Northwestern State softball aims to return to Southland Conference prominence by building a team that was a nod to its recent championship past -- power hitting with a deep pitching staff. All-Southland Conference selections Kaitlyn St. Clair and Cayla Jones will attempt to anchor a lineup that features both veteran and newcomer hitters with pop in their bat. Hayley Barbazon transitions to the outfield and will provide speed on the base paths. E.C. Delafield hopes to be a leader on a pitching staff that features veterans and newcomers. NSU hosts the SLC Tournament this year.

2019 PREVIEW

Northwestern State made its second straight trip to the Southland Conference Tournament and fifth in last six seasons after leading in the standings at the midpoint.

When Northwestern State softball coach Donald Pickett evaluates his 2019 roster, one word comes to mind – depth. After attempting to transition into more of a small-ball philosophy centered around base hits and base running, Pickett said his Lady Demons look more like the power-filled lineup that was the cornerstone of Northwestern State’s three consecutive Southland Conference titles from 2013-15. “We have been hampered in that the past couple of years,” said Pickett, who enters his 11th season in Natchitoches as the program’s career wins record holder at 267. “We did try to get faster and work on the short game stuff to be more consistent, but now we’re getting back to what we were when we were one of the top teams in the league. “We’re deeper with our power, and we can hit the ball into the gaps. A lot of times last year, we may have outhit a team, but we may not have been able to score more runs.” Not only does NSU have more power hitters, but the Lady Demons have more options in general at nearly every position. Fourteen letter winners return from a 28-win team that made its second straight SLC Tournament appearance, and the Lady Demons have its sights set on a high seed in 2019 with the tournament coming to Natchitoches. “We do have more options, and a lot of that has to do with us being a lot more healthy,” Pickett said. “The key is we want our kids to get better every day and be consistent. “We’ve put in a lot of time with each player this fall, and we certainly

are capable of improving our consistency this spring.” CATCHERS Pickett said his group of three catchers is the deepest NSU has ever been behind the plate during his tenure. Two-year starter Emma Hawthorne clubbed 33 RBIs as a sophomore, but she’ll be pushed by sophomore Codi Vernace and freshman Alexis Perry. Whomever wins the starting position, Pickett said the other two could find other spots on the field or in the lineup because of their bats. “What’s so great about those kids is that they can do a lot of other things,” Pickett said. “They are all working at first base and in the outfield. “They’ve been open-minded about it, and they are giving everything they’ve got to learn as much as they can about those positions. It makes a big difference for our team when you have kids doing whatever it takes to win, and they’ve done that.” Vernace provided pop with nine RBIs in 44 at-bats, while Perry is a twotime all-state catcher in Texas. INFIELDERS Reigning Louisiana Freshman of the Year Cayla Jones will aim for an encore performance as a sophomore second baseman. Jones was an NFCA All-Region First Teamer and an All-SLC performer after hitting .378 with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs. “The first thing is not to press, take what they give you,” Pickett said. “If (opponents) want to put Cayla on base, we just have to take it.

Northwestern State Softball

NSU has 14 letterwinners (5 upperclassmen) returning from its 2017 team. But seven of its nine sophomores (then freshmen) started at least 17 games this past season

“Cayla has confidence in her teammates to make the opponent pay. She can’t get frustrated by that, and I know she’ll take advantage of the opportunities she does get.” The left side of the infield has newcomers who are leading the race for the starting position. Sophomore shortstop transfer Nikki Skerlong was an All-American at the NJCCAA-D-II level at Hinds Community College with a .496 average, 53 RBIs and 56 runs scored. Junior Toni Hebert (54 career starts) will be a factor. Freshman Maggie Black is the front-runner at third base out of Grapevine, Texas. Sidney Harris was the primary corner in 2018, and Harris will compete at that spot and at first base. In the first base competition, Harris will be joined by any one of the three catchers and freshman Riley Cantrell among others. Harris delivered 26 RBIs despite missing several weeks with an injury. Cantrell has been a Max Preps All-American and all-state performer in Texas. She led the state in home runs as a junior. “Competition at so many positions has brought a little more focus to everything we’ve done,” Pickett said. “Now they do know there’s somebody behind them, and somebody that’s capable of helping us win. “Everybody knows that they have to bring consistency or they will be over there watching. Nobody can be satisfied or complacent, and it’s been a huge thing for us because they are pushing each other each day in practice.” OUTFIELDERS Junior Hayley Barbazon moves from first base to center field and will be counted upon to provide leadership in the outfield. She’ll have help in junior Kaitlyn St. Clair in left field. St. Clair got her chance to start midway through the conference season and hit her way onto the all-conference team. St. Clair had 12 of her 23 RBIs in 11 SLC starts. “St. Clair doing what she’s done goes a long way with her teammates,” Pickett said. “She’s accountable and dependable every single day.

