Joanna Hardin will make her caoching debut in 2015 with a talented McNeese squad that is coming off back-to-back Southland Conference titles.

It wasn’t a surprise when the SLC preseason polls picked McNeese to repeat as champions in one poll (SID) and second in the other (coaches).

Hardin has 13 letterwinners and six starters returning from a team that broke 16 and tied seven school record in 2014.

Hardin will have the league’s top two pitchers in junior Jamie Allred and sophomore Rachel Smith along with 2015 preseason picks in senior Lauren Langner, junior Emily Vincent, and sophomore Marisa Taunton.

Allred, the 2014 SLC “Pitcher of the Year” and an all-region pick, led the SLC and ranked 25th in the nation with a 1.57 ERA. She also ranked second in

the SLC last season with 203 strikeouts.Last season, Allred broke the McNeese season record with 27 wins (27-8) and shutouts with 10.

Smith was second in the SLC and ranked 31st in the nation with a 1.70 ERA. Smith posted an 8-5 record with 77 strikeouts in 94.2 innings and ended the season with four shutouts.

Langner will be moved to center field after playing left field the past three years.

In 2014, Langner led the team with 67 hits, four triples, 12 sacrifice bunts, and tied for a team high 11 doubles. She was second on the team with a .372 batting average, .421 on base percent, 10 stolen bases, 41 RBI, and ranked ith in the nation in toughest to strikeout.

Vincent will either pitch or play in the outfield again this season.

Last season, Vincent tied Langner for a team high 11 doubles ans was second on the team with 34 RBI and 22 walks. Vincent batted .294 with a .396 on base percent.

In the circle, Vincent, led the SLC and ranked 10th in the nation with five saves. She appeared in 19 games, posted a 4-3 record with 33 strikeouts in 46 innings.

Taunton tied for third on the team with a .354 batting average while producing the program’s third longest hitting streak of 13 games. She also picked up 36 hits, scored 25 runs along with 19 RBI.

The Cowgirls also return starters in Dakota Matiko, Taylor Goree, and Lakeyn Fontenot. Matiko will take over at first base after the graduation of Kim Kennedy. Goree will move from second base to shortstop replacing four-year starter Katie Roux. Fontenot will enter her second season as the Cowgirls’ starting third baseman.

The 2015 schedule is one of the toughest in recent years. McNeese will play 10 teams that took part in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. Of those 10 teams, four teams (Alabama, Oklahoma, UL-Lafayette, Baylor) made it to the World Series.

Seven teams on the Cowgirl schedule were ranked in the USA Today/NFCA Preseason Poll (#3 Alabama, #4 Oklahoma, #9 UL-Lafayette, #10 Baylor, #19 LSU, #23 South Alabama, and #25 DePaul). Hofstra also received votes in the preseason poll.

McNeese will take part in four regular season tournaments including its own Cowgirl Classic. The Cowgirls will begin their season facing two

McNeese Cowgirls4

Joanna Hardin, a key element in the sustained success of the McNeese Cowgirl softball

program that has won back-to-back Southland Conference championships, was named head coach last June. Hardin, a native of Fullerton, Calif., has spearheaded the Cowgirl pitching staff the last two seasons, both of which led the Southland in numerous team and individual pitching statistical categories as well as ranking high among the NCAA leaders. In addition, the Cowgirls broke or tied a total of 23 school or conference records in 2014. Hardin joined the McNeese staff in 2013 and guided the pitchers to a Top 10 national ranking and No. 1 spot in the Southland in team ERA with a 1.79 mark. That squad also led the league in opponent batting average (.220), saves (6), hits allowed (294), runs allowed (122), earned runs allowed (91), walks allowed (53) and extra-base hits allowed (63).

