LINCOLN UNIVERSITY 2016 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDELINCOLN UNIVERSITY 2016 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE LINCOLN UNIVERSITY 2016 SOFTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Mission StatementThe mission of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at

Lincoln University shall be to provide National Collegiate Athlet-ics Association (NCAA) Division II programs for men and women that are equally characterized by excellence. The primary phi-losophy of the Department of Athletics is that our staff and pro-gram develop and hold the concept of the student-athlete at the highest level of significance.

This important standard must be encouraged and supported and never compromised, thus emphasizing to the student-ath-lete the importance of not only obtaining a degree, but also in reaching full academic and athletic potential. The Intercolle-giate Athletic program shall reflect due regard for the athletic traditions of Lincoln University, as well as future promise. The program shall fall within Lincoln’s abilities to provide appropri-ate facilities, along with the location, allows Lincoln to schedule conveniently and competitively and fall within financial capa-bilities of Lincoln University to fund adequately.

The goal of the Department of Athletics is consistent with the core mission of the university: to provide excellent educational opportunities for a diverse student population. Our student-athletes will be viewed as students first, and only then as ath-letes. The department will focus on producing graduates who are successful, well-rounded and prepared to make positive contributions to society.

Academic achievement in the classroom, together with the development of character, individual and team skills, the will to win and a sense of fair play and sportsmanship in athletic competition determines distinction in intercollegiate athletics programs. Such distinction is a source of pride and enthusiasm for Lincoln University, among its constituent groups including students, faculty and staff, alumni, community and friends at all levels of interest.

The Department of Athletics will strive to be a leader in areas of ethics, non-discrimination, diversity and authentic fiscal integrity throughout the Lincoln University campus, the state of Missouri and the country. At the same time, student-athletes must be given the greatest opportunity possible to strive for the highest athletic standards through the best preparation, motivation and support.

Hein batted in 35 games, during that senior campaign, making 31 starts, and had five games with at least two hits. Hein also made 13 appearances in the circle, pitching 22.0 innings and striking out eight.

During her junior year in 2012, Hein was one of Lincoln’s key util-ity players, appearing in 41 games with 37 starts as an infielder or designated hitter. Her biggest play of the year came in a road win against Lindenwood, as Hein keyed a Lincoln comeback with a seventh-inning grand slam that led to a Blue Tiger win.

That season, Hein recorded 23 hits, including two home runs and a double, and tallied 11 RBI while scoring seven times. Hein also pitched 31.2 innings, going 2-3 with 16 strikeouts.

Before transferring into Lincoln, Hein played two years at Missouri Baptist, posting a 4-0 record inside the circle with one save. Hein finished with a combined two-year ERA of 2.30 and an opposing batting average of .230.

Hein also enjoyed a stellar high school career at Fulton, setting a team record with 19 wins as a junior en route to earning all-state honors. Hein finished her pitching career with 42 victories and was twice selected as the team’s most valuable player while earning most valuable pitcher honors three times.

An special education/elementary education major, Hein graduated from Lincoln with a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

MIAA Opponents




About the MIAA The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, a 15-member conference (beginning in 2012-13) of NCAA Division II institutions in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, was first organized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Over the past 100 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 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, more than 160 individual national titles. The MIAA currently conducts championships in 10 sports for men and nine for women.

For the men, champions are crowned in football, soccer, cross country, basketball, wrestling, 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 confer-ence 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 re-gional Missouri state colleges: Central, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Mis-souri 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 conference. In 1981, Southwest Mis-souri 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 suc-ceeded McFillen in July of that year and served as commissioner until September of 2010. Dr. Bob Boerigter succeeded Johnson in September 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.

On July 29, 2010, the MIAA CEO Council voted to extend invitations to the University of Central Oklahoma and Northeastern State University to become members of the league, and on September 24, 2010, it voted to extend invitations to the University of Nebraska-Kearney and Lindenwood University to become conference institutions, beginning in 2012-13.

