy now and ready to go and he is a guy that brings a lot to us offensively and defensively," Klimas claimed.

"We put a lot of emphasis on defense in the fall and the guys really bought into that, played hard, and played it really well. So if I were to say, going into the spring, the one thing that I would look at as a strength, would be defense," Klimas said.

Joe Crow returns to the Hill after starting 28 games a season ago and will push for time again in 2015 as two others seeks spots on the lineup card.

RSU's leading hitter is back for his junior season as Caleb Kohlmeyer returns to man his spot at first base where he played nearly every game a season ago. The Barnsdall, Oklahoma native posted a .317 average with a team-high 10 doubles and played great defensively tallying a .985 fielding percentage.

"Joe caught a lot of games for RSU last year. He has the experience," Klimas added. "Then we've got a redshirt freshman in Samuel Plotkowski and Garrett Hall from Owasso. Garrett had a really good fall for us as well and I think he has an opportunity to be a really special player with the skills he possesses only being a true freshman."

"At first base, I've got two guys. Caleb, who is a returner and had a really good year last year, and then Dustin Exford, from NEO. Having those two guys there is a big addition for us. I think that will definitely be a point of strength for us this spring," Klimas stated.

The early portion of the spring and a bulk of the fall practices were spent trying to build a working repertoire for the pitchers and catchers as it is such a vital part of the game and player development.

BASEBALL OUTLOOK

u The Hillcats have added several new faces to the infield for the 2015 season.

The Hillcats will turn to a new face to occupy second base as Cesar Rodriguez comes to the Hill from NOC-Tonkawa where he was a second-team all-region selection batting .359 in 53 appearances for the Mavericks in 2014. Joining him will be Austin Culwell, a fellow junior that made 40 appearances during his first two seasons for RSU.

back for his senior season after starting 43 games at three spots a season ago ranking second on the team with a .313 batting average. "Trae transferred in from Oklahoma Wesleyan. He was on their World Series team last year that went to the semifinals. We also have Ryan over there. Ryan played a lot last year and put together a really good junior season. I think at third base we are covered pretty well," Klimas added.

"They both bring different things to us, but both had great falls. Cesar really swung it well and Culwell played extremely well defensively for us and has as quick a pivot on the double play from the second base position as you'll see. Both of those guys I am really excited to see what they can do this spring," Klimas added.

OUTFIELDERS

RSU returns two starters in the outfield for 2015 where they have a lot of ground to cover at the Diamond Sports Complex. Three new additions and a pair of redshirt freshmen will all battle for playing time on the Hill as the roster has its most depth between the foul poles in recent history.

A mainstay in the infield since coming to RSU, Chase Knott returns for his senior season as one of two players to start all 45 games last year primarily at short stop. He will be joined by one of the Hillcats most versatile players in junior Johan Ochoa, who started 32 games at three different positions in 2014 and can play any spot in the infield he is needed.

Andrew Vanisi joins the Hillcats for his senior season transferring from NCAA Division II Cal State L.A. and will be an instant boost to the lineup. The former junior college all-American is a versatile fielder while providing power to an offense that hit only two home runs in 2014.

"Chase is coming off a really good, strong summer. I am excited about where he's at defensively and I think he has the ability to be a middle of the order offensive player," Klimas declared. "Johan also lined up at shortstop this fall. We are going to look at him everywhere, but he is a guy that can kind of fill in and has the ability to play anywhere."

"We were very fortunate to pick up Andrew at semester," Klimas mentioned. "He can play either corner outfield or corner infield positions and also gives us another option at the DH spot. He is a little bit of thump in the middle of the order; a guy that can change the game with one swing."

