HOME TO YOUR BLACK KNIGHTS

FOLEY ATHLETIC CENTER

Army’s 25th anniversary as a varsity sport coincided with its move into a new, state-of-the-art Softball Complex located at North Athletic Field, adjacent to Gillis Field House, in the spring of 2003. The complex, completed in the fall of 2002, was dedicated that spring, but the original date for the ceremony (March 9, 2003) had to be postponed because of snow and poor fi eld conditions. With the Black Knights headed south to the Rebel Spring Games in Florida, the fi rst game in the new facility was moved back to Wednesday, March 26, with the Fordham Rams playing in the inaugural game. Brig. Gen. Daniel Kaufman, then-Dean of the Academic Board and one of the motivating forces behind construction of the facility, threw out the fi rst pitch to then-Army Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan. Fordham’s 2-0 win ruined Army’s debut in its new facility, while inclement weather caused the nightcap to be cancelled. Just over a week later, the Black Knights notched their fi rst wins in the new complex when they swept a doubleheader from Manhattan on Thursday, April 3. Army’s 2-1 fi rst-game win was followed by a thrilling 6-5 v i c t o r y that went 11 innings, which still ranks as the longest game at the complex. Considered one of the fi nest softball facilities on the East Coast, the complex was recognized by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) as one of four Regional Turface/Field Maintenance Award winners in 2004. Army shared the honor with Texas A&M, Tennessee at Chattanooga and Southern Illinois with Stetson named the national winner. “The Army Softball Complex is a great facility we are privileged enough to call home,” noted fi rst-year head coach Michelle DePolo. The view alone, of the Hudson River and surrounding hills, makes it a remarkable location. “Inside, the entire playing surface, both infi eld and outfi eld are fl awless. The lights allow us enjoy the fi eld at anytime, particularly during the shortened New York days in the off-season. “ There is room to expand and we are looking forward to completing the second phase of the project in the near future. The complex and its continuous

additions are great examples of the commitment this institution shows toward athletics and the softball program.” The complex includes a 500-seat grandstand with a fully-equipped press box, dugouts, two batting cages and a state-of-the-art electronic scoreboard. The fi eld dimensions are 200 feet down the lines and 210 feet to center fi eld. With renovations among the athletic playing fi elds around West Point continuing to be of prime importance, the Softball Complex was upgraded this past fall with new grass sod (blue grass) replacing the outfi eld surface, while the electronic scoreboard now sports a state-of-the-art message board. Clark Companies, the same group that was awarded the project of constructing the complex, was also responsible for the sod project. The Softball Complex, now in its eighth season as the home fi eld for the Black Knights, has made a large impact on the program. Army has reached the Patriot League Championship fi nals fi ve times during that span.

ARMY SOFTBALL COMPLEX FOLEY ATHLETIC CENTERFOLEY ATHLETIC CENTERThe latest jewel in Army’s treasure trove of athletic facilities, Foley Athletic Center opened its doors two years ago, serving as the “winter home” of the Black Knights. The massive 77,000-square-foot structure not only provides Army’s football team with a state-of-the-art indoor practice facility, but also offers spring teams such as Army baseball and softball another option for preseason training sessions where the teams can train in a climate-controlled environment during the winter months and inclement weather days throughout the year. The facility contains a full 100-yard football playing fi eld, along with full 10-yard end zones on both ends. Additionally, a fi ve-yard buffer encircles the fi eld. In all, the FieldTurf playing surface covers 130 yards in length. In addition, a 50-yard-by-10-yard speed and agility room is housed in the sprawling training center. The project was made possible through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. William Foley, who pledged a gift of $15 million towards the continuation of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade project. The largest single donation in service academy history, the gift by the Foley family funded the design and construction of the facility that bears its name. The Foley Athletic Center represents Phase II of the “Margin of Excellence” facility upgrade which began in 2001.

Forbes.com ranks West Point as the best public college or university, and the 6th best college or university of any type in America, while U.S. News & World Report ranks West Point as the best public liberal arts college in the country. There are approximately 12,000 applications each year for less than 1,200 cadet vacancies. Applicants compete for vacancies and are evaluated in three areas: academics, physical aptitude and demonstrated leadership ability. Cadet vacancies are allocated to each member of Congress and to the representatives to Congress from Washington, D.C., Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Mariana Islands. Many foreign governments are also invited to nominate cadets under a Department of State program, so the student population at West Point is incredibly diverse. The following is an overview of the fi rst three steps toward gaining admittance to West Point. Further information regarding the admissions process and orientation visits is available by calling the Director of Admissions at (845) 938-4041. Should you wish to schedule an offi cial visit, contact the Army softball offi ce at (845) 938-2575. Determine if you meet entrance requirements.

DETERMINE IF YOU MEET ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a com-missioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional growth throughout a career as an offi cer in the U.S. Army; and a lifetime of selfl ess service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy celebrated its Bicentennial in 2002. But West Point’s role in America’s his-tory dates to the Revolutionary War, when both sides realized the strategic importance of the commanding plateau on the west bank of the Hudson River. Gen. George Washington con-sidered West Point to be the most strategic position in America. He personally selected Thaddeus Kosciuszko, one of the heroes of Saratoga, to design the fortifi cations in 1778 after problems arose with French engineers originally placed in charge of the design. In 1779, General Washington transferred his headquar-ters to West Point. Continental soldiers built forts, batteries and defensive barriers. A 100-ton iron chain was extended across the Hudson to control river traffi c. Today, several links from that chain are arranged at Trophy Point as a reminder of West Point’s original fortifi cations. In 1802 President Thomas Jefferson signed the legislation establishing the U.S. Military Academy to create an institution devoted to the arts and sciences of warfare. This effectively elim-inated America’s wartime reliance on foreign engineers and artil-lerists. West Point became the nation’s fi rst engineering school and served as the model for engineering programs which were eventually established at other colleges. Col. Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of the Military Academy,” served as Superintendent from 1817 through 1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Early graduates were largely responsible for the construction of the nation’s initial railway lines, bridges, har-bors, and roads. Although the curriculum maintains its focus on engineering, in recent decades the program of instruction has markedly changed, providing cadets a selection of more than 40 majors. This tradition of academic and military excellence, guided by a demanding standard of moral and ethical conduct, remains the cornerstone of the West Point experience. It is said at West Point that “much of the history we teach was made by those people we taught.” The Academy has produced famous leaders throughout its illustrious past…Civil War Gener-als Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Jackson, to name but a few. In World War I, 34 of the 38 corps and division commanders were graduates. World War II would see many graduates reach briga-dier general or higher, to include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Bradley and Patton. In more recent confl icts, MacArthur, Ridgway, West-moreland, Abrams, Schwarzkopf and Abizaid were in command. Academy graduates have also excelled in air and space explo-ration, and countless others went on from military service to be-come leaders in medicine, law, business, religion and science. Since its founding, the Military Academy fulfi lls the same mis-sion as it always has . . . to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets. It accomplishes this mission by developing cadets in three essential areas: intellectual, physical and military. These developmental paths are balanced and fully integrated into the daily life of each young man and woman at the Academy. Intellectual growth is fostered through an academic curricu-lum that provides a broad liberal education in the arts and sci-ences. The electives program builds upon the foundation of the core, allowing cadets to develop even greater competence in se-lected areas. In addition, the fi elds-of-study and majors nurture the development of creativity, critical thinking, and self-directed learning, essential characteristics of 21st century offi cers. The four-year academic experience leads to a bachelor of science de-gree and a commission as a second lieutenant in the Army. Physical development is achieved through a rigorous athletic and physical education program. Each cadet participates at the

