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, Spoon 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
Teresa Weatherspoon spent eight years in the WNBA where she played seven seasons for the New York Liberty and one season with the Los Angeles Sparks. She led New York to three WNBA championship series appearances. She was a five-time WNBA All-Star, a four-time allWNBA second teamer and the two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year. She was named one of the 15 greatest players in WNBA history and inducted into the New York Liberty Ring of Honor in 2011.
WAC Champion
It’s no surprise to anyone that Teresa Weatherspoon has already made her mark on the Lady Techster program in just a few 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, the 2010 WAC Tournament title and the 2011 WAC regular season title. Tech has earned postseason berths in three of four years.
Hall of Famer
All-American. Gold Medalist. WNBA All-Star. WAC Champion Coach. All of it adds up to a spot in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame … which is exactly where Teresa Weatherspoon now resides as she was inducted as part of the Class of 2010.

“ Louisiana Tech has a really great foundation of excellence, and we’re not starting from scratch by any means. We’ve got so many of the ingredients in place. My vision is to continue to progress Louisiana Tech in national prominence, but to turn that national prominence into things that bring benefit to North Louisiana, to our citizens of this state and to all of the students and stakeholders of the university.” -- Dr. Les Guice, University President
Quarter System – Big Advantage for the Student-Athlete Louisiana Tech has a unique advantage of being on the quarter system as opposed to the semester system. The quarter system provides significant advantages for the students: Lighter workload (take 3 classes instead of 5)
Shorter academic sessions (12 weeks instead of 18)
More frequent breaks during and between academic sessions
ore opportunities to withdraw or drop a class and still M remain TOPS eligible

Here you are able to have a personal relationship with other students and other professors in your field of study. You have that one-on-one time if you have problems.

It was difficult to get away from my family, but here the people are very friendly, fun and help you at all, so now I feel at home.

2013-14 SEASON OUTLOOK

Louisiana Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon knows the storied history of the Lady Techster basketball program as well as anybody. After all, Weatherspoon led LA Tech to its last national championship title as a senior in 1988 when the Lady Techsters fought back from a double digit halftime deficit to defeat Auburn 56-54 at the Tacoma Dome in Washington. The former two-time Kodak AllAmerican will lead her beloved Lady Techsters into the inaugural season as a member of Conference USA as the University made the all-sports move on July 1. It will be a new conference. She will have an entirely new coaching staff. However, it will be the same old goals for Weatherspoon and Co. – competing for a league title and postseason play. “It will be a difficult challenge as we have stepped up in the talent level of the teams,” Weatherspoon said. “When you talk about competing in C-USA, we have to have players who can be effective and productive on a nightly basis. We need to make sure we compete on that major level every single night. “The one thing I like the most (about C-USA) is we will be able to LATechSports.com
develop regional rivalries. It is also an opportunity for our fans to follow us on the road. Recruiting is a major plus. Also it helps our kids with their studies as they won’t miss as much class time. It’s nothing but a positive for our entire university. “It has definitely helped us in recruiting. We have been able to get some talented recruits who want to be a part of our program. It’s a stronger conference, and it gives us more exposure for our university and players. That has meant a lot to the recruits. It gets us into homes.” In addition to learning a new league, Weatherspoon, who enters her sixth year at the helm at her alma mater with a record of 87-51, will also be developing a coaching chemistry with an entirely new staff. During the offseason, Weatherspoon added assistant coaches Drew Miller, Mike Ekanem and Tomekia Reed as well as director of basketball operations Ronnie Barney. “The difference has been the input of all of the coaches,” Weatherspoon said about the energy level and enthusiasm of the players during fall workouts. “Everyone has great ideas on how we can take each kid and put them in positions
to be successful. Their experience really is a benefit. The atmosphere is different. The energy is different. The excitement is different. They are young go-getters, and they have some experience and connections that are invaluable. It has been amazing. “The major challenge is getting the kids to buy into the thoughts and ideas of others, especially when you have a brand new staff. So the challenge is for each one of them to make sure the kids trust and believe in them… it is all about buying in. We all make sure that the energy we bring on a daily basis is positive … the kids see it. They don’t see anything splintered. It’s been very positive for them.” The Lady Techsters return seven letterwinners and three starters from last year’s team while welcoming five newcomers to the mix. Their 2013-14 schedule is loaded with 13 postseason teams from a year ago, including six NCAA Tournament teams. The Lady Techsters marquee match-ups include starting the season on the road at South Carolina on Nov. 10 and then traveling to face ACC foe Virginia Nov. 16. Tech then opens its home schedule with #WeAreLATech

career-high 23 points in the season finale against Seattle. The 5-foot-7inch sparkplug also scored 18 points at LSU and 16 points against Top 25 South Carolina. Jackson is one of two true freshmen on the LadyTechster roster after signing with Louisiana Tech following a stellar prep career at Harker Heights High School in Texas. “She is a freshman who doesn’t know she is a freshman,” Weatherspoon said. “She is an amazing ball handler. She can handle it, shoot it and get into the painted area to score. She doesn’t play like a freshman. She has a great deal of confidence in her ability; a great deal of energy. She just needs to understand the college game.” The 5-foot-8-inch guard was a two-time district MVP selection during her time with the Lady Knights and a four-time all-district selection. As a junior she averaged 12.2 points and 4.9 steals per game while helping Harker Heights to a 35-2 record and a second straight Region II-5A quarterfinals appearance. As a senior she averaged 14.8 points and 3.8 assists per game. She was ranked a Top 150 high school recruit by ESPN HoopGurlz, Bret McCormick’s All-Star Girls Report, Dan Olsen’s Collegiate Girls Basketball Report and Brandon Clay’s JumpOffPlus Report.

Following that season she transferred to Hutchinson Community College, leading the program to a 36-2 record and a No. 3 national ranking. She averaged 13.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. She was ranked as one of the Top five players in the junior college ranks by both All-Star Girls Report and Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. Freshman JaQuan Jackson and sophomore Lulu Perry could also see some minutes at the point guard position this year. Perry, who will most likely start at the two-guard for Tech, saw action in 29 games as a true freshman, averaging 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists. “Lulu is a gifted athlete who needed to understand DI basketball and how it works,” Weatherspoon said. “It is not the same as high school; you can’t come in with the same game. She has really turned her game around and become a leader with her actions. She has worked tremendously hard. She is healthy; she wasn’t healthy last year. We definitely need her to score the basketball.” Perry earned Western Athletic Conference All-Freshman team and LSWA all-state honorable mention honors last year after scoring in double figures 16 times, including a

Backcourt Louisiana Tech will have a new general running the point guard position after the departure of last year’s tandem of Courtney Hayes and Janay Borum, who tag-teamed the position last season. It will mark the third consecutive year that Weatherspoon will be grooming a new leader and the odds-on favorite to see the most significant amount of time at point guard this year will be transfer Chrisstasia Walter. “She is an unbelievable athlete,” Weatherspoon said. “Her motor never stops running. She is our most vocal player. She will play the (point guard position) for us. She understands she can be a leader for us at that position. She will put the ball in the basket. She is a slasher who can make everyone around her better. She is a great defender who will guard you for 94 feet. We need her leadership and scoring ability.” Coming out of Arkansas High School where she was a two-time all-state selection, Walter signed at the University of Arkansas. As a freshman she averaged 3.8 points and 2.3 rebounds while seeing action in 26 games. She scored a career-high 26 points in a win over Oral Roberts in the WNIT.

a Nov. 23 afternoon tipoff against LSU, a team that advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament a year ago. Tech also faces Ole Miss Dec. 4 in Oxford and Texas A&M Dec. 28 in College Station.

Tech also hosts two former Sun Belt foes in Arkansas State (Nov. 25) and UALR (Dec. 20). The Lady Techsters open C-USA play Jan. 8 against Southern Miss in Ruston.

In addition to Perry and Jackson, Louisiana Tech has plenty of pieces to the puzzle at the off-guard position, including seniors Jelena Vucinic and Brittney Jefferson, juniors Whitney Frazier and Kanedria Andrews, and sophomore walk-on Ruby Richie. Vucinic is one of the odds-on favorites to start the three-guard spot after making 14 starts as a sophomore. The Academic All-WAC selection averaged 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game last year while seeing action in 28 contests. “Jelena has gotten so much better,” Weatherspoon said. “Her confidence has really grown. We need her to be the shooter we know she can be in order to stretch the defenses and allow our post players to work down low. She has come back this fall with a tremendous amount of energy and a renewed confidence, and she is always in great shape.”

Vucinic struggled with her stroke last season, shooting only 30 percent from the field and 15of-67 from the three-point line. However, she has shown her ability to score points in bunches at times during her college career, including a 17-point, 13-rebound effort in a road contest at San Jose State. She also added 17 points in a two-point win over Central Arkansas and 12-points in a comefrom-behind victory at Idaho as a sophomore. Frazier, who will split time between the three-guard spot and the four position, returns as one of the Lady Techsters most experienced players and the undisputed leader of the squad after starting every game as a sophomore. “She is my leader,” Weatherspoon said. “She definitely has to be the leader of this team. She has done a tremendous job from the summer until today. We need her to be effective in the post area. We will use her more in the guard area as she gives us a bigger lineup when she is at the three. She is one of the most versatile players on the team.” The 6-foot athletic forward earned second team all-WAC honors and third team all-state accolades after averaging 11.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game as a sophomore. Frazier led Tech with 20 double digit scoring games, and came up with some of her biggest plays late in close victories. She scored a season-high 21 points, including a conventional three-point play with 11.9 seconds to play, in a one-point win over Oral Roberts. She also scored 17 points and hit the game-winning three-pointer with less than a second to play in a victory over Idaho. Jefferson came out of Angelina Junior College with a reputation as a scorer, but struggled at times with the transition to the Division I game. However, the No. 2 ranked scorer in the history of Texas prep basketball should take steps forward this year. “Brittany Jefferson is a scorer,”
Weatherspoon said. “I think the one thing we need from her is to score. She has gotten a lot better defensively. She has taken on the challenges of what we asked her to work on during the summer. I think last year was a confidence issue. She now understands how this level of basketball works.” During her first season in a Lady Techster uniform, Jefferson averaged 4.1 points and 2.2 rebounds per game off the bench, seeing action in 17 contests. She shot 31 percent from the field and 40 percent from the three-point line while scoring a season-high 10 points in a win over UTSA in the WAC Tournament quarterfinals. Jefferson also Andrews came to Ruston two years ago with a reputation as a defensive stopper and has proven that true at times throughout her collegiate career. In order for the El Dorado native to take the next step, she #WeAreLATech

has to become more of a consistent threat offensively for the Lady Techsters. “Kanedria is our best defender,” Weatherspoon said. “She is going to make a great coach one day as she is always coaching the younger players on the side during practice. She will defend the best offensive players for the other teams; however, we need Kanedria to score some for us too. She is a very, very smart basketball player.” As a sophomore Andrews saw action in 28 games, averaging 1.4 points and 1.5 rebounds per contest while leading the team with a 75 percent mark at the free throw line. While normally guarding the best perimeter player on the opposing team, she scored a career-high 10 points and grabbed five rebounds in a win over UT Arlington. Andrews also pulled down a career-high seven rebounds in a loss to Utah State @LATechWBB

Frontcourt
Louisiana Tech boasts more size on its roster than it has had in some time as the Lady Techsters added 6-foot-4-inch freshman Kevione Moten and 6-foot-3 transfer Tyjae’ Chenevert to a front line that already included 6-foot-2 Veanca Hall and Savanna Langston. At 6-foot, Whitney Frazier (see backcourt) is the smallest of the frontline players but she is also the most versatile. Frazier will be utilized at both the three and four positions by Weatherspoon and has the skillset and athleticism to guard almost any position. With the exception of Frazier, Langston is the most experienced post player that LA Tech possesses as the junior has made five starts and seen action in 41 games during her first two seasons in a Lady Techster uniform. “We need Savanna to be more confident in herself,” Weatherspoon said. “That’s the most important thing as she looks to move forward. She will be very good for us at the high post because of her vision, and her ability to pass the basketball and

last season. Richie transferred back home to Louisiana Tech after playing one year at Ouachita Baptist following a stellar high school career at Calvary Baptist and Cedar Creek. “She is our hometown girl,” Weatherspoon said. “She is a hard-nosed worker. Ruby has an amazing body frame. She is super strong. She works hard to understand what is asked of her every day. She can shoot the ball, and she has great strength to score with contact. She will be asked to do the same as everyone else.” During her high school career, Richie was a four-time all-district selection and two-time all-state honoree while also earning accolades in the classroom as a twotime academic all-state selection. Richie was named the co-MVP of District 2-1A as a senior at Cedar Creek and played for the East team in the Louisiana All-Star game. She also lettered in golf, softball and track and field.

