www.GeorgiaStateSports.com GAME PREVIEW The Georgia State softball team (4-4) travels to their first midweek game of the 2013 season to take on the Auburn Tigers (10-1) this Wednes- day, Feb. 20 in Auburn, Ala. The first pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. local time, or 6:00 p.m. ET. Auburn plays their home games at Jane B. Moore Field, which has a capacity of 1,500. The Tigers hold a 9-4 edge in the all-time series played between the two teams. This will mark the ninth consecutive season that the teams have faced one another, dating back to 2005. In the most recent meeting, No. 24 Auburn vis- ited Panthersville and beat Georgia State by a score of 9-1 in five innings. The game was one of only four times that GSU was run-ruled last season. The last time the Panthers traveled to Auburn was during the 2011 season, when GSU dropped a close contest 4-2 in Roger Kincaid’s first game as head coach. Georgia State’s most recent vic- tory over the Tigers came the season prior in 2010, with a 6-5 win in Panthersville. After opening the season with a 1-3 record at the Bulldog Kickoff Classic, Georgia State has climbed back to .500 with a 3-1 weekend at the Panther Invitational, which GSU hosted. The Panthers scored 48 runs and hit 11 home runs over the four-game stretch. Six of those homers came off the bat of senior Paige Nowacki, who also had 14 RBI during the weekend. The senior now has 26 home runs on her career, which is third-best all-time in school history. Nowacki is slugging a gaudy 1.040 on the year. Callie Alford added three homers of her own during the tournament. The Panthers’ catcher is second on the team in batting average with .407, right behind fellow sophomore Lauren Coleman at .409. The Panthers also stole nine bases during the Panther Invitational and remain a perfect 19-of- 19 in base swipes so far this season. Ashley Christy leads the team with four stolen bases, while both Audrey Mason and Taylor Anderson have three each. Kaitlyn Medlam (3-2) picked up two wins in the circle for the Panthers and leads the team with a 3.03 ERA. Freshman Katie Worley (1-1) also earned the first victory of her collegiate career against Northern Kentucky. Auburn has played all 11 contests of the sea- son at home after hosting the Plainsman Invita- tional and the Tiger Invitational in consecutive weekends. Their only loss of the year came against Chattanooga 6-4 in seven innings. Georgia State (4-4) vs. Auburn (10-1) February 20, 2013 Jane B.

Game PreviewThe Georgia State softball team (4-4) travels

to their first midweek game of the 2013 season to take on the Auburn Tigers (10-1) this Wednes-day, Feb. 20 in Auburn, Ala.

The first pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. local time, or 6:00 p.m. ET. Auburn plays their home games at Jane B. Moore Field, which has a capacity of 1,500.

The Tigers hold a 9-4 edge in the all-time series played between the two teams. This will mark the ninth consecutive season that the teams have faced one another, dating back to 2005.

In the most recent meeting, No. 24 Auburn vis-ited Panthersville and beat Georgia State by a score of 9-1 in five innings. The game was one of only four times that GSU was run-ruled last season.

The last time the Panthers traveled to Auburn was during the 2011 season, when GSU dropped a close contest 4-2 in Roger Kincaid’s first game as head coach. Georgia State’s most recent vic-tory over the Tigers came the season prior in 2010, with a 6-5 win in Panthersville.

2013 Georgia State Softball 3

noteworthy

BomBS awaySenior third baseman Paige Nowacki has

established herself as one of the most prolific home run hitters in Panther softball history.

With 26 homers on her career, Nowacki now sits third on the all-time school homer list. The McDonough, Ga. native needs only five home runs to tie the school record of 32 set by former-teammate Lauren Jones in 2011.

Last season, Nowacki knocked 10 balls over the fence, which tied her for fourth for the most homers in a single season in the record book.

BaSe thieveSThe Panthers are a perfect 19-for-19 in stolen

base attempts so far this year. Ashley Christy leads GSU with four steals, while both Audrey Mason and Taylor Anderson have three.

With 33 stolen bases in her career, senior Whitney Phillips is currently tied for eighth-most in program history. Phillips would need only five more base swipes to move into fifth on the list.

The second baseman led the team last season with seven stolen bases and her 16 in 2011 rank 10th on GSU’s single-season steals list.

PreSeaSon PollSGeorgia State was selected to finish 2nd in the

CAA, according to the preseason coaches’ poll. The Panthers tied with James Madison with 40 votes apiece. Defending champion Hofstra was unanimously picked to repeat their title in 2013.

Four Panthers were also predicted to finish on All-CAA teams, as named by College Sports Madness.

Lauren Coleman and Callie Alford were both selected to be on the first team, while Kaitlyn Medlam and Ashley Christy landed on the all-conference second team.

This comes as no surprise as all four were named to All-CAA teams during last season.

medlam earninG her eraJunior pitcher Kaitlyn Medlam is currently

fourth in the GSU career list with a 1.82 ERA. Over two seasons, Medlam has allowed only 51 earned runs during 195.2 innings pitched.

Medlam led the team in most pitching catego-ries last season, including ERA (1.99), wins (14), saves (4), strikeouts (98) and opponent’s batting average (.194).

The native of Bethlehem, Ga. has compiled a career record of 24-6 with eight saves. She was named the 2011 CAA Rookie of the Year and has been selected to the All-CAA second team twice.

many Great returnSThe Panthers return 15 letterwinners from the

2012 roster. These returning players contributed 83% of the games started last season, 86% of runs scored, 92% of hits and home runs, and 94% of the RBI produced by the Panther offense.

Conversely, GSU will have the task of replacing the three pitchers lost from last season. The Panthers only return 30% of innings pitched and 40% of strikeouts recorded in 2012.

Senior citizenSSimilar to last season, the Panthers will be

lead by a strong senior class again this year. The five members of the class of 2013 are Audrey Mason, Brenna Morrissey, Paige Nowacki, Whitney Phillips and Carrie Williams.

Between them, the seniors have made 537 starts for the Panthers over the course of 656 games played. Four of these outstanding student-athletes have played their entire four-year careers at Georgia State.

Morrissey transferred after a year at Assump-tion College in Massachusetts. Since then, she has started 95 games in 106 games played in three seasons.

StrenGth oF ScheduleThree of the opponents the Panthers will face

during the 2013 season are currently ranked in the USA Today/NFCA preseason Top-25 poll: No. 1 Alabama, No. 9 Georgia and No. 20 Hofstra . Three others (Virginia Tech, Mississippi State and South Alabama) are receiving votes.

Eight of the teams on GSU’s schedule played in the 2012 NCAA tournament, including the reigning national champion Crimson Tide. Three of these opponents are also defending confer-ence champions.

Georgia State played four ranked teams last season and managed a 2-2 record against these foes. The wins came against No. 2 Alabama and No. 25 Georgia Tech, while GSU lost to No. 8 Georgia and No. 24 Auburn.

roGer that, coachGeorgia State head coach Roger Kincaid

begins his third season in charge of the Panthers. During that time, Kincaid has compiled a record of 74-32, including a 28-12 mark in the CAA.

Kincaid took over on an interim basis after the retirement of longtime head coach Bob Heck in 2011. Kincaid immediately led the Panthers to a CAA conference title and the NCAA Tournament.

He was named the CAA Coach of the Year and hired as the program’s permanent head coach prior to the 2012 season.
