Northwestern State Women’s Basketball

AFTER A SUCCESSFUL 2012-13, NSU LOOKS TO GO EVEN FURTHER IN 2013-14 Last season, co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr’s main goal was to change the culture of the Lady Demon basketball program that missed the conference tournament and won only six games the year before. In 2013-14, the two believe they have the program on the right track to being a competitive Division I program. “After having a year in the program, we feel like our fitness level is much better and where it needs to be in order to be a competitive Division I program, said Brooke Stoehr. “Our returners are healthy and they understand the daily expectations we have as a program. “Last season was as much about learning how we want to represent the program and what we do on a daily basis on and off the court to make that happen,” said the second year co-head coach. “I believe the wins we experienced last year helped propel them in the offseason and gave them some confidence to move into next season.” In 2012-13, Northwestern State finished eighth in the conference, but beat four of the top five teams in the Southland Conference. The first game of the conference season was a 64-62 win over defending league champion McNeese on a last second 3-pointer by SLC freshman of the year Co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr Janelle Perez. The Lady Demons also had upsets over Nicholls (64-55), Oral Roberts (67-63), and Sam Houston (59-50). NSU also enjoyed a victory over Central Arkansas who was led by three-time SLC player of the year Megan Herbert. “Our returners have a deeper understanding of what type of commitment level we’re asking for and their work ethic has greatly improved coming into this season,” said Stoehr. The 2013-14 season also marks the return of Trudy Armstead and Meredith Graf, the only two seniors on the squad. Graf missed last season after having shoulder surgery due to an injury she suffered in the 2010-11 season. Armstead returns after she was redshirted last season. “Having Meredith and Trudy on the floor will really provide some leadership and experience we lacked last season. They have experienced ups and downs in their careers and have dealt with some adversity along the way,” said Stoehr. I look forward to seeing how they respond to being back in game action in the heat of the moment.” Armstead has a career scoring average of 11.7 points per game, but finished the 2011-12 season with 14.2 points and 8.5 rebounds a game. The senior has a chance at becoming only the seventh player to join the 1,000-point/700 rebound club. Graf is a 3-point threat every time she is on the floor. She averaged 7.1 points a game in 2011-12. “Each of them has been solid for us in the preseason and are adjusting to how we do things now that they’re back on the court,” she said. “Just having their experience on the floor will be a nice mix with all the youth we have on the roster.” A majority of the 2013-14 roster will be made up of people who have one year or less of Division I experience, but the return of sophomores Perez and Keisha Lee will help bolster the youth. “I have seen the typical growth you see from the freshman to sophomore year from Janelle. She’s one that is always working on her game,” said Stoehr. Perez finished the year with 10.8 points and 3.3 assists per game. Her 100 assist totalranks her sixth all-time in NSU history for a freshman. She is the fourth-leading assists-giver returning to the conference. Senior Forward Trudy Armstead Senior Guard Meredith Graf “Her growth and improvement comes more from SLC Championships: 1994-95 • 1998-99 • 2003-04 SLC Tournament Championships: 2003-04

Season Outlook • Schedule a confidence standpoint. She looks very comfortable having been in our system for a year and looks confident in leading the team and running our offense,” said Stoehr. “The great thing about Janelle is she is never satisfied with her game and is constantly working to improve some area of her skill set.” Lee returns this season after showing tremendous progression in 2012-13. “Keisha had a big freshmen year from an offensive standpoint,” said Stoehr. “She really committed to increasing her fitness level and gained some valuable experience last year.” Lee is the top-returning scorer for NSU after she averaged 12.0 points per game a season ago. She finished the year second on the team behind Jasmine Upchurch. “Keisha has a strong desire to win and compete. She unSophomore Keisha Lee derstands teams will be looking to limit her looks on the offensive end this year,” said Stoehr. We’ve challenged her to bring the same energy on the defensive end of the floor and she’s ready to do that.” Eight newcomers are added to this season’s squad. “The newcomers have brought a great energy level to workouts this summer and in the preseason. Just having a complete roster allows for depth and competition we didn’t have last season,” said Stoehr. “It has been nice to watch the chemistry develop amongst the group. The newcomers, like the returners, have bought into our vision and are committed to getting the program back to a championship level.” The coaching staff feels that the newcomers added to the frontcourt will help make up for the loss of Upchurch. Breanna Fuller, who played in 28 games last season with two starts, returns. She averaged 12.4 minutes and two rebounds a game. 2012-13 SLC Freshman of the Year Janelle Perez Jasmine Bradley, who played both inside and outside, was the leading rebounder for Northwestern State last season with 6.4 boards a game. “Depth and size for the frontcourt was a priority,” said Stoehr. “Breanna Fuller had a nice offseason and has made some big strides from a strength and confidence standpoint. We have added some strength and size to the position and feel like we have the ability to be better defensively as well as on the boards.” NSU’s backcourt brings a lot of experience to the table. Perez and Lee each have a year under them, and coupled with Graf and Bradley’s return the Lady Demons have much-needed depth back. “Janelle and Keisha have proven they can execute our offensive system and played a tremendous amount of minutes as freshmen last season,” said Stoehr. “We now have the depth to add both experience and size on the perimeter and can get people in different places on the floor to take advantage of certain matchups.”

