A program-high 10 games were televised on WEIU-TV in 2008-09 and the Panthers also played on ESPNU and Comcast Sports South. Should the Panthers host a first-round game in the OVC Tournament, that contest may also be carried by WEIU-TV, as it has been the last two seasons. WEIU-TV games can be seen live in several media markets across Eastern, Central and Southern Illinois as well as Western Indiana. WEIU-TV can also be accessed as a local DISH network channel in those same markets. Women’s basketball will also be featured prominently on the OVC’s multi-media website, www.ovcsports.tv, this season. Fans can watch all EIU home games and road OVC contests live on their computer via an on-demand webcast. Lastly, WEIU-FM (88.9) will once again broadcast all EIU women’s basketball regular-season and postseason games. An Internet stream of the audio is available at www.weiufm.com.

B rady S allee 6th Year
A. BRADY SALLEE’S FILE
EDUCATION: Thomas More College (Crestview Hills, Ky.) B.A., 1993 COACHING Résumé (SEASONS): April 2004 - Hired as head coach at Eastern Illinois University 2003-2004: Assistant coach, East Carolina University 1996-2002: Assistant coach, Kent State University 1994-1995: Assistant coach, Idaho State University 1990-1993: Student Assistant coach, Thomas More College PERSONAL: Married to the former Mandy Nance Daughters: Avery and Taryn Pictured (Left-Right): Brady & Mandy with their daughters Avery & Taryn.

When Brady Sallee took over the Eastern Illinois women’s basketball program in April 2004 he understood the challenge ahead. Since day one Sallee began steering the program in the direction he wanted to take. “Our challenge is to turn Eastern Illinois into a championship caliber program. Once I saw the resources available I thought we can make this happen,” Sallee says. “Whatever happened in the past is not any concern. From April 23, the day I was hired, our attitude has started to change. I want us to keep moving towards that attitude it takes to win championships.” In 2009, Sallee graduated his first EIU recruiting class that together was the driving force behind a program resurgence. In the last two seasons, the Panthers have compiled 43 victories and made back-to-back appearances in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship game. The memorable 2009 campaign was highlighted by 24 overall victories and a 20-game home win streak that ranked as high as fourth nationally. Those 24 wins were a program-high in the Division I era (1983-present) and one shy of the school record. Eastern went 14-1 at Lantz Arena in 2008-09, winning its first 13 home games of the season. After entering the year with a seven-game home win streak, the Panthers won a program-record 20 straight games at Lantz before the streak finally came to an end with an overtime loss in late February. Only Connecticut (36), Maryland (31) and Stanford (26) had longer home win streaks when EIU’s was snapped. Eastern went 12-2 over the final six weeks of the season. Both losses were decided in overtime. Unfortunately, EIU’s 24 overall victories were the most among teams that were not invited to a national postseason tournament. The Panthers once again established a number of new records in 2009. Rachel Galligan closed out her stellar career by breaking the program’s single-season and all-time scoring records. She was named First Team All-OVC for the third straight year, becoming the first player in program history to be a three-time First Team All-Conference honoree. She was also selected as a WBCA Region Four All-American finalist. Her all-around excellence as a student-athlete landed her among the 10 finalists nationally for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. With five Panthers connecting on at least 15 3-pointers, EIU made 180 as a team to establish a new program record. Eastern’s 2,231 points were the most in the Division I era and the single-season blocked shots record was eclipsed for the second year in a row. Eastern emerged as the best all-around defensive team in the league, ranking tops in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense, 3-point field goal percentage defense and fewest rebounds allowed per game. With Galligan and Megan Edwards being the individual league-leaders in field goal and 3-point percentage, respectively, the Panthers also topped the conference in both shooting categories. In the classroom, EIU has achieved unprecedented success the last four seasons. Eastern has captured four consecutive OVC Academic Achievement Awards for women’s basketball, posting the highest percentage of players on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll