2010 reVieW The Emporia State softball team had another successful season in 2010 win-ning their eighth straight MIAA tourna-ment championship and their fifth MIAA regular season championship in six years. They then advanced to their seventh straight NCAA Division II South Central Regional.

In the post-season the Hornets had their first Daktronics National Player of the Year, earned their third first team All-American and MIAA Player of the Year.

The Hornets opened their year on the road in Colorado where they earned splits with Colorado Mines and Regis. The Hornets would then travel to Texas where they went 5-2 and earned wins over then #17 Abilene Christian and #19 Angelo State.

After going 2-1 over their next three games all on the road ESU took a trip to #12 Central Oklahoma. The Hornets took both games of the double header outscor-ing the Bronchos 9-3 over the two games.

ESU would go 3-2 in Joplin before start-ing MIAA play. ESU would win their next 23 straight games, including a huge doubleheader sweep of UNO, in MIAA play before dropping two match-ups in the MIAA Crossover.

ESU’s only conference loss on the season would come on the road at Fort Hays State as they finished MIAA play 18-2 and earned the top seed in the MIAA tourna-ment.

Prior to the tournament weekend kick-ing off eight Hornets were named to the All-MIAA team. Campbell earned Player of the Year honors while Paige Laden-burger was named Freshman of the Year and Kristi Bredbenner earned Coach of the Year honors.

Ladenburger and Campbell were joined on the first team by Linda Ketter in the outfield. Abby Hughes and Angela Mahan earned second team honors after hitting a combined 25 home runs on the season. Jennifer Heerey earned second team all-conference honors.

Freshmen Amanda Self and Jessica Brew-er both earned honorable mention honors heading into Championship Weekend.

ESU opened the tournament with an 8-0 run-rule win over Washburn. This would set up a second round match-up against Fort Hays State, a team they had gone 0-3 against during the season. The Hornets jumped out to a 3-0 lead and would hold off the Tigers for a 3-2 win. Jennifer Heerey earned the win while Karley Schmelzer came on for the save.

In the semi-finals of the conference tour-nament match-up ESU trailed UNO 3-1 heading into the top of the seventh inning. Abby Hughes and Amanda Self each hit home runs for the Hornets as they took the game 4-3 to advance to the MIAA Championship.

UNO fought through the other bracket to become their opponent. After dropping the first championship 6-3, ESU exploded for six runs in the second inning of game two. That would prove to be more than enough run support as they went on to the 10-1 win. The drive was sparked by Campbell’s grand slam in the second inning as Paige Ladenburger earned the win for ESU.

After winning the MIAA Tournament Championship for their eighth straight time and ninth time since it began in 1982. The Hornets earned the right to host the NCAA South Central Sub-Regional.

The Hornets opened regional play against Texas Woman’s University. Paige Lad-enburger threw a no-hitter as ESU only needed three hits to push across a run in a 1-0 win. That one run came on a walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh by Abby Hughes.

In their second round game ESU led 4-0 early before Angelo State responded with seven runs before a four hour rain delay. Angelo would come out of the rain delay and wrap up a 10-5 win.

After taking a 7-0 win over Texas Wom-an’s ESU would face Angelo State in the sub-regional championship game.

The Hornets jumped out to a 3-0 lead be-fore ASU put up five runs in the final two innings to pull out a 5-3 win.

Miranda Campbell, Abby Hughes and Paige Ladenburger all earned first team All-Region honors from the NFCA. Jen-nifer Heerey and Angela Mahan earned second team All-Region honors.

Campbell would then earn All-American honors from the NFCA and Daktronics, by whom she was named the National Player of the Year becoming the first Hornet to earn that honor.

Angela Mahan hit .397 with 14 home runs and 48 RBI for the Hornets last season.

Paige Ladenburger went 19-6 with a 1.62 ERA and was named the MIAA Freshman of the Year.

Over the past 95 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation . MIAA student-athletes have won 12 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, 153 individual national titles . The MIAA currently con-ducts championships in eight sports for men and eight for women .

For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf . The women compete for titles in volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis .

The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II conference changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association .

The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State University and Washburn University became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA .

The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institutions . Of those original members, the University of Central Missouri, Truman State University, and Northwest Missouri State University still remain a part of the MIAA .

The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri State), Northwest, Southeast Missouri State University and Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State) .

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: the Missouri School of Mines (later the University of Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln University in 1970, and the University of Missouri-St . Louis in 1980 .