Individually, Hardin helped develop the league’s top pitcher in Megan Bond, who topped the conference in ERA (1.27), opponent batting average (.200), and saves (3) in 2013. The success continued in 2014 as the Cowgirls won a school record 41 games en route to their second straight league title. Sophomore starting pitcher Jamie Allred, the 2014 SLC Pitcher of the Year, set a new school record with 27 victories as well as throwing 10 shutouts in the season. Her exceptional play helped boast the Cowgirls to a league No. 1 ranking in 12 team categories including ERA (1.86), strikeouts (324) and hits allowed (293), just to name a few. In addition to the team success on offense, Cowgirl senior Alanna DiVittorio broke a combined nine school and conference records in the season including season records in runs scored, walks and stolen bases as well as career records in runs scored and walks. DiVittorio, the league’s player and hitter of the year, also became just the second McNeese softball player to earn Capital One Academic All-America honors when she was voted onto the second team. Hardin will inherit a talented squad for her inaugural season as head coach as the Cowgirls will return a total of six players that were named to the all-conference squad, including Allred on the mound. ”We have tremendous young women in our program,” said Hardin. “The goals and expectations will remain the same as they have been – to be champions on and off the field. I’m ready to get to work!” Hardin began her coaching career as the head coach at Whittier Christian High School, in La Habra, Calif., from 2005-07 and helped guide the Heralds to an Olympic League Championship Title in 2006. From 2007-09, Hardin served as assistant coach at Liberty University (Lynchburg, Va.) where she oversaw the pitching staff, conducted camps and clinics, and organized daily practices. In her two years at Liberty, the team finished the 2008 and 2009 season as the Big South Conference Tournament Runners-up. Under her tutelage, Tiffani Smith (2011 graduate), was selected to the All-Big South Conference First Team as a sophomore year, the first Flame to receive such honor since 2001. After earning her Master’s Degree from Liberty University, Hardin started and coached a successful 12U/14U travel team, The Virginia Titans, in 2009. In 2010, while coaching the Titans, she served as head coach at Jefferson Forest

High School where she led the Lady Cavaliers to the 2012 Seminole District Tournament Championship, a Virginia High School League Region III runner-up finish, and advancing the Lady Cavs to the VHSL State quarterfinals. In 2010, while coaching club and high school softball, Hardin opened and managed an indoor softball training facility in Virginia called “The Compound” where she worked primarily as a pitching and hitting instructor.

JENNIE FINCH-DAIGLE

Volunteer Coach

First Year

Former All-American Jennie Finch-Daigle will serve as a volunteer coach for the Cowgirls in 2014, working with the pitchers. Finch, a native of La Mirada, California, was a pitcher and first-baseman for the University of Arizona, the USA national softball team and the Chicago Bandits. Finch won the 2001 Women's College World Series and helped lead Team USA to the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics and a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Time magazine described her as the most famous softball player in history. In 2010, Finch retired from softball to focus on her family. In August 2011 she started work as a color analyst for ESPN doing National Pro Fastpitch and college softball games. Finch began her career by achieving a career high in doubles and throwing her first career no-hitter during the 1999 NCAA tournament against Texas State. Despite making the World Series, the Wildcats were eventually eliminated by DePaul. As a sophomore year, Finch was named a 2000 NFCA First Team All-American and First Team All-

Pac 10. She also threw three no-hitters and led the Wildcats in home runs and slugging percentage and achieved a career best in hits and batting average. Finch began the year with a 21 consecutive game win streak. After suffering her only losses in back-to-back games, Finch finished the year 8–0 starting a new streak against the Oregon Ducks that would span the next two seasons. Finch's 29th win, a World Series victory over the No. 1 seeded Washington Huskies, began a 35 scoreless inning streak, after allowing runs in the fourth inning she pitched a shutout the rest of the way for a 4–2 win. As a junior in 2001, Finch was once again named NFCA First Team and All-Pac 10, adding the Pitcher of The Year award to her resume. She was awarded the Honda Sports Award for Softball Player of The Year. Finch's season ERA, wins and shutouts were and still do rank among the Top 10 at Arizona. Along with a no-hitter and career highs in WHIP and RBIs, Finch opened the season with 31 consecutive scoreless innings spanning 6 wins that combined with the innings from her last game in 2000, was a career best 35 before being snapped in the second inning by a lead off home run vs. McNeese State. On March 30, Finch hit two home runs and a double in an 11–1 romp of the Oregon to drive in a career best 9 RBIs, which tied her third all-time in the NCAA for a single game. Finch and the Wildcats were the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament and made it to the World Series for a third straight year with Finch on the mound. She recorded victories over California and Oklahoma to reach the finals. In a 1–0 shutout against UCLA, Finch set an NCAA record with a perfect season capped with the National Championship. Finch also had a hit in the game and was named MVP for the series. The victory extended her win streak to 40 consecutive games along with the 8 to end the 2000 season. In her final season, Finch was named 2002 First Team for the NCAA and the Pac 10 conference as well as Pitcher of The Year and Honda Player of The Year. Finch tossed 3 no-hitters and broke the season strikeouts record, while her wins and shutouts were and remain Top-10 school records. Against Cal State Fullerton, Finch matched her own record of 35 consecutive scoreless innings that was broken in a 13–1 mercy win over Northern Iowa. Finch set several records in single games beginning with a new NCAA record by winning her 51st consecutive game in the 6–0 victory over Cal State Northridge. For one of her no-hitters, Finch posted her 100th career victory over Notre Dame and struck out 15 against UL-Lafayette for a career best. Finch tied a then school record of 19 strikeouts with a 1-0, 9 inning shutout against Oklahoma. The Wildcat then beat the UCLA to start the year 20–0 and set an NCAA record with 60 straight wins dating back to the 2000 season, as Finch would lose her next decision.

