THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE

4

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 academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. What began as a small gathering of college administrators 50 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 10 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current member Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology), 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 welcomes the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma and the Tulsa metropolitan area. The Southland will soon welcome four additional members, including Houston Baptist University, the University of New Orleans, Abilene Christian University and the University of Incarnate Word for the 2013-14 academic year. This gives the league members in key population centers Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans, all home to significant student-recruitment and alumni bases. Further, original Southland member Abilene Christian, one of the most decorated athletic programs in the NCAA, will return to the league after a 40-year absence. In addition to its newest and incoming 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. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses approximately 120,000 current

students and an alumni base of nearly 700,000. 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 stars Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), Grammy Award-winning musicians Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), NFL standout Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), PGA Tour golfer Chris Stroud (Lamar), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar, Stephen F. Austin), The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as Houston, New Orleans, Tulsa and Little Rock, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport. The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and

women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already broadcast more than 130 events. The network is expanding its reach to roughly 11 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in 201213. In its first four years, the regional network has received recognition for its work, earning College Sports Media and Telly Awards on a regular basis. 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. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2011, Sam Houston State finished the regular season undefeated and ranked No. 1 nationally, and advanced to the NCAA national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in seven national championship games since the league joined the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 99 Division I playoff games in 30 years, winning 48 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA


Dan Rather, Sam Houston State

Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests. The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 national championship. McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned five trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas made its playoff debut in 2011. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs. The Southland has produced 163 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level. The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (205) in the National Football League draft. The league also ranks third in the FCS with 25 players taken in the draft since 2000 and has 13 former players on NFL rosters heading into the 2012 season.

The Southland Conference has also sent such talent to the professional ranks as Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Felton Huggins (Southeastern Louisiana), Minnesota’s Rhett Bomar (Sam Houston State), Jacksonville’s Bryan Smith (McNeese State) and Larry Hart (Central Arkansas), Tennessee’s Jacob Ford (Central Arkansas), Baltimore’s Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Seattle’s Dominique Edison (Stephen F. Austin) and Green Bay’s Antonio Robinson (Nicholls State), who became the Southland’s 24th player to win a Super Bowl when the Packers beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV in Arlington in 2011. Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw. The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman. In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports. Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 45-plus years. The league has sent two teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa,

64-63, in first-round action. The league also saw three of its current teams, including newcomer Oral Roberts, reach the postseason in 2011. Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led teams in the Southland. In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member LouisianaMonroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins. In each of the last three seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2011, half of the current members, five (including newcomer Oral Roberts), earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 12 times, including each of the last six years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper. Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland. In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 Conference has had more players win that award.

The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft. Seventeen players were selected in 2012, a year after the league saw 25 players taken in 2011, which matched 1995 for the most in its history. The league, which has had 456 draft picks all time, has had two players, Ben Sheets (Louisiana-Monroe) and Michael Choice (UT Arlington) taken seventh in the draft, marking the league’s highest-ever draft picks. In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. After 26 years as a college head coach, including his last five years at Sam Houston State, Mark Johnson retired following the 2011 season with 1,043 career wins. He is among an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells. Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationally-ranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin at No. 3 Texas. In 20 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 15 wins. The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member UT Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&MCorpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter

run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time AllAmericans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships. Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and UT Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past four seasons the Southland has sent 10 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010 and one each in 2011 and 2012. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black. In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007. In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a fouryear period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament four times in the last six years.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female studentathletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, studentathletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 979 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2012 spring semester. While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last six years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

Tom Burnett was named the Southland Conference’s sixth commissioner on Dec. 23, 2002, and brought a diverse background in athletics administration experience at the conference and national levels. Now the secondlongest tenured full-time commissioner in league history, Burnett is completing his 10th year of service with the Southland, and has a conference administrative background reaching well over two decades. Burnett has helped to enhance the Southland’s membership, with the recent addition of Oral Roberts University, and the upcoming entry of Houston Baptist University, the University of New Orleans, Abilene Christian University and the University of the Incarnate Word in 2013-14. The additional member institutions will give the Southland 14 members, the largest configuration in its 50-year history. The league’s television exposure has expanded under his watch with the creation of the Southland Conference Television Network in 2008. This broadcast venture has since featured approximately 130 unique sports and promotional telecasts to a potential viewing audience of more than 13 million television households. The Southland also signed a multi-year agreement with the ESPN family of networks in 2010, and the league has enjoyed beneficial relationships with Fox Sports Net Southwest, Cox Sports Television and Comcast SportsNet Houston. He also led the successful community-wide effort to bring the 2011-13 NCAA Division I Football Championship Games to Frisco, Texas, as the Southland serves as the host conference for the national title contests at Pizza Hut Park. A leading proponent for the Football Championship Subdivision, Burnett also organized the FCS Summit, a

national gathering of athletic directors, commissioners, NCAA staff and other key football stakeholders held prior to the national championship games in Frisco. A former member of both the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Academic Performance and the Division I Football Academic Working Group, Burnett also served as the FCS Vice President for the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA) in 2007-08. He currently serves on the FCS Working Group that consists of presidents, commissioners, athletic directors and coaches. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for NCAA Football, the organization that serves to improve, promote and protect college football for those who play, coach and support the game. In 2004, Burnett also began the league’s renewed efforts to secure corporate sponsorships. Since then, the Southland has secured sponsorship agreements with State Farm Insurance, Capital One Bank, Toyota, American Airlines, Royal Purple Motor Oil, Best Western Hotels, O’Reilly Auto Parts, BellSouth, Aeropostale, Holiday Inn, Academy Sports and Outdoors, and Advantage Rent-A-Car. He also initiated efforts to bring the Southland Conference basketball tournaments to a neutral site in the Houston area, giving the league a year-end celebration of the sport at a centralized location near much of the Southland’s largest alumni and student bases. Prior to joining the Southland, Burnett spent nearly 11 years in a number of roles with the Sun Belt Conference, including stints as associate and assistant commissioner, and director of communications. He also served two years on the staff of the American South Conference,

and started his career on the athletic staff at Louisiana Tech University. His previous responsibilities included championships administration, public and media relations, television production and negotiation, scheduling, marketing, NCAA championship and committee service, and football bowl experience. While at the Sun Belt, Burnett worked in the development of football as a league-sponsored sport, and was an administrator with the New Orleans Bowl, which began in 2001. He also produced the Sun Belt’s television packages with ESPN Regional Television, which debuted in 2002. In addition, he has experience negotiating television agreements with regional sports networks such as Fox Sports Net, Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast and numerous local television stations and cable systems. He also provided oversight of Sun Belt championship events and administered more than 100 league tournaments. In 2000, he began exclusively administering the Sun Belt’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, which grew from minimal financial successes into events that grossed the conference $1.2 million during a three-year period. Burnett has also served in an administrative capacity with numerous NCAA events, including national championships in men’s and women’s basketball, track and field, baseball and volleyball. He represented the Southland Conference on the NCAA Division I Management Council in 2004-05, and served on the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Governance Committee from 2004-06. Burnett previously served on the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, and the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee. Burnett, 48, is a native of Houston, Texas, and is a 1988 graduate of Louisiana Tech University, where he studied journalism and spent one year as the sports editor of the school’s student newspaper. He and his wife Tracy, a native of Baton Rouge, La., are the parents of a son, Cole, and a daughter, Jesse.