Brooke & Scott Stoehr

BROOKE STOEHR CO-HEAD COACH

SECOND SEASON AT NORTHWESTERN STATE • SECOND SEASON OVERALL LOUISIANA TECH (2002) Charged with the task of boosting the Northwestern State women’s basketball program back to the top of the Southland Conference, Athletics Director Greg Burke hired Brooke and Scott Stoehr on Apr. 4, 2012, as the program’s first co-head coaching duo in its then-38 year existence. The two immediately went to work winning twice the amount of contests than the year before the two were hired with the sixth most inexperienced team in the country. The 2012-13 squad had only one senior, two sophomores, and five freshmen. With a 12-18 overall record and 7-11 Southland Conference, the duo guided the program back to the league tournament. Through the course of the SLC season, the Lady Demons upset four of the top five teams in the final standings including Oral Roberts who went on to the NCAA Championship Tournament, Sam Houston who participated in the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WNIT), and McNeese who made it to the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). Their first recruiting class featured standout point guard Janelle Perez who was named All-Southland Conference and the freshman of the year. Brooke spent the last three years prior to NSU as an assistant coach at Texas Tech and recently helped guide the Lady Raiders to a third round appearance in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. Prior to Texas Tech, she spent a season on the staff at Southern Mississippi and three years on the staff at her alma mater, Louisiana Tech following a stay at Arkansas-Little Rock. The 33year old was a standout player at Hamburg (Ark.) High School and played collegiately at Louisiana Tech from 1998-2002 where she served as a two-year captain and starting point guard as a junior and senior, while leading the Lady Techsters to an impressive 11916 mark under legendary coach Leon Barmore. She was instrumental in leading Louisiana Tech to four NCAA Championship appearances, including the Final Four in 1999 and two more Elite Eight appearances. During her playing days, Louisiana Tech won four regular-season conference titles and conference tournament crowns, while only losing one conference game. The 2001 All-Sun Belt Conference selection ended her career ranked as the NCAA Division I all-time career free throw percentage leader at 91.5 percent, hitting 268-of-292 attempts.

SECOND SEASON OVERALL • SECOND SEASON AT NORTHWESTERN STATE NEBRASKA-WESLEYAN (1997)

followed that with stints at North Texas, Florida State, Arkansas-Little Rock and Louisiana Tech before leaving the college ranks for high school in 2008. At Southern Mississippi, Brooke worked primarily with the perimeter players. Her responsibilities also included recruiting, scouting opponents, film breakdown and assisting with all aspects of the Lady Eagle basketball camps. Prior to her stint at Southern Miss, she spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech, where her primary duties included serving as the academic counselor, recruiting with an emphasis in Arkansas and Louisiana, scouting reports, guard development, summer camps and overseeing the Lady Techster weight and conditioning program. While at Louisiana Tech, Stoehr was instrumental in development of the guards, which included three All-Western Athletic Conference selections and a WAC Player of the Year. She also helped Louisiana Tech claim back-to-back WAC regular-season titles as well as the program’s 25th-straight NCAA Championship appearance. She graduated from Tech in 2002 with a degree in business administration and obtained her master’s degree in sports administration from Florida State in 2004 Brooke spent her first two years as a full-time coach at ArkansasLittle Rock where she assisted with coaching guards, helped with recruiting, supervised preseason individual conditioning workouts and aided in summer basketball camps.