shoot. It’s important for us that Savanna is productive this year.” Langston, who is a two-time academic all-conference selection, hasn’t seen major minutes during her first two years. However, she has shown the ability to score from the perimeter and stretch the opposing team’s front line defensively. The El Dorado native averaged 2.0 points and 1.7 rebounds last year while scoring a career-high six points in a home win over San Jose State. Hall saw little action as a true freshman for Tech but has already caught the eye of Weatherspoon this fall. “Veanca has turned her entire game around,” Weatherspoon said. “I think she understands her freshman year was a difficult one. She has a better understanding of what Division I basketball is about; the physicality. She has added some things to her game that will make her very productive for us. It will be all up to Veanca on how much time she wants to play.” As a rookie, Hall played in 19 games averaging 1.0 points and 0.7 LATechSports.com
rebounds per contest. She shot 38 percent from the field for the Lady Techsters and scored a seasonhigh four points and grabbed four rebounds in a road loss at UALR. However, the Monroe, La. native has an opportunity to log some major minutes as a sophomore. Chenevert is a big, strong bodied post player that signed with LA Tech after splitting her two years of junior college basketball between Diablo Valley JC and State Fair Community College. “She reminds me some of Venus Lacy with her frame and ability to control the painted area,” Weatherspoon said. “We need her to score for us. She has some areas she needs to work on, but she has the ability to be a very good post player in Conference USA.” Chenevert averaged 6.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game as a sophomore at Diablo Valley where she played in 27 games, making 18 starts. She was ranked as the 36th best junior college player in the country and the 7th best at the power forward position by Dan
Olsen’s Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. Moten will be the tallest Lady Techster since 6-foot-6-inch Margaret Deciman lettered for the program in 2005-06. Although Weatherspoon feels that she will be able to contribute immediately on the defensive end, she still has to work on developing her offensive game. “Kevione’s upside is unbelievable,” Weatherspoon said. “At 6-foot-4 she can really run the floor. She rebounds well. She has a strong lower frame, and we are working on getting her upper body stronger so she can finish at the rim. She is learning post moves. She is a good defender and great shot blocker. She will give our perimeter defenders confidence knowing we have someone in the painted area defending the rim.” Moten, who moved to Monroe from New Orleans after Hurricane Gustav in 2008, lettered the past four years at Ouachita High School in Monroe. As a senior she led the Lady Lions to a 30-3 record, the District 2-5A title and the third round of the state playoffs. She averaged 16.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.6 blocks as a senior while earning numerous accolades, including first team all-state and the District 2-5A MVP.

Head Coach
58
Not too many women’s basketball programs can boast a head coach that won a national title as a player. Not too many programs lay claim to a head coach that played professionally in the WNBA. And even fewer programs have a head coach that won an Olympic gold medal. However, Louisiana Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon has done all three ... and more. Weatherspoon, entering her sixth year at her alma mater, is one of the marquee faces and names in the women’s game, and rightly so. From her prep days at West Sabine High School to her national championship run at Louisiana Tech to her all-star career in the WNBA, the four-time Hall of Famer has never settled for second best ... and her resume proves it. The legendary point guard, who became the face of the WNBA for almost a decade, is already a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame (1996), the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (2010), the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame (2010) and the New York Liberty Ring of Honor (2011). Weatherspoon has succeeded on every level as a player and is now following in the legendary footsteps of two other Hall of Famers in Leon Barmore and Sonja Hogg. After returning to her alma mater as the associate head coach in 2008, Weatherspoon took over the reins of the program in February of 2009. Since then, she has led the program to three postseason appearances, including back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2011. A two-time all-American during her playing days at LA Tech, Weatherspoon has recorded an overall record of 87-51 as head coach - 50-21 in conference play. During her first full season as head coach in 2009-10, she led Tech to a 23-9 record, the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Tournament title and the programs 26th appearance in the NCAA Tournament ... the first since 2006. Tech also took ACC champion and 9th-ranked Florida State down to the wire before falling on the Seminoles home floor in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. 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. She followed that up with an im-

pressive 2010-11 that saw LA Tech win 24 games, including a 15-point victory over Georgia, capture the WAC regular season title, earn votes in the AP and ESPN Top 25 polls and earn the program’s 27th appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Tech also posted the program’s 1,000th victory with a win over Nevada in the WAC Tournament semifinals. Weatherspoon has also proven to be one of the top teachers of the game as she molded WAC Players of the Year Shanavia Dowdell and Adrienne Johnson into two of the nation’s premier players as both earned honorable mention All-American honors and were selected in the WNBA Draft following their senior seasons. 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 season title and a WNIT appearance. 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’s career accomplishments tell the story of one of the top players to ever play the game collegiately, internationally and professionally. 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 All-American (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 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). She also earned distinction in USA Basketball circles, leading the US to the gold medal in the 1988 Olympics and the bronze medal in the 1992 Olympics. She also earned gold medals in the 1986 World Championships, the 1986 Goodwill Games and the 1987 World University Games. Weatherspoon spent 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 fivetime WNBA All-Star, a four-time allWNBA second teamer and the twotime 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. This past summer, she was named one of the 15 greatest players 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. Weatherspoon earned her bachelor’s degree from Louisiana Tech.

He will be responsible for directing the Lady Techster defensive schemes as well as post player development. “Drew is an amazing guy,” Weatherspoon said. “He will be our defensive coordinator and take that responsibility off my hands. He will implement all of our defensive schemes, and I think it is important that we utilize a variety of defenses. He started coaching on the men’s side and then fell in love with the women’s game. All of his teams have always been consist defensively so obviously his players have bought into his schemes. He also believes in getting up and down the floor and being active defensively. “He has great experience. He has already been in the seat that I currently sit in. He understands what I need as a head coach. He has a positive approach. I like people with strong skin and that are confident. He understands what is important and believes in what he teaches.” Miller has served in a number of capacities during his high school and college coaching career, from the director of basketball operations to assistant coach to a pair of stints as head coach, including most recently at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas. During his five-year run as the head men’s coach at Division III Schreiner of the American Southwest Conference he led the Mountaineers to unprecedented success on and off the floor, including the record-setting 2011-12 campaign as SU notched their first-ever ASC playoff berth and program best record of 13-12 (since Schreiner joined Division III in 1999). He also turned around the program academically as he inherited a 2.25 team grade point average and two honor roll student athletes. By the time he left the program, the team boasted a 2.99 grade point average which included 16 honor roll student athletes. Miller has over 10 years of NCAA Division III coaching experience as he has made coaching stops at Hiram College (Hiram, Ohio), Southwestern University (Georgetown, Texas), and Trinity University (San Antonio, Texas).

As defensive coordinator, we will coach our team with passion and compassion, and we will play smart, tough, and with discipline.” Miller graduated in 1995 from Kenyon College (Gambier, Ohio) with a bachelor of arts in psychology where he was a four-year starter on both the basketball and baseball teams. He was an all-tournament team guard on Kenyon’s 1994 North Coast Athletic Conference championship team and 1995 Sweet Sixteen team.

He did a tremendous job on the professional level with both the San Antonio Silver Stars and San Antonio Spurs. “The thing I liked the most about Mike is his ability to develop players; his way of teaching and his positive approach.

She will work with all aspects of coaching. Her experience is second to none. “She loves what she does. She understands our history. She loves what our university is about. It is great to have her as part of our program. She brings experience, a vision, and a passion for our kids.

Follow me on Twitter: “It has been a pleasure having Ronnie on board with us,” Weatherspoon said. “He is a guy who understands our history and where we are trying to go. He has been a coach, and he understands his new position goes in a different direction than coaching. He is willing to make the sacrifice, knowing he can’t coach the kids yet knowing what he does is so very important. He is a major part of our success. He is close with Mike (Ekanem) and Drew (Miller) so there is a major connection that keeps the office atmosphere close-knit. He is very thorough. He is a perfectionist.” Barney’s primary responsibilities will include supervising all social media aspects of the Lady Techster program including digital media, handling all video components, and overseeing team travel and all the day-to-day administrative duties. “Working for Coach “Spoon” is nothing less than a blessing,” Barney said. “She has everything invested in this program and community, and she delivers that message with such excitement and enthusiasm. This program has a ton of tradition and history filled with success and we are all here with the same mentality that the tradition must continue. I am beyond blessed and honored to be a member of the Lady Techster’s family.” The San Antonio native brings a coaching background to the program as he has experience on the high school level as well as in the AAU basketball circles. Barney was an integral part of the Sophia Young Elite AAU program sponsored by WNBA all-star Sophia Young and a Nike affiliate where he spent the majority of two years as an assistant coach before taking over as the director and head coach in May.

2012-13 Season in Review Tulane 66, LA Tech 59 Nov. 9, 2012 NEW ORLEANS, La. - Tyria Snow scored 18 points and Olivia Grayson hit five free throws down the stretch as Tulane held off a Louisiana Tech rally to defeat the Lady Techsters 66-59 Friday night at Devlin Fieldhouse. Tech (0-1) trailed by as many as 14 points in the second half before fighting back to cut the deficit to 59-57 with just under two minutes to play in the game. However, the Green Wave hit 7-of-8 free throws and the Lady Techsters came up empty on some offensive possessions as Tulane won for only the second time in 10 meetings between the two programs. Tulane jumped out to an early lead in the first half and pushed it to 30-19 with five minutes to play before LA Tech made a run highlighted by a highlight reel three-point play on a Lulu Perry assist to Tavasha Anderson. The deficit remained at five at 32-27 before Tulane ended the half on a 9-2 run to take a 4129 lead into the halftime locker room. Tech shot only 36 percent from the field in the first half and committed 14 turnovers while the Green Wave hit 46 percent and committed only seven. Early in the second half Tulane pushed the lead out to 45-31 on a Tiffany Dale layup with 19:18 to play before Whitney Frazier scored six points in a 12-3 run that saw the Lady Techsters close the gap to 48-43 with 14:44 to play. Tulane pushed the advantage out to double figures again at 57-45 with 8:34 to play on a free throw by Jamie Kaplan, but a pair of

Brittney Jefferson free throws ignited a 12-2 run over the next six plus minutes as a Frazier layup with 1:59 to play closed the deficit to 59-57. However, Tech went cold down the stretch as an Anderson jumper off the glass with 27 second to play was the only scoring for the Lady Techsters. Anderson led Tech with 15 points while Brittany Lewis scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds and Frazier scored 10 points and grabbed eight boards. For the game, Tech shot 40 percent (23-58) from the field, 0-of-10 from the three-point line and 13-of-16 from the free throw line while Tulane shot 42 percent (22-53) from the field, 4-of12 from the three-point line and 18-of-26 from the free throw line.
South Carolina 82, LA Tech 58 Nov. 12, 2012 Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, La. RUSTON - Ashley Bruner scored 17 points to lead five players in double figures as South Carolina muscled its way past Louisiana Tech 82-58 Monday night before 1,525 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center. The Gamecocks (2-0) shot 49 percent from the field, including 57 percent in the final stanza, and outrebounded the Lady Techsters 43-26 as USC scored 38 points in the paint in the victory. “We asked our kids to box out and rebound the basketball with every ounce of energy,” Weatherspoon said. “We had to put a body on people. We didn’t do that very well. We didn’t go down and execute offensively. We
weren’t very sure of ourselves in any facet of the game. It’s disappointing. I am disappointed in the way we competed and represented ourselves tonight.” Behind the outside shooting of senior guard Ieasia Walker who hit a trio of threepointers in the first half, South Carolina built an early double digit lead at 20-10 and eventually pushed it out to 33-14 on a free throw by Aleighsa Welch at the 7:11 mark of the opening 20 minutes of play. However, the Lady Techsters closed the half on a 13-7 run behind four points from freshman guard Lulu Perry, who finished the night with a career-high 16 points. USC led 40-27 at the break. Perry opened the second half with a threepointer to cut the deficit to 40-30 before USC pushed the advantage back out to 53-35 behind the strong inside play of Bruner, Welch and Tiffany Mitchell - who combined to score 44 points in the game. Perry and Jasmine Bryant helped Tech close the gap to 57-46 with 7:58 to play in the game. However, Tech couldn’t slow down USC in the paint as the Gamecocks pulled away for the 24-point victory. “If you never get down on defense ... you have to meet them early and not allow them to plant themselves and turn and score. These are the things we worked on the last few days. I don’t know if it was jitters or if we were afraid to compete. It didn’t translate over. We know they are a good team and a well-coached team, but we didn’t play like we are capable.” Although the Lady Techsters took much better care of the basketball committing only 12 turnovers as compared to 22 in its season opener against Tulane, LA Tech surrendered 16 offensive rebounds and was outscored 22-4 on second chance points. In addition to Perry’s impressive performance, Bryant and Brittany Lewis each added 10 points while Tavasha Anderson scored nine. “I thought Lulu and Jasmine came to play,” Weatherspoon said. “They enjoyed the physicality of the game. We have other kids who can do it but they have to do it and do it on a consistent basis. We can’t just do it in practice. We have to go back to the drawing board. We know that there are going to be bumps and bruises this year. “It’s about growing up and learning from all of these mistakes we are making. We don’t want to lose confidence. It’s a matter of putting it out there night in and night out. We will find a way to get it done.” Tech shot 39 percent (20-51) from the field, 3-of-11 from the three-point line and 15-of24 from the free throw line.