After winning four regular-season team championships and finishing in the top four in seven other sports, Stephen F. Austin claimed its second Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup in 2011-12. Stephen F. Austin compiled 145.5 points to edge Texas State, which had 140.0 points. The Lumberjacks won their second Cup in the last three years and has now finished in the top three in the last four Cup standings. SFA is one of five Southland universities to win at least two Commissioner’s Cups, joining Sam Houston State, UT Arlington, UTSA and Texas State. The SFA men had 65.5 points to finish tied for second place with UT Arlington in the men’s all-sports trophy standings behind Lamar, which had 67.5 points. The Lumberjacks, who won the previous two all sports trophies, finished in the top three in four sports and finished fourth in another two. SFA finished second in men’s basketball and had third-place rankings in football and indoor and outdoor track and field. The men’s cross country and golf teams each had fourth-place showings in their respective conference championships. The SFA women totaled 80.0 points to finish second behind Texas State in the standings for the women’s all-sports trophy. The Ladyjacks claimed a league-best four regular-season championships, winning soccer, indoor track and field, tennis and outdoor track and field. In women’s soccer, the Ladyjacks put together the school’s best season with an undefeated conference record. The indoor and outdoor track and field titles were the seventh and eighth consecutive victories for the senior class, setting a Southland record. The Ladyjacks have finished in the top-three of the women’s all-sports trophy in each of the last five years. The SFA women last claimed the trophy outright in 2010. The first-place finish for the men’s all-sports trophy for Lamar is its best finish since the Cardinals came in second in 2008. The Lamar men finished first in both cross country and golf while placing third in men’s basketball. The cross country championship for the Cardinals was their sixth consecutive title and league-leading 11th overall in the sport. The title in men’s golf was the 24th overall and the program’s first since 2009. Texas State claimed its 12th women’s all-sports trophy and its 10th in the last 12 years with 93.0 points. The Bobcats won conference titles in volleyball and softball and finished second in soccer, golf and tennis. The Texas State women finished third at the indoor and outdoor track and field championships and had a fourth-place showing in cross country. The women’s basketball program had a fifth-place finish to complete a successful 2011-12 Texas State women’s campaign for all sports. UTSA (138.5) finish third in the Commissioner’s Cup standings behind Texas State by less than two points. Lamar (129.0) and Sam Houston State (120.5) came in fourth and fifth place, respectively.

The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually to the top overall athletics program in the Southland. Texas State leads all member institutions with four. In the 15-year history of the Commissioner’s Cup, UT Arlington and Sam Houston State each have three, Stephen F. Austin and UTSA have two apiece, and Northwestern State has one. The Southland Conference all-sports trophies are awarded annually for men’s and women’s competition based on a 12-point system for all conference sports. Point values are 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, pending place of finish. Regular-season standings are used for sports that have a conference tournament.

Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll

Now called the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the Southland Conference acknowledges all participants in all sports sponsored by the league and its member institutions. The honor roll is released within 30 days at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, recognizing student-athletes who maintained a 3.0 or better grade-point average. Student-athletes, nominated by their respective academic advisors, must have been eligible to compete in a Conference sport during the academic year in which the nomination occurs. The honor roll was first dubbed Southland Conference All-Academic and then the Southland Conference Honor Roll. It changed for a third time to the Commissioner’s List, beginning with the 1996-97 season, before acquiring its current title in the 2003-04 academic year.

The Southland Conference announces all-academic teams in all 17 championship sports to recognize those student-athletes who excel in the classroom and on the field or court. Nominated by each institution’s athletic media relations director and selected by a voting contingent made up of sports information directors, head coaches and academic or compliance administrators, all-academic team members must have posted at least a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, completed at least one full academic year at the member institution prior to the season in which the nomination occurs, and competed in a minimum of 50 percent of the sport’s contests during the most recently completed season. Student-athletes receiving CoSIDA national academic honors are automatically named to the Southland all-academic first team. All-academic teams are announced in conjunction with the conference’s student-athlete of the year in each sport. One team shall be selected for cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field within 30 days following the outdoor championship.

Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year

Established in the 2002-03 academic year, the conference honors one studentathlete from each of the 17 championship sports who achieves excellence in academics, athletics and community/campus service. The student-athlete of the year, selected by the league’s awards committee, will have attained athletics achievement for at least two years at the nominating institution, possess at least a 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and demonstrated extracurricular service at his/her campus and/or community. The recipient of the student-athlete of the year award is announced in conjunction with the all-academic teams in each sport.

Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete

Beginning with the 1996-97 season, the conference annually recognizes the outstanding male and female student-athletes from each of the league’s member institutions. Student-athletes must be a letterwinner with a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and have completed at least two years of intercollegiate competition at the school from which he/she was nominated. The student-athletes are selected by their respective institution administrators.

McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship is presented annually to graduating male and female letterwinners with the highest cumulative grade-point averages during their enrollment at Southland member schools. The $2,500 scholarship must be applied to graduate study at an institution of the recipient’s choice. The award was established in memory of Dr. F.L. McDonald in 1996-97, a former president of Lamar University and 1999 Southland Hall of Honor inductee. McDonald served as Lamar’s president in 1963 when the Southland Conference was established and is considered one of the league’s founding fathers. Each member institution may nominate one male and one female student-athlete who meet the following criteria: a letterwinner in a Conference sport, be on track to graduate during the spring in which they are nominated or the subsequent summer, and plan to attend graduate school no later than the second fall following the receipt of the award.

The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award was established to recognize a Southland Conference male and female student-athlete who exhibits outstanding qualities in citizenship, sportsmanship, leadership and community service. In addition to the two recipients, others nominated will also be honored with campus awards. McCarty retired from Stephen F. Austin in August, 2005. He had been with SFA for 21 years, the last 15 as athletics director.

La’Terrica Dobin, Northwestern State The 2013 season marks the 50th year of Southland Conference athletics. Since the league started sponsoring women’s basketball in 1982-83, the conference has experience a great deal of success.

The Southland has had its share of women’s basketball tradition, with Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport as one of eight programs in the NCAA with over 800 wins. Women’s basketball standouts have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Sue Gunter, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper. Blair and Gunter have both received honors as two of the NCAA’s all-time greatest coaches. In the national polls, the league has also experienced success as Stephen F.

In addition, former member Louisiana-Monroe finished No. 13 in 1984 and No. 2 in 1985. In 1983 Louisiana-Monroe was the league’s first representative in the NCAA Tournament, winning the Southland’s first postseason contest in an opening round game that same season, followed by another win the following year. In 1985, Louisiana-Monroe showed the league’s progress, as it advanced to the Final Four. In 30 NCAA Tournaments, the league has won a first or opening round game 12 times. The league has competed in the WNIT 11 times, as Northwestern State became the first school to compete in the event in 1993. The Demons got the league’s

In the 1995 WNIT, Northwestern State advanced to the championship game, the second trip in school history, as it played in the 1986 WNIT Championship before joining the Southland Conference in 1988. In 2010, the Southland accomplished its first trifecta as three league programs reached the postseason in the same year. After winning its first conference tournament title, Lamar faced West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament. Stephen F. Austin played Creighton in its third WNIT appearance and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi was one of 16 teams invited to compete in the inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitational and reached the semifinals recording its first two postseason wins in school history. In 2011, McNeese State tied the NCAA record for the best turnaround from the previous season by posting 19 more wins and earning its first NCAA appearance. The Southland once again sent three teams into the postseason with McNeese State playing in the NCAA Tournament, Lamar competing in the WNIT and Central Arkansas earning its first-ever Division I postseason berth with an invite to the WBI. For the first time in conference history in 2012, four Southland schools earned a postseason bid. McNeese State won its second consecutive conference tournament to earn a trip to the NCAA tournament while Central Arkansas made its second postseason berth in as many years of eligibility with an invite to the WNIT. Stephen F. Austin returned to the postseason with an appearance in the WBI along with Sam Houston State, which earned its first ever postseason bid in women’s basketball since joining Division I. The 2012-13 season welcomes new member Oral Roberts to the conference. In the history of Golden Eagles basketball, ORU has appeared in the NCAA tournament five times and the WNIT four with the most recent postseason appearance in 2012. With the addition of ORU, half of the Southland teams taking the court in 2012-13 will be coming off a postseason berth.

