2015-16 PREVIEW In each of the last two seasons, the Northwestern State women’s basketball team has played its best basketball at precisely the right time. The results have been historic - two straight Southland Conference Tournament championships and the first set of back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in program history. As co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr enter their fourth season at the helm of the NSU program, the challenge will be extending that run of late-season success to the majority of the regular season. “We have certain goals and expectations within the program that are stressed on a daily basis,” Brooke Stoehr said. “Our players have expectations of themselves and have worked hard to improve their games individually in the offseason. This group knows we are starting from scratch this season and will have to prove what level of play this team is capable of achieving. Our players know we expect to compete at a championship level every day on the court, in the classroom and in the community.” Fortunately for the Stoehrs, they have a roster full of veterans who have been key parts of both NCAA Tournament appearances. No part of the NSU roster is more experienced than the backcourt. Three-year starters Janelle Perez and Keisha Lee both surpassed the 1,000-point career mark this past season. Perez has started all 98 games since she arrived on campus three years ago, 91 of which have come alongside Lee, a fifth-year senior. Perez, a preseason first-team All-Southland Conference selection, enjoyed a stellar junior season in which she scored 513 points, leaving her just outside the NSU top 10 for singleseason scoring. Lee has proven to be a consistent scoring threat

in her first three seasons in an NSU uniform. As a junior, the Denham Springs native proved she could be an effective distributor as well. Should they produce what has been an average scoring season for them, both Perez and Lee would end their careers among the top 10 scorers in Northwestern State women’s basketball history. A late-season surge that included a run of six double-figure scoring performances in seven games gave junior guard Beatrice Attura a shot of confidence and NSU a third proven scorer alongside Perez and Lee. Attura earned Southland Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player honors, averaging 16.5 points per game across NSU’s four-winsin-four-days run to the title. “There is a level of comfort anytime you have an experienced perimeter group that has played the amount of minutes that Keisha, Janelle and Beatrice have played for us,” Stoehr said. “They know the daily expectations of our program and how we want to compete. They have shown great leadership in terms of exhibiting their work ethic for the younger players to see. “Bea worked extremely hard last summer to prepare herself for the season. She had some really good moments throughout the season, and we knew she was capable of putting up some big numbers. She showed a great deal of consistency during the last couple of weeks leading into the tournament. It’s always good to see a player go work really hard on specific skills in the offseason and then see them have great success in critical moments as a result of that offseason work.” The Attura-Lee-Perez trio is complemented by the return of sophomore Sami Thomas, who saw action in 28 games as an understudy to Perez and Lee last season. Thomas flashed the ability to score quickly as a freshman, connecting for seven quick points in a January win against McNeese State, and gained valuable experience as Perez’ understudy. Thomas’ classmate, forward Tia Youngblood, drew 22 starts in 2014-15, the most among NSU’s freshman class. Youngblood will anchor a front court that must replace two-year starters Presley Owens and Chelsea Rogers. Youngblood made serious strides during the Southland Junior guard Beatrice Attura was named the Conference Tournament and 2015 Southland Conference Tournament MVP. Northwestern State’s NCAA

Tournament matchup with Baylor. “Tia really came on strong for us during conference play and especially in the conference tournament,” Stoehr said. “She’s playing with a lot of confidence now. Sami’s the same way. She had a couple of big moments in all four of our tournament games in Katy. That game experience where they had success provides them with confidence.” The core of Northwestern State’s recruiting efforts focused on the front cout, especially in the post. NSU’s recruiting class included 6-foot-2 Cheyenne Brown, 6-1 Libba Gilliam, 6-1 Gabby Jackson and 5-11 Emerald Mayfield, giving the Stoehrs plenty of options across the front line. “I really like the size and personality of our newcomers,” Stoehr said. “They add a dimension for us in terms of post depth and size on the perimeter. They have been eager to learn and have worked hard during our time with them. I’m anxious to see their growth throughout the season and think they could make a difference for us on the interior.” Northwestern State added depth in the backcourt in its recruiting class as well. Junior Shahd Abboud (Jacksonville College) and Brynae Thompson (Cy-Fair High School) have the ability to replace Rogers’ 3-point shooting ability. Rogers connected on 59 3-pointers in each of her two seasons with Northwestern Sate, which ranked her 10th in single-season school history. While Owens has completed her eligibility, she joined the NSU coaching staff along with new assistant coach Lindsey Hicks, a former Purdue standout who came to NSU after two years on Alabama’s coaching staff. “I’m thrilled about the makeup of our staff,” Stoehr said. “This staff had the right mentality to work and help our student athletes succeed. Lindsey has a great deal of experience from playing at high level both collegiately and professionally. She has a really good rapport with our players and has been working hard to help develop some of our young post players. Having a former player, in Presley, on staff makes such a difference for us. She knows exactly what we expect on a daily basis and how hard we have to compete each day in order to play at a championship level.” As has been customary during the Stoehrs’ tenure, Northwestern State faces a challenging non-conference schedule that includes visits to Big 12 Conference members Texas (Nov. 18) and Baylor (Dec. 4). NSU’s non-conference slate also includes a visit to American Athletic Conference member SMU (Nov. 15) and a trip to New Mexico State for the Aggie Thanksgiving Classic (Nov. 27-28) where NSU faces the host school and Long Beach State. Forward Tia Youngblood drew 22 starts, the most among NSU freshmen in the 2014-15 season.