intercollegiate, club or intramural level each semester. This readies the cadet for the physical demands of military life and helps teach good judgment and self-discipline, even while under mental and physical stress. Military development begins with the cadet’s fi rst day at West Point. Most military training takes place during the summer, with new cadets undergoing Cadet Basic Training, or Beast Barracks, their fi rst year, followed the second summer by Cadet Field Train-ing. Cadets spend their third and fourth summers serving in ac-tive Army units around the world; attending specialty training such as airborne, air assault or northern warfare or helping to train the fi rst- and second-year cadets. The Cadet Leader Development Sys-tem seeks to give the cadets increasing responsibility until they are ready to receive their commissions and assume their duties as leaders in today’s Army. Moral and ethical values guide cadets throughout their four years at West Point. Commitment to the Academy’s “Bedrock Val-ues,” based on integrity and respect for the dignity of others, begins on the fi rst day. Integrity is refl ected in the Cadet Honor Code which states: “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Respect denotes that cadets treat others with the same respect and dignity they themselves would expect. At West Point, it is not enough to train leaders—they must be leaders of character. Admission is keenly competitive and is open to young men and women from all states and territories and from every socioeconom-ic level. Prospective cadets must receive a nomination by a mem-ber of Congress or from the Department of the Army. The Academy seeks candidates who possess records of success in academics, athletics and leadership indicative of well-rounded individuals. Although the life of a cadet is demanding, there remains an array of club activities ranging from golf, skiing, boxing, crew and orienteering to such organizations as the cadet radio station, Habitat for Humanity and Big Brothers-Big Sisters. Additionally, the U.S. Corps of Cadets hosts a Special Olympics event each spring. Today’s Military Academy is a vastly different institution from the small academy legislated into be-ing by Congress in 1802. Original-ly just 1,800 acres, the Academy has grown to more than 16,000 acres. The fi rst graduating class numbered just two men; today’s classes graduate more than 900 new offi cers annually, both men and women, who are prepared for leadership roles within the Army. With the expansion of knowledge and the changing needs of the United States Army and the nation, life at West Point has changed to keep pace. Ever mindful of its rich heritage, the U.S. Military Acad-emy is devel-oping leaders for tomorrow, and its focus remains the n a t i o n a l needs of the 21st cen-tury.

“Any of us who went through the process; anyone who felt the fl ame of that furnace, came away al-tered in the way we go about running our lives. Some part of it is the belief that you are not only doing it for personal glory, but you do it because it is your responsibility. It’s part of being a member of The Corps and each of us that have felt that magic feel especially privileged to have done so.” - HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER PETE DAWKINS

“As I look back over my career in government, in busi-ness, of course in the military, I think West Point was a very infl uential experience. It hardened a sense of discipline, a sense of responsibility, duty and integrity and also very happily combined an alertness of mind and body.” - FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE ALEXANDER HAIG

Mike Krzyzewski ’69

“For here we train the men and women whose duty it is to defend the Republic, the men and women whose profession is watchfulness, whose skill is vigilance, whose calling is to guard the peace, but if need be, to fi ght and win.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN

“As I look back on my life, I’ll always revere the op-portunities that came along that brought about the choice I made to go to West Point. I just feel that it was fundamental in molding the fabric of my life. The experiences that I had at West Point, they were irreplaceable.” - ASTRONAUT EDWIN “BUZZ” ALDRIN

“West Point’s graduates have served America in many, many ways. Not only by leading troops into combat, but also by exploring frontiers, founding universities, laying out the railroads, building the Panama Canal, running corporations, serving in the Congress and The White House, and walking on the moon. Through our history, whenever duty called, the men and women of West Point have never failed us, and I speak for all Americans when I say, I know you never will.” - PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

“You have ahead of you the best of all professions. Being a leader is the best thing you can possibly be and you’re at a school that will make you the best possible leader. West Point is the ring. It’s the foun-dation of everything I have done.” - HEAD COACH MIKE KRZYZEWSKI

“In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes ... Duty -- Honor -- Country. Today marks my fi nal roll call with you. But I want you to know, when I cross the river, my last conscious thoughts will be of The Corps ... and The Corps ... and The Corps ...” - GENERAL DOUGLAS MacARTHUR

“This nation is grateful that four years ago every man and woman graduating today made a life-changing decision. You left the comforts and famil-iar surroundings of civilian life, and devoted your-selves to one of the noblest professions in a free country--the profession of arms.” - FORMER VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY

ROBERT E. LEE ’29 The Academy’s ninth Superintendent (1852-55), Lee was a model cadet during his four years at West Point. He graduated second in his class and never earned a single demerit during his four years at the Academy. At the beginning of the Civil War, he was se-lected to serve as Commanding Gen-eral of the Army, but instead resigned his commission and was named Gen-eral-In-Chief of the Confederate Army from 1861 to 1865. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant (USMA 1843), at Appomattox Court House, Va., ended the Civil War. Fort Lee, Va., was named in his honor.

ULYSSES S. GRANT ’43 Grant distinguished himself during the Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863; his victory secured control of the Mississippi River for the Union. President Abe Lincoln later appointed him Commanding General of the Army in March 1864. On April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Va., Robert E. Lee (USMA 1829) surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to him, end-ing the Civil War. Grant later served as the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877. Today, his image graces the $50 bill.