in the conference. The Panthers’ 3.423 team GPA in 2008-09 was ninth best in the country. Among the WBCA Academic Top 25, EIU ranked seventh nationally (with a 3.475 team GPA) in 2007-08 after finishing 10th in the country (3.442 GPA) a year earlier. A second-place finish in the final OVC standings and an appearance in the league tournament championship game highlighted the 2008 breakthrough season. Eastern won 19 games and scored 2,117 points, both high-water marks in the program’s OVC era (1997-present) prior to 2008-09. The Panthers ranked seventh nationally in free throw percentage en route to breaking the program’s singleseason records for makes, attempts and percentage. Eastern was also 20th nationally in 3-point field goal percentage. To reach the championship game of the OVC Tournament, EIU knocked off top-seeded Southeast Missouri – the two-time defending tournament champs – in the semifinals, winning 52-40. The Panthers held SEMO to 11 field goals, the fewest ever in an OVC Tournament game. The 40 points, meanwhile, represents EIU’s top defensive effort against a Division I opponent in the program’s OVC era. That victory not only sent the Panthers to their first-ever OVC Tournament title game but also gave EIU at least one victory against every league foe in 2007-08. Eastern’s offensive excellence highlighted the 2007 season. Led by the OVC’s top-scoring tandem (Rachel Galligan and Jessica Huffman), the Panthers were one of the top scoring teams in the nation and posted the program’s first 2,000-point season since 1990. With freshman Ashley Thomas and sophomore Ellen Canale ranking third and fifth on the team in scoring, respectively, four of the team’s top five scorers were underclassmen. Huffman broke nine EIU freshman records and followed in Galligan’s footsteps by winning OVC Freshman of the Year honors. Sallee’s 2006 team relied heavily on the contributions of freshmen yet still rewrote the EIU record book. The Panthers were the only Division I team in the nation that featured three freshmen who had started 25-plus games. Edwards and Canale started every game in their inaugural seasons as Panthers while Galligan (25 starts) took home OVC Freshman of the Year honors. She became the first player to win an individual award in the program’s OVC era. Galligan’s single-season record 61 blocked shots, which ranked her sixth nationally among freshmen, were the primary reason why EIU also set a new single-season team record for blocks. The Panthers played their best in December and January, posting a 9-7 record. Eastern matched

Our Choice
Panther Basketball Media Guide aaa Head Coach Brady Sallee its best-ever OVC start (4-1) and won six straight home games during the first two months. Sallee’s tenure at Eastern started strong in the closing months of 2004. The Panthers posted a 7-4 nonconference record, the best mark by an EIU team since joining the OVC. Eastern also won each of its five non-conference home games and finished with a winning record at Lantz Arena for the first time since the 199798 campaign. The Panthers made 172 3-pointers in 2005. And for the first time in school history, four different EIU players made 30-plus 3-pointers. Sallee is the OVC’s Women’s Basketball Coaches Association DI Conference Captain and represents the league’s coaches as it relates to legislative issues and continued growth of the game. As a member of the USA Today/ESPN Board of Coaches from 2007-09, he voted in the weekly Top 25 Coaches’ Poll. The sixth head coach in EIU history, Sallee was previously the recruiting coordinator at three NCAA Division I programs, bringing in high-caliber players each time to assist the turnaround. Prior to being hired at EIU, he spent two years as the top assistant at East Carolina, helping the Pirates to a 26-30 record. That was a significant improvement after winning just six games in 2002, the year before Sallee joined a new coaching staff. His first recruiting class ranked among the nation’s Top 50 according to the All-Star Girls Report. In 2004, ECU finished at .500 and narrowly missed out on a WNIT berth. For seven years he helped transform Kent State into a perennial MidAmerican Conference contender, winning five regular-season championships and three tournament titles. The Golden Flashes participated in the NCAA Tournament four of his seven years, and posted a combined record of 15556. Sallee also spent two years as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Idaho State. Two Bengal players earned Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year honors – one eventually becoming the Big Sky Player of the Year – and