Louisiana Tech built a 15-point second half lead and then had to withstand a Central Arkansas rally as the Lady Techsters defeated the Sugar Bears 65-63 before 2,101 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Tuesday night. UCA (3-1) used a 16-0 run midway through the second half to take its first lead of the game at 43-42 on a Jameka Watkins jumper with 9:57 to play. The Sugar Bears led 60-57 with under two minutes to play but four straight free throws and a Kelia Shelton leaner off the glass in the lane gave Tech a 63-60 advantage with 39 seconds remaining. “This was a very good basketball team. They are well coached and disciplined,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “There are so many things we needed to correct in the first half. The effort wasn’t there. It was like we were running in mud. The second half got worse. We allowed them to feel good about themselves. It all comes down to defending people. “Right now it’s a mentality with our kids. We don’t have the mentality that we are going to get it done for 40 minutes. There is no time to be tired. We must be ready to perform every day. I take my hat off to UCA.” However, Tracey Parsons answered immediately with a three-pointer out of the right
corner with 31 seconds left to tie the game at 63-63. Tech held the basketball for the last shot and Brittany Lewis rebounded a miss by Shelton and was fouled with 6.1 seconds to play, sending the senior forward to the free throw line where she hit the first one to give the Lady Techsters a 64-63 lead. UCA rebounded Lewis’ miss on the second and called a timeout with 3.1 seconds remaining to set up a play. However, Lewis intercepted the inbound pass at midcourt and was fouled, where she hit 1 of 2 free throws with 1.2 seconds remaining to give Tech the 65-63 win. The Lady Techsters (1-3) came out of the gates strong, scoring the first 11 points of the game before Central Arkansas finally got on the scoreboard with 14:54 to play in the half on a jumper by Desiree Rogers. The Tech advantage stayed in double figures throughout the majority of the first half as a Brittney Jefferson free throw with 5:05 to play pushed it out to 28-14. Tech shot 45 percent (13-29) from the field in the first half and turned 10 UCA turnovers into 18 points as the Lady Techsters led 35-23 at the halftime break. The Lady Techsters came out in the second half and when Whitney Frazier hit a layup with 15:39 to play, Tech led 42-27 and seemed to have all of the momentum. However, Tech went cold over the next six minutes as UCA used a 16-0 run to take its first lead of the game at 43-42. During the run, Tech committed six turnovers and was 0-for-7 from the field. “It’s a little difficult for us right now,” Weatherspoon said. “Our playmakers are having some issues with getting people involved. The problems will be corrected, and they will be fine. Kelia is willing to do whatever it takes to help this team. We know our two point guards will step up and get the job done and we can get Kelia back to her rightful position.” The two teams then exchanged the lead eight times and were tied five times down the stretch before Tech came up with the big plays down the stretch to win. Junior guard Jelena Vucinc led Tech with a season-high 17 points, including a pair of huge three-pointers in the final eight minutes of play. Lewis added 14 points, while Whitney Frazier scored 13 points and Shelton added 12 points. “We are trying to get Jelena open jumpers,” Weatherspoon saiid. “It’s what she does best. When she plants her feet, she can shoot. When she has an open jumper, we feel good about her shooting the basketball.” UCA was led by Megan Herbert with 24 points and 13 rebounds.

two dozen Lady Techster turnovers into a victory as State prevailed 57-55 before 1,420 fans at Humphrey Coliseum. Tech (0-3) used it best 20 minutes of the season to build a 33-23 halftime lead but then faltered over the final half as the Lady Techsters committed 23 turnovers, including five in the final five minutes of play in a tight game. After a Brittany Lewis layup with 1:24 to play tied the game at 55-55, Mississippi State guard Darriel Gaynor hit the eventual game-winner with the shot clock about to expire as her 17-footer over the outstretched arms of Jelena Vucinic gave the Bulldogs a two-point advantage with 55 seconds to play. On Tech’s ensuing possession, sophomore guard Kelia Shelton - playing in her first game at Tech - was whistled for a charge, giving the ball back to Miss State. Tech had one final chance but Lewis’ off-balance 25-footer was off the mark as the horn sounded. Tech outshot Mississippi State 42 percent to 36 percent, outrebounded the Bulldogs 44-33 and took five more free throws, but the Bulldogs outscored the Lady Techsters 20-7 on points off of turnovers. The second half collapse ruined what was a solid opening 20 minutes of play for the Lady Techsters. Tech, who was without the services of its second leading scorer Lulu Perry, shot 50 percent from the field and outrebounded State 26-15 in the first half in building a 33-22 halftime lead. Tech led for the majority of the first half. After a Gaynor three-pointer with 4:16 to play in the stanza brought State to within 25-23, the Lady Techsters used an 8-0 run to close the half. Tech pushed the advantage out to 37-25 early in the second half before MSU guard Kendra Grant got hot, scoring 14 of her game-high 20 points after the break. Grant’s layup with

rebounding the SEC foe 45-40. After opening the game by scoring the first seven points, the Lady Techsters never trailed but were unable to put the Rebels away and had to withstand a pair of three-point attempts by Ole Miss in the final five seconds of the contest. “This was a great win for our young team to play against such a tough team,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “The thing that impressed me the most was we didn’t allow them to ever take the lead. Our kids were resilient and fought hard. I can’t say but great things about what we did tonight. We still have a lot of growing to do. We made mistakes, but we fought to the end.” Behind the outside shooting of Lulu Perry and Frazier, who made her first career start at the three guard spot, and the strong inside play of Jasmine Bryant, who made her first Division I start, and Brittany Lewis, the Lady Techsters were able to build as much as an 11-point lead at 26-15 with 4:51 to play in the opening half. Frazier scored 10 of her game-high 15 points in the opening half, and ended the night by hitting 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. She entered the game 0-of-3 from the three-point line this year. “This was the first time she has been out there at the three,” Weatherspoon said. “She played a lot at the three. She was guarding ones, twos and threes. She was doing what we asked of her.” However, Ole Miss point guard Valencia McFarland harassed the Tech guards all night long and time after time made plays that kept the Rebels alive. After Perry’s three gave Tech the 11-point advantage, McFarland recorded two of three Ole Miss’ steals in a 30 second span that ignited a 7-0 run as the lead was closed to 26-22 with 3:22 to play. McFarland recorded eight of the Rebels 17 steals on the night as Ole Miss outscored Tech 18-2 on fast break points. “It hurts us tremendously to turn the ball over and not get a shot,” Weatherspoon said. “We want to get a shot every possession. Every time we turned it over, it seemed like they went on a fast break and scored. We cannot turn the ball over or we make the game very difficult on ourselves.” Tech led 30-22 at the half and after a Perry jumper to begin the second half pushed the advantage out to double figures again, McFarland ignited an 11-2 run with a steal and conventional three-point play. Amber Singletary’s layup with 15:50 to play in the game made the score 34-33 LA Tech. Bryant then went to work for LA Tech, scoring six points over the next five minutes as Tech pushed the lead back out to 47-37 on a three-pointer by Frazier at the 10 minutes mark of the final stanza. Bryant ended the game with career highs in points with 14, rebounds with seven and assists with four. “She was big,” Weatherspoon said. “The great thing was we asked Jasmine to be aggressive to the rim. She possesses great strength and power, and she did exactly what we asked of her. She got the time. Tonight was a great game for her.” Ole Miss would cut it to 57-54 on a layup

#25 Texas A&M 77, LA Tech 26 Dec. 4, 2012 Reed Arena in College Station, Texas No. 25 Texas A&M hit a season-high 11 three-pointers and held Louisiana Tech to only one first half field goal as the Aggies defeated the Lady Techsters 77-26 Tuesday night before 4,248 fans at Reed Arena. The Aggies (4-3) opened the game on a 13-0 run as Tech was held scoreless until Courtney Hayes layup at the 12:30 mark of the first half put the Lady Techsters on the scoreboard. It would be the Lady Techsters only made field goal of the opening half as Tech was only 1-of-19 from the field at the break. Following Hayes’ layup, A&M scored 14 straight over the next six minutes to push the advantage out to 27-2 with less than seven minutes to play. Tavasha Anderson hit two free throws and Brittney Jefferson and Hayes each made one as Tech trailed 43-6 at the break. Texas A&M, whose three losses came to No. 2 Connecticut, No. 6 Louisville and No. 7 Penn State, entered the game shooting only 28 percent from the three-point line but hit 6-of-7 in the first half and 11 of its first 12 in the game. Peyton Little, who led the Aggies with 18 points, triggered the three-point barrage in the first half by hitting 4-of-4 before Courtney Williams matched her in the second half by hitting all four of her three-point attempts. Tech played better in the second half as A&M outscored the Lady Techsters 34-20. After committing 16 turnovers in the opening half, LA Tech cut that down to six after intermission. On the night Tech was outscored 23-1 on points off of turnovers. After seeing her team fall behind early, head coach Teresa Weatherspoon substituted freely as the Tech bench outscored its starters 18-8 and outrebounded them 20-12. Kelia Shelton led Tech with seven points and eight rebounds. For the game, Tech shot 17 percent (954), 2-of-17 from the three-point line and 6-of12 from the free throw line while Texas A&M shot 42 percent (30-71) from the field, 11-of-15 three-pointers and 6-of-9 free throws. A&M outrebounded Tech 49-42.
Teresa Weatherspoon’s team hit only 13-of-52 field goals against the Scarlet Knights as Rutgers pulled away down the stretch for the win. “We have to knock down open shots,” Weatherspoon said. “We got a lot of good looks against a very good defensive team but we simply didn’t make them. It was tough for those kids to walk away without a win. One thing I try to them is `Don’t play for me. Play for each other.’ “They always say `We want to win for you’ but it’s all about playing for each other. Let’s win for each other. It’s not about me, it’s about us. And when they get out of that, we’re going be pretty good. Our kids walked away knowing there’s a lot of work to be done and all those little things that have to be corrected are correctable. That’s the greatest part about it.” Tech fell behind early as Rutgers (5-3) scored the first seven points of the game before Janay Borum hit a 16-footer with 16:32 to play in the first half to get the Lady Techsters on the scoreboard. The Scarlet Knights extended the lead to double digits at 13-3 before Tech forward Brittany Lewis recorded back-to-back buckets to cut it to 13-7 with 12:29 to play. The Lady Techsters then went more than six minutes with only one field goal as Rutgers pushed the advantage to 23-9 and eventually out to 34-14 with 1:45 to play before the half. However, Lulu Perry and Kelia Shelton combined to score seven straight points as Tech trimmed the deficit to 36-22 at the break. Early in the second half, Tech scored eight of the first 12 points as a baseline jumper by Whitney Frazier with 16:48 to play trimmed the deficit to 40-30. However, the momentum was short-lived as Rutgers netted eight straight points to push the advantage back to 18.

