national pub ESPN.com took notice of LA Tech’s return to the NCAA Tournament following the Lady Techsters 68-66 win over Fresno State in the finals of the 2010 WAC Tournament.

CELEBRATION TIME Members of the Louisiana Tech basketball team, University administration and friends of the program gathered at President Dr. Dan Reneau’s house to watch the NCAA Selection Show Party as Teresa Weatherspoon and Co. learned it would be a No. 14 seed and would be traveling to Tallahassee, Florida to face the ACC champion Florida State Seminoles.

www.latechsports.com The day prior to LA Tech’s first round game, head coach Teresa Weatherspoon accompanied Shanavia Dowdell, Tiawana Pringle and Adrienne Johnson to the press conference to answer questions pertaining to its contest.

LA Tech also conducted one hour of open practice at the Donald L. Tucker Center the day prior to the game where the Lady Techsters took a few minutes to pose for the team picture prior to going through workouts.

Although very few of the national experts gave them a chance against the Florida State Seminoles, Louisiana Tech played toe-to-toe with the eighth-ranked ACC champions.

Shanavia Dowdell was unstoppable in the game, scoring 28 points and grabbing 12 rebounds against the much bigger Seminoles.

Tech led by nine points with just over five minutes to play in the first half as the Lady Techsters shot 50 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes of play.

Jasmine Bendolph’s three-pointer with two minutes to play in the game cut the FSU lead to four points. However, LA Tech’s upset bid came up short as Florida State won 75-61.

Head Coach

Teresa Weatherspoon - National Champion - Olympic Gold Medalist - WNBA All-Star - Hall of Famer All-American Teresa Weatherspoon played with a fire and passion that few people possess during her four-year career at Louisiana Tech (1984-88). She led the Lady Techsters to four NCAA Tournaments, two Final Fours and the 1988 National Championship title while earning Kodak All-American honors as a junior and senior. During her four year career, Teresa led LA Tech to a mark of 118-14 and was awarded the 1988 Wade Trophy, as the nation’s top player.

Gold Medalist Following her LA Tech career, Teresa Weatherspoon played for the US National Team in two Olympics – the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea and the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. Weatherspoon led Team USA to a mark of 9-1 during those two Olympic competitions, including a perfect 5-0 record and the gold medal in 1988.

WNBA All-Star Following a stint playing basketball overseas, Teresa Weatherspoon returned to the States and began an eight-year professional career in the WNBA where she played seven seasons for the New York Liberty and her final season with the Los Angeles Sparks. She started 220 straight games and led New York to three WNBA championship series appearances.

She was a four-time WNBA All-Star, a four-time all-WNBA second teamer and the two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year.

WAC Champion It’s no surprise to anyone that Teresa Weatherspoon has already made her mark on the Lady Techster program in just two short years. After being named interim head coach in February of 2009, Spoon led the Lady Techsters to the 2009 Western Athletic Conference regular season title and then the 2010 WAC Tournament Title. Tech has earned postseason berths both years.

2010-11 SEASON OUTLOOK

52

The Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters will be hosting their own reality show this year.

Just call it “Life without Shanavia Dowdell.”

That’s what the Lady Techsters are facing after graduating the two-time Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year and second round WNBA draft pick following last season.

Although she acknowledges Dowdell’s physical presence and allaround game will be missed, it’s not something that head coach Teresa Weatherspoon is losing sleep over.

“Life without Shanavia Dowdell will be challenging at first,” Weatherspoon said. “Our style of basketball will change from that traditional inside-outside style to a more up-tempo one. She brought so much to us in rebounding, scoring and defending.

“It will be tough, but it gives other people the opportunity to step up and do great things. We are not looking for anyone to be Shanavia Dowdell; we want each kid to be the best they can be. If they are able to do that, we will be a good team.”

Good or great. That is a question that many Louisiana Tech fans are wondering heading into the upcoming season as Weatherspoon enters her third as the head coach.

A program that is so rich in tradition that it almost seeps from the 13 Final Four and 3 national championship

banners that hang from the Thomas Assembly Center rafters found its way back into the NCAA Tournament last season.

It looks for the same - if not more this year.

“Hopefully last season’s success built some confidence and gave our kids an idea of what it takes to accomplish their goals,” Weatherspoon said. “Hopefully, it built a hunger in each player to get back (to the NCAA Tournament).

We don’t want to fall off the ladder, but instead we want to continue to build.”

As Weatherspoon continues to build, she does starting with a solid foundation as Louisiana Tech is still considered one of the most storied programs in the history of the women’s game.

A program that has experienced 26 NCAA Tournaments, 13 Final Fours, 8 national title appearances and three national championships ranks second to only Tennessee in most of these categories. That’s not bad company.

LA Tech will also look to join the Lady Vols in another column this year as the Lady Techsters need only 24 more victories to become only the second program to ever win 1,000 games in its history.

So as a roster that includes eight letter winners, one red-shirt freshman and four newcomers prepares for the upcoming season, it does so with all eyes focused on one ultimate goal - re-

turning to the NCAA Tournament.

The ending to “Life without Shanavia Dowdell” won’t be determined until March.

However, one thing is for sure. This reality show will be one that Lady Techster fans won’t want to miss.

Point Guard No one knows the value of the point guard position better than Teresa Weatherspoon.

Considered one of the greatest floor generals in the history of women’s basketball, Weatherspoon has the luxury of coaching a pretty good one in junior Jasmine Bendolph.

The two-year starter has overcome health issues during her college career to lead the Lady Techsters, and time after time, she has shown she has ice in her veins. During her sophomore campaign, Bendolph averaged 7.8 points, 3.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting 40 percent from the field and the three-point line and 87 percent from the free throw line.

“If Jasmine Bendolph is healthy, she will be one of the best point guards around,” Weatherspoon said. “She has great composure which is what every coach wants. She can score at will, but she also does what most traditional point guards do and that is get everyone else involved. If we have a healthy JB, we will do great things.”

www.latechsports.com

While scoring in double figures 10 times last year, Bendolph saved some of her biggest games for the postseason. During the Lady Techsters run to the WAC Tournament title (and eventually the NCAA Tournament), Bendolph scored a career-high 24 points in the opening round win over Utah State.

She then recorded a career-high eight assists in Tech’s 80-77 win over Nevada in the WAC semifinals and then hit the game-winning shot with only 34 seconds to play in the championship game victory over Fresno State.

Senior Martina Holloway and junior Angie Felton will also see playing time at the point guard position for the Lady Techsters this season.

Holloway saw action in 30 games last year while averaging 1.8 points, 2.2 assists and 1.1 rebounds. She ranked second on the team with 66 assists and shot 40 percent from the field and 36 percent from the three-point line.

“Martina came back in great shape this year,” Weatherspoon said. “She lost 17 or 18 pounds and really dedicated herself to having a better senior season.

She has come back with an entirely different mentality and has been incredible in individual workouts. We are looking for great things from her. She passes the ball well and has done a great job of getting better defensively. She has made herself an all-around better player.”

The Albuquerque native showed her talents during an 86-76 win over

Memphis last year when she scored 10 points, grabbed eight rebounds and recorded five assists against the Tigers.

Felton is a junior college transfer from Gulf Coast Community College where she helped lead the program to a 32-1 mark and the 2010 National Junior College Athletic Association title.

“Angie Felton will be a combo guard for us as she will play both the one and the two,” Weatherspoon said.

“She is a good shooter; a great slasher as she really attacks the basket. People might not see the flashiness or quickness, but she plays smart basketball.

She uses her knowledge to get where she wants to be on the court. She is a very smart player.”

Like Bendolph, Felton has proven to be a big-game player as she scored 20 points in Gulf Coast’s 83-61 win over Jefferson College in the NJCAA title game. On the year, she averaged 8.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists while also earning all-tournament honors during the national tournament.

Off-Guard LA Tech will have plenty of depth at the off-guard position this year as Weatherspoon can turn to seniors Whitney Jones, Brietta Thomas and Tarkeisha Wysinger-Mackey, junior Kiara Young and freshman Jelena Vucinic.

Jones returns for her senior season with something to prove after struggling during her junior campaign. Despite

averaging 10.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while starting 30 contests, Jones shot only 36 percent from the field and only 31 percent from the threepoint line.

“We are glad to have Whitney back,” Weatherspoon said. “I think she will have a better season than last year as she feels she has something to prove.

She is a great shooter for us, and probably our best defender. She has come back ready to take on the responsibility of scoring for us and being our defensive stopper.”

Jones is an explosive scorer at times as proven by her 31-point outburst against Utah State as a sophomore. She scored in double figures 19 times last year including 13 points in the WAC championship game win over Fresno State - a game in which she hit four three-pointers.

Thomas took huge strides during her junior season and is considered arguably Tech’s top three-point threat as the lanky 5-foot-11 guard is primed for her best season yet.

“Bri started to come on during her junior year,” Weatherspoon said. “She has better understanding and vision of what it takes to be great at what she does. She is a great shooter who gives us such a three-point threat. Bri has done a really good job of putting the ball on the floor and getting to the basket. She needs to do a better job of rebounding and being a little more physical and aggressive. She’s worked

53

louisiana tech LADY TECHSTERS

hard on getting better defensively.”

Thomas made four starts while seeing action in all 31 games last year for Tech, averaging 5.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per contest. The Baton Rouge native shot 40 percent from the field, 35 percent from the three-point line and 77 percent from the free throw line while scoring in double figures six times, including a career-high 22 points in a win over Centenary.

Wysinger-Mackey is finally 100 percent healthy after battling injuries during each of the past two years as the senior is also sporting a new last name after getting married in early October.

Considered one of the most versatile players on the roster, Wysinger-Mackey will play at both the guard and forward positions this year.

“Tarkeisha is who she is,” Weatherspoon said. “She does basically everything for us. We are asking a lot of her to play multiple positions, but she is capable of doing it because of her versatility. She can get down in the paint and

54

play with the best of them because she likes to get physical. She will also play the three for us because of her ability to defend. We will do a lot more with her through the course of the season.”

During her junior year, TK averaged 8.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting 41 percent from the field. Never known as a prolific scorer, she scored a career-high 25 points in an overtime loss to eventual NCAA Tournament participant Fresno State while also scoring 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds against Final Four participant Baylor.

Young will get an opportunity to move back to her natural position after playing the first two years in the post for the Lady Techsters. The 5-foot-9 showed her grit by battling down low but will take her game out to the perimeter this season.

“Kiara is going to be a tremendous surprise to a lot of people,” Weatherspoon said. “We played her out of position last year and she took on that challenge. I think this year by putting her at the three position, she will definitely be more productive for us. She is an incredibly strong young lady. She goes to the rim hard. She has great jumping ability. She needs to be more consistent with her jump shot, but I think she will be another scoring threat for us this year.”

Young averaged 3.0 points and 3.3 rebounds last year while shooting 38 percent from the field. She started the year by recording her first career double double with 10 points and 14 rebounds in a win over Centenary and added nine points in a come-from-behind win over Southern Miss in early January.

True freshman Jelena Vucinic is a long way from home as the New Zealand native becomes only the second foreign born player to ever don a Lady Techster uniform (joining former Techster Margaret DeCiman). Vucinic is a southpaw who has already shown that she has deep range and a tenacious work ethic.

“Jelena is an unbelievable kid,” Weatherspoon said. “She came in here in great shape. She works so hard and doesn’t like to lose in anything we do.

She is a lefty who shoots the ball very, very well. Her range is outside of the gym. She is probably one of the hardest workers I’ve been around in a long, long time.”

Vucinic comes by her athleticism

and basketball ability honestly as her mother, Tatjana, and her father, Nenad, both played for the New Zealand national teams. During her time at Waimea College (high school in New Zealand), Vucinic was named team MVP four straight years while helping the program to the 2008 and 2009 South Island Premiership championship titles. This summer she also was selected to the Tall Ferns, the New Zealand women’s national team.

Southern Miss transfer Kassietta Brown will sit out this year due to the NCAA transfer rules but will then have three years of eligibility remaining.

“Kassietta has to sit out this year, but I think it will be a great learning experience for her in learning the game and our philosophy,” Weatherspoon said. “She will be another threat for us shooting the ball. She can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim and knock down jumpers. We just want her to get better defensively for us.”

www.latechsports.com

As a true freshman, Brown averaged 4.0 points a game while shooting 37 percent from the field, 34 percent from the three-point line and 61 percent from the free throw line. She scored a career-high 15 points in a win over Marshall and added eight points in the loss against the Lady Techsters.

Forwards Weatherspoon has the luxury of relying upon the best post player in the Western Athletic Conference in senior forward Adrienne Johnson.

Johnson, who has played alongside of Dowdell for the past three years, will now shoulder an even larger role in the Techster game plan as she looks to become the first LA Tech player in more than a decade to earn three straight first team all-conference honors.

“Adrienne is on a mission this year,” Weatherspoon said. “The one thing that she wants to do is put this team on her shoulders. It’s something we don’t want her to do, but she is capable of doing it.

She has truly changed her game during her career, putting her back to the basket, facing the rim, stretching defenses.

She has gotten better at handling the ball and can play the three though the five position. With that type of versatility, she will really be able to put other teams at a disadvantage.”

Johnson, who eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau last season, averaged 16.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 48 percent from the field and 76 percent from the free throw line.

She scored in double figures 26 times, including a season-high 29 points in an 80-77 win over Nevada in the WAC Tournament semifinals, and recorded six double doubles.

Red-shirt freshman Tavasha Anderson will provide LA Tech its biggest body as the 6-foot-3-inch forward looks to return to the hardwood after missing the majority of her senior year of high school and her freshman year of college due to injuries.

“Tavasha is the kind of back-to-thebasket player we need,” Weatherspoon said. “She could be the Venus Lacy that everyone knew. She takes up a lot of the paint, using her strength and length.

She is one player we will go to in the paint because of her size. She can also stretch defenders by stepping out. We are working with her on putting the ball

on the floor and getting to the rim. She has a big body which will help her defend the painted area. She blocks shots so well. I think last year was a great learning experience for her.”

Anderson was a McDonald’s AllAmerican nominee at Grenada High School in Mississippi where she averaged almost a double double her junior year.

Sophomore Reina Kempt returns for her second season after playing a limited amount of minutes as a true freshman behind both Johnson and Dowdell. Weatherspoon said she has been pleased with what she has seen from Kempt this fall.

“Reina did a tremendous job of working during the off-season,” Weatherspoon said. “She didn’t get to play much last year, and I think people will see a difference in the work she put in this summer. Everything she learned from last season she has implemented in her game. She is getting to the rim and using her body to finish at the rim.

She has come back ready to contribute.”

Kempt saw action in only eight games last year, scoring a career-high four points in the win over Centenary.

Shantale Bramble-Donaldson begins her first season at LA Tech after

signing out of Indian River State College in Florida where she led the program to back-to-back Southern Conference championships. The 6-foot-1-inch forward should see significant action for Tech immediately.

“Shantale is just an incredible athlete,” Weatherspoon said. “You can play her anywhere. To have her alongside Adrienne will create such a difficult matchup for opposing teams. She has nice range as she can step out and shoot although we would like her to become more consistent on her jump shot. She defends well but we want her to learn to defend even better. She is a great rebounder; has a nose for the basketball. We are looking for her to put up some big numbers.”

Bramble-Donaldson averaged 14.8 points and 12.5 rebounds per game as a sophomore while shooting 54 percent from the field and 60 percent from the free throw line. She ranked fourth nationally in rebounding while being named the Southern Conference Player of the Year.

TERESA

WEATHERSPOON HEAD COACH

Louisiana Tech boasts one of the legendary players in women’s basketball and one of the rising young stars in the coaching business in head coach Teresa Weatherspoon.

Weatherspoon, who was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in June, returned to her alma mater as the associate head coach in 2008 and less

than two full years later led the Lady Techsters back to the NCAA Tournament.

A two-time all-American during her playing days at LA Tech, Weatherspoon led the Lady Techsters to 23-9 record in 200910 - her first full year as the head coach - as well as the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Tournament title and the programs 26th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, its first since 2006.

The Lady Techsters played toe-to-toe with some of the nation’s top teams during the season, including: • falling to 4th ranked Baylor by only 10 points in Waco. Baylor advanced to the Final Four.

• leading ACC champion and 9th ranked Florida State by nine points in the first half and only trailing by four with two minutes to play before losing. The Seminoles advanced to the Elite Eight.

• leading 21st ranked Mississippi State by 10 points in the second half before falling by four to the Lady Bulldogs. MSU advanced to the Sweet 16.

• Trailing 25th ranked LSU by 16 before fighting back to trail by one with less than a minute to play before losing by three. LSU advanced to the field of 32.

And although Weatherspoon was not satisfied or content with any of the losses, it was proof that the model of intensity on the sideline has the Lady Techsters on the right path. In just two short years, Weatherspoon has recorded an overall coaching record of 32-11.

Weatherspoon also help mold two-time WAC Player of the Year Shanavia Dowdell into one of the nation’s top posts. Dowdell led the country with 22 double doubles and was selected 18th overall in the 2010 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics.

Weatherspoon was rewarded for her efforts by being named the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year.

It was just another distinguished honor to put on an already endless list of awards won by Weatherspoon during her playing and coaching days.

A quick glance at some of Weather-

• 2-time Kodak All-American • 1988 Wade Trophy Winner • 1988 NCAA National Champion • 2-time Olympian • 5-time WNBA All-Star • 2-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year And now Weatherspoon is already adding to that resume on the coaching side.

After being hired as the associate head coach in April of 2008, it didn’t take long for her to move up in the coaching ranks.

The legendary collegiate and WNBA guard was named only the fifth head coach in the storied history of the Lady Techster basketball program during a press conference held in the Charles Wyly Athletic Center April 2, 2009.

Weatherspoon earned the promotion after she took over the program as interim head coach on Feb. 9, 2009 and guided Louisiana Tech to a 9-2 mark down the stretch, the 2009 Western Athletic Conference regular sea-

She won her first eight games after being named interim head coach, an accomplishment that even two of her Hall of Fame predecessors Leon Barmore and Sonja Hogg couldn’t match in their first years.

The win streak propelled Tech from fifth place to first place in only a three week span as the Lady Techsters claimed a share of the 2009 WAC regular season title.

And although the winning streak was eventually snapped by a 91-88 overtime loss to Nevada in the semifinals of the 2009 WAC Tournament, Tech still earned a postseason berth in the WNIT where it dismantled Conference USA champion SMU before falling to Illinois State in the second round.

The combination of Weatherspoon’s success on the sideline, legendary status as a player in the Columbia blue uniform in the 1980s, and reputation as one of the WNBA’s all-time greatest players, made the decision an easy one for Tech administrators.

Weatherspoon announced her decision to return to LA Tech as the associate head coach during an emotional speech at the annual Lady Techster Basketball Appreciation Banquet April 11, 2008 in news that energized the fan base.

One year later, the Pineland, Texas native takes over the reigns of the second winningest pro-

gram in the history of the game.

Weatherspoon was hired as the associate head coach at Louisiana Tech last April after spending eight seasons as a player in the WNBA -- seven with the New York Liberty and one with the Los Angeles Sparks.

During her time in the league, Weatherspoon started 220 straight games and led the Liberty to three WNBA championship appearances in 1997, 1999 and 2000. She was a five-time WNBA All-Star, a four-time all-WNBA second teamer and the two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year.

She still ranks No. 3 in career assists (1,338) and No. 8 in career steals (465) in the history of the WNBA. Her professional playing experience started in 1988 when she went overseas to play. Weatherspoon spent six years in Italy -- where she was named a six-time all-star -and two years in Russia.

And as impressive as her professional playing resume is, it doesn’t hold a candle to the one she built as a player at Louisiana Tech.

During her Louisiana Tech playing career which spanned from 1984 through 1988, Weatherspoon was a two-time Kodak AllAmerican (1987, 1988) and won the prestigious Wade Trophy as the top player in the country during her senior season.

In fact as a senior, Weatherspoon earned an incredible trifecta as she was named the state player of the year, the American South Conference Player of the Year and the national player of the year.

In that same year (1988), Weatherspoon won a national championship title -- LA Tech defeated Auburn 56-54 in the NCAA title game -- and an Olympic gold medal as part of the US National Team.

She said she owes it all to her days of playing for Barmore, the five-time Hall of Fame coach who retired as the winningest coach (percentagewise) in the history of the game.

“Knowing I played here under the best - and I capitalize every letter on Coach Barmore’s name - it’s truly overwhelming to return,” Weatherspoon said. “It’s only right for me to give back to a place and a program that gave so much to me.”

She led the Lady Techsters to a mark of 118-14 during her career and two national championship game appearances in 1987 and 1988, earning spots on the All-Final Four teams both years. She was instrumental in leading Tech to a remarkable second half comeback against Auburn to claim the 1988 National Championship Title.

Weatherspoon -- whose No. 11 jersey is retired at LA Tech -- was named to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Team of the Decade for the 1980’s. A member of the 1,000-point club (1,087) at LA Tech, she still ranks No. 1 in career assists (958) and career steals (411).

Weatherspoon also earned distinction in USA Basketball circles, leading the US to the gold medal in the 1988 Olympics and the bronzemedal in the 1992 Olympics. She also earned gold medals in the 1986 World Championships, the 1986 Goodwill Games and the 1987 World University Games.

Although this is Weatherspoon’s first collegiate head coaching position, she served as the head coach of the America Basketball Association’s Westchester Phantoms in 2008.

Weatherspoon earned her bachelor’s degree from Louisiana Tech.

DARON

PARK

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

58

Daron Park was a big reason for Louisiana Tech’s return to the NCAA Tournament last year as the Lady Techster associate head coach brought a wealth of knowledge with him when he joined Teresa Weatherspoon’s staff prior to the 2009-10 season.

Park came to LA Tech after spending two years as an assistant coach on Brenda Frese’s staff at Maryland where he was an integral part of the Terrapins success, helping Maryland to a pair of Elite Eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament and an ACC regular season and tournament title.

“Teacher,” Weatherspoon said.

“Daron is a great teacher of this game.

He knows so much about the game of basketball. He has been there and done that. He coached at Maryland and everyone knows about the success of that program during the last decade.

“What I really like about Daron is he wants to be here, and he wants to be a part of this program. He wants to help with the rebuilding process as we put the program back on its foundation.”

During his first year at Louisiana Tech, Park worked closely with the Lady Techster post players as Shanavia Dowdell and Adrienne Johnson both earned first team all-WAC honors.

Dowdell averaged a double double while ranking in the top 5 in the country in rebounding and earning her second straight WAC Player of the Year award.

She was selected in the second round of the 2010 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics.

Individual success stories like there are not unfamiliar to Park.

