Over the last 39 years, the Seminole program has done its part to help grow the game exponentially in that time span by churning out several All-America players, staffing quality coach- es and stringing together many impressive seasons, including a trip to the 2014 and 2016 Women’s College World Series. With the 2017 season marking head coach Lonni Alameda’s ninth as the Seminole skipper, the direction of the program continues to stay on the right path. Forty-win seasons continue to be a staple of the program, with 33 in the program’s 39 years, including 16 50-win seasons. NCAA Championship appearances are always expected, with the Seminoles being one of just nine schools to make an NCAA Regional in every year since 2000. Historically, there are not many programs that can match the numbers put up by Florida State: 14 Atlantic Coast Conference titles, nine NCAA Women’s College World Series appearances, two AIAW national titles, 30 All-Americans with 42 total All- America honors and 29 NCAA Championship appearances. Being a Florida State softball student-athlete does not mean the sole focus is just on the field. Joining the program puts you in an instantaneous family that is fostered by a fun-loving coaching staff that brings out the best in each player through team-building activities. In addition to the years of tradition etched in the Florida State softball program, the concept of team never holds a greater meaning than for those dressed in Garnet and Gold. Led by Alameda’s fun yet focused approach, Florida State softball student-athletes leave their careers with life-long memories. 2017 SOFTBALL | PAGE 2 NINE WOMEN’S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES APPEARANCES • 14 ACC CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS IS FLORIDA STATE SOFTBALL COMMUNITY AND ACADEMIC PRIORITES Community and Academic Success • Seminole Softball completed over 1,000 hours of community service in the last academic year; a testament to the hard work and commitment of the FSU softball coaches and players. • The Seminoles recorded a 100 percent participation rate in a variety of activities, including Literacy Week, National Student- Athlete Day, Miracle League Softball, as well as meeting with cancer patients at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. • The Noles also “adopted” Madison Marshall in 2016 through a partnership with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. The 16-year old from Clarksville, Fla., found out she had had brain cancer in 2015. • FSU earned the Golden Nole award in 2014 and 2015, given to the program with the highest amount of community service hours per student-athlete. • A team leadership group, known as The Tribe, meets weekly to help promote group activity among the team. The leadership council helps coordinate activities such as Dugout Club Socials, seasonal newsletters, community service activities and more. • The program carries several All-ACC Academic Honor Roll students, All-ACC Academic team members, postgraduate scholarship winners, CoSIDA/ESPN All-District and All-American performers. • The Seminoles placed three student-athletes on the 2016 All- ACC Academic Softball Team - Ellie Cooper, Morgan Klaevemann and Meghan King. • Kelly Hensley earned the 2013 ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year award for her success both on and off the field. • The Seminoles have also committed to cleaning a portion of Tallahassee’s Tharpe Street as part of Florida’s Adopt-A-Highway program. 2017 SOFTBALL | PAGE 2 PAGE 3 | 2017 SOFTBALL 1981 & 1982 AIAW NATIONAL CHAMPIONS • 29 NCAA APPEARANCES • 42 ALL-AMERICANS THIS IS FLORIDA STATE SOFTBALL FACILITIES SECOND TO NONE The Seminole Softball Complex • Known as one of NCAA softball’s best venues, JoAnne Graf Field at the Seminole Softball Complex is a modernized athletic facility that caters quite well to student-athletes, coaches and fans. • Since opening in 1999, Florida State has enjoyed the benefits of playing on their home field. The Seminoles have recorded 465 victories in their 17 years at JoAnne Graf Field. • The complex’s unique design was featured in Athletic Business Magazine’s 2002 Architectural Showcase. • Approaching nearly 12,000 square feet, the FSU Softball batting facility is functional, unique and aesthetically pleasing. • The facility, which was awarded the 2011 AIA Tallahassee Chap- ter Design Achievement Honor Award, is endorsed for its com- bination of external features, comfortable nature and multiple purposes within the sport of softball. • The near million dollar facility that was spear-headed by architects Lewis + Whitlock is a beacon for future player development, while providing safety from inclement weather. • The updated batting cage facility allows for training in any kind of weather or environment. There are four batting cages and four bullpen slots on the ground floor, while the second floor is an open space with artificial turf that can be used in multiple ways. • The Mary Ann Stiles & Barry Smith team building is the home of the Florida State softball and soccer teams. It houses the coaches’ offices, which overlook the soccer and softball fields, a reception area, large team and coaches locker rooms, a visiting team locker room and training and equipment rooms. • One of FSU’s most celebrated and renowned alumni couples, Mary Ann Stiles and Barry Smith epitomize the ultimate in profes- sional and athletic achievement.