However, despite scoring a career-high 18 points, Perry didn’t receive the birthday present she and her Lady Techster teammates were hoping for as LSU muscled past LA Tech 77-55 before 2,718 fans at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. With the loss, Tech fell to 4-6 on the season as the Lady Techsters are done with their non-conference schedule until opening up Western Athletic Conference play Dec. 29 at Denver.

For the second straight game, Whitney Frazier came through in the clutch. Two nights after hitting the game winning free throws in the final minute against McNeese State, the sophomore forward completed a conventional three-point play with 11.2 seconds to play to lift Louisiana Tech to a 61-59 win over Oral Roberts Friday night at the Thomas Assembly Center. Trailing 59-58, Tech with less than a minute to play, Tech (4-5) dodged a pair of bullets as ORU missed a pair of shots as guard Janay Borum pulled down the defensive rebound. Instead of calling a timeout to set up a final play, head coach Teresa Weatherspoon opted to let her young team take its best shot. Borum misfired on a 17-footer but Frazier pulled down the offensive rebound and scored off the glass while drawing a foul on Golden Eagle forward Savanna Buck. Frazier capped a 21-point, 6-rebound performance with the free throw to give Tech a two-point advantage. ORU (3-5) had one final chance but Taylor Copper’s three-pointer was off the mark as Tech won for the fourth time this year by three points or less. The game didn’t start well for the Lady Techsters as Jaci Bigham and Kevi Luper combined to help the Golden Eagles jump out to a 14-4 advantage with 14:43 to play in the opening period. However, that’s when the Lady Techsters put it into a different gear as Tech used a 32-10 run over the next eight minutes to grab a 36-24 advantage. Tech led 38-32 at the half as Frazier, Brittany Lewis and Kelia Shelton each had nine points as the Lady Techsters shot 46 percent in the opening half. The biggest story of the night for Tech was

Sophomore guard Kelia Shelton scored a career-high 23 points and Louisiana Tech held McNeese State without a field goal over the final six minutes as the Lady Techsters defeated the Cowgirls 52-50 before 2,205 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Wednesday night. McNeese State (4-4) took a 46-41 lead on a layup by Caitlyn Baggett with 5:58 to play, but the LA Tech defense then stiffened, holding the Cowgirls to 0-for-9 shooting the rest of the way as the Lady Techsters (3-5) won for the 18th time in the 23-game series. Shelton, playing in only her fifth game of the year, hit 9-of-17 field goals, including 3-of7 three-pointers, and connected on 2-of-4 free throws to help LA Tech overcome 26 turnovers in the victory. The Rock Hill, South Carolina native’s three-pointer with 3:20 to play in the game tied the score at 48-48 and then her spinning offbalance layup with less than two minutes to play tied the game again at 50-50. After neither team could score in their next two possessions, sophomore forward Whitney Frazier hit a pair of free throws with 39 seconds to play to give LA Tech the lead. Following a miss by McNeese State guard Caitlyn Baggett with 23 seconds to play, the Cowgirls were forced to foul, sending freshman Lulu Perry to the free throw line. However, Perry missed both free throws and McNeese State had three shots in the final five seconds but the Cowgirls couldn’t get one to fall as Tech won for the 12th straight time in Ruston against McNeese State. The Lady Techsters were victorious despite committing 26 turnovers which led to McNeese State outscoring Tech 15-2 in points off of turnovers. Tech shot 39 percent (20-51) from the field while holding McNeese State to only 27 percent (18-66) and while outrebounding the Cowgirls 46-38.

Tech then used an 8-0 run to push the lead back out to 50-41 on a Frazier layup at the 14:44 mark.

zero signs of carrying over any momentum from those two victories as the Lady Techsters missed on 14 of their first 16 shots to open the game. “Unfortunately, we didn’t run the offense correctly, we missed easy shots and we turned the ball over,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “Regardless of how big they are, we still have to do the fundamental things ... that is to put a body on people and to turn and push. If you do those things, good things can happen for you. We didn’t do that.” Tech built itself a deep hole as a jumper by LSU freshman forward Derreyal Youngblood gave the Lady Tigers a 21-4 advantage at the midway mark of the first half. Youngblood combined with her front court teammates of Teresa Plaisance, Shanece McKinney and Sheila Boykin to dominate down low all day long as LSU outscored Tech 44-20 in the paint. Down 17 points, Tech showed signs of life over the final 10 minutes of the opening half as Perry scored 10 points during a 22-13 run that closed the half as the Lady Techsters pulled to within 34-26 at the halftime intermission. “It was a good day for Lulu,” Weatherspoon said. “We still want her to work on her shot selection. She was aggressive and that is what I liked the most today. She got into her mid-range game and got to the free throw line.” However, with a chance to pull closer to start the second half. Tech came out of the locker room slow once again, committing five turnovers in the first five minutes of the second half. LSU capitalized on Tech’s miscues, as a Plaisance jumper at the 14:01 mark of the second period pushed the Lady Techsters lead out to 52-32. Down 60-38 with less than eight minutes to play, Tech tried to mount one last run as Perry scored five points during a 7-0 run as the deficit was trimmed to 60-45. However, the Lady Tigers continued to find success inside as they pulled away for the victory. Tech shot only 33 percent (20-61) for the game, including only 3-of-13 from the threepoint line and only 12-of-24 from the free throw line. LSU shot 44 percent (27-61) from the field while hitting 23-of-36 free throws. Both teams committed too many turnovers with Tech registering 21 and LSU 19 but the Lady Tigers outscored Tech 23-9 on points off of turnovers.

Kelia Shelton scored a career-high 26 points and Whitney Frazier added a double double to lead Louisiana Tech to an 82-77 comefrom-behind double overtime win over Denver Saturday at Hamilton Gymnasium. Tech (5-6, 1-0 WAC) trailed by as many as 13 points in the game and found itself down six with just over a minute to play in regulation before Shelton hit a pair of three-pointers, including the game-tying one with only 14 seconds to play - sending the game into overtime.

The Lady Techsters trailed 72-70 in the waning moments of the first extra period when Frazier - who had missed five of her first seven free throws in the game - stepped to the line and calmly sank two with 14 seconds to play, sending the game into the second overtime. Although neither team shot the ball well from the field in the overtimes, Tech hit 9-of-12 free throws including 4-of-4 by freshman guard Lulu Perry in the final 30 seconds of the game to seal the victory. The win is Tech’s first road victory of the season. “It was a gusty, gutsy win,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “Our kids battled and fought through it all. I like that. They found a way to make some adjustments on their own. Our kids just fought. All the minutes Whitney Frazier and Kelia Shelton played ... that’s a lot of minutes especially at this altitude. All of our kids competed and we found a way to win.” Tech took an early 6-3 lead three minutes into the game before Denver (5-7, 0-1) used an 18-2 run over a seven minute period to take a 21-8 advantage as Quincey Noonan converted a three-point play with 10:50 to play in the opening half. Brittany Lewis, who finished the game with 17 points and seven rebounds, finally stopped the run as her layup with 9:36 to play ignited a 6-0 run by the Lady Techsters as the deficit was trimmed to 21-14. The lead stayed around double digits as DU led 31-19 with 1:23 to play in the opening half before Lewis and Shelton both hit shots in the final minute to cut the Pioneers lead to 3123 at the break. Tech shot only 35 percent (1029) from the field in the first half while Denver shot 42 percent (13-31) and outrebounded the Lady Techsters 22-16. “We were pretty lucky to only be down by eight at the half,” Weatherspoon said. “We were happy to be where we were considering how we played. Those first five minutes of second half were so important for us to get going offensively and get back defensively. Our kids made adjustments and it worked.” The second half was a different story for LA Tech offensively, as the Lady Techster hit 52 percent (16-31), including 5-of-6 from the threepoint line. Shelton and Frazier, who combined to score only eight points in the first half, came to life in the second half as they scored 34 points while shooting 10 of 15 from the field. After slowly whittling down the DU lead, Tech tied the game at 42-42 with 13:47 to play when Shelton hit the first of her four threepointers. Three minutes later, Frazier gave the Lady Techsters their first lead since the opening minutes when she hit a layup with 10:08 to play to make the score 48-46. Denver answered with a 9-0 run in less than 60 seconds as the Pioneers led 53-46 with 9:11 to play. Up 60-52 with less than five minutes to play, Denver saw Tech answer as Kanedria Andrews scored four straight points and Shelton hit a jumper to cut the deficit to two points. After Frazier hit one of two free throws with two minutes to play, Denver guard Emiko Smith buried what appeared to be a dagger with a three-pointer with 1:31 to play to give
the Pioneers a 65-59 advantage. However, Janay Borum hit two free throws with 1:19 to play and following a DU turnover, Shelton drilled a three-pointer with 1:14 to play to make the score 65-64. Smith hit two free throws to put the score to 67-64 and DU had an opportunity to seal away the win, but Tech forced a defensive stop and then Shelton hit a three-pointer from the top of the key to tie the game and send it into overtime. “She just trusted and believed in herself,” Weatherspoon said. “It wasn’t a wide open shot ... there was a person in her face. She trusted and believed in herself. It’s that never say die attitude this team has.” For the game, Tech shot 41 percent (29-71) from the field, including 5-of-9 from the threepoint line and 19-of-27 from the free throw line. Denver hit only 31 percent (25-81) of its field goals, including 5-of-16 from beyond the arc. The Pioneers were nearly flawless at the charity stripe, hitting 22-of-26. Lulu Perry added 11 points for Tech while Borum scored six points, grabbed seven rebounds and recorded seven assists. Maiya Michel and Noonan led Denver with 15 points and 11 rebounds each. “This was just a hard fought basketball game,” Weatherspoon said. “I admire Denver. They are well coached and those kids left it all on the court. There won’t be too many teams that come in here and win in league play.” Tech improved to 20-13 all-time in overtime games, including a current streak of five straight wins.

The Lady Techsters (7-7, 3-1 WAC) scored the first nine points of the game, built as much as an 18-point first half lead and never looked back in defeating the Bobcats (6-9, 0-5 WAC) in Western Athletic Conference action. With the victory, LA Tech recorded another milestone as it marked the 500th win in games played in Ruston as the Lady Techsters program is now 500-53 all-time at home. “What an awesome milestone,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “This is a very special place to play. I had the opportunity to play in front of amazing fans and against amazing programs. And for our young ladies to win No. 500 in this fashion ... we hope everyone is proud of them.” Shelton and Frazier got the game started quickly for the Lady Techsters as the sophomore duo combined to score the first 12 points as Tech jumped out to an early double digit lead.

