QUICK LOOK/TRADITIONS A Quick Look At JMU Location: Harrisonburg, Va. 22807 Enrollment: 19,800 Founded: 1908 (as State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg; became the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1914, the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg in 1924, Madison College in 1938 and James Madison University in 1977). The university is named for James Madison, the fourth president of the United States and primary author of the U.S. Constitution. Affiliation: State university of the Commonwealth of Virginia Academic Divisions: College of Arts and Letters, College of Business, College of Education, College of Integrated Science and Technology, College of Science and Mathematics, College of Visual and Performing Arts, The Graduate School, General Education Degree Programs: 109 (69 undergraduate, 31 master’s, 2 educational specialist, 7 doctoral) Full-time Employees: 2,500 (1,300 faculty and administrators; 1,200 staff) Campus: 112 major buildings on 721 acres Athletic Affiliations: National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Athletic Programs: 18 varsity sports (6 for men, 12 for women) Nickname: Dukes (in honor of Dr. Samuel P. Duke, second president of the University, 1919-1949).

Nicknames, Traditions JMU’s athletic teams use the nickname “Dukes” in honor of Dr. Samuel P. Duke, university president from 1919-1949. Men’s athletics began at JMU during Duke’s tenure (men first enrolled in the regular season in 1946 as day students.) Women’s teams were known by several names until “Duchesses” became prevalent in the early 1940s. That name was dropped in 1982 when all of JMU’s teams became “Dukes.” The school colors, purple and gold, were selected during JMU’s first session in 1909-10 from the colors used by the institution’s two literary societies, Lanier and Lee. The Lanier Society’s colors were violet and white and the Lee’s gray and gold. Violet soon was replaced by purple, which was easier to obtain for use for pennants and other decorations. The school mascot, a bulldog with a purple and gold cape and a crown, was adopted in 1971. The bulldog is the traditional pet of royalty such as a duke. “Duke Dog” entertains at JMU athletic contests and other university special events and also takes part in a variety of community activities and events. JMU also has used several living bulldogs as university mascots. Duke Dog won the “popular” vote during the 2004 Capital One Mascot of the Year competition, compiling an 11-0 record in head-to-head voting against other college mascots.

2012-13 JMU Basketball - 9
OUTLOOK Who’s Back #22 Tarik Hislop 5-7 Sr. Guard, 14.8 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 3.5 apg You’re stepping into the point guard position following the graduation of the CAA’s and JMU’s all-time leading scorer, two-time All-America Dawn Evans. That’s some BIG shoes to fill. But in an almost seamless transition Hislop didn’t miss a step as she guided JMU to the 2012 WNIT championship game. The three-year starter was voted her team’s MVP after leading the Dukes in scoring, assists, free throw percentage (78.0) and minutes played (1,335). She also added to her hardware collection as she was named to the WNIT All-Tournament Team, All-CAA Second Team and All-State (VaSID) Second Team.
#30 Nikki Newman 6-2 Sr. Guard/Forward, 5.8 ppg, 7.8 rpg She won the 2012 CAA Defensive Player of the Year honor. She led the Dukes in rebounding. The defensive powerhouse was also second on the team in blocked shots (1.4) and assists (2.7) and third in steals (1.6), earning her JMU team awards in three categories: defense, courage and hustle. But what may be most remarkable about Nikki Newman is her versatility. She’s likely the only player in JMU history to have played all five positions during her career, giving coach Kenny Brooks lots of options should he need them.
#20 Kirby Burkholder 6-0 Jr. Guard, 11.5 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 2.2 apg
Tarik Hislop
Freshman year: 31 points in 179 minutes. Sophomore season: Burkholder passed her freshman scoring output in game three and went on to win All-CAA Third Team and WNIT All-Tournament Team honors. Her dramatic scoring improvement from a 1.3 average to 11.5 is the highest increase in JMU history. No surprise, then, that Burkholder won the team’s most improved player honor. The Dukes’ secondleading scorer also led the team in steals (1.8) and 3-pointers (89), as well as more than tripled her rebounding average while increasing her assist average from 0.3 to 2.2.
#0 Jasmine Gill 6-1 Sr.-r Guard, 9.0 ppg, 4.7 rpg
Nikki Newman
In her first JMU playing season after transferring from Boston College, Gill set a school season record for games played by a junior, appearing in all 37 games while starting 29. She also chose a great time to tie her career-high scoring performance when she dropped 24 points on in-state rival Liberty.
#3 Toia Giggetts 6-0 So. Forward, 4.7 ppg, 4.9 rpg Giggetts had a whirlwind of a freshman season, starting off the year by breaking her nose on the first day of practice and finishing it by starting all six of JMU’s WNIT playoff games. She was runner-up for CAA Rookie of the Year and played a JMU freshman-record 36 games. And, yes, she played all season wearing a face mask.
Kirby Burkholder 2012-13 JMU Basketball - 10
OUTLOOK #21 Crystal Ross 6-3 So. Forward/Center, 1.8 ppg, 1.3 rpg Ross saw action in 29 of the Dukes’ 37 games as a freshman. She also made her mark in the JMU record books with six blocked shots at CAA foe Old Dominion. That tied the school freshman record and tied for the third-highest single-game blocks total in school history behind the school-record eight by Meredith Alexis and seven by current JMU assistant coach Jennifer Brown.
#25 Kanita Shepherd 6-3 Sr.-r Forward, 4.2 ppg, 3.0 rpg in 2010-11 Shepherd is back for year five, her final season with the Dukes. Prior to suffering a season-ending knee injury nine games into the 2010-11 season, she led the Dukes in blocked shots.
Who’s New #24 Jazmon Gwathmey 6-2 Fr.-r Guard Gwathmey was selected the 2011-12 CAA preseason Freshman of the Year by College Sports Madness. However, an injury suffered in preseason workouts slowed her development, and she opted to redshirt the season. She won state Player of the Year honors after leading Liberty High School to the Virginia group AA state championship in 2011.
#12 Precious Hall 5-8 Fr. Guard The three-time all-state player from Florida is coming off a senior season that saw her average 27 points and 10 rebounds a game. Hall, a McDonald’s All-American nominee at Maclay School, was ranked among the top 60 guards in the country by ESPN HoopGurlz.
#2 Destiny Jones 6-0 Fr. Forward Jones averaged 19 points per game and 12 rebounds as a senior at Archbishop McCarthy High School, where she was a two-time All-State First Team honoree and a McDonald’s All-American nominee for the Miami-area school. ESPN HoopGurlz ranked her the 24th-best forward in her recruiting class, and the Orlando Sentinel selected her 2012 Broward County Player of the Year.
#32 Angela Mickens 5-7 Fr. Guard Now here’s a stat line: 32 of her team’s 44 points, along with 10 rebounds, four assists and four steals. That’s what Mickens did to ensure her Robert E. Lee High School team came out on top in the 2012 state championship game after falling short the previous three years (twice runner-up and once a semifinalist). ESPN HoopGurlz designated the four-time All-State honoree as the No. 14 guard in the nation’s 2012 class. No surprise that Lee High School retired her jersey.
Who’s Waiting Lauren Okafor 6-3 Jr.-r Center, 4.4 ppg, 5.4 rpg Okafor comes to JMU by way of the Big East’s Providence College, where she played two full seasons for the Friars. She tallied a team-leading 35 blocks and ranked second in rebounding in 201112. Okafor will make her presence known during team practices while sitting out a year due to NCAA transfer rules.
Who’s Gone Lauren Whitehurst
Home Sweet Home JMU fans will have plenty of opportunities to see the Dukes at home or close to home this season. Seven of the Dukes’ 12 non-conference games will be played at the JMU Convocation Center. In addition, it’s only about an hour’s drive from Harrisonburg for fans to take in JMU’s season-opener at Virginia on Nov. 9. This is quite a contrast to last year, when between Nov. 21 and Jan. 2 JMU played only one home game in 43 days. Eight of the Dukes’ first 11 games in 201112 were on the road, and the JMU team traveled nearly 3,500 miles for those eight games. JMU enters this season riding a nine-game home winning streak. The stretch includes five victories in last year’s WNIT.
6-2 Forward, 7.9 ppg, 6.7 rpg In her senior season, the second-year starter set the Dukes’ season record for blocks when she stopped 66 opponents from seeing net. Her average 1.8 blocks per game led the team, and she won CAA All-Defensive honors. Also a consummate CAA All-Academic student during her playing days, Whitehurst continues to show her prowess in the classroom as a graduate student in psychological sciences at JMU. Set to graduate next May, she eventually plans to get her Ph.D. in clinical neuropsychology.
Kiara Francisco 5-10 Guard/Forward, 5.4 ppg, 2.9 rpg Francisco made 119 appearances in a JMU uniform and used her final season to help make a statement with the Dukes down the stretch. That included scoring 14 points off the bench in the WNIT championship game. Her senior performance was her best as a Duke and a rebound year after being plagued by injuries through most of the 2010-11 season.
Rachel Connely 6-4 Center, 1.3 ppg One of the tallest players ever to don a jersey for the Dukes, Connely will be remembered for her spirit and love of team. A four-year winner of the team’s “unselfish contribution” award, she worked hard for her teammates in 74 career games and in countless practice sessions.
Super Bowl Streak Kenny Brooks’ teams are undefeated (9-0) in games played on Super Bowl Sunday. This year’s Super Bowl opponent is William and Mary, on Feb. 3 at William and Mary Hall. (NOTE: The Dukes’ 2010 Super Bowl Sunday game against Drexel was postponed to Monday due to a snowstorm.)

