ATHLETIC FACILITIES AT THE MOUNT<br />

The Mount provides its students with athletic fields and the<br />

Harrington Center, a modern two-level student union with a<br />

running track, gym, fitness center, and food court. During the<br />

2003-2004 academic year, the Mount began its Campus Expansion<br />

Plan, which includes athletic fields to accommodate more Mount<br />

teams on campus for practice and home games.<br />

The Mount’s East Fields on Delhi Road, which have been the<br />

home field for women’s soccer, have been expanded into a game<br />

field and running track with seating for up to 2,400 spectators. The<br />

new Sports Complex gives the Mount <strong>Lions</strong>’ football team its first<br />

home field on campus since 1990. It also provides a home field for<br />

women’s soccer, men’s soccer and lacrosse teams for men (2007)<br />

and women (2009). The track serves the Mount’s track & field<br />

teams and additional facilities house the Mount’s academic program<br />

in athletic training, as well as locker rooms and concessions. The<br />

Campus Expansion Plan also included the renovation of nearby<br />

College property into practice fields. The <strong>Lions</strong>’ softball team began<br />

playing home games at the new River Road softball field in 2007.<br />

MOUNT ATHLETICS DIRECTOR<br />

Steve Radcliffe<br />

Steve Radcliffe enters his 13th year as the<br />

<strong>Lions</strong>’ athletic director for the 2007-2008<br />

school year, and he looks forward to another<br />

outstanding season of athletics at the Mount.<br />

The <strong>Lions</strong>’ volleyball team captured the<br />

HCAC Championship this past fall and<br />

advanced to the Conference Championship<br />

game. The Mount football team finished as<br />

runner-ups in the HCAC regular season and<br />

qualified to their fourth straight NCAA Division III playoffs.<br />

Women’s soccer also advanced to the HCAC Semifinals while the<br />

men’s soccer team enjoyed their best season to date.<br />

In addition, there were plenty of other highlights, both<br />

individually and team-wise, for the Mount’s athletic programs this<br />

past fall.<br />

Radcliffe has long been a part of the sports programs at<br />

the Mount. A retired athletic trainer, Radcliffe began his athletic<br />

training career in 1976 and was hired to implement the Mount’s<br />

first academic program for athletic training in 1989. In addition,<br />

Radcliffe has been the <strong>Lions</strong>’ head athletic trainer, working with<br />

athletes from all the intercollegiate sports, as well as teaching<br />

athletic training at the College.<br />

Radcliffe, who received his bachelor’s degree in 1978 and his<br />

master’s in physical education in 1981 from Miami University<br />

(Ohio), became the Mount’s athletic director in 1995. Upon entering<br />

the position, Radcliffe stressed the importance of upholding the<br />

College’s stellar reputation of academics and athletics as a positive<br />

influence in student life and development at the Mount.<br />

Steve and his wife, Darlene, have two children, Victoria and<br />

Michael. The Radcliffes live in Delhi.

COLLEGE OF MOUNT ST. JOSEPH<br />

2008 OUTLOOK<br />

The <strong>Lions</strong> are coming off two straight season’s of sub .500 results<br />

and missed making the conference tournament last season. Head<br />

Coach Beth Goderwis and her team plan to improve their run<br />

production this fall and overcome the graduation loss of a senior<br />

pitching leader in order to turn things around this coming season.<br />

The Mount averaged only 3.8 runs scored per game last season<br />

and saw their team batting average slip to .252. Despite that, the<br />

<strong>Lions</strong> were in the hunt down the stretch for fourth place in the<br />

HCAC regular season standings, a spot that would have qualified<br />

them to the HCAC Tournament. The Mount would end up<br />

finishing seventh in the conference standings, with a 7-9 record,<br />

and a 13-23 overall mark. Outfielder Erin Brogan and pitcher<br />

Sheena Hundley graduated in the spring of 2007 for the <strong>Lions</strong>.<br />

Brogan returns to the <strong>Lions</strong> this season as an assistant coach,<br />

along with Jessica Hartley.<br />

“My biggest concern last season was that we didn’t score enough<br />

runs,’’ Goderwis states. “Part of it was that we didn’t have a lot of<br />

hits and the hits we did have, we didn’t get a lot with runners in<br />

scoring position. We need to get better from an offensive standpoint<br />

and our team batting average needs to be over .300.”<br />

Last season the <strong>Lions</strong> allowed only 158 runs (4.4 per game) and<br />