Since 2003, few teams in any sport have achieved the level of success enjoyed by the Lincoln women’s track & field team. The Blue Tigers continued the dynasty in spring of 2014, when Lincoln won the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field national title. Winners of 11 total national championships over the past 12 years, including five-straight NCAA Division II outdoor titles from 2003-2007, the Blue Tiger track & field program was honored in 2013 by being inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame.

Lincoln has established itself as one of the top track & field programs in all of NCAA Division II, having finished in the top three at every outdoor championship meet since 2003. That includes a special 2012 season in which both the Lincoln men and women finished as the national runners-up at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. No team in the MIAA has come close to matching what the LU women have done on the track, as the Blue Tigers have won eight conference indoor and outdoor championship meets since 2010.

The Lincoln men's golf team has also experienced the feeling of winning a championship recently, as the Blue Tigers have won the past two PGA Minority Collegiate Championship Division II tournaments. An annual golf tournament sponsored by the PGA and open to all HBCU men's golf programs, Lincoln posted wire-to-wire victories at the championship in 2013 and 2014. In 2015, Blake Lammers continued the tradition by becoming the individual champion at the PGA Minority Collegiate Championship.

Over the past four years, 10 of Lincoln's 14 athletic programs have qualified for some form of postseason competition. In 2011-12, the LU women's basketball team came within eight points of playing in the MIAA tournament championship game. In 2013, Twishana Williams became the only female runner in the MIAA to earn All-American honors. The Blue Tiger softball team, which had an athlete selected as an academic all-American in 2013, and the LU tennis team have also qualified for the MIAA championship tournament over the past three seasons while, in 2012-13, Cedric Ridle of the LU men's basketball team was the MIAA's scoring champion.

The women's track & field team poses with its 2014 championship trophy at a rally in Jefferson City.

Blake Lammers won the PGA Minority Collegiate Championship in 2015.

Lincoln UniversityHistory of Lincoln UniversityAt the close of the Civil War, soldiers and officers of the 62nd United States Colored Infantry, stationed at Fort McIntosh, Texas, but composed primarily of Missourians, took steps to establish an educational institution in Jefferson City, Missouri, which they named Lincoln Institute. The following stipulations were set for the school:

1. The institution shall be designed for the special benefit of the freed African-Americans;2. It shall be located in the state of Missouri;3. Its fundamental idea shall be to combine study and labor.

Members of the 62nd Colored Infantry contributed $5,000; this was supplemented by approximately $1,400, given by the 65th Colored Infantry. On January 14, 1866, Lincoln Institute was for-mally established under an organization committee. By June of the same year, it incorporated and the committee became a Board of Trustees. Richard Baxter Foster, a former first lieutenant in the 62nd Infantry, was named first principal of Lincoln Institute. On Septem-ber 17, 1866, the school opened its doors to the first class in an old frame building in Jefferson City.

In 1869, Lincoln Institute moved to the present campus, and in 1870 it began to receive aid from the state of Missouri for teacher training. College-level work was added to the curriculum in 1877, and passage of the Normal School Law permitted Lincoln gradu-ates to teach for life in Missouri without further examination. Lincoln Institute formally became a state institution in 1879 with the deeding of the property to the state. Under the second Morrill Act of 1890, Lincoln became a land grant institution, and the fol-lowing year industrial and agricultural courses were added to the curriculum.

In 1921, the Missouri Legislature passed a bill introduced by Walthall M. Moore, the first black American to serve in that body, which changed the name from Lincoln Institute to Lincoln Univer-sity and created a Board of Curators to govern the University.

The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accredited the high school division in 1925, the teacher-training program in 1926, and the four-year college of arts and sciences in 1934. Graduate instruction was begun in the summer session of 1940, with majors in education and history and minors in English, history, and sociology. A School of Journalism was established in February 1942.

In 1954, the United States Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, and Lincoln University responded by opening its doors to all applicably meeting its entrance criteria. Today, Lincoln University serves a diverse clientele, both residential and non-residential, engages in a variety of research projects, and offers numerous public service programs in addition to providing an array of academic programs.