The 1980s brought the biggest changes in the con-ference . In 1981, Southwest Missouri State University opted to move to NCAA Division I and the MIAA appointed its first full-time commissioner, Ken Jones,

in July .He would be in the position for 16 years, retiring

in 1997 . Former Gulf South and Metro commissioner Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007 . Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year . Dr . Bob Boerigter was named the new commissioner in late 2010 .

Southwest Baptist University brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989 . Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern State College (now University) and Missouri Western State College (now University) °© formerly members of the Central States Intercollegiate Conference °© began competition in the 1989-90 season .

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season to move on to NCAA Division I, and was replaced by Emporia State University in the 1991-92 season .

In August 1991, Judy Willson was hired as the MIAA’s first full-time sports information director . She left in 1994, and was succeeded by Matt Newbery, formerly the assistant sports information director at Pittsburg State . He became the assistant to the com-missioner for media relations in 2005 . Kellen Coleman replaced Newberry as Director of Communications for the 2008-09 season . A third full-time staff member was added in 2005, as former Emporia State track and field athlete Natasha Oakes was hired as the assistant to the commissioner for compliance . Larry House joined the staff in August 2007 as coordinator of external affairs . Renee Hultgren replaced Natasha Oakes in December of 2010 .

The current membership of the MIAA is at 11 schools, with the departure of Missouri-St . Louis in 1996 and Missouri-Rolla in 2005, the forfeiture of membership by Lincoln in 1999 and the addition of Fort Hays State University in 2006 and the University of Nebraska-Omaha in 2008 . Lincoln re-joines the league this season to make the league a 12-team league .

The Emporia State Athletic Department had another outstanding year in competition as well as in the classrooms, stands and com-munity during 2009-10. ESU finished 25th in the final Learfield Sports Director’s Cup standings, highlighted by the Lady Hornets capturing the school’s first NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championship. Over 120 ESU student-athletes earned academic recognition from the MIAA for maintaining a 3.00 cumulative GPA and over 40 were presented D-II Athletic Directors Association Academic Achievement Awards. For the seventh year in a row the Hornets drew over 100,000 fans to their home athletic events with three teams ranked in the top 15 nationally. Student-athletes from ESU’s 15 sports teams contributed over 2,100 hours of community service during the past year.

Emporia’s Jones Park was the site of the 2009 MIAA Cross Country Championships. Will Hohmeier and Skyler Delmott each earned honorable mention All-MIAA as Emporia State placed fifth in the men’s team standings while the women placed eighth.

Since ESU does not host indoor track & field meets, basketball is the only game in town when it comes to winter sports. After finishing second in the MIAA during the regular season and get-ting eliminated in the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament, the Lady Hornets went on a six game winning streak to capture the schools first NCAA Division II National Championship. ESU de-feated Ft. Lewis College 65-53 in front of a standing room only crowd at the St. Joseph Mo. Civic Arena.

“YAPS, YELLOW JACKETS AND HORNETS”

Here come the Hornets! Go Hornets Go! How did Emporia State University really get to known as the Hornets?

A casual conversation between Vic Trusler and an Emporia Gazette reporter named Cecil Carle led the establishment of the Hornets as Emporia State’s mascot. In the early 1930’s, the Teachers College students were called the Yaps. It is uncertain why the students were called that except popular legend suggests that because they were teachers, they did a lot of “yapping.” In any case, most of the students were not fond of the moniker.

Trusler, a legendary figure on campus in the 1930’s, and coach at Roosevelt High School, and Carle, without design, were instrumental in getting the name changed. Carle was seeking information on the official name of the Roosevelt High School team. Trusler suggested he call the Roosevelt team the Bluejackets since they wore blue jerseys.

In that momentous conversation, Trusler further commented that the students at the Teacher College really did not like being called the Yaps. Instead he suggested they be called the Yellow Jackets because the men wore yellow sweaters with black stripes on the sleeves. And, like the insect, they had quite a sting to them. Nothing further was said, but the next Gazette article about the Teachers College referred to the students as Yellow Jackets.

The evolution of the name Yellow Jacket to Hornet is almost anti-climatic. A lack of newspaper space forced the Yellow Jacket to be shortened to Harnet. For a while the two names were interchanged and used throughout the state.

To further cement the Hornet tradition, the football team received new uniforms in 1936. They were almost entirely black prompting some to suggest that the team be called the Mud Daubers, which are yellowjackets, which are hornets, which game more sting to the legend.