had a team earned run average of 2.85. Opponents batted .296<br />

against the Mount in 2007.<br />

In addition to finishing the season with a winning record,<br />

Goderwis and her team would like to get into the conference<br />

tournament, win the HCAC Tournament (which would qualify<br />

them to the NCAA Tournament) and win at least one game in<br />

the NCAA postseason, something they have never done in the<br />

program’s history.<br />

8<br />

Mount catcher Randi Yaeger in 2007 action.<br />

Goderwis said she’s looking for her team to increase their power<br />

production as they totaled 33 doubles, five triples and five home<br />

runs among their 137 hits in 2007. A solid group of returners, and<br />

some newcomers, could improve those numbers this season. Those<br />

same players will be counted on to provide a strong defense for the<br />

<strong>Lions</strong>, most notably in the outfield.<br />

All-Conference catcher Randi Yaeger, a junior captain, gives the<br />

team solid skills on both defense and at the plate. She led the team’s<br />

full-time players in batting average and was second in RBI last<br />

season. Providing depth at the catching position is freshman Rachel<br />

Yarman. The starting first base position could be handled by any of<br />

these three players, junior Megan Helvey, senior Katie Cammerer<br />

and freshman Megan McCullough. Second base is also another wide<br />

open position for a starter, among sophomore Staci Hazenfeld; and<br />

freshmen Ella Frede, Brittany Sparks, Abby LaRosa and McCullough.<br />

Junior Kristina Dennett, McCullough or Frede will also compete for<br />

the starting shortstop position. Team RBI leader Casey Downey, a<br />

sophomore, is expected to start at third base and will be backed up<br />

by LaRosa.<br />

Goderwis is happy with the look of the team’s outfield, with<br />

returning starters Rae Glassmeyer, a junior captain, returns in left<br />

field while sophomore Casey Waldman returns to right field. Senior<br />

Ashleigh Stallkamp has been moved from shortstop to center field<br />

this season. Among others that may see time in the outfield this<br />

season are junior Jessica Meinking and freshman Sara Rutschilling.<br />

Cammerer is also expected to compete for the starting designated<br />

player position this spring. Senior Tessa Diersing should anchor the<br />

team’s pitching staff in 2007 but three freshmen pitchers Katie<br />

Lawrence, Katie Cohill and Casey Brookbank will compete for<br />

innings, too. Those three freshmen pitchers might also see time in<br />

the batting order or at other positions in the field.<br />

“I think we added a little more power with McCullough and I<br />

feel that Waldman, Yaeger, Stallkamp, and Downey can increase<br />

their power output, too,” Goderwis says. “I think our batting order<br />

will be strong, especially 3-4-5. We have eight freshmen on the team<br />

and a few spots open for starters that we’ll need to get settled on.<br />

Also, our pitching staff will be young but I think we have some<br />

talented players, there, also.”<br />

Goderwis said she is looking forward to the 2008 season and will<br />

see her team tested early in the spring. The Mount recorded a 3-5<br />

mark in Florida last season, but lost two closely played games during<br />

that stretch to nationally-ranked teams. After returning home, the<br />

Mount was not able to play for 11 days due to inclement weather.<br />

This season’s Florida spring break games include taking on four<br />

teams with winning records in 2007 (out of eight opponents).<br />

Other strong 2008 HCAC foes on the schedule, besides the<br />

conference teams, are Centre, Wittenberg and Kenyon.<br />

“The layoff hurt us last season,’’ said Goderwis of the early season<br />

woes in 2007. “We couldn’t get outside to do anything. I think<br />

though, this season, if we can figure out how to put it all together<br />

we can win against anyone.”<br />

Goderwis said the team came to practice this preseason in better<br />

shape overall than they had in the past. She feels her team has better<br />

overall speed this season and the personnel that will give her better<br />

flexibility in both the field and at the plate.<br />

“We were chosen for sixth in the HCAC Coaches Preseason Poll<br />

but it could be an interesting year,’’ Goderwis said. “Our players are<br />

excited about the season and we’re ready to get going.”

COLLEGE OF MOUNT ST. JOSEPH<br />

MOUNT IN THE HCAC<br />

The College of Mount St. Joseph <strong>Lions</strong> head into their ninth season<br />

as a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. Other<br />

conference members include: Anderson University, Bluffton College,<br />

Defiance College, Franklin College, Hanover College, Manchester<br />

College, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and Transylvania<br />

University.<br />

In 1999, the <strong>Lions</strong> ended their season fourth in the HCAC<br />

regular season standings. They also placed third in the HCAC<br />

Tournament. The team placed in the top three in batting average<br />

(.325), slugging percentage (.404), and ERA (2.50). April King,<br />

Anita Murphy and Cari Stroub were named to the All-Conference<br />

Team in 1999.<br />

In 2000 the Mount placed fifth in the HCAC regular season.<br />

The team was third in runs scored with 74 runs. The <strong>Lions</strong> also tied<br />

for second place in doubles (22) and triples (5). The <strong>Lions</strong> were<br />

eliminated in the first round of the HCAC Tournament. Following<br />

the season, Stephanie Schram and Angela Von Gries were named to<br />

the All-Conference Team.<br />

2001 brought about a great year for the <strong>Lions</strong> as they tied for<br />

second place, 7-5, in the HCAC regular season (along with<br />

Anderson and Bluffton). The <strong>Lions</strong> advanced to the finals of the<br />