Since Kevin Anderson was introduced as Ar-my’s Director of Athletics on Dec. 13, 2004, West Point’s intercollegiate athletic program has enjoyed immense success both on and off the “fi elds of friendly strife.” Boasting more than two decades of leadership and experience, Anderson departed his post as ex-ecutive associate athletic director at Oregon State University to accept the challenge of re-invigorating Army’s proud athletic program. The veteran administrator has played a large role in accomplishing that goal during his fi ve years along the banks of the Hudson. In that time, Army has sent 20 intercollegiate athletic teams to the NCAAs, captured its fi rst National Championship in more than 50 years, witnessed the revitalization of its hockey and men’s basketball programs, and ex-perienced unparalleled success in several others, such as baseball, women’s volleyball, women’s ten-nis and women’s basketball. This past fall, Army’s women’s volleyball team became West Point’s 10th different intercollegiate program to advance to the NCAAs under Anderson’s watch, while the baseball team reached a regional fi nal for the fi rst time in school history last spring. During the 2004-05 academic year, Anderson’s fi rst at West Point, Army’s athletic program won a National Championship in rifl e, sent a record seven teams to postseason appearances, defeated Navy in the year-long series for the fi rst time since 1978 and forged an overall winning percentage of .582. It marked Army’s fi nest overall performance in more than a decade. Seventeen of Army’s 25 intercollegiate teams carved records of .500 or better that year as the Black Knights put forth their highest year-long win-ning percentage since a .604 effort in 1993-94. In addition, Army reclaimed the Patriot League’s Presidents’ Cup—signifying the league’s all-sports champion—for the fi rst time since 1997. Army sent its rifl e, gymnastics, baseball, la-crosse, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and golf squads to postseason play, surpassing the previous standard of six teams in NCAA action. Six of Army’s eight spring teams won Patriot League titles that year. Army’s success opposite Navy snapped a 27-year drought in the all-sports rivalry, giving the Black Knights their fi rst series win over Navy since going 9-8-1 (.528) in 1977-78.

Additionally, four Army teams earned NCAA Tournament appearances in 2005-06, highlighted by the women’s basketball team, which earned its fi rst postseason berth at the Division I level. In 2006-07, Anderson presided over a resurgence of Army’s men’s basketball and hockey programs, as well as the continued success of the Black Knights’ women’s basketball squad, which set a single sea-son school record for victories at the Division I level. All three programs fl ourished again the fol-lowing year with hockey earning its fi rst Atlantic Hockey Association regular-season crown and the men’s basketball squad advancing in the Patriot League postseason for the second straight year, a fi rst since 1995 and 1996. Additionally, a young Black Knights’ baseball team captured its third regular season Patriot League championship in fi ve years and Army’s women’s tennis team earned its fourth consecutive conference championship and accompanying NCAA berth. Three Army teams traveled to the NCAAs last season, headlined by the women’s soccer and baseball squads. The Black Knights’ baseball team gained national attention by reaching the fi nals of the Austin Regional and nearly upsetting national top seed and NCAA runnerup Texas in a “champi-onship” game. Women’s soccer, meanwhile, made its fi rst trip. Off the fi eld, construction of the Foley Athletic Center, a spacious indoor practice facility for foot-ball, was completed in the winter of 2007. During Anderson’s time at West Point, Randall Hall, which houses offi ces, locker rooms and team rooms for men’s and women’s basketball, as well as luxury suites that overlook historic Michie Stadium, was also unveiled. Army’s fabled football home re-ceived additional state-of-the-art amenities with the installation of a new FieldTurf playing surface and a sparkling 30-foot-by-50-foot scoreboard, complete with a 20-foot-by-50-foot high-defi nition video board. In the last year alone, Anderson led the search-es that resulted in the hiring of Rich Ellerson as Army’s 36th head football coach, Zach Spiker as the Black Knights’ 30th men’s basketball mentor and Russell Payne as Army’s 11th men’s soccer fi eld boss. In Ellerson’s fi rst season, Army fell one win shy of earning its fi rst postseason bowl bid in 13 years last fall. Anderson was also instrumental in negotiating a broadcast extension with CBS Sports to televise the Army-Navy football game through 2018, a new national television deal with CBS College Sports Network for Army’s football program, separate con-tracts with three different cities to serve as host for future Army-Navy games, and a landmark agree-ment with the New York Yankees that will result in Army’s football team playing one game in each of the next six seasons at Yankee Stadium. As part of the deal, Army will battle Notre Dame later this fall in the fi rst college football game to be played at the Yankees’ majestic new home. In the last year alone, Anderson has secured postseason bowl tie-ins for Army’s football team for each of the next four years. Prior to his most recent hectic stretch, An-derson brokered major broadcast agreements for Army’s football program with ESPN and WABC Ra-dio (770-AM), as well as aligning the Black Knights’ athletics teams with Nike, as part of a signifi cant

apparel deal, and Learfi eld Sports Properties. The Army “A” Club has continued to fl ourish under An-derson’s leadership, establishing school records for annual giving during each of his fi ve years at the Academy. During his time at Oregon State, Anderson di-rected the athletic department’s external opera-tions, to include marketing and promotions, sports information, ticket operations and the Beaver Ath-letic Student Fund. He also oversaw Oregon State’s highly successful football, men’s basketball and baseball programs, leading the search and recruit-ment for head football coach Mike Riley. Anderson, who ranks as the fi rst African-Amer-ican to hold the position of director of athletics at West Point, was a member of an OSU management staff that balanced the athletic department’s bud-get for the fi rst time in nearly 15 years. Anderson took residence in Corvallis, Ore., in December 2002 after serving as executive associ-ate athletic director for external affairs at the Uni-versity of California. He joined the California staff in November 1997 as assistant athletic director for an-nual programs and was promoted to associate ath-letic director for development, tickets and the Bears’ baseball team in March 1999. Before accepting his position with the Golden Bears, Anderson served as area executive director of the YMCA of the East Bay from 1995 to 1997. He was director of annual giving with Stanford Univer-sity’s athletic department from 1993 to 1995. Anderson graduated from San Francisco State University in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in politi-cal science. He is also a 1981 graduate of the Xerox Corporation’s New Manager School and the Xerox Marketing School in 1986. He completed the execu-tive management program at the Sports Manage-ment Institute in 1995. In addition to his duties at West Point, Anderson has served as chairman for the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division I-A Athletic Directors McClendon Minority Scholar-ship Steering Committee and is a member of the NCAA’s Basketball Academic Enhancement Group. He also serves as chairman of the Division I Men’s Basketball Issues Committee and was elected Third Vice President of NACDA this past June. Kevin and his wife, Moira, have four children: daughters, Olivia and Michaela; and sons, Kevin Jr. and Chauncey.