In the coaches’ poll, Lamar had 46 points while Nicholls had 33, and in the SID poll, the Lady Cardinals earned 43 points to the Colonels 34. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is slated for eighth in the coaches poll with 21 points and ninth in the SID poll with 18 points. Southeastern Louisiana earned 19 points from the coaches and was picked ninth and 20 points from the SIDs and was tabbed eighth. Northwestern State rounds out both polls with 15 points from the coaches and 14 points from SIDs. Seven All-Conference Selections Return for 2012-13 Season Seven players from last season’s All-Southland Conference teams return for the 2012-13 season, including four first-team selections and the reigning player of the year. Megan Herbert was the second player in conference history to be honored as the player and defender of the year last season. Sam Houston State guard Britni Martin, McNeese State guard Ashlyn Baggett and Lamar guard Kalis Loyd each earned first-team all-conference honors last year. Herbert, a native of Rogers, Ark., was second in the league in rebounding, third in scoring and field goal percentage and fourth in free throw percentage. Herbert averaged 17.2 points and 11.3 rebounds per game while shooting a consistent 51.6 percent from the field. Herbert led the Sugar Bears to their third consecutive 20-win season and first conference regular season title. Martin, a junior from Conroe, Texas, help the Bearkats post a 12-4 conference record, the most in Sam Houston history, and earn its second consecutive West Division Title last season. The Bearkats also earned berth to the Women’s Basketball Invitational, marking the first post season appearance since joining Division I. Martin led the league in most 3-pointers made per game (2.9) and second in the conference in scoring (17.4). Ashlyn Baggett played an important role in leading McNeese State back to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive year. Ashlyn, whose twin sister Caitlyn earned second-team honors, led the Cowgirls and ranked seventh in the conference in scoring (15.4), while leading the Cowgirls in 3-point field goal percentage (35.6) and 3-pointers per game (2.1). Lamar senior Loyd, a native of Malmoe, Sweden, earned first-team for the second consecutive season. Loyd led the Lady Cardinals in almost every category including points per game (16.1), rebounds per game (6.1), assists (84), steals (64) and minutes played (977). Rounding out the preseason first team is Sam Houston State senior forward Sequeena Thomas, who earned second team allconference honors last season. Thomas, a native of Allentown, Pa., led the conference and ranked second nationally in rebounding with 12.6 rebounds per game. Second team honorees include McNeese State senior guard Caitlyn Baggett, Nicholls State junior guard KK Babin, Stephen F. Austin sophomore center Porsha Roberts, Nicholls State senior forward Alisha Allen and Oral Roberts senior guard Kevi Luper. Southland Tournament Returns to Katy, Texas The 2013 Southland Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament returns to the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. This will be the sixth consecutive year for the tournament to be held in Katy. This year’s tournament will begin on Wednesday, March 13 with first-round action beginning at 11 a.m. First and second round games will be streamed live for free on the Southland Conference Digital Network. The semifinals, which will be shown on ESPN3, will take place on Friday, March 15 and the championship will be played Saturday, March 16 with a 1:30 p.m. tipoff and be aired on ESPN3. The 2012-13 tournament will be the 14th in league history to be played at a neutral site. The tournament was played in Shreveport, La., from 1995-2001 and was held in Houston before moving to Katy in 2008. Southland Women’s Basketball Sends Four to the Postseason For the first time in conference history, four Southland Conference women’s basketball programs received postseason invitations. McNeese State made its second consecutive appearance in the NCAA tournament, Central Arkansas was invited to its first postseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State were selected to play in the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). McNeese State received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament after defeating Stephen F. Austin in the 2012 Southland Conference Basketball Tournament. The Cowgirls earned a No. 15 seed and faced second-seeded Kentucky. Central Arkansas received the Southland’s automatic bid into the WNIT after McNeese State advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Sugar Bears faced Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin both hosted opening rounds of the WBI with Sam Houston advancing to the second round. McNeese State Claims Second Consecutive Southland Conference Tournament Championship Redemption found its way toward Caitlyn Baggett, which led to McNeese State finding itself back in the NCAA tournament. Baggett, who missed a pair of free throws with 17 seconds left in the championship, knocked down a pair with five seconds remaining to give the Cowgirls a 62-58 win over Stephen F. Austin for the school’s second consecutive Southland Conference tournament championship and an automatic bid to the Big Dance for the second time in as many years. The final flurry of free throws from Baggett concluded a wild final 1:21, which came to pass when Tammara Marion knocked down a 3-pointer from the left corner that tied the game at 56, capping off an intense second half in which neither McNeese nor SFA led by more than four points.

In the first round for the Bearkats, Britni Martin scored 22 points and Sequeena Thomas pulled down 14 rebounds to lead Sam Houston State to a 73-55 victory over Rice.

Lamar opens its season against the Bears on Nov. 9 with Oral Roberts facing Baylor on Dec. 12 and Southeastern Louisiana following on Dec. 29. This is the second consecutive year the Lady Cardinals begin the season against the defending national champions, having opened with Texas A&M to begin the 2011-12 campaign. Oral Roberts faces the most teams with postseason experience with six. The Golden Eagles will also face NCAA participants Nebraska, DePaul, Arkansas and Arkansas-Little Rock and WNIT participant Missouri State. Stephen F. Austin faces four postseason teams while Lamar, McNeese State, Nicholls State and Northwestern State each play three teams. Sam Houston State has two teams scheduled and Central Arkansas, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi only have one. Southland Conference Will Grow to 14 Teams for 2013-14 Oral Roberts University is the new kid on the block in the Southland Conference this season, but it will become an instant veteran of the league in 2013-14 when the conference welcomes four more schools into the fold, increasing the membership to 14 institutions. The league announced last November that Houston Baptist University would join the Southland, but this past August Southland commissioner Tom Burnett announced the addition of three more schools. The University of New Orleans, Abilene Christian University and the University of the Incarnate Word will be welcomed into the conference July 1, 2013, giving the Southland members in key population centers Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans, all home to significant student-recruitment and alumni bases. Additionally, original Southland Conference member Abilene Christian, one of the most decorated athletic programs in the NCAA, will return to the league after a 40-year absence. ACU and UIW will be transitioning from NCAA Division II and will not be eligible to win the conference championship during their transition periods, which should be complete in time for the 2017-18 season. Are You Southland Strong? The Southland Conference has launched a new marketing campaign known as “Southland Strong.” The motto encompasses a positive mindset and confident outlook for everything that happens in the Southland. It is about competitiveness and success in the conference, in the NCAA, in professional sports and many other great achievements by member institutions and student-athletes. But it is more than just excelling in competition; it is also about being successful in the classroom and in the workforce. Southland Strong is also about great works by the league’s athletic departments reaching out and giving back to the local communities and student-athletes providing leadership through their endless efforts with local charity and youth groups. The conference encourages its member institutions and student-athletes to help promote the campaign by joining the social media conversation by using the #SouthlandStrong hashtag to tell why someone or something is Southland Strong.

Stephen F. Austin Hosts First Round of WBI The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks were unable to slow down a dynamic Northern Iowa Panthers’ offense in an 83-67 loss in the first round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational at William R. Johnson Coliseum. SFA had four players score in double-figures, including a team-high 16 points from Annette Davis but the Ladyjacks could not slow down a Panthers’ team that shot 51 percent from the floor, including 41 percent from 3-point territory. SFA led 32-31 at halftime but UNI erupted offensively in the second half, outscoring the Ladyjacks 52-35 and made 12-of23 shots from the floor. Over the final 13 minutes, SFA got outscored 40-24 and over the final nine minutes never got the score within single digits. The Ladyjacks finished the 2011-12 season with one of their best campaigns this century, making their first appearance in the postseason in the Brandon Schneider era and winning at least 23 games for the first time since 2005.

Central Arkansas Makes First Appearance in WNIT For a half, Central Arkansas traded blows with Oklahoma State and looked poised to score the upset victory at Gallagher-Iba Arena, but the Cowgirls proved too much in the second half as they pulled away from the Sugar Bears for a 72-51 victory in the opening round of the WNIT. UCA shot 41 percent in the first half, including 43 percent from 3-point range, as they hung with the Cowgirls.

CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT

McNeese State Plays SEC Regular Season Champion Kentucky in First NCAA Tournament Appearance McNeese State’s women’s basketball team came into NCAA Tournament as the 15th seed and gave second seed Kentucky all it could hand despite falling 68-62 in the first round. Even though it was a lost for the Cowgirls, in other ways it was a victory. Senior Martika Hull closed out her playing career by tying her career high with 20 points and ended the game with a doubledouble with 13 rebounds. The double-double is her 18th career and 16th this season. Junior Caitlyn Baggett ended the game with a game high 22 points, four shy of tying her career high. Baggett was hassled all game by Kentucky’s defense but managed to dish out four assists also. The Cowgirls committed 13 turnovers in the game, the lowest number by a Kentucky opponent this season. McNeese ends its season with a 26-8 record and tied the school record with 26 wins set by the 2010-11 team.