During his coaching career, he has worked with a number of high-profile players including Kristi Toliver (AllAmerican, Lieberman Award winner, WNBA 1st round selection), Marissa Coleman (WNBA 1st round), Crystal Langhorne (All-American, WNBA 1st round), Laura Harper (WNBA 1st round), Shona Thorburn (WNBA 1st round) and Kim Smith (WNBA 1st round).

During his first year at Maryland while head coach Brenda Frese was on leave for part of the season, Park served as acting head coach and led the Terrapins to an 8-1 mark with the lone loss coming in double overtime to No. 3 North Carolina. Included in those eight victories was a road win against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium, completing the first sweep of the Blue Devils for the Terps in more than 15 years.

Park’s responsibilities at LA Tech include on-the-floor coaching of the Techster post players, serving as the recruiting coordinator, overseeing the operating budget for the program, as well as overseeing scouting reports and game preparations.

“I am so excited to be a part of Coach Weatherspoon’s staff and the tradition-rich program at Louisiana Tech,” Park said. “Her passion for the university was evident from the first moment I spoke with her, and it is easy to see the positive impact she has had since her return to Ruston.

“There is an amazing amount of

pride and support for women’s basketball in the local community. I am anxious to continue to help Coach Weatherspoon build a program that will make past, present and future Lady Techsters proud.”

Park was instrumental in helping Maryland earn a pair of Top 5 national rankings, a preseason WNIT Championship, two No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, and 64 victories, including a 24-4 mark in ACC games.

Prior to his stint at Maryland, Park served as an assistant coach for legendary Utah coach Elaine Elliott from 2004 through 2007 as the Utes won two Mountain West Conference championships and earned two appearances in the NCAA Tournament, including an Elite Eight appearance in 2006. During his three years at Utah, the Utes won 72 games.

Park also has head coaching experience as he served as the head coach at NAIA Westminster College for four years (2000-04) during which time the program boasted 30 academic all-conference recipients and eight Academic All-Americans. Park began his college coaching career as an assistant at Westminster in 1999.

The Great Falls, Montana native earned his bachelor’s degree in health enhancement from Montana State in 1994.

Park and his wife Laura have one daughter, Rylee (10), and one son, Dillon (5).

Sara

Carter

Assistant Coach

During her playing days at South Alabama, Sara Carter was known for her intensity, fundamentals and drive to excel.

Thus, its no surprise that head coach Teresa Weatherspoon has Carter on her staff working with the Lady Techster guards. Afterall, Weatherspoon was a player in that same mold.

“Fire,” Weatherspoon said. “If I use one word to describe Sara, it’s firey. She is a great instructor. She is in charge of developing our guards, and they have a great understanding of what we expect from them because of the job she does. Everything offensively and defensively starts with the guard position, and so it’s vital that we have someone with Sara’s ability working with them.”

Carter has served an instrumental role as an assistant coach in the Lady Techsters 2009 Western Athletic Conference regular season championship and 2010 WAC Tournament titles the past two years.

During her first two seasons at Louisiana Tech, Carter worked closely with the Lady Techster guards, a group that has seen a vast improvement in assist to turnover ratio. In each of the past two years the LA Tech point guards have recorded impressive numbers led by junior Jasmine Bendolph who has made steady strides.

In addition to Carter’s responsibilities with the Tech guards, she also oversees the players academic progress, serves as the liaison to academic coordinator Lisa Merritt, oversees scheduling, devises scouting reports and serves as the technology coordinator for the program, and assists in recruiting high school athletes in the southern region as well as all junior college recruiting.

Carter came to Tech after working three years on the women’s basketball staff at Ole Miss. Carter was one of the key components to turning the South Alabama program into a contender during her playing days (2000-04). During her career, she was a two-time team captain and was named to the Sun Belt Conference preseason team prior to her senior season.

The Gulfport, Miss. Native was a four-time recipient of the Sun Belt Conference all-academic award and also won the Wilma Rudolph Award (2004) as the Outstanding Woman Athlete of the Year.

“I enjoy working with the athletes at Louisiana Tech,” Dr. Bundrick said. “It is a joy to work with athletes because they are people who want to get better and get back on the field.”

It was in 1957 that Dr. Bundrick, a young standout football player, decided to transfer from Texas A&M to Louisiana Tech. He earned three letters in football at Tech, including cocaptaining the 1959 team to a 9-1 record.

In 1969, Dr. Bundrick joined the staff at the Bone and Joint Clinic in Shreveport, and he has earned the reputation as one of the top orthopedic doctors in the country ever since.

He regained his connection with Louisiana Tech in 1973 when former Bulldog coach Pat Collins saw him at a Captain Shreve High School football game and asked him if he could travel to Ruston to help with the medical treatment of the players during practices. Dr. Bundrick agreed and has been going back and forth from Shreveport to Ruston for almost four decades.

Dr. Bundrick’s love for his alma mater shows as he has been a generous benefactor including funding the state-of-

Season in Review Louisiana Tech 88, Centenary 41 Nov. 13, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Adrienne Johnson scored 29 points and Brietta Thomas added a career-high 22 points to lead Louisiana Tech to an 88-41 win over Centenary Friday night before 1,015 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Tech (1-0) dressed only eight players for the game due to injuries as the Lady Techsters improved to 31-5 all-time in home openers, including 24-4 at the Thomas Assembly Center.

“We didn’t get off to a good start, but we will learn from our mistakes,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “This is exactly what we needed. We can watch film - film doesn’t lie. We can show the young ladies what they did wrong and work on getting better over the next week.”

Johnson hit 14-of-19 field goals to earn top scoring honors on the night while adding four rebounds, four steals, two blocks and two assists. Thomas, making the start in place of the injured Tiawana Pringle, connected on 9-of-13 field goals, including 4-of-6 three-pointers, as she edged her previous career-high of 19 points scored last year in a win over Arizona.

“I was proud of both Adrienne and Brietta,” Weatherspoon said. “Adrienne is a freakish athlete. She is so incredible and can do so many things as people saw tonight. Brietta is really doing a better job of staying patient on the offensive end and letting things come to her. She is not forcing her shot.”

Sophomore Kiara Young came off the bench to record her first career double double with 10 points and a game-high 14 rebounds while Whitney Jones added 14 points.

“What people don’t realize is Kiara is a good rebounder,” Weatherspoon said. “She’s is starting to get comfortable (on the college level). We are working on her becoming more consistent as a player.”

After getting off to a slow start that saw Centenary build an early 5-0 lead and hold LA Tech without a field goal for the first four-plus minutes, the Lady Techsters started catching their rhythm. Despite reigning WAC Player of the Year Shanavia Dowdell sitting the final 17 minutes of the first half on the bench with two personal fouls, Tech caught fire.

Trailing 10-9 with 11 minutes to play in the opening stanza, Tech used a 20-2 run over a five minute stretch to build a 29-12 lead as Thomas scored 11 points during the run. Despite missing six of its first seven shots, Tech ended the half by nailing 17 of its final 28 field goals to lead 42-22 at the break.

Tech didn’t let up in the second half, hitting 61 percent (19-of-31) of its field goals.

After Centenary scored 11 points in the first five minutes of the second half, Tech held the Ladies to only eight points over the final 15 minutes of the game.

Centenary shot only 22 percent (7-32) from the field in the second half, including only 3 of 25 down the stretch.

For the game, Tech shot 56 percent (37-of-66) while holding the Ladies to only 26 percent (15-of-58). Tech also recorded 23 assists while only committing 11 turnovers.

Ashley Jackson led Centenary with 14 points while Anne Farrell recorded a double double with 12 points and 12 rebounds.

Louisiana Tech 90, Nicholls State 50 November 20, 2009 • Stopher Gym

THIBODAUX, La. - Adrienne Johnson score 18 points to lead five players in double figures as Louisiana Tech defeated Nicholls State 90-50 before 204 fans at Stopher Gym Friday night.

With the victory LA Tech improved to 2-0 on the young season setting up its biggest test of the year

when it travels to Jonesboro, Arkansas Tuesday to face Arkansas State.

Despite shooting 58 percent from the field and outrebounding Nicholls State 44-27, Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon was not nearly satisfied with her team’s performance.

“We did a lot of things well,” Weatherspoon said.

“However, we have a long way to go. We have to learn how to start games and we have to learn how to finish games. We weren’t very good at either tonight.”

Weatherspoon saw her team get off to a slow start as the Lady Techsters committed turnovers on each of its first four possessions of the game before Johnson hit a shot at the 17:33 mark to tie the game at 2-2 and start a 9-0 run.

Once the Lady Techters settled down offensively, they hit their first five shots from the field and built as much as a 28-14 lead with 9:05 to play. However, Nicholls State hit back-to-back three-pointers to cut the lead to 28-20 as the Colonels appeared to set to make a run.

However, junior guard Whitney Jones scored 10 points to ignite a 24-3 run to close the half as the Lady Techsters entered the locker room leading 52-23.

Tech hit 68 percent (22-32) of its field goals in the opening half while limiting Nicholls State to only 28 percent (9-32). Jones (14 points), Johnson (14 points) and Dowdell (12 points) each recorded double figures in the opening 20 minutes of play.

“I thought we settled down offensively after the first few minutes and played well in the first half,” Weatherspoon said. “We knew that if we ran our offense, they were going to have trouble guarding us. Nicholls State plays hard and they scrap. We just had an advantage with our size and we utilized it.”

Tech came out in the second half and struggled offensively, committing 11 turnovers over the final 20 minutes. The Lady Techsters scored only eight points in the first eight minutes of the final half in large part to missing a number of easy shots.

“We did miss a lot of close shots in the second half but I will say we did a good job of always hustling back to the defensive end,” Weatherspoon said. “Our effort was there. We got a little sloppy on the defensive end late and committed some fouls and sent them to the free throw line. It’s another game we will learn from as we move forward.”

In addition to Johnson’s 18-point performance, Jones added 16 points, Dowdell 14 points and 10 rebounds, Brietta Thomas 12 points and Tarkeisha Wysinger 12 points in the victory.

Rischanda Bickham led Nicholls State with 18 points although she only hit 6-of-22 field goals while Jasmine Hoskins added 13 points.

For the game, Tech shot 58 percent (35-60) from the field, including 5-of-8 from the three-point line. The Lady Techsters also hit 15-of-19 from the free throw line.

Louisiana Tech 71, Arkansas State 59 November 24, 2009 • Convocation Center

JONESBORO, Ark. - Louisiana Tech used a strong performance at the free throw line down the stretch to overcome 24 turnovers and down Arkansas State 71-59 Tuesday night at the Convocation Center.

Tech (3-0) hit 22-of-25 free throws in the second half including 14-of-16 over the final three minutes of the game to hold off a scrappy effort by the Red Wolves (2-4) who held a 29-26 halftime lead.

Sophomore guard Jasmine Bendolph recorded arguably the best game of her Tech career, scoring a game-high 16 points while grabbing four rebounds and recording three assists. Bendolph committed only one turnover despite being pressure full court most of the night by a plethora of Arkansas State defenders.

“I’m so proud of Jasmine,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “She didn’t feel very well tonight but she didn’t let it affect her on the court. She came over to me midway through the second half and said `Coach, I’m going to tough it out.’ She showed a lot of toughness tonight.”

After neither team was able to score in the first three minutes of the game, Tech finally got rolling and pulled out to a 12-4 lead at the 12:45 mark of the first half behind six early points from senior Shanavia Dowdell.

Leading 14-6, Tech then went cold as Arkansas State used a 12-0 run over a three minute stretch to grab an 18-14 lead as the Lady Techsters committed four turnovers and missed all three shot attempts during the spell.

A Kiara Young jumper at the 7:46 mark of the half snapped the scoreless drought but the Lady Techsters were unable to reclaim the lead as they entered the halftime locker room trailing 29-26. Fourteen first half turnovers by Tech led to 16 points by the Red Wolves.

“We didn’t do a good job of taking care of the basketball tonight,” Weatherspoon said. “But what I saw was a team that stuck with the game plan and stayed focused. We overcame a lot of adversity tonight and found a way to win.”

Tech scored the first six points of the second half to take a 32-29 lead and although Arkansas State was never able to pull back ahead, the game remained tight.

A Whitney Jones layup at the midway mark of the half gave Tech a 45-37 lead, matching its biggest of the game.

A Dowdell jumper with 4:35 to go in the game increased the Tech advantage to 57-48. It would be the last field goal of the game for the Lady Techsters as the final 14 points of the contest were scored at the free throw line.

In addition to Bendolph’s offensive output, Adrienne Johnson and Jones each added 14 points while Dowdell chipped in with 12 points and a game-high 16 rebounds. Johnson also pulled down 10 rebounds for her first double double of the year as the Lady Techsters dominated the glass, outrebounding Arkansas State 5330.

Ebonie Jefferson scored 20 points for Arkansas State. #7 LSU 77, Louisiana Tech 74 Dec. 1, 2009 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - If Tuesday night against 7th-ranked LSU was a statement game for Louisiana Tech, the Lady Techsters sent a pretty loud message to the women’s basketball world.

One of the most storied programs in the history of the game is making a comeback.

Head coach Teresa Weatherspoon and Co. used an incredible second half offensive performance to whittle a 17-point deficit down to one in the final minute before the Lady Tigers hit two clutch free throws with 12 seconds to play to escape with a 77-74 victory before 4,924 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center.

“I’m so proud of this basketball team,” Weatherspoon said. “Make no mistake about it; there is no moral victory tonight. We came into this game expecting to win.

We didn’t show up hoping to play LSU close. “

With Tech (3-1) trailing 75-74 on a Whitney Jones layup with 17 seconds to play, the Lady Techsters fouled LSU guard Allison Hightower with 16 seconds left, sending her to the free throw line. Hightower, who scored a game-high 32 points, missed the front end of a oneand-one but LaSondra Barrett pulled down an offensive rebound.

Tech then fouled Latear Eason with 12.6 seconds to play and Eason calmly sank both free throws to up the LSU advantage to 77-74. After a timeout, Tech tried to get

louisiana tech LADY TECHSTERS 2-of-10 shooting as the Lady Techsters slowly climbed back into the game.

“Allowing her to score 25 points in the first half was unacceptable,” Weatherspoon said. “She is a tremendous player, no question about that. However, we didn’t do our job defensively on her in the first half. We did a much better job in the second half defensively.”

Tech also turned it up a notch offensively against one of the nation’s top defensive teams. LSU entered the contest only allowing 45 points game but LA Tech hit 59 percent (17-of-29) of its field goals over the final 20 minutes of play and outscored the Tigers 46-34.

Dowdell spearheaded the effort with a team-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting while Johnson chipped in with 17 points. Jasmine Bendolph and Jones each recorded 11 points in the loss.

“We settled down in the second half,” Weatherspoon said. “Instead of taking the shots that LSU wanted us to take, we ran our offense and got the shots we wanted. They started double teaming our posts and they were patient and found cutters for open layups.”

Tech cut the LSU to one point on three different occasions inside the final two minutes but the Tigers answered every time as the Lady Techsters never gained possession of the ball with a chance to take the lead.

In addition to Hightower’s 32 points, Barrett added 14 points and Taylor Turnbow scored 12 points.

Brietta Thomas open for a three-pointer but LSU guarded the play well and junior forward Adrienne Johnson was forced to attempt a desperation three-pointer at the buzzer that fell just short.

“That was a great basketball team we just played,” Weatherspoon said. “That was a great basketball game.

It was two teams who both gave full effort for 40 minutes.

We made some mistakes and we have to learn from them. I know we will.”

With just over 17 minutes to play in the game, Weatherspoon had seen more mistakes then she probably cared to admit as LSU used a 12-2 run to close the first half to grab a 43-28 halftime advantage.

A LaSondra Barrett bucket with 17:02 to play in the second half gave LSU a 52-35 advantage before the Lady Techsters showed that they have the talent and desire to play with the best teams in the country.

Reigning Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year Shanavia Dowdell scored with 16:47 to play to trigger a 10-0 LA Tech run over the next three minutes as the Lady Techsters cut the deficit to 52-45.

Five different Techsters scored during the run as Weatherspoon saw her team turn up the defensive intensity on LSU guard Allison Hightower, who torched Tech for 25 first half points.

Hightower hit 8-of-13 field goals, 3-of-4 threepointers including a one-handed 30-footer with the shot clock running down and 6-of-9 free throws in the opening 20 minutes to single-handedly give the Tigers the 15-point halftime lead.

However, Tech adjusted and limited the All-American candidate to only seven points in the second half on

WACO - Brittney Griner scored 22 pionts, grabbed eight rebounds and recorded six blocks to lead 8th ranked Baylor to a 77-67 win over Louisiana Tech before 6,582 fans at the Ferrell Center Saturday afternoon.

The Lady Bears improved to 7-1 on the season although the win wasn’t easy as LA Tech fought for 40 minutes before dropping its second game to a Top 10 team in five days.

And Griner’s points didn’t come easy. Tech AllAmerican candidate Shanavia Dowdell battled the 6-foot8-inch freshman center most of the night. In fact it wasn’t until Dowdell was whistled for her third foul at the 8:25 mark of the first half that Baylor started to separate itself from LA Tech.

With Baylor leading 15-11 after a three-pointer by sophomore Jasmine Bendolph at the 9:21 mark of the opening half, Griner pulled down an offensive rebound and scored on the putback as the officials called the third personal foul of the game on Dowdell.

The call drew loud protest from Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon, who was assessed a technical foul. Dowdell had to sit, Baylor hit all three free throws and the five-point possession started a 17-1 run over the next two minutes as the Bears eventually led 43-24 at the half.

“I thought we were really battling with them up to that point,” Weatherspoon said. “Shanavia was giving up six inches to (Griner) and had to be physical. It changed the complexion of the game for us when she picked up her third foul.

“Baylor is a very big, physical basketball team and when we had to go small, it made it tough. I thought Shanavia was doing a tremendous job against Griner up to that point. It was tough for us to match up the rest of the half.”

Prior to Dowdell exiting the game, Griner and post teammate Morghan Medlock had only combined for eight points but the duo scored 15 the remainder of the half against the smaller LA Tech lineup.

Tech hit only 29 percent (10-34) of its field goals in the first half, including only 1-of-10 from beyond the arc, while Baylor hit 46 percent (16-35) of its shots.

The second half didn’t start much better for LA Tech as Dowdell was called for her fourth personal foul at the 18:35 mark on a call away from the basketball once

again trying to battle with Griner.

Weatherspoon chose to keep her senior in the game and the decision paid off as Dowdell scored 13 of her game-high 17 points the rest of the way while adding nine rebounds and two blocked shots.

“What people need to see Shanavia Dowdell for who she is . one of the best post players in the country,” Weatherspoon said. “To have two post players like her and Adrienne Johnson doing what they are doing, that’s special. They are undersized but they are still two of the best.”

Baylor upped its advantage to as many as 24 at 53-29 with 15:44 to play before LA Tech started chipping away at the Bears lead. A 15-6 run by the Lady Techsters sparked by six points from Dowdell during a four-minute stretch trimmed the Baylor lead to 59-44 with 11:58 to play in the game.

The Bears would push the advantage out to 22 at 68-46 with 9:39 to play on a Shanay Washington layup before Tech closed the game on a 21-9 run - it all coming against Baylor’s starters.

Tech shot 49 percent (16-33) from the field in the second half and scored 43 points over the final 20 minutes against a Baylor defense that ranked No. 1 in the country in field goal percentage defense. For the game, Tech hit 39 percent (26-67) of its field goals.

“We aren’t about moral victories,” Weatherspoon said. “However, our kids came in here and did exactly what we asked of them. The effort was there. We just have to learn that we have to do all the little things for 40 minutes in order to be successful.

“I saw some good things. We just have to continue to build on the little things and to get better as a team.

These young ladies will continue working hard to do just that, and we will get better.”

In addition to Dowdell’s 17 points, Tarkeisha Wysinger came off the LA Tech bench to score 13 points and grab seven rebounds while battling against the bigger Baylor lineup. Whitney Jones and Johnson each added 11 points while Bendolph scored nine.

Medlock added 15 points and nine rebounds for the Bears.

Baylor outrebounded LA Tech 41-40 in the game.

Louisiana Tech 63, Western Kentucky 52 Dec. 9, 2009 • E. A. Diddle Arena

BOWLING Green, Kentucky - Through the first 28 minutes of its game Wednesday night, Louisiana Tech appeared to be on life support as the Lady Techsters fell behind by 14 points on the road to Western Kentucky.

However, junior guards Tarkeisha Wysinger and Brietta Thomas provided the spark needed to resuscitate the Lady Techsters as LA Tech used a 37-12 run to close the game and defeat the Lady Toppers 63-52 at E.A. Diddle Arena.

After an Amy McNear jumper gave the Lady Toppers a 40-26 lead with 12:48 to play in the game, LA Tech forward Adrienne Johnson hit a jumper that started a 7-0 mini-run that was capped by a Jasmine Bendolph threepointer and seemed to bring the Lady Techsters back to life.

“I just told them that we can’t continue to not play for 40 minutes and expect to win,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “We won. We got our backs against the wall and started fighting. However, once again, we didn’t do the little things that we needed to do in order to not fall behind.

“This was a very good Western Kentucky basketball team we just played. We came out and didn’t execute like we needed to and that’s why we fell behind.

We can learn a lot of lessons from this game tonight.”

Tech eventually cut the WKU lead down to one on a pair of free throws by Shanavia Dowdell with 5:28 to play and after a missed jumper by McNear, Johnson gave the Lady Techsters their first lead of the game at 49-48 on a 17-footer with 4:46 left.

That’s when Wysinger and Thomas came up huge.

With Tech leading 51-50 with less than three minutes to play, Bendolph missed a jumper in the lane but Wysinger pulled down the offensive rebound and made the putback to up the Lady Techster advantage to 53-50.

After a turnover by WKU on its ensuing possession, Thomas made arguably the biggest shot of the night as she drained an 18-footer with a Lady Topper defender in her face just as the shot clock was about to go off, giving Tech a 55-50 lead.

Western would get no closer as Tech hit 7-of-8 free throws in the final 80 seconds to snap a four-game losing streak to the Lady Toppers.

“I thought Brietta and Tarkeisha both gave us energy off the bench,” Weatherspoon said. “They both made big plays down the stretch for us. We needed stops on the defensive end and we needed to rebound and they both helped us at that end as well. Western was really doing a number on us on the glass. It was when we started defending and rebounding that we made our run.”

For the fourth straight game, LA Tech found itself trailing at the half as WKU led 25-20 at intermission after the Lady Techsters hit only 6-of-28 field goals in the opening half. Tech didn’t start the second half much better, hitting only 3-of-9 shots to begin the frame before connecting on 10 of its final 15 shot attempts.

Tech also hit 15-of-17 free throws in the second half and ended the game 23-of-27 from the charity stripe for 85 percent.

