Coach Babinski begins his forth year at MidAmerica coming from another standout season holding the team's reigns. Last year marked the 3rd season in a row his Pioneers advanced to the Regional Tournament in Springfield, Missouri. In addition to the Regional appearance, the 2007 Lady Pioneers finished second in one of the toughest softball conferences in the NAIA, the Heart of America Conference. This tied the school's best finishes set in 2006 and 2003. Under Coach Babinski's leadership his team has set many individual and team season records including Wins 40, Winning Percentage .769, Batting Average .337, Slugging Percentage .513, On-Base Percentage .402, Hit-By-Pitches 26, Hits 470, Total Bases 715, Stolen Bases 150, Runs 349, RBI's 295, Doubles 102, and Homeruns 33. He has also led them to national top 25 rankings on 2 separate occasions. Since Babinski began as Head Coach in the fall of 2004 the Pioneers have been 92-52 (.639 pct.) and qualified to the Region V tournament all three years. In fact, MidAmerica had only gone to the Region V tournament twice before in the school's history. He is looking to lead this year's Pioneers to another trip to the Region V Tournament with his hopes set on advancing to the National Tournament and competing for the National Title. Coach Babinski comes to MidAmerica after two seasons as an assistant coach at NCAA D-I Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Coach Sitler has been an amazing asset to the Lady Pioneers. She starts her third year as assistant under Coach Babinski. "Coach Kim has been vital to the softball program", says Babinski, "I can honestly say we would not have been as strong of a team, setting records and advancing to Regionals these last few years if it wasn't for her!" Coach Kim coaches the battery as she oversees both pitchers and catchers. In the spring of 2005, she finished her playing career after transferring from Washburn University. She was a standout catcher who turned the heads of all of her opponents. She was named 1st team all conference and 1st team all region as catcher. She was a standout as a player and is a standout as a coach. She has done an amazing job thus far and will continue to be a main reason for the Pioneers success. Kim is married to Jake and has an 18month old son named Caleb.

Coach Juber continues to show why he is a vital part of the Pioneer makeup. Kevin was a 2005 graduate of MidAmerica who was introduced to college softball in the spring of 2005 as he was Coach Babinski's Undergrad Assistant. He spent the 2006 year in Iowa before coming back to the staff last year for his first full year of coaching. Coach Juber's focus is on the offense as he works with the hitters. He also is a key recruiting, helping us find the absolute best fits for our program.