SEASON OUTLOOK to average 15.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.4 steals per game. Rogers suffered a torn ACL in the Sugar Bears’ surprise defeat at the hands of Nicholls in the first round of the Southland tournament and has spent the offseason undergoing strenuous rehab in efforts to be ready for the season opener on Nov. 9. Another key element returning is 6-1 junior center Courtney Duever, who averaged 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1 assist in just 17.7 minutes per game off the bench a year ago. Not back, however, is the Sugar Bears’ longstanding starting backcourt tandem of Destinee Rogers and Nakeia Guiden, who played a combined 62 minutes per game in 2011-12 in their final season before graduating from the university. The Sugar Bears will look to 6-foot sophomore Sharlay Burris to play an increased role after playing sparingly (8.3 mpg) as a freshman, and will have a pair of incoming freshmen and three transfers at their disposal to help shore up the backcourt. Jameka Watkins, a 5-foot-5 guard who won backto-back state titles at England, Ark., and Kelsey Smith, a 5-5 guard from Little Rock Christian, were members of last year’s signing class. They are joined by redshirt freshman Kelly Hays, who was a mid-term transfer last season after beginning the year at Harding University. She will be eligible for play following the fall semester. The other transfers are senior Tracey Parsons, a graduate student who averaged 8.6 points, 2.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game for Division II Arkansas-Fort Smith last season, helping lead the Lions to a 19-9 record; and sophomore Kelcia Bufkin from East Central Community College. Bufkin averaged 12 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists per game as a freshman last season at ECCC. In the frontcourt, the Sugar Bears return senior forward Britney Gowans and senior center Chantel Moss, who have a combined 123 games’ experience, along with redshirt freshman Julia Mason. Sophomore forward Tyisha Amos joins the program after transferring in from Western Kentucky during the offseason.

2012-13 SOUTHLA ND C ON F E REN C E BA S K E TB A L L

Central Arkansas went 16-0 at home, won 24 games in all, and ran through the league with a 14-2 record en route to its first Southland Conference championship in 2011-12. That season is gone, taking with it many of the key components of the championship run. The Sugar Bears will look to repeat in 2012-13, but will be doing so with a different vision. Following the success of a three-year run that included an average of 22 wins per season and national postseason tournament appearances in their first two years eligible as a Division I program, the Sugar Bears underwent a change in leadership in the offseason as former head coach Matt Daniel and his staff moved on to Marshall University. In steps Sandra Rushing, a wildly successful veteran coach with more than 20 years of head coaching experience. Rushing comes to Central Arkansas from Delta State, a storied Division II program, where she won nearly 82 percent of her games over a 10-year span and guided the Lady Statesmen to six consecutive Sweet 16s and a pair of Final Four appearances. Rushing – who was a four-time SEC All-Academic selection at Alabama in the 1980s – has 11 years’ experience as a head coach at the Division I level, having led the program at the University of Texas-El Paso from 1990-2001 where she left with a then-program record of 123 wins. After a decade in Cleveland, Miss., where she averaged 25.4 wins per season and topped the 30-win mark three times, she arrives in Conway with a veteran roster that features the two-time Southland Player of the Year in senior forward Megan Herbert – one of the most decorated players in Southland history. Herbert averaged 17.2 points and 11.3 rebounds per game last season en route to her second straight Player of the Year award and third consecutive 1st team all-conference selection. Also back for their senior seasons are returning starters Micah Rice and Desiree’ Rogers, who combined

Record at UCA: 0-0 (first season) Career Record: 403-255 (23 seasons) Since becoming a collegiate head coach at the age of 24, Rushing has spent much of the last two decades building winning programs – most recently carrying on the tradition of Division II powerhouse Delta State to the tune of a 254-58 (.814) record. At Delta from 2002-12, Rushing was the league’s Coach of the Year a record-setting six times and was named Coach of the Decade in 2010 while taking the Lady Statesmen to eight NCAA Tournaments and six Gulf South Conference titles. Her teams reached the Final Four in consecutive years in 2008 & ‘09 and made six consecutive Sweet 16 appearances between 2006-11. In 2011 she was named the WBCA Region 5 Coach of the Year. Over her last seven seasons in Cleveland, Miss., Rushing’s teams averaged more than 28 wins per season and had three teams reach the 30-win mark – including a 33-1 season in ‘07-’08 with the lone loss coming in the national semifinal. During that stretch, the Lady Statesmen were an incredible 198-30 (.868) and put together a 64-game winning streak on their home floor from ‘07-’11. In addition to her tremendous Division II success, Rushing brings many years of Division I experience to UCA as well, having spent 11 seasons as the head coach at University of Texas-El Paso from 1990-2001. During her time in El Paso, Rushing accumulated what was then a program-record 123 wins, broke the school record for wins in a season, and was inducted into the El Paso Commission for Women Hall of Fame in 1999. She began her head coaching career with one season at Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss. in 1989-90 after two years as a graduate assistant at Delta State the two years prior. Rushing played collegiately at Alabama, where she was a four-time Academic All-SEC selection and holds the Crimson Tide’s career free throw percentage record. She earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Physical Education from Alabama in 1986.

LAMAR LADY CARDINALS Lamar Southland Conference History

SEASON OUTLOOK five steals while leading Ozen to a 34-1 record and a berth in the Class 4A Region III finals. Booker’s mother, Ramona Locke, holds Lamar career records for assists (653) and steals (333), while scoring 986 points in 110 career games for the Lady Cardinals. As a junior, Booker led Ozen to the Class 4A state semifinals. Forward/center Alice Robinson comes to Lamar from Trinity Valley Community College, where she helped lead her team to the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship. Robinson averaged 5.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per game for Trinity Valley, which went 36-0 last season. Forward Dominique Edwards joins the Lady Cardinals after earning all-conference honors as a freshman at Lon Morris College last season. Edwards averaged 20 points and seven rebounds per game for the Bearcats last season. Lamar also looks to be bolstered by guard JaMeisha Edwards, who was a redshirt freshman last season due to injury. The Lady Cardinals will be tested right from the start, as they open their season at defending national champion Baylor. It will be the second straight season that Lamar will be the first opponent for the team wearing the crown. In 2011, Lamar was the first opponent for then national champion Texas A&M. The Baylor game won’t be the only tough nonconference road test for the Lady Cardinals this season. Lamar also has away games slated at Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Rice and Louisiana-Monroe. The Lady Cards will face future Southland Conference opponent Houston Baptist in a home-and-home series this season. Defense has been a trademark of the Lady Cardinals during Tidwell’s tenure, and the veteran coach expects more of that this season. Last year, Lamar held opponents to 62.8 points per game and led the conference in steals at 9.9 per game. Lamar has five non-conference home games this season as it looks to extend its homecourt winning streak. The Lady Cardinals open their home season Nov. 12 against UT Tyler.

2012-13 SOUTHLA ND C ON F E REN C E BA S K E TB A L L

The Lamar University Lady Cardinals hope the 201213 season sounds like a broken record. Senior Kalis Loyd is on pace to set the program record for career points, while coach Larry Tidwell is on the verge of breaking the program mark for career coaching victories. The Lady Cardinals, who were 16-15 overall, also take aim at extending the team record for consecutive winning seasons to six and their unbeaten streak in non-conference home games, which stands at 33 entering the season. Loyd, who is the only player currently on Lamar’s top-10 all-time list for points, rebounds, assists and steals, needs 300 points to set the school’s all-time scoring mark. Loyd’s 1,431 career points put her behind Carol Sims, who had 1,571 points, and record-holder Uirannah Jackson’s 1,730 points. A two-time first-team All-Conference selection, Loyd led the Lady Cardinals in scoring (16.1 ppg), rebounding (6.4 rpg), assists (84) and steals (64). Loyd has played 96 games in her Lamar career, 30 shy of the school mark held by Trashanna Smith. The Lady Cardinals have 29 regular-season games this season, meaning Lamar would have to play at least two postseason games for Loyd to have a shot at the record. Loyd was the only Lady Cardinal to average double figures in scoring last season. Lamar will be looking for more scoring from guards Taylor Hays (6.0 ppg) and Carenn Baylor (5.4 ppg), as the Lady Cardinals look to fill the void left by the graduation of Monique Whittaker (9.7 ppg). Other returning players that Tidwell will count on this season include forward Jasmin Henderson (3.9 ppg) and guards Gia Ayers (3.8 ppg) and Shauna Long (3.1 ppg). Lamar has plenty of newcomers who will be fighting for starting positions and their share of playing time this season. Leading the list of rookies is guard Asia Booker, a homegrown Beaumont, Texas, product from Ozen High School. Booker averaged 17 points, five assists and

Record at LU: 106-55 (five years) Career Record: 106-55 (five years) Tidwell’s coaching abilities have been evident during his first five seasons at Lamar, as he turned around a struggling program to make the Lady Cardinals a perennial power in the Southland Conference and among the most successful teams in terms of the number of victories in Texas. Tidwell has compiled a 106-55 record at Lamar, winning one Southland Conference title and two division titles while leading the Lady Cardinals to appearances in the NCAA Tournament and the WNIT. He led the Lady Cardinals to a 26-8 overall record and a 13-3 mark in Southland Conference games in the 2009-10 season, and a 25-8 overall mark and a 13-3 SLC record in 2010-11. The 2009-10 regular season co-champions of the Southland Conference, Lamar won the conference tournament to advance to its first NCAA Tournament game since 1991. The 26 wins were the second most in school history, and for his efforts Tidwell was honored as the Texas Basketball Coaches Association Division I Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. Tidwell followed that season up with another impressive showing in 2010-11, as the Lady Cardinals won the consolation round of the Preseason WNIT and advanced to the postseason for the second straight campaign by earning a berth into the WNIT. Tidwell came to Lamar in 2007 after serving eight seasons as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at TCU, helping the Lady Frogs earn 173 victories, seven consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and becoming a perennial Top-25 program. In 2002, he earned AFLAC National Assistant Coach of the Year recognition.