“Corky” first appeared on the scene in 1934 when Paul Edwards, then a sopho-more, made what he thought was a more representative figure of the school mascot than the strereotyped hornet being used. He entered it in a contest and finished second. Not to be discouraged Edwards redrew his hornet and showed it to Ray Maul, then manager of the Memorial Union, who thought he could “use the buzzard.” The Corky figure would soon become popular on campus.

Edwards liked his Corky so much he patented the bug in 1936, which dated its 50th anniversary to 1986. During Homecoming 1987, Edwards dedicated a Corky the Hornet statue he sculpted and is now on display in the Memorial Union Book-store. A large number of Corky’s cropped up beginning in 2003 during a Parade of Corkys throughout Emporia and many of them are still on display around campus and in the community.

MIAA Game Environment Award of ExcellenceIn response to the creation of the Division II game environment initiative, ESU created “The Sportsmanship Statement”, which is presented by a student-athlete either live, via audio recordings, or filmed and shown on a video board to the fans before the start of home football, soc-cer, volleyball, basketball, softball and baseball contests . The statement encourages fans to cheer for their team while also showing respect to other players, fans, coaches and officials . In addition to the Sportsmanship Statement, the ESU SAAC also created the Sportsmanship Creed, which is displayed in each team’s locker room . The Creed was designed to not only convey what it means to be a student-athlete at the institution, but to address how student-athletes should conduct themselves within the campus, community and on the field of play by reaffirming the ideas of Honor, Outstanding, Respect, Nobility, Enthusiasm, Teamwork and Support, better known as H .O .R .N .E .T .S .

MIAA SAAC Mentor of the YearDr . John Rich, Associate Dean of the ESU School of Business and the Faculty Athletics Rep at ESU, has assisted student-athletes to maintain their eligibility by reviewing NCAA rules they must follow and helping them complete their eligibility paperwork . He is constantly in contact with stu-dent-athletes either in the classroom or at sporting events . This year, he suggested the initiation of a chapter of the national athletic honor society, Chi Alpha Sigma, at ESU . Not only did he help organize the charter chapter and its initiating ceremonies, but he also made a financial donation to pay for the entry fee into the national organization . Dr . Rich was President of the MIAA from 2001-2003, and he has been a member and chair of many different MIAA committees . After attending an NCAA leadership conference with two student-athletes, he helped organize the first Senior Prom at ESU . It is greatly due to his efforts that this event continues successfully even after the originating student-athletes have graduated and moved on .

Graduation Rate Differential AwardThe MIAA uses the graduation rate information from the Department of Education to compare its student-athletes academic success with that of the general student body . ESU had the graduation rate highest above its student body rate with 70 percent of its 2002-03 freshmen on athletically-related aid earn a degree within six years, which was 26 percentage points above the general student body rate .

MEMORIAL UNION RENOVATIONSThe process to get the renovation going has been a long one with the first meeting about the project occurring in

1999 . Still, the effort didn’t start in earnest until the fall of 2007 . The current renovation plans aim to make the union into a “living room space” for ESU students, ESU President Michael Lane said .

The Memorial Union has a long and storied history on the ESU campus . Originally opened in 1925, the union was built as a tribute to the students who fought and died in World War I . Since then, the union has had four additions .

“I think it’s really critical to our current and future students,” Lane said . “It really is supposed to serve as a functional meeting place, a social place, a gathering place, an eating place for our students as well as our faculty and staff .”

“We want to upgrade the windows and lighting to make them environmentally friendly,” Lane said, “as well as more efficient heating and cooling that will be environmentally friendly . The finishes will be done with environmentally friendly materials as well . We want to make the building as green as we can as well as comfortable for our students, faculty and staff .”

In addition, the university is looking to move its admissions office to the union .

“(The union) will become the university’s front door,” Lane said, “and it needs to be attractive to current and prospec-tive students .”

In the classroom, Emporia State is ranked in the top 20 in the nation in producing Academic All-Americans in the 21st century . The athletic and academic success has combined to place every ESU program in the top 25 in national attendance at some point during Weiser’s ten year tenure .

The Hornets have won 23 MIAA regular season team championships and have finished in the top 20 of Division II in eleven different sports under Weiser’s leadership .

ESU Athletics had five top 20 team finishes in 2009-10 as ten of 15 programs made the NCAA post-season .
