Letter from the President As Oklahoma’s fastest growing regional university during the past 10 years, RSU has enjoyed dynamic growth across its entire enterprise, such as: • Increasing its student population by 75 percent while still maintaining a personalized attention to service that’s become RSU’s hallmark; • Adding new academic programs to meet the needs of Oklahoma’s business and industry; • Constructing two student apartment communities to provide the Tulsa metropolitan area’s only residential, public university; • 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.
The university is pleased to be part of the Sooner Athletic Conference (SAC) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) - two organizations that place a high priority on promoting healthy values, developing strong character traits, and encouraging academic achievement among all student-athletes. We share these values at RSU and impress them upon our student-athletes every day. Athletics has a long tradition of bringing out the best among student-athletes on the field, while instilling in them a strong work ethic that can be applied to their academic studies and their post-collegiate careers. We appreciate your interest in RSU athletics, and we look forward to another great year on the diamond. Go Hillcats!
Dr. Larry Rice
RSU’s rapid 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. As a result, the university has made strong investments in athletic facilities.
President Rogers State University
Letter from the Athletic Director We appreciate your interest in our fledging athletic programs and hope you will join us at the ballpark on a regular basis this spring. The outpouring of community support we’ve received has played a huge role in our early success and will remain vital to Hillcat Athletics as we strive to raise the bar once again in 2012.
Greetings from the Hill and welcome to the seventh edition of Hillcat Softball. The Hillcats are coming off their fifth consecutive 30-win season and trip to the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament in 2011. Coach Mark Dicus and his staff have the Cats poised for another
Thank you for all you do in support of the Hillcats!
big season this spring.
Ryan Bradley
We are very proud of the team’s accomplishments and look forward to watching the Cats climb to even greater heights in 2012. We are also very excited to unveil our newly renovated baseball and softball complex this spring. Originally opened in 2007, the ballpark has undergone over $1.5 million in renovations and new construction over the past nine months. Once completed, we believe it will be regarded as one of the top smallcollege facilities in the country.

About RSU
u The new Baird Hall has doubled in size and contains many of the leading-edge features associated with higher learning today.
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 75 percent, earning RSU the title of one of Oklahoma's fastest-growing universities. A dynamic, progressive university with more than 4,600 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. Many students from northeast Oklahoma who plan to attend medical school complete their undergraduate studies through RSU's program in medical/molecular biology. And 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.

About RSU 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. 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. 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, South Korea and Wales through the University's Studies-atLarge Program. The international study programs provide students with opportunities to see the world, learn about other cultures, and enrich their educational experience.
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 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 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. RSU opened in September 2011 a new student apartment community 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. Stratton Taylor Library, which opened in 2004, features distinguished collections, wireless Internet, study areas, reading rooms, computer stations and classrooms.

About RSU
u RSU is Oklahoma’s fastest growing regional university.
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. 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. More than 100 graduates gave their lives in service to their country. In 1971, OMA closed and Claremore Junior College opened on the Hill, serving more than 400 students. The junior college grew rapidly in the 1970s, and by the time it was renamed Rogers State College in 1982, the institution boasted a variety of associate degree programs, distance learning capabilities, a new radio and television station and intercollegiate athletics. In 1999, the Oklahoma Legislature renamed the institution Rogers State University and charged it with seeking accreditation as a four-year university. Accreditation at the baccalaurete level was granted in 2000. Today, RSU is one of Oklahoma's fastest-growing universities, offering a wide variety of bachelor's degree programs to more than 4,600 students on campuses in Claremore, Bartlesville and Pryor.

