2017 SOFTBALLGAME NOTES
NEED TO KNOW• This weekend the Bulldogs will honor their six seniors: Katie Anne Bailey, Olivia Golden, Amanda Ivy, Caroline Seitz
and Alexis Silkwood, along with graduate assistant manager Rachel Fox.• Last week, Silkwood became the 13th Bulldog to reach the professional ranks, as the lefty ace was drafted in the fifth
round (25th overall pick) by the Akron Racers.• Seitz earned SEC, Louisville Slugger NFCA and USA Softball Player of the Week honors for her showing in Athens three
weekends ago. She became the second player in school history to win all three in the same week (Iyhia McMichael, 2004). In her last 10 games, Seitz has driven in 21 runs and is currently riding a career-high 14-game hitting streak.
• The Bulldogs came in at No. 33 in this week’s RPI rankings. So far this year, the Dogs have earned wins against Texas A&M (No. 8), Alabama (No. 16), South Carolina (No. 24), Georgia (No. 27) and Arkansas (No. 29). So far this year, 16 of State’s wins this year have come against Top 100 programs.
• The Bulldogs are 25-2 when leading after five and 23-1 when leading after six frames. On the year, State has captured 15 come-from-behind wins.
• State’s pitching staff has been stellar so far in 2017. The group’s 1.92 ERA ranks seventh in the SEC and 25th in the NCAA. Cassady Knudsen leads the staff with a 1.69 ERA, which stands 15th in the SEC and 52nd in the NCAA. The staff’s ERA is on track to be the first sub-2.00 ERA since recording a 1.33 ERA during the 1998 campaign.

TEAM NOTESRACKING UP SERIES WINSMississippi State claimed three-straight conference series wins after defeating No. 24 Arkansas two weekends ago. It was the first time that MSU had won three-straight SEC series for the first time since 2014, when the Dogs defeated No. 3 Alabama, No. 4 Tennessee and Arkansas in consecutive weekends. SEITZ HAS A GRAND TIME IN ATHENSThe key behind MSU’s successful weekend in Ath-ens? Caroline Seitz, of course. For the weekend, the senior went 7-for-10 (.700) with 14 RBIs, four home runs (two grand slams), four runs scored, a scorching 1.900 slugging percentage and a .667 OBP. She became the first in school history to hit four home runs in an SEC weekend series and the first to hit a grand slam in back-to-back games. Seitz reeled in a number of honors for her standout weekend, earning SEC and Louisville Slugger Player of the Week honors. She was also named USA Softball’s Co-Player of the Week. She is the second player in school history to win all three in the same week, joining former Bulldog All-American Iyhia McMichael (2004). THAT WINNING FEELINGThe Bulldogs strung together one of the most impressive winning streaks in school history earlier this year, winning 16-straight games from Feb. 17 - March 10. The streak tied for the longest in school history, set Feb. 10 - March 3, 2006. SUCCESSFUL #SBW17MSU picked up its first SEC series win of the year last weekend, wrapping up a successful 2017 Super Bulldog Weekend. Adding to that success, a total of 1,413 people attended Saturday’s game, the third-largest SBW crowd and seventh-largest overall in school history. RECORD WEEKEND AT NUSZA total of 2,946 fans made their way to Nusz Park last weekend for MSU’s first home weekend of SEC play. That number set the record for largest SEC home opening weekend in Mississippi State softball history. Saturday’s total of 1,056 people landed as the 11th-largest crowd in school history and the 13th crowd of at least 1,000 people at Nusz. Of the Top 15 crowds in MSU softball history, 11 have come in the Vann Stuedeman era, including the Top 3 crowds in program history. KNUDSEN TALLIES CAREER NIGHTCassady Knudsen was locked in from the first pitch of the night and never looked back, as she put together her second-career no-hitter against the Al-abama State Lady Hornets on March 2. She tossed 5.0 innings, allowing no hits and only walking two while striking out a career-high 10 batters. Knudsen tallied her first-career no-no last season against Alcorn State (May 9, 2016). Thursday night’s performance was the 19th no-hitter in MSU softball history and puts Knudsen tied for first for most no-hitters in school history. It is also MSU’s third no-no against Alabama State, the most against any one school in program history. State’s Alicia Judd threw a no-hitter against ASU on March 1, 1997 and Jenny Hehnke followed a day later with the first and only perfect game in Bulldog history.