The drive for the starting job at third base is being waged by two talented and experienced players in sophomore addition Trae BoBo and senior Ryan Hendricks. BoBo racked up 42 RBI in 59 starts for the Eagles of Oklahoma Wesleyan last season as a true freshman from Owasso, Oklahoma, while Hendricks is

Another newcomer to the program will add some power to the outfield as Zack Ashford comes in from East Los Angeles Community College. He appeared in 40 games last season leading the Huskies with 11 outfield assists as a sophomore. Travis Peet will compete with Ashford for time after taking a redshirt in his first year at RSU in 2014. 47


BASEBALL OUTLOOK

u Alex Cochran looks to be the everyday starter in centerfield for the Hillcats in his final season at RSU.

"We had Zack Ashford lined up in right field along with Travis Peet. Zack is a big-time tools guy. He is 6-4, can really run, has got the best arm on the team, and has big-time power offensively. For him, the biggest thing is going to be consistency," Klimas said. "Travis is a guy that is just steady. Whenever you ask him to do something, he brings it every single day."

Up and down the lineup, the Hillcats have players ready to step up and return to their winning ways as RSU finished 2014 with only its second losing season in program history. "There are going to be some tough choices for the coaching staff to make when we start writing out lineups, but that is what it's all about. I couldn't ask for more from the entire group. I think that everybody has earned the opportunity to go out there and compete for a position and those guys have responded and taken on that responsibility," Klimas added.

A common theme in the RSU outfield is speed and the two players slated to cover center field have that in bunches with Alex Cochran back for his senior season while Cameron Kirk comes to the Hill as a junior from NOC-Tonkawa. Cochran led the Hillcats with 14 stolen bases and 22 walks in 2014 and has 33 swipes during his career on the Hill.

SCHEDULE

RSU has 47 games on the docket for 2015 beginning with seven-straight home games at the Diamond Sports Complex to open the schedule. The Hillcats will play 26 of those games in front of its home fans while 27 are slated for Heartland Conference matchups as they enter their second season as a member of the 10-team league picked to finish ninth.

"In center field, we have Alex returning. He played center field most every day last year. We also have Cameron, who is a transfer. Both of those guys can run really well and both have top end speed and cover a lot of ground out there. Both are going to play an exceptional center field for us," Klimas stated.

"We have an opportunity, with our first seven games being at home, to get on a roll early. The travel for us this year is not near as bad as it was last year so I think that puts us in a position to be successful," Klimas said. "You are going to be in for a battle every weekend in the Heartland Conference, but that is something we have talked about and are excited to be able to meet that challenge."

The Hillcats have two players tabbed to take a bulk of time in left field, and both are named Blake. Entering their redshirt junior campaigns, Blake Gipson started 44 games in the outfield last season leading RSU in nearly every offensive category while Blake Heston took a redshirt in 2014 following a 2013 season where he made 54 appearances in the navy and red.

The first road test will come against regional rival Northeastern State in Tahlequah, Oklahoma Feb. 17 followed by a trip to Texas to face Arlington Baptist Feb. 20-21. A return game with the RiverHawks takes place March 10 while RSU will also play home-and-home games with Arkansas Tech and Henderson State in non-conference action.

"Heston is going to be able to handle right-handed pitchers really well and then against tough left-handers I think you've got Gipson. He brings some things to the lineup that other guys that we have in place don't. He has good power, good gap-togap power," Klimas mentioned.

The Hillcats returned 14 players who saw playing time the previous season while adding three redshirts and 20 newcomers to the mix for 2014.

A mid-season slump was snapped with a conference sweep over Oklahoma Panhandle State at the tail end of a seasonlong, eight-game homestand. The Hillcats rounded out the season in a thrilling 12-inning affair at OneOK Field in Tulsa against long-time foe Oklahoma Baptist with the Bison pulling out the, 3-2, victory.

The Hillcats schedule looked much different than in years past. RSU faced several teams for the first time in program history and had numerous extended road trips to contend with during conference play.

Rogers State closed the season with a record of 17-28 in its first year moving to NCAA Division II competition and the Heartland Conference placing ninth in the league behind an 10-20 record. The Hillcats saw eight seniors play their final game in navy and red and their skipper, Ron Bradley, retired after nine seasons at the helm.