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

History of the Program Since the first team took the court in 1908, the women’s basketball program at Northwestern has always scored a lot of points and win a lot of games. From the formative days of the program, the Lady Demons have lit up the scoreboard. That’s never been more true than the last 25 years, with NSU ranking among the national scoring leaders year after year. The Lady Demons have finished as high as fourth in the nation in 1984-85 (88.0 ppg), 1985-86 (87.5) and 1989-90 (86.6). Dating back to the early 1970s, when little attention was given to women’s athletics in college, the Lady Demons were already drawing attention with winning records and postseason success. In fact, while women’s sports were not yet funded by the university budget, the Lady Demons earned a trip to the National Women’s Invitational Tournament in 1973, led by volunteer coach Lou Lewis Baxter, a physical education professor. Recognized officially (and funded) by the university for the 1974-75 season, the Lady Demons hit the court running, posting an 18-9 record under head coach Mary Jane Mayfield. In April, 1975 Northwestern became the first university in Louisiana to issue full athletic scholarships to women, when NSU athletes Pat Nolen, Diane Pittman, Emma Ellerman, Louise “Do” Bonin, Sherrill Landry, Terri McDonnell, Inez Brew, Mona Davidson, Janie Wallace and Margaret Langford were the recipients. Tammy Primeaux and Lisa Brewer were high school seniors who accepted scholarships to play basketball for the Lady Demons. In 1974-75, the Lady Demons advanced to the Louisiana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women basketball tournament, splitting four games with Southwestern Louisiana before moving onto the AIAW Region IV tournament. The Lady Demons repeated the accomplishment for the next three years under Charlotte Corley, posting a 14-13 record in state tournaments and an 8-8 mark in regional tournaments. While the Lady Demons were a powerful force in state women’s basketball under their first three coaches, it was under the leadership of Pat Nolen Pierson that the Lady Demons tasted their first bit of national recognition. After finishing her playing career with the Lady

Demons and graduating with honors, she came within one game of claiming a state championship in her only year of high school coaching at her alma mater, Pitkin High School. She took over the Northwestern program following that season, just 23 years old. During her nine years as head coach, the Lady Demons became a force on the national level as women’s basketball moved into the NCAA Division I mainstream around the country after playing in the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women in the 1970s. A formidable partnership was created when Pierson hired James Smith as assistant coach in 1980. He was responsible for installing the Lady Demons’ trademark fast-break offense. The Pierson-Smith tandem won 71 percent of their games (135-56) in their seven years together. During those years, Northwestern became a fixture in the national Top 10 scoring rankings. That attack appealed to top athletes like Lonnie Banks, Teressa Thomas, Annie Harris, Linda Grayson and Sandy Pugh, highly-recruited prep stars who became Lady Demon greats. The Lady Demons won three straight Gulf Star Conference championships (1984-86), receiving votes for the AP Top 20 each year. The 1985-86 squad made the biggest breakthrough, setting a single season record for victories and becoming the first Northwestern team to participate in postseason play at the NCAA Division I level. That team, led by Thomas, Banks and Harris, stunned 1985 NCAA Final Four entry Northeast Louisiana (ranked No. 4 in USA Today Top 25) 86-83 on Jan. 30, 1986. Northwestern had a 20-point halftime lead and held off a rally as Harris ripped in 37 points and Thomas pumped in 25 more to go along with eight assists and Banks, at 5-5, snagged 14 rebounds. A pair of late-season road losses at Southeastern Louisiana and Sam Houston probably kept the Lady Demons out of the 32-team NCAA Tournament. However, the NWIT issued an invitation to Northwestern and it was well-received on both ends. By the end of the NWIT in Amarillo, Texas, the Lady Demons had won over the local crowd and nearly won the tournament title. Seeded sixth, Northwestern topped Tennessee Tech, 77-71, and