Bruce HempHillAthletic Director

Bruce Hemphill is in his second year as athletic director for McNeese after the former associate AD at the University of Wyoming and assistant to the AD at the University of North Carolina became the ninth athletics director in school history in August of 2013. “Bruce understands the role athletics plays in the larger university environment and he understands the difficulty we face with the athletic budget and the importance of increasing revenue through private sources and auxiliary means,” said McNeese President Dr. Philip Williams. The first year under Hemphill was an eventful one as McNeese’s athletic programs excelled both on the playing field and

in the classroom. Academically, McNeese set a school record by having five players named as the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for their respective sports. The program also led all conference schools in the 2014 spring semester with 21 student-athletes compiling a perfect 4.0 grade point average. And Cowgirl softball player Alana DiVittorio became just the second player in the sport to earn Capital One Academic All-America honors. Athletically, McNeese finished fifth out of the 14 SLC schools for the 2013-14 SLC Commissioner’s Cup standings and led all Louisiana schools. The Cowgirl softball team won a school record 40 games en route to its second consecutive league championship and the Cowboy football team won 10 games and qualified for its league-record 15th FCS playoff appearance. In addition, the men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as volleyball, tennis, baseball and softball, all qualified for the league postseason tournament. During his first year as the department leader, he’s been very active in helping raise funds for the new Health & Human Performance Center that will also be the new home of McNeese basketball and volleyball as well as spearheading beautification projects at the athletic field house, among many other accomplishments. The Sulphur, La., native has 25 years administrative experience at the collegiate and high school levels. He supervised 10 of 17 programs offered at a major Division 1 university and was responsible for budget oversight, game operations, facilities, personnel, compliance, team travel and recruiting. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Louisiana State University where he was a three-year letterman in football and won All-Academic Southeast Conference honors at wide receiver. His professional experience began at LSU where he was a graduate assistant and assistant football coach. In 1984, after serving as the supervisor for health and physical education for the Louisiana Department of Education, he returned to collegiate athletics and served for two years as an assistant football coach at Louisiana Tech University. In 1987 he became the recruiting coordinator at North Carolina State University. From 1989-1990 he served as the assistant recruiting coordinator at the University of South Carolina. He joined the athletics department staff at the University of North Carolina in 1990 and served eight years as assistant to the athletics director and director of recruiting. From 1999-2003 he was associate athletics director at the University of Wyoming. In 2003 he returned to North Carolina and accepted a position as athletics director at a 4A high school, the largest classification in the state. Hemphill has two sons - James, 19, a sophomore basketball player at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland and Jack, 15, a sophomore in high school, and a daughter, Hayden, 18, a senior in high school.

Quotes from colleagues about Bruce Hemphill: “McNeese has hired the perfect fit in Bruce Hemphill. He is from Southwest Louisiana and he will bring the community together around McNeese athletics. Bruce understands what it takes to build a successful Division I athletics program. He has exceptional people skills and he is a great leader and motivator. He is a fundraiser and he will build support for the program. Bruce is a professional and kind of person McNeese needs. He is a terrific choice!”- Lee Moon, Director of Athletics - University of North Florida; Former Athletics Director - University of Wyoming “McNeese hit a home run with Bruce Hemphill! A great plus for Bruce is that he is from Louisiana, played football at LSU and worked at LSU and Louisiana Tech. He knows what it takes to build a successful program and he will lead the McNeese athletics department in the right direction. I have known Bruce since 1982 and our paths have crossed several times. He has held a wide range of positions in collegiate athletics from recruiting to admin-istrative and he knows how to get things done. Bruce understands the role that athletics plays in the overall success of the university. He is a people person and he will do a great job with fundraising and moving the McNeese athletics department forward. He is without a doubt the best choice for the McNeese athletics director!”- Carl Torbush, Head Football Coach - East Tennessee State University; Former Head Football Coach - University of North Carolina “What a tremendous opportunity for Bruce. Bruce has a wealth of experience at a lot of different levels in athletics. He has great integrity and loyalty. I know he’s very excited about being the athletics director at McNeese, with his ties to South Louisiana this is a perfect fit.”- Mack Brown, Head Football Coach - Former Head Coach - University of Texas; Former Head Football Coach - University of North Carolina “Bruce is an excellent choice to lead McNeese athletics. He is a ‘can do’ guy and during his time at Wyoming I was impressed with his professionalism, people skills and positive out-look. He has an effective public presence and was very engaged with fundraising. Bruce will build support for McNeese State University and McNeese athletics.”- Dr. Philip Dubois, Chancellor - University of North Carolina Charlotte