The Center for Enhanced Performance (CEP) is a state-of-the-art facility committed to developing the full potential of each cadet through comprehensive mental toughness and academic skills training. It offers three programs designed to maximize West Point cadet performance, as well as export these critical mental skills to the United States Army at large. The Performance Enhancement Program (PEP) is the nation’s most comprehensive training program for learning, practicing and mastering the intangible mental skills that underlie human performance; confi dence despite setbacks, concentration amidst distractions, and composure under stress. Cadets participate in individual training sessions during free periods in their academic schedule, learning, and then applying the skills of imagery, attention control, energy management, and goal setting. Biofeedback training allows cadets to learn crucial self-regulation techniques, and sophisticated audio and video simulations of game and practice situations are used to facilitate mental rehearsal of specifi c physical, academic, or military skills. These training methods are derived from the fi eld of applied sport psychology, where they are employed in the training of professional and Olympic athletes, but apply to every other area of human performance. The Academic Excellence Program provides instruction in academic support skills designed to help cadets succeed in the classroom. Three classes are offered throughout the academic year: 1) the Student Success Course, a 20 lesson course combining the study skills of textbook marking, note taking, test preparation and time management, with the mental skills such as attention control, confi dence building, stress and energy management; 2) Reading Effi ciency, a 10 lesson course designed to improve reading speed and comprehension through drill and utilization of modern computer technologies; and 3) Information Literacy and Critical Thinking, a 20-lesson course taught jointly with the USMA Library staff created to enhance problem-solving skills and critically read and evaluate research. The CEP Tutor Program organizes fi nal exam preparation sessions at the end of each semester, and cadet tutors for nearly every academic course are available throughout the year. Most recently the CEP created the Military Enhancement Program (MEP), designed to apply the skills and techniques taught by the Performance Enhancement Program within a military context. MEP Training is now nested throughout the 47 months of the West Point experience. These programs are unique aids to the every member of the Corps of Cadets who seeks to achieve their full potential in academics, athletics and military training. The Center for Enhanced Performance is a powerful demonstration of the Academy’s commitment to provide the fi nest training available to the future leaders of the nation.

After spending two years as an assistant coach at West Point, Director of Athletics Kevin Anderson announced the promotion of Michelle DePolo to head softball coach on April 1, 2009. The eighth head coach in Army Softball history, DePolo assumed her new role in July when he took over the program from 19-year head coach Jim Flowers, who retired at the conclusion of the 2009 season, DePolo is the

program’s fi rst female head coach since moving to Division I in 1991. “In her two years as an assistant coach at West Point, Michelle has shown the commitment, enthusiasm, and vision necessary to lead the softball program,” Anderson said. “Her knowledge of the game, professionalism, and sincere appreciation for the West Point experience made her the clear choice.” Prior to her current position, DePolo had overseen the Black Knights’ pitching staff and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. In her fi rst season, she mentored Veronica Barth, a fi rst-team All-Patriot League selection as a utility player, and was instrumental in recruiting the present sophomore that has three of Army’s top four hitters and the team’s leaders in home runs, RBI, slugging percentage, on-base percentage and stolen bases. “I am very humbled and appreciative for the opportunity that Mr. Anderson and West Point have provided me; as well as the unwavering support of Coach Flowers since the day I arrived here as his assistant,” DePolo said. “I look forward to being a steward of the program and continuing a winning tradition combined with the high moral standards deeply rooted within West Point and the Army Softball program. It is truly a privilege and honor to be entrusted by this prestigious institution to aid in the development of the future leaders of this country.” DePolo was the head softball coach at the U.S. Military Academy Prep School in 2004. She led the squad to its best record in program history, including a pair of shutout victories over the defending junior college national champion. A six-year coaching veteran, DePolo also worked on the coaching staffs at Georgian Court University (2004-05), her alma mater, Smith College (2005-06) and Amherst College (2006-07). She has spent the majority of her career working with pitchers and catchers. “I cannot think of any place I would rather be at this point in my career than West Point,” DePolo said.

STACY STACY BIRK First Season

The newest member of fi rst-year coach Michelle DePolo’s coaching staff is Stacy Birk who joined the Black Knights in February as the pitching coach. Birk brings an impressive resume both at the collegiate and professional ranks. After spending three years pitching for the Philadelphia

Force of the National Professional League, she is coming off a brief stint in the collegiate ranks as a pitching coach for Lake Land Community College in Mattoon, Ill., during the fall. Birk authored a record-setting career at Illinois State where she shined in the circle and at the plate earning All-Missouri Valley Conference honors all four years playing two of those season alonside Kate Stake, a 2005 graduate, who was DePolo’s fi rst hire. While Stake’s bat ignited the Redbirds’ offense, Birk led the team in every pitching category her fi rst year and her performance earned her Missouri Valley Rookie of the Year along with fi rst team honors. As a sophomore, Birk was named to the MVC honor roll after leading the team in wins, complete games, shutouts and strikeouts, while earning fi rst team honors her junior and senior years. The Huntington Beach, Calif., native closed out her college career ranked fi rst in wins (77), saves (8), shutouts (27), appearances (162), games started (113), batters faced (3,131) and innings pitched (742.2), while listing second in strikeouts (561) and third in complete games (72) – three off the school record. She was the pitcher of record in Illinois State’s fi rst NCAA Tournament win since 2001 as a junior. On the single season charts Birk lists fi rst (4) and fourth (2) in saves, fi rst (48) and second (42) in appearances and fi fth in strikeouts (166). Just as intimidating at the plate, Birk closed out her career ranked fi fth in home runs (19) and walks (70). Just as profi cient in the classroom, Birk was a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selection along with being named a MVC First Team Scholar-Athlete as a senior. After graduating from Illinois State with a degree in Graphic Communications in 2007, Birk joined the professional ranks as a pitcher for the Philadelphia Force. Her fi rst win was a 3-2 decision over eventual NFP champion Washington. Birk posted a 3-6 record starting ten games that summer hurling 53.2 innings in the circle. She had three complete games and also drew playing time in left fi eld and as the designated player. In 2008 Birk went 0-1 with a 3.65 earned run average appearing in 23 innings, while this past summer registered a 3.84 ERA facing 81 batters over 17.1 innings. Birk will be involved in recruiting in Southern California.

KATE KATE STAKEFirst Season

The fi rst hire by newly-appoint coach Michelle DePolo is one of the new talents in the world of col-legiate softball in Kate Stake. A former standout at Illinois State with three years of collegiate coaching, Stake came to West Point from Eastern Illinois where she spent the last two years as a full-time assistant on the coaching

