#48 ALLIE ALVSTAD The month of September started innocently enough with the close of a holiday weekend on Labor Day and the start of fall practice for the Missouri State softball team.

But for sophomore Allie Alvstad, it was the beginning of a difficult journey both emotionally and physically.

On September 1, 2014, Alvstad was admitted to the hospital and four days later found out that she had acute myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow in the body. She began chemotherapy on September 9 and underwent a second round of chemo in late October. A match was found and Alvstad received a bone marrow transplant on December 19.

Alvstad will receive the Missouri Valley Conference Most Courageous Award for 2014-15, an annual honor bestowed upon a past or present student-athlete, coach or university administrator who demonstrates unusual courage in the face of personal illness, adversity or tragedy and whose behavior reflects honor on the institution or the Conference.

The softball team has rallied around its teammate with support of all kinds. Teammates spoke to organizations and other athletic teams on campus about Allie, her fight and the journey through which she is going. Orange wristbands with the inscription “Clear Eyes. Full Hearts.

Can’t Lose! #AllieStrong” have been distributed and support from the MSU community has been tremendous.

Orange is the official awareness color for leukemia.

Support for Allie is also displayed on social media by using the hashtag #AllieStrong. A Facebook page and Twitter account were created to provide updated information on her journey. For the latest information on Allie’s Journey, visit bit.ly/Allie48.

This season, in support of Allie, the Bears will place a #48 decal on their batting helmets, wear special orange jerseys during certain games, accessorize with orange ribbons, orange shoelaces and much more. The team’s motto this year is:

ALL IN WE WIN!

Striving for Sustained Success with Resiliency

T

The Bears look to put all the pieces together after roller coaster offseason.

he 2015 season will mark the 20th season together for the MSU coaching staff of Holly Hesse, Sue Frederick and Beth Perine. Hesse has guided the Bears’ program for 26 years with 674 wins under her belt.

The Missouri State softball team will be happy to have the focus back on the field come February 6 after a tumultuous offseason.

With the September news of teammate Allie Alvstad’s acute myeloid leukemia diagnosis, the game became a secondary focus to the struggles of a teammate looking to regain health and get back to playing the game of softball.

Last season was marred with injuries, including the loss of 2014 preseason All-MVC selection Mary Stephens on the first defensive play in game one. Freshman Madison Jones was lost for the season just 10 games in and other health issues tested the team’s fortitude, culminating with the news of Alvstad.

A similar story awaits for the 2015 season as last year’s RBI leader Bethany Sullinger will miss this season with injury. She tied the single season school record with 46 runs batted in and 28 of those RBI came with two outs.

Stephens is the lone returning Bear with

all-conference accolades in her portfolio after being named to the second team in 2013.

A revamped infield and the addition of a plethora of talented freshmen to the mix will be key for the 2015 team after losing six seniors from last year’s team.

IN THE CIRCLE The Bears have four solid arms entering the 2015 season. Senior Chelsea Jones has continued to improve in her three seasons in the circle and is a versatile asset that can help her own cause at the plate. With 104 appearances at MSU, Jones has steadily improved her ERA and was among the nation’s stingiest hurlers giving out just 1.43 walks per game, the 49th best rate in the country last season.

Sophomore Erin Struemph was named to the 2015 preseason All-MVC team on January 21 after a fantastic start to her MSU career. Struemph led the Bears with a 3.35 ERA and 155 strikeouts as a freshman in 2014. She ended the regular season as the only Valley pitcher with more strikeouts than hits allowed and her 11-strikeout performance at UNI on April 19 was the highest single game total in the MVC a season ago. With a season of Division I experience under her belt, Struemph looks to build upon her solid freshman campaign.

Junior Jessie Van Es has been an unsung, but valuable commodity in the Bears’ stable. She had solid outings both as a starter and in relief in 2014. Van Es fired two shutouts and in four of her five complete games in 2014 she allowed five or fewer hits against. She will be looked upon to step in and perform at key moments throughout the season.

The addition of freshman Kaitlin Beason will give MSU added depth, especially necessary during the busy early part of the schedule. Beason is also a versatile player with a powerful bat, who will help the Bears in a variety of ways this season.

