Jon Mark Hall was appointed to the position of director of Athletics in January 2002, after seven years as the assistant director.

Under his direction, USI was the 2003-04 GLVC All-Sports and Commissioner’s Cup winner and host of the 2004 and 2009 NCAA Division II Cross Country National Championships.

In addition to his duties as director of Athletics, Hall also is the chair of the NCAA Division II men’s and women’s tennis committee. He has

served on the Great Lakes Valley Conference Executive Committee and the NCAA II Great Lakes Regional women’s basketball committee.

Hall joined the USI Athletic Department in 1995 as an assistant athletic director and men’s tennis coach.

As the men’s tennis coach, Hall was named the GLVC Coach of the Year five times, directed the Screaming Eagles to four GLVC regular-season titles and GLVC Tournament crowns, and had a 123-47 record (.724).

During his final season as head coach, Hall led the Eagles to their third straight appearance in the NCAA II Tournament and their first victory

in the post-season. In 2000 and 2001, Hall put the Eagles on the national map with their first two invitations to the NCAA II Tournament in the 27-year history of the program.

Hall came to USI after his appointment at the University of South Carolina-Spartanburg as an assistant athletic director, where he was the NCAA compliance coordinator, oversaw the academic support service program for student athletes, and coordinated the Athletes Can Educate (ACE) program. He also assisted in fundraising and promotional activities.

The native of Murray, Kentucky, is a 1990 cum laude graduate of Murray State University, with a bachelor’s degree in business adminis-tration. While at MSU, Hall was on the tennis team for two seasons, earning Academic All-Ohio Valley Conference honors in 1987. Hall received his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio State University in 1992.

In 1998-99, he completed the Sports Management Institute Executive Program at the University of South Carolina and the University of Notre Dame.

Hall and his wife Patti reside in Evansville and have four sons, Nathan, Garland, Ty, and Owen, and daughter Mary Claire.

The University of Southern Indiana softball team is counting on a deep

and talented pitching staff as well as a competitive roster that features 21 players to lead it back to the top of the GLVC standings in 2011.

Meshing 11 returning players with 10 newcomers will be a big challenge for 10th-year Head Coach Sue Kunkle, who is the program’s all-time winningest coach with a 252-204-1 (.553) record.

Although the Screaming Eagles return seven position starters, including their entire infield and outfield, Kunkle believes the depth of her roster will provide plenty of competition at several positions.

Seven seniors, including All-GLVC first baseman Brittany DeWeese and All-GLVC second baseman Amanda Brendel, will lead the Eagles.

DeWeese, a second-team All-GLVC per-former in 2010, led the Eagles in batting average (.353), hits (49), doubles (11),

home runs (7), and RBIs (36) last season. She ranks fourth all-time at USI in home runs (17) and is eighth all-time at USI in RBIs (88).

A second-team All-GLVC honoree in 2009, Brendel battled through injury a year ago to post a .229 batting average with five home runs, 18 RBIs, and seven doubles.

Senior third baseman LeAnn Collins and senior shortstop Dani Finkelstein round out the Eagles’ returning starters in the infield, while senior outfielders Reva LeDune-Bourgasser and Heather Swarts formed two-thirds of the Eagles’ starters in the outfield in 2010.

Collins earned second-team All-GLVC honors a year ago after hitting .318 with nine doubles, five home runs, and 24 RBIs. Finkelstein, who hit .246 with three home runs and 10 RBIs a year ago, solidified USI’s middle infield a year ago with a .953 fielding percentage in 41 games.

LeDune-Bourgasser also earned second-

team All-GLVC honors in 2010 after hit-ting .308 with six home runs and 25 RBIs. Swarts started 29 games in the outfield last season—most coming in leftfield—and had a home run and four RBIs.

Senior utility player Dani Monks, who has played a majority of the last two seasons in the outfield, will compete for the Eagles’ starting catcher duties after spending the fall season behind the plate.

USI’s lone junior this season is third base-man/pitcher Kristen O’Haver, who could also serve as the Eagles’ designated player.

O’Haver played in 21 games during her sophomore season, hitting .267 with a home run and seven RBIs in 30 at-bats. She also appeared in the pitching circle five times, posting a 1-1 record with a 3.68 ERA.

Rounding out the Eagles’ returning play-ers are a trio of sophomores—outfielder Katherine Belsito, pitcher/infielder Stephanie Bittner, and outfielder Jessica McCullough.

