Hey Hillcat Fans!
Good Bye Spring Break, Hello conference!
This past week was a little crazy! We left for MO last Thursday and played 3 games Friday and 2 on Saturday. Leaving MO 4-1 was not bad at all, but we definitely knew we could have gone 5-0. Not letting anything stop us, we headed straight for TN. Traveling all day Sunday and then played TN Wesleyan on Monday, we tacked on 2 more W's for the books. We traveled to Bryan College the next day and gained another 2 wins. Wednesday was a great day off traveling and playing had definitely wore us down a bit. Coach gave us the day to shop and go to downtown Nashville. It was a lot of fun! Thursday came quick and we were suppose to play our last 2 games in TN but due to all the rain in Memphis we were not able to play on Thursday, and headed for good ole' Oklahoma. Spring Break was a success going 4-0!
Your Hillcat softball team is 27-4! And we could not ask for a better record going into conference play. Although, tomorrow is where it all begins. This week is a big week of big games, with Oklahoma Baptist on Tuesday, Oklahoma Christian on Thursday, and Southern Nazarene on Saturday. Coming out of this week with 6 more wins would be great, and I know we can do it. We have came this far playing some great softball and I cannot wait to see how far we take ourselves.
Mark you calendars!!
Tuesday- March 27th 5 & 7 @ OBU
Thursday- March 29th 4 & 6 HOME!
Saturday- Marcy 31st 12 & 2 @ SNU

HILLCAT domiNATION
Hey Hillcat Fans!
Season is in full gear, and blogging has been hard to get around to. Since my last post, your Hillcats have been on the grind! This past week has been crazy. We went to Wichita, KS last Friday and played 2 games Saturday, against Midland College and Ottawa University. We lost to Ottawa by 2 which gave us our second loss on the season. Sunday we played 3 games against Graceland College, from Iowa, Mount Marty, from Nebraska, and then Bethel College, from Kansas, and came out with 3 more wins.
Coming home was bitter sweet. We were ready to be back in our own beds, but Monday was another full day of games. We played at home, which was our first games on the field with the stadium almost finished, it was so exciting! We hosted OK Wesleyan and added 2 more wins on the season. There was no time to rest just yet. We played Tuesday at home against Bacone College and had great weather for 2 more wins.
If you have been keeping track your Hillcat softball team is 15-2 on the season. This is the best starting record we have had since the softball program has started, and we plan to keep it going this weekend in McPhearson, KS.

Starting Out Right
Hey Hillcat fans!
Yesterday was our first two games of the season, and it felt so good to be back on the field. We played at Bacone College at 1 and 3. The first game started a little rough, but I think most of us were a little nervous, but yet anxious to play. Our Sr. Ashley Wailand started on the mound for us, but due to some struggling was replaced by our freshman lefty, Laura Fleck, who came in and did a great job. Fleck got the win! The second game started a lot better. Throughout the game Katrina Loy, Linsey Curtis and Shona Guerrero all hit a homerun to really get us pumped up. There was no stopping us there, we ended the game by a run rule in the bottom of the 5th by a score of 13-5. Linsey Curtis got the win! These two games were a great start to the season!

Seasons Here!
Hi Hillcat fans!
The wait is over, season is here! All the hard work we have been putting in over the fall and the past 6 weeks of this semester is finally going to seem worth it.
Our season opener is tomorrow at Bacon College @ 1 & 3. And we can not wait to be out on the field. Hopefully we get to play though, this weather has been a real headache. We been outside since we got back in January and the week of our first game it wants to snow and rain, but that's Oklahoma for you. Once we start tomorrow it doesn't stop. We dive head first into no weekends off and traveling like crazy, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Our home opener is February 25th against Grandview @ 1 & 3. But since our field isn't quite ready, due to the construction on our press box, we will play at Claremore High School's field.

Homecoming!
Hey Hillcats fans!
This past weekend was Homecoming. Throughout the week before there was a ton of activities to do around campus. We had the Fauxsino, which is a night we get to act like real big spenders and gamble the night away. We also had the Hillcat Hacker, one of my favorite homecoming activities, which is a fundraiser golf tournament where we turn the whole campus ground into a golf course. Friday night we had a bonfire on campus and they introduced all the basketball players. We got to eat lots of food and had a great night of socializing. Saturday was game day. Girls played first and played a great game, but didn't quite have enough to get the win. As for the boys, that's a different story. They pretty much stomped their opponent with a 65 point win.
On a sad note, this past weekend the Hillcat family lost a member of their family. Tyler Brown, a sophomore on the baseball team, had a car accident late Friday night. Tyler went 6-0 last year as a freshman and closed the game for the Hillcats in the SAC Tournament last year to get the win. Tyler was a great person inside and out with a great attitude about life. I am so grateful to have know him and be a little part of his life. Tyler will be a great loss to this Hillcat family. He will be truly missed! RIP TB23

No Days Off!
Hey Hillcat fans!
I know everyone has been a little shaken up by the earthquakes around the Oklahoma area, but those really are not even earthquakes. Your Hillcat softball team has been working so hard through the five weeks of 6am workouts and swimming that when we hit in the cage it sends a HUGE vibration through the state. But, all we're doing is sending a message to the rest of the SAC that the RSU Hillcats are getting ready for that National Championship! Let's just say those were our warning shots.
Honestly, the girls and I have been working so hard, getting stronger and faster. I can not wait 'til season. The rough part is going to be the breaks that are approaching very soon. Christmas break is about a month long, and that is a long time away from the girls and the daily routines we do everyday. But, I know my team and, as dedicated as they are to the team and the game, they will not let a break stop them from working hard and getting better. No Days Off!
So the next time you feel an "earthquake," just know that it is your Hillcats Softball team hitting the cages.

Introduction :)
Hi Hillcat fans!
My
name is Ashlie Fauchier and I'm this year’s blogger for the Hillcats
Softball team. I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know a
little about me and the softball program.
I
am from Choctaw, OK. I have been here at RSU since my freshman year as
the starting shortstop. I am a junior on and off the field and majoring
in Elementary Education through the Cameron program here on campus. I am
one of eight returners from last year and I couldn't imagine playing
anywhere else. I chose Rogers State for multiple reasons. For one, the
beautiful campus. When my mom and I came on my visit we were coming up
the hill towards campus and my mom turned to me and said," uh oh!" I
asked why she said that and she replied, "This is it!" I guess she was
right. But, the campus was not the only reason. I highly admire Coach
Dicus and the program he has built at RSU. After meeting with him and
touring the campus RSU was most definitely the place for me. Going on my
third year, I still love it here!
But
enough about me. Let’s get to the good stuff, my team! This year we
have a lot of new faces. We have five freshman, one new sophomore, and
eight new juniors. But, I couldn't be more excited. Between the 22 of us
we have a great amount of talent. I can't wait for season to start in
February! Until then it's grind time all the time. We started 6ams
yesterday with Coach Renault. They can be killer, but we know all the
pain and soreness will all be worth it when we get that National
Championship! After Fall Break we will start workouts in the afternoons
as well. Which includes hitting, throwing, running, and of course the
pool. Yes, I said the pool. While in the pool we tread water, swim, run,
and swing under water. It seems a little weird I know, but it helps a
lot with soreness from 6 ams and builds strength.
Well,
that's a little look inside a Hillcat softball player’s life and me and
who I am. I'm excited to start blogging and updating everyone on what’s
going on with the team. If you ever have any questions don't be afraid
to ask. :)