Kelia Shelton recorded her first career double double with 16 points and 13 rebounds as Louisiana Tech withstood a late Texas-Arlington rally as the Lady Techsters prevailed 65-58 before 2,148 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Saturday night. Shelton was held scoreless in a first half that saw LA Tech built a 38-27 halftime lead behind 25 points off the Lady Techster bench, spearheaded by nine from sophomore guard Kanedria Andrews who finished the night with a career-high 10 points and five boards. However, Shelton - who entered the game leading the team in scoring - got rolling in the final 20 minutes as she played the entire second half. Although Tech built a 15-point advantage at 55-40 with 10 minutes to play in the game, the Mavericks (3-10, 1-2 WAC) wouldn’t go away and capitalized on a LA Tech drought from both the field and the free throw line down the stretch. After two free throws by sophomore forward Whitney Frazier gave Tech the 15-point lead with just over 10 minutes to play, Tech managed to hit only 2-of-13 from the field and 6-of15 from the free throw line while committing six turnovers the rest of the way. A jumper by UTA guard Malaika Green with 22 seconds to play in the game cut the Tech lead down to 61-58 before Shelton hit 4-of6 free throws in the final 20 seconds of play to seal the victory for Tech, which improved to 11-0

With the loss, Tech dropped to 5-7 overall, 1-1 in WAC play, while New Mexico State improved to 7-5, 1-1 in league action. Gilbreath, a transfer from Southern Cal, scored 12 points in the opening 10 minutes of play to lead New Mexico State (7-5, 1-1 WAC) to a 25-12 lead after the Aggies scored the first nine points of the game. The Aggies entered the game ranked dead last in the WAC in shooting, hitting only 33 percent of their shots on the season. However, behind the strong play of Gilbreath and a number of other Aggies, New Mexico State shot 50 percent from the field in the first half - and 46 percent for the game - as they built a 35-29 halftime advantage. New Mexico State hit 15-of-30 shots in the opening 20 minutes, including 5-of-12 from the three-point line, while the Lady Techsters hit 13of-34, including a trio of three-pointers. Tech made a push early in the second half as back-to-back three-pointers by freshman Lulu Perry cut the Aggies lead to 37-35 with 17:35 to play in the game. The Techsters then went cold over the next five minutes, hitting only 1-of-11 field goals as the Aggies used an 11-2 run to push the lead out to 48-37 with just under 12 minutes to play. A pair of Gilbreath free throws at the 9:40 mark of the second stanza gave New Mexico State its largest lead of the game at 56-42 before Tech junior forward Tavasha Anderson began to go to work inside. Anderson scored all 10 of her points in the final nine minutes of play and her layup with 3:06 to play in the game closed the deficit to 62-58. However, it was as close as Tech would get as New Mexico State snapped a nine-game losing streak in the series, winning for only the

all-time against UTA. Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon used an entirely new starting lineup - its fifth of the season - and the move seemed to pay off as the Lady Techsters played much better out of the gates. After scoring the first five points of the game, Tech saw UTA tie the game at 7-7 and take its first lead at 11-9 with just under 12 minutes to play in the opening half. The two teams were tied four times and exchanged the lead eight times in the first half before Tech used a 20-6 run to close out the first half and take an 11-point advantage into the locker room. Tech’s late run was spearheaded by Andrews’s three-point shooting. The sophomore guard entered the night only 1-of-8 from beyond the arc on the year but was 3-for-4 for the game. Early in the second half it appeared that Tech was poised to pull away as the Lady Techsters built a 42-27 lead on buckets by Shelton and guard Courtney Hayes. After UTA cut the lead down to nine at 45-36, Tech once again pushed it back out to 55-40. However, the Techsters went cold, scoring only 10 points over the final 10 minutes of the game, including eight by Shelton. Frazier added 11 points while Andrews scored 10 points.

“We did a good job of attacking,” Weatherspoon said. “We put them on their heels early. It was important because they are a team that can really score. I thought our post players did a good job of being physical in the painted area and not allowing them to control it.” Lulu Perry and Brittany Lewis came off the LA Tech bench and led a strong performance from the reserves as they combined to score 14 first half points. A Perry three-pointer at the 9:06 mark gave Tech a 24-12 lead and a Lewis layup just over three minutes later gave the Lady Techsters a 32-14 advantage - its biggest of the game.

Tech, which ended the game plus 18 in rebounds, shot 47 percent (1634) from the field in the opening half and outrebounded the Bobcats 29-16. “We were crashing the boards,” Weatherspoon said. “Our guards were physical to the boards. We didn’t accept box outs. They see the ball go up and they put themselves in great position to get second and third chances. “Whitney Frazier is special player who wants to get better every day. Even in practice this is how she works. This is nothing new. She is in tremendous shape. She is productive and she sets the tone. She gets it done.” Tech maintained its double digit lead for the majority of the second half although a threepointer by Erin Peoples with 9:04 to play in the game cut the deficit to 50-43. However, Shelton scored seven points during a 15-5 run over the next six minutes as the lead ballooned back out to 17. Texas State got no closer than nine points the rest of the way. Defensively, Tech held Texas State - which entered the game as the WAC’s No. 1 scoring team - to 17 points below their season average. The Lady Techsters held the Bobcats to only 35 percent shooting on 23-of-66, including only 8-of-24 from beyond the arc. “It was one of our best defensive jobs of the season,” Weatherspoon said. “We still have a lot to do. Our transition defense has to get better. We got lost a number of times. We have to make sure as coaches we get into practice and continue to teach so it becomes just second nature to them.” Shelton ended the night with 18 points and 13 rebounds while Frazier added 15 points and a career-high 15 boards. Diamond Ford led Texas State with 25 points while Peoples added 15 points and Ashley Ezeh scored 12 points.
With the possession arrow pointing in the favor of the Roadrunners, UTSA inbounded the ball to Whitney York who missed a jumper. However, King pulled down the offensive rebound in traffic and hit a running one-hander off the glass to give UTSA the lead. Tech freshman guard Lulu Perry’s desperation heave from 60 feet hit the front of the rim as the Roadrunners snapped the Lady Techsters six-game home winning streak and defeated LA Tech for the first time in four tries. After shooting only 19 percent from the field in the first half and trailing 24-18, LA Tech dug itself even a deeper hole early in the second half before responding. A three-pointer by Ashley Spaletta at the 17:37 mark of the final stanza gave UTSA its biggest lead of the game at 33-22 before LA Tech rallied. Savanna Langston’s layup started the Tech rally and back-to-back buckets by Janay Borum with just over 13 minutes to play closed the deficit to 33-30. The Lady Techsters finally tied the game at 37-37 on a Langston 19-foot jumper in front of the Tech bench with 10:40 to play and one minute later Kelia Shelton gave Tech its first lead since the opening minutes on a threepointer. The two teams traded the lead back and forth 11 times in the second half. Tech trailed 4948 with less than a minute to play when sophomore guard Kanedria Andrews stole a pass and outraced two UTSA defenders for the go-ahead layup with 39 seconds to play. UTSA missed an opportunity to take the lead on a King jumper and then an offensive foul on Spaletta with 18.5 seconds to play. After a timeout, Tech inbounded the ball to Shelton who was tied up by two UTSA defenders, giving the basketball back to the Roadrunners and setting up King’s last second winner. For the game, Tech shot 37 percent (1952) from the field, including 54 percent (14-26) in the second half but only hit 10-of-20 free throws. UTSA shot 36 percent (18-50) for the game, but connected on six three-pointers and 9-of-14 free throws. Whitney Frazier and Shelton led Tech with
nine points each. King led UTSA with 16 points.
LA Tech 67, Idaho 58 Jan. 17, 2013 Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, La. Utah State guard Devyn Christensen score Following a 19-hour trip to Moscow the day before, Louisiana Tech found itself trailing the Idaho Vandals by 20 points early in the second half of Thursday night’s Western Athletic Conference contest at Cowan Spectrum. It would have been hard to blame the Lady Techster players if they fold their tents ... but they didn’t. Instead head coach Teresa Weatherspoon’s bunch dug deep and used a game-ending 37-8 run to record the second largest come-frombehind victory in the program’s history as the Lady Techsters defeated Idaho 67-58. “I am so proud of these kids,” Weatherspoon said. “They have gone through a lot. They have hurt a lot. A lot has happened to them just this week. To go through the trip we had to go through to get here and to be down 20 ... these kids never gave up.” The win ranked as the second largest come-from-behind victory in program history, trailing only the 1988-89 squad that overcame a 21-point second half deficit at home to beat Old Dominion on Feb. 11, 1989. Idaho, which entered the game on a twogame winning streak, led 36-27 at halftime and then opened the second half by hitting six of its first nine field goals. When Vandal guard Stacey Barr scored in transition with 16:17 to play in the game, the Vandals held what looked to be an insurmountable 50-30 advantage. Weatherspoon called a timeout, gathered her troops, made a couple of substitutions and then watched as sophomore guard Courtney Hayes spearheaded a tenacious defensive effort the rest of the way.

Lulu Perry and Whitney Frazier each scored 21 points and Louisiana Tech fought off a furious San Jose State rally as the Lady Techsters defeated the Spartans 94-80 before 2,059 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Thursday night. In a game that saw 56 fouls called and saw the two teams combine for 55 turnovers and 74 free throw attempts, LA Tech (9-9, 5-3 WAC) built a 21-point second half lead before watching the Spartans (7-12, 4-4 WAC) claw their way to within three with 5:44 to play in the game. However, Tech showed composure down the stretch and benefited from three of San Jose State’s seven players fouling out as the Spartans finished the game with only four players on the floor. For the first time in quite a few games, LA Tech got off to a quick start as Perry’s steal and layup with 16:11 to play in the opening half gave the Lady Techsters an early 11-0 advantage. It triggered a stretch of seven straight points by the Benton native as Tech eventually pushed its advantage out to 21-7 on a Savanna Langston

jumper with 12:26 to play in the first half. After the Spartans closed the gap to 25-16 on an Emily Schill layup with 8:42 to play, Tech went on a run as a Frazier layup with 3:12 to play in the opening half extended the lead to 42-22. Tech led 51-37 at the break - the most points scored by the Lady Techsters in a half this season. Tech shot 46 percent (18-39) from the field in the first half while holding San Jose State to only 36 percent (12-33). The Techsters also forced 18 of SJSU’s 30 turnovers in the opening 20 minutes of play while outscoring the Spartans 28-12 in the paint. Early in the second half it appeared as if the Lady Techsters would put the game away as a pair of Jelena Vucinic free throws with 19:16 to play gave Tech a 58-37 lead, forcing SJSU to call a timeout. However, despite being short-handed with only seven players making the trip, San Jose State continued to battle and slowly yet surly chipped away at the lead thanks to some clutch free throw shooting. San Jose State, which hit 32-of-39 free throws in the game including 23of-26 in the second half, cut the Tech lead to single digits at 62-53 with 13:34 to play in the game. An Alexis Hill jumper at the midway mark of the final stanza sliced Tech’s lead to 68-64. The lead remained single digits and when Ta’Rea Cunnigan hit a jumper with 7:05 to play, San Jose State had cut the deficit to one possession at 72-69. With Tech lead 74-71, Perry hit a jumper and a three-pointer and then back-to-back baskets by Frazier pushed the advantage to 85-76 with 3:01 to play. San Jose State lost guard Classye James to fouls with 10:59 to play on a double technical and then forward Riana Byrd fouled out with 4:53 to play and Tech leading by five. Cunnigan, who finished the game with 21 points but committed 12 turnovers, was the third Spartan to foul out with 1:15 to play, forcing coach Tim LaKose to finish the game with only four players. In addition to her career-high 21 points, Perry added a career-high nine rebounds. Brittany Lewis added 15 points and nine rebounds while Janay Borum added a career-high eight assists before fouling out. For the game, Tech shot 44 percent (33-75) from the field and 25-of-35 from the free throw line while San Jose State shot 37 percent (2260). Tech outrebounded the Spartans 52-39.

Tech (8-9, 4-3 WAC) shot just 23 percent (6-23) in the first half, including 0-of-8 from the three-point line and only 1-of-5 at the free throw line. After junior guard Jelena Vucinic gave Tech its only lead of the game at 4-2 on a driving layup with 16:16 remaining in the first half, Ward answered with a jumper less than one minute later that ignited a 12-0 run as the Redhawks led 14-4 at the midway point of the opening half. The lead remained at 10 at 18-8 following a Brittany Lewis layup with 8:52 to play when Seattle used a 14-2 run over the next five minutes to push its advantage to 32-10. Seattle led 34-13 at the half. Brenda Adhiambo opened the second half with a layup to give the Redhawks their biggest lead of the game at 36-13 before LA Tech began to rally. A Whitney Frazier jumper with 17:02 to play in the game cut the deficit to 38-22. Seattle maintained its advantage as another Frazier layup with 9:23 to play trimmed the Redhawk lead to 46-31. Four straight points by Frazier, including the last two on free throws with 5:15 to play, pulled Tech to within 12 points at 53-41. However, it was as close as LA Tech would get as Seattle held on for the win. Frazier led Tech with 14 points while Brittany Lewis added 13 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. Janay Borum tied her career-high with seven assists while adding four rebounds and four steals. Jelena Vucinic tied her careerhigh with five steals. For the game, Tech shot just 29 percent (19-65) from the field, 1-of-13 from the threepoint line and 8-of-17 from the free throw line.