Johnson led Tech with 17 points and 10 rebounds while Dowdell also recorded a double double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

However, it was the job that the duo did down the stretch on WKU’s Arnika Brown that paved the way for the win. Brown, who ended the game with 16 points and 15 rebounds, scored only four points down the stretch as WKU hit only two of its final 10 field goal attempts.

The Lady Techsters also held a good three-point shooting team to only 3-of-17 for the game.

Bendolph added 13 points for Tech. Thomas, who didn’t play in the first half, was 3-for-3 for seven points and Wysinger scored six points.

McNear led the Lady Toppers with 19 points. The Lady Techsters outrebounded Western Kentucky 43-37.

Mississippi State 72, Louisiana Tech 68 Dec. 12, 2009 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Mississippi State used a 15-0 run midway through the second half to erase a 10-point deficit and defeat Louisiana Tech 72-68 before 1,930 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Saturday night.

After an Adrienne Johnson free throw at the 10:16 mark of the second half gave the Lady Techsters (4-3) a 49-39 lead, Alexis Rack scored 11 points in a 15-0 Lady Bulldogs run over the next three-plus minutes as Mississippi State (6-3) took a 54-49 advantage.

The Lady Bulldogs upped the advantage to 57-51 on a Tysheka Grimes three-pointer at the 5:43 mark of the final period before LA Tech used a Tarkeisha Wysinger conventional three-point play and a Tiawana Pringle three-point shot to tie the game at 57-57 with under four minutes to play.

With the game tied at 61-61 on a Johnson layup with 2:12 to play, Mississippi State guard Armelie Lumanu started a 7-0 run for the Lady Bulldogs with a layup as State grabbed a 68-61 advantage with less than a minute remaining.

However, Tech would not go away quietly as Pringle scored seven straight points, including her second three-pointer of the game with 24 seconds to play as the Lady Techsters pulled to within 70-68. Lumanu sealed the win for State with a pair of free throws with 16 seconds left as Mississippi State won for the third straight time in the series.

The story of the night for Tech was missed opportunities as the Lady Techsters lost despite shooting 49 percent (25-51) from the field and holding Mississippi State to only 34 percent (22-64) shooting. Tech also outrebounded the bigger Lady Bulldogs team 41-34.

However, Tech was doomed by 24 turnovers and the hot-hand of Rack, who ended the night with 32 points, including 20 points in the final half of play.

Rack, who entered the game averaging 19.1 points a contest, hit 9-of-20 shots, including 6-of-14 from beyond the arc, while also connecting on 9-of-12 free throws.

She also added six steals as State recorded 17 steals in the contest.

The first half saw the two teams trade the lead five times. Rack gave State a 22-17 lead on a three-pointer with 7:06 to play in the opening half before the Lady

Techsters finished on a 14-5 run sparked by eight points from Johnson.

Tech opened the second half strong pushing its lead to 39-32 when Grimes was assessed a technical foul after arguing following being called for a personal foul going for a loose basketball with Johnson. However, Johnson hit only 1-of-2 free throws on the technical and then missed the front end of the one-and-one as the Lady Techsters were only able to extend the lead to eight points on the play.

For the game, Johnson led Tech with 18 points and seven rebounds while Shanavia Dowdell added 16 points and eight rebounds. Pringle scored all 12 of her points in the final five minutes of the game.

Lumanu added 20 points for Mississippi State.

Louisiana Tech 94, McNeese State 61 December 16, 2009 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Adrienne Johnson scored 22 points and Shanavia Dowdell added 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead Louisiana Tech to a 94-61 win over McNeese State before 1,862 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Wednesday night.

Tech (5-3) led from start to finish although the Cowgirls (3-6) kept things close for the first 25 minutes before the Lady Techsters pulled away for the 33-point victory.

“I give McNeese State a lot of credit,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “They play extremely hard. We didn’t do as good of a job early in the game of defending them as we needed to and some of that is a credit to them. They played with great effort tonight. I thought we did a lot of good things too.”

Whitney Jones, who entered the game having hit only 2-of-15 three-pointers on the year, connected on 4-of-6 from beyond the arc to score 12 points while Tarkeisha Wysinger once again provided a spark off the bench with 10 points, two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two assists in 18 minutes.

Tiawana Pringle added nine points while Jasmine Bendolph and Kiara Young each scored seven. All 10 LA Tech players who saw action scored in the game.

However, it was Dowdell who dominated the game early, scoring the first seven points of the game and 15 first half points to lead LA Tech to a 44-28 halftime advantage. Dowdell hit 7-of-9 field goals in the opening 20 minutes and almost had recorded a double double by the half with nine boards.

“Adrienne and Shanavia are such tough match-ups for a lot of teams and tonight was no different,” Weatherspoon said. “Whitney (Jones) shot the ball well; she has been shooting well all week in practice so it didn’t surprise me. We got a chance to play everyone and we needed to be able to do that. I still had to play Adrienne and Shanavia longer than I had planned.”

A Wysinger layup at the 12:44 mark of the first half gave Tech its first double digit lead of the game at 21-10 before the Lady Techsters went cold, going more than four minutes without a point while McNeese State cut the advantage down to 21-15 on a pair of free throws by Raiyawna Gatlin at the 9:50 mark.

However, Wysinger got Tech started again with a bucket at the 8:22 mark as Tech outscored the Cowgirls 23-13 over the remainder of the first half.

Tech hit 53 percent (19-36) of its field goals in the first half, including 4-of-8 from the three-point line, while holding McNeese State to only 31 percent (11-35). The Cowgirls kept things close by outrebounding Tech 24-22, including pulling down eight offensive boards.

“Putbacks really hurt us in the first half,” Weatherspoon said. “They were forcing us under the basketball and getting the offensive rebounds. We have to do a better job than we did tonight in that area.”

After McNeese State cut the Tech lead down to 11 early in the second half, Johnson warmed up scoring 15 of her game-high 22 points in the final 20 minutes of play

as Tech started to pull away.

Kendra Wells and Kiara Johnson proved tough to defend for LA Tech as Wells scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Johnson added 18 points.

For the game, Tech shot 55 percent (35-64) from the field, hit 8-of-18 three-pointers and connected on 16-of-23 free throws.

Louisiana Tech 86, Memphis 76 Dec. 22, 2009 • Thomas Assembly Center

86

RUSTON - Ten minutes into Tuesday night’s game against Memphis, Louisiana Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon wasn’t having a Merry Christmas.

However, the Lady Techsters settled down and defeated Memphis 86-76 at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Weatherspoon had just watched her team commit five turnovers in a two-minute span that led to a 13-0 Tigers run and a 28-15 Memphis advantage.

Following a 30-second timeout by Weatherspoon, her team responded erupting for a 16-0 run over the next four-plus minutes. A jumper by Adrienne Johnson at the 5:40 mark of the half gave the Lady Techsters a 31-28 lead.

“We got off to an awful start,” said Weatherspoon, who saw her team surrender 30 points off of 21 turnovers in the game. “We couldn’t get the ball into the front court during that one stretch. We gave up five straight layups off turnovers.

“Memphis was picking us up full court because we felt they would have had a tough time against us in the half court, and then we played right into their hands with all the turnovers. We started settling down and taking it at them, and we got some easy baskets.”

Although Memphis (5-6) would lead 40-39 at the break, the Lady Techsters (6-3) were right back in the game.

“I thought the 16-0 run and how quickly it happened for us was critical,” Weatherspoon said. “I’m not sure if we could have gotten back into the game tonight if we had stayed down (double digits) for any length of time. At the end of the day, we found a way to win.”

Although Johnson (11 points) and Whitney Jones (10) led LA Tech in scoring in the first half, it was the play of reserves Tarkeisha Wysinger and Martina Holloway that triggered the energy needed to fight back.

“We also talk to the girls about how they never know when they will be called upon,” Weatherspoon said. “With Jasmine out tonight, we needed those two and they both responded. They made some big plays for us tonight.”

Bendolph, Tech’s starting point guard, played only six minutes early in the game trying to contribute despite being sick but the sophomore simply didn’t have the energy or strength to combat the Memphis press.

Holloway responded by logging career highs in points (10), rebounds (8), assists (5) and minutes (30), including a couple of big three-pointers in the second half. Her second trifecta of the night at the 14:36 mark gave Tech its biggest lead of the night at 55-48.

However, Memphis responded, using a 12-4 run over the next three minutes to retake the lead at 60-59 on a long three-pointer by Alex Winchell.

With the two teams tied at 62-62, Tech scored six straight points capped by a three-point play by Wysinger at the 9:15 mark to take a 68-62 lead. Memphis would close the gap to 76-73 with three minutes to play before Shanavia Dowdell hit a 15-footer to make it 78-73 and then Johnson hit back-to-back shots to give the Lady Techsters a more comfortable 82-73 lead with just over a minute to play.

“We haven’t even come close to tapping the potential that Adrienne has,” Weatherspoon said. “She was all over the place tonight. She was huge on the offensive end and then came up with some big blocks at critical times on the defensive end.”

Johnson ended the night with 23 points, eight rebounds, a career-high five assists, a season-high five blocks and three steals in 37 minutes.

Jones added a season-high 19 points while Dowdell scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

Wysinger scored 13 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and recorded four steals in 23 minutes.

Defensively, the Lady Techsters held Brittany Carter, the nation’s 14th leading scorer, to only 10 points on 4-of-20 shooting. Winchell led Memphis with 18 points while Ramses Lonlack added 16 points.

Tech shot 48 percent (30-63) from the field but struggled at the free throw line, hitting only 21-of-35 for the game. Memphis shot 44 percent (32-73) from the field.

The Lady Techsters outrebounded Memphis 45-42.

Louisiana Tech 65, Stephen F. Austin 61 Dec. 29, 2009 • Convocation Center

SAN ANTONIO - Adrienne Johnson scored 20 points while Shanavia Dowdell added 14 points and 16 rebounds to lead Louisiana Tech to a 65-61 win over Stephen F. Austin in the first game of the 2009 UTSA New Year’s Classic at the Convocation Center Tuesday evening.

However, it was a couple of key plays by junior guard Whitney Jones late that propelled the Lady Techsters (7-3) to the four-point victory.

After seeing SFA (5-4) storm back from a 17-point

second half deficit to take its first and only lead of the game at 61-60 with 1:48 to play on a jumper by Ebony Alexander, Jones sprinted up the court and scored on a fast break layup nine seconds later to give LA Tech a 62-61 advantage.

Jones then blocked a jumper by SFA’s Whitney Cormier with 33 seconds to play in the game as Dowdell pulled down the rebound and was fouled.

Following two free throws by Dowdell which upped Tech’s advantage to 64-61, Jones came up big one final time, forcing Cormier into an off-balance fade-away three-pointer with 21 seconds left.

Tech guard Tiawana Pringle pulled down the miss and hit 1-of-2 free throws as Tech pulled away for its seventh victory of the season.

“Whitney was focused defensively for us,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “We knew that Cormier was an incredible offensive player for them and Whit did a great job of keeping her under control all night. She also came through offensively in a crucial moment late, running the floor and giving us the lead by taking the basketball to the goal. Whitney did all the little things late and gave us a chance to be successful.”

Jones’ late heroics were necessary after LA Tech saw a 17-point lead early in the second half evaporate.

A three-pointer by Jones - one of only two made by LA Tech all night - gave the Lady Techsters 43-26 advantage with 18:57 to play.

However, a conventional three-point play by Alexander started a 12-0 Ladyjacks run over the next five minutes as Tech committed seven turnovers and missed all three of its field goal attempts during the timeframe.

A Dowdell layup at the 14:23 mark broke the scoreless streak for Tech as the Techsters pushed the advantage back out to as many as nine. With Tech lead 55-49 with just under 10 minutes to play SFA used a 6-0 run to tie the game at 55-55 on a pair of free throws by Toni Davis, the first time the game had been tied since the opening tip.

With Tech leading 60-59 on a Johnson free throw with 4:38 to play, both teams went cold before Alexander finally scored with 1:48 to play, giving SFA its only lead of the game and setting up the final heroics for Jones.

Tech won despite committing 27 turnovers in the game and allowing 22 offensive rebounds by the smaller SFA Ladyjacks.

“It’s unbelievable that we won,” Weatherspoon said. “Playing as poorly as we did in the second half and allowing them to get back into the game; committing 27 turnovers and allowing 22 offensive rebounds. You wouldn’t think we would have won. Give SFA credit. Their players played hard for 40 minutes.

“Our kids continued to fight when things weren’t going well for us. That’s a positive. We must clean things up and sharpen our game in order to win.”

Jones finished with 13 points and eight rebounds for Tech, which won despite starting point guard Jasmine Bendolph only playing eight minutes and top reserve Tarkeisha Wysinger not touching the floor due to health issues.

Alexander was the lone SFA player in double figures with 13 points.

Tech shot 40 percent (23-57) from the field, but hit only 8-of-26 field goals in the second half. The Lady Techsters outrebounded SFA 55-47.

Louisiana Tech 82, UTSA 72 Dec. 30, 2009 • Convocation Center

SAN ANTONIO - Shanavia Dowdell had a career performance Wednesday night as she led Louisiana Tech to an 82-72 win over Texas-San Antonio at the Convocation Center before 804 fans in the finals of the UTSA New Year’s Classic.

Dowdell scored a career-high 30 points and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds, hitting 13-of-17 field goals and 4-of-6 free throws while playing all 40 minutes.

“She was simply unstoppable,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon , who saw her team improve to 8-3. “She dominated inside for us. She worked hard all night to get position and then she finished. She’s our workhorse.

“Our guards did a nice job of delivery her the basketball at the right time and place. They were patient and it paid off.”

Dowdell earned all-tournament team honors along with teammate Whitney Jones, who struggled mightily for the first 31 minutes of the game before coming up big down the stretch.

Jones, who entered the game averaging over 12.0 points per game, was scoreless until she hit a three-point at the 8:39 mark of the game, upping the Tech advantage to 62-49. Jones then converted a pair of conventional three-point plays - one at the 3:46 mark and another at the 3:15 mark - to keep UTSA at arm’s length.

However, arguably her biggest contribution came with 1:10 to play and Tech clinging to a four-point lead when she found Dowdell inside, who delivered with a spin move baseline as the Lady Techsters upped the advantage to six.

Jones hit two free throws with 29 seconds to play to seal the victory for Tech.

“Whitney settled in finally,” Weatherspoon said.

“She came up with some clutch plays when we needed them. She didn’t allow herself to be affected late by her struggles early.”

Dowdell and Jones were joined in the big-night category by guards Tarkeisha Wysinger and Brietta Thomas off the bench. Wysinger scored 12 points in 18 minutes while Thomas added 10 points, a career-high nine rebounds and a career-high three blocks in 28 minutes.

The first half saw 10 lead changes and six ties as UTSA led 23-21 before Martina Holloway hit a threepointer with 8:10 to play igniting a 9-0 Lady Techster run.

Tech would never trail again.

Dowdell scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the opening 20 minutes of play to offset an impressive performance by Roadrunner guard Whitney York, who scored 19 of her 27 points in the first stanza.

Tech led 39-31 at the half.

UTSA quickly closed the lead to 39-35 in the second half before the Lady Techsters used a 15-5 run to grab its biggest lead of the game at 54-40 on a jumper by Wysinger with 11:40 to play in the game.

However, Ashleigh Franklin scored 26 of her teamhigh 29 points over the final 20 minutes to almost single handedly keep the Roadrunners in the game. Franklin scored 16 straight points for UTSA late in the game but it wasn’t enough as Tech won its fourth straight game.

For the game, Tech hit 44 percent (30-68) of its field goals while hitting 6-of-23 three-pointers and 16-of-24 free throws. UTSA hit only 34 percent (23-67) of its field goals, 1-of-13 three-pointers and 25-of-39 free throws.

Tech outrebounded UTSA 52-42.

Louisiana Tech 76, Southern Miss 68 Jan. 3, 2010 • Reed Green Coliseum

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Sophomore guard Jasmine Bendolph scored 14 points and recorded a career-high eight assists to lead Louisiana Tech a 76-68 come-frombehind win over Southern Mississippi Sunday afternoon at Reed Green Coliseum.

Bendolph, who had only played a total of 26 minutes due to health reasons in Tech’s last three games, played 38 minutes and hit a key basket with 36 seconds remaining to propel LA Tech (9-3) to its fifth straight win.

With the Lady Techsters clinging to a 69-68 lead, Bendolph drove the right side of the lane and hit a running one-hander off the glass with the shot clock running down to push the advantage to three. USM (4-9) would get no closer the rest of the way.

“I get emotional whenever I talk about (Jasmine),”

said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “People don’t know what this young lady goes through trying to get herself ready to play. She’s always saying, `Coach, I don’t want to let you down.’

“She was so big for us today. For her to play almost the entire game and do what she did, it just says so much about her heart.”

Tech found itself trailing by six at the officials timeout under the four minute mark of the game, before the Lady Techsters ended the game on a 15-1 run. Down 67-61, Adrienne Johnson hit a three-pointer from the top of the key with 3:09 to play to pull LA Tech to within 67-64.

Shanavia Dowdell, who led all scorers with 26 points, then hit an 18-footer on the next possession to make the score 67-66. After a defensive stop, Dowdell gave Tech only its third lead of the game with a conventional three-point play with 1:40 to play.

USM would only score one point in the final five minutes of the game, it coming on a Candace Rucker free throw with 1:03 to play.

“We were focused defensively down the stretch,” Weatherspoon said. “I challenged Adrienne Johnson (in the final media timeout). They were sagging so much on Shanavia that she had a wide open shot from the top of the key. I told her that I knew she could knock that shot down. She did and it was huge.”

USM jumped out to an early lead behind a strong effort on the boards as Tech found itself trailing 16-4 with 15:04 to play as the Eagles pulled down the first 10 rebounds in the game.

Tech trailed 29-18 with just under eight minutes to play in the half before it used a 16-7 run to close the half and trail by only two entering the halftime locker room.

A Bendolph jumper at the 17:21 mark of the second half tied the game at 38-38, the first tie since the opening tipoff. Johnson followed with a jumper to give the Lady Techsters their first lead of the contest at 40-38 before USM used a 9-2 run to regain the 47-42 advantage.

USM led 51-45 with 13:40 to play before Whitney Jones scored five points in a quick 7-0 run as Tech took only its second lead at 52-51. However, once again, the Lady Eagles responded using a 16-9 run over the next eight minutes to lead 67-61 setting up the final heroics.

Dowdell ended with 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 steals while Jones added 12 points. Kiara Young chipped in with nine points and five rebounds off the bench.

USM senior Pauline Love, the nation’s leading rebounder, finished with 20 points and 8 rebounds while Rucker added 15 points.

Tech shot 41 percent (29-70) from the field to USM’s 47 percent (27-58), but the Lady Techsters outrebounded the Lady Eagles 41-35, including 19 offensive boards.

Utah State 69, Louisiana Tech 66 Jan. 6, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Amber White scored 18 points to lead four players in double figures as Utah State shocked Louisiana Tech 69-66 Wednesday night in the Western Athletic Conference opener at the Thomas Assembly Center.

For the fifth time in five games, the Lady Techsters (9-4, 0-1 WAC) played with fire but for the first time they finally got burned as LA Tech led by as many as 10 points in the second half before the Aggies (9-5, 1-0 WAC) scrapped and clawed their way back for the win.

“What’s disappointing is for us to implement a game plan, and then not have the (girls) execute the game plan,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “They decided to try to win their own way. We went away from the game plan we put in place.

“Against a team like Utah State that is so deliberate and wants to play at a slower pace, you have to take advantage of your opportunities. We didn’t do that. You can’t commit 24 turnovers and expect to win any game, much less against a good team.”

Despite outrebounding Utah State 50-31, including

pulling down 19 offensive boards, Louisiana Tech lost for the first time in its last six games as the Aggies defeated the Lady Techsters for the first time in the series history.

After a first half that saw the two teams trade the lead five times before the Lady Techsters finally took a 32-27 advantage into intermission, Louisiana Tech came out in the second half and pushed its advantage out to 44-34 with 15:39 to play on a three-pointer by Whitney Jones.

The Aggies made some mini-runs cutting the advantage to as few as four points a couple of times as the lead remained in single digits for the rest of the game.

Tech led 61-57 on a Adrienne Johnson free throw with 2:23 to play before Utah State scored 10 straight points as TaHara Williams and Alice Coddington hit backto-back three-pointers to start the game-deciding run.

During that stretch, Tech committed two turnovers and missed its only shot attempt. By the time Martina Holloway hit a layup to snap the run with 0:18 to play, the game was basically out of reach.

Shanavia Dowdell led Tech with 17 points and 14 rebounds while Johnson added 16 points and Whitney Jones scored 14.

In addition to White’s big night, Coddington scored 15 points, Williams added 14 and LaCale Pringle-Buchanan scored 13 points.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Shanavia Dowdell scored 18 points and Adrienne Johnson added 16 to lead Louisiana Tech to a 92-48 win over San Jose State in Western Athletic Conference action Wednesday night at The Events Center.

Tech (10-4, 1-1 WAC) led from the opening tip and never looked back in defeating the Spartans for the 17th straight time in the series.

“This win started in practice,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “It didn’t start tonight when we stepped on the floor. These kids were focused all week long; they knew that they had to prepare to win.

“We shot the ball well in practice all week. We shot the ball well today in shoot-around. It’s all a mindset and this week we came with the right attitude and work ethic. I’m proud of how we rebounded after such a disappointing loss last week.”

Tiawana Pringle and Jasmine Bendolph hit backto-back three-pointers to open the game as Tech built and early 6-0 advantage. After San Jose State (4-12, 0-3 WAC) cut the Tech lead down to 7-6 on a jumper by Sayja Sumler at the 16:12 mark of the half, the Lady Techsters used a 15-0 run over the next six minutes to push the advantage to 22-6.

A Tarkeisha Wysinger layup at the 8:37 mark of the opening stanza gave LA Tech its first 20-point lead of the night at 30-10. With Tech leading 39-19, the Lady Techsters closed the half on a 17-3 run to push their lead to 56-22 at the half.

Whitney Jones closed the half with a running 25-foot three-pointer as the buzzer sounded as the Lady Techsters connected on 51 percent (22-43) of their shots in the opening half, including 7-of-13 from beyond the

arc.

All nine LA Tech players that saw the floor in the first half scored led by Dowdell’s 10 points and Bendolph’s eight. Pringle, Jones and Brietta Thomas all added seven first half points as the Lady Techsters scored the most points in a half this season.

Tech outscored the Spartans 23-0 off of turnovers in the first half as San Jose State committed 16 turnovers to only five by the Lady Techsters.

The second half wasn’t much better for the Spartans as Tech pushed the lead to 40 at 70-30 on a Jones threepointer at the 13:35 mark.