Hillcat LIFE Programs
u The core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship are addressed in the Champions of Character program.
Academic Development The Rogers State University Student-Athlete Academic Development (SAAD) program is designed to support Hillcat athletes as they strive for success in the classroom and reach their educational and career goals. The program provides academic support such as advisement, subject tutors and learning groups for each RSU student-athlete. Study sessions are designed specifically for each athletic program, and student-athletes are given the opportunity to work with tutors trained in their particular area of academic study. The goal of the SAAD program is to help all athletes grow into responsible adults as they become upperclassmen and take initiative to be personally responsible for their education and their future. The Student-Athlete Academic Development program, led by Dr. Brian Andrews, is there every step of the way for all athletes, to ensure they are pursuing a degree that will support their personal goals and prepare them for life after college.
Hillcat LIFE Programs The Hillcat LIFE programs are designed to promote student-athletes’ success off the field or court. Each year, RSU introduces a variety of programs to enrich the college experience of its student-athletes, helping them avoid potential pitfalls and giving them information useful when making important life decisions. The following are some examples of Hillcat LIFE programs: Etiquette training: Student-athletes are instructed on proper dining habits, dating manners and courtesies. Each athlete is given a demonstration on the proper etiquette at formal meals. Drug and Alcohol Counseling: Student-athletes are made aware of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. They are given examples of athletes with promising futures who failed to reach their potential due to drug/alcohol abuse. “It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time…” Seminar: This presentation attempts to enlighten student-athletes about the existing legal realities associated with various acts they likely deem benign and provokes introspection that will lead to more careful decisionmaking. Nutrition Counseling: A nutritionist meets with student-athletes to discuss healthy meal choices and life styles. Athletes are given an overview of different types of foods and how they affect the human body.
5
Hillcat LIFE Programs Dangers of Gambling: Student-athletes are warned about the dangers of gambling addictions and also are warned against gambling on collegiate athletics, which is a violation of NAIA and NCAA rules. RSU athletics continues to expand its programs in order to provide a well-rounded education for all Hillcat athletes.
Champions of Character
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Champions of Character program is designed to instill an understanding of character values in sport, and provide practical tools for student-athletes, coaches and parents to use in modeling exemplary character traits. Launched by the NAIA in 2000, the Champions of Character program addresses character issues more comprehensively than any other national program for youth. The program currently reaches hundreds of thousands of students on nearly 300 college and university campuses in North America and extends into their surrounding communities. The NAIA has been informally teaching character development through athletics for decades. The core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship are addressed comprehensively in the Champions of Character program. The NAIA Champions of Character program is an educational outreach initiative that emphasizes the tenets of character and integrity, not only for NAIA college students, but for younger students, coaches and parents in our communities. Coaches, parents, administrators and community partners all have a role in developing students of character. The NAIA Champions of Character program brings them training, guidelines and behavior models to create positive environments that promote personal growth and fun sport activity.

2011 Softball Season Outlook Pitcher
This year’s Hillcat team enters with high expectations with the return of eight players, coming off a 2011 campaign in which the Rogers State softball team went 3328 to complete its fifth straight 30-win season and fifth consecutive Sooner Athletic Conference tournament appearance.
Ashley Wailand returns in the circle after compiling a 1311 record with a 3.52 ERA in 2011. The Davenport, Iowa native pitched in 151.1 innings, starting in 29 of her 40 appearances. She secured one save as a junior with 13 complete games. The right-handed hurler struck out 81 batters in her first season on the Hill.
Last season, the Hillcats knocked off three NAIA Top 10 teams and will look to continue that success this season with the addition of 11 newcomers.
“Wailand is back in the circle. She competed well for us early last year and we hope to get her back to that level this year,” explained Dicus.
Entering Coach Mark Dicus’ fourth season at the helm of the Hillcat Softball team, RSU is projected seventh in the Sooner Athletic Conference.
Also likely to see time is newcomer A’lex Koonce, a junior transfer from Western Texas College. As a sophomore at WTC, she compiled a 14-16 record with a 3.81 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 178.1 innings pitched.
“They have us ranked seventh in the preseason coaches’ poll, and I see that as refreshing. I like that challenge but I don’t think we can sneak up on anyone because they know we’re pretty good. I think we’ll be a big surprise in the SAC this year,” Dicus said.
Dicus discussed his newest pitcher, “A’lex Koonce will get the bulk of the innings if she can stay healthy. She can get it done. She has a great fastball, good change and good location on all of her pitches, making her more than capable.”
Having reached the SAC tournament for the fifth consecutive season, the goal is to play at the NAIA Softball National Championship, something the Hillcats haven’t done in program history. In the old format, the Hillcats competed in the Region VI Tournament winning two games in the 2007 season but haven’t made it past the conference tournament in postseason play.
Another new face, Laura Fleck, could see time in the circle as could Linsey Curtis. Both were a pleasant surprise to the coaching staff this fall.
Catcher With the graduation of second team all-conference and SAC gold glove selection Dina Ortiz, the Hillcats are looking for someone to fill the big shoes of the 5-4 starting catcher. “You can’t replace a kid like Ortiz because she was so good in so many different ways,” Dicus said. “Balls just didn’t get by her, she had good command of the pitchers, she knew when to push them and was just a great leader behind the dish.”
“We expect to go to the national tournament. It is my personal goal and we consistently try to instill the goal into our team,” Dicus commented. “I think that’s the difference between the Hillcats and our opponents is we’re willing to play hard every day. Sometimes that’s a difference maker. We have our eyes set on the national tournament; we want to be playing at the end. Winning the SAC would be great. Last year we beat three Top 10 ranked teams so we know we have the capability we just have to do it more consistently.”

