2018 2016 outlook Before the 2017 season, Sean Kiracofe said his Northwestern State volleyball program was on a two-year program. The 2018 season is the second of that two-year stretch, and it seems the Lady Demons are ready to finish what they started a season ago. “The expectations are there,” said Kiracofe, who enters his fourth season at the helm of the NSU program. “We had goals and expectations last year, and outside of getting to the later rounds of the (conference) tournament, we accomplished all of them. With the group of seniors we have and returning all of our starters, they know this is a year we have to make things happen.” There is plenty of talent and numbers returning for Northwestern State, which lost only one player from its 2017 roster. The Lady Demons’ depth is the best it has been since Kiracofe took over prior to the 2015 season. “Every year, the play in the gym in practice has improved, which says a lot about the development of the players and how we’ve been able to recruit,” Kiracofe said. “Now the level of play does not drop because you can plug and play people who do things a little differently and a little bit better in a different way.” Outside Hitters/Right Side (5) Victoria Harris, 6-0, Sr.-2L Reagan Rogers, 6-0, Sr.-3L Alexis Warren, 5-10, Jr.-2L Hannah Brister, 6-0, So.-1L Darria Williams, 5-11, So.-1L Versatility is a buzzword for the Northwestern State roster and perhaps no position shows that more than the hitters. Rogers’ breakout junior season was evident in her offensive numbers that led to first-team All-Louisiana and All-Southland Conference honors. However, Kiracofe came away equally impressed with the strides the Blanco, Texas, native made in her all-around game. “She got to a point at the end of the year where every opponent was trying to attack her in serve receive to take her out of her game,” he said. “She was passing well enough to where they stopped doing it. That’s a huge compliment, because that is not necessarily the best part of her game. She made it to where she made everyone move away from her because she was passing so well.” Coming off a season in which she hammered down 427 kills -- the second-highest total in school-single season history, Rogers is joined by Warren on the outside. Through two seasons, Warren has han-

dled the roles of offensive leader and all-around contributor. Entering her third season, she may be poised to mirror Rogers’ jump in production between Years 2 and 3. “In her L2 position, with the growth of Hannah (Brister) on the right side, and our middles, it’s going to open up a lot of things for Lex,” Kiracofe said. “She came out and had a fantastic freshman year, and people started to focus on her a bit. I’ve said this forever, we asked a little bit too much of Lex (as a freshman). For the most part, she responded well. It wears on you some, but I think with the comfort level and the improvement of positions around her, she’s going to produce offensively and continue to pass well and solidify our ball control.” Brister leads a pair of versatile hitters who can play either on the outside or the right side, joining Victoria Harris. The reigning Southland Conference Freshman of the Year, Brister moved to the right side early in the 2017 season and found a groove as the season progressed. “Hannah has continued to improve and get more comfortable on the right side while still being able to improve on the outside,” Kiracofe said. “Vic has been fantastic no matter where we put her. We know we can get offensive production out of her either on the right side or on the outside. It really helps us to make some changes if needed or just to provide a different look.” Like Brister, Williams made strides in her first full collegiate offense with Kiracofe going to far as to call her “a great surprise” during fall camp. Middle Blockers (5) Madeline Drake, 6-1, Sr.-3L Kourtney Seaton, 6-2, Jr.-2L Brooke Wood, 6-2, So.-1L Aiyana Bean, 5-11, So.-1L Reagan Lee, 6-2, Fr.-HS Kiracofe’s specialty as an assistant was working with middle blockers, and his touch has proven to be just as strong as a head coach. Drake enjoyed a similar jump in production to that of classmate Rogers, doing so on the defensive side. The Oklahoman collected 101 block assists, the third-highest single-season total in school history. “She had a big improvement from her sophomore to junior year, and we expect even more from her in her senior year,” Kiracofe said. “She is very drive and ready for that.” Drake also proved to be a consistent offensive weapon who saved some of her biggest moments for the most important times, such as her back-to-back kills to clinch a 3-1 win against Sam Houston State that ended the Bearkats’ unbeaten run in conference play. Wood made similar strides after a redshirt season, pushing her way into the starting lineup in the final three weeks of the season. Her emergence, along with a healthy Kourtney Seaton, gives the Lady Demons the most quality depth at the position in Kiracofe’s four seasons. “My first year, with Glynna Johnson, you can’t replace somebody like that, but we are going to have a lot more depth and experience at middle than we have had,” he said. “It’s a position we can depend on no matter who’s on the front row. Brooke Wood has really improved this fall camp. Kourtney is feeling healthier than she has since last year. Practices

2018 outlook have been really competitive in the middle.” That effect has trickled down to Bean and Lee, who both have shown flashes of athleticism and talent. “Aiyana toward the end of the season last year and, specifically, toward the end of spring had some great runs of two weeks or so where she was making herself known on the court,” Kiracofe said. “Even within a short two weeks, (Lee) has been able to do some things on the court that have caught everyone’s attention. Being able to learn behind Madeline, Brooke, Kourtney and Aiyana, you can tell it’s starting to click.”