Family • Passion Brooke Stoehr Co-Head Coach Fourth Year at Northwestern State Louisiana Tech, 2002

In Brooke Stoehr’s mind, on- and off-court success are intertwined – it is hard to have one without the other. With that as a basis, Stoehr has engineered a turnaround that restored the shine to one of the Southland Conference’s premier women’s basketball programs, returning it to a position of prominence within the league. Upon inheriting a six-win team in her first season alongside husband and co-head coach, Scott Stoehr, Brooke Stoehr implemented her four core values of family, passion, service and accountability as a basis for the Northwestern State program. The results were quick and quantifiable. Northwestern State doubled its win total in Stoehr’s first season on the bench, qualifying for the Southland Conference Tournament one season after winning just two conference games. In her second season, Stoehr’s squad rode a seven-game win streak in late February and early March to Northwestern State’s first Southland Conference Tournament championship and first 20-win season in 10 years. A year later, Stoehr cemented her reputation for having her team playing its best basketball at the right time as sixth-seeded Northwestern State repeated as SLC Tournament champions, giving NSU 40 wins in the last two seasons. Along with the on-court success has come a spate of awards and a record-setting performance in the classroom. Individually, Stoehr has developed three-year starting point guard Janelle Perez from a player who had no other Division I scholarship offers into a 1,000-point career scorer, the 2012-13 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and a 2014-15 firstteam All-Southland Conference selection. During Stoehr’s tenure, she has also guided Keisha Lee on a path that led the shooting guard to become the 25th player in program history to score 1,000 points. The maturation of shooting guard Beatrice Attura into the Southland Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player only served to underscore further Stoehr’s ability to develop quality guard play, something that marked her playing career at Louisiana Tech. Stoehr’s tutelage doesn’t stop in the backcourt. Under her guidance, Trudy Armstead became just the seventh player in school history to record at least 1,000 career points and grab at least 700 career rebounds. Armstead also earned 2014 Southland Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player honors before signing to play professionally in Romania. From the classroom to the court, Stoehr has overseen a program that has grown by leaps and bounds. In addition to reaching the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons, the Northwestern State women’s basketball program finished the 2014-15 season with a 3.461 grade-point average, the 16th-highest mark in the nation and fifth among teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament. Every one of Stoehr’s players who has finished her eligibility also has earned her college degree. Before arriving in Natchitoches, Stoehr spent three years as an assistant coach at Texas Tech and helped guide the Lady Raiders to an NCAA and two National Women’s Invitational tournaments. Prior to Texas Tech, she spent a season on the staff at Southern Mississippi and three years on the staff at her alma mater, Louisiana Tech, following a stay at Arkansas-Little Rock. The 35-year old was a standout player at Hamburg (Ark.) High School and played collegiately at Louisiana Tech from 1998-2002 where she served as a two-year captain and starting point guard as a junior and senior, while leading the Lady Techsters to an impressive 119-16 mark under legendary coach Leon Barmore. She was instrumental

