College Profile 

What is the College of Mount St. Joseph educational experience It’s learning through action – serving 

others, graduate-level research, paid co-op positions, and leadership development. It’s a Catholic liberal 

arts education that helps you develop the knowledge to make a difference and the integrity to lead 

others. Students with a liberal arts education seek to challenge, explore, and uncover. The Mount can 

help you do just that. 

The foundation of a Mount education comes from career-minded academic programs combined with 

dedicated support service and a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio. New on campus this year is a major in 

neuroscience and a minor in Catholic studies. 

At the Mount, you’re encouraged to take your lessons outside of the classroom, into the community. 

Through the Service Learning program, students earn academic credit while volunteering to feed the 

hungry, building homes for Habitat for Humanity, or comforting the elderly. The Cultural Immersion 

program offers the chance to live, learn and work amidst other cultures. The Cooperative Education 

program, available for all majors, is a way for students to gain valuable, paid career experience while 

validating their choice of a major. 

Student-athletes are among the Mount’s most active leaders on campus. Competing in the Heartland 

Collegiate Athletic conference, the Mount fields more than 20 NCAA Division III sports teams. Students 

also participate in 40 student-run clubs and organizations including Student Government Association and 

Black Student Union. 

The Mount is committed to working with students to explore all financial aid options, especially

received some sort of gift aid; more than $12.5 million in grants and scholarships were received

Cincinnati Spotlights 

Students of the College of Mount St. Joseph greatly benefit from the 

rich heritage and traditions of Cincinnati. While the College is situated 

15 minutes west of downtown, employment, arts and entertainment are 

never too far away. 

Numerous Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies are headquartered in 

Cincinnati. Procter & Gamble, The Kroger Company, and Fifth Third Bank, 

among others, contribute to Cincinnati’s foundation while Cincinnati 

Children’s Hospital Medical Center is among the nations’ top children’s 

hospitals. Mount Cooperative Education students are hired by more 

than 100 hospitals, businesses and nonprofit organizations of Greater 

Cincinnati. 

Boasting a vibrant commitment to the arts, Cincinnatians enjoy the

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Music Hall, and a varied supply of art 

galleries. Mount students often incorporate Cincinnati’s art exhibits and 

performances into their studies. 

Cincinnati knows sports. The Cincinnati Reds, the Major League Baseball 

team, and the Cincinnati Bengals, of the National Football League, provide 

competition, entertainment and emotion for the city’s sports fans. Co-op 

and volunteer opportunities with these organizations are often available to 

Mount students. Cincinnati is also home to the Flying Pig Marathon every 

May and the Master’s and Women’s Open tennis tournament every August. 

Historical neighborhoods such as Mount Adams, Clifton and Over-the- 

Rhine make good architectural and cultural adventures, while additional 

entertainment options are just across the Ohio River in Newport, 

Covington and Mainstrasse of Northern Kentucky.

COLLEGE OF MOUNT ST. JOSEPH 

Mission in Action 

The College of Mount St. Joseph is a Catholic academic community 

grounded in the spiritual values and vision of its founders, the Sisters 

of Charity. At the heart of the Mount’s mission and heritage is an 

emphasis on ethical leadership through service. Ethical leadership 

celebrates the return of virtue, character and personal honor to their 

rightful place as the foundation of education. This commitment inspires 

the College’s interdisciplinary liberal arts and professional curricula, which 

equips students to live with integrity, to promote justice, and to seek the 

truth in their professions and communities. 

Service opportunities complement academics and student life while 

fostering a culture of learning informed by charity. In the Service Learning 

Program, students apply classroom knowledge while volunteering in social 

and environmental settings to feed the hungry, build homes for Habitat for 

Humanity and comfort the elderly. The Cultural Immersion program offers 

the chance to live, learn and work amidst other cultures. In serving others, 

students cultivate a greater understanding of social problems, an appreciation 

for the cultural diversity of other people, as well as a commitment to 

volunteerism and an understanding of its connection to citizenship. 

Campus Ministry infuses all aspects of faith into the Mount’s culture and 

celebrates spiritual exploration. Faith sharing programs, Mass, retreats, and 

other planned events help awaken and deepen an awareness of God’s love 

and presence within the campus community. Inspired by Catholic social 

teaching, Campus Ministry encourages students to identify their gifts and 

to use them for the common good through activities such as Pizza and 

Ponder, Homelessness Awareness Week, and 30-Hour Famine.