Megan Lohmiller

Libero/Defensive Specialists (4) Channing Burleson, 5-8, Sr.-3L Megan Lohmiller, 5-8, Jr.-2L Emily Ornelas, 5-7, So.-1L Bryce Potter, 5-3, Fr.-HS Burleson’s second straight season of 570-plus digs earned her SLC Libero of the Year honors and continued to set a high bar for comparisons and allowed the Lady Demons to remain a defense- and ball-control-focused team. In two seasons as a libero, Burleson has collected the Nos. 3 and 4 single-season dig totals in school history. Burleson ended the 2017 season with the 78th-most digs among active Division I players (1,386). She likely will begin the 2018 season in the top 20 in that category. The pairing of Burleson and Lohmiller have made the NSU backline one of the strongest in the Southland Conference. In their two seasons as college teammates, the Texas prep products have combined for 1,733 digs. “(Burleson) is just solid and plays at a really high level all the time, and Megan really complements her,” Kiracofe said. “We’ve added some players who will be able to continue that tradition for years to come. Last year, I really felt like it was Channing, Megan and Kylie (Spencer) who allowed us to play defense and pass at such a high level that, as soon as our offense would catch up with them, we would do some really good things.” The combination of Burleson and Lohmiller should allow Ornelas to continue to grow and for Potter to adjust to the collegiate game. “Emily’s learned a lot and continues to get better,” Kiracofe said. “Bryce is a great athlete. We can throw her out there and she is going to run down and touch a lot of balls. With both of them -- and anyone who is younger -- it’s a matter of catching up to the speed of the game in serve receive and other things on defense.” Setter (2) Kathryn Wristen, 5-9, Sr.-3L Cayman Sutton, 5-8, Jr.-TR Charli Fouts, 5-8, So.-1L Skylar Besch, 5-8, Fr.-HS In her first season as a starter, Wristen delivered 1,172 assists, the fourth-highest total in school single-season history. As is the case throughout the roster, however, NSU finds itself in a much better position from a depth standpoint. Sutton comes in after a two-year career at junior-college power Panola, helping the Fillies to a pair of national tournament runs. Fouts #EarnIt

could see time at a variety of positions, including setter. Besch, a left-handed freshman, gives Kiracofe the option of a different look who has offensive potential. “Kat’s been good and consistent,” Kiracofe said. “She keeps things rolling with our starting group. Cayman has come in and, after battling some injury issues in the spring, has been a great surprise in the fall. We finally got to see her at 100 percent.” While she is listed as a setter, Fouts proved in her freshman season she can be a weapon deployed in various spots. “Charli is a Swiss Army knife utility player,” Kiracofe said. “She can do everything for us. She came in and won a match for us setting. She was really offensive at the net. She does a lot of different things. She’s just a great volleyball player. No matter what happens, we feel we can put Charli in the game and she’ll do good things for us.” Besch, a Lake Travis (Texas) High School product, acquitted herself well during her first fall camp. “That’s always an eye-opening experience when you’re running a new offense,” Kiracofe said. “It’s hard to catch up. She’s been able to provide a ton of offense at the net, being a lefty setter. Once we get out there and said, ‘OK, let’s just play,’ she’s shown us some great things.”