a third was All-Big Sky her freshman year. His proven track record as a recruiter and standout coach with Midwest ties seemed like a perfect fit with Eastern Illinois. The 39-year-old head coach also wants to give EIU a reputation. “People will know Eastern Illinois for how hard we play, whether it’s working hard in a press, half-court defense or during practice. That is what I want to hang our hat on when others talk about Eastern women’s basketball,” Sallee says. “In addition, I want our program known as a class organization. I want our players to be positive role models in the community and on campus.” Not only does Sallee stress discipline on the court, he requires it in the classroom as well. “My players will expect success. They will be held accountable for their classroom success, their work ethic and their social responsibilities. The players that will help lead the program back into the national spotlight will have the self discipline to excel in the classroom, in the Charleston community and on the basketball floor.” A native of Lexington, Ky., Sallee graduated from Thomas More College in 1993, receiving a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He earned a baseball scholarship and was a four-year starting pitcher for Thomas More. Sallee finished his senior year with an 8-1 record and was voted the team’s Pitcher of the Year. While at Thomas More he served as a student assistant with the women’s basketball team. He recruited one player who eventually became the school’s all-time leading scorer and ranked among the NCAA Division III Top 20 scorers all four years she was at Thomas More. He and his wife Mandy have two daughters, Avery and Taryn.

Lee
Jackie Moore
Buchanan
Associate Head Coach Third Year Murray State (‘83)
Lee Buchanan is in his third year as a member of head coach Brady Sallee’s staff. Buchanan’s presence made an immediate impact on the program. The Panthers have posted a combined record of 43-22 during his two seasons on the bench, improving on a 10-19 mark in 2007. He spearheads the coaching staff’s preparation of opponent scouting reports and EIU game plans. The Panthers were the top defensive team in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2009, leading the league in in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense, 3-point field goal percentage defense and fewest rebounds allowed per game. After spending his first year at Eastern as an assistant coach, he was promoted to associate head coach in the summer of 2008. Buchanan brings a bevy of coaching experience to campus, having been the head coach at four different Division II or NAIA schools. He also spent one year (2002-03) as the associate head coach at the University of Southern Mississippi. While the head coach at Missouri-St. Louis from 2003-07, Buchanan brought his team to Lantz Arena for three consecutive seasons for a November exhibition game. He has also been a head coach at Pfeiffer University (Misenheimer, N.C.), Francis Marion University (Florence, S.C.) and Brescia University (Owensboro, Ky.). During his 19 years as a collegiate head coach, Buchanan’s teams have compiled a 353-204 record (.637), posting winning marks in 15 of those seasons. He has also led six squads to national tournament appearances, three each at the NCAA Division II and NAIA Division II levels. Buchanan enjoyed his greatest success at Brescia (1986-98) and FMU (1998-02). An NAIA Mid-South Region Coach of the Year honor in 1995 marked the first of four consecutive years that he claimed a notable award for his work on the sidelines. Brescia made three consecutive trips to the NAIA DII tourney, including an Elite Eight and No. 3 national ranking in 1997. He left Owensboro as the winningest coach (230-118) in school history. At FMU, his team was ranked among the NCAA DII Top 25 all four years. The Patriots ran the table in league play (16-0) in 1999 en route to winning the program’s first Peach Belt Conference title and also led the nation in 3-point percentage that year. He compiled a 92-29 record and led FMU to three consecutive Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA DII tourney before moving on to Southern Miss. “Lee’s résumé speaks for itself; I’m thrilled to be able to attract someone with his experience and success to EIU,” Sallee says. “The fact that he walks in the door with 350-plus wins under his belt was a huge factor, but what sold me from day one was Lee’s character. He and I have very similar philosophies on the way the game should be played and I believe he will make a huge impact on our program.” Buchanan and his wife Lisa are the parents of a son, Austin.