Record at MCN: 83-74 (five years) Career Record: 83-74 (five years) Brooks Donald Williams has led the McNeese State women’s basketball team to back-to-back Southland Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances as well as consecutive 20 win seasons in the past two years. Williams has guided McNeese to a 52-15 record in the past two years and led McNeese to its most successful season in school history in 2011 by wining the Southland Conference regular season title, only the second in program history. Williams didn’t stop there as she guided the Cowgirls to their first Southland Conference Tournament title and first NCAA Tournament appearance that same year. For her accomplishments on the court, Williams was named the league’s and Louisiana’s “Coach of the Year”. In 2012, Williams once again led the Cowgirls to the Southland Tournament title and its second consecutive NCAA Tournament. The Cowgirls came close to picking up their first NCAA Tournament win against Kentucky, falling 68-62 to the SEC regular season champions. The Cowgirls posted a 26-8 overall record and a 12-3 conference record and a 12-2 home record. The Cowgirls also hosted a preseason WNIT consolation tournament to begin the season in which the Cowgirls defeated Manhattan and UAB. Williams led the Cowgirls to a 26-7 overall record, 15-1 Southland Conference record and an undefeated home record (15-0) during the 2010-11 season. The 20 win season is the first for the Cowgirls in 24 years. The overall record matched the best turnaround in NCAA history following a 7-22 overall record in 2009-10. The 26 overall and the 15 conference wins are also school records. A native of Jennings, La., Williams spent three years at the University of Southern Mississippi before taking over at McNeese. Prior to her stint with the Lady Eagles, she spent one season at the University of Memphis and three years at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

NICHOLLS STATE COLONELS Nicholls State Southland Conference History

SEASON OUTLOOK in the first round in the Southland Tournament. Nash averaged 6.4 points as a freshman and was second on the team with 37 made 3-pointers. Also back for the Colonels are three sophomore post players who lettered last season – Syleida Ellis , JonMarie Guillory and Erin Luton. As true freshman, Ellis and Guillory played in a combined 55 games, while Luton made 12 appearances. Joining the letterwinners are two transfers from Baton Rouge – 6-1 junior forward Jasmine Scott and 5-8 sophomore guard Kishaun Williams. Scott, who played with Babin at St. Michael’s, comes to Nicholls after playing at Trinity Valley Community College. Williams joined the Colonels last season after appearing in 10 games at the University of Missouri as a freshman, but was ineligible to play due to transfer rules. Williams was a standout at Capital High, averaging 18 points and leading the Lions to two state titles. Plasiance’s recruiting class consists of two post players - LaDesha Carrier (Varnado, La.) and Bria Reed (Zachary, La.); and two point guards – Hope Pawlowski (Orlando, Fla.) and Emani White (New Orleans, La.). Carrier averaged 18 points and 13 rebounds as a senior, leading Varnado to four consecutive appearances in the state tournament. Reed was a four-year letterwinner at Zachary, earning first-team all-district as a senior after averaging 16 points and eight rebounds. Pawlowski joins the team as the only out-of-state recruit of the 2012-13 class. A highly touted guard from Florida, she earned all-state honors as a junior after netting 24 points per game. Last but not least, White was a two-time 5A First-Team All-State honoree at Archbishop Chapelle. As a senior, she tallied a 21 point average, 4.2 rebounds and 2.9 steals.

2012-13 SOUTHLA ND C ON F E REN C E BA S K E TB A L L

Since her arrival on campus four years ago, Nicholls State University women’s head basketball coach DoBee Plaisance’s motto has been “Destination Katy”. Not only did the Colonels reach that goal last season, but they came within one game of playing for the program’s first Southland Conference championship. The Colonels’ 2011-12 season was filled with milestones. Nicholls’ 15 victories was the most in program history, its 20-point upset against No.1-seed Central Arkansas was its first win in the Southland Tournament and the squad tied the program’s longest winning streak at five games. But that was last season. This year, it will be highly unlikely that the Colonels will catch anyone by surprise. With the graduation of allpurpose guard Sumar Leslie, Coach Plaisance will need to replace her leading scorer for the second straight year; however, she brings backs four starters, including senior forward Alisha Allen (13.8 ppg) and junior guard and second-team All-Southland honoree KK Babin (12.8 ppg). Allen was the lone high schooler in Plaisance’s first recruiting class and has been a consistent force for the Colonels throughout her career. She has started 80 of 88 games played, averaging nearly 13 points per contest. The Colonel all-time blocks leader (75) has also been a solid defender, hauling in 6.4 rebounds per game last season and was eighth in the Southland with 29 blocks. Last season, the Colonels were deadly from behind the arc, making over six 3-pointers per game while ranking 21st in the NCAA in percentage (.351). A large part of that success is due to Babin, who set the program record last year with 81 made 3-pointers. Along with finishing in the Top 15 in the league in scoring, she averaged over three assists for the second time in as many years. Rounding out the returning starters are a pair of lengthy wing players – junior LiAnn McCarthy and sophomore Jenny Nash. McCarthy scored in double figures in nine games last season, averaging 9.3 points per contest. Her most notable performance was a career-high 32 points

Record at NICH: 29-86 (four years) Career Record: 186-309 (17 years) DoBee Plaisance enters her fifth season as head coach for the Nicholls State University women’s basketball program, and is the ninth head coach in the school’s history. She came to Nicholls after 13 seasons at Loyola University New Orleans. In 2011-12, Plaisance led the Colonel women’s basketball program to its best season in its 38 years of existence. Nicholls claimed an all-time best 15 wins, capped by its first postseason victory in team history. After clinching its fourth berth into the Southland Conference postseason, Nicholls pulled off a 20-point upset over top-seed Central Arkansas in the first round as the Colonels made a tournament and program-record 14 3-pointers. At Loyola, after the arrival of scholarships in 2004, Plaisance posted an impressive 81-33 record that included back-to-back Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC) Regular Season Championships in 2006-07 and 2007-08. Her 2006-07 squad finished 25-9, while her 2007-08 team notched a school best 28-7 mark, resulting in Plaisance winning consecutive GCAC Coach of the Year honors. In the 2007-08 season, she led the Wolfpack to the Elite Eight of the NAIA Women’s Basketball National Championship Tournament. The appearance in the Elite 8 was the furthest that Loyola has ever advanced in the NAIA National Tournament in the program’s history. Loyola also eclipsed program records for wins and highest ranking as the Wolfpack won 28 games and were ranked 15th in the final NAIA poll. Plaisance, a New Orleans native, was a four-year starter throughout her college career, playing two years at the University of New Orleans and two years at Southeastern Louisiana University. She later graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi and worked as a student assistant coach for the Lady Eagles.

“Tiandra has worked very hard to acclimate herself and her game to our style of play and the culture we are establishing,” said Stoehr. “She has been a vocal leader for us throughout workouts and continues to develop her confidence and grow in this area. I do not think she is fully aware of what she is capable of on the court.” Williams played in all 29 games a year ago scoring 108 points and 33 assists. Her premiere game came against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi when she scored 20 points with 10 rebounds and two assists. “She has been extremely receptive to our teaching and expectation level,” said Stoehr. “Tiandra will be a vital part of our backcourt and will be a big reason for our team’s success this season. Natchitoches native Meredith Graf will return for her senior year and her leadership has caught the eye of the new staff. “Meredith has provided leadership and been a very solid performer for this team in the past,” said Stoehr. “She has proven to be one of the team’s best shooters and brings many intangibles on both ends of the floor.” Graf finished last season with 205 points and 51 assists. She had off-season shoulder surgery and is expected to return by conference season. Jasmine Upchurch, 6-foot-3 post player, will return under the goal for the Lady Demons after having a good season last year scoring 334 points and 229 rebounds. She has the ability to be a great player and could really help solidify the post position. Sophomore guard Jasmine Bradley, who had a tremendous freshman season in 2010-11, will return to the court this season after having to sit out a year with an injury. She led the team in rebounding and steals two years ago. Arianne Ausmer also returns for her sophomore season. She played in 29 games last season and scored 67 points and 38 assists in 379 minutes played. “We will face a very difficult non-conference slate, and we believe it will prepare us greatly for the Southland Conference schedule,” said Stoehr. “I expect for our to team to play a tough disciplined style of basketball and compete every possession. When we are able to do this on a consistent basis we will start to see results on the scoreboard.”