Johnson then hit a milestone a few minutes later as she hit two free throws at the 8:30 mark of the second stanza to become the 39th Lady Techster to ever score 1,000 points in a career. She also pulled down her 500th career rebound in the game.

With Tech leading 90-36 with just over five minutes to play, Weatherspoon pulled Dowdell, Johnson, Jones and Bendolph as San Jose State ended the game on a 12-2 run.

Louisiana Tech 78, New Mexico State 64 Jan. 16, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Shanavia Dowdell scored 23 points and 16 rebounds and Louisiana Tech hit 14-of-18 free throws after the final officials timeout as the Lady Techsters held

on to defeat New Mexico State 78-64 Saturday night at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Tech (11-4, 2-1 WAC), which led by as many as 21 points in the first half, found itself clinging to a 62-58 advantage with 3:48 to play before using a 16-6 run to end the game. Fourteen of the 16 points were scored at the charity stripe as the only bucket came on a Dowdell layup with two minutes remaining, giving Tech a 67-58 lead.

“We simply have to learn how to develop that killer instinct,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon.

“We have to learn to put teams away when we have a chance. New Mexico State is very, very good. There were a lot of things we could have done better at times, but that is a good win and I thought we played with energy for 40 minutes.”

After NMSU guard Jasmine Lowe drained a threepointer to give the Aggies an early 3-0 lead, Tech went on a 20-0 run over the next nine minutes to grab a 20-3 advantage. New Mexico State missed 15 straight field goal attempts before Crystal Boyd finally broke the run with a jumper at the 10:08 mark of the half.

“The first 10 minutes of the game was the best defense we’ve played this year,” Weatherspoon said.

“We played great on ball defense and we played great help defense. We forced them into some very very tough shots. “Not only did we do a good job defensively, but we rebounded well not allowing them second and third chances. It was a very impressive 10-minute stretch of basketball.”

Tech pushed the lead out to 28-7 on a Martina Holloway three-pointer at the 5:59 mark of the half as the Lady Techsters looked poised to put the game away.

However, the Aggies (12-6, 2-2 WAC) wouldn’t go quietly, outscoring the Lady Techsters 14-4 over the remainder of the half to enter the locker room only trailing 32-21.

Tech held the lead despite hitting only 34 percent (11-32) of its field goals as it held NMSU to only 22 percent (8-37) shooting while outrebounding the Aggies 34-22 over the opening 20 minutes of play.

NMSU pulled to within six points at 32-26 early in the second half before Tech gradually pushed the lead back out to 16 at 53-37 on a pair of Adrienne Johnson free throws with 11:42 to play.

However, Lowe almost single handedly kept her team close, scoring 19 of her 26 points in the second half, including nine during a run that saw the Aggies pull to within 62-58 with 3:48 to play.

In addition to Dowdell’s big night, Johnson added 18 points and eight rebounds while Whitney Jones chipped in with 13 points and five boards. It was Dowdell’s eighth double double of the season.

Madison Spence score 14 points while Boyd added 11 points despite hitting only 3-of-15 field goals and committing seven turnovers.

Tech outrebounded the Aggies 58-41.

Louisiana Tech 75, Hawaii 62 Jan. 21, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Whitney Jones scored 18 points and Shanavia Dowdell and Adrienne Johnson each recorded double doubles to lead Louisiana Tech to a 75-62 win over Hawaii Thursday night but the frustration was written all over the face of head coach Teresa Weatherspoon following the game.

For the second straight game and third time in four league games, Weatherspoon witnessed her team build a big lead only to allow an opponent to make a game of it down the stretch.

This time the second year head coach saw her team build a 23-point lead with four minutes to play in the first half before Hawaii fought all the way back to cut it to 10 with six minutes remaining. The Lady Techsters held on for the win though.

“It’s very frustrating to watch us allow teams back into games,” Weatherspoon said. “I’m not sure when we are going to learn to have that killer instinct; to put teams away when we have a chance. We haven’t done it recently and we didn’t do it tonight.”

Hawaii (8-11, 2-4 WAC) jumped out to a quick 9-4 advantage after Tech committed turnovers on its first three possessions of the game as Rebecca Dew’s jumper with 15:55 to play in the first half gave the Rainbow Wahine the five-point advantage.

However, a Dowdell layup 13 seconds later started a 29-3 run over the next 11-plus minutes as the Lady Techsters took a 35-12 advantage. During the outburst, Hawaii hit only 1-of-16 shots while committing nine turnovers.

The Rainbow Wahine used a mini-run of 14-9 to end the half to grab a little momentum heading into the locker room trailing 44-26.

“This game has so much to do with momentum,” Weatherspoon said. “You can’t let teams gain confidence when you have them down. We did that right before the half and starting the second half.”

Hawaii opened the second half, holding Tech without a point for almost four minutes as the Rainbow Wahine cut the advantage to 13 on six different occasions in the first 10 minutes of the final stanza.

Tech struggled shooting the basketball in the final 20 minutes, hitting only 9-of-27 shots while Hawaii hit 11 of its first 20 field goals.

“We just didn’t get the shots we needed,” Weatherspoon said. “We didn’t see through the defense. We weren’t patient at times. We got the win but we have a lot to work on in the next few days. We are going to play a very very good Fresno State team (Saturday night) and we can’t make the same mistakes we made tonight.”

Hawaii finally cut the Tech lead to 10 at 65-55 with 6:18 to play on a jumper by Dew before the Lady Techsters scored 10 straight points to put the game out of

reach.

Johnson scored 16 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, recorded four assists and four steals while Dowdell added 14 points and 16 rebounds.

Allie Patterson led Hawaii with 18 points while Dita Liepkalne added 15 points.

Fresno State 71, Louisiana Tech 61 Jan. 23, 2010 • Save Mart Center

FRESNO - Jaleesa Ross scored 31 points to lead Fresno State to a 71-61 win over Louisiana Tech before 3,449 fans at the Save Mart Center Saturday night in Western Athletic Conference basketball action.

With the win, Fresno State improved to 15-5 on the year, 5-0 in the WAC, while Louisiana Tech fell to 12-5, 3-2 in league play.

In a game that saw seven ties and seven lead

changes, Fresno State made the plays on both ends of the floor over the final 10 minutes to pull away for the victory. With the game tied at 55-55 on a Tarkeisha Wysinger layup with 10:46 to play, the Bulldogs outscored the Lady Techsters 16-6 down the stretch for the 10-point victory.

“Defend, defend, defend,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “We didn’t defend. We let them drive right by us and shoot layups too many times in the second half. I’m furious. I don’t know what else to say.

We have to take pride in our defense and tonight we didn’t do that.”

LA Tech hit only 2-of-12 field goals over the final 10 minutes while also committing six turnovers. Fresno State also benefited from a questionable call in a crucial point of the game that helped the Bulldogs pull away.

With the Bulldogs leading 61-57, Tech’s Adrienne Johnson drove through the lane and hit a running jumper while drawing contact with 4:57 to play as it appeared she would have an opportunity to complete a conventional three-point play and bring her team within one.

However, the officials called Johnson for an offensive foul, waving off the basket and then assessed Weatherspoon with a technical foul. Ross hit one free throw and then hit a layup on the ensuing possession to push the advantage out to 64-57.

Tech would not recover as Fresno State won for the sixth time in the last seven meetings between the two programs.

“We didn’t help ourselves,” Weatherspoon said.

“Thirteen turnovers in the second half is inexcusable, and we did it to ourselves. Too many times we were starting our offense too far away from the basket, and we just didn’t handle the basketball in the second half like we should have.”

Fresno State built as much as a nine-point lead in the first half at 37-28 on a jumper by Emma Andrews with 3:18 to play before the Lady Techsters ended the half on a 7-0 run to cut the deficit to 37-35 at the half.

Johnson scored 14 of her team-high 18 points in the first half while Wysinger added eight points in the opening stanza. Tech trailed by only two at the half despite the fact Shanavia Dowdell was 0-for-5 from the field with two points.

Tech came out in the second half scoring the first five points and taking a 40-37 lead on a three-point play

by Whitney Jones. Tech led five different times in the first five minutes of the second half but surrendered the tying or go-ahead basket to the Bulldogs on the ensuing possession each time.

In addition to Johnson’s 18 points, Dowdell added 11 points and 15 rebounds while Jones scored 11 and Wysinger added 10.

Hayley Munro scored 11 points for Fresno State.

Tech outrebounded Fresno State 43-34 but hit only 38 percent (23-of-61) of its field goals.

Nevada 69, Louisiana Tech 56 Jan. 26, 2010 • Lawlor Events Center

RENO - Shanavia Dowdell scored 31 points and grabbed 20 rebounds but it wasn’t enough as Louisiana Tech fell 69-56 to Nevada Tuesday night at the Lawlor Events Center.

Dowdell became the first Lady Techster since Belinda Jones in 1977-78 to score at least 30 points and grab at least 20 rebounds in a game and only the third in LA Tech history, joining Jones and LaVerne Henderson.

However, Dowdell’s monster performance couldn’t offset an opening 20 minutes of basketball that saw the Lady Techsters hit only 6-of-33 field goals and trail 36-17 at the half.

“It’s about effort,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “I don’t know what it’s going to take for our kids to figure out they have to play from the opening tip. It was a complete collapse on both ends of the floor in the first half. It’s unacceptable, and we are going to fix it. I can’t wait to get back on the floor for practice.”

louisiana tech LADY TECHSTERS

With the loss, Tech fell to 12-6 overall, 3-3 in Western Athletic Conference play while Nevada improved to 10-9, 5-1 in league action.

A Dowdell field goal at the 17:36 mark of the opening half was the only shot that the Lady Techsters hit in their first 13 attempts from the field.

In fact Dowdell was the only Lady Techster to hit a shot from the field in the first 12 minutes of the game until Tiawana Pringle buried a three-pointer at the 8:00 minute mark, cutting the Wolf Pack lead to 21-9.

However, Tech would get no closer than 10 points the rest of the half as it entered the locker room trailing 36-17. Dowdell scored eight points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the opening half of play.

Trailing by 19 at the half, LA Tech fought the entire second half to try to get back into the game. After Nevada opened a 20-point advantage at 39-19 with 18:08 to play, the Lady Techsters kept clawing away and eventually whittled the lead down to 44-31 on a jumper by Kiara Young at the 12:46 mark of the game.

Nevada pushed the advantage back out to 54-36 with 8;31 to play on a layup by Johnna Ward before Tech made on last run, closing the gap to 61-51 with 3:58 to play on a Dowdell layup.

Dowdell scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the second half alone.

“People don’t realize what Shanavia faces every night,” Weatherspoon said. “People gear their defense to stop her. She gets banged and pushed on but she still fights through it. Nevada couldn’t stop her tonight. She just didn’t have enough help tonight.”

For the game, Tech hit only 17-of-63 field goals for a season-low 27 percent. Dowdell connected on 12-of-26 while the rest of the Techsters hit 5-of-37.

Jasmine Bendolph and Adrienne Johnson were Tech’s next highest scorers with six points each.

Tahnee Robinson scored 25 points for the Wolf Pack while Shavon Moore added 11 points.

Louisiana Tech 74, Idaho 71 (OT) Jan. 30, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Jasmine Bendolph hit a game-tying three-point with eight seconds to play in regulation eventually sending Louisiana Tech to a 74-71 overtime win over Idaho Saturday night at the Thomas Assembly Center.

With Tech trailing 60-57 after two free throws by Shaena Kuehu with 17 seconds to play, Lady Techster

head coach Teresa Weatherspoon called a timeout to set up the final play and her sophomore point guard came through in the clutch.

Bendolph took a pass from Shanavia Dowdell and buried the game-tying trey from 22-feet sending her team into the extra period as Idaho’s Yinka Olorunnife missed a game-winning attempt at the buzzer.

“I give a lot of credit to Idaho,” Weatherspoon said.

“They played so well and really executed their game plan. We knew that they had been leaving (Bendolph) open at times during the game and we ran the play to perfection. Once Dowdell touched the ball at the elbow, they all collapsed around her and she found J.B for the shot.

“I was proud of the way our kids kept their composure down the stretch. We kept telling them if they would stay calm and focused, that we would give ourselves a chance and that’s exactly what happened.”

Tech (13-6, 4-3) built a nine-point first half lead at 27-18 on a layup by Dowdell with 4:52 to play, but then went scoreless the rest of the half as Idaho cut the advantage down to 27-23 at the half.

The Vandals (4-16, 2-5) were able to keep the game close due to their ability to keep the Lady Techsters off the offensive glass. Tech entered the game ranked No. 1 in the WAC in rebounding margin and offensive rebounds but Idaho - who was ranked last in rebounding margin held Tech to only one offensive rebound the entire game.

Idaho came out in the second half of the game and built a six point lead at 41-35 on a three-pointer by Kanisha Bello at the 13:44 mark before the Lady Techsters answered with a 15-4 run over the next seven minutes to go up 50-45.

However, Tech went cold as once again Idaho answered. Charlotte Otero’s two free throws with 28 seconds to play gave the Vandals a 58-54 advantage.

Senior guard Tiawana Pringle then gave Tech life, nailing a step-back three-pointer with 18 seconds to play while being fouled by Otero. Pringle stepped to the free throw line with Tech trailing 58-57 with a chance to tie the game but misfired on her free throw as Kuehu pulled down the defensive rebound and was fouled.

Kuehu made both, setting up Bendolph’s heroics.

In overtime, Tech finally found its range from the free throw line. After making only 5-of-15 in regulation, the Lady Techsters hit 10-of-13 free throws in the fiveminute extra period.

Although Idaho never led in overtime, the Vandals stayed close as the game wasn’t decided until Bello

missed a potential game-tying three-pointer with one second left as Dowdell pulled down the rebound as the buzzer sounded.

For the game, Tech hit 53 percent (28-53) of its field goals while Idaho converted on only 36 percent (25-70).

The Vandals became the first WAC team this year to outrebound Tech, holding a 41-37 advantage on the boards.

Dowdell led the Lady Techsters with 22 points and 11 rebounds, her 12th double double - her sixth in seven league games.

Tarkeisha Wysinger, starting in place of the injured Whitney Jones, scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds while playing all 45 minutes. Bendolph added 13 points and Adrienne Johnson chipped in with 10 points.

Olorunnife led Idaho with 17 points while Kuehu and Rachele Kloke each scored 16 and Bello added 13 points.

Louisiana Tech 75, Boise State 53 Feb. 3, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Adrienne Johnson scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Louisiana Tech to a 75-53 win over Boise State Wednesday night in Western Athletic Conference action at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Johnson, who had only scored a total of 16 points in her last two games, erupted for her fourth double double of the season, hitting 7-of-14 field goals and 9-of11 free throws in 31 minutes of action.

“Adrienne played under control tonight,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “She let the game come to her. She didn’t press. I thought she looked like her old self and she was so big for us.”

Johnson was joined in double figures by four teammates as Shanavia Dowdell, Tarkeisha Wysinger, Whitney Jones and Jasmine Bendolph each scored 10 points. Dowdell added 17 rebounds for her WAC-leading 13th double double of the year.

“Anytime we get that kind of production spread out we are going to be successful,” Weatherspoon said.

“I thought Jasmine Bendolph was as healthy as she has been this year and you are really starting to see her come into her own.”

While Tech’s two leading scorers were doing what they do best, Boise State’s normal offensive threats of Tasha Harris and Jessica Van Hoogen struggled, combing for only 13 points on 9-of-27 shooting.

“They are so tough to defend,” Weatherspoon said.

“We threw everyone at them. I thought we did a good job against them and that is a tribute to our players playing with great effort.”

After Boise State held its only lead of the night at 3-2, Tech built a 19-10 advantage as six different Lady Techsters scored in the opening nine minutes of the game. A Heather Pilcher shot made it 19-12 before Tech used a 19-9 run to close the half and enter the locker room leading 38-21.

“I told our players in the huddle (late in the half) that we needed to finish the half strong,” Weatherspoon said. “We needed to extend the lead and not allow Boise State to get any momentum. I thought we responded.”

Tech quickly pushed the lead to 43-23 in the second half before the Broncos closed the gap to 50-39 on a layup by Kenzi Poteet with almost 13 minutes to play.

However, Boise State would get no closer the rest of the game as Johnson scored 14 of her game-high 23 points in the second half.

Dowdell passed former Techster great Cheryl Ford on the all-time scoring list with a jumper at the 17:23 mark of the second half as the Calera, Alabama native now ranks 22nd with 1,382 points. Ironically, Johnson passed her coach - Teresa Weatherspoon - and moved into 34th place on the all-time scoring list in the game as well.

Poteet led the Broncos with 11 points while Janie Bos added 10 points.

Tech shot 41 percent (28-69) from the field for the game while Boise State hit only 34 percent (23-68) of its

www.latechsports.com field goals. The Broncos also hit only 4-of-16 free throws and 3-of-22 three-pointers.

The Lady Techsters outrebounded Boise State 5543.

Louisiana Tech 74, Utah State 54 Feb. 6, 2010 • Dee Glen Smith Spectrum

LOGAN - For the second straight game, Louisiana Tech played a complete basketball game and came away with an impressive 74-54 win over Utah State Saturday afternoon at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Western Athletic Conference action.

Tech (15-6, 6-3 WAC) avenged a 69-66 loss against Utah State on Jan. 6 as the Lady Techsters dominated from the opening tip, winning for the fifth time in five trips to Logan.

“Our kids came out and played with great effort,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “We attacked offensively; we attacked defensively. We were determined to perform better this time than the last time we played them. It showed.”

Tech scored the first seven points of the game as a Whitney Jones trifecta at the 16:07 mark gave the Lady Techsters a 7-0 lead before Utah State scored seven straight to tie the game with 14:23 to play on a driving layup by LaCale Pringle-Buchanan.

Just over one minute later Amber White gave the Aggies their only lead of the game at 11-9 on a layup as LA Tech then used a 15-0 run over the next six minutes to grab a commanding 24-11 advantage. White broke the drought for the Aggies (11-11, 3-6) at the 5:23 mark of the half on a jumper.

However, Tech extended the lead out to as many as 18 in the opening stanza before entering the halftime locker room leading 38-22.

Despite shooting only 34 percent (12-35) in the first half, the Lady Techsters led thanks to a dominating performance on the boards (31-15) and a dominating defensive effort that saw LA Tech hold Utah State to only 8-of-28 shooting.

Adrienne Johnson led Tech with 12 points in the first half while Shanavia Dowdell and Jones each added eight points.

Utah State tried to rally early in the second half as Lydia Whitehead scored two straight baskets to cut the Tech advantage to 38-26 but a Tiawana Pringle threepointer pushed it back out to 15. Tech led 48-32 before using a 6-0 run to build its biggest lead of the game to that point at 54-32 with 11:19 to play.

The Aggies would get no closer than 18 points the rest of the way.

Johnson led Tech with 16 points and nine rebounds while Jones added 14 points and Dowdell and Brietta Thomas each scored 12 points. Dowdell added 13 rebounds to post her 14th double double of the season - the eighth in nine WAC games.

Tarkeisha Wysinger added four points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals while Martina Holloway recorded a team-high five assists.

“We have to get that kind of production across the board to be successful,” Weatherspoon said. “This was a team effort. These young ladies remembered how they played a month ago.”

Pringle-Buchanan led Utah State with 17 points while white added 12 points.

Tech outrebounded Utah State 56-36 and held the Aggies to only 29 percent (19-of-65) shooting.

Louisiana Tech 81, San Jose State 66 Feb. 14, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Shanavia Dowdell scored 25 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Adrienne Johnson added 19 points to lead Louisiana Tech to an 81-66 win over San Jose State Sunday afternoon in Western Athletic Conference action at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Tech (16-6, 7-3 WAC) won its fourth straight contest and improved its all-time record against the Spartans to 18-0 while San Jose State (5-19, 1-10 WAC) lost its sixth straight despite a valiant effort.

“The one thing I can say about that basketball team is they play extremely hard,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “They didn’t let anything keep them from playing hard. Travel issues, score ... nothing stopped them. You have to give them a lot of credit.

“This game will do us a lot of good. There will be a lot of good film for us to show the girls.”

The performances by Dowdell and Johnson offset an impressive showing from San Jose State guards Chasity Shavers and Sayja Sumler. Shavers scored 27 points while Sumler added 17 points in the loss.

“Shavers took it personally,” said Weatherspoon, referring to Tech holding the guard to only two points in the first meeting of the year. “She had a lot of family here and she wanted to redeem herself. You have to give her credit. We didn’t play as well defensively as we should but they played with great effort.”

After San Jose State took an early 2-0 lead on a bucket by Shavers off the opening tip, Tech responded with six straight points including back to back field goals

by Dowdell. The two teams stayed close as Tech led only 22-18 with 8:33 to play before using a 7-0 run to grab a 29-18 advantage on a shot by Tarkeisha Wysinger.

The Lady Techsters led 49-31 at the half thanks to 16 points by Johnson, who hit 8-of-8 free throws in the opening stanza. Dowdell added 12 points while Wysinger scored nine.

Over the final 20 minutes of play, Tech was unable to completely put San Jose State away while the Spartans were never able to really threaten the Lady Techster lead.

Tech’s biggest lead came at 72-50 with 6:21 to play on a layup by Johnson before the Spartans scored 10 straight points to close the deficit to 72-60. Sumler and Shavers each scored four points during the mini-run.

Dowdell recorded her 15th double double of the year and the 39th of her career, moving into sixth place in the Tech record books trailing only Pam Kelly, Venus Lacy, Elinor Griffin, Nora Lewis and Janice Lawrence.

In addition to Dowdell and Johnson’s double digit performances, Wysinger added 11 points while Tiawana Pringle scored nine points.

Tech shot 45 percent (29-65) from the field while hitting 78 percent (21-27) of its free throws and outrebounded San Jose State 41-32.

The Spartans hit 50 percent (26-52) of their field goals, only the second time all season an opponent shot 50 percent or better against the Lady Techsters.

Louisiana Tech 62, New Mexico State 55 Feb. 17, 2010 • Pan American Center

LAS CRUCES - Adrienne Johnson and Shanavia Dowdell both recorded double doubles and the Louisiana Tech bench came up big as the Lady Techsters defeated New Mexico State 62-55 Wednesday night in Western Athletic Conference action at the Pan American Center.

Johnson scored a game-high 18 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Dowdell added 14 points and grabbed 15 rebounds despite battling illness all night long.

With Dowdell under the weather, head coach Teresa Weatherspoon turned to her bench and sophomore Kiara Young responded, scoring six points and grabbing seven rebounds in 14 minutes of action.

“I thought our bench was the key tonight,” Weatherspoon said. “Kiara is really starting to understand her strengths and utilize them. She gave us some big minutes tonight. She played with confidence. She shot the ball with confidence.