“I am really excited to have that much depth,” said Hesse on having four pitchers on the staff this season.

RECEIVING CORP The Bears catching corp will feature one returner and a freshman face behind the plate. Junior Braxton Coil works well with the pitching staff and will step into a leadership role as a receiver after the graduation of Stacia Boeckstiegel. Her skills at calling a game and handling a pitching staff will be a major factor in the success of the Bears in 2015.

Freshman Molly Fields will split time with Coil. Fields was a standout hitter at Mater Dei

Catholic High and makes the transition to Divison I this season. Her ability to adapt quickly will be necessary as the depth at this position is depleted with the loss of Alvstad for the season.

“Braxton calls a great game and works well with our pitchers,” continued Hesse. “Molly will help Braxton stay well-rested and see a lot of innings back there.”

season-ending injury in the 10th game of the year.

Sophomore Olivia Roark will also battle for time at second base. She is a speedy lefty slapper and along with Jones’ power left-handed bat, both can plug into the MSU lineup nicely.

“It is exciting that we have at least two really talented players at each position on the infield,” declared Hesse.

ON THE INFIELD Missouri State’s infield will see a shuffle of sorts in 2015. The only returning starter from 2014 is shortstop Erin Duewel. She emerged as the starter at short midway through the season.

Duewel started 36 games after missing most of the 2013 season with injury. She belted two home runs, hit two triples and three doubles in 2014.

That allowed fellow shortstop Elena Gambill the opportunity to move over to third base as a potential replacement for graduated allconference senior Heather Duckworth. Gambill has stepped up as a viable option on the left side of the infield after receiving 32 starts as a freshman in 2014. She will battle for starting time at third base with freshman Chelsea Thomas and will relieve Duewel at shortstop when needed.

Stephens returns to first base after missing all but two games in 2014. Her bat will be a welcome addition back into the lineup with the loss of Sullinger in 2015. Stephens will split time at first with Beason, but the Bears will look to get both bats in the lineup in most games.

The loss of three-time All-MVC second baseman Ashley Brentz gives the Bears an opportunity to see two new faces battle for playing time on the right side of the infield. Redshirt freshman Madison Jones moves to second after playing in the outfield as a freshman before a

IN THE OUTFIELD Senior Rebecca McPherson will anchor the Bears’ outfield. She has started 95 games in her career in left field and has upped her batting average every season. Her leadership will be relied upon with the possibility of two freshmen beside her.

Fellow senior Ali Trickey will be in the mix for playing time in the outfield as well. A left-handed bat and speedy player, Trickey can fill a variety of roles for MSU. Freshmen Erika Velasquez Zimmer and Hailee Vigneaux have been impressive through the fall and early this spring. Both are lefty slappers, with plenty of speed to cover a lot of ground in the outfield and capabilities to fill the leadoff spot in the lineup.

Chelsea Jones will see time in right field when the Bears need her bat in the lineup after she tied for the team lead with 12 doubles last season.

Another freshman, Sara Jones, provides more depth and possibilities in the outfield.

“Our returners have made major strides in their seasons here and over the last year especially,” stated Hesse. “But they will be challenged by our talented incoming freshmen.”

conference schedule with a number of early season tournaments. During the first 31 days of the season, MSU will play three games against teams that competed in the 2014 Women’s College World Series and another versus a team that made the sweet 16.

Teams from power conferences including the American Athletic, Big Ten, Big 12, Conference USA and SEC dot the non-conference schedule.

The Bears will also serve as host of the Rally for Allie Leukemia Awareness Tournament on Februay 28 and March 1. The tournament will feature three other Missouri schools.

“I believe it is important to challenge our team early with tough competition and that was the goal when we made this schedule,” contended Hesse. “The goal is to become better, win or lose, so that when it comes time to play in conference, we are the best team that we can be.”

THE MVC RACE The Bears were picked to finish seventh according to the MVC preseason poll of coaches. It is one slot higher than MSU finished in 2014, but the Bears aspirations are much higher.