TEAM PREVIEWS

SEASON OUTLOOK Change typically is not easy, but new co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr are looking for competitiveness and toughness through the change for the 2012-13 women’s basketball season. “My staff and I are excited about the upcoming season and look forward to establishing a culture of competitiveness and toughness,” said Brooke Stoehr. “The season will be a process and we’ll work extremely hard each day to continue to develop these young ladies on and off the court.” Seven letterwinners return this season including seniors Trudy Armstead, Jasmine Upchurch, and Meredith Graf. Three redshirt freshman return to the team and four newcomers add to the young Lady Demon squad. “This group of young ladies has worked very hard for our staff during the preseason conditioning and individual skills session,” said Stoehr. Change, as we all know, is not always the most pleasant or easy experience, but we have had a tremendous response from this group. “Each day we challenge them to be better than the day before and give maximum effort and energy,” said Stoehr. Armstead started all 29 games for the Lady Demons in the 2011-12 season and scored 411 points, grabbed 246 boards, and averaged 14.2 points per game. She finished the season ranked fifth for rebounds in the Southland Conference. The Dallas native had nine double-doubles and showed her true potential late in the season against Texas-Arlington when she scored a career-high 30 points and finished with 11 boards. Her season-high in rebounds came against LSUShreveport when she brought down 19. “Trudy has bought in to what we are teaching and how she can be a winner both on and off the court, and because of that she has been one of our most consistent workers during the preseason,” said Stoehr. “She has made tremendous strides in the classroom and is on track to graduate. I would love nothing more than seeing her walk across the stage with her diploma in hand after having a tremendous senior season on the court.” Tiandra Williams, the only junior on the squad, has also stood out to the new staff bringing a “tremendous amount of energy and effort to each and every workout”.

ORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLES Oral Roberts Southland Conference History Season Overall SLC Tourn. First Season

Oral Roberts Coaching History

SEASON OUTLOOK efficient scorer and tough-nosed rebounder, Buck has the versatility to guard four positions, and she has hit doublefigures in scoring 19 times during her collegiate career. Sophomore Bernadett Balla is ready to capitalize on the immense potential she displayed during the final half of her freshman campaign. A 2011-12 Summit League All-Newcomer selection, Balla averaged 6.5 points and 3.8 rebounds during her rookie season, but those numbers skyrocketed in February, when the Pecs, Hungary native averaged 11.9 points per game over a seven-game stretch. Junior Christian Key is back to stretch the floor and provide a long-range presence for the Golden Eagles on the offensive end. Key is a career 36% three-point shooter, and she enters the season as the eight-most accurate three-point shooter in ORU basketball history. Sophomore Elisabeth Daniels proved to be a capable ball-handler in her first season at ORU, and she enters 2012-13 looking to add depth to the point guard position. Daniels recorded a 1.3 assist-to-turnover ratio in 20 freshman appearances, and he role on the team is likely to increase in her second season on the roster. Redshirt freshman Emma Gade had worked her way into the starting lineup as a rookie before a December injury knocked her out of the season’s final 20 games. Gade received a medical redshirt for the season and brings a polished all-around game to the Golden Eagle club. She shot an efficient 46% from the field in her rookie campaign. Redshirt junior Sarah Shelton is eligible for her first active season in blue and gold after sitting out the 201112 season due to NCAA transfer requirements. The Ft. Worth native made 34 appearances at SMU and will bring a strong shot-blocking presence to the defensive end of the floor. ORU will be tested early and often in the pre-conference portion of their schedule. The Golden Eagles open with crosstown rival Tulsa on Nov. 9 and host SEC heavyweight Arkansas on Nov. 19. The road slate is highlighted by a trip to defending national champion Baylor on Dec. 12, but the Bears are far from the only tough test that awaits ORU away from Tulsa. The Golden Eagles will also travel to 2012 NCAA Tournament clubs UALR, Nebraska and DePaul before the Southland season begins on Jan. 3.

2012-13 SOUTHLA ND C ON F E REN C E BA S K E TB A L L

A mix of fresh faces and returning stars lead Oral Roberts into their first run through the Southland Conference in 2012-13. Changes abound for a Golden Eagle program that advanced to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament in 2011-12, yet the core of last season’s 20-win team remains, and the goal of reaching the NCAA Tournament is as vibrant as ever. ORU welcomes a new head coach for 2012-13, as longtime assistant Misti Cussen has ascended to the top of the Golden Eagle coaching ladder. Cussen spent the past 16 seasons as ORU’s top assistant, playing an integral part of the most successful era in Golden Eagle basketball history. ORU won 273 games and advanced to five NCAA Tournaments during Cussen’s time as an assistant, establishing themselves as one of the top mid-major programs in the nation. Only two starters return from last season’s 20-win club, but they happen to be two of the most accomplished players in ORU basketball history. Kevi Luper is back for one final run at an NCAA Tournament berth after once again winning conference player of the year honors as a junior. The Adair, Okla., native averaged 23.8 points and 3.8 steals per game last year, ranking in the top-five nationally in both categories. Luper set the career scoring records at both ORU and the Summit League last season , and she heads to the Southland Conference with designs on making a similar impact. Luper was named to the 35-player Naismith Trophy Watch List last season, and she earned Mid-Major All-American laurels from College Sports Madness. Luper is also a two-time Associated Press All-American, and she represented Team USA at the 2011 Pan-American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Joining Luper in the backcourt is senior Jaci Bigham, a native of McAlester, Okla. Bigham earned 1st Team AllSummit League honors in each of her first two seasons before an injury slowed her down as a junior. But the sharpshooter remains as dangerous as ever, and she is primed to return to the form she displayed in 2009-10, when she knocked down a Summit League-record 99 three-pointers and combined with Luper to form the nation’s highest-scoring duo. ORU’s third senior is forward Savanna Buck, the 2010-11 Summit League Sixth Woman of the Year. An

Record at ORU: 0-0 (first season) Career Record: 0-0 (first season) On April 27, 2012, Long-time assistant coach Misti Cussen was named the 10th head women’s basketball coach in Oral Roberts University history. Cussen has been on the ORU bench for the last 16 seasons as the top assistant coach, ranking as one of the nation’s longest-tenured assistant coaches at one school. She also served as the director of operations and the summer camp director. During Cussen’s tenure as an assistant coach, ORU experienced an unprecedented run of success on the court. The Golden Eagles won five Summit League Tournament titles and a pair of Summit League regular season titles during Cussen’s time as an assistant, and they made the program’s first five trips to the NCAA Tournament. Cussen also led ORU to three WNIT appearances as an assistant, including a pair of WNIT wins in 2011 over TCU and Tulane that were the program’s first postseason tournament victories in 28 years. ORU achieved 273 victories during Cussen’s time as an assistant coach, including five 20-win seasons. In 2011-12, the Golden Eagles posted their third consecutive 20-win season, a first for the program in nearly 30 years. As a player, Cussen began her collegiate career at Kansas University (1989-91) before transferring to Southern Nazarene to finish her final two years. Cussen joined the Southern Nazarene coaching staff in the spring of 1996. Cussen received her Bachelor of Arts degree in speech communication from Southern Nazarene in 1993 before earning a master of arts in communication education in 1994.