SEITZ TEARING THROUGH SEC PLAYCaroline Seitz has been on a tear through the sec-ond half of the SEC slate. Entering the weekend, the senior is leading the league in conference play with six home runs, 25 RBI, a .703 slugging percentage and 45 total bases. She also stands top 10 with a .359 clip and 23 hits. PITCHING DOMINANCEState’s pitching staff has been stellar through 52 games in 2017. The group’s 1.92 ERA ranks seventh in the SEC and 25th in the NCAA. Cassady Knudsen leads MSU with a 1.69 ERA (15th SEC, 52nd NCAA).
Knudsen has been dominant beyond just the ERA stat line, standing fourth in the SEC, seventh in the NCAA with 3.38 hits allowed per seven innings and fifth in the SEC and 31st nationally with 8.3 strikeouts per seven frames.
200 HITS AND COUNTING FOR SEITZWith a trio of hits on March 25 against UAB, senior Caroline Seitz earned her 200th-career hit. She currently stands at 224, which puts her at eighth on the MSU all-time list.
SILK REWRITING THE RECORD BOOKSSenior lefty Alexis Silkwood has been putting her name all throughout the MSU record books since she arrived on campus in 2014. Now in her final year, she has already crowned herself the new MSU K Queen, the winningest pitcher in school history and is poised to take over several other categories...
- 1st in wins (58)- 1st in strikeouts (545)- 1st in complete games (50)- 1st in innings pitched (648.2)- 1st in appearances (140)- 2nd in starts (92)- 3rd in saves (9)- T-3rd in shutouts (13) WE’VE GOT THAT POWERThe Bulldogs have tallied 26 home runs so far through the year, besting the 18 they hit through-out the entire 2016 season. State has put together five multi-home run contests through this season, while only having one all of last year. HOMERS ON HOMERS ON HOMERSAfter knocking two balls out of the park at Auburn, senior Caroline Seitz kept climbing up MSU’s all-time homers list. The two bombs moved Seitz’s career total to 36, which puts her one away from tying former MSU All-American Iyhia McMichael for second. She’s currently eight away from tying the school’s all-time record, held by Kellie Wilkerson (44, 1999-02). MSU DOMINATES FIRST INTL TRIPThe Bulldogs spent week two of the year at the 2017 Puerto Vallarta College Challenge, going 3-1 with wins against No. 21 Fresno State, Texas Tech and Florida Gulf Coast to claim the weekend’s best record. State landed four members on the All-Tournament squad, including MVP Reggie Harrison, Caroline Seitz, Alexis Silkwood and Bevia Robinson. MISSISSIPPI QUEENStuedeman is an impressive 30-5 against programs from the state of Mississippi since she took over at MSU and is 8-5 versus in-state rival Ole Miss.
21, GOING ON 26Mississippi State is in its 26th season of varsity softball. The Bulldogs also fielded squads from 1982-86. In the previous 20 season stretch, MSU has advanced to the NCAA Tournament 12 times, including seven of the last 10 and four consecutive postseason events from 2012-15. The Bulldogs have won one postseason contest in each of their last three showings, defeating Mississippi Valley State 2-1 in 2013, Texas Southern 5-3 in 2014 and Weber State 2-0 in 2015.
The Bulldogs enter 2017 looking to make a fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last five years, which would tie for the best stretch in school histo-ry, last accomplished from 2000-05. RANKED WINS KEEP COMINGWith victories against No. 21 Fresno State in Mexico, at No. 5 Texas A&M, against No. 8 Alabama and two at No. 19 Georgia and versus No. 24 Arkan-sas, Stuedeman now has at least one ranked win in all six years she has been at the helm of the Bulldog softball program. She is the only head coach since MSU reached varsity status in 1997 to have a ranked win in every year of their tenure.
LATE INNINGS, OUR INNINGSUnder the leadership of head coach Vann Stuede-man, State has been a force in the late innings and nothing is more evident of that than the 70 come-back wins the Bulldogs have amassed in her tenure.
State has 15 come-from-behind victories so far in 2017, including walk-off victories against Stephen F. Austin on Feb. 11, Samford on March 4 and Louisiana Tech on March 24 PITCHING IS HER THINGDuring head coach Vann Stuedeman’s 12 years as the pitching coach at the University of Alabama, she compiled a very impressive resume.