in leading Louisiana Tech to four NCAA Championship appearances, including the Final Four in 1999 and two more Elite Eight appearances. During her playing days, Louisiana Tech won four regular-season conference titles and conference tournament crowns, while only losing one conference game. The 2001 All-Sun Belt Conference selection ended her career ranked as the NCAA Division I all-time career free throw percentage leader at 91.5 percent, hitting 268 of 292 attempts. As a senior, Stoehr was named an NCAA post-graduate scholarship finalist, WAC All-Academic, NCAA Woman of the Year nominee, Verizon Academic All-District VI and National Strength and Conditioning Association All-American. In high school, she was named to the Parade All-American team and was the Arkansas and Southwest Region Gatorade Player of the Year. At Southern Mississippi, Brooke worked primarily with the perimeter players. Her responsibilities also included recruiting, scouting opponents, film breakdown and assisting with all aspects of the Lady Eagles basketball camps. Prior to her stint at Southern Miss, she spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech, where her primary duties included serving as the academic counselor, recruiting with an emphasis in Arkansas and Louisiana, scouting reports, guard development, summer camps and overseeing the Lady Techsters weight and conditioning program. While at Louisiana Tech, Stoehr was instrumental in the development of the guards, which included three All-Western Athletic Conference selections and a WAC Player of the Year. She also helped Louisiana Tech claim back-to-back WAC regularseason titles as well as the program’s 25th straight NCAA Championship appearance. She graduated from Tech in 2002 with a degree in business administration and obtained her master’s degree in sports administration from Florida State in 2004. Brooke spent her first two years as a full-time coach at Arkansas-Little Rock where she assisted with coaching guards, helped with recruiting, supervised preseason individual conditioning workouts and aided in summer basketball camps. She also served as a graduate assistant at Florida State prior to her job at UALR.

Family • Passion Scott Stoehr Co-Head Coach Fourth Year at Northwestern State Nebraska Wesleyan, 1997

In three seasons at Northwestern State, co-head coach Scott Stoehr has played an integral role in re-establishing a culture of accomplishment within NSU women’s basketball alongside his wife and co-head coach Brooke Stoehr. On top of consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, Stoehr has helped develop three 1,000-point scorers, the 2012-13 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year (Janelle Perez), two first-team All-Louisiana selections and a first-team All-Southland Conference honoree. Equally as important, every player who has completed her eligibility at Northwestern State under Stoehr has earned her degree from Northwestern State. Stoehr, who received his degree in biology from Nebraska Wesleyan in 1997 and his master’s degree in kinesiology from North Texas in 1999, began his coaching career at Nebraska Wesleyan University and followed that with stints at North Texas, Florida State, Arkansas-Little Rock and Louisiana Tech. In his first position as a Division I coach, Stoehr helped guide North Texas to its most successful time in school history, including three conference division championships, two postseason tournaments and a 43-4 home record over a four year period. He was a position coach for the 2002 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and the league’s Defensive Player of the Year and was responsible for recruiting regions in Oklahoma and Arkansas. At Florida State, he generated and implemented offensive and defensive game plans, coached the guards which included an All-ACC player, and assisted the team to its second highest win total and its second postseason tournament berth in school history at that time as a member of the ACC.

