METRO ROUNDUP: Strickland, Shaw take HCAC top honors

STAFF REPORT The Tribune-Star The Tribune Star Wed Feb 27, 2013, 12:05 AM EST

TERRE HAUTE — Rose-Hulman junior Julian Strickland was named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year for men’s basketball and Jim Shaw earned Coach of the Year honors in awards released by the league office this week.

Strickland, a Pike High School graduate, was joined by senior teammate Austin Weatherford as a first-team all-league selection. Seniors Jon Gerken and Nate Gissentanner captured honorable-mention all-conference accolades.

Strickland averaged a team-high 14.5 points per game to lead a Rose squad that won conference regular-season and tournament championships in the same season for the first time in school history. The civil-engineering major became the 29th member of Rose-Hulman’s 1,000-point club and has tallied 1,082 points in his career.

Strickland becomes the third Engineer in the coach Shaw era to earn Conference Player of the Year honors. Previous award winners were Bryan Egli (1999 National Player of the Year) and Philip Griffith (2004).

In addition, Strickland captured his second career all-conference award. He also was named the HCAC tournament’s Most Valuable Player during Rose’s 2012 title run at Transylvania that culminated with a career-high 30-point effort in the championship game.

Shaw captured his fourth career Coach of the Year honor after leading Rose-Hulman to a 24-3 record and a 16-2 conference mark to win the regular-season title. The Engineers backed up the effort by winning the league postseason tournament title with wins over Defiance and Hanover last weekend.

Shaw’s squad recorded the second-longest winning streak in school history at 11 games, then added an eight-game streak later in the season. The team’s 24 wins this year tie the previous school record set by the 1976-77 NCAA quarterfinal squad coached by John Mutchner.

Shaw enters the NCAA Division III tournament with a career record of 281-214 to rank second in school history in wins (281) and winning percentage (.568). His coaching staff includes fourth-year assistant coach Rusty Loyd and student assistant Blake Knotts.

Weatherford ranked second on the team with an average of 12.5 points per game and leads the squad with 95 assists and 39 steals. His career point total of 1,194 points ranks 16th in school history.

Gerken averaged 7.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in 26 starts this season. He has scored 755 career points in 106 appearances that also includes 77 starts as an Engineer and also was named to the conference all-sportsmanship team.

Gissentanner ranks third on the team in scoring at 7.8 points per game, including 10 double-figure scoring games this season. His career totals include 107 appearances and 849 career points.

No. 19-ranked Rose-Hulman (24-3) will square off with No. 12-ranked Calvin (24-3) in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament at 7 p.m. Saturday in Hulbert Arena. Rose vs. Calvin is the only one of 31 first-round NCAA matchups that features two teams in the d3hoops.com national top 20.

The Sycamore men are currently 31st nationally, marking the seventh straight week they have been among the top 35 of the nation.

The ISU women are coming off a second-place finish in the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference indoor championships, their best finish since they won the team title in 2001.

The Indiana State men won their second team title in three years in the MVC championships but fell out of the top 25 for the first time in three weeks.

• ISU baseball team builds on success with 14-2 rout

  Indiana State’s baseball victory over Alcorn State on Friday would take on more meaning Saturday if the Sycamores could build momentum and pick up on the good work they did in Friday’s ninth-inning rally.
  Mission accomplished.
  The Sycamores were aggressive from the opening inning at the plate and starting pitcher Devin Moore gave them eight valuable and effective innings on the mound as ISU defeated Alcorn State 14-2 at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a really good experience for everybody. It felt great to finally come out here and put some things together. It’s also really nice when your offense puts a lot of runs on the board,” Moore said.
  Moore’s eight innings of work were as valuable as gold to an ISU team that is short on quality arms due to injury and ineffectiveness. He didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning and one of the two runs he conceded was unearned.

  “We have to be fearless. You can’t be afraid at all,” said Hope, who has also catapulted herself into the NCAA’s elite in the event, ranking 15th in the NCAA with her leap of 13-feet, 9 1/4.

• Secret weapon: Kelsey Rosselli finishing Woods career with a bang

  At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, reporting game results to the Tribune-Star after a win or a loss is not always a high priority.
  So when one of its athletes enjoys an outstanding season, like senior Kelsey Rosselli is doing for the Pomeroys’ softball team in 2013, media publicity doesn’t always follow.
  In fact, her efforts almost seem like a government secret.
  Rosselli’s name might sound familiar to longtime Terre Haute softball followers because she was a standout for North High School, from where she graduated in 2009.
  Since then, she’s helped The Woods finish runner-up in three straight U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) national tournaments in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

• ISU baseball gets back into rhythm with victory

  Baseball is a rhythm game. With contests every day or five times a week in the case of many college programs, you have the chance to build on success or wallow in a slump.
  Mother Nature took that rhythm away from Indiana State’s team last week. After a 7-1 loss to Indiana on April 24, ISU was supposed to play a three-game series at Tennessee-Martin, but it was wiped out by rain.
  So the rhythm was disturbed, but perhaps that wasn’t a bad thing.
  ISU was in a five-game losing streak before its unintended vacation and the Sycamores made a move in the right direction Wednesday with a 7-0 win over DePauw at Bob Warn Field.
  “It was a disappointing weekend. We went all the way down to Tennessee and didn’t get to play. We sat around in the hotel room. We came here and it was still raining. It was nice to get out and see some live pitching,” ISU center fielder Landon Curry said.

  The ISU women’s golf team is the team that has ended at this time, with the group recording a sixth-place finish at the MVC championships one week ago.
