THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE

SOUTHLAND

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member, ACU rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of HBU, UIW and UNO gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include

Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). 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 broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run,

the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season. 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 and 2012, Sam Houston State 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 eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 104 Division I playoff games in 31 years, winning 51 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA 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 initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based 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 Division I-AA 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 six trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and


Joe Dumars, McNeese State

Dan Rather, Sam Houston State

Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs. The Southland has produced 168 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 (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2013 season. Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 11 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F. Austin) Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar) and Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas). The Southland has seen former Nicholls State players win Super Bowl rings in two of the last three seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls-ex Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens. 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 50 years. The league has sent four 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 2012. Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led successful teams in the Southland. In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member 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. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins. In each of the last four seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2012, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 13 times, including each of the last seven 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 nonconference 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 has had more players win this award. The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft, but for the first time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the first round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick. The Southland has had eight first-round picks in its history. 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. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, 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 Texas-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

The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and 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 All-Americans 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. Lamar alum Shawn Stefani had a pair of top seven finishes through the midway point of the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. 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 four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament five times in the last seven years. The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin midfielder Kylie

Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-America honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered first-team Academic All-America Honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Ladyjacks have gone 72-12-8 (.826) in conference play during the last 10 seasons. In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the first time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar leads all league teams with four team championships during that span. 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, student-athletes 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, and total of 1,545 student-athletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters during the 2012-13 academic year. 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 seven 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.

SOUTHLAND COMMISSIONER TOM BURNETT Southland Conference Commissioner 11th Year Joined Southland: Dec. 23, 2002 Alma Mater: Louisiana Tech, 1988

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 second-longest tenured full-time commissioner in league history, Burnett is now in his 11th year of service with the Southland, and has a conference administrative background reaching nearly 25 years. Burnett has helped to enhance the Southland’s membership, with the 2012 addition of Oral Roberts University, and this summer’s 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 give the Southland 14 members, the league’s largest configuration in its half-century of existence. 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 over 150 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 FC Dallas Stadium. The NCAA recently renewed the agreement to keep

the national championship game in Frisco through the 2016 event. 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 annually 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 NCAA’s 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, MidSouth Bank, 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, 49, 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.

2012-13 COMMISSIONER’S CUP

Southland Conference Commissioner Tom Burnett and Sam Houston State Athletics Director Bobby Williams

SOUTHLAND

On the strength of four regular-season team championships and 10 top-three finishes, Sam Houston State claimed its fourth Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup during the 2012-13 academic year. Sam Houston State compiled 126 points to edge last year’s cup winner, Stephen F. Austin, which scored 120 points. The Bearkats won their last Commissioner’s Cup in 2007, which capped a three-year run with the Cup for Sam Houston State. Since 2007, Sam Houston has finished fifth in the Commissioner’s Cup standings every year before reclaiming it this year. Sam Houston is one of two current Southland universities to win at least two Commission’s Cups, along with Stephen F. Austin. The Sam Houston women total 72.0 points to win its first women’s all-sports trophy in program history. Since 2003, the Bearkat women have finished in the top four seven times with two second-place finishes. The Sam Houston men had 54 points to finish second in the men’s all-sports trophy standings behind Stephen F. Austin, which had 57 points. The Bearkats, who won the men’s all-sports trophy in 2000 and 2007, have finished in the top-three five times in the last 10 seasons. Sam Houston won the baseball regular-season title and shared titles in football, volleyball and women’s basketball and finished in the top three in seven other sports including second place in women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field and women’s golf. Stephen F. Austin, the 2012 Commissioner’s Cup winner, was six points shy of claiming its second consecutive trophy and third in the last four years. The SFA athletics program was equally impressive in 2012-13 as the men’s and women’s programs combined to win seven conference championships. The men’s claimed titles in basketball and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women swept championships in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track and field while also claiming the soccer championship. Lamar (101), McNeese State (96) and Central Arkansas (90), came in third, fourth and fifth place, respectively. Oral Roberts (85) finished sixth, edging seventh-place Southeastern Louisiana (84.5) by the slimmest of margins in its first season as a Southland Conference member. Northwestern State (72.5) finished in eighth place, followed by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (67)

and Nicholls State (51) to round out this year’s standings. The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually to the top overall athletics program in the Southland. Sam Houston State leads all active member institutions with four. In the 16-year history of the Commissioner’s Cup, Stephen F. Austin has two and Northwestern State has one. The Southland Conference all-sports trophies are awarded annually for men’s and women’s competition based on a 10-point system for all conference sports. Point values are 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. The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded to the university compiling the highest combined total of men’s and women’s all-sports points.

SOUTHLAND ACADEMIC AWARDS The Southland Conference presents five academic accolades to recognize studentathletes within the league who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and superior athletic achievements on the field or court. These academic honors include the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the All-Academic teams, the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year, the Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete awards and the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship awards. 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. Southland Conference All-Academic Teams 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 student-athlete 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. Studentathletes 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. F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship The F.L. 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. Steve McCarty Citizenship 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.

The Southland Conference 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, Megan Herbert 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. Austin, which joined the Southland Conference in 1988, finished No. 19 in 1988, No. 11 in 1989, No. 6 in 1990, No. 14 in 1991, No. 4 in 1992, No. 12 in 1993, No. 19 in 1997 and No. 19 in 1998. 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 first WNIT win that same season, before ending the tournament in the consolation game. The next season, LouisianaMonroe advanced to the third round.

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 also 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 for the first time since 2010 with an appearance in the WBI along with Sam Houston State, which earned its first ever postseason bid in women’s basketball. During the conference’s 50th anniversary season in 2013, women’s basketball once against sent four teams to the postseason with Oral Roberts earning the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament in its first season in the Southland. Sam Houston State returned to the postseason with a trip to the WNIT while McNeese State and Lamar each made appearances in the WBI. The Cowgirls won three consecutive road games in the WBI to advance to the championship game against DetroitMercy. The 2013-14 season welcomes new members Abilene Christian, Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans to the conference. The Wildcats are coming off one of their most successful seasons last year, winning the Lone Star Conference and making a trip to the NCAA Division II tournament while UIW finished fifth in the Lone Star last season. Houston Baptist joins the Southland from the Great West and looks to continue to improve as the Huskies are coming off one of their most successful seasons a year ago. New Orleans is joining the Southland after spending the last several years as an independent and looks to make an immediate impact on the court. Multiple players have continued their careers professionally. Most recently, Central Arkansas’ Caronia Randle and Renita Dobbins played with the Arkansas Starz of the WBCBL, while Stephen F. Austin’s Charity Egenti was invited to WNBA training camp with the Phoenix Mercury.

SOUTHLAND ALL-DECADE TEAMS 1990 s A LL-DECA DE TEA M

Throughout the 2012-13 season, the Southland Conference announced alldecade teams for the three decades the league has played women’s basketball. To best assess the candidate pool for the all-decade team, the Southland Conference developed a metric that analyzed numerous elements of a student-athlete’s performance and value within the league at the time. Most notably, the conference honored “real-

time” factors such as all-conference selection by coaches and a player’s statistical performance among his peers at the time. Further, other components of selection including a player’s effort toward helping her team win a championship or finish near the top of the conference, whether she earned individual honors from the league, if she participated in postseason tournaments.

Stephen F. Austin Favored to Win Southland The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks have been selected as the preseason favorites to win the Southland Conference by a vote of the league’s coaches and sports information directors. SFA, which leads all schools with 15 regular-season championships, received seven first-place votes in both polls and 110 points in the coaches’ and 111 in the SID polls. Defending regular-season and tournament champion Oral Roberts is slotted second in both polls, receiving three first-place votes from both the coaches and SIDs. The Golden Eagles received 106 points from the coaches and 99 points from the SIDs. Following ORU in both polls are Nicholls and McNeese State, respectively. The Colonels picked up the final two first-place votes from the coaches and 95 total points while earning one-first place nod from the SIDs and 96 points. The Cowgirls earned 87 points from the coaches and 80 from the SIDs in the polls. Last season’s regular-season co-champions Sam Houston State is picked fifth by the coaches with 74 points and tied for fifth in the SID poll along with Lamar with 70 points. The Lady Cardinals are picked seventh by the coaches with 65 points. Central Arkansas is slated sixth by the coaches and seventh by the SIDs. The Sugar Bears also garnered the final first-place tally from the SIDs. Northwestern State is projected eighth in both polls with 64 points from the coaches and 66 points from the SIDs. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi follows the Lady Demons in the coaches’ poll with 47 points while Southeastern Louisiana is pick 10th by the coaches with 40 points. The Islanders and the Lady Lions are flipped in the SID poll with Southeastern earning 42 points and the Islanders claiming 39 points. Conference newcomers New Orleans and Houston Baptist round out both polls with UNO selected 11th and HBU picked 12th the coaches’ and SID polls. The Privateers received 19 points from the coaches and 27 from the SIDs while the Huskies picked up 16 points from the coaches and 23 some the SIDs. Abilene Christian and UIW are not eligible for the preseason poll since the two schools do not play complete conference schedules this season while in transition. Five All-Conference Selections Return for 2013-14 Season Five of the 11 players represented on the preseason teams were named all-conference following the 2012-13 season. Stephen F. Austin center Porsha Roberts was tabbed second-team all-conference while Nicholls guard KK Babin, Central Arkansas center Courtney Duever, Southeastern Louisiana forward Aja Gibson and Northwestern State guard Janelle Perez each earned third-team all-conference honors last year. Roberts, a native of Waco, Texas, led the league in blocks last season while ranking third in field goal percentage, fifth in rebounding and eighth in scoring. Roberts tallied 47 blocks while pulling down 115 of her 227 rebounds on the defensive side of the ball. She averaged 14.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Babin, a senior from Gonzales, La., led the league in minutes played (38.1) and ranked second in assists per game (5.0), fourth in 3-pointers per game (1.9), seventh in steals per game (1.8) and 11th in scoring (13.2). Babin has established herself as one of the league’s top point guards, ranking fifth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.2) last season. Duever, a senior from Austin, Texas, was the second-leading rebounder (8.8) and scorer (13.6) for the Sugar Bears last season, which also ranked third and 10th, respectively, in the Southland. Gibson, a senior from Somerville, Tenn., led the Lady Lions in points per game (10.9) and minutes player (26.4) last season while averaging 4.8 rebounds per contest and defensively recording 16 steals and 14 blocks. Perez, the reigning conference freshman of the year from El Paso, Texas, led Northwestern in minutes played (38.0), free-three percentage (80.9) and assists per game (3.3). Perez average 10.8 points per game last year for the Lady Demons, ranking third on the squad. Second team honorees include McNeese senior forward Cecilia Okoye, ORU senior center Sarah Shelton, Lamar junior forward Dominique Edwards, Nicholls senior forward LiAnn McCarthy, SFA senior forward Antoinette Carter and Lamar senior guard Gia Ayers. Southland Tournament Returns to Katy, Texas The Southland Conference will again travel to the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas for the league’s annual event. This year’s tournament is the same bracket format as 2013 and will begin on Wednesday, March 12 with the first two games featuring seeds five through eight will be played at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Game three and four, pinning the winners of the first two games against the four and five seeds will be held Thursday, March 13 at the same times. The semifinals will start Friday, March 14 with the top two regular season finishers seeing action for the first time and taking on the winners of the previous round. The tip time will once again be 11 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. The championship will be played Sunday, March 17 at noon. The first six games will be streamed live for free on the Southland Conference Digital Network, including Southland. org and the league’s Apple and Android Apps available at: Southland.org/mobile.aspx. For the first time this season, the championship game will be available on CBS Sports Network. Southland Women’s Basketball Sends Four to the Postseason For the second time in as many years, four Southland Conference women’s basketball programs received postseason invitations. Oral Roberts made its sixth overall appearance in the NCAA tournament, Sam Houston State was invited to its first postseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and Lamar and McNeese State were selected to play in the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). Oral Roberts received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament after defeating Sam Houston State in the 2013 Southland Conference Basketball Tournament. It was the Golden Eagles first trip to the NCAA Tournament as a Southland representative and ORU earned a No. 15 seed against second-seeded Tennessee. Sam Houston State received the Southland’s automatic bid into the WNIT claiming a share of the league’s regular season championship. The Bearkats faced Tulane in New Orleans, La. Sam Houston State and McNeese State both went the WBI with Lamar advancing to the second round and McNeese making a run all the way to the championship game.