2014-15 IN REVIEW It could be argued the sequel was more dramatic than the original. For the second straight season, Northwestern State played its best basketball at the right time, collecting the second of back-to-back Southland Conference Tournament championships. While the 2013-14 NSU team’s run through the SLC Tournament included more game-to-game drama, the 2014-15 NSU team’s tournament title likely was more unexpected. Entering the tournament as the No. 6 seed and having lost four of its final six regular-season games, Northwestern State made a historic run through the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas, to make program history. With its run of four wins in four days, Northwestern State became the first No. 6 seed to capture the SLC Tournament title, earning the first back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths in program history. For the second straight year, Lamar provided Northwestern State with its toughest challenge of the tournament, taking a 14-point, second-half lead. Doing what it did best all season long, Northwestern State erased the deficit and forced overtime with a pair of Keisha Lee free throws with 12 seconds remaining. One year after Janelle Perez’ buzzer-beater eliminated Lamar, NSU did it again, as Beatrice Attura poured in nine of her career-high 26 points in overtime to lead Northwestern State to a 70-64 victory. Northwestern State made up one half of a most unexpected tournament championship game, facing No. 8 seed Houston Baptist in the finals. Both teams were facing their fourth game in as many days, and it showed. Neither team played its best offensive game of the weekend, but Beatrice Attura continued her late-season surge to lift NSU to its historic victory. Attura dropped in 19 points in the tournament title game, earning tournament Most Valuable Player honors to cap an eight-game, late-season run in which she averaged 16.3 points per game, nearly doubling her season average (8.3). Northwestern State’s run to the tournament title put it back in the NCAA Tournament. A year after being tied with No. 1 seed Tennessee in the second half, NSU drew a No. 15 seed to face Baylor in Waco, Texas. NSU was unable to duplicate its performance at Tennessee, but given what transpired a week earlier in Katy, no one was complaining. In addition to taking home the Southland’s ultimate team prize for the second straight year, the 2014-15 season featured several individual milestones and the emergence of Janelle Perez as one of the Southland Conference’s top players. Perez and teammate Keisha Lee each surpassed the 1,000-point mark in their careers. It was fitting they did so in the same season as they have shared the backcourt since Lee’s redshirt freshman season and Perez’ true freshman season of 2012-13. Lee was the first of the pair -- and the 25th Lady Demon -- to reach the milestone mark, doing so Jan. 21 against Nicholls in Prather Coliseum. Lee’s baseline jumper with 18:30 to play in the game nudged her past the 1,000-point mark. Perez joined her less than a month later. In keeping with her ability to deliver in clutch situations, Perez reached 1,000 points with a 3-pointer with 33 seconds left in regulation at McNeese State on Feb. 14. Perez’ bucket looked like it would be the game winner before the Cowgirls answered with a 3 and eventually won the game in overtime. Perez tallied 26 points in that game, part of a season in which she scored 513 points, putting her just outside the top 10 single-season performances in school history. The loss at McNeese was part of a five-losses-in-six-games stretch that

Family • Passion to play before Lee went to the line with 12 seconds to play and knocked down a pair of free throws for her only points of the game. In overtime, Attura poured in nine of her career-best 26 points to lift NSU to a 70-64 victory and its second straight berth in the tournament title game. Sixth-seeded NSU and eighth-seeded Houston Baptist made for an unlikely championship game as each team was playing its fourth game in as many days. Behind another strong performance by Attura, NSU secured a seven-point victory and its first back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in program history. Northwestern State was rewarded with a 15 seed in the NCAA Tournament where they were matched up with No. 2 seed Baylor in the first round in Waco, Texas. After a strong first five minutes against the Lady Bears, Northwestern State was unable to recapture the magic it showed in its 2014 NCAA Tournament threatened to undo the strong start to conference play Northwestern State matchup with Tennessee, falling to Baylor, 77-36. enjoyed.

A road loss at Central Arkansas initiated the 1-5 slide that dragged NSU to the middle of the SLC pack. After finishing the regular season by splitting its final four games, Northwestern State made itself comfortable in what has become a second home to the program -- the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas, home of the Southland Conference Tournament. NSU pulled away from Central Arkansas in the SLC Tournament opener, eventually winning by 14 points behind 19 points from Lee. The quarterfinal matchup against Nicholls provided Northwestern State a chance at redemption. When NSU traveled to Thibodaux for the second of two regular-season meetings, it struggled through one of its toughest offfensive nights of the season, falling 59-40 to the Colonels after shooting 25.9 percent form the floor. In the Merrell Center, Northwestern State rewrote the script. Buoyed by Attura, who had missed the second matchup because of injury, Northwestern State shot a blistering 58.8 percent from the floor, including 40 percent from 3-point range, and cruised to an 84-67 victory. The 84 points were the most Northwestern State scored against a Division I opponent all season, as Attura, Perez, Lee and Chelsea Rogers all scored at least 12 points to propel NSU into the semifinals where it faced Lamar in a rematch of the 2014 tournament semifinals. The Cardinals appeared bent on avenging the loss from the prior season in which Perez’ buzzer-beater set the stage for Northwestern State’s return to the NCAA Tournament. Lamar built a 14-point lead with less than 17 minutes to play before Northwestern State reverted to its “Cardiac Kids” persona. A furious NSU push tied things at 48 with 8:20 to play. After the teams each knocked down a pair of 3-pointers, Attura gave NSU its first lead of the second half on a layup with 3:05 to play before Lamar answered 31 seconds later. A pair of Dominique Edwards free throws put Lamar up two with 28 seconds

Family • Passion NORTHWESTERN STATE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL HISTORY