Led by three seniors who have taken the Sam Houston women’s basketball programs to new heights, the Bearkats are poised to be a contender for the 2013 Southland Conference championship. Four starters and six other letterwinners return from last year’s team that rolled up an 18-12 overall record and played in a national post-season tournament for the first time in school history. The 2012 Bearkats added a second consecutive West Division championship for the program. With their 12-4 league record in 2012, the women’ achieved their highest seed (third) at the Southland post-season tournament. The .750 winning percentage in Southland action is the program’s highest in 25 years in the league. The 18-12 overall record equaled the school mark for most victories in one year (tying the 1996 squad). The 35 victories during the past two seasons mark the most in a two-year period for Sam Houston’s 30-year history as an NCAA program. Senior forward Britni Martin and Sequeena Thomas both are back as two-time All-Southland Conference performers. Martin was a first team selection in both 2011 and 2012 while Thomas was a second team pick both years. Martin was the league’s third-leading scorer last year and stood 52nd nationally with a 17.2 scoring average. She led the Southland Conference in three point baskets per game (2.9). Thomas led Southland Conference rebounding and ranked No. 2 nationally with 12.5 rebounds per game. She also stood ninth in the league in scoring with 14.4 points per game. Martin enters her senior year ranked as SHSU’s No. 3 all-time leading scorer with 1,310 career points (14.7 per game). She also stands No. 2 in Bearkat career three point field goals (232) and No. 7 in career assists (316). She led team with 523 points, third highest single season scoring total in SHSU women’s history.

Record at SHSU: 60-115 (six years) Career Record: 192-263 (16 years) Named as Sam Houston tenth women’s basketball head coach on August 23, 2006, Brenda Welch-Nichols has taken the program to new heights in her six seasons with the program. Before her hiring, the Bearkats had not finished higher than eighth place in the Southland Conference in six seasons, earning a league tournament post-season berth only once in that time span. But her consistent rebuilding efforts have paid off as Sam Houston made consecutive league tournament appearances in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and, last March, played in its first national post-season event – the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). In 2011 the Kats rolled up a 17-14 overall record, the Bearkats’ first above .500 year since the 1995-96 squad went 18-10. The Division title was the Bearkats’ first at the NCAA Division I level. The 2012 Bearkats added a second consecutive West Division championship. With their 12-4 league record in 2012, the women’ achieved their highest seed (third) at the Southland post-season tournament. The .750 winning percentage in Southland action is the program’s highest in 25 years in the league. The 18-12 overall record equaled the school mark for most victories in one year (tying the 1996 squad). The 35 victories during the past two seasons mark the most in a two-year period for Sam Houston’s 30-year history as an NCAA program. Nichols is a Sam Houston State University alum, ranking as the leading scorer for the 18-9 Bearkat squad in 1988. Her 17.8 career scoring average stands as the second highest mark in Bearkat women’s basketball history. She earned All-Southland Conference honors in both 1987 and 1988.

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA LADY LIONS Southeastern Louisiana Southland Conference History

SEASON OUTLOOK gone after earning third team All-Southland Conference recognition as a senior. Styles, who steadily improved throughout her freshman year, is slated to step in to fill Jenkins’ role. The Savannah, Ga. native was the team’s top scorer off the bench in 2011-12, averaging 6.4 points per game and finishing second on the team with 43 steals. Providing depth at the point will be junior guard Taylor Mims. The Baton Rouge native sat out 2011-12 after transferring from College of Charleston and will give Southeastern a pair of reliable options at the point guard position. Despite limited Division I experience, the wing position is the deepest group on the Southeastern roster. Miller returns and is expected to step in to an increased role after averaging 5.2 points per contest off the bench. Heading into preseason practice, Miller and junior college transfer Jameika Hoskins appear to have the inside track for the starting spots on the wing. Hoskins, a native of Aberdeen, Miss., was a NJCAA All-American choice at Itawamba (Miss.) Community College a season ago. Four other Lady Lions should see action in the backcourt in the coming season. Senior Cierra Morris returns for her second season with the program, while freshmen Erica Hernandez, Cortney Epting and Bianca Harvey will be the newest additions to the program and should provide Southeastern with prolific three-point threats. The young Lady Lions will open the season on Nov. 9 at Ole Miss. The challenging non-conference schedule is highlighted by trips to defending national champion Baylor (Dec. 29) and SEC member Alabama (Nov. 25). Southeastern hosts Oral Roberts to open the Southland Conference schedule on Jan. 3. The Lady Lions will need to finish in the top eight to earn their fifth consecutive trip to the Southland Conference Tournament, which is scheduled for March 13-16 at the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas.

The Southeastern Louisiana women’s basketball team heads into the 2012-13 season boasting a roster that features a mix of veterans and talented newcomers. The Lady Lions will be replacing three starters from last season’s team that made its fourth consecutive appearance in the Southland Conference Tournament. Despite the loss of the staring backcourt, Southeastern is not short on returning firepower. The starting post tandem of of junior Aja Gibson and senior Brandi Simmons will return, as will key reserve sophomore guards Elizabeth Styles and Symone Miller. Gibson, an honorable mention All-Southland Conference selection in 2011-12, is the top returner for the Lady Lions. In her first season as a starter, the Somerville, Tenn. native led the team with 11.3 points per game. She also ranked among the Southland Conference leaders in rebounding (7.0 rpg, ninth), field goal percentage (44.4, 11th), free-throw percentage (72.4, 14th) and offensive rebounds (3.3, fifth). Simmons, who started all 30 games in her first season with the program after transferring from Copiah-Lincoln Community College, will provide a solid compliment for Gibson. The Jackson, Miss. product was third on the team with 8.9 points per game to go with her team-high 7.4 rebounds per game and 46.6 field goal percentage. She ranked among the league leaders in scoring (26th), rebounding (eighth), field goal percentage (sixth), offensive rebounds per game (2.5, 13th) and defensive rebounds per game (4.9, seventh). She also led the team with six double-doubles. Providing depth in the post corps will be freshmen Nanna Pool and Raven Reyes. The 6-1 Pool and 6-3 Reyes are expected to use their size to give the Lady Lion post corps an added dimension. One of the key positions Southeastern is looking to fill is point guard, as three-year starter Kelli Jenkins is

Record at SLU: 126-160 (10 years) Career Record: 304-257 (17 years) Lori Davis Jones is entering her 11th season at the helm of the Southeastern Louisiana University women’s basketball program. During her tenure, the Lady Lions have seen their program continue to improve and grow. Under the guidance of Jones and her staff, the Lady Lions have won two Southland Conference East Division championships (2006-07, 2008-09) and Southeastern has had 15 All-Southland Conference and 10 All-Louisiana selections.. Jones took over the reins of the Southeastern women’s basketball program prior to the 2002-03 season. In her first year at the helm, she compiled a 7-20 record in her first steps to bringing Southeastern’s program back to prominence. The 2006-07 season saw Jones lead the Lady Lions to new heights, as the team finished with a 17-13 record and won the Southland East Division title. It marked the first winning season for Southeastern since the 1994-95 season and its first conference title in school history. In 2008-09, Southeastern enjoyed its best season of Jones’ tenure, winning its second East Division title in three years and finishing with a 19-11 overall record – the program’s best mark since the 1994-95 season. The Lady Lions’ 11-5 mark in league play was also the program’s best since joining the Southland prior to the 1997-98 campaign. Jones reached a milestone in a 2009-10 season that saw the Lady Lions advance to the Southland Tournament for the fourth time in five years. In a 77-50 win over Central Arkansas, she became the third head coach in the program’s history to reach 100 career wins. She earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology from Southeastern in 1992 and a master’s degree in Education from Memphis in 1995.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LADYJACKS Stephen F. Austin Southland Conference History

SEASON OUTLOOK midway through the 2011 campaign in a huge 69-67 road victory at Sam Houston State and dished out a season-best eight assists. Matthew finished the season with a team-best 101 assists (3.1 per game) while also averaging 5.8 points per contest. Two other vital cogs to the Ladyjacks success will be versatile sophomore wings Daylyn Harris and Tierany Henderson. Harris, a native of Livingston, Texas (Livingston HS), played in 24 games last season before being hampered by a foot injury. Harris was one of the Ladyjacks’ premier perimeter defenders along with Henderson, who played in all 33 games. A native of Austin, Texas, Henderson averaged 4.2 ppg and was fourth on the Ladyjacks in rebounding (3.4 rpg). The Ladyjacks will also welcome a class of four signees this season, which includes forward Antoinette Carter (Murray State College), forward LaNesha Middleton (Stillwater HS), guard Paulletta Powell (Port Arthur Memorial HS) and Kali “KK” Jerrell (Howard College). Carter, a 6’0 forward from Tishomingo, OK, averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per contest for Murray State College while being tabbed the #34 nationally ranked player by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report, and the #6 power forward. Carter was tabbed first-team OCAC, first-team all-region and a NJCAA All-American Honorable Mention. Middleton, a 5’10 forward from Stillwater, OK, averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds per game in her senior season. Middleton earned first-team all-conference honors while being named OGBCA All-State and the News-Press AllArea Player of the Year. Powell, a 5’8 guard from Port Arthur Memorial, Texas, averaged 12 points, 3 rebounds and two steals her senior campaign. Powell was a Co-District MVP along with McDonald’s All-American and Texas A&M signee Courtney Williams. Jerrell, a 5’5 point guard from Big Spring, Texas, averaged 13 points, 4 assists and 2.3 steals per game while earning WJCAC All-Conference honors as well as first-team all-region.