staff after serving as a graduate assistant her fi rst season (2006-07). While earning her master’s degree in athletic administration, Stake focused her attention working with the infi elders and hitters throughout her tenure with the Panthers and will continue in the same position at West Point along with recruiting. During her last two years at EIU, Stake helped develop second baseman Sarah Coppert and shortstop Megan Nelson into two of the top performers in program history. Coppert, an All-Ohio Valley Conference selection in 2008, went on to become just the third Panther in the OVC to record 20 RBIs, 20 runs scored and 20 stolen bases in a season. Nelson led the team that year in batting (.335) and is just the third player in program history to reach the 30-steal plateau. EIU led the conference that year in stolen bases with 85, the third highest total in school history to rank 16th among the nation’s leaders. Stake’s fi rst year with the Panthers in 2007 saw the team post a .970 fi eld-ing percentage on the homefront, turn 15 double plays along with breaking the school record for doubles (78). During her collegiate career, the 2005 graduate of Illinois State starred on the diamond as well as in the classroom to earn a pair of All-America honors along with writing her name into the NCAA Division I record books before gradu-ating cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in English Education. Named an Academic All-American by the National Fastpitch Coaches As-sociation, Stake was also tabbed a second team Easton All-American and was named the Illinois State University Female Scholar Athlete of the Year along with being selected to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Team. The native of Buffalo Grove, Ill.,was a four-time all-conference selection, earning fi rst team honors her junior and senior years, and was nominated for the MVC All-Centennial Team. A four-year starting second baseman for the Redbirds under former EIU coach Melinda Fisher, Stake ranked among the Redbirds’ all-time leaders in games started, hits, home runs, RBIs and total bases. She set a school stan-dard when she smashed three home runs against Loyola University- Chicago in totaling 13 total bases for the third highest single-game total in NCAA Division I history. Stake also authored the school hitting streak after collecting a hit in seven consecutive-at bats, along with listing fi fth in career hits (179) and third in runs batted in (105). Stake will be involved in recruiting in the Midwest Region.

COL. ALEXCOL. ALEX HEIDENBERG10th Season

Col. Alex Heidenberg enters his 10th season as a volunteer assistant coach during a successful run helping shaping Army’s fortunes as the team’s hitting and outfi eld coach after joining the program in 2001. Heidenberg was instrumental in the Black Knights’ record-setting 31 win-season in 2002 that took the team to Oklahoma for the NCAA Regional

Tournament after capturing the Patriot League title. Army went on to post its fi rst-ever win at that level following a 2-0 upset victory over Utah. The effort by Army’s coaches was rewarded as Heidenberg, along with former head coach Jim Flowers and assistants Michelle Gerdes and Rufus Phelps were tabbed as the 2002 NFCA Mid-Atlantic Regional Coaching Staff of the Year by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA). Heidenberg has made an impact in Army’s success in the fi eld and at the plate developing some of the top outfi elders and hitters in the Patriot League. The Black Knights recorded their top two batting averages in school history in 2004 and 2005. The 2005 team proved to be the hottest hitting team in the history of the program as the Black Knights batted .300 for the fi rst time with a .306 average that ranked 16th in the country, along with an Academy record 399 hits, 265 runs and 92 doubles. The two-baggers ranked No. 1 in the country per game (1.84), the second time in fi ve years that the Black Knights held that spot. Army ranked as high as 25th nationally in hitting in 2003, while its record-setting 25 double plays (0.51 per game) in 2004 ranked No. 2 in the nation followed by a seventh place (0.46) showing in 2005. Heidenberg’s outfi elders have consistently earned all-league honors, collecting 12 certifi cates, four fi rst-team selections and eight second-team citations. A 1983 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, Heidenberg served as the offi cer representative (1993-96) for the softball team in his fi rst assignment to West Point. Following that tour, Heidenberg headed to Georgia State University where he earned his PhD in Educational Research, Measurement & Statistics. Four years later (July ‘00), he returned to the U.S. Military Academy where he is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences. In January 2009 he was promoted to the rank of Colonel with the players in attendance at the ceremony along with his family and friends. He currently resides at West Point with his wife Rosa and daughters Sara (19) and Haley (17).

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

It is the dawn of a new day and age for the Army softball program with Michelle DePolo taking over head reins of the program following the retirement of 19-year coach Jim Flowers last spring. No stranger to Army, DePolo begins her third season along the banks of the Hudson after spending her fi rst two years as Flowers’ assistant. The youngest coach to head Army’s program and the fi rst woman mentor at the Division I level, DePolo has surrounded herself with the largest staff in the history of the program. She hired two of the fi nest young talents in pitching coach Stacy Birk and hitting coach Kate Stake with 10th-year volunteer coach Alex Heidenberg rounding out the staff. A returning cast of 17 letterwinners greeted DePolo in the fall with the largest group coming from a sophomore class (10) claiming four positional starters (three in the infi eld) and the majority of the pitching staff. The upperclassmen provide the remaining seven letterwinners, including last year’s starting battery, with the freshmen class rounding out the 21-team roster. Most important for DePolo and the Black Knights’ fortunes this spring will be the blending of upper class experience with the youth and talent of returning sophomores and incoming freshmen led by the leadership of co-captains Erin McClain and Jennae Tomlinson. With the year of experience and maturity to call upon, the Black Knights are knowledgeable in critical positions and loaded with talent, depth and versatility that DePolo and her staff will be looking to bring along one day at a time. Army will be sporting a different look with a new staff that closed out the fall very optimistic. The Black Knights lost just two starters, including all-league outfi elder Sarah Yates, from last year’s team that posted 21 wins during a rebuilding season. “Everyone worked hard and the fall went well,” said DePolo. “I saw signifi cant changes from the start of the season to the fi nish with the players getting use to a new regimen and new staff. Everyone is excited and has bought into what we are teaching. “The freshman class is small in number (three), but I am excited about them. They have a great attitude and work ethic and are tremendous contributors both on and off the fi eld. They love to play the game, are happy to be here and that permeates into every aspect of the program.” The starters will be challenged, but there won’t be too many new faces in the lineup keyed by the return of two of the Patriot League’s best in McClain, a fi rst-team all-league catcher, along with sophomore Reanna Johnson, a second team selection as an outfi elder. McClain, a two-time all-conference selection at two different positions, was also a Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) all-Northeast Region fi rst team selection last year. Army’s offensive attack returns last year’s top four hitters with sophomore Alexis AuBuchon batting a team-high .359 average stroking 55 hits and a .510 slugging percentage her fi rst season. McClain batted .315 with a team-high 11 doubles along with 25 RBI followed by the bats of Johnson, who hit just under .300, and Clara Navarro who batted .285 with a team-high 27 runs. The bulk of last year’s pitching staff that accounted for 19 of the Black Knights’ 21 wins returns with senior Jessi Muckelroy and sophomore Shawna Bleyl combing for 19 of those wins and 73 percent of the innings pitched.

DePolo expects to be in a position to show steady improvement and be competitive in each game this spring. Her objective is to take it one day at a time without putting too much emphasis on any one opponent. A key goal for the program is for Army to earn its way back to a Patriot League Tournament berth after falling one game shy of qualifying last year. “The team is way ahead of where it was this time last year,” said DePolo. “We are looking forward to facing competition and then returning to the practice fi eld where the real work is done. “Everyone is important, every game is important and every inning is important,” noted DePolo. “We will take it one game at a time, one inning at a time and one pitch at a time, and if we do the work and let the chips fall where they may, I believe we are going to be okay.”