Since the first team took the court in 1908, the women’s basketball program at Northwestern State has always scored a lot of points and won a lot of games. Dating to the early 1970s, when little attention was given to women’s athletics in college, the Lady Demons were already drawing attention with winning records and postseason success. In fact, while women’s sports were not yet funded by the university budget, the Lady Demons earned a trip to the National Women’s Invitational Tournament in 1973, led by volunteer coach Lou Lewis Baxter, a physical education professor. Recognized officially (and funded) by the university for the 1974-75 season, the Lady Demons hit the court running, posting an 18-9 record under head coach Mary Jane Mayfield. In April 1975, Northwestern became the first university in Louisiana to issue full athletic scholarships to women, when NSU athletes Pat Nolen, Diane Pittman, Emma Ellerman, Louise “Do” Bonin, Sherrill Landry, Terri McDonnell, Inez Brew, Mona Davidson, Janie Wallace and Margaret Langford were the recipients. Tammy Primeaux and Lisa Brewer were high school seniors who accepted scholarships to play basketball for the Lady Demons. In 1974-75, the Lady Demons advanced to the Louisiana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women basketball tournament, splitting four games with Southwestern Louisiana before moving onto the AIAW Region IV tournament. The Lady Demons repeated the accomplishment for the next three years under Charlotte Corley, posting a 14-13 record in state tournaments and an 8-8 mark in regional tournaments. While the Lady Demons were a powerful force in state women’s basketball under their first three coaches, it was under the leadership of Pat Nolen Pierson that the Lady Demons tasted their first bit of national recognition. After finishing her playing career with the Lady Demons and graduating with honors, she came within one game of claiming a state championship in her only year of high school coaching at her alma mater, Pitkin High School. She took over the Northwestern State program following that season, just 23 years old. During her nine

years as head coach, the Lady Demons became a force on the national level as women’s basketball moved into the NCAA Division I mainstream around the country after playing in the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women in the 1970s. A formidable partnership was created when Pierson hired James Smith as assistant coach in 1980. He was responsible for installing the Lady Demons’ trademark fast-break offense. The Pierson-Smith tandem won 71 percent of their games (135-56) in their seven years together. During those years, Northwestern State became a fixture in the national top 10 scoring rankings. That attack appealed to top athletes like Lonnie Banks, Teressa Thomas, Annie Harris, Linda Grayson and Sandy Pugh, highly recruited prep stars who became Lady Demon greats. The Lady Demons won three straight Gulf Star Conference championships (1984-86), receiving votes for the AP Top 20 each year. The 1985-86 squad made the biggest breakthrough, setting a single season record for victories and becoming the first Northwestern State team to participate in postseason play at the NCAA Division I level. That team, led by Thomas, Banks and Harris, stunned 1985 NCAA Final Four entry Northeast Louisiana (ranked No. 4 in USA Today Top 25) 86-83 on Jan. 30, 1986. Northwestern State had a 20-point halftime lead and held off a rally as Harris ripped in 37 points and Thomas pumped in 25 more to go along with eight assists and Banks, at 5-foot-5, snagged 14 rebounds. A pair of late-season road losses at Southeastern Louisiana and Sam Houston probably kept the Lady Demons out of the 32-team NCAA Tournament. However, the NWIT issued an invitation to Northwestern State and it was well received on both ends. By the end of the NWIT in Amarillo, Texas, the Lady Demons had won over the local crowd and nearly won the tournament title. Seeded sixth, Northwestern State topped Tennessee Tech, 77-71, and squeaked by Duke, 89-88, on a last-second jumper by Harris to reach the championship contest. As a crowd of 2,600 Texans cheered wildly “on another night in Lady Demon Land,” as the local newspaper put it, Northwestern battled to the last minute before falling 100-91 to Idaho. Thomas and Harris were All-Tournament