2013 Season Outlook 

The Lions are coming off of a sub .500 season, including a 4-12 mark in 

conference, which put them into an eighth place tie in the conference. 

The Lions started the conference season in 2012 with a 4-3 mark, but 

suffered a losing streak that kept them from making the HCAC Tournament. 

Head Coach Beth Goderwis returns this spring to lead the team from the 

dugout. She enters her 12th season overall as head coach for the Mount. 

Prior to that, Goderwis was a Lions’ assistant coach. 

While the Lions finish was not where Goderwis wanted it to be in 2012, 

she believes that her young team gained valuable experience playing 

through a tough season. She’s hoping that after a solid off-season of work 

by her team, numerous talented and experienced returners back for 2013, 

and a solid group of first-year recruits coming in, the team is ready to turn 

around their results. Their goals as usual are to finish in the top four in the 

conference, and earn a bid to the HCAC Tournament. 

Goderwis believes that if the Lions use the experience they earned last 

season, and cut back on mistakes, as well as improve in other areas, they 

will compete in every game this spring. 

“I really think if we clean up our errors, by cutting those in half, and 

work on our slugging percentage we have a very good chance of making the 

conference tournament’’ Goderwis states. “We were very young last year and 

now we are a year older. I really think we will be a much better team. We 

had 12 freshmen last year, and sometimes we had seven freshmen on the 

field at one time.” 

Not only does this season’s team have added experience, Goderwis 

believes it has talent. In addition, the Lions have a new assistant coach 

this spring – Dan Benjamin. 

“I think this team as a whole is more talented than any team in the last 

several years.’’ the Lions’ head coach added. “We have very strong hitters 

and very good defensive players. We just have to get stronger as a pitching 

staff. We can’t have the earned run average we’ve had in the last two years. 

I believe we have the talent to do this.” 

The Mount completed the 2012 season with a 6.25 ERA after turning in a 

6.32 team ERA the season before. 

The last time the Lions had a winning record in the conference was 2008, 

when they finished 10-6. The Lions made the conference tournament that 

season, and also won two games in the HCAC Tournament. Coach Goderwis 

and her team are aiming to get the team back to that level. 

“We have not had a strong season in the past three years, so we are not 

really thought of as a team that is strong,’’ Goderwis added. “We need to 

change that this season. I think a lot of teams do not respect us, and that 

makes me very angry. I think we have the talent this season to produce 

wins which will bring back that respect.” 

Two former All-Conference players return to the team this year. 

In 2011, senior Tanya Sefton was named to the All-HCAC second team as an 

outfielder. Last year Sefton led the team in walks, and was second in stolen 

bases with six, while also hitting .253. Last season, sophomore catcher 

Lindsay Griffith was named Honorable Mention HCAC. Griffith led the team 

in doubles in 2012 with 12, and was one of only three Mount players to hit 

a home run. She also hit .290 on the year. 

The following is a position-by-position look at the Lions’ 2013 team, 

with comments provided by Coach Goderwis. 


2013 Season Outlook 

PITCHING 

Last year inexperience plagued the Lions at this position. All five pitchers 

who saw action for the Mount in 2012, however, are back. At the top of 

the rotation is senior Kim McElhinny, who led the Lions in appearances last 

year with 19, including 17 games as a starting pitcher. Four sophomores 

will be the other pitchers for the Lions. Among that group are: Leslie Biggs, 

who led the Lions in ERA last year while appearing in 19 games; Danielle 

Hausfeld, Erica D’Arcy and Taylor McElhinny. Both Hausfeld and Biggs had 

14 or more appearances last year. Hausfield was second on the team last 

season in ERA, while D’Arcy posted the team’s lone save. Taylor McElhinny 

pitched just 13.2 innings last season, as she saw the majority of her 

playing time at third base for the Mount. 

“I am expecting really great things out of all of our pitchers,’’ Goderwis 

says. “Biggs and Hausfeld were hurt some last year, too, and did not get as 

many as starts as I would have liked. They are both healthy and I expect 

them to do a great job for us this year. All of our pitchers will be used as 

starters, and in relief this season.” 