“Our entire bench came up big. Tarkeisha (Wysinger) and Brietta (Thomas) also gave us great energy off the bench.”

New Mexcico State (16-10, 6-6 WAC) took an early 6-1 lead behind the offensive onslaught of sophomore forward Tabytha Wampler, who scored the first eight points of the game for the Aggies and ended with a season-high 18 points.

However, Johnson scored eight points during a 12-0 Lady Techster run as LA Tech held New Mexico State without a point for over eight minutes. By the time Wampler snapped the scoring drought with a bucket at the 9:06 mark, Tech led 13-8.

The Lady Techsters would hold a seven-point lead on four different occasions in the opening stanza, including a 23-16 advantage with less than a minute to play.

New Mexico State closed the half by scoring five straight points, including a three-pointer by Jasmine Lowe at the buzzer.

Tech led only 23-21 at the half despite holding the Aggies to only 24 percent (9-37) shooting, including only 1-of-11 from beyond the arc.

“We didn’t execute very well offensively in the first half,” Weatherspoon said. “We let them back into the game because of that. We played well defensively at times but we have to learn to close out the end of the half and of the games. You can’t let shooters get open looks and we did a couple of times and it cost us.”

NMSU tied the game early in the second half before LA Tech started pulling away, building as much as a 13-point lead at 52-39 on a three-pointer by Whitney Jones at the 6:45 mark of the game. Tech’s lead remained in double figures with just over two minutes to play before Wampler and Kaitlyn Soto hit back-to-back threepointers to cut the lead to 56-52.

After a LA Tech turnover, NMSU had an opportunity to cut even further into the lead but Johnson stepped in

Defensively, Tech held NMSU’s top four scorers who were all averaging double figures - to a total of 31 points on only 11-of-50 shooting as only Madison Spence scored in double figures with 12 points.

For the game, Tech hit 36 percent (24-66) of its field goals, 2-of-10 three-pointers and only 12-of-22 free throws. NMSU hit only 27 percent (20-74) of its field goals and 5-of-24 three-pointers.

HONOLULU - For the second straight game, Shanavia Dowdell and Adrienne Johnson recorded double doubles to lead Louisiana Tech to a 79-71 win over Hawaii Saturday night at the Stan Sheriff Center in Western Athletic Conference action.

The Lady Techsters have won six straight games, matching their longest winning streak of the season as they position themselves for the upcoming WAC Tournament March 10-14 in Reno.

On Saturday night, it was Dowdell and Johnson who were in the right position most of the night as the duo combined to score 46 points, grab 23 rebounds, record four assists, four steals and three blocks. Dowdell notched her 17th double double of the season - and 10th straight - with 26 points and 12 rebounds while Johnson recorded her fifth with 20 points and 11 boards.

It didn’t come easy as Hawaii used 6-foot-4-inch Rebecca Dew and 6-foot-3-inch Katie Wilson to pound on Dowdell all night; however, the reigning WAC Player of the Year showed she was up to the challenge.

Dowdell scored 18 of her game-high total in the final 20 minutes of play including eight points down the stretch after Hawaii cut what had been an 18-point lead down to four at 62-58 with 5:58 to play.

“I didn’t think Shanavia was as aggressive as she needed to be in the first half,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “However, when you have a player like her and Adrienne, you have to go to them. We are an inside-out team. Some people call that old school basketball but that’s what we do.

“Both of them can hurt you inside and they can both step out and hurt you outside. Hawaii tried to get physical with them tonight and they showed that they can handle that type of challenge.”

After Hawaii jumped out to a 16-11 lead on a Dita Liepkalne bucket at the 14:36 mark, Tech responded with a 22-5 run over the next 10 minutes of play to grab a 33-21 advantage. The Lady Techsters went into the halftime locker room leading 43-31 thanks to 12 first half points

by Johnson and a combined 14 points off the bench from Tarkeisha Wysinger, Brietta Thomas and Martina Holloway.

LA Tech quickly built the lead up to 52-34 as Dowdell scored the first six points of the second half while Whitney Jones buried a three-pointer at the 16:28 mark for the biggest lead of the game.

Hawaii (9-18, 3-11) wouldn’t surrender.

Behind the play of guard Keisha Kanekoa and reserves Julita Bungaite and Wilson, the Rainbow Wahine fought back to eventually cut the Tech lead down to four before the Lady Techsters pulled out the win.

For the game, Tech hit 46 percent (30-66) of its field goals and 15-of-19 free throws while Hawaii shot 42 percent (30-70) from the field.

Hawaii became only the second league team to outrebound Tech all season as the Rainbow Wahine led 41-38, including 17 offensive boards.

Kanekoa led Hawaii with 16 points while Bungaite added 13 points and Wilson 12.

Fresno State 81, Louisiana Tech 78 (OT) Feb. 24, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Louisiana Tech junior Tarkeisha Wysinger scored a career-high 25 points but it wasn’t enough as Fresno State defeated the Lady Techsters 8178 in overtime before 1,893 fans Wednesday night at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Tech led 68-66 on a pair of Adrienne Johnson free throws with 22 seconds to play before Fresno State guard Jaleesa Ross drove down the right side of the lane and collided with Johnson with only 4 seconds to play.

Johnson was whistled for a blocking foul, her fifth of the game, and Ross calmly sank two free throws to send the contest into overtime.

Early on in the extra period sophomore guard Jasmine Bendolph gave the Lady Techsters a 75-69 lead scoring seven straight points but once again Fresno State wouldn’t go away quietly. After a missed threepointer on Tech’s next possession, Bulldog guard Emma Andrews drove down the lane and scored while being fouled.

She converted the conventional three-point play with 2:28 to play, igniting a game-closing 12-3 run that sent the Bulldogs to 14-0 in Western Athletic Conference play.

“I hurt more for my kids right now than anything,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “They played their hearts out there tonight. It’s tough to lose a game like this.”

Tech led 77-76 with under a minute to play in the extra period when Wysinger appeared to steal the ball at the top of the key from Andrews. However, as she turned to start the fast break up the court, a whistle was blown sending Andrews to the free throw line where she hit two more shots as Fresno State took a 78-77 advantage.

The Bulldogs (23-5, 14-0) made only 1-of-5 field goals in overtime but hit 11-of-14 free throws including 11 straight at one point while the Lady Techsters hit only 4-of-8 from the charity stripe in the extra session.

“You saw some fatigue affect us in overtime,” Weatherspoon said. “There were a couple of times we

didn’t get back defensively like we should have and it cost us.”

LA Tech (18-7, 9-4 WAC) led 35-30 at the half despite shooting only 12-of-32 from the field in the first half thanks in large part to the effort of Wysinger off the bench. Wysinger, who surpassed her previous careerhigh of 24 points set as a freshman against Sam Houston State, hit 7-of-11 field goals, including a pair of threepointers, while hitting 9-of-15 free throws.

She scored 12 of her points in the opening 20 minutes to lead all scorers.

“I told Daron (Park) today that I thought TK would have a good game tonight,” Weatherspoon said. “I felt it.

She has been putting in some extra work and it paid off tonight. She is a good shooter and tonight she stepped up and shot with confidence.”

In a game that saw 10 ties and 14 lead changes, Fresno State found itself leading by two late in regulation before Whitney Jones driving layup with 49 seconds to play tied the game at 66-66. After a missed layup by Fresno State forward Joh-Teena Filipe, Johnson pulled down the rebound and was fouled sending her to the free throw line to give Tech the lead with only 22 seconds to play.

In addition to Wysinger’s big night, Shanavia Dowdell recorded her 18th double double of the year with 17 points and a career-high tying 20 rebounds while Bendolph added 15 points.

LaShay Fears led Fresno State with 22 points while Andrews added 16 and Munro and Filipe each scored 11.

Louisiana Tech 69, Nevada 56 Feb. 27, 2010 • Thomas Assembly Center

RUSTON - Senior Shanavia Dowdell scored 24 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and recorded three blocks to power Louisiana Tech to a 69-56 win over Nevada before 2,034 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Saturday afternoon.

With the victory, Tech (19-7, 10-4) took sole possession of second place in the Western Athletic Conference standings while Nevada (15-13, 9-5) fell to third place.

Both teams still have two regular season games remaining as the Lady Techsters travel to Idaho and Boise State while Nevada hosts New Mexico State and Idaho.

Playing in the final home game of their careers, Dowdell and teammate Tiawana Pringle were instrumental in the victory.

Dowdell recorded her 19th double double of the year (tied for the most in the nation), including her 12th straight, and the 43rd of her career, tying former Kodak All-American Janice Lawrence for fifth place in the LA Tech record books.

After Nevada jumped out to an early 6-3 lead on a jumper by Amanda Johnson at the 17:38 mark of the half, senior Tiawana Pringle ignited a 14-0 LA Tech run scoring eight straight points as the Lady Techsters led 17-6 with 12 minutes to play.

“Shanavia and Tiawana have meant so much to this university and this program during their four years here,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “Not only on the court but off. They’ve both been such great role models for youngsters and have always handled their business in the classroom. They are two special people to me.”

Nevada then used a run to close the gap to 22-17 on a free throw by Marissa Hammond at the 7:43 mark before Brietta Thomas knocked down a pair of threepointers in a 9-0 Lady Techster run. Tech eventually pushed the advantage up to 16 at 36-20 with 2:45 to play in the half on a layup by Adrienne Johnson before the Wolf Pack closed the gap to 39-29 at the half.

“We had a couple of possessions down the stretch in the first half where we didn’t execute and Nevada took advantage of it,” Weatherspoon said. “It allowed them to have the momentum going into the half and our kids have to learn to value every possession.”

The second half was a back and forth affair as Nevada cut the Tech lead to 42-37 on a Tahnee Robinson free throw with 16:04 to play before Tech used a 12-2 run to push the advantage out to 54-39 midway through the stanza.

After the Wolf Pack made one last run closing the lead to 54-46 on a Kayla Williams layup at the 9:29 mark, Tech pushed the lead back out and eventually led by as many as 19 points at 67-48 on a Martina Holloway bucket with 5:36 to play.

Johnson added nine points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks while Pringle and Thomas added eight points.

Robinson led Nevada with 17 points, 14 coming in the first half. Nicole Williams added 11 points.

Louisiana Tech 63, Idaho 56 March 3, 2010 • Cowan Spectrum

MOSCOW, Idaho - Adrienne Johnson scored 23 points to lead Louisiana Tech to a 63-56 win over Idaho Wednesday night at the Cowan Spectrum in Western Athletic Conference women’s basketball action.

Johnson scored 16 of her game-high 23 points in the first half to help the Lady Techsters (20-7, 11-4) build a 32-22 halftime lead despite the fact that Shanavia Dowdell played only six minutes due to foul trouble.

Dowdell picked up her second personal foul at the 13:43 mark of the half with LA Tech trailing 13-8 but a Johnson layup one minute later triggered a 16-2 run that gave the Lady Techsters a 24-15 advantage. Johnson scored 10 of the 16 points during the run.

Head coach Teresa Weatherspoon also turned to her bench as Tarkeisha Wysinger, Brietta Thomas, Martina Holloway and Kiara Young played key minutes during the half and contributed on both ends of the floor.

After Idaho cut the Tech lead to 26-22 with just over four minutes to play in the half, Weatherspoon inserted the trio of reserve guards back into the game and they turned up the defensive pressure as Tech held Idaho without a point in claiming the 10-point halftime lead.

Dowdell, who entered the game with 12 straight double doubles, was in jeopardy of having that streak broken as she only had six points and one rebound at the half. However, the reigning WAC Player of the Year came up big in the second half as she ended the night with 11 points and 11 boards for her 20th double double of the season.

Tech’s starting three guards of Tiawana Pringle, Jasmine Bendolph and Whitney Jones - who combined for only two points in the opening half - scored 15 second half points as the Lady Techsters built as 22-point lead at 56-34 with only 7:42 to play in the game.

However, the Vandals (9-19, 7-8) wouldn’t go away quietly as Bianca Cheever’s layup ignited a 20-5 run over the next six minutes as Idaho cut the lead to 61-54 with just under two minutes to play. Charlotte Otero, who led Idaho with 18 points, scored seven points while Cheever added eight during the run which saw Tech hit an offensive cold spell.

Idaho had an opportunity to cut into the sevenpoint deficit with just over a minute to play but the Vandals turned the basketball over and then inexplicably decided not to foul down the stretch as Tech posted the 63-56 victory.

Tech shot 48 percent (29-61) from the field while holding the Vandals to only 35 percent (23-66), including only 7-of-31 from beyond the arc.

Boise State 74, Louisiana Tech 65 March 6, 2010 • Taco Bell Arena

BOISE, Idaho - Shanavia Dowdell became the Western Athletic Conference’s all-time leading rebounder Saturday but it wasn’t enough as Boise State defeated Louisiana Tech 74-65 at Taco Bell Arena.

Dowdell pulled down nine rebounds to go along with 14 points and her final rebound of the game - the 974th of her career - tied her with former Fresno State forward Omelogo Udeze for first place in the league record books.

The Calera, Alabama natives final rebound came in the waning seconds of the game as the final seconds ticked off the clock and LA Tech fell for only the second time in the last 10 games.

“I hate to say it but Boise State played like they wanted it more,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “It was senior day and they were playing for their seeding in the league tournament.

“Those aren’t excuses. We didn’t get the job done.

This type of game we need to learn from and get ready to play in the tournament next week.”

A Tiawana Pringle three-pointer at the 18:17 mark of the first half gave Louisiana Tech a 5-4 lead - its only one of the game.

Boise State then used a 23-7 run over the next eight minutes to lead 27-12 as the Broncos hit on 8 of their first 11 shots from the field. Freshman forward Lauren Lenhardt, who entered the game averaging only 4.0 points per game, scored 10 points in the first 12 minutes of the game as the Boise State post players accounted for 23 of the team’s first 29 points.

“It was really disappointing how we allowed them to get so many easy looks in the paint,” Weatherspoon said. “That was one of our points of emphasis coming into the game ... keep them out of the paint. We simply didn’t do that today.”

Tech (20-8, 11-5 WAC) turned up the defensive intensity over the final 10 minutes of the first half holding the Broncos to only five points as the Lady Techsters closed the halftime deficit to 32-26.

An Adrienne Johnson driving layup to open the second half cut the Boise State lead to 32-28; however, Tech would miss eight of its next 10 shot attempts as the Broncos pushed the advantage back out to 45-33 with 14:10 to play.

The lead remained double digits until midway through the second half when Tech used an 8-0 run as Jasmine Bendolph’s jumper at the 8:27 mark closed the gap to 54-49. After an empty Broncos possession, Tech had an opportunity to shave even more points off the lead but Bendolph’s open three-pointer fell short and Johnson’s follow was off the mark as Boise State once again pushed the lead out to 58-49.

Late in the game, Whitney Jones hit back-to-back

three-pointers to cut the lead to 67-63 with 49 seconds to play but Boise State hit its free throws down the stretch to pull away for the win.

For the game, Tech shot 34 percent (24-70) from the field and hit only 50 percent (13-26) of its free throws while the Broncos shot 39 percent (26-66) from the field and 73 percent (19-26) from the charity stripe.

And for only the third time in WAC play, Tech was outrebounded as Boise State owned the glass by a 54-40 margin.

“We gave up 17 offensive rebounds and that is unacceptable,” Weatherspoon said.

Dowdell and Bendolph led Tech with 14 points each while Jones added 11 points and Johnson scored 10.

Tasha Harris led Boise State with 18 points, 14 coming at the free throw line, while Lenhardt and Rebecca Kepilino each scored 13 points.

Louisiana Tech 82, Utah State 65 March 10, 2010 • Lawlor Events Center

RENO, Nevada - Jasmine Bendolph scored a career-high 24 points and Adrienne Johnson added 22 points to lead Louisiana Tech to an 82-65 win over Utah State in the first round of the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Tournament at the Lawlor Events Center Wednesday night.

The duo’s performances were huge considering

louisiana tech LADY TECHSTERS two-time WAC Player of the Year Shanavia Dowdell was saddled with foul trouble in the first half and ended the night with a season-low two points and no made field goals.

“I had to do a little bit more tonight (with Shanavia in foul trouble) and step it up,” Bendolph said. “As a team we played together and shared the basketball.”

Bendolph hit 8-of-13 field goals, including a pair of three-pointers, and 6-of-6 free throws to best her previous career-high of 18 points which came at the same venue in last year’s semifinal loss to Nevada in the WAC Tournament.

“It’s always big when Jasmine plays the way she did tonight,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “Both JB and Adrienne are incredible athletes and are capable of taking games over at any time.”

After Dowdell picked up her second personal foul less than four minutes into the game, Johnson and Bendolph combined to score 25 points in the first half to propel the Lady Techsters (21-8) out to a 41-28 halftime advantage.

Tech shot 50 percent (17-34) from the field in the opening half while holding Utah State to only 33 percent (11-33).

The Lady Techsters opened the second half by pushing their lead out to 50-34 on a pair of Bendolph free throws with 15:39 to play before Utah State (13-17) fought back, using a 12-0 run over the next four minutes to cut the deficit to 50-46.

“I loved our effort in the second half and the character that we showed,” said Utah State head coach Raegan Pebley. “We split with Louisiana Tech in the regular season and believed we could beat them here on a neutral floor. We didn’t, and it’s disappointing.”

Junior guard Brietta Thomas ended the run by nailing a three-pointer - one of three she hit in the game - with 11:30 to play as Tech quickly pushed the advantage back out to 59-48. Another Thomas trifecta at the 2:49 mark of the half gave Tech an insurmountable 69-54 advantage.

Thomas ended the night with 11 points while Tarkeisha Wysinger added 11 points and Kiara Young seven as the Lady Techster bench scored 32 points in the contest.

“It was a very, very tough game and our team never gave up,” Weatherspoon said.

Louisiana Tech 80, Nevada 77 March 12, 2010 • Lawlor Events Center

RENO, Nevada - Adrienne Johnson scored 29 points and Shanavia Dowdell added 24 points to lead Louisiana Tech to an 80-77 win over Nevada in the semifinals of the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Tournament Friday afternoon at Lawlor Events Center.

With the victory, Tech advances to Saturday’s championship game against top-seed Fresno State, which defeated Idaho 80-66 in the first semifinal game of the day.

Although a team effort in the win, Tech road the backs of their first team all-WAC duo as both Johnson and Dowdell each scored 17 points after intermission to lead the Lady Techsters (22-8) to a come-from-behind win in a game that saw 15 lead changes and 11 ties.

“It was a hard fought battle between two teams who didn’t want to lose,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “Nevada is very well coached. I have great respect for Jane Albright. We had to fight hard down the stretch to win.”

Johnson, who hit 11-of-12 field goals in the game, gave LA Tech the lead on a 17-foot jumper with 2:23 to play as Tech would not relinquish the lead down the stretch.

“We knew we didn’t want to go home like last year,” Johnson said. “We knew it was going to be a fight, and we had to come out and play hard from the opening tip. We did.”

Tech survived a potential game-tying three-point attempt by Nevada guard Johnna Ward after the Wolf Pack stole the inbounds pass with less than six seconds remaining and trailing by three. However, Ward’s open look from 22 feet away missed left and the buzzer sounded as Tech avenged a heart-breaking 91-88 overtime loss to Nevada in last year’s WAC Tournament semifinal game.

“This was two great teams,” said Nevada head coach Jane Albright. “You can’t play with any more heart and soul than we did tonight. This was just one of those nights. We played one of the best games we’ve played all year.”

Nevada (17-15) took a 34-31 halftime lead thanks to a superb effort on the glass as the Wolf Pack outrebounded Tech 23-13 in the first half. Wolf Pack forward Kayla Williams recorded a double double in the opening 20 minutes scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds before intermission. Williams ended with 15 points and 11 boards.

The second half was a back and forth affair as neither team had more than a four-point lead at any time as the lead changed hands nine times.

Dowdell, who scored only seven points in the first half, came to life early in the second half and dominated inside scoring at will at times while also getting Nevada’s frontline of Williams and Shavon Moore into foul trouble.

Moore gave Nevada its last lead of the night with a jumper at the 2:45 mark of the game before Tech answered right back with Johnson’s jumper, giving the Lady Techsters a 74-73 advantage. After a turnover by Amanda Johnson, Tech junior guard Whitney Jones hit two free throw with 1:18 to play to push the lead to 76-73.

Ward then answered with an 18-foot jumper 10 seconds later to cut the Tech lead down to 76-75.

However, Johnson had the answer one more time driving down the right side of the lane to score with 43 seconds to play as Tech once again led by three.

After a missed jumper by Nevada, Jasmine Bendolph hit two free throws with 25 seconds left to push the lead out to 80-75. Moore scored with 6.3 seconds to play

to bring the score within 80-77. After a Nevada timeout, Moore stole away the inbounds pass and hit Ward for the potential game-tying three which was off the mark as the buzzer sounded.

Tech, which played without senior guard Tiawana Pringle who was injured in Wednesday’s win over Utah State, saw all five of its starters play the final 20 minutes of the game in the win. The Lady Techsters shot 53 percent from the field, including an eye-popping 68 percent (19-28) in the final half.

Louisiana Tech 68, Fresno State 66 March 13, 2010 • Lawlor Events Center

RENO - Sophomore guard Jasmine Bendolph drained an 18-foot jumper with 34 seconds to play to give Louisiana Tech the lead and the Lady Techsters got the defensive stops they needed down the stretch to defeat Fresno State 68-66 in the championship game of the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Tournament Saturday afternoon at Lawlor Events Center.

With Tech trailing 66-65 and the shot clock running down, Bendolph calmly sank the jumper from the top of the key as the Lady Techsters snapped Fresno State’s 19-game winning streak and earned the automatic berth into the 2010 NCAA Tournament - Tech’s first since 2006.

“Our kids played their hearts out today,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “We played a tough Nevada team (Friday) and a tough Fresno State team who is very aggressive, but our team doesn’t give up. They’re resilient and they fought hard. Today we wanted it more.”

The victory didn’t come easy as the final 30 seconds of regulation was filled with opportunities for both teams. After Tech took the one-point lead on Bendolph’s jumper, Fresno State forward Joh-Teena Filipe missed a three-pointer with 14 seconds to play and Whitney Jones pulled won the defensive rebound and was fouled.

Jones then missed the front end of a one-and-one and Fresno State pulled the defensive rebound down but Tech guard Tarkeisha Wysinger picked the pocket of Bulldog guard Jaleesa Ross, knocking the loose basket-

www.latechsports.com ball to Shanavia Dowdell.

Dowdell, who was named the WAC Tournament MVP scoring 20 points and grabbing 19 rebounds in the win, stepped to the free throw line with 6.3 seconds to play and calmly sank the first free throw to push the advantage to 68-66.