“Barbazon is such a versatile player, and she grew a lot at center field this fall. We’re ready to see that confidence consistently from Barbazon because we know all the things she can do.” Right field will be a battle between junior Elise Vincent, the catcher Vernace and freshman Casey Irvin, who impressed in the fall. When pitcher E.C. Delafield isn’t in the circle, she could find a home in the outfield as well. PITCHERS After seasons in which the NSU pitching staff had only two or three real options, Pickett said this staff has as many as five arms that can be placed in a variety of situations. Pickett said the days of riding arms like Mikayla Brown and Micaela Bouvier are over. “The way softball is going, you have to pitch with a staff now,” Pickett said. “It’s like a baseball mentality now, and you have to keep teams off-balanced because offenses are so dynamic now. “We have pitchers who can throw meaningful innings now, and we’re very confident. We may not have to wait so long to make a change so we can try to get in front of those momentum changes.” Brown is a fifth-year senior who posted a 10-9 record in 2018, improving her career total to 41. Sophomore E.C. Delafield has made strides after compiling a 4-4 mark as a freshman. “Hopefully we’re in a situation where Brown doesn’t put so much pressure on herself to be perfect,” said Pickett of a pitcher who was the 2015 SLC Pitcher of the Year. “When you have just one or two arms you’re using a lot, sometimes they put so much pressure on themselves that they have to do it. “E.C. had a great fall, and we’re looking for big things from our two young pitchers (Bronte Rhoden and Sydni Larrieviere) and junior transfer Samantha Guile.” Guile, a Bossier City native, started two seasons at Southern Utah.

DONALD PICKETT

Head Coach 11th Season Overall (267-266-1) 11th Season at NSU

Donald Pickett became the Northwestern State softball’s all-time winningest coach toward the beginning of 2018’s 28-win season, his fifth winning season in the last six years and sixth overall. His 267 wins represents a turnaround at NSU that includes three Southland Conference titles (2013 and 2014 tournament championships and 2015 regular season title) as he guided the Lady Demons to two NCAA Tournaments. NSU has made six postseason trips in his 10-year tenure. In 2018, freshman Cayla Jones was selected to the NFCA All-Region First Team, only the third player in school history to earn that honor. Jones followed that with the All-Louisiana Freshman of the Year. Pickett is known for his offensive prowess, and his players own six career batting statistics and litter the top five charts. Kellye Kincannon captured three career hitting marks and shares another with Cassandra Barefield. Brittney Jones and Brittany Virgoe each own a category. Seven of Pickett’s last nine teams have had winning or even records after starting 5-45 in his first season, inheriting a program that had 10 wins in the previous campaign. Pickett rebuilt NSU softball into a perennial Southland Conference championship contender by winning three league titles between 2013-15. The Lady Demons won an SLC regular season title in 2015 and conference tournament championships with corresponding NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013 and 2014. The regular season conference title is NSU’s first since 2000. From 2013-15, NSU posted a 106-55 record (.658), the second-best winning percentage in any three-year window in program history. The 2015 team had the best conference season of any NSU softball squad, posting a 22-3 league record to finish 36-18. The top-seeded Lady Demons fell in the championship game of the conference tournament, preventing three straight NCAA appearances. Freshman pitcher Mikayla Brown was named SLC Pitcher of the Year, joined on the first-team all-conference list by redshirt freshman pitcher Micaela Bouvier, senior third baseman Brittany Virgoe, senior designated player Cassandra Barefield, sophomore first baseman Brittney Jones and sophomore outfielder Kellye Kincannon (SLC Softball Student-Athlete of the Year). For his efforts, Pickett was named SLC Coach of the Year for the second time (also winning in 2013). A total of 31 players have been selected to the All-Southland Conference teams with five and 18 All-Louisiana selections. In 2013 and 2014, NSU stormed to SLC Conference tournament titles with records of 40-15 and 30-22, respectively. In 2014, the Lady Demons appeared in a regional with No. 13 Baylor, Houston

REGIONALS

and Tulsa. NSU nearly knocked off Houston in a 7-6 loss. Nine Lady Demons were named to the All-Southland squads with six being selected for the All-Louisiana team. Tara McKenney and Kincannon became the first NSU players in more than 10 years to earn All-South Region honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. In 2013, Northwestern State found itself in similar circumstances. As they did in 2014, the Lady Demons took second place in the regular season after a hot finish to the season. The squad made an NCAA Tournament appearance in the Baton Rouge Regional and played a nail-biter against Super Regional qualifier UL Lafayette.