2013-14 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE PREVIEW Oral Roberts Claims Southland Championship in First Season in League Oral Roberts University won their first-ever Southland Conference Tournament Championship on Saturday afternoon with a hard-fought 72-66 victory over Sam Houston State. The conference title guarantees ORU an automatic berth into the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship. The conference tournament title is the sixth in ORU program history and the first for the Golden Eagles (18-12) since winning the Summit League crown in 2008. Kevi Luper was named Tournament MVP after leading ORU with 26 points, while Jaci Bigham added 17 points and Savanna Buck chipped in 10. The senior trio, already one of the most decorated in ORU history, will be making their first NCAA Tournament appearance. Sequeena Thomas led the Bearkats (18-14) with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Luper, Bigham and Thomas joined Sam Houston’s Angela Beadle and McNeese State’s Caitlyn Baggett on the Southland Conference All-Tournament Team. Oral Roberts Makes Sixth Trip to NCAA Tournament, Draws Tennessee in First Round Oral Roberts knew it would take a near-perfect game for the 15-seed beat the second seeded Tennessee Lady Volunteers in Knoxville in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. A dominant defensive performance in the first half gave the Golden Eagles (18-13) a chance, but a scoring drought was too much to overcome as Tennessee claimed the 83-62 victory and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The loss brings to a close the careers of seniors Savanna Buck, Kevi Luper and Jaci Bigham. While Tennessee moved to 51-0 in home NCAA Tournament games. Luper led the offense for ORU, posting another 20-point effort, the 82nd of her illustrious career and moving into 14th place on the NCAA’s career scoring list with 2,867 career points. Savanna Buck and Taylor Cooper each had 15 points, while Sarah Shelton aided the cause in other ways with 10 rebounds and a career-high six blocks. Shelton’s blocks were part of a 10-block effort by the ORU defense, tying a Brittney Griner-led Baylor team for the Thompson-Boiling Arena record for a Tennessee opponent. Sam Houston State Comes Up Short Against Tulane in WNIT With a 10-0 surge midway through the second half, Tulane broke open a close game to end Sam Houston State’s 2013 women’s basketball season with a 65-57 Green Wave win in the first round of the WNIT Thursday at the Devlin Center in New Orleans. The contest was tied nine times with 12 lead changes as neither team led by more than four points for the first 30 minutes of the game. Seniors Britni Martin, Sequeena Thomas and Chanice Smith closed out their careers Thursday after leading Sam Houston to its first Southland Conference regular season championship, its first Southland tournament final and its first WNIT appearance. Martin led all scorers with 18 points. Thomas totaled 10 points and pulled down nine rebounds. Smith tallied three points and grabbed six rebounds. Angela Beadle was the Bearkats’ second-leading scorer with 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds. McNeese State Falls to Detroit in WBI Championship Game McNeese State’s women’s basketball team fell 73-62 to Detroit in the finals of the Women’s Basketball Invitational Saturday. The Cowgirls end the season with a 21-16 overall record. McNeese had three players score in double figures with seniors Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett ending their careers leading the way for the Cowgirls. Ashlyn ended the game with 22 points, making 8 of 19 from the field and 4 of 10 from behind the arc. Caitlyn scored 16 points on 5 of 10 from the field and 4 of 5 from three-point range and dished out eight assists without committing a turnover. McNeese also got double figure scoring from Cecilia Okoye who ended the game with 10 points and nearly had a double-double with a team high nine rebounds.

Southland Teams Play 37 Games Against Teams in 2013 Postseason Thirteen Southland schools will face non-conference opponents that participated in the 2013 postseason, including 17 games against teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Stephen F. Austin and Lamar each open its seasons with an NCAA participant last season as the Ladyjacks face LSU and the Lady Cardinals travel to Oklahoma State, Nov. 8. For the second consecutive season, Oral Roberts will face the most teams with postseason experience with seven. The Golden Eagles will play NCAA participants Kansas on Nov. 10 followed by Navy (Nov. 22) and Tulsa (Nov. 26). Appearing in last season’s WNIT on ORU schedule is Arkansas, Arkansas-Little Rock, Missouri and Marquette. Nicholls and Sam Houston State each play for postseason opponents while Lamar, McNeese State and SFA square off against three teams. Abilene Christian, Houston Baptist, New Orleans, Northwestern State, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi have two teams scheduled while UIW has one. Central Arkansas is the lone Southland team without a 2013 postseason team on its slate.

2013-14 PREVIEW

Lamar Advances to Second Round of WBI Senior Kalis Loyd became Lamar University’s all-time leader in games played Sunday afternoon at the Montagne Center when she took the floor for the 127th time in her storied career. Unfortunately for Loyd and her Lady Cardinal teammates, that is where the number will stop as South Dakota handed Lamar a 71-48 loss in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Basketball Invitational. Lamar, which was playing in a postseason tournament for the third time in the last four years, never wrestled the lead back from the Coyotes and finishes its 2012-13 campaign with an impressive 22-11 record. South Dakota improved to 19-15 on the year and will host McNeese State this week in a WBI semifinal game.

Whitney West percentage (89-111) and was selected ACU Student-Athlete of the Month in January of 2013. Sophomore Whitney West will be leaned on for points from the perimeter. In being named the Lone Star Conference’s Freshman of the Year, West averaged 7.9 points per game and ranked second in the league with a .418 3-point field goal percentage (41-98). West, who appeared in all 28 games with 14 starts, was credited with 58 assists (2.1 per game) a season ago, plus eight blocks and 24 steals. She also reached double figures in scoring on seven occasions, including a season-high 19 points at Texas A&M-Commerce. West’s classmate, Cemetra Jenkins of Mesquite, Texas, played in 12 of last season’s 28 games, but will certainly be called on more often with the influx of newcomers on the bench. The Dimba twins, who both stand 5-11 and play the post, led their senior-year high school team to a 36-2 record, which included a district championship and tournament titles at Caprock, Georgetown and Frisco. Lizzy Dimba averaged 11.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, while her sister, Suzzy, put 10.3 and 5.4. Mason’s per game totals as a senior included 18 points, five steals and assists and four rebounds as she earned district MVP honors in addition to making the all-state and region squads. Maxwell, a 6-3 post player best known for hitting the game-winning shot in the 2012 5-A TAPPS state championship, recorded career averages of 10 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, while Shelstead, who stands 6-1, registered a career double-double of 21 and 12. Shelstead’s senior season team won an area championship behind an overall record of 24-10 as she was named all-region, district and academic all-state. At guard, Elkins poured in over 1,000 career points and was named all-district on four occasions, while Goodman made second team all-Big Country this spring after averaging 13 points per game for the Eagles. She also led AHS in assists, rebounding, field-goal and freethrow percentage. Ngo, a two-time first team all-district selection, averaged 17.0 points per game as a senior, while Jolivet provided 5.4 and 7.6 rebounds for a Bellaire Senior program that went undefeated against the district the last four years.

Renata Marquez

2013-14 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASKETBALL

TEAM PREVIEWS

The Wildcats recorded one of the program’s best seasons during their final year in the Lone Star Conference as they reeled off 21 victories, tied for the league’s regularseason championship and qualified for their first NCAA Championship since 2009. ACU accomplished all of this and more under the leadership of first-year head coach Julie Goodenough, who inherited a team that was picked to finish seventh after going 12-14 the year before with many of the same players. But as newcomers to Division I athletics and the Southland Conference, ACU’s immediate NCAA postseason dreams will be postponed as the Wildcats begin their arduous four-year transition process. This means ACU also won’t be eligible for any Southland Conference postseason tournaments, but these key voids in the schedule didn’t stop many of the state’s top recruits from signing with Goodenough and her familiar assistants Jarod Newland and Kendra Hassell. Newland has assisted coach Goodenough over the past four seasons, while Hassell was a two-time Kodak First Team All-American under Goodenough during their time at Hardin-Simmons University. Hassell also joined Goodenough for several seasons at Oklahoma State and Charleston Southern. Twin sisters Lizzy and Suzzy Dimba from Lubbock Coronado headlined the fall signing class, which also included Sydney Shelstead of Mineral Wells, Erin Maxwell from Ursuline Academy in Dallas, and Alexis Mason of McKinney North. The Wildcats inked two additional guards in the spring, Jessica Elkins of Pasadena Memorial and Chelsea Ngo from Clear Brook High School in Houston. Abilene native Katelyn Goodman and Houston-area forward Brianne Jolivet also joined the team this year, giving the Wildcats an incoming freshman of class of nine players. These youngsters are expected to provide the Wildcats with a firm foundation over the next several seasons. Leading this group of rookies onto the Moody Coliseum court is senior Renata Marquez, who has been an absolute model of consistency since joining the Wildcats in 2010. She’s only missed a handful of games over the past three years, but last season the native of Conroe, Texas, started all 28 contests and for the first time in her career was named second team all-Lone Star Conference after averaging 13.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Marquez also ranked among the national leaders with a .802 free-throw

ABILENE CHRISTIAN WILDCATS JULIE GOODENOUGH Head Coach Second Year Alma Mater Texas-Arlington, 1991 Record at ACU: 21-7 (one season) Career Record: 310-227 (19 seasons)