Wichita State won the regular season title in 2014 after being picked to finish eighth, so MSU only sees the sky as the limit of where they can go this year. The Shockers are favored to repeat this year, but perennial powers Illinois State, UNI and Southern Illinois, along with last season’s tournament champion Bradley, will once again make the Valley slate a tough road for all 10 teams.

“The Valley race is always exciting,” declared Hesse. “I expect us to finish higher than that (seventh) and our players are working harder to finish higher than that.”

Head Coach 27th Season Creighton, 1982 Record at MSU: 674-666-2

tacia

ead coach Holly Hesse enters her 27th season leading the Bears’ program as the second-winningest coach in Missouri Valley Conference history with 674 victories. Hesse joined the 600-victory club with the Bears’ season-opening 7-2 win over Sam Houston State at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Classic in Denton, Texas, on February 17, 2012.

Hesse is the winningest coach in Missouri State history with a 674-666-2 record.

Her tenure includes two regular-season MVC titles, five MVC tournament crowns and five NCAA Tournament appearances. Hesse recorded her 300th win in 2000, her 400th win in 2004 and win number 500 in 2007. Missouri State leads all schools with 69 wins in the MVC Tournament and Hesse has the most MVC Tournament wins with 47.

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.

tacia

AC

Sue Frederick enters her 25th 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 648-606-2 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.

Even more spectacular was the fact that 28 of those RBI came with two outs, by far the most in the MVC. The season also saw MSU’s senior step up to lead the Bears. Ashley Brentz finished with a team-best .333 batting average and drew 25 walks to finish her career in the top-5 all-time with 76 bases on balls.

Speedy center fielder Kerri Cunningham had a break out year on the base paths. She swiped 25 bases on 28 attempts, the second-most stolen bases in a season in MSU history. She also hit .325 on the year, just shy of Brentz’s team lead.

Heather Duckworth clubbed 11 doubles, one shy of Brentz and Chelsea Jones’ 12 on the year.

As a team, the Bears hit 70 doubles, tying the single season team record. Duckworth also had a careerhigh 113 assists on the year, giving her 376 for her career, the fifth-most in team history.

In the circle, freshman Erin Struemph paced the Bears with a 3.35 ERA, 155 strikeouts, 10 complete games, a 13-12 record and three saves. MSU did not have a pitcher with a sub-.500 record on the

season.

On the year, the Bears finished 28-27 and reached the quarterfinals of the MVC Tournament. MSU hit .266 with 22 home runs, 67 stolen bases and 224 runs scored, just three shy of 2013’s total.

SUCCESSFUL TRAVELS BEGIN YEAR MSU began the year with a three-game set at Georgia Tech. The season began ominously as preseason All-MVC selection Mary Stephens suffered a season-ending injury on the first defensive play of the year. She competed in both games of the season-opening doubleheader, hitting safely in both. In game two, Duckworth had a big game offensively and Struemph earned her first career win as MSU split the DH. The second weekend of the season saw the Bears travel to Texas. Although the weather wasn’t summerlike, the Bears bats were on fire.

Led by Sullinger’s .625 average, the Bears swept all five games to take the title at the UTA Maverick Invitational. On the opening day of the tournament, Sullinger blasted three home runs and drove home seven runs as MSU downed host UT Arlington and MAC favorite Central Michigan. On day 2, the pitchers were the stars as Jessie Van Es fired a complete game and Chelsea Jones tossed a threehitter to give MSU a pair of wins over South Dakota State. The Bears faced host UTA in the title game and Struemph pitched her first career shutout to complete the weekend sweep. Sullinger’s splendid

weekend earned her MVC Player of the Week honors.

MSU headed to Memphis the next weekend to play in the Blues City Classic. The Bears cruised to wins over Morehead State, Alabama A&M and Appalachian State before suffering a one-run loss to host Memphis. On the final game of the weekend, the Bears, behind the arm of Struemph, dominated a Lipscomb squad that came into the matchup 11-1. The weekend was marred by the season-ending injury to freshman Madison Jones after she crashed into a chain-link fence attempting to make a spectacular running catch in foul territory.

Cunningham and Struemph earned all-tournament honors at the Blues City Classic. Struemph went 2-0 with a save and a 0.45 ERA to also earn Valley Newcomer of the Week accolades.

