2017 2016 outlook As with all college athletic programs, change has come to the Northwestern State volleyball team. Third-year coach Sean Kiracofe has a new coaching staff for the first time in his tenure as the Lady Demons attempt to build up on a five-win improvement from the 2015 to 2016 seasons. “You always want some continuity between coaching staff so there is consistency,” Kiracofe said. “The team gets used to what you’re asking for. It’s easier to make changes within a match, and everyone’s on the same page. You can look at succesful teams and say they have continuity on the coaching staff. “That said, this change has been fantastic. There are a lot of new ideas and experience with (assistant) Ashley (Hardee), some of which we already have implemented. His experience from a head coach’s setting is going to really benefit us as we get into matches and some tough situations. Stacey (DiFrancesco’s) experience with the school and the program and the passion she has for this team, it rubs off on everyone out there. There’s a validity that comes from it that is easier because she’s been through it and done it. It helps all the girls out there.” Outside Hitters (3) Reagan Rogers, 6-0, Jr.-2L Alexis Warren, 5-10, So.-1L Hannah Brister, 6-0, Fr.-HS A pair of returners who have been productive in Rogers and Warren are joined by a touted freshman in Brister. Warren had a huge freshman season, leading Northwestern State in kills (314), total attempts (1,160) and ranked second in digs (332). Warren was one of three productive freshmen a year ago who helped spark NSU’s improvement. “Alexis did a little bit of everything for us last year and was essential in how much we improved last year,” Kiracofe said. “Offensively, defensively, blocking at the net, defending on the back Reagan Rogers row, offense from the back row and serve receive, we leaned on her a lot. We’ve added depth to the roster and, hopefully,

we’ve added enough offense to take the pressure off of her from doing so much. That will make her even better in her sophomore year.” Rogers topped 100 kills for the second time in as many season, highlighted by a 17-kill performance in three sets against Lehigh. She closed the regular season with consecutive double-doubles against Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State and led NSU with 14 kills against Sam Houston in the SLC Tournament. “Reagan has had moments where she’s been fantastic,” Kiracofe said. “She’s a great outside who can also do a little bit of everything. She’s more of an offensive outside. Going into her junior year, she’ll be able to provide more offense on a consistent basis. She proved that in the spring. She’s come in determined to take a starting role and keep it.” Brister became the first Louisiana player to sign with the Demons in Kiracofe’s time as head coach and comes with an impressive resume. Brister led the state in kills as a senior and spent July playing at the USA Volleyball High Performance tournament. “Hannah was fantastic in high school and club,” Kiracofe said. “We think she is going to make a name for herself at Northwestern State. She has the potential to break a lot of recordsand be the main person you’re talking about night in and night out. She’s got two experienced outsides in front of her who will make her better. If she does take a spot and find some time on the court, she’s going to do some great things.” Right Side (2) Victoria Harris, 6-1, So.-1L Darria Williams, 5-11, Fr.-HS In her first season at Northwestern State, Harris provided instant offense off the bench as an outside hitter. A move to the right side seemed to unlock even more of Harris’ potential. “It’s not really a position she was comfortable with or spent much time at,” Kiracofe said. “We saw in practices taht she could be really offensively productive over there and said let’s make it a full-time thing. We knew we would be short in that position. We would either move her over there to utilize her or to add depth. “As she got comfortable with how to hit over there with different angles, she really started to improve. It wasn’t just that she was over there to be on the right side, she was becoming a right side.” Harris, a Cincinnati transfer, is joined by Williams, a freshman who brings a different look to the Lady Demons roster. A left-hander, Williams impressed Kiracofe and his staff early. “Darria’s definitely going to have a role this season,” Kiracofe said. “She’s going to give other teams fits over there being a lefty and being athletic and being able to hit really sharp angles or turn it back across her body and go down the line, which she is good at already.” Regardless of how much time Williams sees during the 2017 season, her presence should make Northwestern State a better defensive team. “We’ll be a better defensive team from getting to train against her on a daily basis,” Kiracofe said. “When we play somebody that has a lefty, it won’t be our first time to see it. Darria’s going to help us in a lot of ways. At some point, we’re going to find ways to get Darria on the floor. She’s going to do good things from the beginning.”

