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.