OUTLOOK Former Teammates Together Again
Do You Know the Way to Cancún? The Dukes Do.
Senior Nikki Newman and junior Kirby Burkholder have only spent one year not playing together since the two were teammates on Turner Ashby High School’s varsity team in 2006-07. Newman was the Massanutten District Player of the Year at TA in 2009, and Burkholder won the same honor in 2008 and 2010. The two were members of the Knights’ 2009 state runner-up team. Prior to playing together at TA, Newman and Burkholder also played several years on the same AAU team. Freshmen Precious Hall and Destiny Jones both hail from the state of Florida, where they played on the same Florida Essence AAU team.
For the third time in the last five seasons, JMU will play in a tournament on the Riveria Maya area of the Yucatan Peninsula on the east coast of Mexico. This year the Dukes will play Wisconsin-Green Bay, Minnesota and Wichita State in the Cancún Challenge during Thanksgiving week. The tournament will be played at the Moon Palace Resort. In previous trips to Mexico to play in the Cancún Challenge, JMU has faced Eastern Michigan and Boston College (2008-09) and Iowa and Montana (2010-11).
Recruiting Class Rated #1 JMU’s freshman class is rated the nation’s top mid-major conference recruiting class by ESPN. The newcomers include 5-8 guard Precious Hall, 6-0 power forward Destiny Jones and 5-7 guard Angela Mickens. The ESPN website noted “with talent inside and out in this class, the Dukes are poised to continue vying for the title of best college program in Virginia.”
Offseason Nuptials Lindsay Smith, who has been a JMU assistant coach since 2009, is now Lindsay Smith Edmonds. The name change occurred in August, when she married Ulrick Edmonds. If that name sounds familiar to Dukes fans, it’s because he is the JMU football team’s recruiting coordinator and running backs coach.

2012-13 JMU Basketball - 16
PLAYERS Outtakes with Kanita Shepherd Q: What was your favorite childhood cartoon to watch growing up? KS: I enjoyed watching a lot of cartoons when I was younger. Most of them air late at night on “Teen Nick,” so I like to stay up and relive the “good ole days”! Such as: “Hey Arnold,” “Rugrats,” “Rocket Power,” “Doug,” and “AAhh Real Monsters.” Q: Which animated character does coach Brooks remind you of? KS: Bugs Bunny from “Looney Tunes.” He always has a scheme/plan (tends to always outthink his competitors); he is very witty and can be sarcastic. He can also be slightly goofy and has a “Lola Bunny” in his life (his wife, Chrissy). He is a signature character on “Looney Tunes” and coach Brooks has been around JMU forever. Q: Which school in the CAA has the toughest environment to play in? KS: I may be biased but as long as JMU is in the CAA the answer is always going to be us! Q: What’s the biggest life lesson you’ve learned from coach Brooks? KS: “On To the Next One” by Jay Z, and Kenny Brooks. When you’re down you’re not out! You’ll have your ups and downs during a season, but with the encouragement from Coach Brooks we will keep fighting. Just like we fought our way to back-to-back CAA championships, two NCAA appearances, and the WNIT championship game! Q: What would you say to someone who’s considering coming to JMU? KS: JMU is not for the faint of heart; we go hard here! I’m proud to be a Duuuukkkeee!!!! Q: What are you going to miss most about JMU? KS: The loving environment of the fans, the students, my teammates, my sorority, the professors, just the people overall. This is by far one of the best institutions to attend! Q: What song is on “repeat” on your iPod right now? KS: “I Need You Now” by Smokie Norful, and Kirk Franklin’s “He’s Able” Q: How would you describe our coaching staff? KS: Hilarious! I always find myself laughing at them… but at the same time they are dedicated to preparing us for the season, and all of them are competitors which I love! I love their drive. Q: Describe how it felt to play in the WNIT and make it to the WNIT championship game last season. KS: Although I was unable to contribute physically, I still enjoyed the electrifying crowds and all of the love and support. We were able to be a part of great things that will forever be remembered in the history of JMU women’s basketball, and that is a blessing! Q: What was the best movie you saw last and why? KS: I definitely have to go with “The Avengers” and the last Batman movie! However, I can’t wait until November 16 for the last “Twilight” movie --”Team Jacob.” Q: What is your funniest Coach Brooks moment? KS: I have to go with him dancing in the locker room… he is so “old school” with his two-step and pop-locking! Q: What is your team goal for this season? KS: My team goal is to be more successful than we were last year. We can’t strive for excellence if we are content with dwelling on last year’s success. I love my team because we are all competitors and none of us do well with complacency. I look forward to another great season this year!

