2012 EUREKA COLLEGE SPRING SPORTS MEDIA GUIDE

Stacey Sparks will enter her fourth season as head coach of

the Eureka College softball program in 2012. The former NCAA

Division III softball standout has used effective recruiting and

groundbreaking statistical performances from her student-athletes

to make the Red Devils a regular contender in the St. Louis

Intercollegiate Athletic Conference softball landscape.

The Red Devils have enjoyed success in terms of wins and losses

as well as offensive numbers under Sparks’s watch. The 2011 Red

Devils belted 12 home runs in only 28 games to break the single-

season team record for the second consecutive spring. Eureka

has also been effective in the pitching circle for Sparks, as the Red

Devils set a new single-season mark for strikeouts with 142.

The crown jewel of Sparks’s tenure so far has been the 2010

campaign. Eureka’s nine conference victories were its highest total

during its four-year membership of the SLIAC and the most league

wins in any season since the Red Devils won 11 Northern Illinois-

Iowa Conference (NIIC) games and qualifi ed for the NCAA Division

III Tournament in 2002. The Red Devils continued their success

against conference opponents at the SLIAC Tournament, routing

Greenville 13-5 in an elimination game on May 6 to become the

third Eureka squad (men’s basketball, 2007, 2010) to win a SLIAC

postseason contest since the Red Devils joined the nine-team

league prior to the 2006-07 academic year.

Sparks has proved to be an excellent recruiter during her tenure at

Eureka. She has successfully welcomed 22 new student-athletes

to the program since the summer of 2010, two of which have

earned All-SLIAC honors.

The Lincoln, Ill. native also enjoyed a wildly successful collegiate

softball career at Division III Millikin in Decatur, Ill. After

transferring from Illinois Central, Sparks compiled a school-record

.467 batting average (56-for-120) en route to being named the

College Conference of Illinois Wisconsin (CCIW) South Division

Player of the Year and leading the Big Blue to the CCIW title as a

junior in 1990. She also smashed 10 home runs, a Millikin record

that still stands and the most by any Division III player that season,

and was named to the Division III All-America First Team.

She hit .407 and set another single-season school record with

14 doubles to earn All-America Second Team accolades as a

senior. Sparks was the fi rst player in Millikin softball history to hit

.400 or better in back-to-back seasons. Sparks, who also played

basketball at Millikin, earned a communications degree from MU

in 1992 and was inducted into the Millikin athletics Hall of Fame in

2007.

STACEY SPARKSHEAD COACHMILLIKIN ‘92FOURTH SEASON

In addition to her own collegiate playing success and coaching

duties at Eureka, Sparks has continued to be very active in

athletics. She has coached basketball at West Lincoln Junior High

School and was an assistant coach for Lincoln Land Community

College. She has coached various YWCA and summer youth

basketball and softball teams and spent two years coaching youth

softball in Bloomington-Normal. When she is not coaching, Sparks

is a commercial underwriter for Country Insurance.

SARA EGGLESTONASSISTANT COACHCULVER-STOCKTON ‘08SECOND SEASON

Former NAIA pitching standout Sara Eggleston will enter her

second season on the Eureka softball coaching staff. Eggleston

will work primarily with the Eureka pitching staff.

A four-year pitcher at Culver-Stockton in Canton, Mo., Eggleston

was a three-time All-Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC)

choice for the Wildcats, including a First Team selection as a junior

in 2007. Eggleston led the Wildcats that season with 16 victories,

183.2 innings pitched, 126 strikeouts and a 1.94 earned run

average, while opposing batters hit just .230 against her.

The Memphis, Mo. native compiled a 40-31 career record in 92

total appearances, including 72 starts. She struck out 322 batters

in 496.2 innings pitched and concluded her four-year career in

2008 with a 2.75 earned run average. The Wildcats won 98 games

in Eggleston’s four seasons.

