Hall of Fame
The Lady Miner softball team, under the direction of head coach Ryan Anderson, had one of its most successful seasons in school history in 2004 as it won a school record 41 games and finished second in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.  Headed by pitchers Christy Deken – who had a 27-2 record and 0.48 earned run average while striking out 346 hitters and Renee Roberts – the team held its opponents to an average of just 1.4 runs per game, threw three no-hitters and recorded 25 shutouts. On the offensive side, the Lady Miners hit .309 as a team, the best single-season mark in school history, as seven members of the regular starting lineup hit .305 or better. Janet Borgmeyer led the team with a .383 average, while Heather Maggard batted .346 and Jenny Meitz hit .333 with a team-high 36 runs batted in. A total of nine players were named to the All-MIAA team, including Deken who was named as the league's most valuable player.