PLAYERS Outtakes with Nikki Newman Q: What was your favorite childhood cartoon to watch growing up? NN: I don’t remember watching cartoons… I watched a lot of Disney movies!!! Q: Which animated character does coach Brooks remind you of? NN: The little kid from “The Boondocks”… Riley Freeman (that’s what Tim Clark said) Q: Who is the worst singer on the team? NN: Toia (Giggetts) is pretty bad… Q: What makes JMU unique from other schools? NN: Everyone is very personable and welcoming. The atmosphere around JMU is great and it just feels like “home.” Q: How would your teammates describe the way you dress? NN: Relaxed! I like to be comfortable when I go out. Q: Who’s the funniest person on the team? NN: Everyone has their funny moments… but Kirby (Burkholder) takes the cake! Q: Which school in the CAA has the toughest environment to play in? NN: JMU… DUH! We have the best fans around. I don’t know why anyone would want to come play here. Q: What’s the biggest life lesson you’ve learned from coach Brooks? NN: The list goes on and on… He has definitely helped me become the person I am today. You can go to him and talk about anything and he will normally have something positive or real to say to you! Q: What would you say to someone who’s considering coming to JMU? NN: You will love it! It is a home away from home and you will definitely enjoy your time here. Q: What are you going to miss most about JMU? NN: Everything… I don’t know why anyone would ever want to leave here. I wish I had four more years. It’s great to be around people who care about you and want the best for you every single day. Q: How would you describe JMU’s coaching staff? NN: The best! They are always there when you need them no matter what it is. A shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with, having serious talks. Anything you need. They are willing to do what they can to make it happen! Q: Describe how it felt to play in the WNIT and make it to the WNIT championship game last season. NN: I don’t think words can describe the feeling. From the beginning, WNIT was like a completely new season and everyone had the same mindset.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
JMU 98, Old Dominion 95, OT
“Anyone who knows me knows this is my dream job. This is not a job for me, this is something special. I feel like I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.”
It was Kenny Brooks’ refuse-to-lose attitude that inspired his players to overcome a 16-point deficit and post a thrilling 98-95 overtime win over league-leading Old Dominion.
After guiding the Dukes to 16 wins in 26 games as an interim head coach, the 34-year-old Brooks earned the endorsement of JMU Director of Athletics Jeff Bourne.
“The whole time we were down, Coach Brooks just kept telling us to believe -- believe it was going to be a special night. The encouragement he gave us kept us confident, kept us from dropping our heads,” said senior Shanna Price.
“I reflected back on the season and his performance as a coach, his ability to capture the energy of players,” Bourne said. “I think he did a great job with it. This is a very positive day for JMU athletics. He will take this program to where we envision it going in the future.”
Feb. 9, 2003 - Believe It!
ODU had led 39-34 at halftime and was ahead by as many as 16 points on three occasions. The Monarchs held a 72-56 advantage with 5:39 to play in regulation.
Jan. 6, 2004 Freshman Class Leads Comeback Win JMU 71, Charlotte 64
With ODU ahead 7865, Lynn Liburd nailed back-to-back three-pointers at 3:12 and 2:45, then point guard Jess Cichowicz stole the ball and fed Liburd for a layup at 2:04. Liburd’s eight points began a 20-7 JMU scoring run that included seven points by Price and five by Cichowicz. ODU led 85-77 after a three-point play by Okeisha Howard with 1:07 remaining in regulation. Cichowicz’s three-point play at 1:01 and a three-point play by Price at 0:50 cut the margin to 85-83. After ODU junior Monique Coker missed two foul shots with 28.6 seconds left, Price hit a six-foot jumper with 7.6 seconds on the clock to send the game to overtime tied at 85. Price scored a career-high 34 points and tallied six of the Dukes’ points in overtime, when JMU outscored the Monarchs 13-10.
March 21, 2003 - Living Out a Dream “This is my dream job.”
After this game, you knew for sure Kenny Brooks’ freshman class was going to be something special. The Dukes’ first-year players scored 41 of JMU’s 46 second-half points as their team rallied from a 16-point second-half deficit to beat Charlotte 71-64. Freshman Lesley Dickinson scored a game-high 20 points and classmate Shirley McCall added a career-high 19 points to pace JMU to the victory. McCall jump-started the Dukes early in the second half. With JMU trailing 50-34 at 15:26, McCall scored six points in a 9-0 run that cut the margin to seven (50-43).
That was what Kenny Brooks told a gathering of news media and fans at the news conference announcing his hiring as the Dukes’ head coach.
After a Charlotte layup, JMU trimmed the lead to four (52-48) on Dickinson’s three-point play followed by McCall’s driving layup.
“I’m very fortunate today that I’m actually living out my dream,” Brooks said. “It’s a wonderful day for me and my family… it’s a very special day for me. James Madison has given me so much, and I’m glad to give back in any way that I can.
The 49ers then got their lead back to eight with a 6-2 scoring spurt that gave them a 58-50 lead at 7:28.
2012-13 JMU Basketball - 37
Shirley McCall
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS But JMU scored the game’s next 18 points, led by eight points by another freshman, Meredith Alexis. That gave the Dukes an insurmountable 68-58 lead with 1:04 left on the clock. Dickinson scored 16 and McCall 13 in the second period. Alexis finished with a then-career-high 17 points, 13 of which came in the second half, and had a game-high 12 rebounds. “I was very proud the way we responded at halftime,” Brooks said. “We could have very well just retreated and played back on our heels, but we didn’t. We stood our ground and started attacking.”
Feb. 11, 2005 - Benvenuto’s Layup Sends Game to Overtime JMU 73, Hofstra 71, OT It was a career night for Lesley Dickinson, but it was teammate Andrea Benvenuto who made sure the evening ended on a winning note.
Drexel’s Jackie Falson was fouled as she Meredith Alexis (left) drove to the basket with 1.4 seconds remaining. She made only the second free throw, and Alexis was then fouled and scored JMU’s final point with eight-tenths of a second left. McCall led the Dukes with 13 points, and Alexis finished with 12 points, all scored in the second half. Andrea Benvenuto added 11 points, including a 16-footer with one second on the shot clock with 1:36 left.
With Hofstra ahead 60-58 after hitting two free throws with 5.8 seconds remaining, Benvenuto drove the length of the court and scored on a layup as time expired to force overtime. Benvenuto’s score capped a comeback in which JMU outscored Hofstra 16-9 in the final 6:29 to overcome a seven-point deficit.
JMU’s Shirley McCall was fouled on the ensuing inbounds play. With eight seconds on the clock she made the first but missed the second of a 1+1 foul shot for a 51-49 JMU lead.
“We gave it our all. We didn’t hold anything back,” said coach Kenny Brooks. “We left everything out on the court, and as a result we got a victory.”
Andrea Benvenuto
March 2, 2006 - Dukes Complete 13-0 Home Season
Dickinson finished with a career-high 34 points, including two free throws with 2.3 seconds left in overtime to clinch the win.
Feb. 10, 2006 Dukes Rally for Win at Daskalakis Center