Back Row (L-R): Head Coach Sue Kunkle, Kristen O’Haver, Dani Finkelstein, Heather Swarts, Reva LeDune-Bourgasser, Amanda Brendel, Dani Monks, Brittany DeWeese, Teri Newmaster, Assistant Coach Kim Dean, Assistant Coach Katie Berkemeier.

Middle Row (L-R): Katherine Belsito, Lindsay Kivett, Stephanie Bittner, Jessica McCullough, Brandy Wright, Kelsey Jankowski, Alison Nord.

Front Row (L-R): Kati O’Reilly, Kyla Gogel, Lauren Hatfield, Madeline Brink.

Eagles expect return to winning ways in 2011



• 2 0 1 1 S O F T B A L L O U T L O O K •

Belsito earned third-team All-GLVC hon-ors as a freshman last season after hitting .293 with six doubles and 10 RBIs as USI’s lead-off hitter.

Bittner became the Eagles’ go-to player in the pitching circle during her freshman season, posting a 7-3 record with a 2.38 ERA and a save after entering USI’s start-ing rotation in April.

McCullough, who saw limited action in her first year of collegiate softball, is expected to compete for a starting job in 2011.

USI’s list of newcomers includes three transfers and seven freshmen. Sophomore left-handed pitcher Brittany Ashton and sophomore right-handed pitcher/infielder Brandy Wright will compete for time inside the circle, while sophomore catcher/ utility player Kati O’Reilly will challenge for a spot behind the plate.

Ashton transferred from John A. Logan College where she went 13-2 with a 1.55 ERA in 2010. Wright, who sat out the 2010 season, went 4-2 with a 1.28 ERA as a freshman in 2009 at Lakeland College, while O’Reilly hit .346 with 28 RBIs dur-ing her freshman season at Heartland Community College.

USI’s freshman class includes pitcher Madeline Brink, utility player Kyla

Gogel, catcher Lauren Hatfield, pitcher/utility player Kelsey Jankowski, utility player Lindsay Kivett, outfielder Teri Newmaster, and utility player Alison Nord.

Brink graduated from Castle High School where she was a first-team All-State per-former after posting a 23-2 record in the circle as a senior. Gogel, who will compete for time in the middle infield, earned second-team All-State honors as a senior at Heritage Hills High School.

Hatfield hit .317 with 21 RBIs as a senior at Martinsville High School and is expected to see time behind the plate in 2011. Jankowski will see time in the circle and at first base during her freshman season after hitting .467 as a senior at Hanover Central High School.

Kivett, who graduated from Plainfield High School, will see time in the middle infield during her freshman season. Nord also will see time in the infield, while Newmaster will compete for time in the outfield.

Both Newmaster and Nord graduated from Tecumseh High School where they won a state championship in 2009. Newmaster earned second-team All-State honors as a senior in 2010, while Nord hit .364 as a junior in 2009.

USI begins the 2011 season February 18-20 when it competes at the UAH Charger Chillout in Decatur, Alabama. The Eagles begin Great Lakes Valley Conference play March 12 and open their 18-game home schedule March 20.

The GLVC Tournament returns to East Peoria, Illinois, and the EastSide Centre May 6-8, while the NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament is May 12-16.

The NCAA II Midwest Super-Regional is May 20-21, while the NCAA II Championship Series is May 26-30 in Salem, Virginia.

Senior second baseman Amanda Brendel (left), senior third baseman LeAnn Collins (middle), and senior first baseman Brittany DeWeese (right) help form one of the most experienced and talented infields in the region. Brendel earned All-GLVC honors as a sophomore in 2009 after hitting .307 with 10 doubles and seven home runs. Collins and DeWeese both earned All-GLVC honors in 2010 after combining for a .336 batting average, 13 home runs, and 61 RBIs.

Sue Kunkle has the University of Southern Indiana softball program looking to get back to the top of the GLVC standings and into the NCAAII Tournament as she enters her 10th season at the helm of the Screaming Eagles.

In 2010, Kunkle’s Eagles returned to theGLVC Tournament after a brief one-year hiatus by going 15-12 in league play during the regular-season.

Her squad finished the 2009 season on a strong note after starting the

year with 11 straight losses. Her team, however, showed how good they could be when they swept the eventual NCAA II Midwest Region champion University of Indianapolis to close out the campaign.

During the 2009 season, Kunkle’s squad defeated NCAA II Championship Series participant Le Moyne College and NCAA II Midwest sub-regional host Ashland University.

