(LEBANON, Ill., Oct. 1)--The McKendree University Sports Hall of Fame will have four inductees into its 2015 class. The quartet will be honored at the Alumni Awards Dinner that will be held in conjunction with Homecoming activities at McKendree on Saturday evening, Oct. 3. The ceremony will take place at The Hettenhausen Center for the Arts on the McKendree campus.

The 2015 McKendree Sports Hall of Fame induction class includes: Derwood (Woody) Derickson (baseball and basketball), Class of 1960, Darrell Flake (basketball), Class of 2005; Kayla (White) Moll (softball), Class of 2009; and Rebekah (Diers) VanScoyk (women's bowling), Class of 2010. 

DERWOOD (WOODY) DERICKSON
Derwood "Woody" Derickson played both baseball and basketball during his playing days at McKendree. However, it was the baseball diamond where Derickson made his mark with his talent and versatility.
 
Derickson was a key contributor for the Bearcats' baseball squad during his three seasons with the program. In his first season of 1957, he was second on the team in several statistical categories including hits (29), runs scored (28), home runs (4) and triples (2). McKendree captured the Prairie Collegiate Conference (PCC) championship as well. In 1958 Derickson was part of a McKendree team that went a perfect 10-0 in PCC play and carried a collective batting average of .349. He was a big reason for the team's lofty batting average as he finished the year hitting at a team-best .460 clip. Derickson also led the Bearcats that season with 30 runs scored while finishing second in fielding assists with 53.
 
During his senior season of 1960, Derickson helped carry McKendree to its seventh consecutive PCC championship. The Bearcats won 17 games that year as he once again put up some solid offensive numbers. Derickson led McKendree with 19 walks while tying for the team lead with four round-trippers. In addition, Derickson was second on the 1960 team with a .390 batting average, 32 base hits and 10 stolen bases.
 
In 1958, he was among those invited for a special workout with the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.
 
Not limiting his talents to the baseball diamond, Derickson was also a part of the Bearcats' basketball program. He earned All-Tournament honors for McKendree while playing in the Concordia Invitational.
 
Throughout the years, Derickson has remained a loyal fan and booster of McKendree athletics. 

DARRELL FLAKE
Darrell Flake only played two seasons with the McKendree men's basketball program, yet he had one of the most dominant careers in Bearcat history in that short span. Flake was a dominant force in the paint both offensively and defensively as McKendree enjoyed an extended run as one of the top programs in Division I of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
 
A two-year starter at forward for McKendree, Flake posted a career total of 1,499 points. While that figure stands 24^th on the Bearcats' all-time scoring list, it is the highest point output by a two-year player in the program's lengthy history. Flake averaged 21.1 points while at McKendree, including a team-leading 23.7 points per contest as a senior in 2001-02. With a smooth shooting touch, he connected on 68.1 percent of his field goal attempts, which is the highest percentage in program history.
 
In addition to his proficiency as a scorer, Flake was just as effective in the rebounding department. Over his 71-game career with McKendree, Flake hauled in 633 rebounds. He averaged just under nine rebounds per outing, and finished second on the team in rebounding in each of his two seasons with the Bearcats.
 
As a junior in 2000-01, Flake led all of NAIA Division I in field goal percentage by hitting 67.7 percent of his shots from the field. He also averaged 18.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per contest as McKendree posted 27 victories and earned a bid to the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship. He followed that with an even more memorable season as a senior in 2001-02. In addition to leading the Bearcats in scoring at 23.7 points per game, Flake pulled down 8.9 rebounds per outing while shooting 68.4 percent from the field. He helped McKendree to the American Midwest Conference Tournament championship and a No. 2 seed at the NAIA national tournament. His 831 points scored as a senior ranks second on the Bearcats' single-season chart.
 