JMU 75, Old Dominion 68 In a game with a wild ending the Dukes beat Old Dominion 75-68 to lock up the number two seed for the upcoming CAA Tournament. JMU players hit five of six free throws in the final 12.4 seconds as the Dukes completed a perfect (13-0) home season.
JMU 52, Drexel 50
The Purple and Gold led 70-65 after a dramatic play that ended with a layup by the Dukes’ Tamera Young with 24 seconds to play. With Lesley Dickinson trapped by a double-team in the backcourt, she threw the ball ahead to Meredith Alexis. Alexis managed to tip the ball to Young, who then raced down court and scored.
JMU’s first-ever win at one of the league’s toughest venues was a nail-biting come-from-behind victory with a lot of drama. Meredith Alexis scored nine of the Dukes’ last 13 points as her team escaped with a 52-50 win at Drexel’s Daskalakis Center. It was JMU’s first victory in five visits to Drexel. The Dukes trailed 31-18 at the 19:01 mark of the second half and did not take the lead for good until Alexis converted both ends of a 1+1 free throw with 4:33 left, putting JMU up 41-40. Alexis then hit a 16-foot jumper at 3:30 and made a steal and dribbled down court for a layup at 3:02 to give JMU its biggest lead, 45-40. However, Drexel’s Narissa Suber scored seven points as the Dragons outscored JMU 9-6 in a span of 2:35. Her driving layup with 9.5 seconds left got Drexel within one point at 50-49.
Tamera Young
A three-pointer by ODU with 15.2 seconds remaining cut the lead to 70-68. JMU then lost possession while in-bounding the ball, and ODU’s TJ Jordan got control of the ball and called timeout in a scramble in the free throw lane. However, ODU had no timeouts remaining, and the Monarchs were assessed with a technical foul, giving JMU two free throws and possession of the ball following the foul shots.
2012-13 JMU Basketball - 38
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Dickinson hit the second of the technical free throws and then was fouled again. She made two free throws with 10.6 seconds left to put the game out of reach at 73-68.
March 10, 2006 - Dukes Eke Out Win over Delaware in CAA Semifinals
The defending CAA champion Monarchs lost their first league game of the year and saw their 16-game win streak come to an end. Meanwhile the Dukes tied a school record with a perfect 13-0 home season record.
JMU 61, Delaware 59
“I told (my players), ‘When the smoke clears, I want to see some hairdos messed up.’ It was good, a couple of times we had that,” said coach Kenny Brooks.
March 7, 2006 - The Highest Honor The women Kenny Brooks coaches hold him in high regard. In fact, he was the unanimous choice for 2006 CAA Coach of the Year award -- by his players. That year the CAA honor, voted on by the league’s head coaches and members of the news media, went to a coach other than Brooks. The JMU players, who thought their coach was a leading candidate for the award, were visibly disappointed. Then, shortly after the CAA awards banquet, another ceremony took place on the team bus. It was then that point guard Andrea Benvenuto stepped forward. She had hastily created a “certificate” on a piece of paper. In an impromptu ceremony, she expressed her team’s appreciation for Brooks and what he had provided the team as its coach. A rousing round of applause followed.
Jasmin Lawrence used her patented crossover move to score the gamewinning layup with 1.9 seconds remaining, lifting the Dukes to a 61-59 win over Delaware in the CAA tournament semifinals at George Mason’s Patriot Center. The Dukes had several chances to score in the final minute but missed two shots before the ball deflected off of a Delaware player and out of bounds to JMU with 13.9 seconds left. The Dukes worked the ball around off the in-bounds play until Lawrence drove the lane to sink an offbalance, acrobatic layup. “Jasmin is a New York City girl,” said coach Kenny Brooks. “She’s got that crossover, and she plays that one-on-one - that Earl Monroe-style basketball.”
Andrea Benvenuto
The moment was a testament to the high regard in which Brooks is held by the women he coaches.
A key play by Kisha Stokes had tied the game at 59 with 1:23 remaining. Stokes rebounded an errant JMU three-point attempt as the shot clock expired and scored on a put-back. As Delaware tried to counter, Chrissy Fisher was called for a walk, and the ball was back in JMU’s possession with just over a minute to go. That set the stage for Lawrence, and her basket sent the second-seeded Dukes to the league championship game. Ironically, Lawrence got her chance to shine in only her second career start. She moved into the Dukes’ starting lineup the previous game after an injury sidelined three-time All-CAA guard Lesley Dickinson for the CAA Tournament.
Jan. 29, 2007 - Dukes Move into the National Rankings “I wanted to jump up and scream, ‘Hey everybody, we’re in the Top 25!”’ That was senior Meredith Alexis’ reaction when she learned that JMU had moved into the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The 17-2 Dukes, who had received votes in the AP poll the previous three weeks, cracked the Top 25 for the first time since the final poll of the 1987-88 season, when they were 14th. “Obviously we were very excited to be ranked in the Top 25,” said coach Kenny Brooks. “It’s been a goal of ours all along. To get this national recognition is well-deserving of how hard the players have been working.”
2012-13 JMU Basketball - 39
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Feb. 1, 2007 - Dukes Hand Old Dominion Its Worst League Loss Ever JMU 79, Old Dominion 50 It was JMU’s 10th win in a row. It marked the 23rd straight time the Dukes had won at home. It ended the opponent’s nine-game victory streak. And it kept the Dukes in first place in the CAA standings. But what really had the Convocation Center crowd of nearly 3,000 abuzz was that JMU handed Old Dominion its worst-ever CAA loss, beating the Monarchs by a whopping 29 points (79-50). The margin more than doubled the Monarchs’ previous biggest conference loss margin of 14 points. The Dukes scored the game’s first 12 points and led by as many as 15 midway through the opening half. The Monarchs managed to close the margin to six (31-25) before the half ended with JMU ahead 33-25. In the second period the Dukes used a 20-3 run over a seven-minute span to take a 57-30 lead at 11:06. After that JMU never let its lead slip into single digits and led by as many as 33 points. “We felt like we were the better team, and we really wanted to go out and show it,” said Shirley McCall, whose defense held ODU leading scorer TJ Jordan without a point. “We wanted to make a statement, and I feel like we made it.” “Everybody just got into it,” said senior Meredith Alexis of the game’s atmosphere. “The Convo was just shaking the whole time.”
March 7, 2007 - CAA Awards Top Honors to Three Dukes The Dukes came away from the 2007 CAA awards banquet with enough hardware to open a small trophy shop.
“I saw my name go up on the screen and I had to put my head in my hands just to compose myself,” Alexis told the Harrisonburg News-Record. “I was just so excited.” Head coach Kenny Brooks, under whose guidance the Dukes returned to the national stage with Top 25 national ranking, was selected Coach of the Year. “It’s an honor, something I’ll cherish the rest of my life,” Brooks told the NewsRecord. Lesley Dickinson received the prestigious Dean Ehlers Leadership Award, which honors a player who “embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity and sportsmanship in conjunction with her academic athletic achievement,” Later, Dickinson would be among 13 recipients of an NCAA postgraduate scholarship.