TEAM PREVIEWS

Julie Goodenough is at the start of her 20th season as a collegiate head coach and second at the helm of the Abilene Christian women’s basketball team. The Haskell native became the program’s sixth head coach after being hired on March 27, 2012. Goodenough flipped the Wildcats’ fortunes during her first season on the bench, as she transformed a program hindered by consecutive losing seasons into conference champions. With many of the same players coming back from a 12-14 campaign in 2011-12, Goodenough maximized her roster’s talents throughout the season as the Wildcats went on to share the Lone Star Conference regular-season title with Midwestern State at 16-4. Picked to finish seventh in the Lone Star, ACU instead finished with an overall mark of 21-7, which served as the program’s first 20-win season since 2004-05. The Wildcats also earned their 12th appearance in the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament and first since 2008-09. On Jan. 15, 2013 against UIW, Goodenough won her 300th game as a collegiate head coach after the Wildcats prevailed over the Cardinals, 76-65. Goodenough’s efforts earned her co-Coach of the Year honors from the Lone Star, making her the sixth Wildcat coach in the Lone Star era – Burl McCoy (1982-83, 1984-85 and 1985-86), Suzanne Fox (199596), Wayne Williams (1997-98), and Shawna Lavender (2007-08) – to earn this prestigious honor. As a team, Goodenough’s Wildcats ranked 12th nationally in scoring offense (74.8 ppg) as they averaged the seventh-most 3-point field goals per game with 8.4. ACU also possessed one of the best defenses in all of D-II as evidenced by its 16th-ranked scoring margin (12.7) and 23rd-ranked field goal percentage defense (.353). Opponents struggled year-round from beyond the arc, as the Wildcats boasted the third best 3-point field goal defense (.249). A graduate of Texas-Arlington, Goodenough was the head coach at Hardin-Simmons University from 1993-2002 before going to Oklahoma State for three seasons. She was then the head coach at NCAA Division I Charleston Southern from 2006-12. In her 19 seasons as a head coach, Goodenough is 310-227 (.577) with 188 of those wins coming in her nine seasons at Hardin-Simmons. She was 23-61 in a short, three-year stint at Oklahoma State and 78-105 in six seasons at Charleston Southern. However, during her time as the Buccaneers’ head coach, she has posted two of only four winning seasons in the program’s history, which dates back to the 1976-77 season. Goodenough and her husband, Rob, have two daughters, Bailey and Macy.

COACHING HISTORY

Kelsei Ewings from Paris JC and forwards Brittany Agee (511, Shelton State) and Terai Sadler (5-11, Crowder College). Sadler was an NJCAA First Team All-American last season, averaging 18.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 steals per game while shooting 57.2 percent from the field and 85.4 percent from the free throw line. She guided her team to a 29-6 record, No. 14 national ranking and an appearance in the NJCAA Division I national tournament. Agee averaged 10.3 points and 6.0 rebounds for a Shelton State team that was 33-1 and the No. 5 team entering the NJCAA national tournament, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. The Sugar Bears will also be forced to rely upon a number of freshmen this season, with six of the 14 on the roster entering their first year of college basketball. The overhaul doesn’t stop with the player personnel, as the coaching staff has been revamped from last season as well with Rushing welcoming two new coaches into the fold for the 2013-14 campaign. Rusty Laverentz, previously the director of basketball operations for head coach Todd Buchanan at the University of Houston for the past three seasons, joined the program in May. He was previously an assistant coach under Buchanan at Houston Baptist for three seasons before making the move to Houston. Over the summer, the Sugar Bears also added Kaci Bailey to replace Shameka Russell, who left to return to Delta State, her alma mater, as an assistant coach. Bailey comes to UCA after spending last season as interim head coach at Henderson State University, a Division II program in Arkadelphia, Ark. She was appointed to that post in November of 2012, just prior to the beginning of the season, and guided the Lady Reddies to 13 wins. Bailey played for four seasons at Southern Illinois University before earning her master’s degree at Arkansas-Little Rock and beginning her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Arkansas-Monticello. Destinee Rogers, the Sugar Bears’ starting point guard during their championship run in 2012, was also elevated to a full-time position on staff after spending 2012-13 as a graduate assistant.

TEAM PREVIEWS

Though Sandra Rushing’s tenure at Central Arkansas began last season, it will be a new era in Conway in 2013-14. The Sugar Bears will look vastly different this season as they replace 10 players from last season, including a five-member senior class – four of whom won 81 games and a Southland Conference championship during their four years in the purple and gray. But it isn’t replacing 10 that’s the main issue for the Sugar Bears. It’s trying to replace 11 – as in No. 11. Megan Herbert, one of the league’s all-time greats with three Player of the Year awards and four first-team all-conference selections among her numerous accolades, is no longer around to lead the Sugar Bears’ charge – exhausting her eligibility with career totals of 2,329 points, 1,446 rebounds and 84 double-doubles. Taking the reins from Herbert as the Sugar Bears’ primary threat will be 6-foot-1 senior center Courtney Duever, a preseason first team All-Southland selection. Last season, Duever earned third team all-conference honors after averaging 13.6 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, the 10th and third highest averages among Southland players. In conference games, she upped her production to 14.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, which ranked eighth and third in the league. The Sugar Bears will also welcome back fifth-year senior guard Micah Rice, who was lost for the year early last season with a torn ACL and granted a medical hardship. Rice will provide a veteran presence in the Sugar Bear backcourt, having played in 102 games during her career with 86 starts. She has scored 874 points (8.6 per game) with 145 3-pointers to her credit, and has nearly 700 combined assists, steals and rebounds. Beyond that duo, there is little in the way of returning experience on the Central Arkansas roster. Sophomore guard Jameka Watkins logged 11.4 minutes per game as a freshman last season, averaging 1.6 points per game. Forward Tyisha Amos played in 19 games, but averaged only 6.1 minutes and had a total of 16 points and 18 rebounds for the year. The rest of the roster will be suiting up for the Sugar Bears for the first time. The newcomers include three junior transfers in 5-5 guard

CENTRAL ARKANSAS SUGAR BEARS SA NDR A RUSHING Head Coach Second Year Alma Mater Alabama, 1986 Record at UCA: 15-15 (second season) Career Record: 418-270 (25th season) 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. In her first season at UCA, she guided the Sugar Bears to a 15-15 record and third straight Southland tournament appearance. 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 19902001. 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.

Shanice Steenholdt HBU has 13 home games this season, with a nice mix of home and away. The longest road trip the Huskies has is four, from Jan. 30-Feb. 8, 2014. After a home exhibition against Texas-Tyler on Nov. 3, the Huskies open the regular season with the first three games in Houston: at home against Texas-Arlington on Nov. 8, at Texas Southern on Nov. 14, and back at home versus Southern Utah on Nov. 16. After a non-conference game at Sam Houston State on Nov. 19, the Huskies head east to play at Jackson State on Nov. 22 and South Alabama on Nov. 25. The Huskies return home to face former Great West Conference rival Texas-Pan American on Dec. 3 before playing at national power Baylor on Dec. 15. “We’re really excited to play at a powerhouse like Baylor,” said Finnie. “It will be a great test for us before conference play against arguably the best team in the nation.” The Huskies will play three games before the New Year: at CSU Bakersfield at UC Davis on Dec. 19 and 21, respectively, then host Huston-Tillotson on Dec. 28. The remainder of the schedule will be Southland Conference games. The Huskies’ first-ever conference game will be at Oral Roberts on Jan. 2, while their first home conference game will come Jan. 9 against SFA. “The Southland is very enticing,” said Finnie. “We hope to have many rivalries that we didn’t have in the Great West Conference.” After spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach, Finnie enters her first season as head coach for the Huskies. She becomes the first international to ever land a head coaching job in Division I women’s basketball. The Edinburgh, Scotland, native came to HBU after coaching the Scotland National Team for 10 seasons.

TEAM PREVIEWS

Houston Baptist enters 2013-14 with a new conference, a new coach, and plenty of optimism. After spending the last four seasons in the Great West Conference, the Huskies begin their first season in the Southland Conference. Houston Baptist lost just one letterwinner from a season ago and return 11 letterwinners and all five starters. The Huskies went 7-24 overall and 1-7 in conference play in 2012-13. The seven wins were the most since 2008-09. With no seniors in 2013-14, the upcoming season looks bright for the Huskies. Leading the way is last season’s First Team All-Great West recipient, junior forward Shanice Steenholdt, who led the conference with 18.6 points per game and was third with 9.9 rebounds per game. She also led the Huskies with 55 blocks, 77 steals, and a 50 percent field goal percentage. Steenholdt was ranked 39th nationally in points per game, 38th in rebounds per game, and tied for 20th in double doubles (15). She scored 20-or-more points 15 times, including two 30-plus point performances in a span of a month. She was twice named Great West Conference Player of the Week (12/5 and 3/12). Steenholdt is currently eighth in program history with 892 career points. Also returning are junior guard and forward, Tayler Jefferson and Erin McGarrachan, who averaged 8.8 and 8.6 points per game, respectively. Jefferson led the Huskies with 46 three-pointers made, while McGarrachan grabbed an average of 5.5 rebounds a game. HBU brings four newcomers to its squad for 2013-14: Heidi Sihvola, Soraya Page, Emely Lopez, and sophomore transfer Anna Strickland, who comes to HBU from Harding University. “Heidi will push for a starting spot at the guard position, while Soraya has shown the most improvement over the summer and has great potential,” said head coach Donna Finnie.

HOUSTON BAPTIST HUSKIES SH A NICE STEENHOLDT

DONNA F INNIE Head Coach First Year Alma Mater Heriot Watt, 1998 Record at HBU: 0-0 (first season) Career Record: 0-0 (first season) Donna Finnie was named the fifth head coach in program history on April 17, 2013, making history in the process. Finnie became the first international ever to land a head coaching position in NCAA Division I basketball. She recently concluded her third season as assistant coach/recruiting coordinator for the HBU women’s basketball program. The Huskies went 7-24 in 2012-13, as the seven wins were the most for the program since the 2008-09 season. HBU defeated four Division I opponents and won its first playoff game in two seasons. In 2011-12, the Huskies battled through injuries while stumbling to a 1-27 overall record and a 0-10 conference mark. The Huskies lost their two leading scorers to season-ending injuries. Freshman Shanice Steenholdt set new program records with 40 points and 22 rebounds against Huston-Tillotson. Joselyn Pugh, Steenholdt, and Devyn Weymouth earned Great West Conference All-Honorable Mention, while Weymouth also earned a spot on the All-Newcomer Team. In 2010-11, her first season with the Huskies, she helped guide the Huskies to a 4-25 record in a season that saw HBU win its first nonconference Division I opponent since 2008-09 and win its first Great West Conference tournament game. Finnie came to HBU after spending 10 seasons as a coach for the Scotland National Team. From 2000-03, she was an assistant coach with the National U-16 and U-18 teams and was the head coach from 2003-09 for the U-16 and U-18 national teams. In 2005, the U-18 Scottish national team defeated Spain in Barcelona, the first time the team had defeated Spain. In 2008, the U-18 national team won two games, including the first-ever victory over Denmark. In 2009, the U-18 national team had its first-ever win over the Netherlands. Finnie is the first head coach at any level to win two consecutive FIBA Tournaments in 2005 and 2006 and is the first Scottish female head coach to win any FIBA Tournament. An Edinburgh native, Finnie graduated with a B.S.c. degree in applied sports sciences from Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh.