HCAC Tournament, but lost to the eventual champion Manchester,<br />

2-1 and 4-0 (championship game). Christy Stath was awarded<br />

HCAC Most Valuable Player and all-conference. Schram and Von<br />

Gries were once again named to the All-Conference Team. Stath<br />

and Von Gries were also named Players of the Week during the<br />

season. The <strong>Lions</strong> led the conference in doubles (19).<br />

The <strong>Lions</strong>’ success continued to build in 2002, as they captured<br />

second place behind Transylvania University in the regular season<br />

standings. Advancing to the HCAC Tournament finals with wins<br />

over Manchester and Defiance, the <strong>Lions</strong> beat Anderson in two<br />

games, capturing their first ever HCAC Championship title. With<br />

that win, the Mount earned a bid in the NCAA III Regional<br />

Tournament. Senior Julie Wise was named Most Valuable Player in<br />

the conference, and freshman Kati Stroub earned the Freshman of<br />

the Year award. Joining them on the All-Conference team were<br />

seniors Christy Stath and Stephanie Schram. The 2003 season<br />

marked the third straight season that the Mount claimed second<br />

place in the HCAC. The <strong>Lions</strong> repeated as HCAC Tournament<br />

Champions, sweeping through the tournament undefeated,<br />

including a championship win against Defiance College. Kati<br />

Stroub tossed a 1-0 no-hitter against Anderson in the tournament.<br />

The <strong>Lions</strong> once again advanced to the NCAA III Regional<br />

Tournament. Stroub, Carrie Higgins and Annie Neumann were<br />

selected all-conference while Erin Mallory gained HCAC Player of<br />

the Week honors. Jacqueline Gering, Lori Gray, Sondra Roberto,<br />

and Neumann were named academic all-conference.<br />

The Mount got off to a fast start in conference play in 2004,<br />

sweeping Anderson in a doubleheader to open HCAC action, they<br />

then dropped three straight, including a doubleheader at Franklin<br />

College. After sweeping Manchester College, the Mount stood at<br />

6-4 in the HCAC. They finished their conference schedule by<br />

splitting doubleheaders against Transylvania University and Hanover<br />

College. The <strong>Lions</strong>, picked for second in the Preseason Coaches’<br />

Poll, finished tied for third with Franklin and captured the fourth<br />

seed for the HCAC Tournament. They dropped their first game in<br />

the HCAC Tournament but rebounded to win three straight to<br />

advance to the championship game where they were defeated by<br />

Defiance College, 6-5 in 10 innings. Kati Stroub, Annie Neumann<br />

and Carrie Higgins were named All-Conference and Megan Vincent<br />

received an HCAC Player of the Week award. Jennifer Esterman,<br />

Jackie Gering, Amy Sunderman, and Neumann each received<br />

Academic All-Conference recognition.<br />

The 2005 season was yet another winning year for the <strong>Lions</strong>.<br />

With 18 wins and 14 losses, the Mount finished third in the HCAC,<br />

with 10 conference victories. The <strong>Lions</strong> season ended with two early<br />

losses in the HCAC Tournament to Defiance College, 11-9 and<br />

Bluffton College, 7-1. Leading the way for the <strong>Lions</strong> was senior<br />

outfielder Annie Neumann, senior third baseman Carrie Higgins<br />

and junior outfielder Amy Sunderman. All three were voted to the<br />

HCAC All-Conference Team. Neumann, Sunderman and Katie<br />

Stroub also took home HCAC Player of the Week Honors, in three<br />

consecutive weeks.<br />

In 2006, the <strong>Lions</strong> finished with an overall record of 17-24, but<br />

they came in fourth in the conference with a 7-7 mark. They went<br />

on to win three games in the HCAC Tournament, en route to the<br />

conference semi-finals, where their season ended against Anderson<br />

University. Leading the way for the <strong>Lions</strong> during the conference<br />

schedule was senior catcher Alicia Johnson, who earned a spot on<br />

the HCAC All-Conference Team. Johnson batted .318 and started<br />

37 games. Senior pitcher Jennifer Esterman picked up an HCAC<br />

Player of the Week award during the season.<br />

The <strong>Lions</strong> slipped to seventh in the HCAC standings in 2007<br />

with a 7-9 mark, missing out on making the HCAC Tournament.<br />

There were, however, some solid performances turned in by Mount<br />

players. In conference games only, the Mount finished first in<br />

innings pitched, first in runners picked off, tied for second in stolen<br />

bases, third in fielding percentage, and fourth in ERA. Erin Brogan<br />

was first in the conference in stolen bases while Randi Yaeger was<br />

second in doubles. Yaeger was the team’s lone representative on the<br />

All-Conference team while Sheena Hundley, Casey Downey and<br />

Brogan picked up HCAC Player of the Week honors during the<br />

season.