CATCHER 

Griffith returns for her second season for the Lions in 2013, after a solid 

all-around campaign last spring. She started and played in 35 games last 

season and was the team’s lone player receiving all-conference status. Two 

freshmen, Becky Owens and Pam Wisniewski, will be the primary backups at 

catcher. Goderwis is excited to have depth at catcher so she will have the 

chance to rest Griffith when needed. All three of the catchers also have the 

ability to play either of the corner infield positions, says Goderwis. 

OUTFIELD 

The outfield will be led again by Sefton, who looks to hold down a starting 

spot in either center or right field. Playing alongside Sefton will be 

sophomore Megan Erdman, who started 38 games for the Lions last year, 

and Moore, a sophomore, who was third on the team in RBI last year. 

Others players that may see time in the outfield this spring for the Lions 

are: sophomore transfer Paige Norton, junior Harley Huston; and freshmen 

Sami Ives and Katie Mitchell. 

DESIGNATED HITTER 

Goderwis says that the team does not have a specific athlete in mind for 

this position. Offense is what the team seeks, so Goderwis will be looking 

for a strong batter in this spot. 

Once again the Mount will have a very challenging schedule this season, 

inside and outside the conference. 

“Our schedule is very tough this season, just as it has been in the past 

years,’’ Goderwis added. “I feel that you have to play good teams to make 

you better.” 

The Lions are scheduled to begin the new season on March 3 at home 

in a doubleheader against Marietta College. Following a March 4 scheduled 

doubleheader also at home against Oberlin College, the Lions will travel to 

Kissimmee, Florida for their annual Spring Break trip, where they will play 

eight games over four days. The Lions begin HCAC play on March 29 at 2012 

HCAC champion Anderson University, and will play 16 conference games, with 

conference action concluding at home on April 27 against Franklin College. 

FIRST BASE 

Last year the Lions used Kim McElhinny and D’Arcy as their first basemen, 

and are expected to use that combo again at first when they are not 

pitching. Last year Kim McElhinny was second on the team in at-bats, 

hitting .241, and starting all 39 games. She gives the team needed power 

in the line-up. D’Arcy was second on the team in putouts while playing first 

base. Goderwis adds that Taylor McElhinny, Griffith and Heather Seurkamp 

might also see some time at first base this spring. 

SECOND BASE 

The starting second base position will most likely be held down again by 

returning junior Katie Gregg. Last year Gregg started 33 of the 39 games, 

and she is back for her third season. Two freshmen, Megan James and Nikki 

Martin, also look to push for playing time at this spot, leaving Goderwis 

and the Lions’ coaching staff pleased with the depth at this position. 

SHORTSTOP 

At shortstop the Lions return sophomore Mallory Wright, who started 34 

games for the Lions last year and led the team in batting average, hitting 

at a .364 clip. She was also first on the team in hits with 39, first in stolen 

bases with 15, and second in slugging percentage at .404. Backing up 

Wright will be sophomore Ashley Moore, who played a variety of positions 

last year, and James. 

THIRD BASE 

Taylor McElhinny and Seurkamp saw most of the playing time last season for 

the Mount at the hot corner and will compete to start there this spring, as 

will freshman Claire Wehby, who Goderwis is excited to see play. Seurkamp hit 

.268 last season in 41 at-bats, while Taylor McElhinny gives the team good 

power at the position, leading the team in 2013 with two home runs and 

19 RBI. Wisniewski and Owens might also see time at this spot. 

Mount sophomore pitcher/infielder Taylor McElhinny led the Lions in 2012 with two 

home runs and 19 RBI.

in stolen bases with 28, needs just two more steals to move into sixth 

all-time. She started 35 games last season in the outfield for the Mount, 

her career-high, and is expected to hold down a starting outfield position 

again this coming season, either in center field or right field. Head Coach 

Beth Goderwis says that her fourth-year player needs to utilize her speed 

this season to get on base for the Lions, to put pressure on the defense. 

Goderwis adds that Sefton most likely will hit in either one of the first two 

spots of the batting order, or ninth this spring. Tanya is the daughter of

The Mount in the HCAC 

The College of Mount St. Joseph Lions head into their 15th season as a 

member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. Other conference 

members include: Anderson University, Bluffton University, Defiance 

College, Franklin College, Hanover College, Manchester University, Rose 

-Hulman Institute of Technology, and Transylvania University. 

