The William Woods University Athletics Hall of Fame announced Monday that Tracy Gastineau, Ashley Morgan and Saysha Sappenfield (Nevins) will comprise its fourth induction class.
The trio will formally join the Hall of Fame on Jan. 17, 2015.
Gastineau - a New Bloomfield graduate - was a two-sport standout as a student at William Woods and is currently the school's softball coach and associate athletic director.
From the dugout, Gastineau has coached the Lady Owls to 522 wins, six appearances in the NAIA national tournament and four American Midwest Conference regular-season and postseason titles. She has been named AMC Coach of the Year five times and Region V Coach of the Year twice.
Gastineau was a two-time all-district selection in softball at William Woods and an all-district basketball choice in her senior year.
"(William Woods athletic director) Jason Vittone was gracious enough to call my coach (Roger Temes), and he was the one that called and let me know I was inducted," Gastineau said. "So that was special, when the person that gave you the opportunity to be where you are as an athlete and as a coach, gives you the call.
"Obviously, it is a high honor and I love William Woods, as it is my alma mater and I've got ties as a student-athlete, coach and now an administrator."
Morgan - a member of the Lady Owls' soccer team from 2005-08 - is the school's all-time leader in points (151) and assists (29), while ranking third in goals (61).
She was a four-time all-AMC first-team pick and the conference's player of the year in 2007. Morgan was honorable-mention NAIA All-American on two occasions and garnered NAIA All-Region V recognition.
"I was completely surprised and humbled, as it was really amazing to hear that I was being inducted," Morgan said.
Sappenfield (Nevins) was a member of the William Woods softball team from 1995-98, and is still in possession of several school pitching records. She is the program leader in wins, saves, appearances, games started, complete games, innings pitched and batters faced, while ranking second in strikeouts.
Sappenfield (Nevins) earned second-team All-America honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, collected three first-team all-AMC awards and a pair of NFCA All-Region nods.
"My first reaction was joy when I found out about being inducted, but then it was followed by sadness that my father, who passed away in July, was not here to share the accomplishment with me," Sappenfield (Nevins) said. "I did not even fathom that an award like this was possible for me."