In 2008, Kunkle led USI to a 31-23 overall record, 14-10 GLVC, and had the Eagles on the brink of an NCAA II Tournament berth. Despite missing the NCAA post-season, Kunkle became USI’s all-time winningest softball coach and enters 2011 with a 252-204-1 (.553) overall record.

Three years ago, USI overcame injuries to post a 31-24-1 overall record, 13-10-1 GLVC, finishing fourth in the GLVC. Like most of Kunkle’s squads, the 2007 version had a strong finish as it went 9-4-1 in the final 14 games, just missing a berth in the NCAA II Great Lakes Region Tournament.

In 2006, Kunkle guided her Eagles into the NCAA II Great Lakes Region Tournament for the first time since 1998. Her squad went 39-18, 17-5 GLVC, finishing third in the NCAA II Great Lakes Region Tournament. Kunkle was named the GLVC Coach of the Year after USI’s second-place finish in the GLVC during the regular season.

Under Kunkle, the Eagles have consistently been at the top of the GLVC—one of the top conferences in Division II softball—during the last eight years. USI has posted one second-place finish in the GLVC Tournament as well as two third-place finishes and two fourth-place finishes in the league’s post-season tournament.

In addition, Kunkle has seen her student-athletes garner one All-America honor, 20 All-Region awards, and 37 All-GLVC accolades.

USI also has gotten the job done in the classroom under Kunkle, with her players earning 13 Academic All-District V awards and 69 Academic All-GLVC honors.

In 2005, Kunkle’s squad overcame a rough start before winning 30 of its last 42 games to finish with a 30-20 record, including a 10-8 mark in GLVC play. In the process of their strong finish, the Eagles set a school record for consecutive victories, stringing together 18 consecutive wins on the heels of an 0-8 start.

Despite an up-and-down conference season, Kunkle’s squad rebounded to win three straight elimination games in the GLVC Tournament before falling to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

In 2004, Kunkle’s Eagles battled some of the top teams in Division II and jumped out to an 8-0 start in conference play before finishing the campaign with a 26-24 overall record and an 11-7 mark in the GLVC.

Sue Kunkle, Head Coach




Kunkle directed the Eagles to a 27-18 overall record and a 13-7 mark in the GLVC in 2003. That squad produced six All-GLVC and four All-Great Lakes Region performers.

During her first season, Kunkle led the Eagles to a second-place finish in the GLVC Tournament and to within an eyelash of a berth in the NCAA Division II Tournament. Kunkle also set the USI record for wins by a first-year coach with a 31-18 overall record, 10-7 in the GLVC.

She also has coached two USA Athletes International squads. Kunkle led her first squad to a first-place finish in Holland in the summer of 2005 and her second squad to a third-place finish in Australia in 2006.

Kunkle took over the USI softball program in 2001 after a tenure at the University of Akron. In addition to her coaching duties, Kunkle teaches in the USI Physical Education Department.

Kunkle helped develop some of Akron’s best hurlers, including 1998 UA Female Athlete of the Year Shelby Howell (1995-1998). She was responsible for recruiting and coordinating the team’s travel arrangements as well as organizing the Zips camps and clinics, the Dugout Club, and alumni relations.

Kunkle began her coaching career as a volunteer assistant at California University of Pennsylvania. She gained a year of coaching experience at Morehead State University before being named assistant coach at Bethel Park.

A four-year starter at California, Kunkle became the winningest pitcher in school history with a career record of 54-12 from 1990-94. The Vulcans earned PSAC West Championships in Kunkle’s last three seasons, and were the conference’s overall champs in 1991. An All-Region pitcher as a junior, she earned All-Conference and All-Regional Tournament honors as a senior, while leading her team to a regional championship and California’s first-ever appearance in the Division II College World Series.

Kunkle, who resides in Evansville with her daughter Morgan, earned a bachelor’s degree in education from California-Pennsylvania in 1994. She received her master’s degree in sports science and coaching at Akron in 2001.

From 1993-96, the Eagles’ centerfielder racked up a .373 career batting average and finished as the Screaming Eagles’ all-time leader with 10 home runs and 108 RBIs. In 1994, Huse hit .397 with three home runs, 12 doubles, seven triples, and 24 RBIs.

In 1995, Huse earned second-team All-America honors when she hit .382 with two home runs, 13 doubles, a school-record 11 triples, and 42 RBIs.