However, Dowdell missed the second free throw and Fresno State had one last opportunity. Bulldog guard LeShay Fears took an outlet pass around midcourt and drove down the right side of the lane but misfired on a last second shot sending the Tech bench into a wild celebration on the floor.

“Congratulations to Louisiana Tech,” said Fresno State coach Adrian Wiggins. “It was a good tournament win for them. It was a hard-fought game. We just came up short in some areas.”

For the second straight day, Tech (23-8) played a complete basketball game.

From the opening tip, the Lady Techsters executed on both ends of the floor as Tech shot 47 percent (28-60) from the field while holding Fresno State (27-6) to only 34 percent (24-71) shooting. Tech also kept the three-point shooting of Fresno State in check as the Bulldogs hit only 8-of-28 for 29 percent.

Behind Dowdell’s rebounding dominance, Tech won the war of the boards 49-35 in a very physical but well-played basketball game.

“I was getting beat up down there,” Dowdell said.

“I had a bloody nose, but I just had to play hard and not give up. I was tired at the end, but as Coach (Weatherspoon) said, ‘This is our season.’ We all wanted to go to the Big Dance so we just pushed through it.”

In a game that saw six ties and seven lead changes, Tech built a 10-point first half lead at 33-23 as Dowdell knocked down a three-pointer at the 4:00 minute mark of the opening half. But the Bulldogs would answer, using a 14-3 run to close the half as Fresno State held a 37-36 lead heading into the halftime locker room.

Tech came out of the half on fire as Jones hit backto-back three-pointers in the first two minutes of the second half to spark a 10-0 Lady Techster run that gave them a 46-37 advantage.

The two teams continued to exchange punches like a heavyweight fight as Fresno State fought back to take the lead at 59-58 on a three-point play by Hayley Munro with 8:40 to play.

After Ross gave the Bulldogs a 61-58 lead on a basket on their next possession, Tech guard Brietta Thomas drained a three-pointer with 7:40 left to tie the game at 61-61. Neither team would lead by more than two points the rest of the game.

“It was a great game,” Wiggins said. “They’re physical and teams are physical in the NCAA Tournament. It was a reminder of how physical the game can be. We got outrebounded by 14 and that’s not acceptable.”

In addition to Dowdell’s big night, Jones added 13 points, six rebounds and five assists while Adrienne Johnson scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

Wysinger also added 10 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Thomas finished with nine points.

With the victory, Tech clinched its 16th conference tournament title in program history - its fifth WAC Tournament title in nine years - and will play in its 26th NCAA Tournament.

eton in its first round contest.

“First, congratulations to Florida State who is a very good basketball team,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “I am so proud of how my young ladies played. They played with every ounce of energy, effort and heart that we asked of them all season long.

No one would ever imagine the battles that they have fought behind closed doors. Yet and still, they went between the four lines and played basketball.

“You cannot ask for more than that with these kids.

I am super proud of the way we performed and the way we represented Louisiana Tech and the Lady Techster program, being back in the NCAA tournament, a place where we belong.”

Dowdell, the two-time WAC Player of the Year, showed early and often that she belonged as she scored 22 of her game-high 28 points in the first half to lead LA Tech to a nine-point lead before foul trouble did what the Seminoles were unable to do - slow down Dowdell.

“Dowdell is a handful,” said Florida State head coach Sue Semrau. “She is going to be a great player in the pros, and we just take our hats off to Louisiana Tech.

They came out and played an exceptional basketball game.”

With Tech leading 34-27, Dowdell - who had hit 10of-11 field goals - was whistled for her third foul with 4:31 to play on an offensive foul call and sat the remainder of the half as Florida State took advantage tying the game at 40-40.

“Of course whenever a player fouls they don’t think it was a foul, so I really don’t think it was a foul,” Dowdell said. “I think it was they had the momentum going and it just played into their hands. I don’t think it was a foul. I just knew I had to come back in the second half and try to stay out of foul trouble.”

Tech shot 50 percent (16-32) from the field in the opening half while outrebounding Florida State 23-15, including 12 offensive rebounds.

Florida State, which tried to guard LA Tech man-toman in the first half, played entirely zone over the final 20 minutes of basketball and the change proved successful.

With Dowdell sandwiched between two and three Seminoles, LA Tech hit only 5-of-30 field goals in the second half for 17 percent.

However, despite the poor shooting, Tech was in the game until the end.

Adrienne Johnson fouled out of the game with 5:51 to play and Tech trailing 61-53 and eventually the Seminoles pushed the advantage to 65-55 with 4:06 to play.

However, Tech scored six straight points as Jasmine Bendolph hit a three-pointer with 1:59 to play to cut the FSU advantage to 65-61.

“Our kids are fearless,” Weatherspoon said. “It doesn’t matter who they are going against. They feel like they are capable of defending and playing well. The ball must go in the basket, regardless. We do the best that we can defensively to keep people from their comfort zone.

“Our kids feel very comfortable playing against anyone. But the difference here is when we lose those two [Dowdell and Adrienne Johnson], when you look down our bench, we are not very big at all. So, it’s very difficult to do things when those two are not on the floor.”

After a timeout, FSU used a back-door play to free up Alexa Deluzio and Dowdell was whistled for her fifth and final foul. The Seminoles would hit 10-of-10 free throws in the final 1:39 of the game while Tech missed its final seven field goal attempts.

Dowdell recorded her 22nd double double of the season with 28 points and 12 rebounds while Bendolph added 11 points and four assists.

FSU was led by Malone and Courtney Ward with 16 points while Chasity Clayton and Deluzio each scored 10 points.

In its nearly 50 years of existence, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and MEDIA feature some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions.

The WAC has experienced tremendous success. The WAC has sent a total of 31 teams to bowl games since 2001, including more than half of its teams in 2008 with a record-tying five teams. Boise State has won 102 football games since joining the conference, the most in the nation during that time span (2001-09). The conference has sent teams to BCS bowl games in three of the last four seasons as Boise State made a repeat appearance with a victory in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl this past year following Hawai‘i’s 2008 Sugar Bowl and Boise State’s unforgettable victory in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 27 seasons.

Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In baseball, the WAC has boasted two national champions since 2003 including Fresno State’s College World Series victory in 2008. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but three. In 2009, Hawai‘i made its fourth trip to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four since 2000.

Current WAC alums have made their presence felt as well. David Carr (Fresno State) was the first player selected in the 2002 NFL Draft.

Cheryl Ford (Louisiana Tech) was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and helped the Detroit Shock win the league’s championship in 2003.

In 2004, the United States’ softball team won the Olympic gold medal with former Fresno State players Laura Berg and Lovie Jung. Jeff Weaver (Fresno State) earned the win in the St. Louis Cardinals’ World Series clinching victory in 2006. Quarterback Colt Brennan (Hawai‘i) finished third in the 2007 Heisman Trophy voting, and in 2008, Natasha Kai (Hawai‘i) helped the United States to a gold medal in soccer at the Olympics in Beijing.

In 2001, the WAC partnered with ESPN for coverage of football and basketball giving the conference national exposure from one of the most respected broadcast entities in the country. An extension was signed in 2008 that guarantees over 300 regular season WAC contests and 45 championship events will be aired on the ESPN networks through the spring of 2017. The WAC also officially added WAC.tv in 2006 to give fans streaming internet access to many of its postseason championships

including volleyball, soccer, swimming and diving, basketball, gymnastics, softball and baseball.

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.

The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Fresno State was the last WAC school to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2008.

Since 1962, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force (1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC. Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999. Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. The current membership was established on July 1, 2005, when Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew.

The WAC has had just five commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the first leader of the conference and held the position from 1962-1968. He was followed by Wiles Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe Kearney (1980-94) and Karl Benson (1994-present).

Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and fieldand volleyball.

The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

Karl

Benson

WAC Commissioner When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position.

Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC. Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nation’s top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with the invitations of New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho a few years ago.

Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06.

Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

In the summer of 2005, he implemented “Play Up” a new marketing campaign to improve the public and private perceptions of the WAC and its members through national, local and regional touch points. The conference officially added WAC.tv prior to the 2006-07 season, giving fans streaming video access to many of the postseason championships of the sports offered by the WAC. In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecast of its basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s basketball contract, the first in conference history. In 2008, Benson negotiated an extension with ESPN that gives the WAC over 300 regular season contests and 45 championship events that will be aired through the 2016-17 season.

Benson came to the WAC after four successful

years as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl.

Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner.

Benson joined the NCAA staff in January, 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June, 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988.

In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships.

A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah.

Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah.

He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006.

Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, 18.

Techster History

When Louisiana Tech President F. Jay Taylor appointed physical education instructor Sonja Hogg as the first head coach in the history of the Lady Techsters women’s basketball program in 1973, very few people ever dreamed it was the birth of one of the premier programs in the country - but history proves this to be a fact.

“There was no way to expect the outpouring of devotion when it all started back in 1974,” Hogg said. “Of course, we couldn’t really envision the scope and magnitude of what might be accomplished by this program, either.”

Hogg and Taylor were staples in the program’s early success, and the addition of a young Leon Barmore as an assistant in 1977 and eventually the head coach in 1982 only strengthened an already dominating Lady Techsters program. After 20 years as head coach of Tech, Barmore retired Aug. 22, 2002, as the winningest coach percentage wise in the history of collegiate basketball -- men’s or women’s -- with an incredible mark of 576-87 (.869).

One day after Barmore’s announcement, Louisiana Tech Athletic Director Jim Oakes named Kurt Budke as the third head coach in the illustrious history of Lady Techster basketball. Budke responded by leading the Lady Techsters to a 31-3 record and the Sweet 16 of the 2003 NCAA Tournament in his first year.

Following the season, Budke departed Tech and President Dan Reneau and Athletic Director Jim Oakes along with the Tech Athletic Council decided to promote six-year assistant coach Chris Long as the fourth head coach in the program’s history.

Long’s first season was a success as he was named the WAC Coach of the Year after leading Tech to a 26-5 mark and the program’s 25th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Former Kodak All-American, Wade Trophy winner and WNBA AllStar Teresa Weatherspoon was promoted from associate head coach to the fifth head coach in the program’s history in April of 2009 after she guided the Lady Techsters to a 9-2 mark over the final 11 games of the 2008-09 season and a share of the WAC regular season title.

This past year she led the Lady Techsters back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006 as Tech captured the WAC Tournament title with a 68-66 win over Fresno State in the championship game.

Heading into its 37th season, Louisiana Tech is still considered one of the top five women’s basketball programs in the history of the game, and rightly so. The numbers tell the story.

LA Tech has the chance this season to join Tennessee as the only two programs to ever register 1,000 wins as the Lady Techsters currently stand at 976.

No one can argue the incredible success this mid-major school has seen on the women’s basketball front over the years. The stories are numerous and the memories are various - however, the results have always been the same ... a winning tradition.

Louisiana Tech embarked on its new adventure Jan. 7, 1975, when the 12-member Lady Techster squad under the direction of Coach Sonja Hogg lost to Southeastern Louisiana 59-55 at Memorial Gym in Ruston.

The Lady Techsters would rebound and post the school’s first ever victory Jan. 24, when Tech downed Louisiana State University

97-83 in Memorial Gym. Tech eventually finished the regular season 11-7 before splitting four games at the Louisiana AIAW State Tournament. Tech’s season ended with a two-point defeat to McNeese State at the tournament, but the foundation had been set for years to come.

1975-76

Tech’s second year of women’s basketball proved to be even better than the first as the Lady Techsters posted a 19-10 record. Tech’s 14-member roster was comprised of all Louisiana athletes with freshman Kay Ford and sophomore Mary Robertson coming from farthest away — Alexandria, La., located less than 100 miles from Ruston.

Hogg’s team opened the season with two convincing wins over Ouachita Baptist and Nicholls State before dropping a 74-63 decision to Panola Junior College. On three separate occasions during the season, Tech posted four-game winning streaks.

Once again the Lady Techsters earned a bid to the Louisiana AIAW State Tournament where they won two games before being ousted by LSU. Statistical Leaders: Kay Ford, 18.5 ppg; Belinda Jones, 13.4 rpg Honors: Ford, Mandy Warren, DeMoss — All-Louisiana

Two more victories over Northwestern and Tennessee moved Tech into the National Championship game against Old Dominion where the Lady Techsters lost 75-65.

Tech ended the season ranked No. 2 in the country. The Lady Techsters also posted milestone victory No. 100 defeating Southern 105-83 in the LAIAW Tournament.

The Lady Techsters posted the first of 23 20-plus winning seasons by registering a 22-9 mark and earning the school’s first ever trip to the AIAW Regional Tournament.

Once again an all-Louisiana roster rolled along as the Techsters posted a 15-7 regular season mark before entering the state AIAW Tournament for the third consecutive year.

However, this time Tech’s balanced attack - featuring four players averaging double figures -was simply too much for opponents as the Lady Techsters captured the state title by winning four consecutive games.

In the regional tournament, Tech opened with a convincing victory over Oklahoma State before falling to Baylor in a tight contest. Two more Lady Techster wins, over Texas-Arlington and Northwestern State, advanced them to the title game where they fell 94-85 to Texas.

Although the Lady Techsters posted another 20-win season and earned its second trip to the AIAW Regional Tournament, the big news was the hiring of a 33-year-old assistant named Leon Barmore.

Barmore, who lettered for the Tech men’s program for three years, came to Tech after coaching in the high school ranks for 11 seasons at Bastrop and Ruston High Schools. Barmore’s vast coaching knowledged combined with Hogg’s recruiting prowess formed one of the most talented coaching staffs in the country.

On the playing court, Tech posted a 20-8 record on the road to earning the school’s first ever national ranking. After making its third straight appearance in the AIAW Regional Tournament and splitting four games, the Lady Techsters ended the season ranked 20th in the country.

Expectations were high entering the season as Tech returned the nucleus of its national title game team and Lady Techster fans would not be disappointed. Once again the Lady Techsters cruised through the regular season before advancing through the state and regional AIAW Tournaments.

Tech defeated Kansas and Long Beach State to earn its second Final Four appearance before falling to Old Dominion and South Carolina to finish fourth in the country. The 40-5 mark still stands as the national and school record for the most victories in a season.

Once again Pam Kelly dominated inside, scoring 932 points during the season, a mark that still stands in the Tech record books. Kelly earned the program’s first Kodak All-American honor for her efforts.

Championship title.

After defeating Southern California 66-50 in the semifinal game of the Final Four in Eugene, Oregon, Tech faced Tennessee. The contest was nationally televised on NBC-TV as the nation watched Tech down the Lady Vols 79-59 in what would eventually become the top rivalry in women’s basketball.

The win marked the 27th time in 34 games that the Lady Techsters had won by 20 or more points. “We knew with the schedule we were playing that it would be exciting for our fans and that we would certainly find out how good we were,” said Leon Barmore.

However, perhaps only Street & Smith’s had the foresight to know as the preseason publication had picked Tech to win it all in October. It wouldn’t be Tech’s last.

As dominating as the previous years Tech team was, the 1981-82 squad might have been the best ever. Although they did falter once during the season, the Lady Techsters marched through the playoffs and captured the first national championship game in NCAA history.

In addition to its second straight national title, Tech set a women’s collegiate basketball record with 54 consecutive victories (the streak was snapped in a 61-58 loss at Old Dominion in the middle of the season), was ranked No. 1 for every week of the season for the second straight year, another record, and once again closed out the season on national

Tech’s record-setting starting lineup was comprised of Pam Kelly, Lori Scott, Angela Turner, Kim Mulkey and Janice Lawrence.

The Lady Techsters 76-62 win over Cheyney State in the championship game was once again nationally televised.

During the course of the season, Tech won the 200th game in the program’s history with a 94-53 victory over Oral Roberts in Ruston.

The 1982-83 season brought with it much change for the Lady Techsters. Gone were three-time Kodak AllAmerican Pam Kelly and one-time All-American Angela Turner. Also, Leon Barmore was promoted to co-Head Coach before the start of the season.

Probably the biggest change for the program was a new home as the 8,000seat Thomas Assembly Center opened, replacing old Memorial Gym. However, one thing did remain the same as the Lady Techsters kept rolling along, earning a fifth straight Final Four and a third straight title game appearance.

The only thing that stood in the way of another perfect season was Southern California who defeated the Lady Techsters twice, in the home opener at the TAC (64-58) and in the national title game (69-67).

Tech finished the season 31-2.

The one-two combination of Janice Lawrence and Kim Mulkey returned for their senior seasons with hopes of reclaiming the national title.

And after starting the season with 18 straight wins, including a 75-66 win over Southern California at the TAC, it looked like little could stop Barmore and Hogg’s team.

Only two close losses against Memphis State and Old Dominion blemished Tech’s regular season mark and the Lady Techsters cruised through the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament to advance to a sixth straight Final Four.

However, for the second season in a row, Tech was knocked off by Southern California in the Final Four as the Lady Techsters ended the year 30-3.

1984-85

Although a number of impressive streaks ended, this was another exciting season of Lady Techster basketball. Tech opened the year with 18 straight wins, including a memorable 79-77 overtime victory over I-20 and Top 25 rival UL-Monroe in front of a Thomas Assembly Center record crowd of 8,975.

Tech stumbled at the midway point, dropping three of five games, including a loss in the rematch against ULM. However, the Lady Techsters - in Hogg’s last season as coach - won seven straight games to end the regular season and gain momentum entering the NCAA Tournament.

After two lopsided wins in the first two rounds, Tech and ULM faced off for a third time, with the Lady Indians prevailing 85-76.

The loss prevented two streaks from continuing as Tech’s 29-4 mark ended a string of six straight years with 30 or more wins and it also prevented the Lady Techsters from earning a seventh straight Final Four.

Tech did capture the 300th win in the program’s history with a 78-59 victory over Oral Roberts.

A new era began in 1985-86 as Leon Barmore took over the sole reigns of the Lady Techsters after Sonja Hogg’s retirement.

Barmore led a relatively young team - featuring only one senior - to a 25-4 regular season mark, including impressive road victories over Tennessee, Alabama and Oklahoma State. Tech was 13-1 on the season before freshman Nora Lewis, who was averaging 13.3 points and 7.1 rebounds, suffered a season-ending knee injury.

The Lady Techsters entered the NCAA Tournament and promptly defeated Washington and Long Beach State before exiting with a 80-64 loss to Southern California in the third round.

Tech ended the season with an impressive 27-5 mark, and Barmore claimed milestone victory No. 100 in a win over UCLA Jan. 4, 1986, in Ruston.

Just call them the Cardiac Kids. After losing so convincingly in the national championship game the season before, Louisiana Tech felt it had plenty to prove entering the season - its first as a member of the newlyformed American South Conference.

After Tech shot out of the gates winning the first 20 games of the season, including only one by less than 10 points, they dropped two consecutive last second contests against Tennessee and Penn State. The losses would be the last of the season.

After easily claiming the ASC regular season and tournament titles, the Lady Techsters entered the NCAA Tournament and downed Kansas and Mississippi, setting up a third-round game against Texas in Austin.

In what is still remembered as a classic, Tech downed the Lady Longhorns 83-80 in overtime to advance to yet another Final Four. The Lady Techsters got revenge over the earlier loss to Tennessee by downing the Lady Vols 68-59, setting up the national title game against Auburn.

Just when it looked like Tech would drop a second straight title game - trailing by 14 at halftime - the Lady Techsters unloaded in the second half and won its third national championship 56-54 in Tacoma, Wash.

“We were on the floor, flat on our backs,” Barmore said. “You find out a lot about yourself when you’re down. I’m proud that when we were down we had the kids on the floor who could get up and come back.”

Tech ended the season 32-2.

After graduating three starters off its national championship team, many people thought this season would be a rebuilding one. However, Leon Barmore worked his magic again, posting a 32-4 mark.

Tech cruised through the regular season, suffering close losses against Tennessee (twice) and Colorado, while claiming second straight ASC regular season and tournament titles. Tech downed Oklahoma State, LSU and Stanford to advance to another Final Four before Auburn ousted the Lady Techsters 76-71.

During the course of the season two more milestones were set as the program won its 400th game in a 79-51 victory over Holy Cross, while Barmore won his 200th game as Tech defeated Arkansas State 91-46 Feb. 11, 1989, in Ruston.

This proved to be a transition year as the American South joined the Sun Belt Conference. On the hardwood, the Lady Techsters tried to regain their old form, but struggled through another season of mediocrity at 20-10.

A bright spot for the Lady Techsters was the return of Shantel Hardison after a year off. Hardison became the first Lady Techsters to ever lead the team in points, rebounds and assists in the same season, which earned her SBC Player of the Year honors.

Just when it looked like the Lady Techster dynasty might be slowly folding, Leon Barmore brought in one of the nation’s Top 5 recruiting classes.

And although Tech lost three of its first eight games - two against nationally ranked Tennessee and Texas Tech - the Lady Techsters slowly found their chemistry and by the end of the regular season looked poised to make a run at the Final Four.

After winning the Sun Belt regular season title, Tech received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after dropping the SBC Tournament title game to Western Kentucky. Tech’s resurgence surprised many as the Techsters won the first three games of the tournament before losing a 57-52 heart-breaker to No. 1 ranked Vanderbilt in the Midwest Finals.

However, the 26-6 record showed Tech was back among the nation’s elite. During the course of the season, Tech also won the 500th game in the program’s history with a 93-72 win over Alabama in Ruston.

The highly-touted Techster team stumbled early in the season, losing a tough game at Iowa before being embarrassed at Alabama (99-77) and Tennessee (94-60). However, Barmore righted the ship as Tech cruised through the Sun Belt undefeated before easily winning the SBC Tournament title as well.

Tech then proceeded to flex its muscle, winning five straight games in the NCAA Tournament - including revenge wins against both Alabama and Tennessee - to advance to the national title game against North Carolina.

With less than one second remaining and Tech leading 59-57, the fourth national title was well within the Techsters grasp. However, a three-point shot by Charlotte Smith at the buzzer robbed Tech of another title.

After opening the season with a loss at top-ranked Tennessee, Tech won 12 straight before falling again to the Lady Vols. Tech then marched through the Sun Belt with only one blemish in claiming its third straight regular season title. Another loss in the SBC Tournament finals against the Lady Toppers left the Lady Techsters with an at-large bid to the NCAA’s.

After two wins over Furman and Oklahoma in the first two rounds of the tournament, Tech dropped another one-point loss this time against Virginia in the regional semifinals.

With Tech leading with only eight minutes remaining in the game, a career-ending injury to Maquisha Walker deflated the Techsters as they fell to the Lady Bulldogs.

Starting one freshman, three sophomores and a junior college transfer, Louisiana Tech proceeded to post a 31-4 record and win their fifth-straight regular season Sun Belt Conference title.