A season after having little experience up front, the return of Drake and Seaton give the Lady Demons stability up front. Drake delivered a solid season in her first extended playing time on the collegiate level, incuding a 13-kill performance against Southeast Missouri State in which she hit .722. That number was the seventh-best hitting percentage in a single match in school history. Seaton was equally effective offensively and defensively, leading NSU with a .254 hitting percentage and collecting 89 block assists, a program freshman record and the third-highest total in school single-season history. “We expect Kourtney and Madeline to come in and be productive offensively and defensively,” Kiracofe said. “Kourtney was productive last year and continued to get better as the season went on to the point where we moved her from the M2 position to M1 to get her the ball more often.” Wood took advantage of a redshirt season and stands at the ready to move into the middle rotation. “Brooke improved leaps and bounds in the spring,” Kiracofe said. “She’ll be more than ready when her opportuniy arises.” Kiracofe echoed those comments about Bean, praising the freshman’s rapid improvement during the two weeks of preseason camp.

Head Coach

Sean Kiracofe 2nd Season at NSU • 2nd Season Overall Texas Tech (1999)

Through two seasons as the Northwestern State volleyball coach, Sean Kiracofe has worked to put his stamp on the program. His second season produced the type of step forward that portends even bigger things in year three. 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 sophomore libero Channing 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 brings 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. A native Texan, Kiracofe helped lead SMU to a 48-14 record in his final two seasons in Dallas and coached a pair of first-team all-conference middle blockers. Under Kiracofe’s direction, SMU’s Caroline Young was a three-time, first-team all-conference selection and an honorable men-

Kiracofe’s experience, which also includes collegiate positions at UNLV, Montana State and UTEP alongside club positions with Tejas Volleyball Club, North Texas High Performance and the Austin Metro Volleyball Club, gave him an introduction on the various skills needed to run his own program. He credited SMU head coach Lisa Seifert’s willingness to allow her assistants greater-than-normal responsibility for helping him develop a blueprint for running his own program. Kiracofe is a 1999 graduate of Texas Tech with a bachelor of arts in political science and a minor in history. He was a four-year starter and a two-year captain for the Red Raiders club team, which he helped lead to top-25 rankings in 1998 and 1999.

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. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six 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 Pos.

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), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar, Stephen F. Austin). The Southland sponsors 17 full 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. The Southland Bowling League, an affiliated Conference sport, originated in 2015, and four of its members filled out half of the eight-team bracket, with Stephen F. Austin advancing to the national title match.

Dr. Chris Maggio

Northwestern State President

Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s new 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. Today, you can find him making early-morning runs, and you might see him on the tennis courts. He’s made memorable putts in scramble tournaments at Demon Hills Golf Course. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fund raiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N members and students comPresident: bined with his warmth and . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dr. Darlene Williams Dr. Maggio was appointed as acting president of Northwestern State effective January 1, and named to the position permanently May 4 after a national search. He succeeded Dr. Jim Henderson, whose dynamic tenure spearheaded significant growth and achievement in two years as president. Henderson moved up to run the University of Louisiana System, which includes Northwestern and eight other state universities. Maggio, 53, 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 last September 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 a couple of years ago, 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 two years. Enrollment for the Spring semester was 9,879 students. The year-to-year jump from Fall 2015 to 2016 at NSU was a seven percent increase, the highest growth rate of any University of Louisiana System institution, with Maggio and staff playing a pivotal role. 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 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 other colleges.

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 52nd 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 27th 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, an avid tennis player, 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 NSU Athletic Council oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Chris Maggio in governJody Biscoe (Chair) mental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as Hall Adams Kwan Adkins (Student-Athlete) he worked under six previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Angela Bolton NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977.

After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Dr. Theresa Kyzar went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Lori LeBlanc and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24.

He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Jerry Pierce 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. Pierce and his wife Regina, a retired teacher and also a tennis buff, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 60 (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.

Beginning his 22nd 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 41 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 68 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-five NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or other postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone over $7 million in improvements in the past few years, with another $1 million of enhancements to Turpin Stadium’s video board and sound system due before the 2017 home opener. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; a $500,000 softball grandstand project; and a $600,000 upgrade of chairback seating at Turpin Stadium for the 2016 football season. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2015-16. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” generated an influx of over $100,000, while overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships cracked $2 million. 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. 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, and Southland Conference. Five others hold Associate AD positions in the SEC, PAC 12, and American Athletic conferences. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Wisconsin-Whitewhater), 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. Just in the past four years, Lady Demon basketball (2014, 2015), softball (2013, 2014), tennis (2013, 2015) and volleyball (2015) have reached NCAA Tournaments. Burke established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. The Southland Conference created the “Southland Strong” Community Service award to recognize the member institution whose student-athletes compile the most service hours each year. NSU won the inaugural prize in 2014-15 and was second in 2015-16.

In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. At the time, Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke serves on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau board, and on the board of directors for the Central Louisiana Community Foundation. He 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 member of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He has been involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher.