“The key to our victory was the defense of Courtney Hayes,” Weatherspoon said. “It was so contagious ... it went form one player to another. We didn’t give them open looks. You cannot let a team like this get open. All 15 of their three’s in first half were open shots. Our kids made the adjustments. Courtney Hayes was awesome defensively.” Hayes, who came off the bench in the first half but who got the start in the second half, held Idaho sharp-shooter Christina Salvatore scoreless in the final 20 minutes after Salvatore scored 14 points in the opening half. Salvatore wasn’t the only Vandal shut down offensively in the second half as Tech held Idaho to 3-of-21 shooting over the final 16 minutes of the game. Offensively, Tech turned to some unsung heroes for scoring as Janay Borum scored a career-high 16 points and Jelena Vucinic added 12 points. Brittany Lewis, who was held scoreless in the first half, ended the game with 10 points and 12 rebounds. “Jelena Vucinic had confidence in every shot she took,” Weatherspoon said. “She believed in herself. She played with an amazing amount of confidence. Janay Borum conducted the show. She did a tremendous job of that. Tavasha Anderson came off the bench and set the tone in the painted area. Brittany Lewis had her most aggressive game in a Lady Techster uniform. I’m super proud of what all these kids did.” Down 20 Tech slowly started to chip away at the Idaho lead although the Vandals still held a 13-point advantage at 55-40 at the midway mark of the second half. However, a Hayes jumper at the 9:29 mark of the second half ignited a 17-0 run by the Lady Techsters. When Lewis buried a three-pointer with 3:34 to play in the game, Tech had erased the Idaho lead and taken its own at 57-55. The Vandals would tie it up on a Jessica Graham layup with 3:05 to play before Vucinic hit an offbalance driving layup 30 seconds later as Tech reclaimed the advantage. Tech ended the game on a 10-1 run as an Ali Forde free throw with exactly one minute to play was all Idaho could muster. The Lady Techsters shot 42 percent (2355) from the field for the game, including 7-of18 from the three-point line and 14-of-24 from the free throw line. Idaho hit only 35 percent (21-60) of its field goals, including 9-of-25 threepointers. Tech outrebounded Idaho 42-34. The Lady Techsters are now 16-0 all-time against Idaho.

buzzer was off the mark as Utah State won for the third time in eight trips to Ruston. After trailing for a large part of the second half, LA Tech used an 11-0 run over a three-minute stretch to take a 56-47 lead with 6:28 to play as Lulu Perry scored five points and Whitney Frazier four points during the stretch. However, Utah State rallied to tie the game at 62-62 as the Aggies scored six straight points on offensive rebounds and put-backs as Elise Nelson’s layup off a miss with 1:22 left tied the game. Tech regained a two-point lead on a layup by Brittany Lewis with 58 seconds to play in regulation before Johnson tied the game again just 14 seconds later. Lewis gave Tech a 66-64 lead with 19 seconds to play in the game before the Aggies once again tied it up as Franny Vaaulu scored in the paint with nine seconds remaining to tie the game. Tech got one final shot in regulation but Kelia Shelton’s contested jumper bounced off the rim, sending the game into overtime. In overtime, Tech held a 75-72 advantage after two free throws by Shelton with 2:18 to play but it would be the final points of the game for the Lady Techsters. Jennifer Schlott’s two free throws with 2:10 to play closed the gap to 75-74. After neither team was able to score on its next few possessions, Tech had an opportunity to add to its lead but Shelton’s 15-footer with 20 seconds to play rimmed in and out, giving the Aggies one last chance. Schott’s driving layup was blocked by Lewis out of bounds with eight seconds to play in overtime, setting up the final heroics by Johnson. Lewis led Tech with 21 points and 10 rebounds while Frazier and Perry each scored 16 points and Shelton added 15 points. Vaaulu led Utah State with 20 points while Johnson scored 15 points. For the game, Tech shot 43 percent (28-65) from the field and 15-of-18 from the free throw line while Utah State shot 37 percent (27-74) from the field and 18-of-24 from the charity stripe. Tech outrebounded USU 45-41. The Lady Techsters also held one of the WAC’s leading scorers Devyn Christensen to only eight points on 4-of-13 shooting.
UALR 74, LA Tech 52 Jan. 30, 2013 Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock Lulu Perry scored 14 points and Whitney Frazier added 11 points but UALR used a 14-0 run midway through the first half to pull away for a 74-52 win over Louisiana Tech Wednesday night at the Jack Stephens Center. UALR (14-7), which entered the game ranked in the top five in the country in defense, held the Lady Techsters (9-11) to only 32 percent shooting (19-60) from the field while outrebounding LA Tech 48-35. The Trojans also recorded 11 blocked shots in the game. “It’s difficult to explain,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “They don’t have a difficult offense to defend. They are a very good team, but we didn’t give the effort we needed to give. Every game is important. It’s

all about our kids. Do they want to get it done? We shouldn’t have to continue to coach effort every night. “We allowed (UALR) to get into a rhythm early. We allowed them to feel good about themselves. We should approach every game the same. That’s how competitors do it. We didn’t do that tonight.” Behind six early points by Perry, Tech took an 8-7 lead with 15:55 to play in the opening half. However, it would be short-lived as went the next four minutes without a point and the next five-plus minutes without a field goal as UALR built a 21-8 advantage. The Trojans would hold Tech to only 23 percent (7-30) shooting in the opening period as they took a 40-21 lead into the halftime locker room. Tech scored the first two buckets of the second half as Brittany Lewis hit a layup and a 15-foot jumper to carve the deficit down to 4025. It was as close as the Lady Techsters would get as UALR eventually pushed the advantage out to as many as 26 in the second half. Perry finished the night with 14 points, three assists and two rebounds while Frazier added 11 points and four rebounds for Tech. Lewis chipped in with nine points. Taylor Ford led UALR with 16 points while Taylor Gault added 13 points and Ka’Nesheia Cobbins scored 12 points. UALR shot 44 percent (25-57) from the field for the game and 21-of-30 from the free throw line while Tech ended the night shooting just 32 percent (19-60).
LA Tech 78, UT Arlington 62 Feb. 2, 2013 College Park Center in Arlington Lulu Perry tied her career-high with 21 points and Kelia Shelton and Whitney Frazier both scored in double figures to lead Louisiana Tech to a 78-62 win over UT Arlington Saturday night in Western Athletic Conference action at College Park Center. Perry hit 6-of-7 field goals, including 3-of-3 from beyond the arc, and 6-of-7 free throws as the Benton star helped the Lady Techsters build an early lead and eventually push it out to as many as 31 before coasting to the win. “I thought we did a lot of things well,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “I thought in the first half we really defended them well and made it tough. We executed on the offensive end for most of the game. “However, we have to learn how to close games. We didn’t do a good job of that down the stretch. We have to have better clock management. And we have to do a better job of finishing when we have the advantage.” With the win, Tech improved to 10-11 overall, 6-4 in WAC play while UT Arlington fell to 3-17 overall, 1-9 in league action. After the two teams traded buckets in the early minutes of the game, Tech used the first of three 11-0 runs in the game to build a 15-4 advantage on Frazier knocked down her seventh three-pointer of the year with 14:49 to play. The Mavs used a 7-3 run to trim the deficit down to seven before Brittany Lewis scored
five straight points to ignite another 11-0 run as the Lady Techsters led 29-11 after a Jasmine Bryant layup with 6:22 to play in the opening half. Tech shot 52 percent (14-27) from the field in the first half while holding UT Arlington to only 25 percent (8-32) as the Lady Techsters led 36-19 at the break. Early in the second half with Tech leading 46-26, the Lady Techsters registered their third 11-0 run of the night as Jelena Vucinic’s layup with 11:50 to play in the game upped the LA Tech advantage to 57-26. Both teams then began utilizing their reserves freely and the Mavs showed signs of life as Chauntandra Williams and Rosalyn Thorpe spearheaded a UT Arlington push. A layup by Thorpe with 5:46 to play in the game cut the Tech deficit to 64-44 as Weatherspoon reinserted her starters for the remainder of the game. With Tech leading only by 18 and the shot clock running down, Perry drilled a long threepointer over a UT Arlington defender with 4:51 to play as Perry scored 16 of her game-high 21 points in the final half. “Lulu is really starting to get more comfortable,” said Weatherspoon of her freshman guard who has averaged 18.0 points per game over the last four contests. “She made good decisions tonight as far as shot selection. She is still growing and transitioning to the college game. She hit some tough shots with people in her face.” In addition to Perry’s big night, Shelton added 17 points and Frazier 15 points. Tech shot 45 percent (25-56) for the game, including 6-of9 from the three-point line and 22-of-30 from the free throw line. Desherra Nwanguma led UT Arlington with 15 points while Williams added 14 points and Thorpe 10 points. The Mavs shot 35 percent (21-60) from the field, including 3-of-13 from the three-point line and 17-of-22 from the free throw line. Tech improved to 12-0 all-time against UT Arlington.
LA Tech 79, UTSA 73 Feb. 7, 2013 Convocation Center in San Antonio Entering Thursday night’s contest between Louisiana Tech and UTSA, the Roadrunners ranked No. 1 in the Western Athletic Conference in scoring defense holding opponents to only 54 points per contest. Lady Techster sophomore guard Kelia Shelton almost matched that by herself as she torched the nets - and the Roadrunners defense - for 45 points to lead LA Tech to a 79-73 victory at the Convocation Center. Shelton, whose point total was a Western Athletic Conference record and was the second most in Lady Techster history, hit 16-of-22 field goals, 3-of-3 three-pointers and 10-of-14 free throws while also grabbing a team-high eight rebounds in the victory.

led 39-29 at the half as Shelton totaled 21 first half points. Tech came out of the locker room and was able to maintain its double digit lead until UTSA used an 11-4 run midway through the final stanza to close the advantage down to five. A threepointer by Mitchell-Cole with 6:48 to play cut the Tech lead to 60-55 before Shelton answered with her third three-pointer of the game on the ensuing possession.

44 by San Diego State’s Kieishsha Garnes vs. Creighton on March 8, 1991. The Lady Techsters needed every bit of Shelton’s offensive production to pull out the win against a UTSA team that downed LA Tech 51-50 in Ruston back on Jan. 12. “Kelia got to the basket consistently, took jumpers when they were there for her and just had the mindset that she wasn’t going to be stopped,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “To have her so aggressive offensively was a huge positive for us. It took a lot of the load off of Lulu (Perry) who also had a great game.” In addition to Shelton’s historic performance, Perry added 19 points and Brittany Lewis added 10 points. Savanna Langston added five points off the bench as only four Lady Techsters scored in the game. Starting point guard Janay Borum and starting forward Whitney Frazier both fouled out of the game without scoring. “You had a game form Kelia Shelton that was amazing,” Weatherspoon said. “The floor was wide open, and she created shots for herself. Our offensive execution was good as far as setting screens and coming off of them and knocking down shots. I would like to see more of us getting points from our post people. If we don’t get that, it will be a struggle.” UTSA also entered the game ranked No. 1 in the WAC and top 50 in the country in field goal percentage defense as the Roadrunners were holding opponents to only 35 percent shooting for the year. However, with Shelton muscling her way to the basket and knocking down open jumpers, Tech shot a season-high 56 percent (27-48), including 5-of-10 from the three-point line. The Lady Techsters also hit 20of-24 free throws. Tech (11-11, 7-4 WAC) opened the game strong as Shelton and Perry combined to score the first 21 points of the game for the Lady Techsters. Shelton’s layup with 11:12 to play in the opening half gave Tech a 21-9 advantage, its biggest of the game to that point. After UTSA (12-11, 6-6 WAC) closed the gap to 23-16 on a three-point play by Niaga Mitchell-Cole with 9:05 to play, Shelton and Perry scored nine straight points and Tech eventually pushed the advantage out to 34-20.

However, the Bobcats stormed back and used a 25-4 run over the next eight minutes as Texas State hit six three-pointers during the run to grab a 35-21 lead with just over four minutes to play in the half. LA Tech scored the final three points of the half to trail 35-24 at the break. Texas State maintained its double digit lead for the majority of the second half. A Diamond Ford three-pointer with 9:08 to play gave Texas State a 53-40 margin, but a jumper by Perry and a three-pointer by Jelena Vucinic started a Lady Techster run. Two Janay Borum free throws and backto-back layups by Perry and Whitney Frazier cut the Texas State lead to 57-54 with 4:23 to play in the game. The Bobcats pushed it back to 61-54 lead on a running jumper by Ford in the lane with just over two minutes to play. Shelton then scored four straight points and Perry’s off-balance jumper with just over a minute to play closed the gap to 61-60, setting up the final minute of play. Shelton led Tech with 22 points and 11 rebounds while Perry added 14 points and Frazier chipped in with 13 points. Ford led Texas State with 16 points followed by Jasmine Baugus with 14 and Kaylan Martin and Anderson with 10 each.