THESE DAWGS DON’T ROLL OVERMississippi State won four games versus top-five opponents during 2014, two in 2015, one in 2016 and one so far in 2017. Prior to the set versus No. 3 Alabama on April 11-13, 2014, the Bulldogs had won five games in program history versus top-five opponents. A closer look at MSU’s wins against top-five foes:

2017 @HAILSTATESB GAME NOTES18
KENTUCKY | MAY 5-7
Since being hired as the Mississippi State softball head coach on Thursday, June 23, 2011, Vann Stuedeman has invigorated the Bulldog program. In five seasons, the Vestavia Hills, Ala., native has led the squad to four consecutive NCAA Tournament trips and 33 or more wins in four of her five campaigns.
Stuedeman’s most recent campaign saw the Bulldogs capture 26 total wins and climb as high as 23rd in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25. Stuedeman’s club took on the third-toughest schedule in the nation, which featured five of its eight conference series coming against 2015 Women’s College World Series participants, while two others came against 2015 NCAA Super Regional participants. They played a total of 23 games against Top 5 opponents and 16 against 2015 WCWS teams.
Despite some struggles, the team still showcased extreme grit and toughness while play-ing in the toughest conference in the NCAA, as the SEC finished 2016 with the highest RPI among conference teams. With a total of 10 come-from-behind victories, Stuedeman main-tains a reputation of fielding programs that fight until the final out. On her career, Stuede-man has 60 comeback victories. Her squads also continued to dominate late in games, as MSU finished 2016 with a 19-3 record when leading after five innings and a 19-2 mark when up after six. Stuedeman’s teams have been nearly flawless when holding the lead late in games, going 109-8 after five and 101-6 after six for her career.
Behind the play of senior Kayla Winkfield, a 2016 NPF draftee who led the SEC stood ninth in the NCAA with six triples, the Bulldogs’ offense churned out 0.21 triples per game, finishing fourth in the SEC.
The 2016 Bulldogs tallied 15 sacrifice flies, which tied for fourth-most in program history. They also hed true to the “We Don’t Move” mantra brought by the coaching staff, tallying 60 hit by pitches, which is third in the school record books.
Success continued for Stuedeman’s pitching staff in 2016, as State tallied 305 strikeouts. The total finished fifth in school history, as did MSU’s 5.41 strikeouts per seven innings average.
In 2015, Stuedeman led MSU to its fourth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance with 36 wins, marking just the second time in program history that had been accomplished (2002-05).
The Bulldogs carried a never-say-die attitude with them in 2015 as they recorded 15 come-from-behind wins to give Stuedeman a total of 50 comeback wins over her first four seasons in Starkville. Three Bulldogs were named to the NFCA All-South Region team in 2015, tying a season-best in the Stuedeman era that was set in 2013.
Alexis Silkwood tallied SEC Pitcher of the Week honors in back-to-back weeks (March 30 and April 6). The two SEC Pitcher of the Week awards marked the third-straight year with such an honoree, the longest stretch for the program since 2001-04.
Prior to Stuedeman taking over the program in 2012, MSU had seven total SEC Pitcher of the Week honors. In the five-year Stuedeman era, the Bulldogs have won seven. The 2014 Bull-dogs’ four total SEC weekly honors are tied with the 2008 and 2004 squads for the second most in program history.
Stuedeman’s 2014 edition really took off, earning a program third-best 39 victories and an MSU second-best eight wins against ranked opponents. The Bulldogs made three-straight NCAA trips for the first time since 2007-09 and had three consecutive 30-win seasons for the first time since 1998-2008.
Included in the spring of 2014’s 39 victories were three-straight victories against top-five clubs with back-to-back wins against No. 3/2 Alabama on April 12-13 and a 2-0 triumph at No. 4/4 Tennessee on April 18. It was the first time the Bulldogs had won three consecutive games against ranked foes since taking seven straight from April 9-May 13, 2004, and the first time ever winning three straight against top-five opponents.
During the campaign, Stuedeman guided her squad to four wins versus top-five opponents in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) poll. Entering the year, the Bulldogs had won five games in program history versus top-five opponents.
