2018 PREVIEW GOALKEEPERS

RETURNERS

Kayla Bomben

NEWCOMERS

Sydney Normand

NO. CLASS NOTES 1 R-So.-1L One career start, shutout Nicholls until OT

Fr.-HS

Coach’s Thoughts: • Fierce competition at the keeper position between Bomben and Normand • Bomben has two seasons under belt in a backup role, made one career start in which she shut out Nicholls in regulation (lost in OT). Four career appearances with a 1.57 GAA • Normand is an incoming freshman who excelled in Texas soccer at Klein Collins High • Could be a two-keeper solution based on opponent • “We wanted competition at that position, and bringing in Sydney has allowed us to accomplish that. Bomben knew and appreciated that, and whomever gets that first opportunity, the other keeper will be nipping at their heels. They are making each other better in this compeition.” • “Bomben is fit and has a high work rate. Quickness is one of her best attributes, and she has to have it at her size. She can cover ground rapidly and get across the (goal frame). • “Sydney is big and physical, and she has a strong presence and voice. That goes a long way in our defenders having a sense of security and opponents knowing she’s serious.”

Brittany Caserma April Trowbridge

Skylar Sorrell Jalen Donaldson Hallie McCarroll

Coach’s Thoughts: • Brittany Caserma is such a physical scorer who is a tough matchup in this league. Led team with eight goals last year and will be a main target of opponents. • April Trowbridge and Caserma have quite the chemistry and should be a productive combination. We want Trowbridge to attack more. • “Trowbridge and Caserma have looked dangerous together and they gravitate toward one another. Trowbridge likes to go forward and attack players, and we want her in front of goal with opportunities to make things happen.” • Jalen Donaldson is a technical player who has scored a lot of goals. • Hallie McCarroll has been a bit of a surprise because she’s come in with a motor and is also technical in the attack. • Sorrell is in instinctual player who has been hampered by injury, but could make impact “Jalen is a crafty player who is good off both feet, and she can score or create for others. She’s a natural scorer who has also developed a rapport with Trowbridge. Hallie is comfortable taking players on and can get to the inline and cross it. We should have options that offer different things against opponents to vary our attack.” Southland Conference Tournament Champions: 1997 • 2000 • 2002 • 2005 NCAA Tournament: 2000 • 2002 • 2005 Great Tradition • Brighter Future

April Ficarrotta Jacqueline Manza Jayden Wheeler Alexis Weaver Brittany Cecil

Kylee Dominy Aliyah Hale Norma Trejo Karleigh Acosta

Coach’s Thoughts: • A position group that blurs the line as some may move to forward and some back to defender and vice versa • Jayden Wheeler is “rock solid” and will be a consistent force in the group • Alexis Weaver more known for her defensive ability, likely to be deepest midfielder • Ficarrotta and Manza bring lots of college soccer knowledge to group. Manza played forward early in career, dangerous left-footed scorer • Cecil is a raw and athletic player who improved technial aspects over summer, relentless • Trejo brings a technical ability and unique vision to the field, characterstic of the Hispanic style of soccer. • “We have a lot of pieces that we’ll want to take a look at. Some of these players can play a more forward position, and some might be more on the back line.” • “Ficarrotta and Manza have been around the program a long time, and players like Wheeler and Weaver will help the younger ones along.”

Kaymi Wheeler Kalee Williams Nicole Henry Kiara Padilla Natalee Henry

Coach’s Thoughts: • Competition is the name of the game with five returners and five newcomers • Some lineups trot out as many as four freshmen • Olivia Marazzo morphed into leader of the backline with strong presence at center back • Ysmina Smith is a three-year starter who will inflience back line play • Natalee and Nicole Henry are super quick with the ability to go on the attack • Kaymi Wheeler and Kalee Williams also impressing in fall camp • “There’s lots of competition at each spot. We’re looking at filling all of these positions and creating quality depth everywhere. We want our outside backs overlapping and attacking, not just sticking to defensive tasks. We need a rotation, and we have options.” • “Olivia is a leader who has taken command of the back line. It’s important to do things together, whether we’re stepping to take away space or dropping. (Smith) brings experience. The Henry twins are so quick and can recover well. Kalee is physical and has a great presence. Kaymi is a technical player who can play up and down the wing.”

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 Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and 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. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first seven years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2014, three Southland teams – Southeastern Louisiana, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin– all qualified for the NCAA Division I Football Championship, and in 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston advanced to the national championship game. 2002 national championship contest.