Katie Novak Mora is a player who can do a little bit of everything. She enters the season only 150 points away from 1,000 for her career and has a chance to reach 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 200 steals for her career. She has an excellent mid-range game on offense and can guard anyone on defense from point guards to power forwards. Rangy and athletic, she provides a matchup problem for other teams. Whitehead was the team’s best low post option on offense last year and averaged more than a point every two minutes on the court. She shot over 48 percent from the field and attempted a free throw every 4.2 minutes on the floor. One of the keys for Whitehead will be how much time she can stay on the floor after playing an average of 18.7 minutes per game in 2012-13. Douglass figures to take over the point guard role for the Cardinals. Her quickness and explosiveness allows her to beat defenders off the dribble and also be a tenacious on-the-ball defender. She will be counted on to be a leader on the court. The Cardinals have a number of newcomers that Henderson is optimistic about, but thinks it may take them some time to fully adjust to playing and attending college. Freshman center Shelby Leinneweber has been showing signs that she will be a good player and it could be sooner rather than later. Junior college transfer Breanna Birmingham is a 6-0 forward who can run the floor well. Another freshman, Alyssa Ward from Palmetto, FL figures to receive playing just based on the fact that she is an unbelievable defensive stopper. Overall, Henderson and the Cardinals are looking to build a foundation for the future as they join the Southland Conference this year. The competition will be tough, but excitement outweighs all other feelings the members of the program have heading into the season.

2013-14 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASKETBALL

TEAM PREVIEWS

Heading into their first year in NCAA Division I and the Southland Conference, the University of the Incarnate Word women’s basketball team is going through one more transition, a new head coach. Long-time assistant coach Kate Henderson was named the interim head coach in May when former head coach Angela Lawson decided to step down after 13 years to move into an administrative role in the athletic department. The Cardinals return three starters from last season’s 17-10 campaign and Henderson plans to focus on the same things that have made UIW successful in the past; fundamentals, defense and rebounding. The focus of the team in preseason practices has been on fundamentals. Henderson plans to develop more of an inside game on offense coupled with an increased use of screens to set up open shots. Henderson expects the Cardinals to be a much improved shooting team in 2013-14. Last season, the team struggled from the field hitting 36.5 percent of their shots and only 29.1 percent from three-point range. Senior Katie Novak led the team with 26 three-pointers and 34.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc last year and returns as the squad’s most consistent outside threat. Despite the increased emphasis on offense, the Cardinals’ bread and butter will remain defense and rebounding. The UIW defense is one that forces plenty of turnovers, nearly 20 per game last year, and forces the opposition into tough shots. They held opponents to 39.4 percent shooting in 2012-13. The team will use a combination of man-to-man and full-court pressing to harass their opponents. The Cardinals will rely upon the trio of Ify Mora, Rose Whitehead and Joslinn Douglass to lead the way into Division I. They are the top three scorers returning from last year, but will be relied upon to do so much more.

UIW CARDINALS K ATE HENDERSON Head Coach First Year Alma Mater Texas Lutheran, 2000 Record at UIW: 0-0 (first season) Career Record: 0-0 (first season) Kate Henderson was introduced as the interim head women’s basketball coach at UIW on April 3, 2013 following six seasons as the top assistant. She joined the Incarnate Word staff in 2007, returning to the program in which she spent two years as a graduate assistant. The Cardinals record since Henderson joined the staff is 100-69 with a conference mark of 62-34. She was part of two straight 20-win seasons that saw the team win the Heartland Conference Tournament and advance to the NCAA Division II Tournament in 2008-09 and win the Heartland Conference regular season title in 2009-10. In the team’s second year in the Lone Star Conference, she helped guide the program to an appearance in the conference tournament championship game. During her two years as the women’s basketball GA from 2001-03, she helped the team reach its first-ever Heartland Conference Tournament semifinal. Meanwhile, in the classroom, she earned her Master’s degree in Education. After her time as the graduate assistant, she worked as an assistant coach at Texas A&M-Kingsville for one season, then on to McLennan Community College for two years. With Henderson as the assistant coach, the High Lassies won 49 games and captured back-to-back conference championships. From McLennan, she came back to Texas and took an assistant position at Texas State for a season before accepting the title of assistant coach at University of the Incarnate Word. Prior to getting her master’s degree at UIW in 2003, she was the recruiting coordinator at Blinn College. Before getting into coaching, she was a standout player at King High School in Corpus Christi and spent two seasons at Weatherford College in north Texas, leading her teams to two conference championships and getting as far as the NJCAA Final Four. From there, she transferred to Texas Lutheran University to finish out her college career and earned her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology in 2000. Henderson is a member of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association and enjoys outdoor activities and spending time with her dog, Beau.

LAMAR LADY CARDINALS SOU THLA ND HISTORY

SEASON OU TLOOK

Alice Robinson The other two starting spots are up for grabs. Expected to battle for starting roles are junior guard Shauna Long, who averaged 4.5 points per game while draining a teambest 44 3-pointers, senior forward Chantelle Brockett, who averaged 2.3 points per game, and senior forward Caroline Adesulu, who averaged 1.6 points per game. They will face challenges from the five newcomers, who could be thrown into the fire right away. Forward Bethany Cox, guard Kensha’dra Smith and post player Kiandra Bowers are all freshmen who could crack the starting lineup this season. “We need some of the new players to step up right away,” Harmony said. “We’ll see who really wants it.” Lamar has bolstered its non-conference schedule for this season. The Cardinals, who played four non-Division I teams last season, have just one non-Division I squad on this year’s slate. Lamar opens the season at nationally ranked Oklahoma State, and will also face UTSA, Louisiana-Lafayette, SMU and Missouri State, among others, on the road. The nonconference home slate features games against Tulsa, Texas State and Rice. Harmony vows the Cardinals will be a tough team to play against. “We’re going to play a pressure defense,” she said. “We’re going to challenge opponents the length of the court. We want to create some offense off of our defense.” Harmony brought two of her assistants from St. Thomas, Randy Schneider and Candace Walker, to Lamar with her. Recruiting coordinator Sunny Vadopalaite enters her fourth season at Lamar. “I think we have a very good staff,” Harmony said. “We’re all on the same page. We all work well together. “I’m very excited to be at Lamar. We have a great facility in the Montagne Center, and I love the campus. I can’t wait for the season to get started.”

TEAM PREVIEWS

Robin Harmony may be new to Lamar, but she’s certainly familiar with success. The former University of Miami standout was a winner with the Hurricanes both as a player and as an assistant coach, and carried that success over to St. Thomas, where she racked up a 131-48 record in six seasons as the program’s first head coach, leading her team to the NAIA National Tournament on three occasions. Now Harmony brings that track record of success to Lamar, where she hopes to build upon a solid foundation of six consecutive winning seasons, the longest such stretch in program history at Lamar. Harmony replaces Larry Tidwell, who left Lamar to take over the reins at Texas-Pan American. Lamar went 22-11 last season, including a 12-6 mark in the Southland Conference, good for third place. The Cardinals made their third postseason appearance in four seasons, advancing to the second round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational. Lamar returns eight letterwinners and three starters from last season, but needs to find a way to fill the void left by the graduation of Kalis Loyd, who led Lamar in scoring with an average of 17.3 points per game while earning first-team All-Southland Conference honors. Loyd left Lamar as the program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,967 points, and is the only player on the top-10 career list for points, rebounds, assists and steals. The returning starters will be counted upon heavily this season. Junior forward Dominique Edwards was second on the team in scoring, averaging 9.6 points per game. Edwards tied Loyd for the team lead in rebounding, averaging 7.0 boards per game. Senior forward Alice Robinson averaged 4.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game while leading Lamar with 30 blocked shots. Senior guard Gia Ayers averaged 8.6 points per game last season and led Lamar with a career-best 126 assists. Ayers earned honorable mention all-conference accolades.

LAMAR LADY CARDINALS ROBIN H A RMON Y Head Coach First Year Alma Mater Miami, 1984 Record at LU: 0-0 (first season) Career Record: 131-48 (six seasons)

TEAM PREVIEWS

Robin Harmony, who has an impressive record of success as a player and coach, was named women’s basketball coach at Lamar on April 30, 2013. Harmony came to Lamar from St. Thomas University, where she spent six seasons as the school’s first-ever women’s basketball coach, posting an impressive 131-48 record. Harmony, a two-time Sun Conference Coach of the Year, led the Bobcats to three appearances in the NAIA National Championships. The Bobcats never had a losing season under Harmony, and went 27-4 with a perfect 14-0 Sun Conference record in her last season before losing in the first round of the NAIA National Championships. A defensive-minded coach, Harmony’s philosophy paid office at St. Thomas as the Bobcats twice ranked second in the nation in scoring defense and twice were in the top five for steals per game, 3-point field-goal percentage defense and turnover margin. Prior to her time as head coach at St. Thomas, Harmony spent 18 seasons on the coaching staff of her alma mater, the University of Miami, the last 12 seasons as associate head coach. Harmony acted as interim coach for two games in her final season with the Hurricanes, posting victories in both contests. During her time at Miami, Harmony helped the Hurricanes win three Big East regular-season championships, two Big East Conference Tournament Championships, reaching the postseason seven times and advance to the Sweet 16 on one occasion. Harmony, who was assistant women’s basketball coach and recruiting coordinator for one season at Fairleigh Dickinson, was a standout player for the University of Miami. The first women’s basketball player inducted into the university’s Hall of Fame, Harmony totaled 1,308 points, 750 rebounds, 445 assists and 314 steals in a school-record 125 games. Harmony still holds the school record for assists in a game with 14 in a contest against Florida International University on Dec. 4, 1982. She is 10th in career points and fifth in career rebounds at Miami. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in education and recreation form Miami, Harmony played one season of professional basketball in England, helping her club, the Avon Cosmetics, win a league championship while earning Most Valuable Player Honors. Harmony, who earned a master’s degree in sports administration from St. Thomas, is a graduate of Hershey (Pa.) High School, where she was a three-year starter.