2011 Softball Season Outlook
u The RSU softball team will embark on their seventh season in 2012.
The Hillcats will look to a host of players to fill the void behind the plate this season. Taran Threet saw time as the backstop for RSU last season. Junior college transfers Niki Keck and Kaitlin McCool will also be a part of the catching rotation.
Junior college transfer Justine Kodesh will be the primary back-up to Guerrero while also filling in at a variety of places. Freshman Megan Williams will join Fauchier in the middle of the infield. The Sequoyah-Claremore product comes to RSU after starting all four years for the Eagles where she earned all-conference and all-region honors as a senior.
“Keck, out of Independence CC, is a good offensive player that needs to grow a bit defensively and grow a little bit to lead the pitchers,” explained Dicus. “McCool, we want to play in the outfield really bad but she might be our most athletic catcher.”
“Megan Williams is a freshman that is very talented and is just trying to learn the system. She’s an everyday second baseman with great range, a good stick and a little pop off the bat for her size,” said coach Dicus. “With her and Fauchier, we’re protected in the middle.”
Infield “Ashlie Fauchier will probably be the mainstay of the infield. She’s a leader by example. Fauchier should have a great year, she’s had two previous solid years and usually they get better with age,” Dicus said.
First base will be by committee as Shelby Brogdon, Threet and Curtis will see time as all three can hit well. Jessie Wilhelm will find her way into the rotation in the middle infield spots. A five-tool player from Las Vegas, Nev., she will be one of the surprise factors according to coach Dicus.
Fauchier earned all-conference first team honors last season as a sophomore after tallying a .360 batting average and a .916 fielding percentage as the Hillcats every day shortstop.
“I really think our infield will be better than what it was last year and defensively we’ll be better,” Dicus explained.
Shona Guerrero will take over the hot corner with the graduation of Sarah Harvey. The Richmond, British Columbia native draws comparisons of Harvey from Dicus. “She is very athletic at the corner and nobody volunteers to play third base. But she’ll do a great job defensively and she’ll be one of our better hitters.”

2011 Softball Season Outlook Outfield Gone to graduation is centerfielder Brittany White, leaving the coaching staff looking for someone to fill the void after White had a perfect fielding percentage starting in 38 games a season ago. “You don’t replace a kid like White. We’ll be young out there as we start freshman Laura Fleck in centerfield. She has a really solid glove, is a good hitter and should be a big contributor,” Dicus said in regards to replacing first team all-conference selection White. The Hillcats will go by committee at right field depending on who fills the role at catcher. Threet, Kirsten Leppla, and McCool are the likely candidates. Expect Threet, who started 53 games in the position last season as a freshman, to be the starter. McCool brings the total package with great speed and arm at right. Threet and Leppla are good hitters making the transition to the outfield after playing elsewhere in high school. In left field, the Hillcats return Katrina Loy who started all 58 games she appeared in last season as a sophomore. A two-year returning starter, Loy swings a big bat, knocking in 29 RBI and hitting 10 home runs a year ago with a .586 slugging percentage. “Katrina is a good, smart player who is always in the right spot and gets the ball to the correct spot,” said the Hillcat head coach.
Schedule Once again RSU will face a tough slate balanced between a challenging non-conference schedule and the strong Sooner Athletic Conference schedule. Entering his fourth season coaching in the SAC, Mark Dicus discussed the conference, “The thing I learned fast is the SAC is a beast. It doesn’t matter what sport you’re playing and it’s no different with softball.” The Hillcats will open the season on the road facing regional foes Bacone College and Oklahoma Wesleyan. The softball Cats will spend spring break in Tennessee facing Tennessee Wesleyan, Bryan College and Christian Brothers College. After the spring break trip, RSU jumps right into the SAC schedule chock full with NAIA Preseason Top 25 teams like No. 3 Oklahoma City, No. 7 Lubbock Christian and No. 25 Oklahoma Christian. Two other SAC schools received votes in the preseason NAIA Coaches’ Poll. u Taran Threet started in 53 games as a true freshman in 2011.