FIRST SIGNEES - In April 1975, Northwestern State became the first university in Louisiana to issue fall athletic scholarships to women. SIgning basketball and volleyball scholarships were (left to right) Diane Pittman, Pat Nolen, Emma Ellerman, “Do” Bonin, and Sherrill Landry

picks. Thomas had a national record 19 assists in an 88-77 win over Mississippi College earlier in her senior year. The Lady Demons won a fourth straight conference title in 1986-87 with a win over Southwest Texas, sharing the title with Stephen F. Austin. Sandy Pugh was named conference MVP, the first time a Lady Demon was named conference MVP. At the end of the 1987 campaign, Pierson made a difficult decision and left Northwestern to rejuvenate the women’s basketball program at East Carolina. It was an easy decision, however, to elevate Smith to the head coaching position. In 17 years, he took the program to even greater heights while surpassing Pierson as the alltime winningest coach in Lady Demon history during the 1995-96 season. Senior Linda Grayson combined with junior college transfer Pam Hudson to lead another landmark year for the Lady Demons in 1988-89. Smith’s second team knocked off No. 11 Stephen F. Austin, 78-76, and earned an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. In 1989-90, the program took another huge step forward when Hudson won the Division I rebounding title (15.2 rpg), finished second in the scoring race (28.4 ppg) and rewrote school and Southland Conference records on the way to becoming the first major college All-American in Northwestern State basketball history. She was a second-team pick on the Basketball Writers of America team and a honorable mention Kodak All-American. In 1993, the Lady Demons posted another winning campaign (24-8) with a freshman nucleus led by Joskeen Garner, the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and a first team All-SLC pick. Northwestern State accepted a bid to the NWIT and claimed the consolation championship (third place). The 1993-94 Lady Demons posted their 15th consecutive winning season with a 20-8 record as Garner was the nation’s second leading rebounder (13.8 rpg) and named Louisiana’s Co-Player of the Year with Pam Thomas of Louisiana Tech.

Service • Accountability Northwestern State posted its fourth consecutive 20-win season en route to a record-tying 25-7 record in 1994-95. The Lady Demons captured their first Southland Conference championship, finishing league play with a 16-2 record. Northwestern State lost to SFA in the tournament championship game, but accepted a bid to the NWIT for the second time in three years. The seventh-seeded Lady Demons were the surprise team in Amarillo, Texas. Northwestern State opened with an 80-64 win over Clemson. They followed with a 103-93 win over Notre Dame in a semifinal shootout before losing a hard-fought battle against Texas A&M in the finals, 85-81. Joskeen Garner became the first Lady Demon since Pam Hudson to earn All-American honors, being named to the Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American team. The Lady Demons again posted impressive numbers in 1995-96 while posting their 17th straight winning season, one win shy of a fifth straight 20-win season. Northwestern State went through a rebuilding process in 1996-97 but found a star in Judy Clark, named Southland Conference Freshman of the Year. The 1998-99 squad put their stamp on the the Lady Demons record books. The team reeled off 13 straight wins from Dec. 20, 1998 to Feb. 6, 1999, a new Lady Demons record and finished the year with a 22-7 overall record. Clark added another piece of hardware to her trophy case, as she was selected Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Southland Conference regular season champions lost to Stephen F. Austin in the tournament finals, but once again were invited to the WNIT, the third time in six years for NSU. In a new format, the Lady Demons lost in the first round on the road against Arkansas. In 1999-00, the Lady Demons (24-6) notched an .800 winning percentage, the best in school history. The Lady Demons also had the third-most wins in school history.

Linda Grayson is NSU’s all-time leading scorer and the only Lady Demon with at least 2,000 points scored.