The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks are coming off a 2010-11 season in which they recorded their highest win total (23) in seven years and advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament Championship for the first time since 2007. Brandon Schneider is entering his third season as head coach of the Ladyjacks and has compiled a 35-28 record in his two seasons. In 2011 Schneider helped guide SFA to one of the nation’s biggest turnarounds with a +11 win differential from 2010. The Ladyjacks will be without the services of three seniors lost to graduation, including last year’s leading scorer Tammara Marion (14.7 ppg). SFA also said farewell to guard Courtney Conwright and center Amina Sawyer. SFA will be welcoming back nearly their entire core from last year’s squad, returning 10 lettermen and three starters. The Ladyjacks pursuit of a 16th Southland Conference championship will be greatly depend on the growth of reigning Southland Conference Freshman of the Year Porsha Roberts. A native of Waco, Texas, Roberts became just the fourth Ladyjacks in school history to win the award and was the first since LaToya Mills in 2002-03. Roberts averaged 9.2 points per contest (second on team) and shot a staggering .491 from the field. She set an SFA freshman record with 59 blocks, which included tying the single-game school-record with eight blocks against Texas State. Another returnee who earned conference accolades is senior guard/forward Ashlee Mells, who was named the Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year. After sitting out a season due to her transfer from Indiana University, Mells bursted onto the scene by becoming the teams third-leading scorer (6.8 points per game) and took over the team’s starting two-guard position at the midpoint of the season. SFA also returns sophomore starting point guard Brittney Matthew, who started 16 of 33 games as a true freshman in 2011. Matthew, a native of Houston, Texas, made her first collegiate start as a Ladyjack

Record at SFA: 35-28 (two years) Career Record: 341-100 (14 years) In just his second season at Stephen F. Austin, head coach Brandon Schneider guided the Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks to the Southland Conference Tournament Championship and a 23-win season. It was the most wins by a Ladyjack team since the 2005-06 season when SFA also won 23 games and just the fifth 20-win season this decade. The increase in 11 wins from the 2010-11 season (12) to 2011-12 (23) was tied for the sixth-biggest turnaround in the nation. In his first full season as head coach of the Ladyjack basketball program, Schneider led SFA to a 12-18 overall record and a 9-7 mark in conference play. The Ladyjacks clinched a trip to the Southland Conference Championship Tournament and nearly pulled off an upset of No. 3 Central Arkansas in the first round before falling 64-58. Schneider was named head coach of the Ladyjacks on April 20, 2010. Recognized as one of the top names at the NCAA Division II level, Schneider came to Nacogdoches after a highly successful 12-year stint at Emporia State. The Canyon, Texas native is the second all-time winningest head coach at the NCAA Division II level. Schneider came to Nacogdoches from Emporia State where he guided the Lady Hornets to a 306-72 (.810) record, and the 2010 NCAA Division II National Championship. The school’s all-time leader in wins and winning percentage, Schneider ranks among the all-time top 10 in fastest coaches to 100 victories, and third fastest among women’s basketball coaches. Schneider spent the previous 12 seasons at Emporia State guiding the Lady Hornets to 11 NCAA tournament appearances. During that stretch Schneider’s teams recorded two 30-win seasons, and nine 20win campaigns. Along with the 2010 national championship, Schneider coached ESU to four NCAA Division II South Central Regional titles, two Final Four appearances, six regular-season conference crowns and three league tournament titles.

SEASON OUTLOOK Along with Taylor and Jammer the Islanders are anticipating the return of guard Ashley Darley who sat out last season with a medical redshirt. During the 2010-11 season, Darley started 26 out of 29 games and collected 125 rebounds, including 76 defensive rebounds. She led the team overall with 68 steals and averaged 8.9 points a game. The Islanders return guards, Alisa Roberts, Imani Dunn, Taryn Gregory, Trish Amboree, Marquesha AndersonSparks and Sarah Alva, along with forwards Brandi Huff and Damequia Montgomery. Chadwick will look to five newcomers, including 6-2 junior forward Morgan Schwartz who transferred from Midland CC. The Islanders will also look to freshmen guards Janae Blount and Janae Lyde, along with freshmen forwards Ashanti Plummer and Zenobia Winbush. The Islanders will be without the inside presence of graduated seniors Myeisha Myles and Zoe Vega-Vega. The 6-foot-2 Myles led the Islanders in scoring last season with 11.0 points per game, 6.9 rebounds per game and finished in the top 20 in scoring in the conference to earn honorable mention honors. Vega-Vega finished second on the team with 4.9 rebounds per game. Schwartz, Plummer and Winbush will look to fill the void inside left by Myles and Vega-Vega. Plummer leads the group with having averaged 18.1 points per game in her senior year while pulling down 13.6 rebounds to help her team advance to the Division A Final Four. “Ashanti has only been playing organized basketball since her sophomore year,” Chadwick said. “She is growing by leaps and bounds in her development and she possesses the highest upside of any player in the country.” The Islanders open the season with a home exhibition against Texas Lutheran on Nov. 4 followed by a home game against Belmont on Nov. 11. The Islanders’ first Southland Conference challenge will be on Saturday, Jan. 5, when the team opens play against Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas.

The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women’s basketball team will tipoff the 2012-13 season with a tough nonconference slate, including five opponents from BCS conferences. The Islanders will start the season against the likes of Belmont and Indiana before traveling to Boulder, Colo., for a two-day tournament at the University of Colorado. “Our schedule is loaded with games against some of the toughest teams in the country,” first-year head coach Royce Chadwick said. “We have BCS league teams scheduled throughout the non-conference. The challenge will be there for our team to rise to the occasion, both on the road and at home. Southland doubleheaders with the men will be exciting with great action beginning with our tip-off at 5 p.m.” The Islanders will be under the direction of Chadwick who is a 28-year veteran of the women’s college basketball coaching ranks. Chadwick took over the reins on April 11, 2012, and is the fourth women’s basketball coach in Islanders history. Chadwick had previously spent the last 11 years at Marshall University and comes to the Island University with 561 wins, including stops at Southland foes Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State. The Islanders return 10 letterwinners from a team that finished 9-20 overall and 5-11 in the Southland Conference last season. Leading the Islanders is returning point guard Verne’qua Taylor. Last season, Taylor led the conference with 4.9 assists per game and tallied a total of 141 on the season. She moved into first place on the Islanders all-time assist leader as a junior with 110 assists, passing Kirbria Lewis who set the record with 107 during the 2005-06 season. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will also look to senior guard Jessica Jammer. Last season, Jammer averaged 8.0 points and collected 4.7 rebounds per game while registering 25 blocks in 21.2 minutes per game.

Record at AMCC: 0-0 (first season) Career Record: 561-302 (28 years) A 28-year veteran of the women’s college basketball coaching ranks, Royce Chadwick, was named the fourth head women’s basketball coach in Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi history on April 11, 2012. Chadwick, who spent the previous 11 years at the helm of the Marshall University program, has 561 wins on his collegiate coaching resume. The Floydada, Texas, native has a career record of 561-302 (.650) in stops at Marshall, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston State, Oklahoma Panhandle State and Howard Junior College. In 20 years at the Division I level, he holds a 365-237 (.606) record and seven NCAA Tournament appearances. Much of his success came at Southland foe Stephen F. Austin, where he led the Ladyjacks for seven seasons. In his tenure at SFA, the team went 173-44 (.797) and advanced to the NCAA Tournament each season. The 1996 team made it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen, and Chadwick was named the Southland Coach of the Year in 1997. In his time in Nacogdoches he won the conference tournament six times and compiled a sparkling 128-14 (.901) mark in league play. His teams won five Southland regular-season championships. Chadwick led Marshall to seven winning seasons in his time there, the most of any coach in program history. He won 161 games for the Thundering Herd, including a 19-win season in 2004-05 that saw the team go 12-4 in Mid-American Conference play and win the MAC East for the first time. Chadwick earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Southwestern Oklahoma State in 1980 and later earned a master’s degree in business education from his alma mater in 1982.