And although the Techsters fell 93-75 to undefeated Tennessee in the title game, Tech’s success led to all five starters being named to the All-Sun Belt Conference team another first in not only Tech history but also league history.

The Lady Techsters defeated Central Florida, Penn State, LSU and UCLA on their way to another Final Four appearance. A 77-63 loss to Purdue in the national semifinals ended the season.

After losing three players to the professional ranks, Leon Barmore was faced with a team that had only one player with more than one year of Lady Techster experience in point guard Tamicha Jackson.

However, like clockwork, Barmore built a machine using the athletic ability of Jackson and Betty Lennox as the Lady Techsters simply ran through, around and away from the competition for most of the year.

Tech would extend its SBC title streak to eight straight while also claiming its fifth straight tournament title. After posting three impressive wins in the NCAA Tournament, including a memorable 66-65 win over Vanderbilt in the second round, the Lady Techsters were ousted in the Midwest Regional finals by Penn State.

However, Barmore reached another milestone when he claimed coaching victory No. 500 as the Techsters defeated South Alabama

2000-01

Tech returned only one starter from the previous season and lost super sophomore Catrina Frierson with a torn ACL prior to the start of the year. Once again many national publications called for the Techsters demise but Leon Barmore would have none of it.

After starting the season by capturing the prestigious preseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament with a win over No. 4 Purdue, the seniorless Lady Techsters never looked back. Tough losses to nationally ranked Tennessee and Connecticut didn’t deter Tech as Barmore and company claimed their ninth straight Sun Belt Conference regular season title and sixth straight tournament title.

The Lady Techsters won three games in the NCAA Tournament before falling to Connecticut but finished the season 31-5. With the 31 wins, Barmore became the first coach in NCAA Division I history to record six straight 30-plus win seasons.

Louisiana Tech returned all five starters from its Elite Eight team of the year before as it entered its first year as a member of the Western Athletic Conference.

However, after downing No. 17 Michigan in the season opener, the Lady Techsters went on arguably the toughest three-game road stretch in the program’s history, playing Tennessee, Duke and Connecticut (all eventual Final Four teams) in a two-week period.

The Techsters ran away with the WAC regular season title -- the program’s 10th straight regular season conference title -- before claiming the WAC Tournament title and the automatic bid to the program’s 21st straight NCAA Tournament.

The Lady Techsters finished the season 25-5 after falling to UC-Santa Barbara on a last-second shot in the NCAA Tournament, the 25th time in 28 years Tech had won 20 or more games.

Junior center Cheryl Ford was named the WAC Player of the Year while senior forward Ayana Walker and sophomore guard Amber Obaze both made the Kodak All-District team.

Senior guard Brooke Lassiter finished her four-year Tech career as the NCAA career leader in free throw percentage at 91.8 percent (269 of 293).

Walker and senior center Takeisha Lewis were both selected in the 2002 WNBA Draft.

The Kurt Budke era began at Louisiana Tech with question marks surrounding the Lady Techster program after the loss of five seniors from the previous team. However, Budke and Co. showed the nation early that Louisiana Tech was once again going to be mentioned among the nation’s elite as the Lady Techsters downed No. 7 Texas Tech 85-76 in the season opener.

The ride on Cloud 9 was shortlived as Tech lost two of its next three games and came to a cross roads in its season heading down to Tulane for a match-up against the Green Wave. Tech responded with a resounding 68-53 win, the first of what would be 29 straight.

Tech entered Christmas break defeating No. 25 ranked New Mexico at The Pit, the loss would be the only one at home during the regular season for the Lobos, proving what a feat the Lady Techsters had accomplished.

The Western Athletic Conference had hopes that the Lady Techsters could be beaten (after the Rice Owls had accomplished the feat at the end of the 2001-02 season). However, led by Cheryl Ford, who would win her second straight Conference Player of the Year Award while destroying both the school and league rebounding records, the Lady Techsters posted a perfect 18-0 mark in WAC play, claiming yet another conference title.

After winning the WAC Tournament title and advancing to the program’s 22nd straight NCAA Tournament, Louisiana Tech defeated both Pepperdine and No. 20 Ohio State before falling to No. 3 ranked LSU 69-63 in the Sweet 16. In addition to Ford’s honor, Trina Frierson also earned first team All-WAC honors while guards Amber Obaze and Erica Smith both were named to the All-WAC second team and the league’s all-defensive unit. Budke earned the WAC Coach of the Year Award.

Following the season, Ford was the third overall selection in the 2003 WNBA Draft by the Detroit Shock and would earn that league’s 2003 Rookie of the Year Award.

During the season, the retired Leon Barmore was announced as a member of the 2003 Class for both the Women’s Basketball Hall of

Louisiana Tech returned the nucleus of a team that went 31-3 the previous season although the Lady Techsters had to find a replacement for the departure of center Cheryl Ford, who won the 2003 WNBA Rookie of the Year Award.

The Lady Techsters started strong winning their first three games, including posting an impressive road victory over Illinois in late November. Following an early December road loss at Tennessee, Tech reeled off five more wins in a row.

The pinnacle of the out of conference schedule was a memorable 87-84 win over No. 6 ranked Penn State on the home floor of the Nittney Lions, a PSU team that had already deafeted LSU, Texas and Kansas State. After Penn State hit a three-pointer with 7.5 seconds remaining to tie the game up, Tech’s Amber Obaze hit a 35-footer with 1.2 seconds remaining to lead the Techsters to the win.

After falling 87-84 to Rice in the second WAC game of the conference season, the Lady Techsters responded and promptly reeled off 16 straight wins to claim their third straight league title. Tech then won three straight contests in the WAC Tournament by an average margin of 31.6 points to earn the automatic berth in the program’s 23rd straight NCAA Tournament.

Two wins in Missoula, Montana, including a memorable 81-77 victory over host Montana before a soldout crowd of over 7,500 screaming Lady Griz fans, sent the Techsters to the East Regional in Norfolk, Va. Tech’s season came to an end with a 63-49 loss to No. 1 ranked Duke as the Lady Techsters finished with a 29-3 mark.

Senior forward Amisha Carter was named the 2004 WAC Player of the Year, while senior Trina Frierson was first team All-WAC and a finalist for the Naismith Player of the Year award. Guards Amber Obaze and Erica Smith-Taylor both earned second team All-WAC honors as well as WAC All-Defensive Team accolades.

The Lady Techsters entered the season with only one returning starter on the floor for the season opener against Ole Miss after graduating three All-WAC performers from the previous year.

Also playing a huge role in Tech’s early season inexperience was the fact Preseason WAC Player of the Year Erica Taylor was sidelined, giving birth to her and husband Jermain’s first child, daughter Nia Jay on Dec. 15.

With Taylor not returning to the Tech lineup until late January, junior point guard Tasha Williams was Tech’s lone starter from the previous year. Crain and Co. met a tough out-of-conference schedule, posting wins over Ole Miss, Arkansas State, Western Kentucky and Alcorn State, while falling to Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi State and Illinos.

Although Tech had won 10 straight regular season conference titles, many experts believed this would be the year the string was snapped. However, the Techsters made a statement early in conference play, overcoming a 16-point second half deficit to down Rice on New Year’s Day. Behind the play of Williams, who would see her scoring

www.latechsports.com average increase from 4.3 her sophomore season to 18.2 this year, and guards Lakiste Barkus and Shan Moore, the Techsters posted a 14-4 mark in the WAC, tying Rice for the regular season title.

The Lady Techsters string of 23 straight NCAA Tournament appearances was on the line in the semifinals of the 2005 WAC Tournament as Tech overcame a 15-point deficit with 7:02 to play before downing Fresno State 92-87 in double overtime.

Despite falling in the WAC Tournament Championship game to Rice, Tech received an at-large berth into the Tournament as a No. 11 seed.

Tech traveled to Storrs, Conneticut, and faced No. 6 seed and Top 25 Temple in the first round. Despite dominating the Owls for the entire first half, the Lady Techsters eventually fell 66-61.

In addition to Williams earning the WAC Player of the Year honor, Barkus was named second team all-WAC while the pair both made the WAC all-defensive team.

One week following the conclusion of the season, head coach Kurt Budke departed for the head coaching job at Oklahoma State.

On April 8th, 2005, Chris Long was named as the fourth head coach in the program’s history in a press conference in the Hall of Fame Room at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Following the season, Taylor was selected in the second round of the WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics.

2005-06

After opening his tenure as the head coach of the Louisiana Tech women’s basketball program with a loss at Western Kentucky, Chris Long and his team bounced right back in record-breaking fashion.

Trailing by 19 points with less than eight minutes to play, Long and Co. rallied for a 95-91 double overtime win over Iowa in game No. 2 of the year ... setting the tone for another successful season.

Behind the leadership of four-year starting point guard Tasha Williams and the record-breaking outside shooting of senior Aarica Ray-Boyd, Tech not only won its sixth straight regular season Western Athletic Conference title and earned the automatic berth to the program’s 25th straight NCAA Tournament, but they regained their rightful place among the nation’s Top 25.

Tech overcame a lot of adversity and posted a very impressive 26-5 record on the season and earned a trip to Denver, Colo., for the first two rounds of the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

Their opening round match-up against Florida State was considered one of the premier battles in the first round of the tournament by the women’s college basketball experts.

However, only three days prior to the game, Williams suffered a severe ankle injury which proved costly to the Techsters and their

fans as the Seminoles downed Tech 80-71, ending the Lady Techsters season.

Williams, Ray-Boyd, Shan Moore and Ty Moore all earned All-WAC honors during the season while Williams and RayBoyd both earned Kodak All-District accolades.

2006-07

Louisiana Tech simply had a tough year.

Between a tough non-conference schedule that featured eventual Final Four opponents in Tennessee and LSU and six losses by six points or less, 2006-07 wasn’t a typical Louisiana Tech season.

The Techsters started out the year losing seven of their first nine games before rebounding and ending the year winning 15 of their last 21.

Head coach Chris Long’s team was streaky at best, posting some impressive wins over the likes of Mississippi State, Rice, Alabama, and Boise State.

When they were on, the Lady Techsters were tough to beat as proven by the program winning its sixth straight Western Athletic Conference regular season title.

However, inconsistent offensive play eventually spelled doom as a first round loss in the 2007 WAC Tournament ended the program’s 25 year streak of making the NCAA Tournament.

Senior Shan Moore was named the 2007 WAC Player of the Year while junior Jo Sneed was named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Newcomer of the Year.

2007-08

For the second straight year, Louisiana Tech came up short in its bid for the NCAA Tournament as the Lady Techsters fell in the semifinals of the 2008 Western Athletic Conference Tournament.

What started out as a season full of high hopes turned into a year of injuries and missed opportunities as the Lady Techsters finished 16-15.

It was the program’s 34th straight winning season -- Tech has never had a losing campaign. However, in Ruston, La., expectations are always high and anything less than an NCAA Tournament berth is considered a down season.

A preseason injury to freshman guard Sidney Stewart and a season-ending injury to sophomore guard Whitney Jones in the seventh game of the year increased the challenges for Tech head coach Chris Long and Co. The highlight of the season was the play of senior forward Jo Sneed, who averaged a double double and earned first team all-WAC and all-state honors, and the development of freshmen Adrienne Johnson and Tarkeisha Wysinger.

It proved to be an up and down season for the Lady Techsters in 2008-09 as LA Tech hovered around the .500 mark for most of the year. It took a late season run that saw the Lady Techsters win their final seven WAC regular season games to propel the program to a share of the conference title.

Interim head coach Teresa Weatherspoon and Co. entered the WAC Tournament as the No. 2 seed and saw its eight-game winning streak snapped in a memorable 91-88 overtime loss to Nevada in the WAC Tournament semifinals.

However, the Lady Techsters earned a berth in the WNIT where they dismantled Conference USA regular season champion SMU before falling in the second round to Illinois State.

Tech posted a 21-13 mark on the year, the 29th season of 20 or more victories.

Junior Shanavia Dowdell was named the WAC Player of the Year and first team all-state while sophomore Adrienne Johnson earned first team all-conference and all-state honors. Johnson was also named to the WAC All-Defensive team.

Back to the Big Dance. The Lady Techsters returned to their rightful place in the postseason as Teresa Weatherspoon and Co. recorded a mark of 23-9 which included a heart-stopping 68-66 victory over Fresno State in the WAC Tournament championship game.

The non-conference portion of the season was highlighted with matchups against Top 10 foes LSU and Baylor as the Lady Techsters dropped a tough 77-74 contest against the Tigers in Ruston before falling 77-67 to the eventual Final Four participant Bears in Waco.

After splitting their first six WAC games of the year, the seasonchanger came in a home game against Idaho. Tech trailed by four points with 28 seconds to play, but back-to-back three-pointers including the game-tying one by Jasmine Bendolph with eight seconds to play sent the game into overtime. Tech won 74-71 which started a stretch of eight wins over a nine-game span.

Entering the WAC Tournament as the No. 2 seed, Tech defeated Utah State easily in the Quarterfinals before downing host Nevada 80-77 in a semifinal classic -- setting up a showdown with Fresno State which had won 18 straight WAC games and 19 straight games overall.

The Lady Techsters led by double digits in the first half before trailing 37-36 at the break. After building a nine-point lead in the final half, Tech watched Fresno State fight back to take a one-point lead with less than a minute to play.

However, Bendolph sank an 18-footer with the shot clock running down and Tech hung on for the win.

The Techsters earned a No. 14 seed and traveled to face ACC champion Florida State on their home floor in the NCAA Tournament.

Behind 28 points from Shanavia Dowdell, Tech took the Seminoles down to the wire before falling.

Dowdell earned her second straight WAC Player of the Year award while Teresa Weatherspoon was named the WBCA Maggie Dixon Rookie Coach of the Year.

Kodak All-Americans When a program’s won 953 games, participated in 30 national postseason tournaments including 26 NCAA Tournaments, advanced to 13 Final Fours, competed in eight national championship games and won three national titles, then it’s been fortunate enough to recruit some of the top players in the history of the women’s game. That’s just what Louisiana Tech has accomplished.

Over the 36 years of Lady Techster basketball, the Memorial Gym and Thomas Assembly Center crowds have watched 11 Kodak AllAmericans suit up in the Columbia blue and red Tech uniform. The names ring like a who’s who in the history of the game - Pam Kelly, Angela Turner, Janice Lawrence, Pam Gant, Teresa Weatherspoon, Nora Lewis, Venus Lacy, Vickie Johnson, Debra Williams, Amanda Wilson and Tamicha Jackson.

Four of those individuals - Kelly, Lawrence, Weatherspoon and Johnson - have won the award multiple times thus Tech can claim 16 Kodak All-Americans.

Pam Kelly

(1978-82) Kodak Year(s): 1980, 1981, 1982 When people think about some of the most dominating post players in the history of women’s basketball, Louisiana Tech’s Pam Kelly has to be near the top of the list. Despite the fact Kelly was a mere 6-foot tall, the Columbia, La., native recorded one of the most remarkable careers in Lady Techster history. Tech’s only three-time Kodak All-America honoree first ever recipient, Kelly led Tech to two national championships - the 1980-81 AIAW title and the 1981-82 NCAA title. During her four year career, the 1982 Wade Trophy winner scored an incredible 2,979 points and grabbed 1,511 rebounds while leading the Lady Techsters to a 143-10 record - the most wins ever over a four-year period in the history of the program. Almost 20 years after Kelly’s playing days ended, she still ranks No. 1 in scoring, No. 1 in rebounding, No. 1 in field goals made (1,193), No.1 in free throws made (593), No. 2 in scoring average (19.5) and No. 7 in steals (274). Kelly - whose number is retired - was enshrined in the Louisiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984 and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.

41

Angela Turner (1978-1982) Kodak Year(s): 1982

Known affectionately as A.T. by all Lady Techster fans, the sharp-shooting Angela Turner is still considered today as one of the best all-around players in the history of Tech basketball. A key component to Tech’s early success in women’s basketball, Turner helped lead the Lady Techsters to four straight Final Fours and two national championship titles - the

1981 AIAW and the 1982 NCAA. The Saline, La., native started from day one at Tech, averaging 16.0 points and 6.5 rebounds her freshman season, earning her the Louisiana Most Valuable Player award. Her sophomore year was even more impressive as Turner scored 817 points, which still stands No. 2 in the Tech record books for most points in a single season. Turner, who earned her Kodak All-American award her senior season as Tech won its second straight national championship title, exemplified the term studentathlete as she also garnered an NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship. Today, Turner is the only Lady Techster to rank in the Top 10 in points (No. 3 with 2,262), rebounds (No. 6 with 1,073), assists (No. 8 with 466) and steals (No. 3 with 358). She also ranks No. 2 in field goals made (1,021). Her No. 5 jersey has been retired at Tech.

Janice Lawrence (1980-1984) Kodak Year(s): 1983, 1984

Many people argue that Janice Lawrence is the greatest player in Louisiana Tech Lady Techster history - an argument that has plenty of factual support. The 6-foot, 3-inch center dominated women’s basketball during her four years at Tech, leading the Lady Techsters to a 136-6 record from 1980 through 1984. Even with her size, Lawrence possessed the ability to shot the 15-footer or put the ball and the floor and go past a defender at any time. The Lucedale, Miss., native participated in four Final Fours and won two national championships during her career while earning almost every individual honor imaginable. Lawrence earned her first Kodak All-American honor following a junior season that saw her average 20.8 points a game. However, that was just the beginning of her accolades. After her senior year, Lawrence earned Kodak All-American honors, and won the Wade Trophy and the Champion Player of the Year award. Today, Lawrence ranks No. 2 in points (2,403), No. 3 in scoring average (17.8), No. 5 in rebounds (1,097), No. 4 in blocked shots (189) and No.

51

5 in steals (291). Lawrence proceeded to win a gold medal in the 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles before playing for three seasons with the WNBA’s Cleveland Rockers.

Lawrence, whose jersey has been retired at Tech, was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in July of 2005 and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.

Pam Gant

(1982-85) Kodak Year(s): 1985 Without a doubt the deadliest outside shooter in the history of Lady Techster basketball is Pam Gant.

The 5-foot-7-inch guard lettered at Tech from 1982 through 1985 and unfortunately played prior to the NCAA’s adoption of the three-point line in women’s basketball. Her outside shooting prowess was known across the nation as Gant connected on an incredible 54.6 percent of her field goal attempts during her four-year career, including an even more amazing 57.5 percent her junior and senior seasons. Gant played on three Final Four teams, including the 1981-82 NCAA National Championship team as a freshman. The Joliet, Illinois, native earned her Kodak AllAmerican honor following the 1984-85 season, one in which Gant averaged 23.6 points a game - still a Louisiana Tech record. She recorded two games of 40-plus points during her career (second only to Sheila Ethridge’s three) including a career-best of 42 points in a win over Penn State and six games of 30-plus points. Gant currently ranks No. 12 in points (1,714), and No. 8 in steals (253).

Teresa Weatherspoon (1984-1988) Kodak Year(s); 1987, 1988

Prior to her WNBA All-Star days with the New York Liberty and Los Angeles Sparks, Teresa Weatherspoon recorded an allstar career with the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters. A fearless leader on and off the

115

louisiana tech LADY TECHSTERS

court, Spoon exemplified the term emotional leader with a burning passion for the game.

During Spoon’s playing days, Tech posted a 118-14 record and played in two national championship games. Spoon earned Kodak AllAmerican honors her final two seasons and capped off her spectacular career by winning the 1988 National Championship and earning the Wade Trophy as the nation’s top women’s collegiate basketball player. Known more for her ball-handling and passing abilities than scoring, the Pineland, Texas, native saved her best performances for some of the nation’s top teams, recording a career high 17 assists against then nationally-ranked Louisiana-Monroe and 10 steals against then nationally-ranked UCLA. During her career, Spoon scored 1,087 points, recorded 958 assists and totaled 411 steals with the assists and steals still ranking No. 1 in the Tech record books. Spoon - whose number is retired - captured an Olympic gold medal in the 1988 games prior to becoming a four-time WNBA All-Star starter with the Liberty. She is an enshrined member of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame and will be enshrined in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.

11

Nora Lewis

(1985-1989) Kodak Year(s): 1989

Nora Lewis’ Louisiana Tech career didn’t start out on the most positive note, but it sure ended on one. Midway through Lewis’ freshman season - one in which she was averaging 13.3 points and 7.1 rebounds - the forward suffered a season-ending knee injury and missed the remaining games. However, Lewis would not be deterred. The Peoria, Ill., native worked hard during the off-season and responded by averaging 14.2 points and 7.8 rebounds her sophomore campaign before helping guide Tech to the 1988 national championship game her junior season. Lewis earned her Kodak All-American honors following an incredible senior season that saw her average a double-double with 18.3 points and 10.9 rebounds a contest.

The 6-foot forward also earned All-American South Conference and All-Louisiana honors her final two seasons. Currently, Lewis ranks No. 10 in points (1,760), No. 6 in free throws made (377) and No. 7 in rebounds (1,071).

Her No. 40 jersey is retired.

116

Venus Lacy (1987-1990) Kodak Year(s): 1990

One of the greatest players in the history of Louisiana Tech didn’t start out as a Lady Techster.

After playing her freshman season at Old Dominion, Venus Lacy made the decision to transfer to Tech - a move that would pay off for both her and the Lady Techsters. A virtual unknown before her playing days in Ruston, Lacy turned into one of the greatest post players in the country in little time. The 6-foot, 4-inch post helped Tech capture its third national championship during her first season (the 1987-88 NCAA title), averaging 14.5 points and 9.2 rebounds. Her junior campaign Lacy earned the American South Conference and Louisiana Player of the Year honors scoring over 20 points a contest.

However, her great career was capped off by earning Kodak All-American honors as well as USBWA and Champion National Player of the Year awards her following her senior season, one in which she averaged 24.2 points a game (still a Louisiana Tech record).

The Chattanooga, Tenn., native finished her three-year Tech career ranking No. 4 in points (2,004), No. 1 in scoring average (20.0), No. 6 in field goals made (793), No. 4 in rebounds (1,125) and No. 7 in blocked shots (164). Lacy went on to win an Olympic gold medal in the 1996 games in Atlanta and played for two seasons with the WNBA’s New York Liberty.

Her jersey is retired at Tech.

43

Vickie Johnson (1993-96) Kodak Year(s): 1995, 1996

A two-time Kodak All-American (1995 and 1996), Johnson helped re-establish Louisiana Tech’s national prominence in the mid-90s after the Lady Techsters had suffered through two mediocre seasons in 1990 and 1991. Johnson was a four-time All-Sun Belt Conference selection during her playing days and earned Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year honors in 1995 and 1996. The Lady Techsters posted a 116-17 record during her four years including a trip to the national championship game in 199394. During her junior year, Johnson became only the second player since Pam Kelly to lead the team in scoring for three straight seasons. The Coushatta, La., native still

remains in the Tech record books, ranking No. 5 in points (1,960), No. 9 in scoring average (15.0), No. 6 in field goals made (793).