OUTFIELD Army’s outfi eld is loaded with experience and proven talent in all three of the positions with the return of senior Cassie Ellington in right fi eld and sophomore Reanna Johnson, an all-conference pick last year, who was shifted to center fi eld with the graduation of league all-star Sarah Yates. Senior co-captain Jennae Tomlinson and junior Jill Galloway have been in the starting rotation in the corners and will be battling for playing time. They will be challenged by sophomores Natalia Gruenbaum and Jen Parsons and newcomer Tiffany Held. A regular in right fi eld since her freshman year, Ellington drew 39 starts in 46 appearances last year. She played errorless ball in 46 chances and has committed just 11 miscues in 246 chances over the past three years. Johnson drew the starting nod in 36 games in left fi eld last year but was shifted to center fi eld in the fall. She is the ideal player to take over the spot with speed to cover both corners complemented by a solid arm. Offensively, she carries a large bat ranking third last year with a .298 average. As the team co-captain, Tomlinson brings leadership and a settling infl uence in the outfi eld, but will be pressed to retain a starting role. Galloway sat our last spring following surgery and is fully recovered and looking to pick up where she left off her freshman year when she hit .250. Solid defensively, she is capable of playing either corner along with providing offensive spark. Gruenbaum is a solid defender who fi lled in as a reserve last year and continues to improve. She is productive as a slapper who can handle the bunt game as well as the hit-and-run. Parsons. playing her fi rst year, is a scrappy player at the plate and showed good range during fall ball. Held, coming off an outstanding high school career as a two-time all-state player from Indiana, impressed the staff in the fall with her play and power at the plate. “The outfi eld is where we have the most experience,” noted the rookie coach. “We have a nice combination of strong arms and decent speed. The outfi eld has been working tirelessly on their defense all year long as well as getting creative at the plate.”

2010 SEASON OUTLOOK

sophomore class, and six experienced players and a pair of talented freshman that will press for playing time. Sophomore Alexis AuBuchon returns at fi rst base after coming off an impressive freshman year as the team’s offensive spark leading the Black Knights. She batted .359 with 55 hits, drove in 23 runs, scored 18 runs along with 78 total bases for a .510 slugging percentage hitting in the No. 3 spot in the lineup. AuBuchon could also shift to the outfi eld, and that would move freshman Jennifer Handy to fi rst base after being a top contender in the fall where she showed consistency in the fi eld and at the plate. Returning to take care of the left side of the infi eld is third baseman Rachael Duval, who led Army in home runs (six) and runs batted in (26) her rookie season. A talented player, her defensive skills and strong arm make her a prime candidate for that spot again. She could also shift to middle infi eld and see playing time at the shortstop vacancy or backing up second base. Duval is also the chief backup to all-league catcher Erin McClain following a strong fall performance. Sophomore Clara Navarro drew 45 starts at second base last year with junior Jessica Garcia competing hard after losing the lead role. A dangerous runner on the bases, Navarro, who could be shifted to fi ll in at shortstop, led the team in runs scored last year (27) batting .285 with an on-base percentage of .365 as the leadoff hitter in 39 games. Freshman Alex Reynolds will be fi ghting for both shortstop and second base duties following an impressive showing during the fall. “Not matter what, our infi eld is going to be very young,” added DePolo. “I like the competition I have seen thus far; and overall I am very pleased with every position.”

CATCHERS Senior co-captain Erin McClain, a fi rst team all-conference pick and all-region selection at catcher last year, will shoulder primary duties once again. Shifted to catcher last year after spending her fi rst two years at third base where she was all-league pick her freshman year, McClain’s strong knowledge of the pitchers and opponents helped guide a young staff last year. A strong arm and quick release makes it tough to steal on McClain, who ranks the fi nest hitters in Army history. She was a top run producer last year knocking in 25 runs and scoring 15 times, while her team-high 11 doubles ranked fourth in the conference and boosted her career total to 24 in breaking into the school’s Top 10 list. Rachel Duval, who stepped into the third base vacancy last year when McClain shifted to catcher, shared duties in the fall with freshman Tiffany Held behind the dish. Both are solid prospects with quickness and a good arm which bodes well for the future. Held is coming off an outstanding high school career as a two-time Indiana all-state player. A power-hitting lefty, she gives Army an option at the plate. Duval, who drew starts catching last year, registered a team-high six home runs with 26 RBI and ranked second in runs scored (20) hitting .240 drawing starts in all 55 games. “Catching is and will continue to be one of our stronger positions. I feel very confi dent putting any of our catchers in any game,” continued DePolo. “The fact that they are all solid defenders as well as an integral part of the lineup with different classes makes the outlook even better.

PITCHING Army’s pitching staff did an about face last year with DePolo at the helm as the pitching coach. The Black Knights entered 2009 with only one pitcher with collegiate experience and no one on the staff had pitched a complete game. Following a solid spring and fall, pitching ranks among the brightest spots for 2010 with an experienced staff led by senior Jessi Muckelroy and sophomores Shawna Bleyl, Beverly Nordin and Bonnie DeAntona. “We don’t have a top pitcher,” explained DePolo, who recently hired Stacy Birk to take over as the pitching coach, “but we are looking for everyone on the staff to contribute and to complement one another. Each has their own distinct pitching style and go-to-pitches.” Muckelroy is the senior member of the staff with 73 appearances. She came into her own last year posting a team and season-high 10 wins (fi ve via shutout), which ranks tied for 10th on Army’s single-season chart. She has good instincts in the circle and excellent control of the corners. Muckelroy and Bleyl drew the bulk of duty drawing starts in 25 and 18 games, respectively, with Nordin drawing the lead role in 10 while DeAntona appeared in fi ve games. Bleyl will once again shoulder a key role in the starting rotation and relief duties. She hits her spots well with the ability to come into a game as a stopper

in the late innings, ranking among the league’s leader in saves (2). She posted a 3.06 ERA recording four wins and both saves in conference games, while overall showing a 3.64 ERA logging 129 innings in the circle. Bleyl had one of the best bats in the fall and could draw time in the lineup both as a pitcher and utility player. Nordin is coming off a solid fall pitching successfully in different situations after working through mechanical issues. She is valuable both as a starter and reliever after getting acclimated to the collegiate level last year appearing in 16 games with 10 starts posting a 2-6 record, to include a shutout, over 58 innings in the circle. DeAntona continued to make progress in the fall and gives Army qualify depth. She pitched just 9.1 innings as a freshman last year, but her role should increase this spring.

LINEUP Army has solid batting throughout the lineup but there are questionable areas that DePolo is working on addressing. “We have a large roster, and I am trying to use everyone in some form whether it be running or pinch hitting or whatever the situation calls for,” explains the rookie coach. “Leadoff is still questionable but we have a lot of solid bats with a mixture of power and consistency.”