Head coach Donald Pickett has led NSU to three Southland Conference titles since 2013 -- two tournmaent titles (2013-14) and one regular season (2015).

‘98 ‘00 ‘02 ‘13 ‘14

Northwestern State Softball Pickett was voted Coach of the Year honors on the 2013 All-Louisiana softball team and five Lady Demons were included on the All-Louisiana Team. The 2013 haul of accomplishments included the best winning percentage in the program’s history (.727), the longest winning streak (11) since 1998, the fewest losses (15) since 1983 and the best 20-game start (16-4) since 1990. While restructuring the NSU softball program, he led the charge to provide a reconstructed Lady Demon Softball Complex. The stadium hosted the 2013 and 2015 SLC tournaments and will host in 2019. Before helping establish a new program at Memphis (2006-08) as an assistant, he worked at a pair of highly successful programs in Tennessee-Chattanooga (2001-05) and Chattanooga State Community College (1998-2000). Pickett helped UT-Chattanooga to three NCAA Tournament appearances and the brink of a Women’s College World Series berth. At Chattanooga State, Pickett was part of a staff that led the team to three top-five finishes in the NJCAA along with three regional and conference championships. Working for five seasons under coach Frank Reed at Chattnooga, Pickett helped the Mocs advance within one win of the World Series. The Mocs had an overall 210-126 record while picking up three Southern Conference championships before Pickett joined coach Wendy Thees at Memphis following the first year of softball for the Tigers. Also serving as assistant to Reed at Chattanooga State CC for three seasons, Pickett helped post a 151-27 record, including a 62-3 mark in 2001. A year earlier, Pickett was part of the National Fastpitch Coaching Staff of the Year, and in 2002, Pickett was part of the Chattanooga State team that was inducted into the Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame. A 2005 Chattanooga graduate, Pickett is regarded as an excellent recruiter whose expertise in coaching, hitting and defense is recognized nationally. In Pickett’s first season as assistant coach, the 2001 Lady Mocs opened the season with back-to-back no-hitters and knocked off top-25 teams in Ohio State and Baylor, rolling to a 44-15 record while never dropping more than two games in a row. The Lady Mocs posted two upset wins over top-seeded and No. 12 ranked Florida Atlantic in the NCAA Regionals. UTC then just missed capturing a berth in the World Series after narrow

losses to Georgia Tech and Florida State. Donald is married to Paige Pickett. Daughter Ainsley and son Jacob were both born in Natchitoches.

The freshman walked two and struck out two in seven innings. She’s the first freshman to throw a no-hitter since Crista Miller in 2001. Bouvier took a no-hitter into the seventh against UIW in 2018.

REGIONALS

Crista Miller (2001-2004) threw a total of five no-hitters during her career at Northwestern State. Included in those five were four perfect games. Miller had a perfect game in each of her four seasons at NSU.

A LOOK BACK AT 2018

NSU qualified for its second straight Southland Conference Tournament in 2018. The Lady Demons host in 2019 and are aiming for a high seed at Lady Demon Diamond.

After missing the 2016 Southland Conference Tournament, Northwestern State re-established itself as a postseason participant with its second straight conference tournament. The No. 7 seed Lady Demons knocked off No. 6 Abilene Christian and ace Hannah Null before falling to No. 3 McNeese and No. 4 Southeastern to end its season. NSU (28-25, 14-13 SLC) had its fifth winning season in six years in 2018, but the Lady Demons felt it could have been even better. Pickett and Co. started conference play with a sweep of Lamar after the Cardinals swept NSU the previous season. The Lady Demons went on the road to take two at Abilene Christian before sweeping Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and sat in first place (8-1 SLC) through nine games. But McNeese took two in Natchitoches to bring NSU back to the pack. The Lady Demons rebounded by winning the series at a feisty Incarnate Word, moving into a tie for the conference lead with a home series against Southeastern. NSU was swept by SLU before dropping all three at Nicholls, falling to the seventh slot, where they finished. The Lady Demons entered conference play 12-7, including five wins in the Lady Demon Classic. Three non-conference wins against Stephen F. Austin (No. 2 seed) also highlighted the out-of-conference slate. In the Natchitoches Historic District Development Commission’s Lady Demon Classic, NSU bested Memphis, SFA and Jackson State (three times) in