Additionally, Eggleston is in her second year as Eureka’s fi rst full-

time assistant athletic trainer. She earned a B.S. in athletic training

from Culver-Stockton in May 2008.

She later served as a graduate assistant athletic trainer with the

softball and spirit teams at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar

Falls, Iowa, earning a master of science degree in athletic training

in July 2010.

BRITTANY GARDNERASSISTANT COACHEUREKA ‘09THIRD SEASON

A member of the Eureka College softball team in 2007 and 2008

and one of the most accomplished players in Eureka women’s

basketball history, Brittany Gardner will enter her third season on

the Eureka softball coaching staff in 2011.

Gardner’s fi rst season as an assistant coach on the Eureka staff

produced ground-breaking results, including the Red Devils’ fi rst

St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament berth

since joining the league prior to the 2007 season. Eureka also

smashed what was then a school-record 11 home runs in 2010

and improved its single-season totals in batting average, runs

scored, slugging percentage,

on-base percentage and

fi elding percentage. The Red

Devils went on to break the

team home run record again in

2011 with 12 homers.

During her two-year softball

career, Gardner started all

61 games for the Red Devils,

collecting 23 hits, 19 runs, nine

runs batted in and four stolen

bases.

On the basketball court,

Gardner left Eureka as the

program’s all-time leader with

149 3-point baskets. She

also holds the single-game school record, burying eight treys at

Principia on Jan. 23, 2007. Gardner ranks eighth all-time on the

all-time Eureka scoring list with 1,075 points and 10th on the all-

time assist list with 206. Gardner was a Second Team All-SLIAC

choice in 2008.

A native of Mooresville, Ind., Gardner earned a degree in fi tness

leadership from Eureka College in 2009.

The Eureka College softball team will enter its fourth season under

head coach Stacey Sparks and look to return to the St. Louis

Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament in 2012. Eureka

returns eight letterwinners, including a pair of all-conference

outfi elders, in its quest to earn its second postseason appearance

since 2010.

The Red Devils will turn to one of the most experienced players

in program history for leadership in the infi eld, as Carissa Alig

will make the move from shortstop to third base. Alig, who also

excels in the classroom as a two-time academic All-American, has

started 94 consecutive games since fi rst donning a Eureka uniform

in 2008. She is the active Eureka leader in nearly every offensive

category and already ranks ninth in Eureka history with 30 bases

on balls.

Another Eureka senior will play a huge role in the heart of the

Eureka lineup. Sara Hamilton is back in the EC outfi eld after an

outstanding debut season that resulted in an All-SLIAC First Team

selection. Hamilton smashed fi ve home runs in 2011 to promptly

race to fi fth place on the all-time Eureka home run list. She also

put up a .488 batting average and drove in 22 runs in one of the

most productive offensive seasons in program history.

Heather Flanigan rounds out Eureka’s three-player senior class.

A defensive specialist in the outfi eld a year ago, the dual-sport

student-athlete (soccer) will likely play a larger role in 2012.

Veteran starting pitcher junior Sarah Jesse returns for her third

collegiate season in 2012. Her 13 career victories already rank

tied for 10th in program history, and she is poised to crack the

top-10 in strikeouts and innings pitched before her collegiate

career is done. The Red Devils will turn to Jesse as their clear ace

throughout the 2012 season.

Outfi elder Caty Eeten headlines a group of three returning

sophomore starters. The switch-hitter, who also stars on the

Eureka women’s basketball team as the 2012 SLIAC Player of the

Year, hit .314 out of the leadoff spot for the Red Devils last season

and will continue to be a threat from that spot this season. Eeten

also pitched 38.2 innings last season for the Red Devils and will

Senior infi elder Carissa Alig (left) enters her fi nal collegiate season after starting 94 consecutive games since her debut

in 2008. Junior pitcher Sarah Jesse (right) enters her third collegiate season in 2012 as the active Eureka leader in every

pitching category.

continue to provide depth in the circle in 2012.