Mark Dicus - Head Softball Coach Head Softball Coach Mark Dicus begins his fourth season at the helm of the Rogers State softball program in 2011. In three seasons on the Hill, Dicus has guided RSU to 99 wins. Dicus had five players earn allconference honors and one named to the Sooner Athletic Conference Gold Glove Team while another player earned NAIA Daktronics Scholar Athlete recognition. In 2010, four players earned all-conference honors and one was placed on the SAC Gold Glove Team. In his first season (2009), Dicus had four players earn all-conference honors and one on the gold-glove squad. Highly regarded for his recruiting ability, Dicus has added seven promising newcomers for the 2011 season. Prior to joining the Hillcats, Dicus spent a decade building a championship program at Seminole State College. In his 10 seasons at Seminole, Dicus led the Lady Trojans to a 550-196 overall record, claimed seven conference championships and made four national tournament appearances. He carved his niche as a softball guru during a 13-year run at Dewey High School. Dicus led the Bulldoggers to 13 straight state tournament appearances, reaching the championship game nine times while earning four state titles. He leaped to the college ranks in 1999 when he became the first head softball coach at Seminole State. Dicus won 79 percent (448-118) of his games as the softball coach at DHS and was named the Oklahoma State Coach of the Year four times for his efforts. He was honored as the National Federation Coach of the Year in 1994 and was elected to the Oklahoma High School Fastpitch Coaches Hall of Fame in 2002. During his time as coach, Dicus guided a Hillcat softball team that has quickly earned national respect and recognition in only a few short years. RSU has achieved five consecutive 30-win seasons, including a program-best 42 victories in 2008. RSU achieved a Top 10 national ranking and defeated the eventual national champion, Lubbock Christian, in 2008 and knocked off national powerhouse Oklahoma City in 2009.