Alexis and teammates Tamera Young and Andrea Benvenuto won All-CAA recognition. Meredith Alexis Dickinson, Benvenuto (left) and Jennifer Brown received all-academic accolades, and Shirley McCall was voted to the all-defensive team.
Meredith Alexis, the league’s top rebounder and second-leading scorer, as well as the CAA’s and JMU’s career rebounding leader, walked away with Player of the Year honors.
2012-13 JMU Basketball - 40
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Tamera Young scored the opening basket of the second half for a 13-point lead. The Colonials responded with six unanswered points to trim the deficit to 39-32 at 17:24. That was as close as GW would get.
March 12, 2007 - NCAA Asks Dukes to Dance For four years Meredith Alexis, Andrea Benvenuto, Lesley Dickinson and Shirley McCall had been mainstays on the Dukes’ basketball team. Finally they were rewarded for their efforts with an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. “When they first came here, their first practice, I can remember basketballs were going all over the place,” coach Kenny Brooks remembered. “You didn’t know what was going to happen to get to this point. And for them to be able to experience something as special as being invited to the NCAA tournament, it’s joy.” It was a landmark day for the Colonial Athletic Association as well, which would be represented by three teams in the NCAA Tournament -- a first for the league.
Nov. 27, 2007 - Nation’s Longest Win Streak Continues with Victory over Nationally-Ranked Colonials JMU 80, George Washington 55
March 2, 2008 Seniors Go Out with an Upset Victory over #11 Old Dominion JMU 76, Old Dominion 63 Make that three in a row. Senior Day was a special one, as the Dukes topped nationally 11th-ranked Old Dominion 76-63 at the JMU Convocation Center. It marked the third straight season JMU had beaten ODU on the Dukes’ home court. “To go out on top, win your last home game, that’s like the best story.” said Jennifer Brown, one of three seniors honored prior to tip-off.
It was a long time coming. JMU’s 80-55 home victory over George Washington (#14 USA Today/ESPN, #16 AP) was the Dukes’ first win over a Top 25 team since 1991.
JMU went on a 14-5 scoring run in the last 2:35 to seal the victory, ending a 19-game Monarch winning streak and handing ODU its first league loss of the year. In a game that had eight ties and nine lead changes, JMU took the lead for good on a three-pointer by Tamera Young with 8:48 to play. That put the Dukes ahead 51-49 and began a run in which JMU outscored ODU 12-2 and out-rebounded the Monarchs 8-2 in a span of 3:39. ODU connected on only one of three field goals at the start of the run and then committed turnovers on its next four possessions.
The Dukes improved to 5-0 and extended the nation’s longest Division I home winning streak to 29 games. The 25-point victory also likely silenced any doubters who might have thought the Dukes were rebuilding after graduating four starters from last season.
In the final three minutes the Dukes converted nine of 12 free-throw attempts, led by Jasmin Lawrence, who was fivefor-six at the line. JMU also got a layup from Young and a three-pointer by Dawn Evans in the closing seconds. Meanwhile, ODU was 0-for-6 from the field, including 0-for-3 from three-point range, and 3-for-6 at the foul line.
“That’s awesome. What more can you say?” said senior Jennifer Brown “Especially this team, how hard we worked this preseason, knowing everything that everyone was going to say about us.” JMU broke away in the final 4:05 of the first half, outscoring GW 12-3. Nina Uqdah finished off the run with a put-back as time expired for a 37-26 halftime lead.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS March 22, 2008 - Dukes Rally for WNIT Win at Indiana JMU 86, Indiana 81, OT You’re down by seven, 1:16 to go, on your opponent’s home court. You’re playing your second game in less than 48 hours; your opponent had a first-round bye and is more rested. It’s over, right?
way, outscoring the Hoosiers 14-9 in the extra period. Evans scored 38 points, including 26 in the second half, and tied the JMU scoring record set by teammate Young in JMU’s WNIT first-round win over Radford. For the game, Evans was 10-for-19 from the field, including six-for-12 from three-point range. She hit all 12 of her free throws.
Maybe not. The Dukes overcame that seven-point deficit and went on to beat Indiana 86-81 in overtime in a WNIT second-round game at IU’s Assembly Hall. Freshman Dawn Evans scored eight points in 43 seconds in the final minute of regulation as JMU cut a 69-62 Indiana lead to one, 71-70, with 17 seconds remaining. Evans hit a long three-pointer at the 1:00 mark, was fouled on a three-point attempt and hit all three foul shots with 31.2 seconds left, then converted two more