an event that is growing in popularity. Donald Pickett became the program’s all-time winningest coach during the classic, surpassing Rickey McCalister and now has 267 wins. Freshman Cayla Jones excelled, earning All-Louisiana Freshman of the Year honors and NFCA First-Team All-Region honors, just the third Lady Demon to accomplish that in program history. Jones hit .378 with 10 home runs , 42 runs scored and 36 RBIs. Jones ranked No. 52 nationally with a .714 slugging percentage. The second baseman was hitting .400 for most of the season before a slight slump dropped her to .378. Sophomore utility player Kaitlyn St. Clair joined Jones on the All-Southland Conference squad after taking advantage of a mid-year chance to start. She had 12 of her 23 RBIs in 11 SLC starts. St. Clair shined in her limited opportunities in the first year-and-a-half of her career, but an injury allowed her to break into the starting lineup at UIW and never leave. St. Clair played a huge role in helping NSU take the final two games at UIW to win that series and keep NSU’s regular-season title hopes alive. The 2018 season was the final time for pitchers Micaela Bouvier and Mikayla Brown to share the circle. Bouvier (14-11) finished her career seventh in wins (43) and seventh in winning percentage (.597). Brown finished her redshirt junior season at 41-27, ranking sixth alltime with a .603 winning percentage.

Northwestern State Softball

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. Those traits, along with U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N Dr. Maggio’s deep roots and President: far-reaching relationships, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dr. Darlene Williams moved up to run the University of Louisiana System, which includes Northwestern and eight other state universities. Maggio, 54, is a lifelong resident of Natchitoches and long-time faculty and staff member at Northwestern State. He is the university’s 19th president since its founding in 1884, and the first one who is homegrown, along with the first to be a four-year athletic letterwinner as a Demon competitor. Maggio was named vice president for the student experience at Northwestern State 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 three 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 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. Maggio came on board the NSU staff in 1988 as assistant track and field coach, then became head women’s coach a year later. After a very successful five years in that capacity, in 1994 Maggio moved into administration as the fundraiser for NSU Athletics before quickly being snapped up to become the university’s director of admissions and recruiting. Maggio is a 1985 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern State. He won Gulf Star Conference All-Academic honors in track and field and helped the Demons win the 1985 GSC championship. As a senior, he was elected Mr. NSU by his fellow students. Maggio earned his master’s of education at NSU. He received a doctorate in developmental education from Grambling State University. His parents helped run a family business in Natchitoches. His father, Buddy, was honored as a “Natchitoches Treasure” in 2015 by the City of Natchitoches. As a young boy, Maggio became playmates with future Basketball Hall of Fame member Joe Dumars, whose home was near one of the Maggio’s stores. Dr. Maggio’s wife, Jennifer, was formerly on the NSU staff as Coordinator of Adult Education Initiatives. They have three children, Melanie, Scott, and Emily. Emily is a high school student at St. Mary’s Catholic School of Natchitoches, while her older siblings attend colleges outside of Natchitoches.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 53rd year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 28th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. At NSU’s 2018 Homecoming celebration Oct. 27, Pierce will be honored at the N-Club Hall of Fame ceremony, becoming only the second person to receive the “Leadership Award” from the organization of former Northwestern athletic letterwinners. Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and NSU Athletic Council one national championship. Jody Biscoe (Chair) Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already Angela Bolton Steven Boyd served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In Nick Forde (Student-Athlete) his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, Kimberly Gallow alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Frank Hall Dr. Chris Maggio in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties Sid Hall were his since the 1970s as he worked under six previous presidents as Chris Lyles Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA DiviJacqueline Manza (Student-Athsion I athletic status in 1977. lete) A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Rodrick McIntosh for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Dr. Jim Mischler legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Begona Perez-Mira went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Alexis Smith Ex-Officio Members and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Greg Burke In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dustin Eubanks to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau diRoxanne Freeman rector two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, Dr. Chris Maggio alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Kaitlyn McCanna He created, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Dr. Patrice Moulton Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity Dr. Vicki Parrish founded by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association in 1958. He estabJerry Pierce lished annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five decades Dr. Haley Taitano later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate nearly three decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of ceremonies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines.

Greg Burke Director of Athletics The Burke File

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

In the middle of 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

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.

LADY DEMON DIAMOND Since the renovated Lady Demon Diamond opened before the 2013 season, Northwestern State softball has felt right at home. Over the past six seasons, the Lady Demons have posted a 86-42 record at home, including a 54-30 record in Southland Conference play. NSU won the SLC Tournament in its friendly confines, and the Lady Demons will host another league event this season. The 1,000-seat stadium has a distance of 196 feet to its left- and right-field foul poles and 218 feet to center field. In Nov. 2012, The Diamond underwent a $466,000 renovation including the construction of a partially covered grandstand featuring chairback seating. A new press box and concession stand were built. That initiative was the latest in a series of facility improvements that included new Outfield Club seating, a refurbished club house and locker room, a new ticket booth, a new entrance and an outfield fence, backstop and netting.