Clara Navarro (.285, 27 runs scored) was the leadoff 39 times last year; Reanna Johnson (.298, 12 runs scored) was second 22 times; Alexis AuBuchon (.359, 18 runs scored, 23 RBI) was third with Angela Deger (.246, 11 RBI) batting cleanup as the DP followed by Erin McClain (.314, 25 RBI) fi fth and Rachael Duval (.240, 20 runs scored, 26 RBI) sixth. Sophomores Bethany Houdeshelland Brittney Boehrer could also draw duty as DPs or as pinch hitters.

SCHEDULE Army opens its 32nd season as a varsity sport and fi rst with DePolo at the helm when the Black Knights journey to Fairfax, Va., for the George Mason Invitational (Feb. 27-28). It is ironic that her season debut originally scheduled Feb. 13-14 at the First Pitch Classic in Atlanta, Ga., was cancelled because of snow. “Our schedule is very well balanced and though we were not able to be tested fi rst by Georgia State, the Patriot Classic at George Mason (Feb. 27-28) is just as challenging. We will be non-stop after that tournament and that was the point of adding it so that we didn’t have a long hiatus.” Playing its fi rst eight games on the tournament circuit with the fi rst at George Mason in Fairfax, Va., (Feb. 27-28), Army opens March in Washington, D.C., as part of the four-team fi eld at the annual Colonial Classic hosted by George Washington University. Army fans will be able to get a sneak preview of the team prior to its annual trek to Florida when the Black Knights make their home debut (Army Softball Complex) hosting Siena in a non-league twinbill March 11. The team will spend its spring break at the Rebel Games in Florida starting March 15 to the 20th. “Six of the eight teams we play in Florida are from the Northeast,” notes DePolo, who spent the past two years as an assistant on Army’s staff. “We are familiar with those teams along with Wisconsin-Green Bay, who we play every year, and that should prove to our advantage.” After returning home, the Black Knights host Rider in a doubleheader (March 28) and visit FDU (March 31) before opening its Patriot League schedule. Army just missed earning a berth to the four-team tournament fi eld last year and that is a key goal for DePolo and her squad. “The league tournament has been a dogfi ght the past few years for the third, fourth and fi fth spots with the last inning and the last pitch deciding who earns a berth,” states DePolo. “We want to prepare ourselves as best as possible by knowing ourselves, our strengths and what we are capable of. We want to get ahead early, be consistent and take it one game at a time.” Twelve of Army’s 20-game home schedule are league matches with the Black Knights playing their fi rst three series at home. Army hosts Lafayette, who reached the tournament fi nals last year, the opening weekend of competition (April 3-4) followed by defending champion Lehigh (April 10-11) along with Holy Cross (April 17-18). The Black Knights’ fi rst league road trip takes them to Hamilton, N.Y., against rival Colgate (April 24-25), while mixed in between conference games are a pair of non-league home doubleheaders against Iona and Marist (April 7 and 29) along with road trips to Rutgers (April 15) and Temple (April 20). The Black Knights close out their league slate at Bucknell the fi rst weekend in May (1-2) and are hoping at that point to have a conference berth in hand with the tournament slated for May 13-15 at the home of the highest seed.

In its second decade of combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport confer-ence in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Ford-ham and Georgetown as associate members.

These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have, and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked fi rst each year among all Division I confer-ences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The League fi nished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 76 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Perfor-mance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The Patriot League’s mission is simple, to provide successful competitive athletic experi-ences while maintaining high academic standards, and to prepare its student-athletes to be leaders in society. During the 2008-09 academic year, Patriot League student-athletes and teams accom-plished the following:

• 14 student-athletes earned ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. Sixty-one student-athletes were recognized as ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District recipients, with 45 on the First Team.

• Bucknell won its 15th overall and women’s Patriot League Presidents’ Cup trophy, while Army won the men’s trophy for the fi rst time since 2005.

• Holy Cross men’s soccer senior Jerry Dickinson was awarded a Fulbright Grant to work and study in South Africa.

• Navy’s Kelly Zahalka earned her third Academic All-America selection from CoSIDA, and was also named to the USA Today First-Team All-Academic squad. She also earned both a Truman and Marshall Scholarship.

• Navy’s Lizzie Barnes was one of 58 student-athletes nationally to receive an NCAA Post-graduate Scholarship and was also a First Team All-Senior All-America selection.

• Bucknell’s Andrew Cohen set a record with a score of 208 at the Patriot League Golf Championship, and was named Golf World’s College Player of the Week for his effort.

• Army’s Ben Koenigsfeld became the fi rst baseball student-athlete to earn a pair of First-Team All-League honors in the same season.

• The Lehigh women’s basketball team was one of 14 NCAA Tournament participants to record a perfect graduation rate.

•Army men’s soccer goalkeeper A.J. Glubzinski was a First-Team All-Senior All-America se-lection and Lowe’s Senior CLASS award fi nalist.

• American men’s basketball senior Garrison Carr became the second player to win back-to-back Tournament Most Valuable Player honors, and set a league record with 302 career three-pointers.

• Navy’s Amy Watson competed in the NCAA Cross Country Championship.

• Navy’s Erica Ziel became the fourth female student-athlete to earn the Patriot League Scholar-Athlete award in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field in the same academic year.

• Twelve Patriot League student-athletes received Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars awards.• Bucknell rowing senior Page Kannor, Army baseball sophomore Kevin McKague and Le-high softball senior Lisa Sweeney each appeared in Sports Illustrated.

• American men’s basketball senior Derrick Mercer became the fi rst player in league history to fi nish his career with at least 1,200 points and 500 assists, and was named an honorable mention Associated Press All-American.

The name Colleen McCabe (West Point ’91) is synonymous with Army softball. Considered the fi n-est hurler ever to have toiled for Army’s softball pro-gram, Colleen McCabe still holds four career pitch-ing records at West Point. She is the Black Knights’ all-time leader in strikeouts (705), innings pitched (750.1), wins (83) and earned run average (0.80). In addition, fi ve seasonal standards she es-tablished remain untouched; including wins (29),

innings pitched (247), strikeouts (236), winning percentage (.805), and earned run average (0.53). McCabe’s arrival in 1988 heralded the onset of the most prolifi c four-year period in Army’s women’s soft-ball program’s history.