Johnson - whose jersey is retired - recently became only the seventh player in WNBA history to score 4,000 career points, and has played 12 seasons in the WNBA. She was enshrined in the Louisiana Tech HOF in 2007.

Debra Williams (1993-96) Kodak Year(s): 1996

Explosive. The perfect adjective to describe former Louisiana Tech great Debra Williams whose offensive moves became legendary around the Thomas Assembly Center during her playing days in the mid-90s. The 5-foot8-inch guard was blessed with talent and used it to her benefit as she teamed with Vickie Johnson to form the best one-two punch in women’s basketball during the time. Williams could hurt the opponent in a number of ways as her feathery touch from the three-point line was almost as deadly as her ability to take her defender off the dribble. The Houston, Texas, native earned All-Sun Belt Conference accolades three times and capped off her career with the Kodak honor in 1996. Williams earned the most valuable player award at the 1995 Sun Belt Conference Tournament as well as the Midwest Regional Tournament.

One of the top three-point threats in Tech history, Williams ended her playing days as the Lady Techsters all-time leader in treys.

Currently, she ranks No. 11 in points (1,749), No. 3 in three-pointers made (136) and attempted (378), No. 7 in field goals attempted (1,574) and No. 10 in three-point field goal percentage (34.0). Williams played for the Portland Power of the American Basketball League until 1998 when the league folded.

Amanda Wilson (1996-99) Kodak Year(s): 1999

If ever a player possessed selfconfidence, Louisiana Tech’s Amanda Wilson was the one.

After a stellar prep career at Shreveport’s Evangel High School, Wilson made the easy decision to sign with the Lady Techsters and make the 60-mile move to Ruston ... a move Tech fans were thrilled about. After averaging 8.0 points in only one

www.latechsports.com start during her freshman season, Wilson cracked the starting lineup at the beginning of her sophomore campaign and never relinquished the position, making 98 consecutive starts. The 6-foot forward earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors three straight seasons while also being named the SBC Player of the Year in 1998 and 1999. Wilson earned her Kodak All-American award following a senior season that saw her average 16.6 points and 7.9 rebounds while shooting an incredible 62 percent from the field and 77 percent from the free throw line as the Lady Techsters advanced to the Final Four. Louisiana Tech won at least 30 games in every year of Wilson’s career. Wilson ranks No. 8 in points (1,832), No. 4 in field goals made (815), and No. 4 in steals (303). The WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury selected Wilson in the fourth round of the 1999 Draft with the 46th overall selection.

Tamicha Jackson (1996-2000) Kodak Year(s): 2000

If Tech fans happened to blink while watching a game, they might just have missed the next Lady Techster Kodak All-American - Tamicha “Action” Jackson who proved lightning-quick during her career.

Jackson started all four years for the Lady Techsters and starred from the beginning, scoring 428 points her rookie campaign while earning All-Sun Belt Conference honors. That was only the beginning as Jackson led Tech to the 1998 NCAA National Championship game against Tennessee. The Dallas, Texas, native became only the second Louisiana Tech player to earn all-conference honors four times and capped her brilliant career by being named the Sun Belt’s Defensive Player of the Year.

Jackson is one of only two Tech players to ever score 1,500 points, record 400 assists and 300 steals in a career (joining Angela Turner). The 5-foot-7-inch lightning rod ended her career as the SBC’s all-time steals leader with 361. Jackson currently ranks No. 9 in points (1,822), No. 9 in field goals made (753), No. 1 in three-pointers made (187), No. 7 in assists (474) and No. 2 in steals (361).

The WNBA’s Detroit Shock selected Jackson in the first round of the 2000 WNBA Draft with the sixth overall pick, and she played seven seasons in the league.

Final Polls The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Mel Greenberg began the Associated Press Women’s Basketball Top 20 poll at the start of the 1976-77 season.

What began as a nationwide panel of 34 coaches now numbers 44 and represents all geographical areas of the nation as well as every conference. In 1989-90 the poll increased from 20 to 25 teams. Below is a history and indepth look at Louisiana Tech’s prominence in the poll.

In the course of winning three national titles, advancing to eight championship games, earning 13 Final Four appearances and dominating the women’s game, Louisiana Tech has been a household name in women’s basketball ... just ask the AP Voters.

There’s a lot to look forward to at Louisiana Tech, as university President Dan Reneau knows well. The university is growing with the increased enrollment of students and the construction of new facilities.

Under Reneau’s leadership, the university is on track in its long-term Tech 2020 goal, a strategy to ensure the university stays in tune with academic, economic, and research trends in the state, region, and nation.

“The transformation of higher education in Louisiana is taking place before our eyes,” Reneau said. “The faculty and staff of Louisiana Tech have chosen to use this transformation as an opportunity to strengthen their institution through a collective and progressive recruitment and retention effort.”

The university has continually thrived with Reneau at the helm in a variety of areas, including: * New construction and renovation of buildings. Currently, the first buildings of Tech’s Enterprise Campus are being constructed, and renovations include the expansion of the Maxie Lambright Intramural Center, the Technology Transfer Center and the Visual Arts Center.

The $20 million Quest for Excellence initiative was also announced in Summer 2010, and plans are in the works for the construction of a 90,000-plus square-foot multipurpose facility in the south end zone of Joe Aillet Stadium. The new facility will benefit all student athletes and will include a state-of-the-art sports medicine facility, a new strength and conditioning complex and a new academic center. * All-time high average ACT score of entering freshmen. The average ACT score of beginning freshmen increased from 22.5 in the fall of 2004 to 23.5 in the fall of 2009. * Received national accolades. The university was ranked among the nation’s best colleges and universities and moved up to a Tier 3 ranking by U.S. News and World Report’s 2010 Best Colleges publication. In addition, Louisiana Tech achieved the state’s highest ranking among public colleges and universities, according to Washington Monthly’s 2009 College Rankings. * Performance-based Funding. Tech fared better than all Louisiana public universities for performance-based funding. * National bookstore chain comes to campus. Barnes & Noble bought out the bookstore and will offer more book selections with plans to expand in three to five years. * Increased enrollment recognized. In Fall 2009, Louisiana Tech’s total enrollment stood at 11,289 students, which represents an addition of 339 students, an increase of 3.1 percent.

Reneau is leaving a lasting legacy with Louisiana Tech, especially with the engineering program. Reneau graduated with his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Tech in 1963 and received his master’s in the same subject in 1964. He received his Ph.D. in 1966 from Clemson University.

Reneau became a faculty member at Tech in 1967 as an assistant professor of chemical engineering and made his way up the ladder to associate professor in 1969 and a full professor in 1973.

Reneau’s professional experience includes serving as a research engineer for both Esso and Humble oil companies and as a consultant for five other corporations and universities.

Reneau also has studied abroad at Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz, West Germany, as an Alexander-von-Humbolt Stiftung visiting professor and also to England at Cambridge and Bristol universities as a visiting professor.

At Tech, Reneau established the biomedical engineering department and was named its head in 1972. The department became the fifth accredited department for its undergraduate curriculum in the United States, and the doctoral program was awarded a commendation of excellence by the Board of Regents.

In 1980, Reneau was promoted to vice president for academic affairs, serving as the chief academic officer to some 400 faculty in six colleges and three professional schools with more than 160 different degree programs. During his tenure as vice president, every major program became accredited, and he was also instrumental in

establishing the Center for Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science.

Reneau was selected as the university’s 13th president Feb. 20, 1987, and the public endorsed their new president before the decision was even made. The university paper, The Tech Talk, issued a rare endorsement for the Tech alumnus; the Student Government Association supported his selection through a resolution sent to Baton Rouge; many faculty members circulated a petition for his appointment; and even the Faculty Senate gave Reneau a stamp of approval.

When hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Louisiana coast in 2005, under Reneau’s leadership, Tech welcomed hundreds of evacuees and offered them shelter in Caruthers Residence Hall.

Tech also opened its doors to students from various universities in New Orleans as well as the Tulane University football team.

Tech continues to flourish under Reneau’s leadership. In 2007, the university and its president received a glowing review from a team led by national educational consultant James Fisher.

Tech’s graduate programs continue to prosper, as well. A total of ten doctoral degrees are now available at Tech, including a new doctoral program in industrial and organizational psychology that began in 2009. In 2007, Tech produced the first graduate in the world who holds a bachelor’s degree in nanosystems engineering. Last year, Tech reported a record graduate student enrollment with graduate enrollment totaling 2,530, an increase of 9.3 percent.

As Tech holds strong to its 2020 goal, progress is echoed by research, such as a study conducted by the Applied Research Technology Corporation of Baton Rouge. The study shows that Louisiana Tech students have an annual statewide spending impact of $145 million and contribute over 56 hours of volunteerism per student, per year.

Over the past 10 years, 65 percent of Tech’s graduates have stayed in Louisiana with total earnings of nearly $1 billion.

“One of Louisiana Tech’s greatest strengths has always been the quality of its students,” Reneau said. “Their success, both during and after college, will impact not only the future of our university, but also the future of our region and our state. As a campus community, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to continue recruiting, educating and graduating the next generation of Louisiana’s leaders.”

Reneau, a native of Woodville, Miss., was born June 11, 1940.

He started as a student at Tech in 1959 and met his wife, the former Linda Digby, of Bernice, while a student at Tech. Reneau and his wife have two children, John and Dana, who are both Tech alumni as well.

John lives in Las Vegas, and Dana lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, Jim Bernhard, and their two sons, Michael and Ben.

BRUCE

Van De VelDe

Athletics Director

LA TECH OUTLOOK COACHES BULLDOGS STADIUM

Bruce Van De Velde was named Louisiana Tech’s athletics director in February of 2010 by Louisiana Tech President Dr. Dan Reneau.

“Bruce is well qualified by national standards to fill the position of athletics director at Louisiana Tech,” Reneau said.

“I feel that we made an excellent choice in selecting him to lead Tech athletics to national prominence and to serve the needs of our student-athletes.”

Van De Velde, who joined the University in June of 2008 as deputy athletics director and chief operating officer, took over full leadership of a department that fields 16 NCAA Division I sanctioned programs, including nine women’s and seven men’s sports, that compete in the highly-competitive Western Athletic Conference.

“It is an honor to be named as the director of athletics at Louisiana Tech University,” Van De Velde said. “I look forward to serving our student-athletes, faculty, staff, alumni and fans. Our vision is to build a program to a level where we can be associated with universities that aspire to academic and athletic excellence at the highest level.

“This goal is consistent with the vision President Reneau has established for the University which is to become north Louisiana’s premier national research university. In order to accomplish this vision we must engage all of our 80,000 alumni, fans and supporters and ask them for their participation. It takes resources to achieve our goal, and we need every one to support the program.”

During his tenure Van De Velde has been instrumental in a number of accomplishments that have helped further the advancement of the University’s athletic department, including: • Developed, negotiated and implemented $6.75 million multi-media and marketing rights agreement with Learfield Communications. Contract more than doubled revenue derived from corporate sponsorships and created state-wide radio network for Louisiana Tech athletics. Negotiated purchase of $1.6 million Daktronics large screen high-definition video board for Joe Aillet Stadium.

• Upgraded ticket operations by negotiating new contract with Ticketmaster. Improved customer service, marketing and communication efforts. Developed e-commerce capabilities by implementing on-line ticketing. Established new record for football season ticket sales. Sold allotment of 12,000 Independence Bowl tickets.

• Reorganized annual giving program doubling the number of donors and increased total annual contributions to the program by 75 percent.

Developed marketing efforts to strengthen outreach and established an agenda for growth. Implemented new giving plan for 1,150 new chair-back seats for football.

• Led a national search in January of 2010 to hire head football coach Sonny Dykes from the University of Arizona. Was instrumental in hiring head women’s basketball coach in Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame member Teresa Weatherspoon.

• In 2010, the Louisiana Tech athletic department earned the PRISM Award for excellence in athletics management under Van De Velde’s leadership.

•Organized a $20 million fund raising campaign for Louisiana Tech athletics “Quest for Excellence.” Oversaw the development of the design of a new $20 million athletic sports complex.

Tech has also seen plenty of success on the fields and courts since Van De Velde’s arrival at Tech as the Bulldog football team captured its first bowl victory in more than 30 years with the 2008 Independence Bowl title. The Lady Techster basketball team won the 2009 regular season Western Athletic Conference title and the 2010 WAC Tournament title,

FOOTBALL

and the women’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams won both the 2009 and 2010 league titles.

The University’s student-athletes have also seen success in the classroom since his arrival on campus as this past year saw eight of the 16 program’s record their highest multi-year APR ever and seven record their highest single-year APR ever. During the 2009-10 season, Tech saw 94 student-athletes earn Academic all-WAC honors for their work in the classrooms while senior sprinter Antoinette Cobb earned the Honda Inspiration Award for her work both on the track and in the classroom while overcoming a battle with cancer.

Van De Velde came to Tech with impressive credentials, having served as an administrator in intercollegiate athletics for over 20 years.

Van De Velde served as athletics director at Iowa State University and Utah State University and as a senior administrator at the University of Oklahoma, University of Missouri and Kansas State University.

Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State University included an unprecedented five bowl appearances in six years and the highest national AP football poll ranking (9th) in school history. Iowa State’s 2001 average football attendance of 45,172 reached its highest watermark in 18 years. In 2002 and 2003, total football attendance exceeded 300,000; the most at ISU in two decades.

The emergence of the Cyclone football program on a national stage with Van De Velde at the department helm was affirmed in 2002 when Iowa State was chosen to play No. 1 Florida State University in the Eddie Robinson Classic. During Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State, the men’s and women’s basketball teams won Big XII conference championships and participated in the 2001, 2002 and 2005 NCAA basketball tournaments.

Van De Velde, with a track record for generating revenue, increased the total annual operating revenues for the Cyclone athletic department from $19.6 million to $30 million dollars over a five year period. Revenue generated from fundraising, ticket sales, marketing and corporate sponsorships, licensing, radio and television reached all-time highs during his tenure.

In 2005, total fundraising increased from $4.85 million to $8.6 million and the annual giving achieved the highest membership total in its history with more than 5,500 donors participating and a record $4 million dollars in annual contributions. Under Van De Velde’s leadership, over 2,000 new donors joined the National Cyclone Club. Including capital project gifts, scholarship endowments and annual contributions, over $40 million dollars was raised from 2001 through 2005.

Iowa State’s graduation rate of 89 percent for student-athletes who complete their eligibility was second in the Big XII Conference,

and graduation rates for minority student-athletes more than tripled during Van De Velde’s tenure. In 2004-05, Iowa State was one of eight universities nationally to have its football team win a bowl game and have its men and women’s basketball teams participate in the NCAA tournament. The Sporting News in 2001 rated Iowa State as the seventh best athletic program among more than 115 NCAA Division I-A programs nationally. The ranking considered competitive success, graduation rates, fan support and NCAA compliance to determine national rank.

During his time as athletic director at Utah State University, Van De Velde made his mark by hiring Stew Morrill as the head men’s basketball coach. Morrill has guided Utah State to nine straight postseason tournaments and is the winningest coach in the history of the Utah State program.

While serving as the associate athletic director for football operations under head coach Bill Snyder at Kansas State University, Van De Velde was part of the resurrection of Wildcat football in Manhattan as the program became a national power participating in five bowl games. Van De Velde was recipient of the Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Award at the 1997 Holiday Bowl for his contributions to the Kansas State football team when the nationally ranked Wildcats finished with a 10-2 record.

As the senior associate athletic for external affairs at the University of Oklahoma, Van De Velde served as the senior administrative officer for the athletic department and oversaw the areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, media relations and licensing. Van De Velde managed units that generated in excess of $35 million in annual revenues.

Van De Velde directed the Campaign for Sooner Sports, a $100 million dollar capital campaign to fund facility improvements and scholarships. As associate athletic director for development at the University of Missouri, Van De Velde planned and initiated a $50 million dollar capital campaign for facility improvements for the Sports Park at MU. Van De Velde received the General Robert Neiland Award from the National Football Foundation in 2005 for his service and contributions as an athletic director.

Throughout his career in college athletics, Van De Velde has served on numerous NCAA committees including the Championships and Competition Cabinet, the Football Issues Committee, the Financial Aid Committee and the Peer Review Committee for NCAA certification.

He and his wife Debbie, who is a Kansas State alum and who works in the LA Tech College of Business, are the proud parents of 10-year-old daughter, Ashley who is entering the fourth grade.

MARY KAY

HUNGATE

Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate returns for her 26th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech athletics department and has proven to be an integral part in the recent emergence of the Tech teams on the playing fields and in the classroom.

Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, women’s bowling and women’s volleyball, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs.

As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech athletics department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that has been instrumental in garnering a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award - which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service.

The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 the past two years in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation.

Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of coaches. Hungate proved instrumental in the decision by former Tech Kodak All-American and WNBA All-Star Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late-80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon was promoted to head coach in February of 2009 where she led the Lady Techsters to the WAC regular season title and a berth in the WNIT. This past season, she led Tech to the 2010 WAC Tournament title and a return to the NCAA Tournament.

She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and head women’s volleyball coach Matt Sonnichsen. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to two straight winning seasons the past two years - the first in program history - and the program’s first ever WAC victory.

In only his second season at the helm, Sonnichsen, who was a three-time All-American and two-time National Champion during his playing days at UCLA, led the Lady Techsters to 15 wins - the most since 2005 - as well as a program record in WAC victories.

Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report), including ranking No. 1 in the state of Louisiana and the Western Athletic Conference in recent years.

This past year eight of the 16 NCAA sanctioned programs at LA Tech earn their highest multi-year APR score ever while 94 studentathletes earned Academic all-WAC honors.

Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 2006, LA Tech completed its second NCAA Certification cycle and once again was certified without conditions.

Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988.

In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program.

Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/ Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/ Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004.

She currently serves on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. In addition, along with Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde, she represents the athletics department as an ex-officio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council.

Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament.

In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation.

During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.

BUSKirK

Associate Athletics Director/ External Affairs

Eric Buskirk enters his fourth season as the associate athletics director for external affairs at Louisiana Tech University.

Buskirk directs fundraising, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, community relations, licensing, branding, marketing, promotions, video board productions, and the Learfield Sports partnership for Louisiana Tech athletics. Buskirk is a member of the NACMA Board of Directors, and is also an adjunct professor in the College of Business for an advanced level sports management course.

Under Buskirk’s direction, Louisiana Tech’s external affairs have seen a wave of new developments, and national recognition for its accomplishments. LA Tech athletics has reached record totals in all three major revenue generating areas including fundraising, season ticket sales and corporate sponsorships. Buskirk’s external team was named the winner of the 2010 PRISM Awards for department excellence, and has been selected as the NCAA Pack the House Challenge winner three years in a row.

The revenue generating advancements have been supported by the addition of multiple strategic business processes being installed.

The advancements include the creation of LTAC, Team Tech 100 and the LA Tech Kids Club in the fundraising area. Ticketmaster was contracted to implement the full Archtics ticketing package, and a newly formed call center was established to support the tickets sales efforts.

Under Buskirk’s first two years leading the external affairs department, corporate sponsorships tripled with a restructured sponsorship sales approach, and advancements will continue as Learfield Sports was contracted to officially operate LA Tech Sports Properties, officially beginning operations for the 2009 season. Additional upgrades include contracting Rickabaugh Graphics as a part of the rebranding of new logos, and the partnership with CBS sports as the official website provider for LA Tech athletics.

The external affairs advancements have also made way for a new Daktronics state-of-the-art high definition video display scoreboard for the 2009 season. The HD-16 mm video display board will be the largest in the Western Athletic Conference.

Buskirk came to Louisiana Tech after working at UTSA as the assistant athletic director for external affairs. Buskirk oversaw the external affairs areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, merchandising, trademark licensing, branding, website revenue generation, courtesy car program, promotions and spirit squad, along with being the assistant tournament manager for NCAA Championships including the NCAA Final Four.

During his time at UTSA, Buskirk was recognized as one of the “Top 40 under 40” Rising Stars by the San Antonio Business Journal.

Under his direction, UTSA athletics experienced a dramatic increase in its external components, including more than doubling corporate sponsorship revenue in Buskirk’s first 12 months directing the department. Buskirk was instrumental in negotiating with XOS Technologies to be the official website provider of UTSA athletics while also instituting the UTSA athletics re-branding campaign.

Buskirk was heavily involved in the direction of the NCAA Championships that the City of San Antonio hosts. He was the assistant tournament manager and directed marketing efforts for the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Championship, 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball San Antonio Regional, and the 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball South Re-

FOOTBALL

gional. Buskirk was also a key committee member for the 2008 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Final Four hosted by UTSA.

LA TECH

Other additions to the UTSA external department included partnerships with local media giants Clear Channel, FOX TV, and Time Warner Cable. Buskirk also instituted new creative ticket sales strategies including a telemarketing call center that dramatically increased ticket sale efforts.

Prior to his time at UTSA, Buskirk served as the athletics marketing director at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, where he also served as an adjunct professor in the College of Business and Management. The Columbus, Ohio, native served as a market research analyst for the NBA’s Miami Heat before joining the Lynn staff. Buskirk earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management from Ohio State and an MBA in sport management from Florida Atlantic University.

During his time at Ohio State, he also worked as a coach for men’s and women’s tennis at Columbus West High School and as assistant men’s basketball coach at St. Charles Prep in Columbus.

A native of Columbus, Ohio, Buskirk lettered in football, basketball, tennis and golf at West High School, where he was a teammate of Michael Redd, who starred at Ohio State and now plays for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

Away from the office, Buskirk is an avid golfer who is always working to lower his handicap, and enjoys reading books on leadership and motivation. Buskirk’s wife Audrey is the coordinator of marketing and healthy woman advisor for the Northern Louisiana Medical Center.

Associate Athletics Director/ Media Relations Malcolm Butler begins his 12th year in the Louisiana Tech athletics department, his fourth as the associate athletic director in charge of media relations.

A 1994 graduate of the Louisiana Tech journalism department, Butler joined the athletic department in July of 1999 as the assistant athletic media relations director.

Butler was then promoted to the director’s position four months later and served in that capacity until the fall of 2007 when he was promoted to associate athletic director.

The 40-year-old is in charge of media relations for women’s basketball, softball and men’s golf and also serves as the secondary contact for football while overseeing the daily operations for the entire department.

During his time at Louisiana Tech, Butler has been instrumental in promoting numerous high-profile student-athletes such as Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Luke McCown, Minnesota Vikings running back Ryan Moats, and former WNBA Rookie of the Year Cheryl Ford.