MCNEESE STATE COWGIRLS SOU THLA ND HISTORY

SEASON OU TLOOK

Jayln Johnson 2.7 rpg. during the season but led the Cowgirls in rebounds with 6.8 rpg. during the WBI. Jones grabbed a career high 10 rebounds against Elon in the second round of the WBI. Baggett and Johnson are expected to be in the starting lineup this season after both players came off the bench last season. Baggett started in two games last season while Johnson started in one. Baggett was fourth on the team in scoring with 6.3 ppg. and had a 61.1 free throw percent. She scored in double figures in three of the last four games last season and scored a career high 19 against Stephen F. Austin. Johnson averaged 5.3 ppg. and was third on the team with 66 assists and 38 steals. Johnson saw most of her playing time last season as a reserve behind starter Caitlyn Baggett. Johnson is expected to be the Cowgirls’ starting point guard this season. Johnson had a career game against Centenary last season, scoring a career high 18 points and dished out six assists with seven steals. As usual, the Cowgirls will once again have a tough preseason schedule as the Cowgirls will host Rice, Louisiana Tech, UL-Monroe and Southern in non-conference games. McNeese will open their season against Wiley College on Nov. 8. The Cowgirls will travel to New York again to take part in the Long Island Turkey Classic, November 29-30. McNeese played in this same tournament two years ago. While in the area, the Cowgirls will play at Fairleigh Dickinson on Nov. 27 in Teaneck, N.J. The schedule has the Cowgirls traveling to Tulane on Nov. 11 for its first road contest of the season. McNeese will also travel to Texas Southern (Nov. 19), Fairleigh Dickinson (Nov. 27) and nationally ranked Baylor on Dec. 28. McNeese will play home and home Southland Conference games against Southeastern La., New Orleans, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Houston Baptist and Nicholls. The Cowgirls will host Central Arkansas and Oral Roberts and will travel to Sam Houston State, Lamar, Northwestern State and Stephen F. Austin. The Cowgirls open the Southland Conference schedule at home against Southeastern La. on Jan. 2 and New Orleans on Jan. 4.

2013-14 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASKETBALL

TEAM PREVIEWS

McNeese returns three starters from a team that advanced to the WBI championship game and posted a 21-15 overall record and an 11-7 conference record last season. The Cowgirls will look to replace its top two scorers from the past two seasons in twins Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett. The Cowgirls will look to senior Cecilia Okoye, the 2013 Southland Conference “Newcomer of the Year” to pick up where she left off last season in both scoring and rebounding. The Cowgirls also return starters Arianna James and Alaina Verdin. Okoye led the Cowgirls and ranked fifth in the Southland Conference with a 50.0 field goal shooting percent. Okoye led the Cowgirls in rebounding with 7.1 per game and was third on the team in scoring with 9.1 points per game. Okoye recorded seven double-doubles and scored a career high 21 against Central Arkansas last season. She grabbed 10 or more rebounds in nine games with a career high 15 against Texas Southern. The Cowgirls will look to Okoye to continue where she left off last season and to provide inside scoring for the Cowgirls again this season. James will be looked upon for more scoring output this season. She returns as a starter and was second on the team in rebounds with 5.4 per game and was fourth on the team in steals with 34. She also averaged 4.2 ppg. James scored in double figures in five games last season and led the Cowgirls in scoring in one game and was the Cowgirls’ leading rebounder in eight games. Verdin started in 28 games last season as a sophomore and was fifth on the team in scoring with 5.8 ppg. while averaging 2.1 rebounds per game. Verdin also produced the second best free throw percent on the team with a 76.9 free throw percent. Verdin has struggled through injuries the past few seasons but she has the ability to score in transition as well as in the half court. Last season, Verdin scored in double figures in six games with her career high 16 coming against Tulane early on in the season. The Cowgirls also return senior NeTanya Jones and sophomores Allison Baggett and Jayln Johnson. Jones came on strong late in the season, especially during the WBI tournament. Jones averaged 1.4 ppg. and

For the third consecutive year, head coach Brooks Donald Williams led McNeese to a postseason tournament. Williams guided the Cowgirls to the WBI championship game in 2013 and back-to-back Southland Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2011 and 2012. Williams has posted more than 20 win seasons in each of the last three seasons. McNeese picked up the programs first postseason victory last season with an 82-70 win over Mercer in the first round of the WBI. The Cowgirls posted a 3-1 record in the WBI, falling 73-62 to Detroit in the championship game. Last season, Williams posted a 21-15 overall record and 11-7 conference record and advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament for the third consecutive season and fifth in last six years. Williams also produced the Southland’s Newcomer of the Year (Cecilia Okoye) and the Student Athlete of the Year (Ashlyn Baggett) for the third straight year. Williams picked up her 100th career victory with a 65-45 win over Northwestern State on March 13, 2013 in the opening round of the Southland Conference Tournament. Williams led McNeese to its most successful season in school history in 2011 by winning 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 year. For her accomplishments on the court, Williams was named the league’s and Louisiana’s Coach of the Year. In 2012, Williams led the Cowgirls to their second consecutive Southland Tournament title and NCAA Tournament. The Cowgirls nearly picked up their first NCAA Tournament win against Kentucky, falling 6862 to the SEC regular season champions. The Cowgirls posted a 26-8 overall record and a 13-3 conference record and a 12-2 home record.

Yasmin Taylor offense whether she is putting points in the basket herself or creating opportunities for teammates. A native of Oakton, Va., Davis played a key role as the leader of the scout team a year ago and with 27 Division I games, including nine starts, under her belt, brings a wealth of Division I experience that is lacking for many of her teammates on a young UNO squad. Other anticipated contributors on the offensive end include sophomores Mathilde Fogelstrom and Yasmin Taylor. As freshmen, the duo played a major role on the glass with Fogelstrom averaging 7.7 rebounds to pace the team with Taylor right behind her with 6.9 grabs off the glass a contest. Fogelstrom produced six games with at least double-digit rebounds including 18 in a win against Arkansas-Monticello. Fogelstrom added a double-double last year and will be looked upon as a sophomore to take advantage of her 6-2 frame and take advantage of the opportunities provided to bolster her 26.6 field goal percentage of a year ago. Taylor was a nice mid-season addition for the Privateers last year, blossoming after after overcoming an early season injury that kept her sidelined for the first month of the season. Taylor rebounded – literally – by reaching double-figure rebound totals on three separate occasions, including 18 at Texas-Pan American. A native of Metairie, La., Taylor showed some of her scoring knack by producing at least eight points in nine of 19 games contested. Senior forward Amber Clay, senior guard Samantha Clay and sophomore guard Haley Alexander make up the remainder of the returnees for UNO. The Privateers anticipate playing their most challenging schedule in some time, including trips to perennial regional powers Louisiana Tech, Mississippi State and Tulane. A special treat is in store for the team which is ineligible for the postseason as UNO will also venture to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for a contest against national power North Carolina.

2013-14 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASKETBALL

TEAM PREVIEWS

For New Orleans head coach Keeshawn Carter, the 2013-14 season will go down in the record books as her third season at the helm of the program. What will be unique to this coming year is that it will be the first in which Carter – a proud UNO alum and former women’s basketball assistant – has had the assistance of a full offseason to recruit NCAA Division I talent. Carter did not have that advantage in light of UNO’s flirtations with NCAA Division II and Division III prior to moving ahead late in the recruiting game with a move to the Southland Conference, which will welcome the Privateers in 2013-14. The fruits of Carter and her staff’s labor during the course of a full recruiting year is a young roster, one that includes eight newcomers, of which seven are freshmen. It is a complete re-build of the UNO roster from a squad that went 3-23 last year. Though freshmen account for a large part of the roster, the Privateers also receive some veteran leadership with the additions of Melissa Jensen and Danielle Davis, who do not count as newcomers. The duo were both members of last season’s roster with Jensen suffering an ACL injury in the second game of the 2012-13 season while Davis sat the season out following a transfer from Division I Central Connecticut State. Newcomers and returnees alike will have to step up to produce points on the scoreboard. The top three scorers from last year - a group that accounted for 61.1 percent of the scoring is no longer part of the team. That trio which included Keri Thomas (15.0 points per game), Mirjam Sipos (9.7) and Mechel’le Thomas (8.5) all competed as seniors a year ago. Both Keri and Mechel’le were two-year letterwinners while Sipos remained a member of the team for four seasons as the Privateers navigated every which direction on the NCAA superhighway. With an eye towards the future after learning in the past, Carter anticipates Davis to factor heavily into the

NEW ORLEANS PRIVATEERS KEESH AW N CA RTER Head Coach Third Year Alma Mater New Orleans, 2002 Record at UNO: 3-49 (two seasons) Career Record: 3-49 (two seasons)

TEAM PREVIEWS

Keeshawn Carter was named interim head women’s basketball coach on Apr. 25, 2011 before a promotion to the head coach position midway through the 2011-12 season. Carter replaced Amy Champion, who relinquished the head coaching position to focus on her duties as athletic director. The 2013-14 season will be Carter’s 11th as a member of the UNO coaching staff and third as a head coach. Playing with just three scholarships and dealing with the uncertainty associated with the institution’s athletic status, Carter directed the Privateers through a 0-26 season. Despite the struggles of her first year, Carter continues to plug on and desires re-establishing the UNO women’s basketball program, which has been a large part of her adult life. If the second season – her first full recruiting class – was any indication, things are on the rise. With a group of freshmen in Yasmin Taylor and Mathilde Fogelstrom playing a key role, Carter’s program made significant strides finishing the season 3-23 with victories against future Southland rival Houston Baptist and Utah Valley. Both wins removed a major burden from the squad, which narrowly loss many games while gaining experience which will help the team down the road. Carter’s tenure on the coaching staff began when she served in the capacity of a student assistant and graduate assistant for two years. In 2003, the native of Reserve, La. became the first-ever full-time third assistant for the Lady Privateers during the summer of 2003. Carter added to her list of ‘first’ when she became the first former UNO women’s basketball player to lead the program. “It is an honor that is not taken lightly,” said Carter. “I am very excited about this opportunity and glad that it comes at my alma mater.” A four-year letterwinner, Carter saw action in 100 contests and made 32 starts for the Privateers during her undergraduate years on the Lakefront. A Sun Belt Conference Academic Honor Roll selection during her time at UNO, Carter averaged 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest over her career, serving in the role of co-captain during her senior season. In 2005 recipient of a master’s degree in education from UNO with a focus on psychosocial aspects of sport and exercise, Carter originally came to campus in 1997 from East St. John High School. At ESJ, Carter graduated as the all-time leading scorer while leading the school to its first playoff win and first-ever district title during her senior season. A two-time team captain, Carter earned All-State and Academic All-State Honorable Mention honors in her senior season and was a three-time all-district selection.

