Kansas Wesleyan University

Kansas Wesleyan enjoyed continued success on the softball diamond for the three years under the direction of coach Russ Martin. After finishing second in the KCAC regular season, third in the conference tournament and fourth in NAIA District 10 in 1989, the Coyotes would not lose a KCAC contest the next two seasons, going a combined 20-0 in 1990 and 1991, winning both the regular season and tournament titles. The 1990 squad finished third in NAIA District 10 and in 1991, the Coyotes were district runners-up. Coach Martin was selected KCAC Coach of the Year all three seasons. In 1989, Jo Sharp, Kris Mitchell and Shelly Emig were First-Team All-KCAC selections and Terri Clark, Vicki Rierson and Diane Dowell were honorable mention selections. In 1990, the Coyotes had five first-team nods in Clark, Emig, Mitchell, Sharp and Monique Howard, while Christy Richmond, Monica Cruz and Rierson were honorable mention selections. In 1991, the Coyotes placed another five on the conference first-team, in Clark, Emig, Richmond, Krista Warner and Deena Baker. Stacy Breznay, Michelle Villaire and Leslie Zielinski were honorable mention nods. Sharp was a two-time All-NAIA District 10 selection in 1989 and 1990 and Emig twice earned the honor in 1990 and 1991. In 1991, four Coyotes earned spots on the All-District team in Clark, Emig, Richmond and Warner.