Assistant Coach Third Year Christian Bros. (‘05)
Jackie Moore is in her third year as a member of head coach Brady Sallee’s staff. Along with assisting in recruiting, Moore is in charge of travel arrangements and setting up team meals. On the court, she works primarily with the guards. The Panthers led the OVC in field goal and 3-point field goal percentage in 2009. Moore came to EIU fresh off a year-long internship with the Detroit Shock and Detroit Pistons. She was an All-Gulf South Conference honoree at Christian Brothers University, which is based in Memphis, and later played professionally for the Power Basket Tigers, a professional team in Austria. Moore played at Christian Brothers from 2002-05 before heading to Europe for her stint with the Tigers. As a sophomore, she helped lead CBU to a Gulf South Conference West Division title and appearance in the NCAA DII Tournament. She garnered All-Conference honors a year later. Moore worked some notable camps – including those sponsored by the University of Michigan, Richard Hamilton, Nancy Lieberman, and the Pistons and Shock – before beginning her internship with Palace Sports Entertainment in August of 2006. As a Brand Marketing and Year-Around-Hoops intern for the two Detroit professional basketball franchises, she performed a long list of duties at games, special events, camps, clinics and other promotions. She is a native of Windsor, Ontario, and earned her bachelor’s degree from Christian Brothers in May of 2005. “Jackie was someone who shot to the top of the candidate list quickly,” Sallee says. “She has shown a willingness to make sacrifices in order to be a college coach, and it was that aspect of her personality that reminded me of my start in college coaching. I was impressed with her eagerness and excitement about our program, and I believe she has a great future ahead of her.”

Quacy Timmons
Assistant Coach & Recruiting Coordintor Fourth Year Indiana (‘98)
Quacy Timmons, a veteran of the WNBA and former assistant coach at Indiana University and Austin Peay, joined head coach Brady Sallee’s staff in June of 2006. The 6-foot-5 Timmons naturally coaches the EIU post players. She also serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator. She came to EIU as Quacy Barnes but changed her name in September 2007 when she wed Desmond Timmons in Michigan. Desmond currently works for KBR, organizing and maintaining recreational centers for U.S. Military troops based overseas. “Adding Quacy to our staff was simply a home run,” Sallee says. “She is a true professional and the expertise she brought to our post play and recruiting efforts has proved to be invaluable. Quacy is a perfect fit for our program and I look forward to her and her son, TJ, being a part of our EIU family for a long time.” During her tenure at EIU, Timmons helped forward Rachel Galligan, a 2009 graduate, develop from the Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year into a three-time First Team All-OVC performer. Galligan broke EIU single-season and all-time scoring records as a senior after leading the OVC in scoring in 2008. Maggie Kloak also emerged as one of the top post players in the league the last two seasons. She enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2008, carrying the Panthers offensively in November and December while Galligan was injured, scoring in double-figures in six straight games. Other notable achievements by EIU post players have come from Marie Baker and Julie Lipperd. Baker scored nine straight points in a twominute span late in the first half of a December 2007 win against Tennessee State. A year earlier in a victory against Eastern Kentucky, Lipperd tied the program single-game field goal percentage record by connecting on all five of her attempts. Lipperd’s offensive contributions helped EIU withstand a furious EKU run and led to a 21-point counter punch. The Indiana graduate became the first Hoosier selected in the WNBA draft when she was picked 22nd overall by the Sacramento Monarchs in 1998. She also suited up for the Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury during her WNBA career and played professionally in China, Israel, Italy, South Korea and Turkey as well. In 2000 she led the Storm in blocked shots – averaging more than a block per game – while starting 23 of the squad’s 32 contests. She contributed a career-high 6.7 points per game that season. A two-time All-Big Ten selection as an upperclassman, including First Team honors as a senior in 1998, Timmons finished her career as IU’s all-time leader in blocked shots (269). She also ranks among the Hoosiers’ career Top 10 in points, field goal percentage, free throws made and rebounds. As a junior, Timmons blocked an IU record 95 shots, including a single-game high 10 in a win over Youngstown State. A year later she was named to the WNIT All-Tournament Team after leading the Hoosiers to a berth in the postseason semifinals. Following the completion of her professional playing career, Timmons returned to her alma mater in 2003 and spent two years as an assistant coach. A native of Benton Harbor, Mich., Timmons is the mother of a son, TJ, who continues to develop into an impressive young basketball player. She and Desmond also welcomed their first child, a girl, into their family in January 2009. They named her Taryn.