In 1999, the Lions ended their season fourth in the HCAC regular season 

standings. They also placed third in the HCAC Tournament. The team 

placed in the top three in batting average (.325), slugging percentage 

(.404), and ERA (2.50). April King, Anita Murphy and Cari Stroub were 

named to the All Conference Team in 1999. 

In 2000 the Mount placed fifth in the HCAC regular season. The team 

was third in runs scored with 74 runs. The Lions also tied for second place 

in doubles (22) and triples (5). The Lions were eliminated in the first 

round of the HCAC Tournament. Following the season, Stephanie Schram 

and Angela Von Gries were named to the All -Conference Team. 

2001 was a great year for the Lions as they tied for second place, 7-5, 

in the HCAC regular season (along with Anderson and Bluffton). The Lions 

advanced to the finals of the HCAC Tournament, but lost to the eventual 

champion Manchester, 2-1 and 4-0 (championship game). Christy Stath 

was awarded HCAC Most Valuable Player and All-Conference. Schram and 

Von Gries were once again named to the All-Conference Team. Stath and 

Von Gries were also named Players of the Week during the season. The 

Lions led the conference in doubles (19). 

The Lions’ success continued to build in 2002, as they captured second 

place behind Transylvania University in the regular season standings. 

Advancing to the HCAC Tournament finals with wins over Manchester and 

Defiance, the Lions beat Anderson in two games, capturing their first ever 

HCAC Championship title. With that win, the Mount earned a bid in the 

NCAA III Regional Tournament. Senior Julie Wise was named Most Valuable 

Player in the conference, and freshman Kati Stroub earned the Freshman 

of the Year award. Joining them on the All -Conference team were seniors 

Christy Stath and Stephanie Schram. 

The 2003 season marked the third straight season that the Mount 

claimed second place in the HCAC. The Lions repeated as HCAC Tournament 

Champions, sweeping through the tournament undefeated, including a 

championship win against Defiance College. Kati Stroub tossed a 1 0 no 

hitter against Anderson in the tournament. The Lions once again advanced 

to the NCAA III Regional Tournament. Stroub, Carrie Higgins and Annie 

Neumann were selected All-Conference while Erin Mallory gained HCAC 

Player of the Week honors. Jacqueline Gering, Lori Gray, Sondra Roberto, 

and Neumann were named Academic All-Conference. 

The Mount got off to a fast start in conference play in 2004, sweeping 

Anderson in a doubleheader to open HCAC action, they then dropped three 

straight, including a doubleheader at Franklin College. After sweeping 

Manchester College, the Mount stood at 6-4 in the HCAC. They finished 

their conference schedule by splitting doubleheaders against Transylvania 

University and Hanover College. The Lions, picked for second in the 

Preseason Coaches’ Poll, finished tied for third with Franklin and captured 

the fourth seed for the HCAC Tournament. They dropped their first game in 

the HCAC Tournament but rebounded to win three straight to advance to 

the championship game where they were defeated by Defiance College, 6-5 

in 10 innings. Kati Stroub, Annie Neumann and Carrie Higgins were named 

All-Conference and Megan Vincent received an HCAC Player of the Week 

award. Jennifer Esterman, Jackie Gering, Amy Sunderman, and Neumann 

each received Academic All Conference recognition. 

The 2005 season was yet another winning year for the Lions. With 

18 wins and 14 losses, the Mount finished third in the HCAC, with 10 

conference victories. The Lions season ended with two early losses in the 

HCAC Tournament to Defiance College, 11-9 and Bluffton College, 7-1. 

Leading the way for the Lions was senior outfielder Annie Neumann, senior 

third baseman Carrie Higgins and junior outfielder Amy Sunderman. All 

three were voted to the HCAC All-Conference Team. Neumann, Sunderman 

and Katie Stroub also took home HCAC Player of the Week Honors, in three 

consecutive weeks. 

In 2006, the Lions finished with an overall record of 17-24, but they 

came in fourth in the conference with a 7-7 mark. They went on to 

win three games in the HCAC Tournament, en route to the conference 

semifinals, where their season ended against Anderson University. Leading 

the way for the Lions during the conference schedule was senior catcher 

Alicia Johnson, who earned a spot on the HCAC All-Conference Team. 

Johnson batted .318 and started 37 games. Senior pitcher Jennifer 

Esterman picked up an HCAC Player of the Week award during the season. 