The season opened in Plano, Texas against Bethany College (Kan.) for a neutral site, three-game series. The Hillcats took game-one, 3-2, with senior Jesse Baird throwing a completegame victory. After falling in game two, RSU won the rubber match 5-3 behind a strong pitching performance from Mason Marquette while Zach Tyson tallied the two-inning save.

Bradley's clubs posted a 281-188 record. He left the Hill with the most wins of any coach in the RSU athletic department's short nine-year history. Bradley coached 19 all-conference selections, 11 conference gold glove award winners, four Daktronics-NAIA Scholar Athletes, two NAIA All-Americans, one ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American, and had three players selected to the NAIA World Series All-Tournament Team in 2012. Two Hillcats have been selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft under Bradley's tutelage.

RSU opened its home slate with a four-game sweep over Baker (Kan.) outscoring the Wildcats 25-7. Marquette pitched a complete-game shutout in the series finale allowing just two hits as the Hillcats picked up a 1-0 decision. The squad took the road to start Heartland Conference play in San Antonio, Texas with a three-game series at national power St. Mary’s. The Rattlers posted a doubleheader sweep on Friday to start the series but the Hillcats avoided the weekend sweep thanks to a 3-2 victory in game three with Marquette earning the complete-game win, his third victory of the season as he began the year with four-straight wins.

ABOUT THE HEARTLAND CONFERENCE The Heartland Conference is an NCAA Division II conference, founded in 1999, that currently consists of 11 schools, six from Texas, three from Oklahoma, and one each from Arkansas and Kansas. The schools comprising the Heartland Conference stretch from as far north as Wichita, Kan., as far east as Fort Smith, Ark., as far south as Laredo, Texas, and as far west as Goodwell, Okla.. The Conference stretches over a distance of 1,050 miles north to south and 610 east to west. The schools that are in the Heartland Conference include founding members St. Edward's University (Austin, Texas), and St. Mary’s University (San Antonio, Texas), and expansion members Dallas Baptist University (Dallas, Texas) in 2002 and again in 2004, Oklahoma Panhandle State University (Goodwell, Oklahoma) in 2002, and Newman University (Wichita, Kansas), Texas A&M International University (Laredo, Texas) and The University of Texas of the Permian Basin (Odessa, Texas) in 2006, the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith (2009), and Oklahoma Christian University in 2012, and Rogers State and Lubbock Christian in 2013. Among the many accomplishments of these institutions are national championships in baseball, golf, swimming, basketball, softball, and nationally ranked teams in all sports. The strength of the student-athlete concept is well supported by the many NCAA scholarathletes in each school, the high cumulative GPA of the student-athletes in each school, and the high number of student-athletes who graduate from each institution in the Heartland. The Heartland Conference is the newest of the NCAA Division II conferences. At the present time, there are 24 conferences in NCAA Division II, totaling almost 300 institutions in full or provisional status across the nation. Members of NCAA Division II believe that a well-conducted intercollegiate athletics program, based on sound educational principles and practices, is a proper part of the educational mission of a university or college and that the educational welfare of the participating student-athlete is of primary concern.

