The Bulldogs have never scored a run versus the Longhorns. MSU has never faced Texas Southern. Louisiana holds a 12-3 advantage in the all-time series. The teams have met just twice since 2006, in 2012 and MSU Begins NCAA Tournament At Lafayette Regional For the third-straight season, Mississippi State has advanced to the NCAA Tournament. It is the program s 11th trip to the event, where MSU is overall. The three consecutive tournament trips are the most for the Bulldogs since going to the NCAA s main event from Vann Stuedeman has led her teams to an NCAA Tournament appearance in each of her three seasons as head coach. MSU is this year, the second-best 57-game record in program history. The 38 wins are tied for the fourth most in a campaign by a Mississippi State squad. A year ago in Mobile, Ala., Mississippi State earned its first NCAA Tournament win since 2008 by downing Mississippi Valley State 2-1 in its second contest. Of Mississippi State s last eight wins, six have been come-from-behind victories. Mississippi State Probable Starters Based on previous game Pos. Name Yr. Hometown Note P Alison Owen Sr. Newnan, Ga.

20 VANN STUEDEMAN Head Coach > Huntingdon ( 94) > Third season > Record (.608 winning percentage) It has been a Vanntastic two seasons for head coach Vann Stuedeman at Mississippi State. On Thursday, June 23, 2011, MSU Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin announced Stuedeman as its new softball coach. In two seasons, the Vestavia Hills, Ala., native has led the squad to consecutive NCAA Tournament trips and 33-win campaigns. After becoming the winningest first-year head coach in school history (.579/33-24 record) in 2012, Stuedeman followed up with another campaign and a second-straight NCAA Tournament bid. The Bulldogs capped the year with a selection as an Easton Team of the Year, joining Women s College World Series participants Florida and Texas, and consecutive 30-win seasons for the first time since During the 2013 campaign, MSU snapped a trio of Southeastern Conference losing streaks, breaking a 27-game skid against Alabama, a 21-game streak versus LSU and a 17-game slump against Florida. The Bulldogs overall nine-game winning streak from Feb. 23-March 6 was tied for the seventh longest in program history and the five-game Southeastern Conference winning streak from April 7-19 was tied for the sixth best in program history. The pitching development and philosophies Stuedeman brought over from the University of Alabama, where she was known as a pitching genius in 11 years as the Crimson Tide pitching coach, paid huge dividends in Junior Alison Owen became the first pitcher in school history to receive Southeastern Conference Softball 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-Edwardsville on Feb. 24, Owen, the March 5 CollegeSportsMadness.com National Pitcher of the Week for March 5, is the third player in program history to earn a national weekly honor and enters her senior year holding the top three single-game whiff marks in program history with 16, 15 and 14, all recorded in 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 Owen twirled the first against Fordham on March 2 and Stephanie Becker tossed the other versus Ole Miss on April 14. Offensively, Stuedeman s aggressive approach helped the team tie the program record for stolen bases per game with 2.00 and total the secondmost swipes in a campaign in MSU history with 114. The approach at the plate translated into a program-record 51 home runs, besting the previous mark by four.

Owen was joined on the squad by Logan Foulks and Sam Lenahan, the most Bulldogs on the honor squad since 2009 and only the fourth time in program history having three or more selections. With her pitching roots, Stuedeman made her biggest impact during her first year at the MSU helm inside the circle. 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 The Bulldogs shut out opponents five times, including one on the road in the SEC for the first time in more than four years. Individually, Stuedeman coached staff ace Becker to a career year. Going up 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 Stephanie 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). Stuedeman s staff gave up only 154 earned runs in 2012, almost 100 fewer than the previous spring. With Stuedeman taking 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. Stuedeman also led the Bulldogs to their 12th Southeastern Conference Tournament berth with 12 SEC wins, the most for MSU since 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. Mississippi State won 21 non-conference games, its most since 2008 (28). State s 13-straight non-conference triumphs was its longest streak since MSU won a school-record 16-consecutive contests to begin the 2006 season. Within the state of Mississippi, Stuedeman has shined brightest. For the first time since 1998, the Maroon and White went undefeated (8-0) against in-state clubs in Studeman has yet to lose to an in-state foe during her tenure, including six-straight wins against Ole Miss. With late innings being her innings, the fifth head softball coach in school history made sure her team played best in 2012 when it counted most, outscoring opponents after the fifth. State went 9-7 in one-run games, its best winning percentage in one-run games since Three of those nine wins came in a row, the first time accomplishing the feat since since a 2007 series sweep of South Carolina. The Bulldogs did not get beaten when leading late all year, finishing 21-0 when ahead after the fifth inning. Offensively in her first year at MSU, Stuedeman oversaw a lineup that set a then-school record for single-season walks (202), while finishing in the top 10 in runs, home runs, slugging percentage and stolen bases. On the bases, MSU finished 22nd in the country in stolen bases per game (1.61). As a result of the offensive production, Stuedeman coached MSU s first SEC Player of the Week since 2010, two SEC Players of Game Notes 20

Prior to her arrival in Starkville, Stuedeman helped the Alabama Crimson Tide 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 Tide go from (.794), including a sparkling record inside the SEC. Stuedeman anchored a staff that had an ERA under 2.00 in eight of her 11 campaigns, struck out an average 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 nationally 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 Tuscaloosa. 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 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-record.146 average. Dunne also tossed three no-hitters and posted 11 shutouts. Traina went 19-5 with a 1.70 ERA, adding 190 strikeouts in innings with two no-hitters, three shutouts and four saves. Prior to joining Alabama, Stuedeman coached at West Alabama, Alabama-Huntsville and East Limestone High School. A native of Birmingham, Ala., she graduated in 1994 from Huntingdon College, where she helped the Hawks to two third-place finishes at the national tournament (1992 and 1994). The 1994 All-American was inducted into her alma mater s Hall of Fame on Oct. 8, Stuedeman served as a graduate assistant at the University of West Alabama from while earning her master s degree in elementary education, helping lead the team to the Gulf South Conference 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 Stuedeman, 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 championships, 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 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 Stuedeman s Last 13 Full Years As A Collegiate Coach Year Record Winning % SEC Finish NCAA Tournament nd 2-2 at Regional nd 0-2 at Regional nd 4-0 at Regional, 0-2 at WCWS th 3-2 at Regional nd 3-0 at Regional, 2-0 at SR, 1-2 at WCWS st 3-0 at Regional, 2-0 at SR, 0-2 at WCWS rd 4-1 at Regional, 0-2 at SR nd 3-0 at Regional, 2-0 at SR, 2-2 at WCWS nd 3-0 at Regional, 2-0 at SR, 2-2 at WCWS st 3-0 at Regional, 1-2 at SR st 3-0 at Regional, 2-1 at SR 2-2 at WCWS T-7th 0-2 at Regional th 1-2 at Regional TOTALS Appearances (6 WCWS), (.641) NFCA All-America Pitchers Under Stuedeman Name Years Team W-L ERA K Shelley Laird 2001 Second Stephanie VanBrakle 2005 Second Stephanie VanBrakle 2006 Second Chrissy Owens 2007 Third Kelsi Dunne 2008 Third Charlotte Morgan 2008 First Kelsi Dunne 2009 First Charlotte Morgan 2009 First Kelsi Dunne 2010 Third Kelsi Dunne 2011 First Jackie Traina 2011 First Game Notes 21
