(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)

Missouri Southern head softball coach Melissa Chmielewski today (April 21st) announced the signing of Emilee Meyer for the 2018 season.

Meyer comes to the Lions after red-shirting her sophomore season at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. During her freshman season with the Eagles, she helped KCC to a 58-6 record that included a NJCAA D2 District 11 title and an appearance in the NJCAA D2 World Series. Meyer played in 64 games with a batting average of .404 with 65 hits and was fourth in the NJCAA D2 in scoring with 85 runs. Emilee was also 13th in the nation in stolen bases during her freshman season with 36 and earned second team All-Region honors.

"We are really excited about the addition of Emilee," said Chmielewski. "She will add speed and versatility in the outfield for us. She is a great person with a competitive spirit and we're lucky to have her."

She was a three-time letter winner in the outfield for Muscatine (Iowa) HS prior to KCC. She was a two time first team All-Conference selection while hitting .495 as a junior and .406 during her senior campaign. She was 16-for-18 in stolen bases during her junior year and went 43-for-46 her senior season. During her junior season, she helped lead the Muskies to a IHSAA (Iowa High Schools Athletic Association) Class 5A fifth place finish and earned second team All-State honors. Meyer was also a two time second team All-Metro and first team All-Area selection during her time at MHS and was a four-time academic All-Conference honoree. Emilee also played volleyball, basketball, and ran track for the Muskies earning eight additional letters in those sports.

Meyer plans to major in biology at Southern and is the daughter of Brian and Jennifer Meyer.