Panther Basketball Media Guide aaa 2009 Season Recap – Panthers Enjoy Memorable & Historic Season –
PREMIER PERFORMANCES
Twenty-four overall victories, a 20-game home win streak that ranked as high as fourth nationally and a second straight appearance in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament title game highlighted Eastern Illinois’ memorable 2008-09 season. The Panthers’ 24 wins were a program-high in the Division I era (1983-present) and one shy of the school record. Eastern (24-9, 15-5 OVC – second place) went 14-1 at Lantz Arena, winning its first 13 home games of the season. After entering the year with a seven-game home win streak, the Panthers won 20 straight games at Lantz before the streak finally came to an end in late February. Only Connecticut (36), Maryland (31) and Stanford (26) had longer home win streaks when EIU’s was snapped. Eastern went 12-2 over the final six weeks of the season. Both losses were decided in overtime. Unfortunately, EIU’s 24 overall victories were the most among teams that were not invited to a national postseason tournament. The WNIT did grant bids to a Southeastern Conference team with a 15-15 overall record and a Big 12 Conference team with a 4-12 league mark. The Panthers defeated Tennessee Tech and Tennessee State to reach the finals of the OVC Tournament for the second year in a row. However, EIU was upset by fifth-seeded Austin Peay in double overtime in the championship game. The Lady Govs beat the four, one and two seeds in less than a week during their miraculous run to the tourney title. Despite losing the championship game, EIU was still a part of one of the most memorable days in the history of OVC basketball. Both the women’s and men’s tournament title games at the Sommet Center in downtown Nashville on March 7 were decided in double OT. Eastern once again established a number of new records. Senior Rachel Galligan broke the program’s single-season and all-time scoring records. She was named First Team All-OVC for the third straight year and a WBCA Region Four All-American finalist. Her all-around excellence as a student-athlete landed her among the 10 finalists nationally for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. Galligan ended the season on a scoring tear, averaging 23.5 points per game on 69 percent shooting over the final eight games. Point guard Megan Edwards and Galligan started every game of 2008-09. Fellow senior Lindsey Kluempers saw her consecutive games played streak end at 101 after breaking her pinkie finger in the Dec. 13 win against IPFW. After missing only two games, she returned to the lineup and finished out the year as a starter. The 121 she games played during her career represents a new program record. Edwards was tops in the OVC in assist-to-turnover ratio the entire season. She led the team in minutes played by a wide margin and connected on 53 3-pointers, becoming just the fourth player in program history to make 50-plus triples in a year. She played the starring role in home wins against SMU (the eventual Conference USA regular-season champion) and rival Southeast Missouri. She was a perfect 6-of-6 from the field against SEMO. But practically every player among the regular rotation had at least one game where she emerged as the premier Panther. Ellen Canale willed EIU to a big road win a Morehead State on Feb. 12 with a career-high 19 points. Dominique Sims lit up Jacksonville State for 19 points, tying her personal-best, on 8-of-12 shooting in a nationally-televised game on ESPNU. Ashley Thomas scored 12 key points in the tourney semifinal win against TSU in her first significant action since returning from a back injury. Maggie Kloak posted a 20-point, 11-rebound double-double in a home win against Morehead, scoring 14 points in the final eight minutes of the first half. Kluempers hit clutch 3-pointers in home wins against Illinois-Chicago and Tennessee Tech, and helped EIU extend the tourney title game into overtime with another big triple in the final minute of regulation. Freshmen Chantelle Pressley and Pilar Walker provided energy off the bench all season, most prominently in the regular-season finale at Tennessee State. Both players scored nine points in the comeback win. With five Panthers connecting on at least 15 3-pointers, EIU made 180 as a team to establish a new program record. Eastern’s 2,231 points were the most in Division I era. The Panthers also broke the single-season blocked shots record for the second year in a row. Eastern emerged as the best all-around defensive team in the league, ranking tops in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense, 3-point field goal percentage defense and fewest rebounds allowed per game. And with Galligan and Edwards being the individual league-leaders in field goal and 3-point percentage, respectively, the Panthers also topped the conference in both shooting categories. Eastern had to bid adieu to its accomplished five-player senior class that spearheaded the program renaissance as upperclassmen, but returns eight letter-winners for the 200910 campaign. In addition, head coach Brady Sallee signed a five-player recruiting class in November 2008 that received national Honorable Mention recognition from BlueStar Basketball.