Hillcat Softball 2011 Season in Review
u Ashlie Fauchier tallied First Team All-Sooner Athletic Conference honors in 2011.
The Rogers State softball team finished the 2011 slate with its fifth consecutive 30-win season and fifth-straight trip to the Sooner Athletic Conference tournament.
The Hillcats signature win came in thrilling fashion at the Border War Festival as they stunned No. 6 Central Baptist (Ark.) 9-5 with a walk-off grand slam by sophomore Shelby Brogdon in the bottom of the seventh inning at Hillcat Complex in Claremore. RSU trailed 5-3 going into the bottom of the seventh. With two outs and a 1-2 count Brogdon blasted a grand slam over the fence in left field to win the game. The Cats also garnered wins over Evangel and Culver Stockton at the festival.
The Hillcats reeled off a six-game winning streak to start the season. After dropping the final game of a four-game series to Grand View, RSU bounced back with another six-game winning streak including a doubleheader sweep of Mid-America Christian in its Sooner Athletic Conference opener.
Plagued by injuries, Coach Dicus’ squad dropped their final six matches in the regular season. The Hillcats were swept by No. 25 Oklahoma Baptist and dropped four games to No. 9 Oklahoma City. RSU opened the SAC Tournament with a 9-5 loss to OCU and moved into the loser’s bracket. The Cats claimed a 2-1 victory over USAO in eight innings to stay alive in the tournament. Southern Nazarene eliminated RSU 3-2 in the Hillcats third game of the day.
Junior Ashley Wailand tossed a no-hitter in her second appearance of the season against Oklahoma Wesleyan on February 23 as the Hillcat softball team swept the Lady Eagles in a twin bill in Bartlesville. Wailand struck out five while allowing just one ball out of the infield to record the second no-hitter in school history. The Hillcats kicked off the month of March with wins over Lindenwood and LSU-Alexandria at the Central Baptist College Invitational in Conaway, Ark. They returned to Hillcat Complex to register a pair of doubleheader sweeps over OWU and Bacone before hitting the road for spring break.
Five RSU softball players earned All-Sooner Athletic Conference honors. Senior Brittany White and sophomore Ashlie Fauchier earned first team all-conference honors. Fauchier started in all 60 of the Hillcats games at short stop with a .365 batting average. White had a 1.000 fielding percentage in her final season on the Hill. The Ashdown, Ark. native batted .336 and stole 11 bases on 13 attempts.
The squad spent spring break in Tennessee where they split a twin bill with then No. 9-ranked Trevecca Nazarene. RSU lost 4-3 in game one of the doubleheader but claimed the 8-7 victory over the Trojans in game two. The team rounded out its trip with a doubleheader sweep over Bryan College. The Cats surged past the Lady Lions in the opener as they registered a 9-0 run-rule in six innings. In the nightcap, RSU posted six runs in the fifth en route to an 8-1 victory.
Second team all-conference honors were bestowed upon senior Dina Ortiz and sophomore Amanda Edwards. Ortiz was the everyday catcher for the Hillcats in her final season with a batting average of .292. The senior backstop caught 12 of 20 base runners stealing.

New Construction at the Hillcat Complex
u Completion of the Hillcat Baseball and Softball Complex is expected in spring 2012.
The Rogers State University athletic department has embarked on the largest facilities enhancement initiative in the history of Hillcat Athletics and wants to give its fans an opportunity to be a part of the excitement.
The projects include $4 million in improvements to the baseball, softball, soccer, and cross country facilities that will benefit more than 120 of our student-athletes on a yearly basis.
RSU athletics is offering its fans and community supporters a fun and easy way to partner with the Hillcats during this historic period of development through the Pave the Way campaign. Supporters can leave a lasting legacy at one of the newly renovated facilities by purchasing an engraved brick with a personal message of their choosing. All proceeds from the sale of bricks will benefit capital improvements for RSU athletics. For more information about ordering a brick, contact the RSU Athletic Department at 918-343-7782.
The RSU athletic program has enjoyed unprecedented success since its inception in 2005. The Hillcats have combined for three conference championships, six national tournament appearances, and an overall winning clip of 67 percent over the past six years. RSU is proud to have the opportunity to provide its athletes with facilities that will foster continued growth and success for many years to come. Bricks at the Hillcat Baseball/Softball Complex will be placed in the central courtyard between the two fields. Located between the main entrance and the seating area, thousands of fans will pass through the courtyard each year. Bricks at the Soccer/Cross Country Fieldhouse will be located outside the building in a plaza area near the concessions and restrooms. The plaza will serve as a gathering place for fans before, during and after games with great sightlines to the field.
“These facility improvements will be a huge asset to our athletic programs, the RSU campus and the community,” RSU Director of Athletics Ryan Bradley said. “Once completed, these facilities will be recognized among the best small-college venues in the country. The Pave the Way campaign is a unique and fun way for our fans to support the growth of Hillcat Athletics and own a piece of history.”
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to leave a permanent marker at one of the premiere small-college athletics facilities in the country.

“I was looking for a university where I would be more than a face in the crowd. At Rogers State University, I’m a member of the Honors Program and the varsity cheerleading squad, all while pursuing my degree in medical/molecular biology. I don’t know for sure where I’ll be ten years from now but I do know I’ll be working in the medical field and my education will have prepared me to be successful. RSU has given me so many opportunities that I would not have gotten at other schools. For that, I’ll always be grateful.”

RSU Traditions Hillcat 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 “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. It is a fictitious cousin of the bobcat, which is indigenous to northeast Oklahoma. 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 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.