SEAN KIRACOFE HEAD COACH Fourth Season at Northwestern State Texas Tech, 1999 Steady progress has defined the first three seasons of the Sean Kiracofe era of Northwestern State volleyball. As he prepares to enter his fourth season at the helm of the Lady Demons program, Kiracofe has seen NSU’s victory total more than double since his debut season. In 2017, the Lady Demons posted double-figure conference victories for just the fourth time in program history while producing the Southland Conference Libero of the Year (Channing Burleson) and first-team all-conference selection Reagan Rogers. With the Southland Conference Tournament returning to Prather Coliseum in November, Kiracofe hopes to have Northwestern State in position to repeat the 2014 team’s perfect run through the tournament, which marked the first time the event had been played in Natchitoches. Along with Burleson and Rogers earning All-Southland and All-Louisiana acclaim during their junior seasons, Kiracofe shepherded fellow junior Madeline Drake to one of the strongest defensive performances by a middle blocker in school history. Drake’s 101 block assists rank third in school single-season history and put her within striking distance of a top-three career finish in block assists. In 2016, the Lady Demons increased their win total by five from Kiracofe’s first season and returning to the Southland Conference Tournament after a one-year absence. Kiracofe’s squad did so by relying on underclassmen such as Burleson, who tallied the third-highest single-season dig total in program history (572) and freshman middle blocker Kourtney Seaton, whose 89 block assists were the most by a freshman in school history and the third-highest single-season total in school history. In his first season at NSU, Kiracofe helped mold middle blocker Glynna Johnson into a first-team All-Louisiana selection. Kiracofe’s aggressive mentality paid off as the Lady Demons ranked 11th nationally in aces per set (1.69). Individually, Natalie Jaeger finished the season sixth nationally in aces per set (0.50). Kiracofe came to Northwestern State armed with a reputation of being a technician, a developer of talent and an architect of successful programs. Kiracofe became the 14th head coach in NSU program history on April 7, 2015, after his second stint as an assistant at SMU. Kiracofe brought a decorated resume to the position, having coached at SMU, UNLV, Montana State and UTEP in a career that has spanned more than a decade. “Everyone involved in the interview process was impressed with Sean’s ability to genuinely communicate his vision for a volleyball program that has reached unprecedented heights over the past four to five years,” NSU Director of Athletics Greg Burke said. “He has the volleyball playing and coaching background, recruiting contacts and personal characteristics to sustain, and even build upon, that level of success.” Kiracofe spent his last four-year stint at SMU primarily developing middle blockers and coordinating the team’s blocking strategy and efforts. The results of Kiracofe’s expertise were clear. In 2011, his first season after returning to SMU, Kiracofe tutored Courtney Manning, the NCAA’s leader in blocks (184). Kiracofe produced the top blocking team in the American Athletic Conference in 2014 and the 2011 Conference USA leaders in that category. The 2011 Mustangs ranked 11th nationally in team blocking.

Well into its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions and approximately 4,200 student-athletes. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three 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 the 21st Century. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: 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 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.

Dr. Chris Maggio

Northwestern State President Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s second-year president was an all-sports athlete in high school, a college distance runner at NSU, and a high school football, basketball and track coach. He became a college coach in track and field for the Demons and Lady Demons. He even spent a few years as a high school basketball referee. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fundraiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff members and students combines with his warmth and sincerity to produce a tremendously effective university administrator. Those traits, along with U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N Dr. Maggio’s deep roots and President: far-reaching relationships, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dr. Darlene Williams moved up to run the University of Louisiana System, which includes Northwestern and eight other state universities. Maggio, 54, is a lifelong resident of Natchitoches and long-time faculty and staff member at Northwestern State. He is the university’s 19th president since its founding in 1884, and the first one who is homegrown, along with the first to be a four-year athletic letterwinner as a Demon competitor. Maggio was named vice president for the student experience at Northwestern State in September 2016 after serving as interim vice president for just over a year. He maintained his role as vice president for the student experience while serving as acting president. When the NSU Student Services building opened in 2012, designers had a lovely office location for Maggio on the second floor. He asked instead for the room just inside the front door to the building, not connected to any administrative wing, but envisioned as a conference space. His reasoning: Maggio wanted to see everybody who walked in the door, and providing the ability to immediately engage them or at least be easily accessible for anyone who needed help. As vice president, Maggio led the Dean of Students and the Offices of Admissions, Recruiting, Financial Aid, Student Activities and Organizations, First Year Experience and Leadership Development, Judicial Services, Counseling and Career Services, Student Life, the Student Activities Board, Student Government Association, Student Support Services, and Greek Life. Northwestern State has recorded enrollment increases for the past three years, with record numbers in 2017-18, peaked by 10,578 in the fall 2017 semester. Projected fall 2018 enrollment is over 11,000. Maggio served as assistant vice president of external affairs for university advancement from 2013 until 2015, when he was promoted by Dr. Henderson. He has been a staff member at Northwestern State since 1988, when he joined the track and field coaching staff. After several years as director of admissions and recruiting during record-setting enrollment for NSU, Maggio was selected as director of alumni affairs in 1999, director of alumni and development in 2003, executive director of the NSU Foundation in 2005