foul shots with 17 seconds to go. In the same span Indiana scored only two points on free throws by Kim Roberson with 28.5 seconds left. With the Dukes trailing 71-70, Evans then fouled Jamie Braun with 13.3 seconds left and IU in the double bonus. Braun missed the first foul shot but made the second to put the Hoosiers ahead 72-70. JMU senior Tamera Young then drove the baseline for a layup with 6.2 seconds remaining to tie the game at 72-72, sending the contest into overtime.

Young, the first player in school history to be drafted, was selected by the expansion team Atlanta Dream. The Dukes’ and the CAA’s all-time leading scorer was the eighth pick in the first round. “It was so unreal,” Young was quoted in the Harrisonburg NewsRecord. “Tears started falling out of my eyes.” “She put us on the map,” Brooks told the News-Record. “But even more so today than she did in the past.”
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Jan. 25, 2009 - Dukes End ODU Streak with Record Performance by Evans JMU 72, Old Dominion 67 It certainly wasn’t your typical Sunday afternoon CAA game at Old Dominion’s Ted Constant Center, although it started off looking that way. ODU scored the game’s first seven points and jumped out to a 14-3 lead. At the 12:15 mark the Monarchs were ahead 17-10. At that point, however, the Dukes scored 11 unanswered points, with Dawn Evans netting nine of them, to pull ahead to a 21-17 advantage with 9:41 to play. JMU never trailed after that point en route to a rare victory by a CAA opponent on the Monarchs’ home floor.
“The crazy thing is, when she lets them go right there, I think they’re going in. I really do,” Brooks said of Evans’ long-range shooting. “And call me crazy because I’m the coach that lets her shoot that shot, but I see her make that shot (every day in practice).”
Nov. 22, 2009 - JMU Downs Virginia Tech JMU 66, Virginia Tech 59 Dawn Evans scored 27 points, including 14 during a 27-9 JMU scoring run to end the game, as the Dukes defeated Virginia Tech 66-59 at the JMU Convocation Center. “We were in control for a good 30 minutes of that 40-minute game,” Tech coach Beth Dunkenberger said in the post-game press conference. “Then unfortunately down the stretch their best player proved why she is one of the best players in the country. She took over. She controlled the offense, she got the ball where she wanted, she got everybody organized and she hit shots. She did what great players do, and I thought that she was the great differencemaker in the game.”
The Dukes’ 72-67 victory in a regionally-televised game ended ODU’s 37-game home winning streak against CAA opponents. It was only the third home loss the Monarchs had suffered to a CAA team in 18 seasons of league play (164-3 record). Evans finished with a Constant Center record 36 points. That surpassed the arena scoring record held by former national Player of the Year Candace Parker of Tennessee, who scored 32 against the Monarchs. It was Evans’ sixth career 30-point game and fifth 30-point game of the year, both team records. “I can’t even sit here and say that I’m wowed because I’ve seen her do it so many times,” said coach Kenny Brooks.
Nov. 18, 2009 - Dukes Open Season with Come-from-Behind Win over Georgetown JMU 79, Georgetown 76 Beating a Big East opponent, which later that season would make it into the national Top 25 polls, isn’t a bad way to start your season.
Kanita Shepherd
Winning after trailing by 16 points made it even sweeter.
Evans had four twopoint field goals and two three-pointers during the final 8:21 and put the Dukes in front to stay, 58-56, with a layup with 1:58 left.
Playing before a season-opening record crowd of 2,530, the Dukes didn’t take their first lead over Georgetown until Kanita Shepherd hit two free throws with 1:16 left to put JMU on top 72-71. Then a three-pointer by Sugar Rodgers put the Hoyas ahead 74-72 with 1:03 to play. However, Dawn Evans then nailed a three with 45.1 seconds on the clock, giving the Dukes a 75-74 lead that they would not surrender. Evans, who finished with a game-high 29 points, scored seven of those in the final minute of the game, and Shepherd ‘s block of a shot by Rodgers with 32 seconds left was a key defensive play in the win.
Tech went in front 28-24 with the final five points of the opening half and led 50-39 with 8:55 left and 54-44 at 7:45 before JMU controlled play the rest of the way.
Kiara Francisco
“She’s a phenomenal player,” Brooks said of Evans. “People (ask) ‘Are you comfortable with her shooting 28 times?’ Absolutely. ‘Are you comfortable with her shooting from the Duke Dog paw?’ Absolutely. Because I’ve never coached a player like that, who has range and the ability to score like that.”
Georgetown led by as many as 16 points in the first half (46-30 at 1:04) and was up by 14 (46-32) at halftime. Evans made five threes, many coming from well beyond the threepoint line.

