Rockford University

Shaun Dascher enters the Charles M. DeWild Hall of Fame following a highly-decorated three-year career as a member of the Rockford University baseball team. The Regents baseball program saw an unprecedented stretch of success from 2007-09 with Dascher on the team, finishing no lower than second in the conference standings in any year. Rockford won back-to-back Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) Championships and back-to-back NAC Tournament Titles for the first and only time in program history. The Regents won a school record 29 games in 2007 and followed that up with a pair of 27-win seasons, racking up the most wins (83) over a three-year period in program history. Rockford also set or tied nine single-season team records during that span, including at bats, doubles and hit by pitches. 

Dascher was one of the top outfielders in the conference and in the region, earning postseason recognition in each of his three years at Rockford. As a sophomore, he was named NAC Honorable Mention and Third Team All-Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA). Dascher then earned First Team All-NAC honors in each of his final two years and was once again selected Third Team All-Region by the ABCA during his senior season. At the national level, Dascher was ranked in the top 30 in six statistical categories combined as a junior and a senior. As a senior, he was third amongst NCAA Division III baseball players in hit by pitches, seventh in hit by pitches per game, tenth in runs per game and twentieth in runs scored.

Despite only spending three seasons in a Regent uniform, Dascher still holds multiple school records and is ranked in the top-15 in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) in several career categories. He holds the Rockford University hit by pitch records for a single-game (3), a single-season (20) and a career (49). Dascher is also second all-time in NACC in career on-base percentage (.494) and hit by pitches and fourteenth in runs scored (150) and triples (8). At the conclusion of his collegiate career, Dascher had a .376 batting average, a .494 on-base percentage and a .530 slugging percentage. He finished with 173 hits, 28 doubles, 8 triples, 9 home runs, 93 runs batted in, 150 runs scored, 61 walks and 42 stolen bases in 46 attempts, for an impressive 91.3 stolen base percentage.