Panther Basketball Media Guide aaa 2010 Season Preview Consecutive successful seasons that produced a combined 43 victories have returned the Eastern Illinois program to a level of excellence it had not enjoyed in nearly two decades. The last two years have seen the Panthers emerge as team to be reckoned with in the Ohio Valley Conference, appearing in back-to-back conference tournament titles games. While the five-player senior class of 2009 that was the driving force behind the program renaissance has moved on having accomplished its goal of leaving a legacy, sixth-year head coach Brady Sallee remains as optimistic as ever. “I’ve looked at it as an exciting time in our program,” he says. “We’re finally in a situation where big-time players are leaving here and now the onus is on us as a coaching staff to make sure we have the answers behind them. I think we do have those answers. I think in any good program, you go through this. The good programs have the answers and maintain. In terms of our program during my tenure, this is the biggest year we’ve had.” At times overshadowed by their OVC Preseason Poll Team (1st Place Votes) Poll Points older teammates, this year’s fiveplayer senior class has been just as 1. Morehead State (9) 147 2. Austin Peay (6) 146 important to the program’s success 3. Tennessee State (4) 134 the last two seasons. As much as 4.

UT Martin 18 a year after them. Marie Baker, Maggie Kloak, Dominique Sims, Lauren Sturtevant and Ashley Thomas teamed up with last year’s seniors to give EIU 10 experienced upperclassmen in 2009. The result: a 24-win campaign and a 20-game home win streak that began in January 2008. As Sallee envisions it, the time has come for Baker, Kloak, Sims, Sturtevant and Thomas to get their well-deserved due. “Personally, I’m really excited for this group. A lot of it is because of the change of the guard we’re going through a little bit. I think we’ve got a very strong senior class; one that, even though they’ve at times had to play certain roles, they’ve all been more than capable of stepping up on their own accord and have done so throughout the years. I’m excited to see them let loose and look at this as their time to shine.” Each senior has gotten a taste of the spotlight during her career. Sims has started 58 of the 65 games since transferring to EIU from Panola College in Texas. She lit up Jacksonville State for a career-high 19 points in an ESPNU-televised game last season. While she is the team’s only returning starter, that’s not to say she’s the only current senior that has started during her career. Kloak has been arguably the top reserve post player in the OVC the last two seasons. And when Galligan was injured in the November and December of 2007, she got an opportunity to start 11 straight games. She scored in double-figures seven times during that stretch, including in each of her first six collegiate starts. In a 2009 season filled with memorable individual performances, Kloak’s 14 points in the final eight minutes of the first half en route to a 20-point, 11-rebound doubledouble against Morehead State certainly ranked among the Top Five. Thomas was a starter in 2007, twice winning OVC Freshman of the Week honors. The last two seasons she traded a chance at matching her first-year statistics for team success. Yet, even in a sixth-man role she enjoyed her memorable moments. Sidelined by a back injury for much of February 2009, her return gave EIU an offensive spark – scoring 12 key points – in the OVC Tournament semifinal victory against Tennessee State played on the big stage of the Sommet Center in Downtown Nashville. Her perfect shooting night in a 2008 victory against Austin Peay still ranks as one of the most impressive performances in Lantz Arena’s recent history. Baker has been productive when she has gotten her opportunities. Her nine points in the final two minutes of the first half helped EIU grind out a home win against Tennessee State in 2007. It was an important victory at the time, as the Panthers were still discovering how good they could be. Sturtevant has been versatile in the backcourt, seeing action at the point and wing. The 20-game home win streak began with an over-
10