A weather-shortened Missouri Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament saw the Bears split two games in Cape

Girardeau, shutting out the hosts in the process.

Chelsea Jones earned MVC Pitcher of the Week honors after her shutout of SEMO. The Bears finished the early season tournament schedule with a trip to Stillwater, Okla. for the Oklahoma State Mizuno Classic. After dropping the first three games, MSU closed the weekend with a 5-1 win over the host Cowgirls. Struemph racked up 10 strikeouts in the win over OSU. Stacia Boeckstiegel homered for the secondstraight game and the Bears beat Central Arkansas to end the season opening road swing.

HOME STANDS GOOD TO BEARS Missouri State hosted SIU Edwardsville to open the home slate. The Cougars jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but the Bears rallied back with a walk-off 4-3 win on Chelsea Jones’ double. The victory also marked the 500th win together by the MSU coaching staff of Holly Hesse, Sue Frederick and Beth Perine.

The Bears jumped right into conference play and split the opener against Bradley. The series finale was pushed back due to weather, which resulted in a busy and hectic week ahead. Jones earned her second MVC Pitcher of the Week award after going 3-0 for MSU. Northern Colorado came to town for a rematch of the 1974 AIAW National Championship.

Sullinger drove in two and the Bears prevailed 4-1.

The next day, MSU travelled to Kansas City for a doubleheader against UMKC. The Bears swept the DH behind two-hitters by Struemph and Van Es. The Bears and Bradley completed the series the next day capping a four-games-in-three-days span for MSU. Struemph again earned MVC Newcomer of the Week after scattering just three infield hits and not allowing a run on the week.

A six-day respite was ahead for MSU, but the Bears’ offense sputtered to the tune of just two hits in a home setback to #17/18 Tulsa upon returning to the field.

The final weekend in March concluded a stretch of nine home games out of 11 played. The Bears swept the series-opening doubleheader against SIU with Van Es earning the win in both games. In the first game, MSU got a walk-off squeeze bunt from Chelsea Jones.

SHINING MOMENTS DOT ROUGH STRETCH The Bears would play 10 of their next 13 games on the road which began in Fayetteville. The Bears mustered five hits but suffered a five-inning shutout to Arkansas.

MSU headed to Drake for the third straight season. In game two, Van Es twirled a four-hit shutout in the lone Bears’ win in Des Moines. The next day, the Bears played a doubleheader against Loyola in a rescheduled affair at Northwestern.

The teams split the DH, but the highlight of the day was Boeckstiegel’s home run in the game one Bears’ win that landed on the roof of the adjacent basketball arena.

The Bears returned home for a series against Indiana State. After dropping the first two games, an emotional Pink Game propelled the Bears to the finale victory.

Again MSU headed out on the road. The first stop was in Wichita and the Bears were held hitless in the five inning game. MSU didn’t fare much better in the first two games of the series at UNI. But Erin Struemph reversed the trend with a dazzling 11-strikeout complete game win. The outing by Struemph marked the highest single game strikeout total by an MVC pitcher on the season.

Elena Gambill sparked the Bears to a split against Wichita State in a home doubleheader. She hit a walk-off double to cap a comeback in game one and doubled again in the bottom of the seventh in game two, but was stranded in scoring position with the tying run to end the game.

Struemph tossed a complete game six-hitter in a road loss to #15 Missouri. The Bears were swept

by Illinois State to conclude the home slate.

MSU headed to Evansville to conclude the regular season, clinging to the eighth and final slot in the MVC Tournament. Needing to win two games to secure a postseason seed, the Bears took care of

business in game one with a convincing 14-6 win that featured a nine-run seventh inning by MSU. The offense was cooled off quickly as the Aces held MSU to five hits and a sinlge run in a game two loss. Fourteen of the Bears’ 15 runs on the day were scored with two outs.

That set up a must-win in the final game of the regular season to qualify for the MVC Tournament.

The Bears fell behind on a UE first inning run.