NSU all-time leading rebounder, Joskeen Garner

squeaked by Duke, 89-88, on a last second jumper by Harris to reach the championship contest. As a crowd of 2,600 Texans cheered wildly “on another night in Lady Demon Land,” as the local newspaper put it, Northwestern battled to the last minute before falling 100-91 to Idaho. Thomas and Harris were All-Tournament picks. Thomas had a national record 19 assists in an 88-77 win over Mississippi College earlier in her senior year. The Lady Demons won a fourth straight conference title in 1986-87 with a win over Southwest Texas, sharing the title with Stephen F. Austin. Sandy Pugh was named conference MVP, the first time a Lady Demon was named conference MVP. At the end of the 1987 campaign, Pierson made a difficult decision and left Northwestern to rejuvenate the women’s basketball program at East Carolina. It was an easy decision, however, to elevate Smith to the head coaching position. In 17 years, he took the program to even greater heights while surpassing Pierson as the all-time winningest coach in Lady Demon history during the 1995-96 season. Senior Linda Grayson combined with junior college transfer Pam Hudson to lead another landmark year for the Lady Demons in 1988-89. Smith’s second team knocked off No. 11 Stephen F. Austin, 78-76, and earned an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. In 1989-90, the program took another huge step forward when Hudson won the Division I rebounding title (15.2 rpg), finished second in the scoring race (28.4 ppg) and rewrote school and Southland Conference records on the way to becoming the first major college All-American in Northwestern basketball history. She was a second-team pick on the Basketball Writers of America team and a honorable mention Kodak All-American. In 1993, the Lady Demons posted another winning campaign (24-8) with a freshman nucleus led by Joskeen Garner, the Southland Conference NCAA Tournament: 1988-89 • 2003-04 WNIT Appearances: 1985-86 • 1992-93 • 1994-95 • 1998-99


Northwestern State Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Year and a first team All-SLC pick. Northwestern accepted a bid to the NWIT and claimed the consolation championship (third place). The 1993-94 Lady Demons posted their 15th consecutive winning season with a 20-8 record as Garner was the nation’s second leading rebounder (13.8 rpg) and named Louisiana’s Co-Player of the Year with Pam Thomas of Louisiana Tech. Northwestern posted its fourth consecutive 20-win season en route to a record-tying 25-7 record in 1994-95. The Lady Demons captured their first Southland Conference championship, finishing league play with a 16-2 record. Northwestern lost to SFA in the tournament championship game, but accepted a bid to the NWIT for the second time in three years. The seventh-seeded Lady Demons were the surprise team in Amarillo, Texas. Northwestern opened with an 80-64 win over Clemson. They followed with a 103-93 win over Notre Dame in a semifinal shootout before losing a hard-fought battle against Texas A&M in the finals, 85-81. Joskeen Garner became the first Lady Demon since Pam Hudson to earn All-American honors, being named to the Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American team. The Lady Demons again posted impressive numbers in 1995-96 while posting their 17th straight winning season, one win shy of a fifth straight 20-win season. Northwestern went through a rebuilding process in 1996-97 but found a star in Judy Clark, named Southland Conference Freshman of the Year. The 1998-99 squad put their stamp on the the Lady Demon record books. The team reeled off 13 straight wins from Dec. 20, 1998 to Feb. 6, 1999, a new Lady Demon record and finished the year with a 22-7 overall record. Clark added another piece of hardware to her trophy case as she was selected Southland Confer-

