2015 Season Outlook 2014 NAIA SOFTBALL WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS #WeAreAUM
WARHAWK NATION
#WeAreAUM WARHAWK NATION
#WeAreAUM
Lauren Shaw
The Auburn Montgomery softball team has a lot to be excited about in 2015. For starters, the Warhawks return 18 letterwinners from last season’s 44-7 team,15 of which started games for the team. Second, that same 2014 team won the NAIA Softball World Series in Columbus, Ga., last May. Despite the optimism, the answers to several questions will play a role in the success of the 2015 campaign. How will the team adjust to having a new head coach in first-year skipper Eric Newell? Will the team still be hungry after reaching the ultimate pinnacle last season? How will they handle the pressure of being the team that is always targeted? Are there enough spots on the field for a veteran team that returns a combined 530 games started last season? “There is some pressure now,” Newell, just the second coach in the program’s history said. “I told our girls to let me be the one to deflect that pressure. I think they feel it too and that can be difficult for 18-22 year olds. The six seniors will also help shield our team because they have been there and faced the adversity before. They have won a national championship and are hungry for another one. Sometimes when you win, you lose that hunger, but I see it in their eyes and I expect they will carry our team during any tough times.” Despite the questions, the final result of last season is the ultimate goal for this season. Newell will benefit from having six seniors returning, led by All-American’s Cassie Jones and Katie Spain. Jones earned First-Team All-America honors last season after finishing 20-5 with a 1.41 earned run average and 230 strikeouts in 173 2/3 innings. Jones limited opposing hitters to just a .158 batting average and tallied 11 shutouts. “Cassie has been the face of the program the last couple years,” said Newell. “She is such a good leader on and off the field. She is coming off surgery this offseason and is working extremely hard to be there for her teammates and coaches. I think she will continue to get better and better as the season progresses. She is such a coachable player, who only wants to be her best and help her team win games.”

Cassie Jones
Spain, who earned Second-Team All-America honors the past two seasons, hit .361 with nine home runs, 39 runs batted in and 10 doubles last season. She also added 12 stolen bases and solid defense at third base. “Katie may be one of the best players I have ever coached,” Newell said. “She can do it all. She is a factor offensively and defensively. She has great speed and really has all the tools. She is certainly someone that our team will rely on to have another strong season.” Additionally, seniors Jade Sasser and Laci Driggers, both of whom missed a season of competition due to knee injuries, also return and will produce on the field, but will also provide leadership. Sasser finished last season with a .309 batting average, five home runs and 33 runs batted in, while Driggers missed all but two games in the 2014 season after suffering a season-ending injury in the second game of the season. “Jade has really impressed me with her vocal leadership,” said Newell. “I love the fact that she is so tasteful in her encouragement and the team rallies around her. She also leads by her example on the field. She has a great glove and will hit in the middle of our lineup. We need her on the field.” “Laci has absolutely won me over,” Newell continued. “She does whatever it takes to win a game. She plays all-out in practice, and especially in games. She is a great hitter and is an excellent defender. She will likely hit at the top of the lineup for us.” Catcher Lauren Shaw will also return following a junior campaign in which she won the Warhawks’ Offensive Triple Crown. Shaw posted a .382 batting average, with 13 home runs and 57 RBIs last season, while also guiding the pitching to a team ERA of 1.46. “It will be hard to keep Lauren’s bat out of the lineup,” Newell said. “She works so well with Cassie, so I see no reason to think that she won’t be our primary catcher again this year. She had an outstanding sophomore season and has been working incredibly hard to remain at that level. She

is never satisfied and is always pushing herself to get even better. She is an outstanding pitch caller, has a strong arm and will continue to be an integral part of our offense.” Fellow junior Kayla Hale will continue to be an asset for the team both at the plate and in the circle. Last season, Hale recorded a .353 batting average, with seven home runs and 39 runs batted in. She also finished 2-1 with 0.62 ERA in 15 pitching appearances. “Kayla can play first base, but will likely be our regular designated player,” Newell commented. “It is so hard to imagine our lineup without her in it. She has proven she can hit against the nation’s best and will continue to hit in the middle of our lineup this year.” Seniors Amie Kelly and Ainsley Faulk will also see significant playing time in the outfield, after each hit better than .320 last season. Kelly earned Southern States Athletic Conference All-Division honors following the season. “Amie has great speed and does a great job on the bases,” said Newell. “She has a strong work ethic and a great attitude. She has really put in a lot of work at the plate to improve her slap game, so I expect her to compete for a starting spot, particularly in left field.” “Ainsley is the likely starter for us in right field,” said Newell. “She is a great kid, who loves to play the game. She has solid speed and makes good decisions on the bases. She can also help us at the plate.” Adding depth to the team will be juniors Jennifer Jenkins and Katie Brinkman. Jenkins, who appeared in 44 games and hit .303 last season, can play both middle infield positions, as well as in the outfield, while Brinkman, a starter in 37 games in 2014, can play second base or in the outfield. “Katie is leading the way to be our opening day starter at second base, but the thing I like about her the most is her versatility,” said Newell. “She has the ability to play second, third or either corner outfield spot. She is a hard-nosed player and works to get better every day.” “Jennifer had to play a lot of shortstop last year due to injury, but will also play second base for us

