The team finished with their second 40-win season and are the first team to earn 30 wins in a league season.

He led the team to their second Crossroads League regular season championship and guided the ladies to their third league tournament title, which MU hosted a Midwest Sports Complex in Indianapolis. The team came back from the loser's bracket, in their fifth straight title game appearance, to earn the championship and the bid to the NAIA National Championships Opening Round.

In 2010, he guided the Knights to their best-ever record of 42-6 and guided MU to a 16-0 mark in the then-MCC. While the Knights missed out on a trip to the NAIA tournament, it was the winningest season in program history and culminated with Fleming being named MCC Coach of the Year for the second straight season. From 2008 through 2013, under Fleming's tutelage, the Knights amassed 30 or more wins each season, won the league/conference title three times, won the league/conference tournament twice and lost no more than seven games in a league season.