Whitney Frazier and Whitney Jones each score Kacie Sowell scored 26 points and Seattle shot 52 percent from the field to defeat Louisiana Tech 87-74 before 2,351 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center Thursday night. The Redhawks (14-9, 11-3 WAC) hit 27-of52 field goals to become only the second team this season to eclipse the 50 percent plateau against LA Tech, joining the Rutgers Scarlett Knights who accomplished the feat on Dec. 9 at Madison Square Garden. “The game was too simple to them,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “We didn’t defend. They got any basket they wanted and ran any offense they wanted. They got the ball wherever they wanted. They did whatever they wanted. We didn’t play as a unit. We didn’t do anything that we worked on all week in practice. We didn’t play as a team. Anybody is going to score with us defending like that. Anybody. “It’s very simple. If you don’t put yourself in great position to defend someone in relationship to where the basketball is on the floor, you are going to get beat on duck-ins every single time. You will get beat with flashes every single time. It is all about what you do defensively. If you don’t get down and alert, you are never going to be a great basketball team defensively. That’s where it starts.” Whitney Frazier scored 20 points and Brittany Lewis added 11 points before fouling out but the Lady Techsters never managed to completely overcome a first half double digit deficit, falling for the second straight time and the second time in as many tries against Seattle. Playing without guard Kelia Shelton who was suspended for violating team rules in the first half, LA Tech managed to stay within striking distances despite committing 15 first half turnovers. After holding an early 6-0 lead, Tech watched Seattle use a 24-6 run over a sixminute stretch as the Redhawks led 24-12 on a Daidra Brown fast-break layup with 12:10 to play in the opening half. “We turned the ball over way too many times, and in crucial moments,” Weatherspoon said. “We did that and then there was no one back defensively, and they scored in transition. That fuels their fire. That got their energy flowing. They felt like this was their house and they played like it.” Despite playing the majority of the first half with Lewis on the bench with three fouls, the Lady Techsters got solid production off the bench from Courtney Hayes and Jelena Vucinic who combined for 11 points and four assists. Hayes jumper as the first half buzzer sounded cut the Seattle halftime lead to 43-37. With Lewis and Shelton both back on the floor to start the second half, Tech hit 5-of-8 shots to open the final 20 minutes of play. Two free throws by Frazier with 14:22 to play in the game closed the gap to 49-48. However, the Lady Techsters went cold -

hitting only 6 of their final 26 shots - and Seattle continued to execute on the offensive end while also hitting 31-of-36 free throws as the Redhawks closed the game on a 38-26 run. In addition to Frazier and Lewis’ offensive production, Hayes ended with a career-high eight points, career-high seven assists and career-high four steals while committing only one turnover in 22 minutes of action.
LA Tech 64, Idaho 62 Feb. 16, 2013 Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, La. Whitney Frazier hit a three-pointer with .2 seconds to play to lift Louisiana Tech to a 64-62 victory over Idaho Saturday night before 2,404 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center. Frazier’s heroics were set up when Idaho sophomore guard Stacey Barr gave the Vandals a 62-61 lead with a 10-foot bank shot in the lane with 8.4 seconds to play in the game. It was Idaho’s first lead since holding a slim 5-4 advantage with just under 18 minutes to play in the first half. “We make things hard on ourselves,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “I am so proud of the kids. They fought the entire time. They worked hard. Our bigs were productive. In order for us to be successful our bigs have to be productive. It feels so good when something positive falls your way.” Following a timeout by LA Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon, the Lady Techsters inbounded the basketball to guard Janay Borum who slipped down at mid-court. Borum kept her composure, fed Lulu Perry who took a couple of dribbles to the top of the key before finding an open Frazier standing in front of the LA Tech bench. Frazier took the pass, let the shot loose and watched as hit banked home with less than a second to play as her teammates mobbed her in front of the LA Tech scorer’s table. Officials watched the replay and put .2 seconds back on the clock. However, Idaho was unable to get a shot off as time expired. “We were actually trying to get Janay to push it up the court, and hand it off to Kelia Shelton for Kelia to get in the painted area,” Weatherspoon said. “Unfortunately, Janay fell. Lulu was alert enough to get the basketball and get it to Frazier. Frazier was alert and knew the time on the clock. She took the shot confidently and knocked it down. Before the game she told me `Coach, I just don’t feel like I can miss tonight. I am going to be clutch.’ Look at what happened down the stretch.” With the victory, LA Tech improved to 1213 overall, 8-6 in Western Athletic Conference play while Idaho fell to 12-14 overall, 9-6 in league action. The win also kept the Lady Techsters perfect record against Idaho intact as Tech is 17-0 all-time against the Vandals. And for the second time this year, Idaho head coach Jon Newlee and the Vandals had to walk off the court knowing they were close to breaking the Tech streak. Idaho led Tech by 20 in the first meeting of the year before falling 67-58. “I have a lot of respect for (Coach New-
lee),” Weatherspoon said. “He is a great man and a great coach. It is hard. You’ve been on that end and you know what it feels like. You can only imagine what he is feeling like. We always congratulate each other and wish each other the best down the stretch.” After the two teams traded buckets early in the game, a Borum layup at the 17:36 mark of the opening half ignited a 25-13 run. Brittany Lewis, who ended the game with a team-high 18 points, scored 12 points as Tech built its only double digit lead of the game at 29-18 with 5:01 to play in the half. However, Newlee’s Vandals wouldn’t go quietly as Idaho closed the Tech advantage to as few as three late in the first half before heading into the locker room trailing 34-30. Tech maintained its lead throughout the second half, pushing it out to 58-50 with 4:32 to play in the game on a jumper by Perry. However, a three-pointer by Connie Ballestero ingited a 12-3 Idaho run as Barr’s jumper in the lane with 8.4 seconds to play gave the Vandals the shortlived lead. For the game, Tech shot 40 percent (27-68) from the field, 2-of-10 from the three-point line and only 8-of-15 from the free throw line while Idaho shot 35 percent (20-58) from the field, 4-of-23 from beyond the arc and 18-of-22 from the stripe.

For the sixth straight game, the Lady Techster shot under 40 percent from the field as LA Tech hit only 31 percent of its field goals Thursday night in a 66-56 loss to New Mexico State at the Thomas Assembly Center. With the loss, Tech (12-16, 8-9 WAC) falls into a three-way tie for fifth place in the Western Athletic Conference standings heading into Saturday night’s regular season finale against Denver. The loser of the LA Tech versus Denver game will be the No. 7 seed in the upcoming WAC Tournament and will have to play Tuesday at noon PT against the No. 10 seed. The winner of the LA Tech versus Denver game will finish as either the No. 4, 5 or 6 seed and won’t play until Wednesday. On this night, the Lady Techsters looked like a team still searching for an offensive identity. After opening the game with a 4-0 lead on Whitney Frazier’s layup with 15:56 to play, LA Tech went ice cold, hitting only one field goal over the next 11-plus minutes. By the time Frazier hit another layup with 4:24 to play in the half, NMSU led 22-9. The Aggies would push the advantage out to 17 at 26-9 before entering the locker room leading 29-17. Tech hit only 6-of-31 field goals for 19 percent in the opening stanza. Coming out of the locker room, Stefanie Gilbreath and the Aggies extended their lead to 44-24 on a three-pointer by Abby Scott with 14:44 to play in the game. Tech turned up the defensive pressure with a full-court press and forced numerous Aggies turnovers over the final 20 minutes as 17 of NMSU’s 28 turnovers came during the second half. Behind the play of Frazier, who ended the night with a game-high 19 points, Tech slowly started cutting into the deficit and when the sophomore forward hit a jumper with 4:01 to play in the game, New Mexico State’s lead was down to 53-47. However, the Aggies used a 10-2 run over the next three minutes to push the lead back out to double figures as they coasted home for
Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, La. With their backs against the wall, Louisiana Tech came out punching as the Lady Techsters led from start to finish in defeating Denver 69-51 Saturday night before 2,131 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center. LA Tech (13-16, 9-9 WAC) entered the night knowing that a fourth straight loss would send them into the upcoming Western Athletic Conference Tournament as the No. 7 seed, forcing them to start play Tuesday and making it that much more difficult to win the title. However, Whitney Frazier led all scorers with 15 points and the Lady Techsters came out of a six-game shooting slump by hitting 57 percent (26-46) of its field goals as Tech defeated the Pioneers (13-16, 8-10 WAC) for the second time this season. “What I liked the most about our kids is that they stayed with game plan,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “Offensively, we started to click. We started to get open shots. We were finding people. We were dialed in, not just on winning, but on the process. “We really went to work on shooting the ball yesterday. We did even more things working with mechanics of shooting. We did those things, the kids took their time and shot it confidently. That made a difference for us.” With the win, Tech enters the WAC Tournament as the No. 5 seed and will face the No. 4 seed UTSA Wednesday night at 10:30 p.m. CT at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. While the Lady Techsters were knocking down open shots from inside and outside, it was the defensive effort that allowed LA Tech to build a double digit lead 12 minutes into the game and extend it out to 38-21 on a buzzerbeating three-pointer by Jelena Vucinic right before the half. “This is how you have to play all the time,” Weatherspoon said. “When you play like this, it’s really fun. It was important we got off to a good start. Denver is a good basketball team. Our defensive effort was great and it translated over to the offensive end. All 12 players were dialed in to the game plan. “We went over this and over this and over this defensive game plan. Tonight it looked like things sunk in with our kids with what we are trying to accomplish. Everyone must want the win. That’s what our mindset was. Everyone had to stay positive.” Denver entered the game ranked No. 1 in the WAC in assist to turnover ratio. However, behind a swarming, trapping man-to-man defense, the Lady Techsters forced 19 turnovers

Ta’Rea Cunnigan scored 20 points and San Jose State dodged two late bullets as the Spartans handed Louisiana Tech a 60-58 loss late Saturday night at The Events Center. The Lady Techsters fell to 12-15 overall, 8-8 in Western Athletic Conference play. San Jose State improved to 11-16, 8-8 in league action. Following a conventional three-point play by Whitney Frazier with 33 seconds to play that closed the gap to 59-58, the Lady Techsters forced a turnover and pushed the basketball in transition. Junior guard Jelena Vucinic, who recorded her first collegiate double double with 17 points and 13 rebounds, was fouled and went to the free throw line with 12.1 seconds to play. However, Vucinic missed both free throws and Cunnigan pulled down the rebound and was fouled. Cunnigan hit one of two free throws with 7.6 seconds to play to push the lead to 60-58. After a timeout by Tech, the Lady Techsters inbounded the basketball to Vucinic who was guarded closely before finding Frazier in the far corner. Frazier, who hit the game-winning three two games ago against Idaho, let fly of the shot as the buzzer sounded, but it came up just short as the Spartans pulled out the win. Neither team shot the basketball well in