this year,” Newell added. “She is another one of those players who would probably start on another team, but will have to continue to work hard for time this season. I have been impressed with her work ethic, so I have no reason to think that she will not find playing time somewhere on the field.” Sophomores Therese Byrne and Alexia Boggess will also have a key impact on the team, after both earned SSAC All-Freshman team honors last season. Byrne, a likely starter in left field, hit .379 with a team-high 16 stolen bases last year, while Boggess hit .328 with five doubles, before having her season cut short with a knee injury. Fellow sophomore Sarah Angulo will continue to provide a second option behind the plate, after driving in 13 runs in 67 at bats as a freshman. “I think Reese will find a way to get into the lineup,” Newell said. “She had a great year filling in for Laci as a true freshman and will push out seniors for playing time. She handles the bat, runs well and is solid defensively. I think she will continue to be a key piece of this team.” “Alexia has really impressed me with both her bat and her glove,” he added. “She plays the game so hard and loves to be on the field. As we have practiced, it looks that her knee is strong and that will be a key. I expect her to have another strong season for us.” “Sarah is a player who would be the top catcher at a lot of schools,” mentioned Newell. “She has a great arm and is solid offensively. She will play a key role on our team again this year.” The roster will be rounded out by junior outfielder Paige Nielsen, as well as sophomore second baseman Marisa Magnuson, outfielder Claire Wilson and first baseman Victoria Creamer. Nielsen had three doubles and eight RBIs in limited plate appearances last season, while Magnuson saw 24 at bats as a freshman. Wilson and Creamer will look to increase their contributions to the team this season. “Paige works very hard and will find a way to help this team,” said Newell. “Last year, she was a strong bat off the bench, but is also able to play in the outfield.” “Marisa is a tough out,” Newell said. “She is

small in stature, but pitchers have to work hard to find the zone against her. With that being said, she does a great job of making them pay for mistakes. She will compete for playing time.” ”Victoria is a role player for us, but pushes both Jade and Kayla in practice,” said Newell. “She is a team player and I am happy to have her as part of this team.” “Claire will transition to the outfield this year,” Newell added. “She works hard every day and I expect will continue to get better.” Hayden Henderson, an all-state outfielder from Springville, Ala., Amy Persinger, the 2014 Alabama High School Athletic Association 4A Hitter of the Year, and Rose Schmidt, a two-time all-region selection at Loganville High School in Loganville, Ga., will compete for playing time and are expected to see action as true freshmen. “Hayden is another player who can contribute this season, but will also be a key piece of our future,” Newell said. “She is solid defensively and handles the bat well. She will compete for time in the outfield.” “Amy is a player we are very excited about moving forward,” said Newell. “She had a very successful high school career, but is walking into an unusual situation where a team returns a significant number of players. She will contribute to the team this season, but I expect her true contributions to be in the future.” “Rose was recruited to be a third baseman, but could also see action at second base,” Newell concluded. “She is swinging the bat very well and has caught the eye of our upperclassmen. We will need to find ways to get her bat in our lineup. I think she will be our third baseman of the future.” With the pieces in place, Newell knows that he the 2015 Warhawks will be able to score runs, and potentially score then in a hurry. “I have never had an offensive team like this,” Newell said. I have always been the kind of coach to manufacture runs, but this team can put up runs and put them up in a hurry. I have had to adapt my coaching strategies to compliment this team and luckily we have had these few weeks during the preseason to make those adjustments. We have a