Dawn Evans
The Dukes led by six, 69-63, with 3:20 to play and then held off the Cavaliers down the stretch. JMU matched Virginia basket for basket over the next minute, as each team scored twice. A driving layup by freshman Tarik Hislop put the Dukes’ lead at 73-67 with 2:08 left.
Feb. 21, 2010 - Dukes Win Again at ODU JMU 65, Old Dominion 59 JMU sprinted out to a 30-15 halftime lead and went on to beat leagueleading Old Dominion 65-59 in front of an ODU season-high 5,179 fans at the Constant Convocation Center. It was the Dukes’ second straight win over the Monarchs on ODU’s home court. Dawn Evans led all players with 28 points and seven assists and moved into the CAA’s top 10 career points list at ninth place with 1,754. She scored 21 of her points in the second half and was 9-for-9 at the foul line, all in the second period. Kiara Francisco came off the bench to hit 4-for-6 from the field and finished with nine points. Courtney Hamner contributed eight points and was 3-for-5 from the floor. After ODU’s Shadasia Green knocked down a three-pointer to tie the game at 11 at 11:17, JMU ran off 15 straight points to build a 26-11 lead at 2:38. Six Dukes scored during the run, led by five points by Nikki Newman. After Green’s three at 11:17, JMU held ODU scoreless until Jackie Cook hit a free throw at 2:36 to make the score 26-12. During that span the Monarchs were 0-for-14 from the field and committed five turnovers. Cook’s foul shot was one of only four points scored by the Monarchs in the final 11 minutes of the half. The Dukes entered intermission ahead 30-15.
Virginia All-America Monica Wright hit a 12-foot jumper at 1:49, cutting the lead to 73-69. Evans missed a layup on the Dukes’ ensuing possession, and Wright controlled the rebound. On the other end of the court, the Cavaliers’ Telia McCall was fouled and converted two free throws to get UVa within two, 73-71, with 1:17 on the clock. Evans then banked a six-foot shot into the net to put the Dukes up 75-71 with 52 seconds remaining. Virginia again cut the lead to two, 75-73, as Paulisha Kellum scored on a driving layup with 43.2 seconds to go.
Dawn Evans
On JMU’s possession, the Dukes worked the shot clock down, but when Evans drove into the lane and attempted to pass the ball, McCall came up with the ball with 16 seconds left. With five seconds to go, the Cavs’ China Crosby drove for a layup and missed. JMU senior Sarah Williams and a Virginia player got their hands on the rebound, a jump ball was called, and the possession arrow was in JMU’s favor.
Evans was fouled and went to the line for a 1+1 with 2.3 seconds left. She missed the shot, and Virginia rebounded but was only able to launch a desperation shot that missed the mark. It was JMU’s first win over the Cavaliers since 1986, when the Dukes upset Virginia in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS March 14, 2010 Dukes Claim CAA Title and NCAA Tournament Bid JMU 67, Old Dominion 53 Conference champion and NCAA-bound. Those are the coveted titles the JMU wore after winning the CAA Championship. The Dukes earned their latest distinctions by building an early lead and going on to defeat top-seeded Old Dominion 67-53 at the JMU Convocation Center. JMU, the tournament’s No. 2 seed, gave up a three-point field goal during the game’s opening possession but scored the contest’s next 14 points and led the rest of the way. The Dukes were up 43-29 at halftime, raised their margin to 51-32 with just less than 12 minutes to play and survived a rally that got Old Dominion to within five points with 7:24 left in the game.
Tournament Most Outstanding Player Dawn Evans led the Dukes with a game-high 25 points and seven assists in 37 minutes. Lauren Jimenez, who joined Evans on the all-tournament team, and Tarik Hislop also reached double figures in scoring for the Dukes with 13 and 11 points, respectively. JMU sealed the championship by outscoring the Monarchs 13-4 during the game’s final 7:08 and allowing only two field goals over the final eight minutes. “I’ve dreamt about this moment for a very long time, and now that it’s here, it’s surreal,” coach Kenny Brooks, said. “It’s a wonderful, wonderful accomplishment for a wonderful group.”

Nov. 26, 2010 - Overtime is Kenny Brooks’ Time
Her 42 points included 6-for-12 from 3-point range and 12-for-13 from the foul line. She scored 13 of her team’s final 16 points and handed out eight assists.
JMU 76, Montana 69, OT Kenny Brooks has a knack for guiding his teams to come-frombehind wins, and his teams have also established a tradition of prevailing when contests go to overtime.
The Dukes trailed 76-63, their biggest deficit of the game, when Evans hit a three-pointer with 3:59 left to cut the Cavaliers’ lead to 10. After a pair of Evans free throws and a Cavalier jumper made it 78-68, JMU used a 10-0 run over the next 1:32, including five points from Evans, to tie the game with 1:24 remaining.
One such overtime comeback was an early-season 2010 victory over Montana in a tournament on the Maya Riviera area of Mexico. JMU trailed the Grizzlies by 14 points with 13:49 remaining, but buoyed by six three-pointers (three by Dawn Evans, two by Courtney Hamner and one by Tarik Hislop), the Dukes chipped away at the deficit. Three of those treys came in the final 5:16 and were scored after JMU forced Montana turnovers.
Ariana Moorer and Ataira Franklin each hit a free throw for Virginia to give the Cavaliers a 80-78 lead with 45 seconds left.
Finally, the Dukes tied the game at 64 on a Lauren Jimenez put-back with 13 seconds left in regulation. The extra period was all JMU, as Hamner nailed back-to-back three-pointers to open overtime play, and the Dukes outscored Montana 12-5 to pull out the win.
Courtney Hamner
Evans led all players with 24 points, and Jimenez came off the bench to score 18 points in only her second game back since being sidelined with an injury. Hamner, who hit a career-high five three-pointers, finished with 15 points, just two below her career high. Tarik Hislop added 10 points, and Nikki Newman grabbed a career-high and game-high 14 rebounds. The Dukes connected on 11 three-pointers, just one below the school record, and tied a school record with eight second-half treys.
Dec. 20, 2010 Evans Scores School-Record 42 in Comeback Win over Virginia
With 35 seconds to play Evans knocked down a long threepointer to give the Dukes an 81-80 lead, their first since the 19:23 mark in the first half. Virginia had two attempts on its next possession, but missed both shots, and JMU’s Jalissa Taylor came up with the rebound and was fouled. She hit a free throw with 9.6 seconds left for an 82-80 Dukes’ advantage. Evans broke two other records -- the CAA career marks for three-pointers made and attempted. Her career totals of 325 and 951 surpassed the league records of 323 and 941 held by Old Dominion’s TJ Jordan (2004-08). Her 42-point performance eclipsed the JMU record of 38 that Evans herself shared with former Duke and current WNBA player Tamera Young.
JMU 82, Virginia 80
“If there are three guards better than her in the country, let me see them,” coach Kenny Brooks said. “I don’t know any other player that I’ve had or seen that can really respond the way she did. It’s probably the most remarkable performance that I’ve seen by anybody with me being on the floor.”
It was just a magical night. On her coach’s 42nd birthday, Dawn Evans scored a school-record 42 points to lead the Dukes to an 82-80 come-from-behind win over Virginia at the JMU Convocation Center. Evans scored 13 of her points in the last four minutes to present JMU

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS March 13, 2011 - Again. Dukes Repeat as CAA Champions JMU 67, Delaware 61 Shelia Moorman’s JMU teams set the bar high by winning four consecutive CAA titles from 1986-89. With the Dukes’ 67-61 win over Delaware in the 2011 CAA final, Kenny Brooks is halfway to matching Moorman’s success. CAA Player of the Year Dawn Evans scored a game-high 24 points and dished out a season-high tying eight assists as she earned the tournament’s Most Outstanding Performer honor for the second year in a row.
Shelia Moorman and Kenny Brooks
Joining Evans on the all-tournament team were senior Lauren Jimenez, who registered her 10th double-double of the season with 12 points and 14 rebounds, and senior Courtney Hamner, who scored 15 points and tied her career-high with five three-point field goals. In the opening half JMU led by as many as 15 as the Dukes went 8-of-13 from beyond the arc, tying the school record for threes in a half. The Dukes led by 15 with 5:07 remaining in the contest, before the Blue Hens had one last push, scoring 15 of the next 19 points to cut the JMU lead to 63-59 with less than a minute remaining. That was as close as Delaware would get, however, as JMU went 8-of-8 from the free throw line in the last 47 seconds, including six straight makes from Tarik Hislop. Perhaps most importantly, for a Dukes’ basketball program that is truly family, the four “big sisters” -- Evans, Jimenez, Hamner and senior classmate Jalissa Taylor -- completed their careers earning another championship ring. “For the seniors, we wanted to do everything we could to be sure they went out winners,” said coach Kenny Brooks. “I couldn’t be happier for this group of kids; they worked so hard for me. I can’t even put it into words how happy and special I feel right now.”