NICHOLLS COLONELS SOU THLA ND HISTORY

SEASON OU TLOOK

Jenny Nash and Jasmine Scott Joining Babin in the senior class are forwards LiAnn McCarthy and Jasmine Scott. McCarthy averaged 8.6 points in 25 games before missing the last portion of the season with a knee injury. Scott will be the Colonels’ main post presence after averaging 8.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in her first season with the program. Scott was extremely efficient with her shot selection, finishing second in the conference in field goal percentage (.586). Guard Jenny Nash leads a trio of returning juniors as she was one of three Colonels to start all 30 games last season. Nash averaged 7.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and was second on the team with 44 made 3-pointers. Center JonMarie Guillory, who started 19 games, and forward Syleida Ellis are expected to contribute in the post. The sophomore class features a pair of explosive guards, Emani White and Hope Pawlowski. White will look to have an increased role in the offense after finishing third on the team in scoring at 8.9 points. She also poses as a deep threat as she was one of three Colonels to make at least 40 3-pointers (43). Pawlowski appeared in 27 games as a true freshman. Along with scoring 2.3 points, her highoctane style of play led to 39 steals as Nicholls averaged a conference-best 10.6 steals per game. Joining the Colonels this season are four newcomers – junior transfer Shay Arnick and freshmen Elexus Allen, Marina Lilly and Taylor Morrison. Arnick and Lilly give Nicholls a pair of huge post players as they are listed at 6’2 and 6’3, respectively. Allen comes in as a versatile 6’1 forward, while Morrison adds depth to the backcourt as a 5’8 combination guard.

TEAM PREVIEWS

The 2012-13 season turned out to be the best campaign in the history of Nicholls women’s basketball - a programrecord 19 victories including 11 in conference play which matched the Colonels’ all-time high for a single-season, and a No. 4-seed in the Southland Conference Tournament. With only one starter graduated, the enthusiasm surrounding the program is at an all-time high. As the Colonels’ success has increased each season under head Coach DoBee Plaisance, so have the expectations. Nicholls’ first goal was to reach the Southland Conference Tournament, which was reached two years ago. The next was to finish near the top of the conference. Check. So that leaves only one goal left unfulfilled – a conference championship. Despite all the milestones the team achieved in 201213, the Colonels are eager to get back to work and put last season’s early exit from the Southland Conference Tournament behind them. With eight letterwinners returning including two-time All-Southland senior guard KK Babin, Coach Plaisance will have her most experienced group to work with in her six-year tenure. At the end of the 2011-12 season, Nicholls lost its leading scorer but was able to improve as a whole. The Colonels will have to do that again this season, but will also have to replace a large hole in the defense as second-team All-Southland forward Alisha Allen not only led the team in scoring (15.6 ppg), but she anchored the squad in rebounding (6.0) and blocks (32). On the offensive side, Plaisance will look Babin, a threeyear starter, to fill the scoring void. Although standing at only at 5’4, Babin has been a giant asset for the Colonel offense since arriving on campus. Already a member of the 1,000 point club, Babin posted a career-high 13.2 points and 5.0 assists last season. Babin also heads the Colonel long range attack, netting 57 of Nicholls’ 175 3-pointers last season.

NICHOLLS COLONELS DOBEE PLA ISA NCE Head Coach Sixth Year Alma Mater Southern Miss, 1986 Record at NICH: 48-97 (five seasons) Career Record: 205-320 (18 seasons)

TEAM PREVIEWS

DoBee Plaisance is in her sixth 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 where she successfully built a dominant NAIA program. Over the past two seasons, Plaisance has lead Nicholls to backto-back record-breaking campaigns, winning a total of 34 games. In 2011-12, the Colonels claimed an all-time best 15 wins, capped by its first postseason victory in team history. Last season, the Colonels rewrote the record books again, finishing with a program-best 19-11 overall record. In conference, Nicholls captured 11 wins to tie its previous best mark and earned a No. 4-seed in the Southland Conference Tournament. In her first season at Nicholls, the Colonels suffered through a number of growing pains, winning only two games. But over the next two seasons, Plaisance doubled her victories, claiming four wins in her second year, and eight in her fourth. In 2011-12, she almost pulled of the feat for the third time as Nicholls came up one victory short of the benchmark. After just five years, Plaisance already ranks third on the Colonels’ all-time win list as she heads into the 2013-14 slate with 48 victories. Along with her own success, Plaisance has also guided her players to numerous individual accolades. Since the start of her tenure, Nicholls has had six All-Southland selections which is two more than the Colonels had in the previous 17 seasons. 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. Following her stint with Southern Miss, she joined the Tulane University staff as assistant coach where she spent three seasons. Plaisance landed her first job as head coach at St. Martin Episcopal High School in Metairie, La. Her teams compiled a 70-4 record over that span that included a perfect 36-0 mark in 1993.

NORTHWESTERN STATE LADY DEMONS SEASON OU TLOOK

SOU THLA ND HISTORY

Janelle Perez Graf is a 3-point threat every time she is on the floor. She averaged 7.1 points a game in 2011-12. “Each of them have been solid for us in the preseason and are adjusting to how we do things now that they’re back on the court,” she said. “Just having their experience on the floor will be a nice mix with all the youth we have on the roster.” A majority of the 2012-13 roster will be made up of people who have one year or less of Division I experience, but the return of sophomores Perez and Keisha Lee will help bolster the youth. “I have seen the typical growth you see from the freshman to sophomore year from Janelle. She’s one that is always working on her game,” said Stoehr. Perez finished the year with 10.8 points and 3.3 assists per game. Her 100 total assist ranks her sixth all-time in NSU history for a freshman. She is the fourth-leading assists-getter returning to the conference. “Her growth and improvement comes more from a confidence standpoint. She looks very comfortable having been in our system for a year and looks confident in leading the team and running our offense,” said Stoehr. “The great thing about Janelle is she is never satisfied with her game and is constantly working to improve some area of her skill set.” Lee returns this season after showing tremendous progression in 2012-13. “Keisha had a big freshmen year from an offensive standpoint,” said Stoehr.“She really committed to increasing her fitness level and gained some valuable experience last year.” Lee is the top-returning scorer for Northwestern after she averaged 12.0 points per game a season ago. She finished the year second behind Jasmine Upchurch. “Keisha has a strong desire to win and compete. She understands teams will be looking to limit her looks on the offensive end this year,” said Stoehr. We’ve challenged her to bring the same energy on the defensive end of the floor and she’s ready to do that.” Northwestern’s backcourt brings a lot of experience to the table. Perez and Lee each have a year under them coupled with Graf and Bradley’s return; the Lady Demons have much-need depth back.

TEAM PREVIEWS

Last season, co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr’s main goal was to change the culture of the Lady Demon basketball program that had missed the conference tournament and won only six games the year before. In 2013-14, the two feel they have the program on the right track to being a competitive Division I program. “After having a year in the program, we feel like our fitness level is much better and where it needs to be in order to be a competitive Division I program, said Brooke Stoehr. “Our returners are healthy and they understand the daily expectations we have as a program. “Last season was as much about learning how we want to represent the program and what we do on a daily basis on and off the court to make that happen,” said the second year co-head coach. “I believe the wins we experienced last year helped propel them in the offseason and gave them some confidence to move into next season.” In 2012-13, Northwestern State finished eighth in the conference, but beat four of the top five teams in the Southland Conference. The first game of the conference season was a 64-62 win over defending league champion McNeese on a last second 3-pointer by Southland freshman of the year Janelle Perez. “Our returners have a deeper understanding of what type of commitment level we’re asking for and their work ethic has greatly improved coming into this season,” said Stoehr. The 2012-13 season also marks the return of seniors Trudy Armstead and Meredith Graf. Graf missed last season after having shoulder surgery due to an injury she suffered in the 2010-11 season. Armstead returns after she was redshirted last season. “Having Meredith and Trudy on the floor will really provide some leadership and experience we lacked last season. They have experienced ups and downs in their careers and have dealt with some adversity along the way,” said Stoehr. I look forward to seeing how they respond to being back in game action in the heat of the moment.” Armstead has career scoring average of 11.7 points per game, but finished the 2011-12 season with 14.2 scores and 8.5 rebounds a game. The senior has a chance at becoming only the seventh player to join the 1,000-point/700 rebound club.

COACHING HISTORY

Bernadett Balla averaged 6.5 points as a freshman in 2011-12, when she earned a Summit League All-Newcomer spot. That average dipped to 5.1 points per game last season, though Balla showed flashes of brilliance, including a 26-point effort against Arkansas and 17 points against Nebraska. Tysia Manuel suited up for one of the nation’s top junior college programs in her first two collegiate seasons, and she brings plenty of big-game experience to the ORU roster. Manuel averaged 8.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 2012-13, helping Butler CC win 26 games and advance to the NJCAA Region VI Semifinals. Freshmen Dorottya Balla and Noora Jaervikangas bring over 100 combined international appearances to the Golden Eagle roster, and both players have the size and shooting touch to create matchup nightmares on the wing or the low block. The 6-1 Balla, sister of Bernadett, played for her native land of Hungary at the 2010 U16 and 2012 U18 European Championships, and she earned regular minutes for PEAC-Pecs, one of Hungary’s top club teams, in 2012-13. Jaervikangas, at 6-0, represented Finland at the 2012 U18 European Championship, scoring a team-high 10.3 points per game. She was named the top youth player at Finnish club team Forssan Alku after helping them place 3rd in the 2012-13 Finnish Championship Series. Perhaps the biggest breakout star of the 2012-13 ORU season, Shelton is back for her final collegiate season and will lock down the center position. The SMU transfer fit perfectly into the Golden Eagle lineup after sitting out the 2011-12 season, earning an Honorable Mention AllSouthland Conference selection. Shelton averaged 8.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season, with an average of 10.8 points per game in Southland play, and she set a Golden Eagle program record by shooting 65.5 percent from the field. The 6-3 powerhouse is primed to dominate the low post as a senior after racking up five double-doubles in SLC play as a junior. ORU will play 11 postseason qualifiers from a season ago – including NCAA Tournament teams Kansas, Navy, Tulsa and Nebraska, and they will face off with six power conference clubs, including Arkansas, Missouri, Marquette and Northwestern. No doubt the new class of Golden Eagles will be battle-tested when Southland Conference play begins in January.