MSU quickly tied the game in the top of the second inning and the teams remained knotted in a 1-1 tie until the seventh. Missouri State’s seniors led off the final inning and came through in the clutch. Brentz singled, Cunningham walked and Duckworth reached on a bunt single to load the bases with no outs. Sullinger picked up her 45th RBI of the year on a sacrifice fly to push the Bears in front. Chelsea Jones followed with another sac fly and the two runs were enough to propel the Bears into the postseason.

Erin Struemph pitched the final 4.2 innings in shutout relief and became the only pitcher in the league to end the regular season with more strikeouts (147) than hits allowed (146).

ON TO THE MVC TOURNAMENT Missouri State entered the MVC Softball Championship in Normal, Ill., as the eight-seed and faced a matchup with defending MVC Tournament champion UNI in the opening round.

The Bears jumped in front on a Chelsea Jones tworun double in the top of the first. MSU doubled its lead in the third inning on a double by Duckworth and an RBI double by Sullinger. Missouri State handed the ball to freshman Erin Struemph, who tossed a complete game for the win. It was the 69th

MVC Tournament win by Missouri State and the 47th by head coach Holly Hesse, who retook sole possession of the all-time tournament wins lead.

MSU advanced to the quarterfinals to face Bradley.

The Braves scored three times in the third inning and added a run in the fourth for a 4-0 advantage.

The Bears responded in the top of the fifth inning.

Boeckstiegel drove in the first run on a single up the middle with two aboard. The next hitter, Rebecca McPherson, cleared the bases with a three-run home run to tie the game at 4-4. It was McPherson’s first home run of the season.

In the sixth inning, the Bears inched ahead on a quirky two-out unearned run. But the lead was short-lived as Bradley hit a grand slam in the bottom of the inning and held on for the win to eliminate the Bears.

For her performance in the circle, Struemph earned a spot on the MVC All-Tournament team.

POSTSEASON HONORS BESTOWED A pair of MSU seniors were recognized by the league’s coaches at the annual postseason banquet. Second baseman Ashley Brentz and centerfielder Kerri Cunningham were named to the All-MVC second team. The honor was the first for Cunningham who stole the second-most bases in a single season for the Bears. Brentz earned her third-straight All-MVC nod.

Another senior, Heather Duckworth, was named to the Capital One Academic All-District VI squad following the season.

Duckworth also picked up MVC ScholarAthlete first team honors. She was joined by

Chelsea Jones and Bethany Sullinger, who each landed on the honorable mention team.

Sullinger was named MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week on May 7 after leading the Bears to the MVC Tournament. It was the first weekly academic award of her career.

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.

2015 Postseason Information Tournament Field: The field for the 2015 NCAA Softball Tournament will consist of 64 teams and will be announced on May 10. 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 May 28-June 3, in Oklahoma City. In all, 32 conferences will receive automatic bids and 32 teams will receive at-large bids.

Automatic Bids: The Missouri Valley is one of the 32 leagues whose champions will receive automatic berths in the NCAA Tournament. The Valley’s bid will go to the winner of the MVC Tournament, to be held May 7-9, at Wichita, Kan. The 32 conferences receiving automatic bids include: America East American Athletic Atlantic Coast Atlantic-10 Atlantic Sun Big 12 Big East Big Sky Big South Big Ten Big West Colonial Athletic Conference USA Horizon League Ivy Metro Atlantic Mid-American Mid-Eastern Missouri Valley Mountain West Northeast Ohio Valley Pacific-12 Patriot League Southeastern Southern Southland Southwestern Athletic Summit League Sun Belt West Coast Western Athletic Regionals and Super Regionals: Sixteen regional championships each consisting of four teams will be contested Friday through Sunday, May 15-17. Each double-elimination regional will be hosted by one

of the schools competing in that regional. The 16 regional winners will advance to the Super Regionals played Thursday through Sunday, May 21-24, again hosted by one of the two institutions involved at each site. The eight Super Regional winners will advance to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.

2015 Women’s College World Series: The 34th annual NCAA Division I softball finals will be played Thursday, May 28, through Wednesday, June 3, 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.