Northwestern State teammates rushed to senior goalkeeper Alex Latham’s side as the Lady Demons pitched a wail of a shutout to defeat the reigning Southland Conference champions Central Arkansas, 1-0, in the season finale at the Lady Demon Soccer Complex. Latham and the defense topped the Bears for the first time in that senior class’ careers, but NSU’s postseason fate was already decided. The Lady Demons (6-12) notched just their second Southland Conference win (2-9) in that season finale, knowing before the game that the program which fought so hard in 2016 to reach the postseason (first time since 2008) wouldn’t be making a return trip. NSU went 3-6 in one-goal games, a defining feature of the 2016 squad which fared well in close matches. Four of those six losses came against Southland Conference Tournament teams, including the SLC regular season and tournament champion Lamar (1-0 loss) and the No. 3 seed McNeese (2-1 loss in overtime). Latham’s 13 saves against UCA was one short of a career high, ending a career which placed her among the elite of Lady Demon goalkeepers. Her 17 shutouts, 24 wins and 374 saves each rank second in NSU program history. But Latham’s, and the defense’s, numbers didn’t match the magic of 2016. NSU allowed more than two goals per game (2.06) with Latham’s goals against average at 2.08. NSU was much tougher to crack in 2016, allowing just 1.32 goals per game with Latham’s GAA checking in at 1.11. Latham and midfielder Jayden Wheeler were honored with Southland Conference All-Academic Second-Team selections. Wheeler produced seven points (two goals and assists), including a four-point game in a win against Jackson State. Despite a decline in wins, the offense was more productive in 2017. Brittany Caserma, Gabriella Gamboa and Cache’ Haley combined to score 18 of NSU’s 34 goals for an offense that averaged 1.89 goals per game – a nearly half-goal improvement from 2016. Caserma returns from that trio after scoring a team-high eight goals, earning her second-team All-Southland Conference and All-Louisiana recognition. Gamboa, who doesn’t return after her freshman season in which she scored five goals, was honorably mentioned on the All-Louisiana squad. Caserma’s greatest feat was scoring two goals in three minutes in a comeback win at Incarnate Word. She also posted her first career hat trick with three goals against LSUS in the opener. Haley, one of 10 NSU seniors in 2017, finished a solid career with five goals. Haley compiled 33 career points. Midfielder April Trowbridge, the 2016 SLC Newcomer of the Year, was in the middle of an offense that created more room to operate, finishing with three goals and five assists. Trowbridge scored three goals and five assists as a junior.

Dr. Chris Maggio Northwestern State President Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s second-year president was an all-sports athlete in high school, a college distance runner at NSU, and a high school football, basketball and track coach. He became a college coach in track and field for the Demons and Lady Demons. He even spent a few years as a high school basketball referee. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fund raiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff members and students combines with his warmth and sincerity to produce a tremendously effective university administrator.

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 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 openedin 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 ca

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

From the track to the top, Maggio has NSU in his blood

For his college coach, his teammates on the Northwestern State cross country and track teams, and for the athletes he coached at NSU, seeing Chris Maggio named the university’s 19th president seemed inevitable. Dr. Maggio was formally introduced May 8, 2017, as president at his alma mater, where he’s spent 33 of his 36 years since graduating from St. Mary’s Catholic School in Natchitoches. A lifelong resident of the city, Maggio was selected May 4 by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors after serving since January 1 as acting president. His self-described “fervor” for the university was evident throughout the selection process. It’s matched by his pride in his hometown. From the time he began his college days as a freshman on the cross country team and the first recruit for coach Leon Johnson in August 1982, Maggio’s future seemed obvious. “There’s always been from the early days, kind of a standing joke with Chris,” said Johnson, 77. “We’d say, ‘someday you’re either going to be president of the university, or mayor of Natchitoches.’ I guess this way is ideal, because he can help two things he loves, NSU and Natchitoches, and it’s a perfect fit. “All these years, from athlete, to coach, and as he’s advanced in different positions at the university, he’s been phenomenal,” said Johnson. “I knew he was intelligent, but I didn’t know how intelligent he was. “I did know he wouldn’t be beaten on effort,” said Johnson. “One of the most dedicated, hard-working distance runners I’ve ever coached.” Maggio was part of Johnson’s first championship team in his 31 seasons as head coach, the 1985 Gulf Star Conference champs. Johnson’s most striking memory of Maggio’s running career for the Demons was in the biggest venue for the sport, 100,000-seat Memorial Stadium in Austin, with a crowd approaching 40,000 watching as Olympians took to the track against many of the best collegiate competitors, and relay teams from throughout the country. “It’s the 4x800 relay at Texas, in that environment, and Chris is our leadoff man. Runners kept jumping the gun. There were seven restarts before getting that race underway. I asked him after the race, after eight starts, how did he keep his composure? “He told me, ‘Coach, I was in the moment. That’s all it was, I was in the moment.’ He was so focused and refused to be distracted with all that was going on, that had runners from almost every other team jumping early,” recalled Johnson. When given the chance to hire a full-time assistant coach in 1988, Johnson quickly made his second offer to Maggio. It launched an ongoing string of 29 years on the university staff for the new president. What made it a logical hire for Johnson? “His knowledge of distance running, his ability to relate to the kids, and his dedication to track and field, and to Northwestern. He said, ‘Coach, I’d love to be your assistant.’ “He progressed as a coach and became more knowledgeable. He studied the sport. He was such a competitor. He wasn’t going to take ‘no’ for an answer in recruiting,” said Johnson. “Of all the coaching staff, he’d be the first to hit the track and he’d be doing the little things coaches had to do, like pick up trash, sweep out the dressing room, and he’d enjoy doing it. He’s a unique individual, has no ego whatsoever, and will do anything to contribute.” One of his greatest recruits and success stories as a coach at NSU is N-Club Hall of Fame distance runner Marylyce Walsh Cox. She still holds three school records