The 1999-00 season did end in disappointment, however, as the Lady Demons failed to earn a bid to the NCAA tournament despite a higher RPI ranking than several teams that were offered bids. The 2000-01 team led by Kia Converse rolled off a school-record 15 straight wins from Jan. 1 to March 8, finishing the season with a mark of 23-7. The Lady Demons advanced to the tournament finals, only to lose to SFA. Converse became the SLC’s all-time best 3-point shooter with 218 career 3s. The 2003-04 team looked loaded in what turned out to be coach Smith’s final season, and the pieces fell into place. The Lady Demons rolled through the SLC season with a 14-2 mark, including an 11-0 start. The team finished 24-7, tying for the second-most wins in a season while winning the SLC regular-season and tournament crowns, advancing to the second NCAA Tournament in school history. Cooda Dobin became NSU’s career assist leader with 921. She also became the first player in NCAA history, men or women, to lead the nation in assists per game for three straight seasons. She was featured in the NCAA Final Four official program. Dobin later returned to the Lady Demon program as an assistant coach for the 2011-12 season. On Sept. 1, 2004, the torch was passed. Smith stepped down as head coach and Lady Demon player and assistant coach Jennifer Graf, after being groomed by her mentor for the last two seasons, took over as head coach. Graf stepped down at NSU after accumulating more than 100 wins for the Lady Demons at the conclusion of the 2011-12 season, and on Apr. 4, 2012, the first set of co-head coaches in program history was hired. Brooke Stoehr, who started at point guard for rival Louisiana Tech from 2000-02, was hired from Texas Tech with her husband, Scott. The two immediately saw success after doubling the program’s win total in just a year and taking NSU to its third NCAA tournament after an SLC Tourney championship in 2014. The 2013-14 season was much like the days of old with a 20-win season, its first since 2004, and one team standing between NSU and the big dance, Stephen F. Austin. The Lady Demons downed the Ladyjacks 62-44 on March 16 to claim the second league tournament title in school history which led to Brooke and Scott Stoehr capturing the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Coaches of the Year Award. The Stoehrs added to their legacy in March 2015, leading Northwestern State to a second straight Southland Conference Tournament championship and a return trip to the NCAA Tournament. NSU’s appearance against Baylor marked the first time in program history it had reached consecutive NCAA Tournaments. Four Lady Demons have had their jerseys retired after great careers. Hanging in the rafters of Prather Coliseum, alongside the many championship banners, are Pam Hudson’s No. 45, Linda Grayson’s No. 33, Lonnie Banks’ No. 10, and Teressa Thomas’ No. 25. It’s a safe bet, looking at the fast track record of success for Lady Demons hoops, that more banners will be raised. soon.

PRATHER COLISEUM

Perhaps the toughest arena in which to play in the Southland Conference, Prather Coliseum is now in its sixth decade of hosting Northwestern State basketball and is named after H. Lee Prather, the all-time winningest coach in Demon Basketball history. The 3,400-seat multi-purpose facility was constructed in 1963 and sits on the banks of Chaplin’s Lake, just south of Turpin Stadium. The coliseum houses offices for men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, soccer, the NSU news bureau and sports information offices. The arena was given a major facelift before the 2012-13 season with the addition of a permanent wood floor that fits three basketball courts, attractive new courtside purple seating that includes end-zone bleachers and new interior signage and banners.

Dr. Jim Henderson

Northwestern State President

He opened his introductory press conference last September playfully asking why the student newspaper -- that he edited two decades ago -- played the story covering his selection as president-elect on Page 3. Then Dr. Jim Henderson held up the Current Sauce, with a full front page photo and headline commemorating the previous weekend’s landmark Demon football victory over old rival Louisiana Tech, and deadpanned: “they got it right.” The proud alumnus has shown tremendous passion for every aspect of Northwestern State University in his new role. He officially assumed the office Jan. 1 upon the retirement of Dr. Randall J. Webb, now president emeritus after leading NSU since the summer of 1996.

Dr. Darlene Williams in his previous campus leadership role, over the past six years at Bossier Parish Community College. His inclusive, transparent management style blends with a seemingly ever-present persona across the Natchitoches campus and anywhere Demons, or prospective Demons, may be. Henderson spent his first semester as NSU’s leader this spring establishing new bonds within the region, aiming to grow Northwestern State into the leading university in the region. He made reaching out to students and student-athletes a priority, gaining valuable feedback that helped Henderson guide NSU through the statewide threat of serious budget cuts that were finally averted last spring by the state legislature, with Henderson’s active lobbying contributing to the successful and remarkable preservation of current budget levels. Prior to NSU, Henderson served as chancellor of Bossier Parish Community College since 2009. In that time, BPCC expanded enrollment by more than 84 percent and increased annual certificate and degree completions by 90 percent. From 2011-13, BPCC was among the five fastest growing community colleges in the nation with enrollments of between 5,000 and 9,999. Under Henderson’s leadership, the college created market responsive programs in nursing, oil and gas technology, construction management, industrial technology and engineering. Henderson was senior vice president, workforce and economic development/career & technical education for the Louisiana Community & Technical College System from 2005 to 2009. He served as appointing authority and chief executive officer of the LCTCS comprised of eight regional technical colleges serving more than 26,000 students. Under his leadership, the statewide technical college system with 42 individually accredited campuses was transitioned into eight regionally accredited technical colleges. During Henderson’s tenure, LCTCS enrollment grew by 98 percent and helped obtain more than $65 million in grants, appropriations and private funding to enhance workforce development. In partnership with Louisiana Economic Development, Henderson helped create Louisiana FastStart, the nation’s top-ranked state workforce training program. From 2001 to 2005, he was director of administration and director of workforce development for the Louisiana Department of Labor. After graduating from NSU with a journalism degree in 1994, Henderson was in the private sector for 10 years in hotel management. He worked for Mississippi Management, Inc., Kemmons Wilson Companies and Ryco Management, playing a leadership role as each company achieved record growth in profitability. A native of Shreveport, Henderson met his wife Tonia at NSU and they married before both graduated. His mother, Martha, is a former administrator at NSU. His father, Clem, a revered high school coach and principal in Shreveport, passed away in March. NSU’s new president earned a Master of Science in Administration from the University of West Florida and a Doctor of Management from the University of Maryland – University College. The Hendersons have three children, Reagan, Nicholas and Alexander.