ence Player of the Year. The Southland Conference regular season champions lost to Stephen F. Austin in the tournament finals, but once again were invited to the WNIT, the third time in six years for NSU. In a new format, the Lady Demons lost in the first round on the road against Arkansas. In 1999-00 the Lady Demons (24-6) notched an .800 winning percentage, the best in school history. The Lady Demons also had the third most wins in school history. The 1999-00 season did end in disappointment, however, as the Lady Demons failed to earn a bid to the NCAA tournament despite a higher RPI ranking than several teams offered bids. The 2000-01 team led by Kia Converse rolled off a school-record 15 straight wins from Jan. 1 to March 8, finishing the season with a mark of 23-7. The Lady Demons advanced to the tournament finals, only to lose to SFA. Converse became the SLC’s all-time best 3-point shooter with 218 career 3s. The 2003-04 team looked loaded in what turned out to be Coach Smith’s final season, and the pieces fell into place. The Lady Demons rolled through the SLC season with a 14-2 mark, including an 11-0 start. The team finished 24-7, tying for the second most wins in a season while winning the SLC regular-season and tournament crowns, advancing to the second NCAA Tournament in school history. Cooda Dobin became NSU’s all-time assist leader with 921 career dishes. She also became the first player in NCAA history, men or women, to lead the nation in assists per game for three straight seasons. She was featured in the NCAA Final Four official program. Dobin later returned to the Lady Demon program as an assistant coach for the 2011-12 season. On Sept. 1, 2004, the torch was passed. Smith stepped down as head coach and Lady Demon player and assistant coach Jennifer Graf, after being groomed by her mentor for the last two seasons, took over as head coach. Graf stepped down at NSU after accumlating over 100 wins for the Lady Demons at the conclusion of the 2011-12 season, and on Apr. 4, 2012 the first set of co-head coaches in progarm history was hired. Brooke Stoehr, who started at point guard for rival Louisiana Tech from 2000-02, was hired from Texas Tech with her husband Scott. Four Lady Demons have had their jerseys retired after great careers. Hanging in the rafters of Prather Coliseum, alongside the many championship banners, are Pam Hudson’s No.45, Linda Grayson’s No. 33, Lonnie Banks’ No. 10, and Teressa Thomas’ No. 25. It’s a safe bet, looking at the fast track record of success for Lady Demon hoops, that more banners will be raised soon.

Linda Grayson is NSU’s all-time leading scorer and the only Lady Demon with 2,000 or more points

University Administration

Dr. Randall J. Webb Northwestern State President

Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State University’s 18th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his Alma Mater the best institution it could be. In his 18th year, it’s clear that Webb is achieving that admirable goal. Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as president and exceeded 10,500 for the first time in history in the fall of 2004. Webb has also been at the forefront in recent years of moving the university toward higher admission standards, which has resulted in some enrollment declines but in the enrollment of students with greater academic potential

and aptitude. Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score of students has gone up, and high school student leaders are enrolling in Northwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern has received more grant monies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foundations than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. NSU offers courses and degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall have been completely renovated and restored. A new Student Services Center on the site of the former West Caspari Hall was completed in May 2012. Over $32 million in construction by a private company has added two modified residence halls to the campus in recent years. Funding has also been obtained to rebuild the East Caspari Hall and replace the underground electrical distribution system. Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program, for example, won five consecutive national championships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSU men’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national championship tournament. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of directors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Executive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. He currently serves as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate programs. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Program and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, the NatchitochesNorthwestern Symphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in Long Valley,N.J., with their children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in St. Louis with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin. Randy and Brenda Webb

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a handful of people have served Northwestern State as long as Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 49th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He begins his 23rd year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relaNSU Athletic Council tions and assists President Dr. Randall J.

His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 57 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College (1978-85); administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In his 18th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Last February, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. About to begin a term on the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance, Burke previously served on the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 17 years as athletic director include 35 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 59 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; and a $500,000 softball grandstand project completed earlier this year. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, notably current staffers Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; 2013 Louisiana softball coach of the Year Donald Pickett; Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman, who just led the volleyball program to its best season in the 31-year history of the program; and several whose success at Northwestern State propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Along with the aforementioned volleyball surge, NSU’s soccer program was the first in Louisiana to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball and tennis made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013, the second in four seasons for Lady Demon tennis. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 19-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and attends Louisiana Tech.

Since 2006, Northwestern State University has made numerous paradigm shifts in how it addresses the needs of student-athletes; however, one thing has been consistent in that its student-athletes are winners on the field and in the classroom. All have heard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Doing Things the Right Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – Brighter Future. This past year, NSU was one of only four schools in the State of Louisiana that did not receive any penalties for low NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) with baseball, soccer, softball, tennis, women’s indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball rating in the top three in the Southland Conference. Among the 40 Northwestern State student-athletes and athletic staff members who graduated in spring 2010, 10 of the 20 receiving undergraduate degrees graduated either cum laude or magna cum laude.
