Jazmon Gwathmey
Toia Giggetts
The Dukes are coming off one of the most successful seasons in program history in 2013-14, having tied the school record with 29 wins and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. JMU knocked off sixth-seeded Gonzaga (72-63) in the first round, which was the first tournament win for Madison since 1991. The Dukes finished the year winning 19 of their final 21 games and receiving votes in both major polls, including enough in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll to rank them 27th in the nation. Head Coach Kenny Brooks, the 2014 CAA Coach of the Year, returns to the helm for his 13th season needing 19 wins for 300 in his career and 22 wins for 303, which would make him the all-time winningest coach in JMU women’s basketball history, surpassing Shelia Moorman (302). Over the last nine seasons, he has led the Dukes to at least 24 wins with three CAA Tournament titles. In 2014-15, JMU faces three teams that advanced to the 2014 NCAA Tournament, starting with Final Four contender Maryland. The Dukes face the Terps Nov. 28 on a neutral court at the San Juan Shootout. JMU hosts Hampton on Dec. 20, a 12 seed in the 2014 NCAA Touranment, and travels to Vanderbilt on Dec. 29, an eight seed last year. The reigning Colonial Athletic Association regular season and tournament champions were picked to repeat in 2014-15 according to a vote by the league’s head coaches. The Dukes return three starters from last year’s championship squad in 2014 Preseason Player of the Year and preseason All-CAA First Team junior guard Precious Hall, preseason All-CAA First Team senior forward Toia Giggetts, and preseason All-CAA Second Team redshirt-junior guard Jazmon Gwathmey. The Dukes have 14 regular-season home games in 2014-15, beginning with UCLA on Friday, Nov. 14, at 1 p.m. Fans can get a first-glimpse at this year’s JMU squad on Sunday, Nov. 9 when the Dukes host Lenoir-Rhyne for an exhibition game at 2 p.m. at the JMU Convocation Center.
Who’s Back Toia Giggetts Sr. |G | 6-0 Giggetts returns for her senior campaign after an All-CAA Second team junior season. She scored in double figures 26 consecutive times and 32 times overall in 2013-14. She currently has 879 career points for the purple and gold and will look to hit 1,000 this season. Away from her strong game play, she is known for her facemask and pre-game dance moves.
Jazmon Gwathmey R-Jr. | G | 6-2
Precious Hall 2014-15 JMU Basketball - 38 2012-13 JMU Basketball - 38
Gwathmey looks to step into the say-no role this year after a 56-block season as a redshirt sophomore, the most in JMU women’s basketball history by a second-year player. She already sits in 10th place on the JMU blocked-shots chart with 90. On the offensive side of the ball, she held the thirdbest scoring average from last season (10.0 ppg) amongst returners, and fans will wait to see if she finally dunks this season.
2014-15 OUTLOOK ROSTER WHO GRADUATED
Precious Hall Jr. | G | 5-8 A CAA Rookie of the Year as a freshman and an All-CAA Second Team honoree as a sophomore, Hall is the top returning scorer from last season’s NCAA tournament squad after averaging 13.5 ppg. She scored in double figures the final nine games of 2013-14 with 27 double-figure scoring performances overall, including six 20+ point performances.
Lauren “Lady” Okafor R-Sr. | C | 6-3 Okafor returns to patrol the post in her final season with the Dukes. Everyone’s least-favorite opponent in the paint, Okafor has used her commanding presence to her advantage at JMU and averages 5.2 points per game and 4.4 rebounds per game. Her 38 blocks for the purple and gold combined with her 61 at Providence also have her tied for seventh on the JMU career blocked-shots list. Her next rejection gives her sole possession of seventh, surpassing current assistant coach Jennifer Brown.
Angela “Muff” Mickens Jr. | G | 5-7 One of the leaders of the offense, Mickens dishes out passes for points often and assisted on 139 field goals in 2013-14, the 15th most in JMU history for a single season. She served as the “sixth” starter during last year’s championship season, often providing a key spark to the game off the bench as she averaged 26.5 minutes per game – the second highest total for a returning player – and 1.14 steals per outing.
Destiny Jones Jr. | F | 6-0 Jones looks to have a breakout year as a junior after appearing in just 12 games as a sophomore. She posted a 12-point performance against Alcorn State on Nov. 24, followed by an eight-point showing against UCLA in the Gulf Coast Showcase in front of her hometown crowd. Another eight-point performance will push her into the 100-point club.
Kirby Burkholder G | 6-0 Burkholder, a local Valley girl, left her mark on the program before heading to Italy to play professionally. She departed JMU first in career free-throw percentage (.870), third in career rebounds (929), fifth in career scoring (1,647 pts) and seventh in career steals (190). As she Kirby’d opponents throughout her final season, she earned CAA Player of the Year honors, VaSID Player of the Year honors and Richmond Times-Dispatch Player of the Year honors.
Nikki Newman G/F |6-2 En route to setting a school record in career games played, Newman said NO to 171 shots during her time with the Dukes. The Valley girl became a two-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year in 2013-14 as she led the Dukes to a third CAA Championship during her time with the team. She hasn’t gone far though…Newman is the Assistant Director of Operations for JMU women’s basketball this season and will be the color analyst on game broadcasts this year.
WHO’S NEW Ashley Perez Jr. | G | 5-8 Perez will be new to the court in 2014-15, but she isn’t completely new to the Dukes. She transferred to JMU from St. John’s following the fall 2013 semester and is sitting out a year due to NCAA transfer rules, becoming available for action following the fall 2014 semester. Before leaving the Red Storm, Perez averaged 6.6 ppg on 32.7-percent shooting.
Da’Lishia “DeeDee” Griffin So. | F | 6-2 With two 10-point performances with a double-double under her belt, Griffin is set to attack her sophomore campaign. She snagged at least five rebounds five times as a freshman out of 26 games played, averaging 3.0 rebounds per outing, and added 2.5 points per game over an average 8.3 minutes played.