TEAM PREVIEWS

The 2013-14 campaign promises to be a season of change for the Oral Roberts University women’s basketball program, as second-year Head Coach Misti Cussen returns just three letter winners from last season’s Southland Conference Championship club and bids adieu to a senior class that accounted for 84 victories and more than 5,000 points during their four years as Golden Eagles. But a talented group of 11 newcomers has arrived in South Tulsa, bringing with them a wealth of international and previous collegiate experience. That group, combined with the returning core of Bernadett Balla, Christian Key and Sarah Shelton, has ORU confident that 2013-14 isn’t a typical rebuilding year. In fact, Cussen’s team is poised and ready to defend their Southland Conference Championship from a season ago. Teana Ogden and Kaylan Mayberry will each see minutes at the point guard position in 2013-14. Ogden was a twotime Region MVP at Billy Ryan HS, one of the finest prep programs in Texas. Mayberry, meanwhile, was named Tulsa World All-Metro Player of the Year. Freshman April Glisson, a Sapulpa High alum, could also see minutes at the point guard position. Key experienced a breakout season as a junior in 201213, more than doubling her scoring average to 7.4 points per game. The Tulsa native shot 47.5 percent from 3-point range, tops in the Southland Conference and an ORU program record for a single season, and she scored in double-figures on nine separate occasions. ORU will count on Key to start at shooting guard and raise the bar yet again. The arrival of Jenni Bryan has long been anticipated by the Golden Eagle faithful, and the Oklahoma State transfer will make her ORU debut in 2013-14 after redshirting last season. Bryan played in 57 career games for the Cowgirls and averaged 2.5 points per game. Bryan brings toughness and intensity to the ORU program, and she’s also a deft outside shooter who drained 34.3 percent of her 3-point attempts at OSU. Panola College transfer Atoe’ Jackson will also see plenty of minutes at the three spot. Jackson led Panola in scoring and rebounding as a sophomore, averaging 11.6 points and 6.6 boards per game. An inside-out threat with a polished offensive skill set, the elder Balla looks to shoulder an increased scoring load as she heads into her junior season. The Hungary native

TEAM PREVIEWS

On April 27, 2012, long-time assistant coach Misti Cussen was named the 10th head coach in the history of the Oral Roberts University women’s basketball program. Less than a year later, she has already led the Golden Eagles to glory. Cussen guided the Golden Eagles to the top of the Southland Conference in her first season in charge of the ORU program, as the team won both the regular season and tournament titles in their first campaign as league members. ORU was 18-13 in Cussen’s first season as head coach, with a 15-5 record against Southland Conference opponents. Under Cussen’s direction, Kevi Luper and Jaci Bigham earned All-Southland honors as seniors, while Luper was named MVP at the Southland Tournament. Cussen led the Golden Eagles through a brutal opening stretch in her first season as head coach. After playing a non-conference schedule that one publication ranked as the 13th-toughest in the nation, with road trips to nationally-ranked clubs from Baylor, Nebraska and DePaul, ORU was just 3-8 heading into the Southland Conference schedule. But Cussen didn’t let the Golden Eagles fold the tents after their rough start, leading the team to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008. Under Cussen’s watch, the Golden Eagles won eight of their last ten games, including a pair of Southland Tournament victories. Cussen’s first season as head coach was one of the most successful debut campaigns in ORU women’s basketball history. Her 18 victories were the most for an ORU rookie head coach since Dixie Woodall won 31 games in 1977-78. Cussen spent 16 seasons as the program’s top assistant coach, ranking as one of the nation’s longest-tenured assistants 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 both an assistant and the program’s head coach, Cussen has helped the Golden Eagles to 84 victories since 2009, the program’s best four-year stretch since 1976-80. As a player, Cussen began her collegiate career at the University of Kansas (1989-91) before transferring to Southern Nazarene to finish her final two years. Cussen joined the SNU 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.

SAM HOUSTON STATE BEARKATS SOU THLA ND HISTORY

SEASON OU TLOOK

Jasmine Johnson Thomas and guard Chanice Smith – all were seniors. Each of the three scored more than 1,000 career points for Sam Houston. The trio accounted for 39.7 of Sam Houston’s 62.9 points per game last year. Fortunately, some firepower returns for the Bearkats and Sam Houston signed several top newcomers. Topping the list of returning players are guard Jasmine Johnson and post player Angela Beadle. Beadle, a 6-3 junior, became only the fourth Sam Houston women’s basketball player to earn All-Southland Tournament honors in 2013. She tied her career scoring high with 19 points and pulled down nine rebounds in Sam Houston’s 67-61 semifinal victory over No. 3 seed Lamar. During the regular season, she averaged 16.9 minutes played in all 33 games, totaling 193 points and 175 rebounds. Johnson, a 5-7 senior guard, has scored 621 points in 91 games during her Sam Houston career. She started 32 games as junior last year, averaging 32.4 minutes per game and averaging 7.7 points and 3.4 assists per contest. Nyha Carter, a 5-10 junior forward, brings experience inside as well. She and Beadle alternated as starters last year. Carter averaged 12.5 minutes per contest in all 33 games. The three-year letter winner who has appeared in 87 games, totaling 151 career points and 209 rebounds Also returning are guards Jasmin Anderson, Sally Clavelle and Amanda Barnes and forwards Clarke Davis and Jazmin Wiley. Summer Fife, a 5-11 transfer from Western Kentucky, red-shirted last season and is ready to step in during the 2013-14 season. Four freshmen and a sophomore transfer join the squad as well. New to the Bearkat backcourt are 5-5 Morghen Day, 5-7 Taylor Dorsey, 5-6 Jasmine Robinson and 5-7 Kristina Smith. Sophomore Maggie Lorenz, a 5-11 forward from Williston State, also joins the Kats.

TEAM PREVIEWS

The 2013 Bearkats made history last year, earning the program its first Southland Conference women’s basketball championship in 26 years of competition at the NCAA Division I level. For head coach Brenda Nichols, who was recognized as Southland Conference “Coach of the Year” following the season, raising the league championship trophy with her players completed an amazing rebuilding task. Returning to her alma mater as head coach in August, 2006, Nichols took over a women’s basketball program that had made only one Southland post-season appearance between 2001 and 2006. Her first season at Sam Houston, the Kats won only two conference games. In 2008, the team went 1-27. But during those early years a strong and steady recruiting effort laid the foundation for record-setting seasons. Each of the past two years, Sam Houston’s women have totaled 18 victories, equaling the school mark for most wins in one season (along with the 1996 squad). The 53 victories by the Bearkat women during the past three seasons mark the most in any three-year period in Sam Houston’s 31-year history as an NCAA program. The Bearkats followed up their regular season championship by reaching the Southland Tournament finals for the first time. The No. 2 seed at the tournament ranked as SHSU’s highest Southland seeding ever. The Kats’ semi-final win over Lamar was the program’s first tournament win since 1996. Falling in a close game to Oral Roberts in the finals, Sam Houston earned its second NCAA post-season tournament berth in two seasons, playing in the WNIT against Tulane in New Orleans. In 2012, the Kats reached the quarterfinals of the WBI. Sam Houston also appeared in the preseason WNIT to start the 2012-13. Coach Nichols and her staff know that to continue this success in 2013-14, they must reload. The three All-Southland players who led Sam Houston to its title last year – forwards Britni Martin and Sequeena

TEAM PREVIEWS

Named as Sam Houston’s 10th women’s basketball head coach on August 23, 2006, Brenda Welch-Nichols has taken the program to new heights in her seven years with the program. The Bearkat women’s development has been amazing. In Nichols’ first season in 2007, the SHSU women won only two conference games. The team suffered through a 1-27 season in 2008. But during those early years a strong and steady recruiting effort laid the foundation for record-setting seasons. In 2013, Sam Houston earned its first Southland Conference regular season women’s basketball championship. The team followed up with its first post-season tournament finals appearance in the program’s 26 years in the league and an appearance in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. The WNIT and last year’s Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI) stand as Sam Houston’s first ever NCAA Division I women’s basketball national tournament appearances. Last year’s 18-14 overall record marks the program’s third consecutive winning season. Sam Houston has had only two other winning seasons (in 1988 and 1996) at the Division I level. The 18 wins both in 2012 and 2013 equaled the school mark for most victories in one year (tying the 1996 squad). The 53 victories during the past three seasons mark the most in a three-year period for Sam Houston’s 31-year history as an NCAA program. After taking the Bearkats from last place to first during the past seven years, Nichols earned Southland Conference “Coach of the Year” honors in 2013. Nichols was the leading scorer for the 18-9 Sam Houston squad in 1988, coming to Huntsville after two years as an NJCAA All-American at Western Texas Junior College. Her 17.8 career scoring average stands as the second highest mark in Bearkat women’s basketball history. Prior to returning to Huntsville as Sam Houston head coach, Nichols was head coach at Mercer University in Macon, Ga.; served as an assistant at South Alabama and Memphis and was head coach at Okaloosa-Walton Community College and Western Texas. Her first collegiate assistant coaching job came at Pensacola Junior College in Florida where Bob Marlin, who directed the Bearkat men’s basketball program to three conference titles between 1999 and 2010, was then coaching. Nichols, her assistants Jamene Caldwell and Leslie Reinecker and all the Bearkat student-athletes have become familiar faces around Huntsville due to their work in the community. The Kats participate in many community service activities including reading to elementary school children and giving talks to older kids about the importance of education and hard work. Nichols earned her Sam Houston degree in physical education in 1989 and her master’s at West Florida in 1992. The Jennings, La., native is married to Barry Nichols. The couple has two sons, Brady and and a daughter, Brelee.

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA LADY LIONS SOU THLA ND HISTORY

SEASON OU TLOOK

Symone Miller performer from day one. The wild card in the paint is Chey. She gives us more toughness in the paint and will likely play significant minutes as a true freshman.” The starting backcourt of juniors Elizabeth Styles and Symone Miller also return for the Lady Lions. Styles was third on the team with 9.3 points per game and was third in the Southland with 4.8 assists last season, while Miller chipped in 8.1 points per contest. Sophomore Erica Hernandez, as well as newcomers Annessa De La Cruz, Brandi Riddle, Aquashia Anderson and Dani Fielder should provide a versatile back court. “Liz and Symone are upperclassmen now, so we expect them to take the next step,” Jones commented. “Liz made a lot of strides last season and we want her to continue to play at a fast pace, but still make sound decisions. Symone has to come in with more of a scoring mentality. She has to be more aggressive offensively for us to succeed. “Aquashia transferred in mid year last season from Michigan and will join us after the fall semester,” Jones added. “She will have an immediate impact as a steady player with a high basketball IQ. Annessa has Division I experience after playing at American University as a freshman and both she and Brandi were both big-time scorers in good junior college leagues. Erica’s a great shooter who will help us space the floor. We are looking forward to seeing Dani develop this season. She’s a tremendous athlete.” Jones believes the Southland Conference race is as wide open as it has been in recent years. “This is going to be an intriguing year in the Southland,” Jones said. “So many of the top players from last season were seniors, so we are interested to see how we match up against the competition. We feel like we’ve made great strides from a talent and depth standpoint. We’re excited about the coming season and we are confident that we will be very competitive in league play.”