Emily Campbell, one of nine multi-sport student-athletes

(volleyball) on the roster, returns as Eureka’s catcher after making

26 starts as a freshman last spring. Campbell, who joined Alig

as academic All-Americans in 2011, will give the Red Devils a

dependable bat in the lineup and a consistent glove behind the

plate.

Manteno, Ill. native Amanda Murphy returns for the Red Devils at

fi rst base after a debut season in 2011 in which Murphy compiled

a .264 batting average. Murphy, one of only two players on the

roster to throw left-handed, is expected to continue her stay at fi rst

base this spring.

Sophomore Jackie Nauracy rounds out Eureka’s eight-player

group of returning letterwinners. The Schererville, Ind. native

added women’s soccer to her student-athlete resume in 2011 and

will provide depth in the Eureka outfi eld for the second consecutive

season.

A large collection of newcomers will bolster Eureka’s attack in

2012, as nine new student-athletes will join the program.

The most accomplished newcomer for the Red Devils is former

Illinois Central slugger Kelli Dunne, who will play second base in

2012. Dunne led NJCAA Division II in RBI as a sophomore last

season, compiling 98 runs batted in for the powerhouse Cougars.

Dunne, a junior, is the only three-sport student-athlete on the

Eureka softball roster after also participating in volleyball and

basketball in her fi rst season on campus.

Jaylynn Stewart also joins the Eureka softball program after

transferring to Eureka College at semester break. She played a

large role on the Eureka women’s basketball team that qualifi ed

for the SLIAC Tournament in 2012 and will anchor the shortstop

position for the Red Devils this spring.

Eureka returns six starters and eight letterwinners, including All-SLIAC choices

Sara Hamilton and Caty Eeten, for 2012. The Red Devils will also welcome nine

newcomers this season.

After missing her freshman season with various injuries, sophomore Ashley Segerstrom

will immediately improve the Eureka outfi eld as she beings her collegiate softball career

in 2012. Segerstrom joins Hamilton, Eeten, Stewart and Dunne as players who also

participate in women’s basketball.

Five players will have freshman eligibility for the Red Devils in 2012, another large

recruiting class for Sparks. Sarah Ackermann will give Sparks a versatile option after a

decorated prep career at Affton High School in St. Louis. Courtney Crone, another utility

player, also joined the program.

Tanisa Geiman, Karson Gragert, and Taylor Newby round out the freshman class for

2012. Gragert, who also plays volleyball at Eureka, was a two-time Female Athlete of

the Year at Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School and will immediately improve Eureka’s

pitching rotation this spring. She is also expected to contribute as an outfi elder.

Eureka will open the season in style, playing eight games during spring break as part of

the National Collegiate Sports Invitational in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. The Red Devils will

play two games each day beginning Monday, March 12 through Thursday, March 15.

Upon returning to the Midwest, Eureka will open its 16-game St. Louis Intercollegiate

Athletic Conference schedule at home on Saturday, March 24 against Westminster.

The Red Devils will also host Webster in the month of March on the 31st as part of the

program’s “Pitch for Pink” breast cancer awareness event. The Red Devils will also play

a non-conference doubleheader at North Park (March 21) and host Monmouth (March 25)

and Knox (March 28) in the month of March.

Eureka will make SLIAC doubleheader trips to Greenville (April 4), Fontbonne (April 6),

Blackburn (April 18) and Spalding (April 21) during the second half of the season. The

Red Devils will host league foes MacMurray (April 11) and Principia (April 14). The April

schedule also includes non-conference showdowns against Beloit (April 1), Rust (April 15)

Robert Morris-Springfi eld (April 25) and Franklin (April 28).

The top four teams in the fi nal SLIAC regular season standings, excluding NCAA Division

III provisional member Spalding, will qualify for the double-elimination SLIAC Tournament

in early May. The winner of that tournament will earn the SLIAC’s automatic berth to the

NCAA Division III Tournament.