Candice Williams Fr. | G | 5-7 Williams graduated high school rated a three-star guard by ESPN Hoopgurlz as well as the 64th-best point guard. A first team all-state player, a first team all-region player and Georgia Region 6 Co-Player of the Year, she led St. Francis to a Georgia state championship as a junior while earning letters in volleyball and track as well.
Hailee Barron Fr. | G | 5-10 Barron earned First Team All-State and First Team All-Metro honors for basketball as a senior at Rice Memorial High School in Vermont, graduating with 1,198 career points. She also earned varsity letters in soccer and track & field.
Carley Brew Fr. | F | 6-0 A McDonald’s All-American nominee as a senior, Brew led Wilson H.S. to the Pennsylvania District 3 4A championship and a Berks Conference 4A Division I championship during her final campaign. A PIAA District 3 4A First Team honoree, she finished her high school career with 1,277 points.
Tasia Butler R-Fr. | F | 6-1 A transfer from Syracuse following the 2013-14 school year, Butler will sit out the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules. She appeared in 16 games as a true freshman for the Orange, making her collegiate debut at Washington State on Nov. 10, 2013. At North Point H.S., she was a McDonald’s All-American nominee and left as the all-time leading scorer (1,363 pts).

KENNY 2014-15 BROOKS ROSTER HEAD COACH
Year at JMU: 13th Alma Mater: James Madison ‘92
Kenny Brooks enters his 13th year at the helm of James Madison women’s basketball in 2014-15. In 2013-14, Brooks led the Dukes to their first NCAA Tournament victory since 1991. JMU, the 11th seed in the College Station (Texas) Region, knocked off sixth-seeded Gonzaga 72-63 in the first round. The trip marked the Dukes’ ninth consecuconsecutive appearance in the postseason (2006-14), and the win pushed them to a school-record tying 29 wins on the season. JMU earned both Colonial Athletic Association titles in 2013-14, the third tournament title and second regular season championship under Coach Brooks. The Dukes finished the regular season with a 15-1 conference record, opening on a 13-game win-streak. As the No. 1 seed in the CAA tournament, they defeated No. 9 UNCW (quarterfinals, 69-56), No. 4 Drexel (semifinals, 55-43) and No. 2 Delaware (finals, 70-45) en route to the tournament championship and the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. Coach Brooks earned his second CAA Coach of the Year accolade in 2014 as well as his fourth Virginia Sports Information Directors Coach of the Year award. The Richmond Times-Dispatch also named him State Coach of the Year as he led a school-record four team members to All-CAA selections for the season. In addition to All-CAA nods, he guided Kirby Burkholder (JMU ’14) to her first CAA Player of the Year honor and Nikki Newman (JMU ’14) to her second CAA Defensive Player of the Year award. Burkholder also earned JMU’s Female Athlete of the Year honor while Newman earned the JMU Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year title. Brooks has coached four CAA Players of the Year (Meredith Alexis ’07, Tamera Young ’08, Dawn Evans ’11, Burkholder ’14) and 24 all-conference selections. Tamera Young (JMU ’08) was a firstround WNBA Draft Pick while Dawn Evans (JMU ’11), Tarik Hislop (JMU ’13) and Kirby Burkholder (JMU ’14) each signed professional contracts after graduation. Burkholder moved into fifth on the JMU career scoring chart (1,647) under Coach Brooks’ guidance. Overall, the top six all-time scorers in JMU history (Evans, Young, Hislop, Alexis, Burkholder, Lesley Dickinson) were all coached by Coach Brooks. His players also hold the top four slots on JMU’s all-time rebounds list (Alexis, Young, Burkholder, Newman) and the top nine spots on the career games played chart (Newman, Hislop, Burkholder, Courtney Hamner, Kisha Stokes, Jalissa Taylor, Young, Sarah Williams, Evans). Heading into 2014-15, Coach Brooks has led JMU women’s basketball to a 281-112 (.715) overall record. His mark is secsecond only to Shelia Moorman’s (1982-97) overall record of 302134 (.692).

