2008 Season recap
The Eagles were led by a talented group of players, featuring seven All-Conference players. The Eagles’ pitching staff was well represented in post-season awards with McCall Kenney and Chelsea Fuemmeler earning All-Conference honors. Chelsea was also voted pitcher of the year and earned First Team All-Region honors. The offense was led by Katie Dove, a First Team selection; she was the team leader in average, RBIs, and home runs. Jessica Taylor, Annie Duffner, Surina Howard, and Jessica Henderson were also conference selections and played a huge role in the Eagles’ success. The Eagles will look to defend their conference title on the newly constructed Cox softball complex. This on-campus facility will give the Lady Eagles their own field for the first time in the program’s history. The off-season will bring several talented recruits, including players from Colorado, Arizona, and Kansas, as well as several local Missouri All-State players. Strength and conditioning coach, Nate Breland, will continue to work with the program and should bring even more success in ’09.