79


ABOUT THE HEARTLAND CONFERENCE Members of NCAA Division II support the following principles in the belief that these objectives assist in defining the division and the possible differences between it and other divisions of the Association. This statement shall serve as a guide for the preparation of legislation by the division and for planning and implementation of programs by institutions and conferences. A member of Division II: u Believes in promoting the academic success of its student-athletes, measured in part by an institution's student-athletes graduating at least at the same rate as the institution's student body; u Believes that participation in intercollegiate athletics benefits the educational experience of its student-athletes and the entire campus community; u Believes in offering opportunities for intercollegiate athletics participation consistent with the institution's mission and philosophy; u Believes in preparing student-athletes to be good citizens, leaders and contributors in their communities; u Believes in striving for equitable participation and competitive excellence, encouraging sportsmanship and ethical conduct, enhancing diversity and developing positive societal attitudes in all of its athletics endeavors; u Believes in scheduling the majority of its athletics competition with other members of Division II, insofar as regional qualification, geographical location and traditional or conference scheduling patterns permit; u Recognizes the need to "balance" the role of the athletics program to serve both the campus (participants, student body, faculty-staff) and the general public (community, area, state); u Believes in offering opportunity for participation in intercollegiate athletics by awarding athletically related financial aid to its student-athletes; u Believes that institutional control is a fundamental principle that supports the educational mission of a Division II institution and assumes presidential involvement and commitment. All funds supporting athletics should be controlled by the institution. The emphasis for an athletics department should be to operate within an institutionally approved budget, and compliance with and self-enforcement of NCAA regulations is an expectation of membership; and u Believes that all members of Division II should commit themselves to this philosophy and to the regulations and programs of Division II.

Lights were installed on the field in time for the 2008 season.The centerpiece at the Diamond Sports Complex is a 7,790 square-foot, two-story building positioned between the playing fields that began construction in late July 2011 and opened in time for the start of the 2012-13 academic year. The first floor includes concessions and restrooms for patrons as well as two dressing rooms for umpires and multiple storage areas.

RSU HILLCAT TRADITIONS

u Hunter the Hillcat was given his name in 2009 through an online voting contest.

Hillcat

Homecoming Week

The university’s official mascot, the “Hillcat,” is a unique blue and red animal that serves as a source of campus pride and provides a visual identity for the university’s Athletics, Student Activities, and other school spirit programs.

The university celebrated the first-ever Homecoming during the first week of November 2007, during the first Hillcat men’s and women’s basketball games. At RSU, Homecoming is a campus-wide tradition. A bonfire is typically held the night before the big games in the open area west of the University Village B student apartments.

The “Hillcat” embodies the enthusiastic, determined and bold spirit of the university’s athletic programs and the pride our students and alumni feel for the institution.

A campus office decoration competition is held during Homecoming Week, in which students and staff members compete to show their Hillcat pride.

It is a fictitious cousin of the bobcat, which is indigenous to northeast Oklahoma.

The Hillcat Hacker Invitational is a fun-filled golf event played amidst the hazards of Rogers State University’s scenic Claremore campus. The game features special nondestructive golf balls and is designed for pros, amateurs and hackers alike. The goal of this event is to generate camaraderie among the university’s friends and alumni, showcase RSU’s beautiful and historic campus and establish an outstanding Hillcat Homecoming tradition.

The mascot also draws its name from “College Hill,” a traditional nickname for RSU. The university sits atop a hill overlooking the city of Claremore. The name was conceived independently by a group of RSU students in spring 2005, and approved by the University Mascot Committee, Student Government Association, President, and Administration.

The Homecoming Tailgate Party, held outside of the Claremore Expo Center, is one of the most popular Homecoming events for students, alumni, and the community. For more information, visit www.rsu.edu/homecoming.

The mascot was developed and officially unveiled to the campus in 2005 by RSUPR – the university’s Office of Public Relations – with the assistance of SME Branding of New York, N.Y.

RSU HILLCAT TRADITIONS

u The Hillcat tradition of “Fear the Claw” began seven years ago and has spread throughout, the student body.

Fear the Claw

Alma Mater

As a member of the Hillcat team aligns himself or herself on the free throw line, the crowd at the Expo Center extends one arm skyward and makes the sign of the claw with their fists.

Lift the chorus, speed it onward For the Red and Blue, Hail to thee our alma mater Hail to R-S-U!

Not long after Hillcat men’s and women’s basketball was introduced at RSU, the home court at the Claremore Expo Center quickly gained a reputation as a formidable venue for opponents.

Rise above the Claremore valley Camelot to view, Stands our gracious alma mater Thrusting t’ward the blue.

If the shot falls successfully, arms descend in the manner of the scratch of a ferocious wild cat.