2018 NORTHWESTERN STATE SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

and finished third in the 1991 USA Junior Cross Country Championships. “The reason I came to Northwestern State was Coach Maggio, and I’ll always call him Coach,” she said. “He recruited me and said he would run with us. He promoted Natchitoches, was so proud of this town. He would get up early in the morning and run with us, or just run with me if I was training alone, if I was doing a long run. He’d be out there running or riding his bike, keeping me company and encouraging me, even protecting me from dogs that scared me. He always made sure I was safe and happy. “I had a lot of injuries, and he was so supportive of me, so patient with me, making sure I got good medical care and rehab. Above all, he was always sincerely concerned about my well-being, and it was the same with every athlete he coached here. The most important thing was if I was OK physically, mentally and emotionally, and then how was I doing academically,” said Cox, a successful attorney in Houston. One of the fundamental assets of NSU’s new president is his willingness to extend relationships endlessly past the point when students, including his former athletes, finish their days on campus. “He is truly one of the genuinely good people on this planet,” she said. “I’m so appreciative for what he did to help me become a better runner, a better student, a better person, and I owe him and Northwestern State so much for the impact on my life. I’ll forever be grateful.” Now Cox, her husband Erik (also a NSU alumnus) and their kids eagerly anticipate any chance to see him when they visit campus, or when he’s in Houston. His sincerity, his passion and his selfless approach make him a magnetic personality. “We’ve seen him progress because of his love for this school, the love for the students, and the love for alumni, myself included. Chris Maggio has never met a stranger,” she said. “He makes you feel so welcome, so important, and he always asks about our kids, how we’re doing in our lives. He’s just so concerned about everyone else.”

Jerry Pierce

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

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

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

Entering his 23rd year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke is highly regarded far past the 318 area code due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan and avid fan of all Cleveland pro sports teams, has been the Demons’ athletics director since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/ Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution, and is believed to be the longest-serving AD in state history. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship-caliber teams in a dozen of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two decades as athletic director include 42 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 68 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-six NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or other postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone over $8 million in improvements in the past few years, including the following - $1 million of enhancements to Turpin Stadium’s video board and sound system due before the 2017 home opener; a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; a $500,000 softball grandstand project; and a $600,000 upgrade of chairback seating at Turpin Stadium for the 2016 football season. Plans for a track and field locker room, women’s tennis locker room, strength and conditioning annex to the Athletic Fieldhouse and a baseball operations building are all on the drawing board. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2017-18. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” has generated an influx of outright and deferred gifts that have the athletic scholarship endowment teetering at the $2 million mark. In addition, overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships cracked $2 million for the second straight year. Competitively, milestones continue. One of the biggest under Burke: NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Anchors of the department are current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; softball coach Donald Pickett, and track and field coach Mike Heimerman, a trio with nearly 50 combined years on staff at NSU. Three former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure have become NSU head coaches, including second-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier, who just led NSU to its first Southland Conference baseball tournament title in just his second year. Numerous Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Former baseball coach John Cohen is beginning his first full year as AD at Mississippi State. Over 100 more former NSU student-athletes, coaches and support staff members, most of them here with Burke as AD or assistant AD (1986-92), are working in college athletics at some level. Former Demons are head coaches in the SEC, Big XII, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, Ohio Valley, SWAC, Big XII, Big Sky, Sun Belt, Atlantic Coast and Southland Conferences. Five others hold Associate AD positions in the SEC, PAC 12, Big East and American Athletic conferences. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Wisconsin-Whitewater), Jason Horn (Xavier-NO) and Adam Jonson (LSU Alexandria) are now athletics directors, while Kurt Gulbrand is senior associate AD for development at Tennessee and Jodie Libadisos is associate AD for student-athlete enhancement at South Florida. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. Tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Just in the past five 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 totals 5,000 hours annually. The Southland Conference created the “Southland Strong” Community Service award to recognize the

2018 NORTHWESTERN STATE SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE

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 and 2017-18. 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 February 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. Six 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 earned an undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech and will complete her graduate studies at UL Lafayette in December. She began a career in public relations and marketing this summer.
