Coach Keri Becker Served Country in 2003
   Ferris State softball coach Keri Becker missed the 2003 season as a result of being called to active duty in the United States of America Army Reserves.
   Becker reported to Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., for training
in February, then served at the Military Command Center in Doha, Qatar.
   “I’m truly honored to go and knew this might happen when I enlisted 10 years ago,” said Becker, who held the rank of sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves at the time of her deployment.
   The program’s all-time winningest coach, Becker has compiled a current 201-125 overall record (.617 winning pct.) in six seasons at Ferris State. Becker recorded her 200th career coaching victory at the 2002 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Softball Tournament in Ashland, Ohio, as the Bulldogs posted a 5-4 triumph over the Hillsdale Chargers.
   Despite serving overseas, Becker was named 2003 GLIAC Coach of the Year by the other coaches in the league.
   “Her being given this award shows that the other coaches in the league see the same high qualities in her that I see,” said Athletics Director Tom Kirinovic, who also sees the award as a tribute to the other GLIAC coaches. “Not many other groups of coaches would be able to come together to make an award like this one possible.”
   Assistant coaches Lesa Bickley and Chad Haberland headed the team in Becker’s absence.