late start for a school in the Southeast, but that has been a blessing for them to adjust to me and for me to adjust to them.” In the circle, Jones, the 2014 SSAC Pitcher of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year, will be the focal point of the rotation, but the Warhawks will not skip a beat if she is not. Taylor Powell, an Honorable Mention AllAmerican last season, won a team-high 22 games last season, posting a 1.71 earned run average and 138 strikeouts. She ranked 14th nationally in victories and 19th in opponent batting average (.198). Hale will also see significant action in the circle, potentially as a closer. “Taylor has really impressed me so far,” said Newell. ”She really compliments Cassie, and that is something that is huge. She pounds the zone and pitches side to side. I expect her to have another big season for our team.” “Kayla has really impressed us in practice,” continued Newell. “The big key for her will be how she handles the pressure of games. This may be the season, where she is able to break through and throw more innings.” With the season nearing, Newell knows the Warhawks will need to be ready to play every day, both in conference play and against their non-conference slate. Entering the 2015 campaign, AUM will take on 12 opponents ranked or receiving votes in the NAIA Softball Preseason Coaches’ Poll. “The girls know they need to bring their best every day,” Newell concluded. “As the defending national championship, every team we play is going to be looking to defeat us. We cannot take anyone lightly in our non-conference slate and especially in conference play. It is very well known that the Southern States Athletic Conference is an elite softball conference, so we cannot take a day off. I am excited about the things that we have been able to do during the preseason, but I am really looking forward to getting the season started. I know our team is too.”

STEVE CROTZ Director of Athletics Seventh Year Missouri, 1979 Steve Crotz is currently in his seventh year as Athletic Director at Auburn Montgomery, following two stints as the interim athletic director. During his tenure, AUM teams have flourished, programs have been established and facilities have been improved. Student-athletes have also been stalwarts in the community and excelled in the classroom. Under his guidance, eight of AUM’s 10 sports have spent time in their respective NAIA Top 25 Coaches’ Polls and teams have won eight national championships. In addition, 252 student-athletes have earned All-Conference, All-Division or All-Freshman team honors, while 103 have garnered AllAmerican honors. AUM has added a softball program, as well as men’s and women’s cross country programs, increasing its number of varsity sports to 10. Crotz has overseen several facility upgrades, including the renovation of the basketball gymnasium to include a section of 304 cushioned, chairbacked seats on the home side of the court, the building of a new state-of-the-art press box at the AUM Softball Complex and the re-surfacing of all 12 tennis courts at the AUM Tennis Complex. In addition to the seating improvements in the gymnasium, Crotz also oversaw a remodeling project of the old weight room that now houses the AUM Athletics Hall of Fame and serves as a hospitality area for members of the Courtside Club. Upgrades to the Softball Complex also included bleacher seating for more than 200 spectators directly behind home plate, restrooms, a concession stand, a press area and increased storage. In the classroom, student-athletes have been equally impressive, as 226 athletes have earned All-Academic honors from the SSAC and 80 have been named NAIA Scholar Athletes. Three AUM student-athletes, women’s basketball standouts Haley McIntyre and Carlie Ainsworth, and men’s basketball’s David Gallagher, have been named the SSAC Honor Student Athlete. Within the community, staff, coaches and student-athletes annually combine to log more than 1,000 hours of service. The department participates in numerous activities in the community, including the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Toy Drive and blood drives, in conjunction with the American Red Cross. Crotz played an integral role in the development and cultivation of the projects. Crotz has worked with the AUM administration to expand the athletic department staff to include a head and assistant softball coach and an athletic trainer. He has also spent the past two years serving as the chair of the Board of Athletic Directors within the Southern States Athletic Conference. For his efforts during the 2010-11 academic year, Crotz was selected the SSAC Athletic Director of the Year. In addition to his role within the department of athletics, Crotz also serves in leadership positions on campus and within the community. He is currently a member of the AUM Chancellor’s Cabinet, as well as the university’s Senior Staff. Crotz was also a graduate of the university’s Leadership Academy. Civically, he is the President of the Montgomery Dixie Lions Club and serves on the Montgomery YMCA Board. Before focusing on administration, Crotz served 12 seasons as the head women’s basketball coach at Auburn Montgomery. Crotz compiled a record of 284-116 while at AUM, winning four regular season conference championships, two conference tournament titles, and advancing to the NAIA National Tournament 10 times. Crotz was a 10-time conference/ region coach of the year and was named the Ikon/Women’s Basketball Coaches Association National Coach of the Year following his team’s Elite Eight finish in the 1999-00 season. Prior to AUM, Crotz spent five years as athletic director and six years as head women’s basketball coach at Lindenwood University. While at LU, Crotz earned 126 wins and led the Lady Lions to three consecutive NAIA National Tournament appearances. During his six years at the St. Charles, Mo., institution, he was named American Midwest Conference Coach of the Year on four occasions. In October 2009, he was inducted into the Lindenwood Hall of Fame. Crotz also spent nine years at Brentwood High School overseeing the girls’ basketball program and winning 210 games. Five times during that span he led Brentwood to the Missouri State Tournament where they won the state tournament in 1985 and finished as the runners-up in 1986 and 1990. For his efforts, Crotz was named the Missouri High School Coach of the Year in 1985. Crotz received his bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Missouri in 1979 and his master’s degree in secondary education from Missouri-St. Louis in 1984.