Stuedeman’s 2014 team also earned three-straight Southeastern Conference series wins for the first time since April 6-21, 2012. The club started off on fire, winning 15-straight games, one game shy of the longest season-opening victory streak in program history.
Individually, Stuedeman helped Caroline Seitz to selections as a Top 25 Finalist for the inau-gural NFCA Freshman of the Year Award and NFCA All-South Region First Team honors. Seitz

KENTUCKY | MAY 5-7
became the sixth freshman in program history to earn all-region honors, the initial under Stuedeman and the first since Ka’ili Smith in 2009.
Seitz was joined by Alexis Silkwood on the SEC All-Freshman Team. The two selections are tied for the most in a year in MSU history.
Silkwood used Stuedeman’s guidance in the pitch-ing circle to turn in one of the most successful rook-ie campaigns in program history. Silkwood set the MSU freshman record for strikeouts in a season with 167 and set the rookie single-game record with 13 whiffs against Texas Southern in the NCAA Tourna-ment.
Following two impressive outings at No. 4/4 Tennes-see, Silkwood was named the April 21 SEC Pitcher of the Week as well as the Feb. 17 and March 3 SEC Freshman of the Week. Alison Owen was also tabbed as the April 14 SEC Pitcher of the Week.
After becoming the winningest first-year head coach in school history (.579/33-24 record) in 2012, Stuedeman followed up with another 33-24 cam-paign and a second-straight NCAA Tournament bid in 2013. The 2013 Bulldogs were named an Easton Team of the Year, joining Women’s College World Se-ries participants Florida and Texas.
During 2013, Owen’s first year on the active roster, she became the first pitcher in school history to re-ceive SEC Pitcher of the Week honors in consecutive weeks, earning the nods on Feb. 25 and March 4. Owen established the single-game Mississippi State record for strikeouts with 16 against SIU-Edwards-ville on Feb. 24 and was selected as the March 5 CollegeSportsMadness.com National Pitcher of the Week.
Stuedeman guided the pitching staff to a pair of no-hitters in 2013, the most by the program in a year since tossing four in 2006.
Offensively, Stuedeman’s aggressive approach helped the team tie the program record for stolen bases per game with 2.00 and total the second-most swipes in a campaign in MSU history with 114. The approach at the plate translated into a program-re-cord 51 home runs, besting the previous mark by four.
Stuedeman helped Owen earn a spot on the NFCA All-South Region Second Team at the end of the year. Owen was joined on the squad by Logan Foulks and Sam Lenahan. It was only the fourth time in program history having three or more selections.
The pitching development and philosophies Stuedeman brought from the University of Ala-bama, where she was known as a pitching genius in 11 years as the Crimson Tide pitching coach, paid huge dividends during her initial season. She took a school record-high 4.90 earned-run average from 2011 and with the same group of five pitchers, cut the ERA to 2.88 in 2012. Stuedeman also helped the pitching staff improve from 2011 to 2012 in: wins (24 to 33), complete games (12 to 20), no-hitters (zero to one), hits allowed (435 to 310), runs allowed (313 to 194), strikeouts (242 to 358), home runs allowed (50 to 27) and opponent batting average (.300 to .224).
Individually, Stuedeman coached Stephanie Becker
to a career year. Against eventual Women’s College World Series participant South Florida, Stuedeman called her 24th career no-hitter. Later in the year, Becker became the first Bulldog pitcher since Steph-anie Comeaux in 2006 to be named SEC Pitcher of the Week after picking up three conference victories in a series sweep versus Kentucky.
Stuedeman also focused heavily on improving the defense. She succeeded, increasing the Bulldogs’ fielding percentage from 2011 to 2012 by nine points (.954 to .963). Her staff gave up 154 earned runs in 2012, almost 100 fewer than the previous spring.
In 2012, Stuedeman took MSU to its first NCAA Tournament since 2009, she became one of only two first-time head coaches to make the field of 64. With 33 overall wins, Stuedeman guided MSU to its first 30-win season since 2008, despite having the fourth-toughest strength of schedule in the nation.
Fully buying into Stuedeman’s system paid divi-dends at the end of the year, when the Bulldogs won 14 of their last 20 contests, including a 12-game win-ning streak from April 10 - May 4, 2012.