This Is The Valley 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 108th season in 2014-15. 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 2014, Wichita State put together one of the greatest seasons in NCAA history, starting the year with 35-straight wins. The Shockers’ only blemish came in their final game, a two-point loss to eventual national-runnerup Kentucky in the NCAA 3rd Round. Wichita State was the league’s first NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed since 1979, and WSU matched a league record with its perfect 18-0 conference record. Wichita State ended the season ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press poll and No. 7 in the USA Today Coaches poll, marking the 10th time in the past 13 seasons at least one men’s basketball team has finished in the Top 25.

The 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 25h year.

While the success of men’s basketball has received the greatest attention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually every sport continues to raise the national profile of the conference.

In women’s basketball, Wichita State reeled off a schoolrecord 20 wins en route to a program-best 26 wins and an NCAA Tournament berth. They were joined by Indiana State (WNIT) and Evansville (WBI) in post-season play. Meanwhile, the Conference remains committed to keeping the tournament at a neutral site. Establishing a neutral site remains a huge part of the overall efforts to improve women’s basketball in The Valley.

In baseball, Evansville won its second-ever regularseason title, and the league had two entries into the NCAA Championship as Dallas Baptist and Indiana State both received bids. The league finished the season ranked No. 7 in conference RPI, with five teams in the Top 100. Five teams passed the 30win threshold, marking the eighth-straight season in which at least four MVC teams have reached 30 wins.

In soccer, Bradley represented the league in the NCAA Championship, winning a first-round match at Northwestern.

Illinois State, meanwhile, became the first women’s team to advance to the second round, besting Louisville in PKs. Rachel Tejada earned Player of the Year honors for a third-straight season.

In track & field, league student-athletes continue to be dominant nationally in the sport, as the MVC has now produced 14 national champions in the sport in the past eight years.

Notably, 27 student-athletes from MVC schools qualified for the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Championship in Eugene, Ore. 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 conferenceproduced webcasts.

In 2010, The Valley took a major step toward ensuring current revenues in television media and tournament sponsorship sales would be guaranteed in future years when it announced a 10-year partnership with Learfield Sports. The Jefferson City, Missouri-based company now has the exclusive sales and marketing rights to MVC assets that include championships and television advertising.

During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. 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. Last year, The Valley hosted an NCAA second- and third-round men’s basketball event at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, and in 2012, 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.

The seeds for the creation of the conference were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two

months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted.

In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

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

This season, the league will conduct its 104th outdoor track and field championship, its 97th tennis championship, its 61st baseball tournament, and its 77th golf championship for the men.

Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (56 years), indoor track (64), men’s soccer (24), women’s soccer (18), and swimming and diving (21), 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 30 post-season national team championships, including Wichita State’s men’s basketball NIT title in 2011. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis.

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

Indeed, the inclusion of women’s programs under The Valley banner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference -- which began in 1982 -- merged with The Missouri Valley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conference on July 1, 1992.

While the inclusion of women’s sports under a comprehensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league’s storied history, over the years, Valley 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.

In the fall of 1997, Creighton’s Johnny Torres was named the collegiate male soccer player of the year for a second-straight year, while SMU’s Luchi Gonzalez (2001) and Tulsa’s Ryan Pore (2004) have also earned a National Player of the Year honor in men’s soccer. Meanwhile, league member Wichita State has produced three national collegiate players of the year in baseball, including Joe Carter (1981), Phil Stephenson (1982) and Darren Dreifort (1993).

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; and Arkansas-Little Rock is an affiliate member in women’s swimming and diving.

Killian Stadium W

ith the completion of a $2.7-million renovation project at Killian Sports Complex, the dream of a new state-of-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 PellhamPhillips Architects & Engineers, the Killian Stadium project is part of a departmentwide 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 27th season leading the Bears’ program as the winningest coach in Missouri State history with a 674-666-2 record. Her tenure includes two regular-season MVC titles, five MVC tournament crowns and five NCAA Tournament appearances.

Kyle

MOATS Director of Athletics Sixth 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. This past 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 the construction of a new east side complex for student seating at Plaster Stadium, a new sand volleyball facility, as well as the Betty & Bobby Allison North (field hockey) and South (soccer, track and field) Stadiums.

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,

RAINES 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.
