Baseball Schreiner baseball had a tough first year under new head coach Ryan Brisbin. The Mountaineers showed definite improvement in pitching, led by junior Matt Valley, but struggled offensively all year. The defense was very strong early, struggled mightily in the middle of the season and then rebounded at the end of the year. The team finished 4-17 in american Southwest Conference play. next year the transformation in the program will begin as Brisbin welcomes his first full recruiting class. he already has 25 commitments for next year so the team will be very young, but there should be strong competition throughout the roster. On the academic front, Schreiner baseball was the most improved program in the department and claimed the Outstanding Team GPa award for the 2011-12 year. In the spring semester, the team had a remarkable overall GPa of 3.08 to lead all men’s squads and 20 of the 29 players earned a 3.00 GPa or better in the semester—all records for the program. Softball SU softball had a challenging season. head coach Don Green resigned with six weeks remaining in the season and assistant coach Joe anders took over. The Mountaineers finished the year 9-15 in the conference but were a much more inspired and competitive team towards the end of the year. Junior Callie Caesar led the team in hitting with a .360 average and freshman Jana Masters had a team low era of 3.20. Schreiner softball also won the Outstanding Team GPa award for 2011-12 and had a semester GPa of 3.32. Su hired Jessica Peterka in May to become the new head coach and anders will continue to be a strong assistant coach. Peterka’s challenge will be to replenish a short roster for the 2012-13 season and with not a lot of time to do so. She does have a core group of talented returning players to build around. Men’s Tennis The squad was made up of first-year players at every spot except one this year, which was not a winning combination. But that youth should mean a very different result in 2013, as coach Wade Morgan adds his first recruiting class to this program. eight new players are committed to coming this fall and new faces should be a very common theme in matches. freshman austin Carrola was the team’s best player throughout the year but he’ll face strong challenges from many of the incoming recruits. freshman Stephen rogers will be back in the fold next fall and will help the team’s depth. This program should return quickly to its more successful years like those it enjoyed in the mid-00s now that the recruiting pipeline has been re-established. 20 Summer 2012 SCENE Standing left to right, reagan reed, Dan Kuntzelman, nolan Besetzny, Cory reneau, ethan Catalani, Brad Thomas, Colton Mendenhall, Chris Whitehead, adley Canales and Chris Migl.

Women’s Golf The team finished the season where they were expected to, third in the American Southwest Conference, and the program looks to be poised on the edge of an exciting new era. Senior Sarah Stillwell and junior Gabby rosales led the team in 2011-12 and both earned all-aSC honors again this year. Stillwell became the first Mountaineer golfer to be a four-time all-aSC award winner. The excitement, though, is for the future of the program. This fall, rosales and two strong freshmen from this past year—Melanie Dean and Maddie Scheidler—will be joined by what is easily the program’s biggest and strongest freshman recruiting class to date. The five (possibly six) incoming freshmen should at least do for the women’s program what that same sized group did for the Su men’s team in 2011-12. although the program will be extremely young (likely eight of the top nine players will be either freshmen or sophomores), a quick transition to college play by the newbies could vault Su into the top-20 or higher in 2013. Men’s Golf The SU men got off to a very strong start in the fall season, but didn’t fare as well in the spring. The team finished fourth at the 2012 aSC Championships, which is where the team was slotted going into the event, but expectations after the strong fall season seemed to weigh the team down. In the fall, the team rose to a ranking as high as no. 16 in the nation. Cheyne Kendall and Jimmy Keener, both freshmen, were tournament medalists in the fall. Despite the drop-off in the spring, the Mountaineers were successful in adding the no. 4-ranked freshmen recruiting class in the nation in 2012 and all five rookies have already made an impact. Two strong recruits join the returning players this fall and both should compete for a starting spot right away. This team could be one of the deepest and most competitive in the conference next year but will still have only three upperclassmen on the roster. If the new and older players compete as successfully in tournament play as they do in qualifying, this should be a top-20 program by spring of next year. Junior andy Bell became a first-time academic all-american in 2012. Women’s Tennis The Schreiner women’s tennis team struggled again this year, but a new era has started, with new head coach Wade Morgan taking a much more active approach with the women’s team. although the record was similar to the past few years, team competitiveness was quite a bit better. his first recruiting class will arrive this fall and features an unheard-of seven new players. To say that the program will be very different in 2013 is an understatement as there will be strong competition for starting spots from now on, which should mean significant change in the competitiveness of the program. Sophomore Teresa Gaitan was the no. 1 player in singles and she teamed with freshman haley richards at no. 1 doubles. The no. 2 doubles team of juniors Kelley Spahn and Lindsay fox were the program’s strongest. front row, left to right, Gabby rosales, Simone Date and Katlynd Imbody.