30

and Dean of Students and assistant provost for student success in 2007. During his career at NSU, Maggio also served as director of enrollment services. Under Maggio’s leadership, the NSU Foundation completed its first capital campaign in Northwestern’s history, exceeding a campaign goal of $18.84 million and raising $31 million to support the university. He has also been a faculty member in the Department of Health and Human Performance for more than 20 years as an instructor, assistant professor and associate professor. Maggio came on board the NSU staff in 1988 as assistant track and field coach, then became head women’s coach a year later. After a very successful five years in that capacity, in 1994 Maggio moved into administration as the fundraiser for NSU Athletics before quickly being snapped up to become the university’s director of admissions and recruiting. Maggio is a 1985 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern State. He won Gulf Star Conference All-Academic honors in track and field and helped the Demons win the 1985 GSC championship. As a senior, he was elected Mr. NSU by his fellow students. Maggio earned his master’s of education at NSU. He received a doctorate in developmental education from Grambling State University. His parents helped run a family business in Natchitoches. His father, Buddy, was honored as a “Natchitoches Treasure” in 2015 by the City of Natchitoches. As a young boy, Maggio became playmates with future Basketball Hall of Fame member Joe Dumars, whose home was near one of the Maggio’s stores. Dr. Maggio’s wife, Jennifer, was formerly on the NSU staff as Coordinator of Adult Education Initiatives. They have three children, Melanie, Scott, and Emily. Emily is a high school student at St. Mary’s Catholic School of Natchitoches, while her older siblings attend colleges outside of Natchitoches.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 53rd year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 28th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. At NSU’s 2018 Homecoming celebration Oct. 27, Pierce will be honored at the N-Club Hall of Fame ceremony, becoming only the second person to receive the “Leadership Award” from the organization of former Northwestern athletic letterwinners. Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and NSU Athletic Council one national championship. Jody Biscoe (Chair) Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already Angela Bolton Steven Boyd served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In Nick Forde (Student-Athlete) his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, Kimberly Gallow alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Frank Hall Dr. Chris Maggio in governmental affairs activities.

After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Begona Perez-Mira went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Alexis Smith Ex-Officio Members and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Greg Burke In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dustin Eubanks to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau diRoxanne Freeman rector two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, Dr. Chris Maggio alumni affairs and other areas through the years.

He estabJerry Pierce lished annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five decades Dr. Haley Taitano later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate nearly three decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of ceremonies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 61 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College, 1978-85; administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96; director of athletics, Northwestern State, 1996-present. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

Entering his 23rd year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke is highly regarded far past the 318 area code due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan and avid fan of all Cleveland pro sports teams, has been the Demons’ athletics director since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/ Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution, and is believed to be the longest-serving AD in state history. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship-caliber teams in a dozen of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two decades as athletic director include 42 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 68 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-six NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or other postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone over $8 million in improvements in the past few years, including the following - $1 million of enhancements to Turpin Stadium’s video board and sound system due before the 2017 home opener; a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; a $500,000 softball grandstand project; and a $600,000 upgrade of chairback seating at Turpin Stadium for the 2016 football season. Plans for a track and field locker room, women’s tennis locker room, strength and conditioning annex to the Athletic Fieldhouse and a baseball operations building are all on the drawing board. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2017-18. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” has generated an influx of outright and deferred gifts that have the athletic scholarship endowment teetering at the $2 million mark. In addition, overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships cracked $2 million for the second straight year. Competitively, milestones continue. One of the biggest under Burke: NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Anchors of the department are current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; softball coach Donald Pickett, and track and field coach Mike Heimerman, a trio with nearly 50 combined years on staff at NSU. Three former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure have become NSU head coaches, including second-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier, who just led NSU to its first Southland Conference baseball tournament title in just his second year. Numerous Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Former baseball coach John Cohen is beginning his first full year as AD at Mississippi State. Over 100 more former NSU student-athletes, coaches and support staff members, most of them here with Burke as AD or assistant AD (1986-92), are working in college athletics at some level. Former Demons are head coaches in the SEC, Big XII, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, Ohio Valley, SWAC, Big XII, Big Sky, Sun Belt, Atlantic Coast and Southland Conferences. Five others hold Associate AD positions in the SEC, PAC 12, Big East and American Athletic conferences. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Wisconsin-Whitewater), Jason Horn (Xavier-NO) and Adam Jonson (LSU Alexandria) are now athletics directors, while Kurt Gulbrand is senior associate AD for development at Tennessee and Jodie Libadisos is associate AD for student-athlete enhancement at South Florida. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. Tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance.
