1 Cougar Softball UNIVERSITY INFORMATION

Founded in 1964 by the Church of the Nazarene, Mount Vernon Nazarene University held its first classes in October of 1968 on the former Lakeholm farm in Mount Vernon, Ohio. The land was purchased by public subscription and donated to the university. With an enrollment of over 2,200, MVNU is the official university of the East Central Educational Region of the Church of the Nazarene. The primary responsibility for sponsorship and support of the university is charged to the Nazarene congregations in Ohio, West Virginia, and the eastern half of Kentucky. The aspiration of the university is that academic and student life activities be integrated in a Wesleyan holiness tradition to facilitate character, value, and cultural development to improve the quality of life. This is expressed in the motto: "To seek to learn is to seek to serve." The university offers more than 80 academic programs and a full range of pre-professional programs while granting associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. MVNU offers 13 intercollegiate sports (men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s , men’s and women’s , , softball, and men’s and women’s ), and students can take part in an active intramural program. The Campus

The MVNU campus consists of 400 tree-filled acres on the Lakeholm farm. The gently rolling fields, bordered on the rear by the Kokosing River, constitute a campus of natural beauty. The university buildings are of Williamsburg colonial design blending well with the site and complementing Mount Vernon's reputation as "Ohio's Colonial City." Four dorms (Pioneer, Oakwood, Galloway, and Redwood) and seven apartment complexes (Maplewood, Elmwood, Rosewood, Cedar, Birch, Spruce, and Cypress) provide quality living quarters for residential students. Major buildings include: Faculty, Founders, and Regents Halls (three large classroom buildings), the R.R. Hodges Chapel/Fine Arts Complex, the Jetter School of Business, the Hyson Campus Center, the Lakeholm Administration Building, the Physical Education Center, Donoho Recreation Center, and Prince Student Union, the Thorne Library/Learning Resource Center, and the Jennie K. Moore Family and Consumer Science Building. The university also holds classes in the Buchwald Center and Hunter Hall in downtown Mount Vernon as well. 2 Cougar Softball UNIVERSITY INFORMATION

Sophomore Konnor Byers (.271,12 RBI) returns to shortstop this season after starting all 30 games for the Cougars last season. Byers also fielded at a .870 clip as she committed just 13 errors in 100 chances. At third base, sophomore Hayley Gray (.211, 14 RBI) returns to action as she started 27 games last season for the Cougars. Gray led the team with 2 homeruns last season. The outfield core will be led by sophomore left fielder Keli Thompson (.267, 14 runs scored.) Thompson started 29 games for the cougars as she lead the team with 6 steals in 7 attempts. Joining Thompson in the outfield will be Cambree Moser (.238, 9 RBI) in right field. Freshman Brianna Patterson will see time in centerfield in her first season after graduating last year from Waynedale High School. On the mound the Lady Cougars will look to sophomore Lauren Arndt who threw 61.1 innings last year as she posted a team best 3.08 earned run average. Supporting Riffell and Arndt in the circle this season will be freshmen Aryanna Brown, Courtney Rengert. Freshman Nikki Jenkins will add additional depth in the infield positions. Jenkins completes a group of eight freshmen this season that will compete for the cougars. The Lady Cougars will look to open up the season as they head to Florida for the annual spring trip where they will play ten games in six days. The trip opens up March 13 against Trinity Christian College followed by games against Trinity International University, Lourdes University, Saint Thomas University, Indiana Institute of Technology, Midland University, and one final game against Indiana Institute of Technology to wrap up the spring trip on March 18.The Cougars will begin play in the Crossroads League beginning March 22nd with a double header at Spring Arbor University. MVNU will compete against the other nine schools in the conference this spring, Bethel (Ind.) College, Huntington (Ind.) University, the University of Saint Francis (Ind.), Marian (Ind.) University, Grace (Ind.) College, Goshen (Ind.) College, Indiana Wesleyan University, Spring Arbor (Mich.) University, and Taylor (Ind.) University will all challenge for the six spots for a berth to the conference tournament. Bethel and Marian each start the season after receiving votes in the preseason NAIA poll. "This year is a little bit different in how the conference is scheduled." said Howald. "We will now be making a trip to every school in the conference this season as we play two games at each site. Four game series against every team in the conference will be an adjustment. Our goal is to make it to the conference tournament. We feel once we get into tournament play anything can happen, we will be aiming for a spot in the top six." 16 Cougar Softball Season Results Page 1 of 2

19 Cougar Softball MVNU’S AFFILIATIONS The Crossroads League, formerly the Mid- Central College Conference, was founded in 1959 and is one of the oldest conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The Crossroads League currently consists of 10 institutions located in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio: Bethel (Ind.) College, Goshen (Ind.) College, Grace (Ind.) College, Huntington (Ind.) University, Indiana Wesleyan University, Marian (Ind.) University, Mount Vernon Nazarene (Ohio) University, the University of Saint Francis (Ind.), Spring Arbor (Mich.) University, and Taylor (Ind.) University. The purpose of the Crossroads League is to promote intercollegiate athletics in a well-rounded athletic program, maintain high ideals, and to promote sportsmanship. The conference sponsors championships in 14 sports (seven for men and seven for women). Crossroads League student athletes and teams also make their mark on the NAIA national level by virtue of national championships, All-Americans, Scholar- Athletes, national rankings, and statistical leaders. For complete information on the conference as well as up-to-date standings, statistics, and stories for each sport, go to: www.crossroadsleague.com

Throughout its history, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has provided strong leadership for all aspects of intercollegiate sports. Since its introduction of intercollegiate basketball in 1937, the NAIA has maintained the highest standards while administering first-rate athletics programs. Time and time again, the NAIA has stepped forward to address the important issues of the day – be it racial integration in the ‘40s and ‘50s or establishing the first women’s championship program in 1980. The NAIA has not been afraid to enact changes while others have watched and waited. 20 Cougar Softball MVNU’S AFFILIATIONS

With its major emphasis on educational development, it was natural for the NAIA to further strengthen academic eligibility requirements in the mid-1980s. All NAIA participating student-athletes must maintain a certain grade point average while accumulating credit hours for a declared academic degree. Unlike other associations, NAIA student- athlete academic eligibility is monitored on a semester-by-semester basis. The Scholar-Athlete program, a longstanding NAIA tradition, recognizes junior and senior student-athletes with a minimum 3.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.

Since 1937, the NAIA has administered athletics programs and championships in proper balance with the overall collegiate educational experience. Serving higher education in this manner is a responsibility the NAIA does not take lightly. It is a relationship built on confidence and trust – a relationship strengthened year after year.

The National Christian College Athletic Association is a miracle organization. Over the years, an idea has become a reality providing Christian student-athletes in Christian colleges and universities both an opportunity for fellowship and competition on a national level. The NCCAA game plan is to produce true winners – a game plan that will carry an individual through his or her entire life. The game plan is devised to draw out the student-athlete’s greatest potential in body, mind, and spirit.

Since its first tournament in 1968, the NCCAA has grown to encompass more than 100 Christian colleges and universities nationwide, both liberal arts and Bible colleges in stature. The participating schools are dedicated not only to the best athletic competition possible, but also to exemplifying Jesus Christ in everything. The NCCAA is an organization bringing Christian colleges and universities together not just for athletic competition.