The Lions slipped to seventh in the HCAC standings in 2007 with a 7-9 

mark, missing out on making the HCAC Tournament. There were, however, 

some solid performances turned in by Mount players. In conference games 

only, the Mount finished first in innings pitched, first in runners picked 

off, tied for second in stolen bases, third in fielding percentage, and 

fourth in ERA. Erin Brogan was first in the conference in stolen bases 

while Randi Yaeger was second in doubles. Yaeger was the team’s lone 

representative on the All-Conference team while Sheena Hundley, Casey 

Downey and Brogan picked up HCAC Player of the Week honors during the 

season. 

The Mount recorded a 10-6 conference mark in 2008, tying them for 

the second best record in the conference and gaining them the fourth 

seed for the HCAC Tournament. The Lions began the conference slate of 

games with a sweep over Anderson University and also added doubleheader 

sweeps against Transylvania, Franklin, and Hanover (to end the 

HCAC regular season). The Mount went 2-2 in the Conference Tournament, 

opening with a 1-0 loss to Rose-Hulman, but then capturing victories over 

Bluffton (6-3) and Rose-Hulman (7-4) to propel them to the Championship 

game against Defiance, which they lost 11-5 in 13 innings. Freshman 

second baseman Megan McCullough and senior first baseman Katie 

Cammerer were chosen All-HCAC during the season, while senior outfielder 

Ashleigh Stallkamp and freshman pitcher Katie Cohill picked up HCAC 

Player of the Week honors in 2008. Stallkamp tied for first in the HCAC in 

home runs while McCullough was second in walks and on base percentage. 

Cohill was in the top two of six different pitching categories in HCAC play, 

including first in saves, games finished and games relieved. Sophomore 

third baseman Casey Downey was second in the conference in assists. In 

the team statistics, the Lions placed in the top five in 12 different top 

offensive categories, including first in at bats and second in hit by pitch 

and home runs, while the pitching staff was first in saves and second in 

innings pitched in conference action. 

The Lions had an up-and-down season as a team in conference play 

for the 2009 season. They started the season winning only once out of 

their first six HCAC games, and then rolled to five straight wins. Following 

that were three straight, 1-0 losses (two to Defiance College and one to 

Bluffton University). The Mount, however, rebounded to take the final two 

games of their conference schedule, over Hanover College, to finish with 

a .500 record at 8-8. In conference games only, the Mount ranked third 

in team batting average while Megan McCullough was second in on-base 

percentage, second in walks and fourth in batting average. Casey Waldman 

tied for the most stolen bases in the conference while teammate Casey 

Brookbank was second in earned run average. Kristina Dennett was third 

in walks. McCullough, Waldman and Brookbank were selected Second Team 

All-HCAC while Dennett was named Honorable Mention All Conference. 

The 2010 season saw the Lions finish in eighth place, in the conference. 

After starting the season with six straight conference losses, including 

22 


two by one run, the Mount recorded doubleheader splits against both 

Defiance College and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. They completed 

the season with a doubleheader sweep over Hanover College. Nell Wilson, 

Kathleen Horn, and Tanya Sefton were all selected Second Team All- 

Conference while teammate Casey Brookbank was chosen Honorable 

Mention, in addition to picking up an HCAC Pitcher of the Week award. 

Wilson was tied for first in doubles while Brookbank was fourth in innings 

pitched in the conference. 

In 2011, the Lions jumped up a spot in the HCAC standings, moving 

from eighth place in 2010 to seventh place. Two Lions, Tanya Sefton 

and Kathleen Horn were named to the Second Team All-HCAC for their 

performances during the season. Horn also received Hitter of the Week 

honors along with teammate Katie Cohill who was named Pitcher of the 

Week honors. Horn hit .550 during conference play, which was good 

for second-best in the HCAC. Horn finished in the top five of four other 

offensive statistical categories during conference games. The Mount 

finished third in the conference in fielding percentage with an impressive 

.956 mark and fifth in earned run average at 4.78. 

In 2012 the Lions finished with six conference wins, including a 

doubleheader sweep of HCAC-foe Hanover College. Freshman Lindsay Griffith 

was named Honorable Mention All-HCAC. The Lions had two players who 

finished with a 1.000 fielding percentage tying for the conference lead. 

Erica D’Arcy finished first among eligible pitchers with four walks given up.