Down by 17? No problem.
You’re been out of the game with foul trouble for nearly 10 minutes, so of course when you return to the floor it might take a few minutes for you to hit your stride.
For the 13th time in Kenny Brooks’ 10-year coaching career, his team won a game after trailing by 16 or more points. The 17-point deficit in this second-round WNIT game vs. Wake Forest, however, was the largest a Brooks team had faced before rallying to win.
Not Kirby Burkholder. Just 10 seconds after stepping back on the court she knocked down the first of back-toback 3-pointers to start a 15-4 scoring run that enabled her trailing team to clinch a win over Virginia in the WNIT quarterfinals.
Most of the fans at the JMU Convocation Center likely figured that Wake Forest had a win locked up when the Demon Deacons led 70-67 with 21 seconds remaining in regulation.
In the go-ahead run Nikki Newman found her former high-school teammate in the left corner and delivered a pass to an open Burkholder, who hit her first 3-pointer at 4:02 to put the Dukes up 5655. After UVa turned the ball over on a walk, Newman again found Burkholder, this time in the right corner, and she hit another 3 at 3:29 to extend the JMU lead to 59-55.
But a lapse in Wake’s defense left Nikki Newman open, and she launched a 3-pointer that fell through the net with 6.6 seconds on the clock. In overtime JMU outscored Wake 14-6. It was freshman Toia Giggetts’ time to shine, as she personally outscored the Demon Deacons 6-2 in a span of 1:01. Her 16-foot jumper at 1:38 put the Dukes up 78-76, and after a Wake turnover she drove for a layup at 1:09 for an 80-76 JMU lead.
Kirby Burkholder
With the Cavaliers fouling to regain possession in the final minutes, JMU players combined to hit 7-of-8 free throws in the final 2:38, including four by Tarik Hislop and two by Lauren Whitehurst. Burkholder also scored on a layup with the shot clock winding down, as she picked up a loose ball on the baseline and weaved through the defense to give JMU a 65-59 lead with 1:00 left.
Wake missed three field goals in the final 32 seconds, while
Nikki Newman Tarik Hislop and Kirby Burkholder each converted two foul shots to ice the game.

The extraperiod win was the seventh straight overtime victory by a Brooks team and the Dukes’ third overtime win of the season.
“This was a game between two very similar teams that rely on their defense and try to muster up some offense. The intensity was tremendous,” said Brooks. “It’s one of the most electric atmospheres since I’ve been here. “I challenged Kirby at halftime. (I told her) if you don’t shoot the ball, we can’t win this game. I was really proud of her demeanor (when she re-entered the game late), the way she stepped back in. They lost her; they forgot she was in the game, because she sat for 10 minutes. She got wide-open threes. As soon as they left her hand I knew they were going in.”

Two JMU Wins Among NCAA’s Biggest Upsets
This upset started out to be a blowout all the way... for the Nittany Lions. Ranked No. 1 late in the season and in front of 6,087 faithful, 29-1 Penn State roared out to an 11-0 lead before James Madison head coach Shelia Moorman had to do something that she did not want to do, ask for a timeout. “The crowd just went bananas,” Moorman said. “The first thing that we did out of the timeout was turn the ball over to Penn State.” It didn’t get any better for James Madison. Penn State stretched its lead to 24-9 with 12:01 to go in the first half. Nothing was working offensively, so Moorman stressed defense... and little by little it began to work. James Madison outscored the Nittany Lions, 20-17, in the last 12 minutes of the half to cut the lead to 41-29 at halftime. The heat put on the Penn State offense continued in the second half. James Madison outscored the Nittany Lions, 22-6, in the first eight minutes of the second half and the Dukes led 51-47 with 11:41 remaining.
By Kevin Goodwin Ozarks Sports Magazine Excerpted from 1993 NCAA Regional game program. Upsets in the NCAA basketball championship provide some of the most amazing stories in sports every year. Teams with little recognition bound into the NCAA field with nothing to lose and nothing but history to make and mystify the nation for 40 minutes on their way to making their dreams come true. When dreams become reality, a lifetime of memories are made, for players and coaches alike. The NCAA women’s basketball championship is finally getting some of the national respect it richly deserves. But, due to the lack of exposure in the past, some of the biggest women’s basketball upsets in the NCAA championship have not been given full recognition. Here is a look at teams in the women’s basketball championship who have stood up against the incredible odds... and won.

From that point on, the game was close, but Penn State never regained the lead. Penn State closed the gap to 73-71 on Tanya Garner’s layup with 53 seconds left and got the ball back with 19 seconds remaining. Penn State’s crowd was begging for the win, but Jeanine Michealsen blocked Garner’s threepoint attempt with one second left to preserve the win for James Madison. Moorman said the game was the best women’s basketball has to offer. “It really doesn’t get any better than that game,” Moorman said. “The quality of effort, fans and basketball is unmatched. The crowd never shut up for 40 minutes. It was fabulous to be a part of that experience. Anybody who was involved in that game will never forget it.”
No. 8 James Madison 71, No. 1 Virginia 62 1986 Second Round, East Regional “Go ahead and put on the slipper.” That’s what coach Shelia Moorman said to her squad after the Dukes scored their first upset in the NCAA championship, defeating Virginia in Charlottesville, 71-62. Virginia had drubbed James Madison by double digits in their first meeting of the year. “In 1986, I had a bunch of sophomores and juniors,” Moorman said. “Our goal was to get to the NCAA championship the next year.” As it would against Penn State five years later, defense helped James Madison win on this night. The Cavaliers led, 14-9, with 11:26 remaining in the first half when the Dukes held Virginia to one field goal while outscoring the Cavaliers, 24-8, the rest of the period to take a 33-22 lead at halftime. “We were holding our breath on the bench,” Moorman said. “This was a great Virginia team. We knew a run was coming sometime.” Moorman draws distinct parallels in her two upsets in NCAA Championship action. “We played teams that were very close to home,” Moorman said. “These kids played each other in high school, in camps and many other places. There was a certain familiarity that they had with each other.”
