2019 NORTHWESTERN STATE VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE
PRATHER COLISEUM Perhaps the toughest arena to play in the Southland Conference, Prather Coliseum is now in its sixth decade of hosting Northwestern State volleyball and 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, sports information, compliance, athletic facilities and vice president of external affairs 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.

2019 outlook The expectations were high for Northwestern State volleyball entering the 2018 season. They were Southland Conference Tournament hosts coming off their best record since winning the tournament in 2014. Unfortunately for the Lady Demons and head coach Sean Kiracofe, who enters his fifth season at NSU in 2019, things just didn’t click like they did the year before. “In 2017 we had a lot of memory-making matches,” Kiracofe said. “We were in some tough situations and were able to pull them out, and it kind of snowballed from there and created some momentum for us. We got in those same kinds of situations last year and just never seemed to be able to push through. We just never got that spark to get that momentum going.” Entering the 2019 season, there is plenty of potential spark creators on a smaller, but equally as talented roster. A roster that Kiracofe says will, “create situations where things will be more streamlined,” and “players will know their roles within the team.”
suffered an ankle injury that limited her playing time the rest of the way but is poised to take the starting spot on the right side and fill in offensive holes left by graduation. One of just two newcomers this year, freshman Addison McDermott will mirror the versatility of a Warren for the Lady Demons. “She’s going to see time on the outside, she can go in the middle, and the right side as well,” Kiracofe said. “She is really going to be the first off the bench for us in any kind of offensive situation, which is a lot to ask of a freshman, but she’s uniquely qualified because she’s done that her entire career.” Middle Blockers (3) Kourtney Seaton, 6-2, Sr.-3L Brooke Wood, 6-2, RS Jr.-2L Reagan Lee, 6-2, RS Fr.-HS
It’s not the number that Kiracofe would like to have, but three middle blockers will be what he has to work with to start the 2019 campaign. He’ll have to rely on his years of experience working with the Outside Hitters/Right Side (4) middle of the defense to maintain the level of play the Lady Demons Alexis Warren, 5-10, Sr.-3L have seen from that position. Hannah Brister, 6-0, Jr.-2L “We are going to be a bit thin at that position,” Kiracofe said. “Just Darria Williams, 5-11, Jr.-2L from a personal standpoint I’d like to have four. It just makes it easier. Addison McDermott, 6-0, Fr-HS You want some depth there because of injuries or you struggle or whatever and we just won’t have that this year.” It doesn’t take long to see where the most experience is on the Despite one less than he would like, the three middles that return team. With a four-year starter in Alexis Warren and preseason first-team for 2019 have the experience, talent, and expectations of a big year. all-conference player Hannah Brister, the Lady Demons have plenty Kourtney Seaton and Brooke Wood are the two that return with any of offense and experience leading the outside attack. Brister was the playing experience after a redshirt year for Reagan Lee.

season and really started to figure some things out,” Kiracofe said. “I think she’s is going to have a breakout year and for the rest of her career to where I think she’s going to be great for us in a lot of different ways.” Libero/Defensive Specialists (4) Megan Lohmiller, 5-8, Sr.-3L Charli Fouts, 5-8, Jr.-2L Bryce Potter, 5-3, So.-1L Haley Hoang, 5-4, Fr.-HS
In easily the deepest position on the team, the Lady Demons have a track record of strong defensive play and are built to maintain that style for the next several years. With the departure of Channing Burleson, the 2017 Southland Libero of the Year who recorded the second-most alltime digs in school history, it will be Lohmiller that will be tasked with carrying the defensive mantle in her senior year, but a job that she is well equipped to do. “It has been one of our best positions and I think it’s going to continue to be that way,” Kiracofe said. “Channing was an amazing libero and to have Meg next to her for three years made us one of the best defensive teams in the conference. That’s difficult for Meg to have to sit behind Channing for three years, but she handled it well and worked hard to get better and is going to have a fantastic senior year.” With the senior Lohmiller, are Fouts (junior), Potter (sophomore), and Hoang (freshman) setting the Lady Demons up nicely for a long stretch of high quality defense. “Bryce was hurt last year so this is going to be her first year of really getting back to 100 percent,” Kiracofe said. “Charli is an amazing all-around volleyball player and we can put her at any position really. She’s focusing on more of a defensive role now but we can put her anywhere and she’s going to do good things on the court. Haley was really highly recruited and is going to be a fantastic player and be able to help us out. “So to have those three as well means we’re as deep as anybody in the conference at that position and, no matter what happens, I feel like we can put people in there and have a great defense on the floor.” The combination of Lohmiller, Fouts, and Potter should allow Hoang to develop and acclimate to the college game much quicker. “You have to get kills and score in volleyball to win but you also have to keep the other team from doing that,” Kiracofe said. “I would say we have as good a group of defenders in the libero position as anybody in the conference.” Setter (3) Cayman Sutton, 5-8, Sr.-TR Charli Fouts, 5-8, Jr.-2L Skyler Besch, 5-9, So.-1L

The Lady Demons will have options at the net when setting up for an attack. Both Sutton and Besch provide different dynamics and styles that will make the offense run. “Skylar is a lefty setter that is very offensive at the net and just provides a different element that is difficult to come by unless you have a left-handed setter,” Kiracofe said. “Cayman is a little bit smaller at the net so that hurts her but she’s just a gamer. She’s good. She runs a great offense, she knows who to give the ball when, and is just very consistent.” Besch saw the bulk of the playing time last season and deliverd a team-high 744 assists, adding 63 kills, the second-most of any primarily non-offensive player. NSU found some success near the end of the season with both setters on the floor at the same time and will likely keep that trend going to start the 2019 season. “We ran Cayman across the back and Skylar across the font so basically they shared the position,” Kiracofe said, “and it really gave us the best of both worlds. They each bring such really good elements, to combine them like that really showed some great things for us.” Megan Lohmiller

SEAN KIRACOFE HEAD COACH Fifth Season at Northwestern State Texas Tech, 1999 Steady progress has defined the first four seasons of the Sean Kiracofe era of Northwestern State volleyball. NSU’s victory total more than doubled from Kiracofe’s first year to his third at the helm. The Lady Demons have recorded three consecutive double-digit win seasons and back-to-back records at .500 or better in conference play. 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. 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. Burleson picked up another first-team Southland selection in 2018 with Hannah Brister (second) and Drake (honorable mention) joining the postseason conference honors. 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. A native Texan, Kiracofe helped lead SMU to a 48-14 record in his final two

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.

2019 NORTHWESTERN STATE VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE
university administration
Dr. Chris Maggio Northwestern State President Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s third-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, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Marcus Jones tenure spearheaded significant Vice President for Technology, Innovation and growth and achievement in two Economic Development: years as president. Henderson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 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

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.

Greg Burke
Director of Athletics The Burke File
AGE: 62 (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.
In 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, 72 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 before the 2017 home opener, a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed in 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 2018-19. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” generated an influx of outright and deferred gifts that have the athletics scholarship endowment at more than $2 million. Overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships has cracked $2 million for the third 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 third-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier, who guided the Demons to the NCAA Tournament in 2018. Numerous Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Former baseball coach John Cohen is in his third 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 (Indiana University Pennsylvania), 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. Since 2013, 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.

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!” During Feb. 2013, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the North Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Seven years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He serves on the NCAA Committee on Academics, a 20-person group replacing the Committee on Academic Performance, which included Burke. He also has served on the NCAA Championships/ Sports Management Cabinet. Burke previously served a four-year term 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. He 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. 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. Their 24-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s Catholic School in May of 2012 and will complete her graduate studies at UL Lafayette this December after earning her undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech.