HALL OF FAMEHALL OF FAME

While Colleen McCabe (Hall of Fame Class of 2006) is considered the fi nest pitcher in Army soft-ball history, NickI Robbins ranks as the fi nest offen-sive performer. The 2002 West Point graduate was among the most recent cadet-athletes to earn Hall of Fame recognition and her exploits on the softball fi eld are the reasons why. Robbins was a three-time Patriot League Player of the Year, four-time Patriot League fi rst team all-star, four-time fi rst team Mid-Atlantic Re-gion all-star, 2002 Most Valuable Player of the Patriot League Tournament and a two-time ECAC fi rst team all-star. She led the country in doubles per game in 2001 (0.47), listed sixth in batting, 21st in slug-ging percentage and ranked as the 15th tough-est player to strike out. Robbins also ranked nationally in batting and doubles per game her senior season. The Army outfi elder closed out her career listed fi rst in home runs (17), total bases (363), hits (230), walks (63), batting average (.422), RBI (117), doubles (56), games played (179) and at-bats (545) while ranking second in runs scored (113) and triples (13). She still holds the re-cords for batting average, runs batted in, doubles, total bases and walks. Robbins was part of the two NCAA appearanc-es during her playing days. She served as team cap-tain during her senior campaign leading the Black Knights to a second NCAA regional berth in three years and fi rst Division I victory in a 2-0 blanking of Utah at the Region 5 Tourna-

ment in Norman, Okla. Army’s fi rst-ever NCAA bid in 2000 was in the West Region in Seattle, Wash. Robbins was also a mem-ber of two Pa-triot League c h a m p i o n -ship teams (2000 and 2002).

Army softball laid down a solid foundation for building its own dynasty in the new millennium with a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in the fi rst three years. The Black Knights wrapped up the 2000 campaign with their fi rst-ever invitation to the NCAA Championships after winning the Patriot League title and its automatic bid. Army drew one of the toughest regional assignments in the country, traveling to Seattle, Wash., to take on the No. 1 ranked Washington Huskies in the West Region. Sixth-seeded Army battled valiantly, but a three-run homer in the bottom of the third inning powered the Huskies to a 5-0 victory over the Black Knights in the program’s fi rst NCAA game. Playing error-free ball, Army threatened in the top of the fi fth inning when Chrissy O’Hara ripped a single down the right fi eld line and advanced to second on a groundout. She was stranded at third after advancing on an illegal pitch. Army threw a scare at No. 5-seed Tennessee-Chattanooga in a losers’ bracket game that went into extra innings before suffering a heart-wrenching 6-4 loss in nine innings. The Black Knights took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second, keyed by Jen Knowlden’s double off the left fi eld wall. Knowlden advanced to third on a sacrifi ce bunt and raced home on an error for Army’s fi rst run in an NCAA game. The Lady Mocs rallied with three runs in the top of the third to pull ahead 3-1. Army cut the defi cit to one in the bottom of the fourth on Knowlden’s solo homer, then tied the game in the sixth on Bianca Brito’s RBI double. The Lady Mocs pulled ahead 4-3 in the top of the eighth, but the Black Knights tied it in the bottom of that frame on Nicki Robbins’ home run. UTC broke the game open with two runs in the top of the ninth and Army appeared poised to make a run in the home half, but a double play ended the game and season for the Black Knights. Knowlden, who was 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs against UTC, was named to the West Region all-tournament team. Two years later, another Patriot League title catapulted the Black Knights once again into the NCAA Tournament. Army’s second trip to the Regionals took them to Norman, Okla., as the No. 6 seed in Region 5. Army fell to top-seeded Texas, 4-0, in the opening round at the Region 5 Tournament. The Black Knights rebounded in the losers’ bracket with a 2-0 upset over Utah for their fi rst-ever NCAA win. Shauna Evans threw a three-hit shutout, with Nicki Robbins and Lisa Huntington singling and doubling home Army’s two runs. The Black Knights put together another stellar effort in their next game in the double-elimination tournament, but their rally fell short in going down in a 2-0 elimination loss to Arkansas (see pages 57 and 58 for boxscores of all fi ve of Army’s NCAA games).

2002 NCAA TOURNAMENT RECAP

Army’s second trip to the NCAA Regionals in three years resulted in the fi rst-ever softball win in Black Knight history and just the second by a Patriot League school. It was also Army’s fi rst NCAA women’s tournament win at the Division I level. Earning a trip to the Midwest and the Region 5 Tournament in Norman, Okla., the sixth-seeded Black Knights capped a 31-19-1 season with a 2-0 elimination-game defeat of No. 5 Utah before bowing out of the tourney with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of No. 4 Arkansas. The underdog Black Knights battled evenly with top-seed Texas before ultimately losing 4-0 in the opening contest. Army kept the No. 10-ranked Longhorns, led by pitcher Cat Osterman, off the scoreboard for three innings before errors proved detrimental. Army rebounded behind Shauna Evans’ three-hit shutout along with timely late-inning hits that produced a pair of runs to chase Utah, the Mountain West Conference champions. The Black Knights’ bats came alive in the sixth inning with three hits coming from the top of the order in producing a pair of runs behind Nicki Robbins’ run-scoring single and Lisa Huntington’s RBI double. The Black Knights (31-19-1) threw a scare at Arkansas before being eliminated. After being held to just two hits over the fi rst six frames, Army led off the seventh with back-to-back singles by Robbins and Huntington. The Razorbacks nixed that threat to hold onto the 2-0 shutout victory. Army’s 31 season wins set a school record at the Division I level, breaking the former mark of 29 set in 2000. It is also the second-highest victory total in school history, trailing the mark of 33 set in 1988.

2000 NCAA TOURNAMENT RECAP

Army lived up to its billing as the preseason Patriot League favorite in its 12-10 defeat of Lehigh for the conference title and its fi rst-ever NCAA bid. The Black Knights’ initial trip to the NCAA Regionals took them out West to Seattle, Wash., where they drew the nation’s top-ranked team in Washington. Seeded sixth in the West Region, the Black Knights turned in an impressive showing despite losing 5-0 to a Huskies squad that had beaten 13 Top-25 teams by larger margins. Playing error-free ball, Army threatened in the top of the fi fth inning, but the runner was stranded at third. In the next round of the double-elimination tournament, Army battled No. 5 seed Tennessee-Chattanooga to nine innings before going down to a 6-4 defeat. The Black Knights jumped on the scoreboard fi rst when Jen Knowlden, who doubled, scored on an error. The Lady Mocs rallied with three runs in the top of the third for a 3-1 lead, but Army cut the defi cit to one in the home half of the fourth on Knowlden’s solo home run over the left centerfi eld fence, then tied the game in the sixth when Sarah Thornton scored on Bianca Brito’s sacrifi ce hit. After Chattanooga pulled ahead 4-3 in the top of the eighth, Army retied it in the home half on Nicki Robbins’ home run. UTC answered with a pair of runs in the top of the ninth, then turned a double play to nip Army’s rally. Knowlden, who boasted a 1.400 slugging percentage in going 3-for-5 in the tournament, including a 3-for-3 showing versus UTC, was among the 11 players named to the NCAA all-Regional fi eld.