Post-season honors were plentiful for Flake in his two years at McKendree. He was a two-time first-team All-Conference selection in the AMC and collected conference Player of the Year accolades as a senior. Flake earned honorable mention All-America status from the NAIA in 2000-01 before being named as a first-team All-America selection a year later.
 
Following his playing days at McKendree, Flake went on to a productive basketball career overseas. While starring in Iceland's Premier League, Flake won consecutive Player of the Year awards in 2006-07 and 2007-08 while playing for Skallagrimur. 

KAYLA (WHITE) MOLL
Kayla (White) Moll was a catalyst at the top of the McKendree University softball lineup during her four-year career with the Bearcats. Relying on her blazing speed both on the basepaths and while roaming the outfield, Moll capped her career by helping McKendree to its final NAIA National Championship appearance.
 
During her freshman campaign in 2006, Moll burst onto the scene for McKendree by setting team single-season records for runs scored (57) and doubles (18), both of which still stand at the time of her induction. She followed that by establishing new team season marks in triples (9) and walks (26), which also still top the Bearcats' record book at the time of induction. As a sophomore in 2007, Moll put together a career-best 26-game hit streak, which is still the fourth-longest hit streak in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) history. That same year, Moll reached base in 46 consecutive contests. She was a four-year starter for the Bearcats and was part of teams that posted 128 victories during that span.
 
As a senior in 2009, Moll put together a late-season run that culminated with McKendree's second AMC Tournament championship in three years. After dropping their first game of the tournament, the Bearcats roared back by winning their final six games of the event, including three games on the final day of play to wrap up the crown. The AMC Tournament title propelled the Bearcats into the NAIA National Championships for the first time in a decade.
 
In each of her four seasons at McKendree, Moll earned first-team All-Conference honors from the American Midwest Conference. In addition, she was a first-team All-NAIA Region V honoree as a junior in 2008. Off the field, Moll was a four-time Academic All-Conference selection.
 
At the time of her induction, Moll holds McKendree career records in five different categories: hits (255), runs scored (167), doubles (51), triples (24) and walks (82).  She played in all but four of the Bearcats' games during her four-year career, and appeared in each McKendree contest as a sophomore, junior and senior.

REBEKAH (DIERS) VanSCOYK
Rebekah (Diers) VanScoyk helped raise the visibility of the McKendree University women's bowling program on a national scale during her four years as a member of the program. Thanks to a combination of consistent performance and year-round dedication, VanScoyk and her teammates helped establish a standard of excellence on the lanes that elevated the Bearcats into national prominence.
 
In each of VanScoyk's four years as a part of the McKendree women's bowling team, the Bearcats earned the right to bowl in the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championships, which serves as the collegiate national championship event. As a sophomore in 2007, VanScoyk showed the way for McKendree as she led the squad to a second-place finish in the 16-team field, which marked the highest finish for the Bearcats in the tournament to date. For her efforts, she was named the tournament's Most Valuable Bowler. That same year, VanScoyk also qualified for the USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships and placed third overall.
 
As a senior in 2009, VanScoyk again led McKendree deep into competition at the USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships. The Bearcats finished third at the tournament as VanScoyk earned both All-Tournament honors along with Chris Stoehr Sportsmanship Award at the conclusion of the event. She also competed at the USBC Intercollegiate Singles Championships once again in 2009 and reached the quarterfinals of the 16-player tournament.
 
In 2008, VanScoyk won the USBC Youth Open Championship All-Events title to earn a spot in the Bowling's Clash of Champions that was held in May 2009. Facing an elite field that consisted of 16 bowlers, VanScoyk battled her way all the way to the championship match before taking home a second-place finish. At the time of her induction, VanScoyk is still the only McKendree bowler to compete in the Clash of Champions.
 
During her four years at McKendree, VanScoyk captured numerous in-season tournament titles and All-Tournament accolades. She was a two-time first-team All-America selection by the National Collegiate Bowling Coaches Association (NCBCA), with the accolades coming following her junior and senior seasons.