CAREER 2014-15 HIGHLIGHTS ROSTER
“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.”
Feb. 9, 2003 - Believe It! JMU 98, Old Dominion 95, OT
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. “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. 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.
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. “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.”
Jan. 6, 2004 - Freshman Class Leads Comeback Win
JMU 71, Charlotte 64
With ODU ahead 78-65, Lynn Liburd nailed back-toback 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
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). After a Charlotte layup, JMU trimmed the lead to four (52-48) on Dickinson’s three-point play followed by McCall’s driving layup.
“This is my dream job.”
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. “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. But JMU scored the game’s next 18 points, led by eight points by another freshman, Meredith Alexis. That gave the Dukes an insurmountable 6858 lead with 1:04 left on the clock.

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.

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.

JMU 61, Delaware 59
Jasmin Lawrence used her patented crossover move to score the game-winning 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 off-balance, acrobatic layup.
“I told (my players), ‘When the smoke clears, I want to see some hair-dos 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.

“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
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. 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.

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 welldeserving of how hard the players have been working.”

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.”

It marked the third straight season JMU had beaten ODU on the Dukes’ home court.
JMU 80, George Washington 55
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.
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. The Dukes improved to 5-0 and extended the nation’s longest Division I home winning streak to 29 games.
In the final three minutes the Dukes converted nine of 12 free-throw attempts, led by Jasmin Lawrence, who was five-for-six at the line. JMU also got a layup from Young and a threepointer 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.
The 25-point victory also likely silenced any doubters who might have thought the Dukes were rebuilding after graduating four starters from last season. “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.
Tamera Young
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.

“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).”

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.
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 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.

Evans had four two-point field goals and two threepointers during the final 8:21 and put the Dukes in front to stay, 58-56, with a layup with 1:58 left.
Winning after trailing by 16 points made it even sweeter. 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.
“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.”
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 three-point line.

JMU sprinted out to a 30-15 halftime lead and went on to beat league-leading 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-for14 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 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.

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.
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. One such overtime comeback was an early-season 2010 victory over Montana in a tournament on the Maya Riviera area of Mexico.
Ariana Moorer and Ataira Franklin each hit a free throw for Virginia to give the Cavaliers a 80-78 lead with 45 seconds left.
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.
With 35 seconds to play Evans knocked down a long three-pointer to give the Dukes an 81-80 lead, their first since the 19:23 mark in the first half.
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 threepointers to open overtime play, and the Dukes outscored Montana 12-5 to pull out the win.

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.

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. “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.”

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 gamehigh 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. Joining Evans on the Shelia Moorman and Kenny Brooks all-tournament team were senior Lauren Jimenez, who registered her 10th doubledouble 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.”

JMU 84, Wake Forest 76, OT Down by 17? No problem.
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. 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. 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.
You’ve 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. Not Kirby Burkholder. Just 10 seconds after stepping back on the court she knocked down the first of back-to-back 3-pointers to start a 15-4 scoring run that enabled her trailing team to clinch a win over Virginia in the WNIT quarterfinals. In the go-ahead run Nikki Newman found her former highschool 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 56-55. 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.
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. Wake missed three field goals in the final 32 seconds, while Tarik Hislop and Kirby Burkholder each converted two foul shots to ice the game.
With the Cavaliers fouling to Kirby Burkholder 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.

“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
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.

Dukes led 51-47 with 11:41 remaining. 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 lay-up 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 three-point 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.”

athletics hall of fame 2014-15 roster Among the JMU Athletics Hall of Fame inductees are 17 women with connections to the JMU basketball program. The inaugural inductions in 1988 included two former players and a former coach.
1988 Mary Lou Carroll (’56), a four-year member of the basketball team, continued to participate as an amateur player in three sports following her graduation from JMU. She played in five AAU National Basketball Championships and in 1967 was named the outstanding basketball player in the Washington, D.C., area. Althea Loose Johnston, an original member of the JMU faculty in 1909, coached JMU basketball teams to a 106-33-5 (.753) record in a span of 22 years. Six of her teams were undefeated and at one point her teams won 17 straight games over three years. JMU’s Johnston Hall is named in honor of her and her husband, James C. Johnston. Katherine Johnson (’77) was JMU’s first 1,000-point scorer in women’s basketball and the first JMU female athlete to earn All-America honors. She continued her career in athletics as a high school basketball coach.
Katherine Johnson is congratulated by then JMU Director of Athletics Dean Ehlers at the inaugural JMU Sports Hall of Fame inductions in 1988.

Shelia A. Moorman guided JMU basketball teams to unprecedented success in 15 seasons (198297). Her teams won more than 300 games, played in six NCAA Tournaments (1986-89, 91, 96) and won four conference titles. She engineered two of the bigger upsets in NCAA Tournament history -- a 1991 victory at top-ranked Penn State and a 1986 win at regionally top-seeded Virginia -- and her teams were the first JMU basketball squads to be ranked in the national Top 25 polls. Four of Moorman’s six NCAA Tournament teams advanced to the “Sweet 16” (1986-88, 91), and the Dukes won four straight Colonial Athletic Association Tournament titles (1986-89).
Missy Dudley Heft (‘89) was a member of four JMU teams that had combined records of 108-16, won four consecutive CAA championships and advanced in NCAA Tournament play four times, including three times to the “Sweet 16.” She was named to the CAA Team of the Decade (1985-95) and scored 1,284 career points.