TEAM PREVIEWS

Featuring a solid returning nucleus and an array of talented newcomers, the Southeastern Louisiana women’s basketball team heads into the 2013-14 season with expectations to take a step forward in its quest to compete for a Southland Conference championship. Southeastern returns three starters and six letter winners from last season. Lady Lion head coach Lori Davis Jones believes the team has made the necessary additions and improvements to return to the Southland Conference Tournament after missing the postseason for the first time in five seasons in 2012-13. “We knew that we had to address issues on both sides of the ball,” Jones said. “We feel that with the additions we’ve made, as well as the maturation of our returners we are going to be able to score the ball more easily. We have added players with a scoring mentality. We plan on playing more up tempo to give our scorers more opportunity. “Our defensive integrity also had to improve and we feel like we’ve addressed that,” Jones added. “The main problem we had defensively last season was lack of depth. We feel we are much deeper, more experience team heading into the 2013-14 season.” Southeastern’s top returner is senior forward Aja Gibson, a preseason first team All-Southland Conference choice and the team’s top scorer in each of the past two seasons. Gibson, who averaged 10.9 points a season ago and was named to the All-Southland Conference third team, will once again be the team’s go-to player and team with sophomore Nanna Pool, as well as newcomers Adrina LaVern and Chey Stewart to give the Lady Lions a deep post corps. “Aja has been a steady performer for us throughout her career and we feel us moving to a more up-tempo style will allow her to be more productive,” Jones said. “We expect Nanna to step in as our other starting post. We need her to be more versatile offensively while also concentrating on becoming a better defender. Adrina will be a steady solid

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA LADY LIONS LORI DAVIS JONES Head Coach 12th Year Alma Mater Southeastern Louisiana, 1992 Record at SLU: 137-178 (11 seasons) Career Record: 315-275 (18 seasons)

TEAM PREVIEWS

Lori Davis Jones is entering her 12th 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, 200809). Under Jones, Southeastern has had 17 All-Southland Conference and 10 All-Louisiana selections. Seven different Lady Lions have earned Academic All-Southland Conference accolades during Jones’ time at the helm of the program. Jones’ squads have also been very active in the local community, participating in projects such as Habitat for Humanity and Relay for Life. Under Jones, the PRIDE (Positive Role Models in the Development of Excellence) group has been developed, as successful women from the local and campus community serve as mentors for the Lady Lion student-athletes. 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. 2005-06 saw Jones lead the Lady Lions to their first Southland Conference Tournament berth since 2001-02. The Lady Lions rolled off a six-game win streak during the season and picked up road wins at Louisiana-Monroe and Northwestern State for the first time in three decades. 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. Southeastern placed three players on the All-SLC team – Brenita Williams, Jazmin Cain and Tina Wilson – for the first time since the 200102 season. The Lady Lions were also outstanding in the classroom, as Williams, Cain and Brooke Necaise gave the Lady Lions a league-high three players on the Southalnd All-Academic team. In 2008-09, Southeastern enjoyed its best season of Jones’ tenure, winning their second division title in three years and finishing with a 1911 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. The 200809 Lady Lions featured All-Southland performers Carlin and Charinee Mitchell, both who were also named to the Academic All-Southland teams. Southeastern also connected on a school and conference record 220 three-pointers in 2008-09. She earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology from Southeastern in 1992 and a master’s degree in Education from Memphis in 1995.

SFA returns all five starters from a season ago, with two additional players with starting experience. The Ladyjacks return nine letterwinners in all and welcome five newcomers from both the high school and junior college ranks.

The Waco, Texas, native, led the team in scoring (449), field goal percentage (.573), rebounds (231), blocks (47) and second in minutes played (881). In all, Roberts recorded nine double-doubles and 25 double-digit scoring performances. Antionette Carter appeared in all 31 games, making 14 starts, in her first season with the Ladyjacks. After coming to SFA from Murray State College, Carter recorded eight double-figure scoring performances, while playing in 577 minutes as a junior.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LADYJACKS BR A NDON SCHNEIDER Head Coach Fourth Year Alma Mater Wayland Baptist, 1995 Record at SFA: 49-45 (three seasons) Career Record: 355-117 (15 seasons)

TEAM PREVIEWS

Entering his fourth season at the helm of the Stephen F. Austin women’s basketball program, Brandon Schneider and the Ladyjacks are coming off of a 14-17 campaign that culminated with SFA making the Southland Conference Tournament for a 26th consecutive season and third season under Schneider’s watch. The 2012-13 squad reached the Southland Tournament as a No. 7 seed, after posting an 8-10 record in the league play, highlighted by Porsha Roberts being named second-team all-conference. In just his second season at SFA, Schneider guided the 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. Schneider also oversaw the development of the 2011-12 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year, Porsha Roberts, and Newcomer of the Year, Ashlee Mells. 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 also oversaw the development of senior guard Tammara Marion, who was named to the All-Southland Conference second team and led the Ladyjacks and was fourth in the league averaging 16 points per game for the season along with 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists. She also set the single-season record with 72 made three-point shots. The now four-year head coach entered his second year with high expectations after assembling a signing class that’s ranked 35th in the nation according to Premier Basketball Report, of which includes four McDonald’s All-American Nominees. 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 was a 1995 honors graduate of Wayland Baptist. During his time at Wayland, Schneider was a four-year letterman in men’s basketball and was the school’s first-ever academic All-American, capturing the honor three times.

COACHING HISTORY Coach Sheryl Estes Jodi Kest Robert Robinson Royce Chadwick

Taryn Gregory had experience at the college level. Reuniting with coach Chadwick are Jasmine Shaw and Shay Weaver, who come to the Island University after playing for Chadwick at Marshall. Shaw will look to make an immediate impact after averaging six points a game with the Thundering Herd, while Weaver will sit out this season because of NCAA rules. Alissa Campanero and Shola Adebayo also come to A&M – Corpus Christi with collegiate experience. Campanero will look to get the ball in the hands of shooters as she dished out 4.9 assists per game last season with Odessa College. Adebayo played at Eastern Oklahoma State Community College and averaged 16 points and seven rebounds per game, while securing 12 double-doubles, picking up First Team All-Conference, First Team All-Region and Third Team NJCAA All-American honors. Freshmen Kassie Jones, Brittany Mbamalu and Rau Jua’ Terry round out the host of newcomers playing in the backcourt for the Islanders this season. The frontcourt will feature two returners for the Islanders, as Ashanti Plummer and Huff will both look to have a strong season. As a freshman, Plummer started in 22 of the team’s 29 games. She also ranked second on the team in rebounds and first in blocks per game. Huff had a significant impact last year, averaging 6.4 points per game, ranking her fourth on the team in this category. The only newcomer in the frontcourt coming to the Island University from another school is junior Lexy Harris who averaged 12.8 points per game, 10.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game at Angelina Community College. Also joining the team in the frontcourt are freshmen Camesha Davis and Doshi Davis. The Islanders will tip off their 2013-14 schedule at home on Nov. 8 against Western Illinois, while their first Southland Conference game will be on the road against Central Arkansas on Jan. 2.

TEAM PREVIEWS

Year two of the Royce Chadwick era will commence in a big way for the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women’s basketball team, as the Islanders will host a tournament in the Coastal Bend to kickoff the 2013-14 season. The rest of the season will also give Islanders fans plenty of opportunity to see the team in action. “We are very much looking forward to the season,” Chadwick said. “Our schedule allows us the opportunity to open at home in the Emerald Beach Islanders Classic and close at home with three-straight games in March. We have 15 total chances for our fans to be there to watch the Islanders play. With a ton of new talent, the enthusiasm and anticipation from our team is tremendous.” The Islanders will also have a tough nonconference away schedule that features a trip to Nashville for two games to take on Tennessee State and Belmont. A&M – Corpus Christi will also hit the road for games against Texas State and UT Arlington. After a disappointing season last year with a 4-25 finish, the Islanders are excited about the makeup of this year’s new look lineup. Although the team lost eight letterwinners from last season and only return four, it features the Southland’s top-ranked recruiting class. However, the team will have to make up for its departure of its leading scorer, Jessica Jammer, and assists leader, Verne’Qua Taylor. The Islanders will do this with a combination of youth and experience. Even with the loss of so many players, three out of the four returners were starters from last season, and the fourth, Brandi Huff, played a key role off the bench averaging 20.4 minutes per game. The 10 newcomers to the squad will also have a strong impact this season. Leading the team in the backcourt will be senior Ashley Darley, who was the second-leading scorer from last season, averaging almost eight points a game. The other senior in the backcourt will be Taryn Gregory, who started in 20 games and was third on the team in assists last year. There will be seven new faces in the backcourt for the Islanders, however, four of these newcomers have

TEXAS A&M-CORPUS CHRISTI ISLANDERS ROYCE CH A DW ICK Head Coach Second Year Alma Mater Alabama, 1986 Record at AMCC: 4-25 (second season) Career Record: 565-327 (29 seasons)

TEAM PREVIEWS

Royce Chadwick enters his second season at the helm of the Islanders women’s basketball program. He comes into this season with the top-ranked recruiting class in the Southland Conference. Chadwick was named the fourth head women’s basketball coach in Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi history last year and accumulated a 4-25 record his first year. Chadwick spent the previous 11 years as the head coach at Marshall University. 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. From his third year at Marshall on, he won at least 14 games every season with the exception of one, when his team was decimated by injuries. He also played a major role in the upswing of attendance at Marshall games. He saw a school-record 7,017 fans come through the turnstiles for a matchup with SEC foe Kentucky in 2004, marking the fourth consecutive season the Herd had the highest-attended game in the conference. In his first season at Marshall, the team saw a 251 percent increase in attendance. 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. He went 4-7 in NCAA Tournament games, with five of those losses coming to top-four seeds and all of them to teams seeded eighth or better. In his time in Nacogdoches he won the conference tournament six times and compiled a 128-14 (.901) mark in league play. His teams won five Southland regular-season championships. Prior his time with Stephen F. Austin, Chadwick spent five seasons at Howard, posting a record of 148-21, won four Western Conference titles, advanced to the NJCAA Tournament twice and was named National Coach of the Year in 1992. A multifaceted talent, Chadwick also served as Howard’s athletic director. His first collegiate head coaching assignment was at Panhandle (Okla.) State, where he led his Aggie teams to 19 and 20 wins, respectively, in his two years there. At Sam Houston State, his next stop, he guided a school that had never posted a winning season to an 18-9 mark during the 1987-88 campaign, just one year removed from a 9-18 season. In 1983, Chadwick broke into the coaching ranks at Olton High School in Texas, where he led the Mustangs to a record of 21-5 and their first district championship in nine years. 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.