time victory against Eastern Kentucky in 2008. It was Sturtevant that helped seal the win with three big free throws in overtime. Six weeks later, she was 5-of-6 at the line, as the Panthers beat Jacksonville State in Charleston and claimed a share of second place in the final OVC standings later that weekend. Sallee has sensed that his current senior class, his second recruiting class at EIU, has been eager to embrace the opportunities that this season presents for some time. “I think being the leaders of this team is something the majority of the seniors have wanted for so long, that now they’re both excited about it and comfortable with it. All five of them are poised and ready to show everybody that they’re more than able to lead this team to the places where our expectations are.” Just as was the case with their older teammates last year, they won’t have to do it alone. Sophomores Madeline Kish, Chantelle Pressley and Pilar Walker each got a chance to contribute during the race for the 2009 conference title. “The first thing I think about is the pressure our sophomores were thrown under in big games,” Sallee says. “Not only in championshiptype games, but in different venues; playing in games where the expectation was for us to win. They don’t know any other situation than winning. They’ve been the first class you can say that about. “Last year, we were fortunate that we were able to be able to bring them along not necessarily when we needed them, but when they were ready. I think that benefited them because they were put in situations where they could be successful. They didn’t have to go through the heartache of the players before them that had to be out on the floor and learn through their mistakes. I think that’s something they can benefit from.” Eastern’s five-player freshman class received national honorable mention recognition from BlueStar Basketball, an organization that evaluates and assesses recruiting classes. Together with the current sophomores, Mariah King, Bianca McGee, Sydney Mitchell, Ta’Kenya Nixon and Kelsey Wyss represent the future of the program. Sallee thinks it’s the most-talented class he has brought to Charleston. “Because of the amount of kids in this year’s freshman class, and the talent, it’s really exciting for me. From top-to-bottom, it’s as good as we’ve ever had. The talent is definitely as good as we’ve ever had. They’ll need to establish the work ethic and intangibles that made the last couple years so special. But in terms of their basketball skill, I think everyone we’ll see what I’m so excited about.” Eastern has enjoyed success and played for the right to represent the OVC in the NCAA Tournament the last two seasons. Even with one of the program’s most personable and accomplished senior classes having moved on, it’s far from a rebuilding year for Sallee and his coaching staff. The expectations in the Panthers’ locker room remain the same. “I think we’ve got a great mix of youth and experience,” Sallee says. “If we can get it to come together in the right way, we’re capable of doing everything that people have come to expect of our program.”

The 1987-88 season was one for the record books. That team, led by Barb Perkes (right) and Sheryl Bonsett (far right), was the first ever to qualify for the NCAA Division I Tournament. The Panthers, one year after losing the title game on a last second shot, came from 21 points down (68-47) with 12 minutes remaining to defeat Illinois State in Normal 80-79 for the Gateway Tournament championship. That gave Eastern an automatic bid to the NCAA Tourney. Perkes scored 20 of her 29 points in the second half, hitting 5-of-9 3-pointers over the final 12 minutes. Her biggest play came when she converted a steal at halfcourt into a game-winning lay-up with 11 seconds left. Bonsett scored 15 points in the win.
Eastern hosted the NCAA First Round Midwest Regional game against Colorado. Seeded 10th, EIU lost to the Buffaloes 7872. Perkes scored a game-high 20 points in front of 1,557 fans, the largest crowd ever to watch an EIU women’s basketball home game. Bonsett (pictured taking a shot versus CU) added 15 points, Lisa Tyler scored 11 and Anne Brown chipped

in 10. The Panthers cut the deficit to 5856 with six minutes remaining. However, Colorado made eight free throws over the final 1:04 to advance to the second round. Barb Hilke’s squad finished the year with 22 wins, matching the program high in the Division I era.