Member Schools Auburn Montgomery (Montgomery, Ala.) Belhaven (Jackson, Miss.) Bethel (McKenzie, Tenn.) Blue Mountain (Blue Mountain, Miss.) Brenau (Gainesville, Ga.) Brewton-Parker (Mt. Vernon, Ga.) Coastal Georgia (Brunswick, Ga.) Dalton State (Dalton, Ga.) Faulkner (Montgomery, Ala.) Loyola (New Orleans, La.) Martin Methodist (Pulaski, Tenn.) Middle Georgia (Cochran, Ga.) Mobile (Mobile, Ala.) William Carey (Hattiesburg, Miss.) Founded in 1949, what is known today as the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) has prospered and excelled both athletically as well as academically in the Southeast region of the United States. The SSAC is currently made up of 14 institutions from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi. The conference was originally established as the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (GIAC) with six charter members, including Oglethorpe University, Berry College, Valdosta State University, North Georgia College and State University, Piedmont College and Georgia Southern University. In 1980 the league was renamed the Georgia Athletic Conference (GAC) and remained so until 1988, when its expansion into Georgia’s bordering states brought the need to change its name to the Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference (GACC). In 2003, the official name was again changed to the Southern States Athletic Conference. In November of 2012, the league announced that it planned to expanded to 16 teams for the 2013-14 season with the inclusion of Blue Mountain College, Martin Methodist College and Bethel (Tenn.) University from the TranSouth Conference. At the conclusion of the 2013-14 year, the league saw the departure of Southern Wesleyan University, Spring Hill College and Emmanuel College, which all transitioned to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II, in addition to Southern Polytechnic State University, which was consolidated with Kennesaw State University. Those vacancies allowed for the admission of Dalton State College and Middle Georgia State College. Both institutions will compete within the SSAC during the 2014-15 season, giving the conference 14 total members. The SSAC hosts 14 conference championships including men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s track and field. Since its inception and affiliation with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the conference has developed a reputation as being one of the premier conferences in the country in several sports. The SSAC boasts 32 teams and 11 individual national titles, while 30 more teams have finished as national runners-up. With its office based in historic Montgomery, Ala., the conference staff features Commissioner Mike Hall, Assistant Commissioner Sam Knehans, Treasurer Sally Shoppe and an Eligibility Chair, Dr. Ron Melton. The 2014-15 academic year marks the 15th year for Auburn Montgomery athletics competing as a member of the SSAC. Since joining the league in 2000, the university has collected 67 total conference regular season and tournament championships.
Auburn Montgomery has been a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) since 1975. In those 39 years, AUM has claimed 23 national championships and seven of the school’s 10 varsity programs have appeared in a national championship game. The NAIA, headquartered in Kansas City, Kan., is a national organization with nearly 300 institutional members and more than 60,000 student-athletes across the United States and Canada. Throughout its history, the NAIA has provided strong leadership for all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. Since its introduction of the intercollegiate championship of basketball in 1937, the NAIA has maintained its elite standards while administering first-rate athletics programs. The NAIA has continuously affirmed its commitment to equality by becoming the first national organization to offer institutional postseason opportunities to black student-athletes in 1948, to allow institutional membership to historically black institutions in 1953, and on Aug. 1, 1980, to vote in favor of the establishment of athletics programs for women. Today, the NAIA strengthens its commitment to student-athletes and strives to enrich their college experience by supporting academic achievement and character development. The NAIA approaches sport and activity as an opportunity to intentionally teach beyond the fundamentals through the philosophy of the NAIA Champions of Character program. By applying the five core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship, the NAIA has the ability to maximize talent to the benefit of each individual. In addition, the Champions of Character program monitors each NAIA institution’s commitment to the initiative with its Scorecard, which is divided into character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion.
