2019 SOFTBALL SEASON PREVIEW

Wayne State College looks to improve on last season’s 16-29 record and 11th place fi nish in the Northern Sun Con-ference (10-16). The Wildcats return their top three pitchers, but lost three seniors who all hit over .320 at the plate last season. The Wildcats look to improve in the circle and in the fi eld defensively after ranking 16th in fi elding percentage last season (86 errors) and 15th in earned run average (6.05). “Our strengths this year will be depth at each position,” remarked fi fth year head coach Shelli Manson, who is 88-115 overall and 54-58 in NSIC games entering this season. “We have many capable kids at each position and they have been pushing each other to get better the entire year. We have been working on our defensive fundamentals a great deal and really trying to work on doing the little things better.”

The Wildcats re-turn five starters in the fi eld, led by senior first baseman Emily Chandler, a First Team All-NSIC selection last season for the second time in three years. Chandler led the WSC offense with a .392 av-erage, recording 60 hits with seven homers and a team-high 43 RBI while scoring 29 runs. Senior outfielder Morgan Vasa had a strong second half last

season and will earn the starting spot in left fi eld after batting .277 last season in 29 starts. She had 23 hits and 20 runs scored while tied for second on the team in stolen bases (8-9).

Senior Abbie Hix started 44 games last season (41 at sec-ond base) and tied for fourth on the team with 22 RBI while looking to improve on her .224 average. Other returning starters back in the field include sopho-more shortstop Annie Grammer (.215, 3 HR, 9 RBI) and sophomore third baseman Ashley Hernandez (.272, 2 HR, 19 RBI).

Senior Baylee Rial played in 28 games last season in the outfi eld and recorded a .250 average with 16 hits, 17 runs scored and nine RBI while senior Taylor Menard also played in 28 games with 18 starts at third base and produced a .232 average with 13 hits and seven RBI. The Wildcat pitching staff brings back three experienced throwers for the 2019 season. Senior Riley Vanderveen and sophomore Maddie Moser recorded 13 of Wayne State’s 16 wins last season. Vanderveen was 7-14 with a 5.61 ERA and had six complete games while Moser posted a 6-11 mark with a 6.02 ERA and had f ive complete games with one shut-out while leading the team in strikeouts with 52. Freshman Maken-na Adkison (Gilbert, Ariz.) is also expected to join in the starting rotation this season. Wayne State was picked to fi nish 12th in the Preseason NSIC Coaches’ Poll released on January 23rd. “Winona State and Augustana will be two very tough teams again this year, but the NSIC is always very tough from top to bottom,” remarked Coach Manson. “We will use the fi rst part of our season with tough competition to prepare for our conference and to achieve our ultimate goal of winning the conference tournament.” The Wildcats are scheduled to open the season February 15-17 at the Eight-State Classic in Bentonville, Arkansas. WSC will take its annual spring break trip in early March to the National Training Center Spring Games in Florida and are scheduled to open the home schedule on March 30th at the Pete Chapman Softball Complex vs. St. Cloud State.

The 2010 Wayne State College softball team captured the school's fi rst-ever NSIC Tourna-ment title. One week later, the Wildcats hosted and won the NCAA Central Regional Tourna-ment and advanced to the Super Regional at Metro State fi nishing with a school record 43 wins.

THE NORTHERN SUNINTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE

From its modest origin as a six-team alliance over eight decades ago, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference has matured into a 16-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the strongest affi liation in NCAA Division II. The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today. Southwest Minnesota State University was added in 1969, followed by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (NE) in 1998, Con-cordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006, Augustana College in 2008 and Minot State University and the University of Sioux Falls in 2012. Minnesota State, St. Cloud State and Minnesota Duluth left the league to join the North Central Conference but returned to the NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota, Morris and Michigan Tech University were once part of the NSIC family as well. In 1992 the NSIC became a true athletic showcase for both men and women with the merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) and the Northern Sun Conference (NSC), the home of women’s athletics since 1979. Before NSIC affi liates became certifi ed for championship competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 1995, its member institutions fi lled prominent roles in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualifi ed student-athletes to national tournaments and captured several NAIA teams and individual championships. The NSIC continues to make a major imprint nationally, winning 21 national titles since 2006. Winona State men claimed NCAA II Basketball Championships in 2006 and 2008 and narrowly missed a third crown, falling in a last second shot in 2007. In addition, the Warriors established a NCAA II record of 57 consecutive victories. Concordia University launched an ongoing streak of seven consecutive NCAA II Volleyball Championships in 2007. In 2008 the Golden Bears won 37 straight matches after a season opening loss on their way to a second consecutive title and scripted a marvelous encore in 2009 with a perfect 37-0 fi nish, a third straight national crown and a winning streak of 74 straight matches. In 2010 the Golden Bear extended that NCAA record win streak to 75 before dropping their second match of the season. They started 2010 with a 10-4 record before ripping off 22 straight wins on their way to their fourth straight national title. In 2011, after overcoming midseason injuries, the Golden Bears hit their stride. The Golden Bears knocked off No. 1 and undefeated Cal State San Bernardino to become the fi rst team in the history of NCAA Division II women’s volleyball, to capture a fi fth consecutive NCAA Division II Championship. Then in 2012, the Golden Bears again made a late season and championship match surge as they defeated Tampa 3-2 after trailing 0-2 to win their sixth straight NCAA DII Volleyball National Championship. In 2013 Concordia-St. Paul won the NSIC regular season title, but was defeated in the NSIC Tournament Championship by Minnesota Duluth. But from there the Golden Bears ripped off six straight NCAA postseason wins, extending their streak to 42, on their way to a 3-0 sweep of BYU-Hawaii to win another NCAA National Championship. After a two year hiatus, the Golden Bears return to the top of Division II volleyball as they won the 2016 and 2017 national championships. In a most surprising run, Minnesota Duluth completed a perfect 15-0 season by winning the 2008 NCAA Division II Football Championship. The Bulldogs, limited to only 24 scholarships by league rule, swept a fi eld of fully-funded teams, including top ranked Grand Valley State and number three Northwest Missouri State. Two years later, in 2010, the Bulldogs repeated that feat, going 15-0 again to win the national championship. The Bulldogs became the fi rst NCAA DII football squad to win two national championships with undefeated records. Minnesota State added more luster to the league by fi nishing 32-2 and claiming the 2008-09 NCAA II Women’s Basketball Championship. The Mavericks rolled to a wild 103-94 victory over Franklin Pierce to set a NCAA record for total points in the title game.In 2017 the Maverick softball team went 64-7 to win the National Championship. The Mavericks went 10-1 in NCAA play, including 5-0 in Salem Virginia as they defeated Angelo State 5-1 in the championship game. Augustana got into the mix of national championships in 2011 when their women’s cross country team turned in a true team performance in Spo-kane, Wash. All fi ve Viking runners earned All-American status as Augustana won the fi rst cross country national championship in NSIC history. The Vikings men’s basketball team won the 2015-16 National Championship after going 34-2 and defeating Lincoln Memorial 90-81 in Frisco, Texas. The Augustana baseball team became the fi rst NSIC institution to win a national championship in baseball, as the Vikings had an impressive post season, going 8-1 in NCAA play and a perfect 4-0 in Cary, North Carolina to fi nish the season 52-9. After multiple runner-up fi nishes, the St. Cloud State Huskies fi nally captured the national championship in wrestling in 2015. They repeated in 2016 and then took home the title again in 2018. The NSIC has also had 12 athletes awarded with the NCAA Elite 90 Award on 15 occasions.