An Involved President When Dr. Jim Henderson took the reins at Northwestern State, the new NSU president didn’t stand on precedent. Instead, he set a few of his own. From his back-and-forths with student athletes and the student body as a whole on Twitter (@DrJBHenderson) to his appearance as the color anlayst during Northwestern State’s women’s basketball game against Stephen F. Austin Feb. 5, 2015, Henderson has infused the campuses that comprise Northwestern State University with a new energy that has filtered throughout northwest Louisiana. While pushing a serious message of improving NSU, Henderson has found a way to mix in some levity as well. A week before making his radio debut, Henderson became the first coach/president to be playfully ejected from an NSU Greek basketball game.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Few people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 50th 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 25th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists NSU Athletic Council President Dr. Jim Henderson in governmental affairs activities. Many of Jody Biscoe (Chair) those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under five previous Hall Adams presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division LaCarsha Babers to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Brittany Blackwell A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Cole Gentry for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Baylee Gray (Student) legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Kelee Grimes went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Steve Gruesbeck and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Lori LeBlanc In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dr. Jack Pace Dr. Charles Pellegrin to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau Christie Price director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletKelee Roddy ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Steve Story He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Sabri Thompson (Student) Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in Ex-Officio Members place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 Greg Burke years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step Carrie Greene aside from the volunteer post. Dustin Eubanks Roxanne Freeman He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Patrice Moulton America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staDr. Vicki Parrish tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Jerry Pierce conference through other offices and committee positions. Dr. Randall Webb 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 more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a sought-after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a 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. Pierce and his wife Regina, a recently retired teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 24, and Miranda, 13, and two adult stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In his 20th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since August 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship-caliber teams in all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Those achievements have garnered several awards for Burke, including the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame and the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He is a past recipient of the All-America Football Foundation’s General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and also was tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He also is a familiar face on the national level by virtue of serving on several NCAA and NACDA committees, including being president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association and a member of the NACDA Executive Committee. He currently is a member of the NCAA Committee on Academics and has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation, and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 19 years as athletic director include 37 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 61 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone more than $9 million in improvements in recent years, including a $2 million replacement project for all scoreboards funded completely through private sponsorships the past four years. The newly established Demons Unlimited Foundation has set annual giving records each of the past two years while embarking on an ambitious initiative to grow the athletic endowment to $5 million under the recently initiated “Perpetually Purple” program. 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. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr have guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament twice in their three-year tenure, co-head coaches Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman led the volleyball program to its first Southland tournament title and NCAA berth, first-year women’s tennis coach Olga Bazhanova led the Lady Demons to the 2015 conference regular-season title and a berth in the tournament championship game while baseball coach Lane Burroughs in his third year has revived that program with a 2015 second-place finish in the league standings. Anchors of the NSU department include current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader, and 2015 Southland Conference softball coach of the year Donald Pickett, whose team won the conference regular season title for the first time in 15 years and played in its third straight conference tournament championship game. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. NSU received the Southland Conference’s inaugural “Southland Strong” Community Service Awards and an NSU student-athlete has been a recipient of the Southland Male or Female Citizenship seven times since the award’s inception eight years ago, including having both winners the past two years. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association, was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally, and currently is on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors. An Ohio native, he received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 21-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and plans to pursue a career in collegiate athletics when she graduates from Louisiana Tech in May 2016.