Prior to the NCAA Tournament, Stuedeman led the Bulldogs to their 12th Southeastern Conference Tournament berth with 12 SEC wins, the most for MSU since 2008. For the first time since 2001, MSU swept back-to-back three-game series and won six consecutive conference games.
Outside the SEC, Stuedeman was dominant. Missis-sippi State won 21 non-conference games and re-corded 13-straight non-conference triumphs. It was the longest streak since a school-record 16-consec-utive contests to begin the 2006 season.
On the road, the 2012 Bulldogs broke the school record for true road wins in a season with number 13 coming at Auburn on May 4, 2012. The eight SEC road wins were the most for the Bulldogs since eight in 2001.
Within Mississippi, Stuedeman has shined brightest. Stuedeman has only dropped two games to in-state foes during her tenure, while winning seven of her nine meetings with Ole Miss.
One of the key principles under Stuedeman has been having success in the late innings. The 2012 club outscored opponents 64-31 after the fifth. State went 9-7 in one-run games, its best winning per-centage in one-run games since 2002. The Bulldogs were unbeaten when leading late during the year, finishing 21-0 when ahead after the fifth inning.
Offensively in her first year, Stuedeman oversaw a lineup that set a then-school record for single-sea-son walks (202), while finishing in the top 10 in runs, home runs, slugging percentage and stolen bases. Stuedeman coached MSU’s first SEC Player of the Week since 2010, two SEC Players of the Week in the same season for the first time since 2004 and MSU’s second National Player of the Week.
Prior to her arrival in Starkville, Stuedeman helped Alabama claim three SEC regular-season titles en route to reaching the Women’s College World Series six times.
As an assistant coach since 2001, Stuedeman helped the Crimson Tide go 579-150 from 2000-11 (.794), including a sparkling 243-70 record inside the SEC. Stuedeman anchored a staff that had an ERA under 2.00 in eight of her 11 campaigns, struck out an av-erage of 485 batters per season and held opponents scoreless in 221 games. The 2011 staff led the SEC in ERA, giving Stuedeman’s staff a top-20 ERA national-ly in five of the previous six seasons before she left Alabama.
Stuedeman coached six All-American pitchers with 11 All-America and All-SEC honors while in Tuscalo-osa. Under her instruction, Tide pitchers registered 23 no-hitters, including three perfect games. Three times Stuedeman coached the SEC Pitcher of the Year, while racking up 19 SEC Pitcher of the Week honors. She also coached two SEC Freshman of the Year and one SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player.
In 2011, Stuedeman tutored the pitching staff to a 1.69 ERA, a 53-10 record and third-place finish at the Women’s College World Series. The staff included a pair of All-American pitchers in Kelsi Dunne and Jackie Traina. Dunne, a volunteer assistant coach at Mississippi State in 2012, capped her career with a 29-5 record and a 1.42 ERA. The right-hander struck out 331 batters and held opponents to a school-re-cord .146 average. Dunne also tossed three no-hit-ters and posted 11 shutouts. Traina went 19-5 with a 1.70 ERA, adding 190 strikeouts in 156.1 innings with two no-hitters, three shutouts and four saves.
Prior to joining Alabama, Stuedeman coached at West Alabama, Alabama-Huntsville and East Lime-stone High School. The Birmingham, Ala., area na-tive graduated in 1994 from Huntingdon College, where she helped the Hawks to two third-place fin-ishes at the national tournament (1992 and 1994). The 1994 All-American was inducted into her alma mater’s Hall of Fame on Oct. 8, 2011.
Stuedeman served as a graduate assistant at the University of West Alabama from 1995-96 while earning her master’s degree in elementary educa-tion, helping lead the team to the Gulf South Con-ference championship in 1995 while the team’s head coach was away from the team on maternity leave. The championship and winning season was the first in the ’90s for the West Alabama program.
After spending two seasons at UWA, Stuedeman went to the University of Alabama-Huntsville for three years as an assistant for her sister, Les Stuede-man, and worked with pitchers and outfielders. During her stint, the UAH pitching staff ranked in the top five in Division II in ERA. She helped lead the program to two Gulf South Conference champion-ships, three NCAA Regional appearances and a trip to the 1999 Division II National Tournament. She was also part of the staff that was named South Region Coaching Staff of the Year in 1999.
She then accepted the head coaching position at East Limestone High School, in Athens, Ala., where she led the team to its first winning season since 1994.