Seattle 80, LA Tech 61 March 15, 2013 Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada Seattle built a 24-point halftime lead en route to its 80-61 victory over Louisiana Tech Friday in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament at the Orleans Arena. With the loss, Louisiana Tech’s season comes to an end as the Lady Techsters finished the year 14-17 overall. Seattle advances to the championship game to face Idaho, who was an 84-82 winner of Utah State earlier in the day. “It’s a tough one for (us),” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “Our kids had a rough start to the game. We dug ourselves a big hole early. We didn’t put the ball in the basketball and we didn’t defend. The second half we put more pressure on them, and we scored more. If we could have put two halves of that together, we would have had a better opportunity. Seattle came out of the gates firing on all cylinders as the Redhawks built an early lead behind the play of guard Sylvia Shephard, who scored the first eight points of the game. Kacie Sowell’s jumper with 14:14 to play gave SU a 12-0 advantage as the Lady Techsters didn’t score until Lulu Perry’s jumper with 13:25 to play in the half. Tech sophomore forward Whitney Frazier, who has been the Lady Techsters most consistent offensive player over the past month, picked up two fouls in the opening four minutes of action and sat the remainder of the half. “Not having Whitney Frazier on the floor really hurt us,” said Tech head coach Teresa Weatherspoon. “If you don’t have Whitney in, we are in trouble. She has been our everything. Her energy and leadership is so important to us. When she went out, it was a big loss for us. Seattle really took advantage of it.” The Redhawks maintained their double
digit lead for the rest of the first half. Ashley Ward joined Shephard and Sowell in the offensive assault as back-to-back three-pointers by Ward pushed the advantage out to 34-12 with 2:41 to play in the first half. Seattle led 38-14 at the break. Tech hit only 17 percent (5-29) of its field goals in the opening half while Seattle connected on 52 percent (15-29), including 4-of-7 from three-point land. After the Lady Techsters scored the first five points of the second half on a layup by Frazier and a conventional three-point play by Perry to cut the deficit to 38-19, Seattle answered. Tech came out of the locker room with full-court pressure but the Redhawks were able to solve it and push the advantage out to 55-25 on a jumper by Brenda Adhiambo with 13:01 to play in the game. However, the Lady Techsters continued to press and continued to fight as Tech forced 27 turnovers by Seattle in the game, including 18 in the final 20 minutes of play. “I’m always proud of these kids,” Weatherspoon said. “Sometimes it is not easy being in my presence. It’s not easy. I’m demanding. They work hard. They work very hard. The pressure we put on in the second half is how we have to play all the time. I’m proud of the fight they put on in the second half.” Behind Perry, who scored 17 of her gamehigh 23 in the second half, and Frazier, who scored all 12 of her points in the final half, the Lady Techsters eventually whittled the deficit down to 66-49 with under four minutes to play. Perry had a three-point shot in transition that could have cut the lead down to 14 but was unable to connect as Seattle U pushed the lead back to 22 with two minutes to play. After scoring only 14 points in the first half, the Lady Techsters shot 50 percent (16-32) from the field and 13-of-14 from the free throw line to score 47 points after the break. For the game, Tech hit 34 percent (21-61) from the field, only 2-of-12 from the three-point line and 17-of-18 from the free throw line. Seattle shot 55 percent (27-49) from the field, 7-of12 from the three-point line and 19-of-25 from the free throw line. The Redhawks outrebounded Tech 40-26.

Techster History
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.
@LATechWBB
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.

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.

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. In 2010-11 she led the Lady Techsters back to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in two years as Tech captured the WAC regular season title with a 15-1 record. The Lady Techsters 66-59 win over Nevada in the WAC Tournament semifinals also marked the 1000th win in program history as Tech joined Tennessee as the only two programs to reach the milestone. Heading into its 40th season, Louisiana Tech is still considered one of the top women’s basketball programs in the history of the game, and rightly so. The numbers tell the story. 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.

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.

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.
1976-77
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.

This was a special season. After coming so close to winning a national championship the previous two years, Louisiana Tech had its eyes set on one goal entering the season - claiming the national title. However, no one envisioned the dominating performance the Lady Techsters would put on throughout the year, destroying the competition on its way to a perfect 34-0 record and the school’s first AIAW National Championship title. After defeating Southern California 66-50 in the semifinal game of the Final Four in Eugene, Oregon, Tech faced Tennessee.

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 television. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 newly-formed 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.

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.

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. Barmore’s team failed to win either the SBC regular season or tournament titles, but did receive an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. However, it was one and out as Tech fell 77-71 in overtime at Northern Illinois in the first round. 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.

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. That famous quote could be used to describe this season as Leon Barmore led Tech back to the national title game, but not without some rough moments.

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

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.

However, another 15 consecutive wins left the Lady Techsters in a showdown against Georgia in the regional finals.

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.

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.

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

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 90-33 Jan. 10, 2000, in Ruston. Barmore won 500 games faster than any coach in collegiate history, doing so in only his 576th career game.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

back in recordbreaking 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.

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.

Despite suffering through a modest three-game losing streak early in the season, Louisiana Tech posted impressive non-conference wins over Georgia, Tulane and Mississippi State that catapulted the Lady Techsters onto the national scene. Led by eventual All-American forward Adrienne Johnson, Tech entered Western Athletic Conference play and proceeded to reel off 13 straight victories, including a pair of memorable overtime wins against WAC rival Fresno State. The first was a 94-93 triple overtime win over Fresno State at the Save Mart Center when Brietta Thomas drained a threepointer with 2.6 seconds to play in third overtime. Three weeks later, Johnson hit a free throw late in regulation to send the rematch into overtime where Tech prevailed 90-84 before 7,123 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center. The Lady Techsters stumbled in Reno with a 71-66 loss to Nevada but rebounded with a pair of home wins over Boise State and Idaho to capture the outright league regular season title for the eighth time in 10 years. Tech recorded a milestone with its 1000th program win -- a 66-59 victory over Nevada in the semifinals of the WAC Tournament, setting up another rematch with Fresno State. This time Fresno State was the team to hit the big shot as the Bulldogs banked home a shot with less than a second to play to defeat Tech 78-76 for the WAC Tournament title. Despite the loss, Weatherspoon and Co. earned the program’s 27th appearance in the NCAA Tournament where it fell to Rutgers in the first round in a game played at the CenturyTel Center in Shreveport.

Weatherspoon and Co. entered WAC play 7-8. After falling in two of its first three league games, Tech won six of its next seven with the lone loss being a two-point setback against eventual WAC champion Fresno State.

Kodak All-Americans When a program’s won 1,031 games, participated in 31 national postseason tournaments including 27 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 39 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.

Known affectionately as A.T. by all Lady Techster fans, the sharp-shooting Angela Turner is still considered today as one of the best allaround 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
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
Without a doubt the deadliest outside shooter in the history of Lady Techster basketball is Pam Gant. The 5-foot7-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 All-American 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).

(1,097), No. 4 in blocked shots (189) and No. 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.

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.
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 AllAmerican 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.

Techsters. A fearless leader on and off the 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 All-American 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 ballhandling 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 LouisianaMonroe 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.

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. 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.

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 1993-94. During her junior year, Johnson became only the sec-
ond 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.

If Tech fans happened to blink while watching a game, they might just have missed the next Lady Techster Kodak AllAmerican - 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 AllSun 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.

the 60-mile move to Ruston ... a move Tech fans were thrilled about. After averaging 8.0 points in only one 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.

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.

@LATechWBB
of Enterprise Campus is nearing completion. Dr. Guice’s reputation for exemplary leadership has not been bound by the campus or the region. Roles in statewide leadership have included election to serve as the founding Chair for the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) Management Council, serving as Chair of the Louisiana EPSCoR Committee, and leading the development of a statewide science and technology plan, called FIRST Louisiana. Dr. Guice currently serves as Chair of the Board of Regents Master Plan Research Advisory Council and as the University of Louisiana System’s representative on Governor Bobby Jindal’s Louisiana Innovation Council. Among the many awards and recognitions Dr. Guice has earned during his career is the Robert E. Russ Award from the Ruston/Lincoln Parish Chamber of Commerce (2009), Outstanding Civil Engineer from the ASCE Louisiana Section (2008), Louisiana Tech University Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumnus (2007), Louisiana Engineering Society’s James M. Todd Technological Accomplishment Award (2007), Governor’s University Technology Leader of the Year Award (2006), and Louisiana Engineering Society A.B. Patterson Medal for an Engineer in Management (2004.) On December 4, 2012, during a special session of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, Dr. Guice was unanimously voted to serve as the 14th President of Louisiana Tech University. Dr. Guice officially took over as President on July 1, 2013. As President of Louisiana Tech, Dr. Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities in the U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Guice leads a university that most recently has been ranked #11 in the nation in a list of “Most Underrated Colleges In America” (Business Insider), #17 in the nation in a list of “Low Cost Colleges with High Starting Salaries for Graduates” (Affordable Colleges Online), and #21 in the nation for providing its graduates with the best returns on their investments (AdvisorOne.) Throughout his career, Dr. Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Louisiana Tech, and continues that commitment as President. Dr. Guice’s focus on campus-wide engagement, building and growing relationships, and leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the university’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come. Dr. Guice is a native of Monroe and grew up in Bastrop. He and his wife, Kathy, have three sons – Kyle, Chad, and Bret – and one grandson, Christopher.

Louisiana Tech University and President Les Guice share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Dr. Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater. One of Dr. Guice’s first achievements at Louisiana Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of Professor Jack Painter, Dr. Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978. While working on his master’s degree, Dr. Guice also discovered a passion for teaching and education as a profession. Dr. Guice accepted a position as an assistant professor of civil engineering at Louisiana Tech in 1978 and was promoted to associate professor in 1981. A few short years after earning his Ph.D. in civil engineering from Texas A&M University in 1986, Dr. Guice was named the interim department head of civil engineering in Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering in 1988 and earned the permanent department head position and full professorship in 1989. As department head, Dr. Guice initiated the formation of the Civil Engineering Advisory Board and the Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumni recognition program, both of which significantly enhanced alumni participation and significantly enhanced fund-raising for the department. Throughout the next decade, Dr. Guice would continue to distinguish himself as an academician, researcher, administrator and leader. His dedication to his students, his faculty and the university would lead to his appointment as Dean of Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Dr. Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College. Dr. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led advancement of the college and to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities. Dr. Guice’s leadership also helped to guide the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) toward a focus on the emerging field of nanotechnology. With the hiring of key nanotechnology faculty in numerous disciplines, further expansion of research laboratories, establishment of an interdisciplinary engineering PhD program with a nanotechnology track, and initiation of a B.S. in Nanosystems Engineering, the IfM and COES established strong research and education nanotechnology programs that have received national recognition. In 2004, Dr. Guice’s performance and accomplishments as dean of the College of Engineering and Science led to his appointment as Louisiana Tech’s vice president for research and development. During his tenure as vice president and as executive vice president in 2012, Louisiana Tech has significantly increased patents, licenses/options, start-up companies, SBIR grants with affiliated companies, and has established strong industry partnerships for commercialization of technologies. Dr. Guice also led the establishment of Louisiana Tech’s first two technology incubators, the Rawle and Humana Enterprise Centers. With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Dr. Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus – a research park connecting the university and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations, including an Air Force funded Cyberspace Research Laboratory. With the recent completion of Louisiana Tech’s new College of Business building and renovation to University Hall as a home for interdisciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation activities, the first phase

Director of Athletics

Louisiana Tech hired one of the rising young stars in the industry when University President Les Guice introduced Tommy McCelland as the new athletics director during a press conference held at the Charles Wyly Athletic Center on July 16. McClelland, who is the youngest AD among all Football Bowl Subdivision athletic programs, joins the LA Tech Family after serving a six-year stint in the same position at McNeese State in Lake Charles. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to join the Louisiana Tech Family,” said McClelland. “This is an institution that has a great academic and athletic reputation throughout the country as well as a storied past and a bright future. There is positive momentum that comes from a new conference affiliation, a new president and great coaches. There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of the Tech Family. “To the fans and supporters of Louisiana Tech, I want you to know that my family and I look forward to getting to know you all in the near future. This truly is an exciting time, and I am proud and honored to be your athletics director.” Guice introduced McClelland to an overflowing room of Louisiana Tech supporters, coaches and administrators during the lunch-time press conference held in the Guthrie Jarrell Room. “Tommy McClelland has demonstrated strong leadership skills and success in his early years as an athletics director,” said Guice. “He has an extraordinary blend of intellect, character, talent, and drive that makes him one of the top young athletics directors in the nation. He articulated a vision for Tech Athletics that is consistent with mine and compatible with my vision for our entire university. “I am thrilled that we have him leading our athletics program as we make our move into Conference USA, and I know that our Tech Family will see the benefits of Tommy’s leadership skills in elevating our athletics program.” McClelland has made a national name for himself during his career after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He has earned high praise from a number of high-profile, experienced athletic administrators. “Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes, and has already become well-known amongst ADs for his leadership, vision, and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.” Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university. In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He started the “Partner with the Pokes” program that provides a smaller, more attractive sponsorship package for local small businesses. On top of the “Partner with the Pokes” program, McClelland raised over $3 million in private donations since April of 2007, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multiyear sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales as the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis. In addition to increasing private and corporate donations as well as season ticket sales, McClelland was also successful with engaging the McNeese State fan base. He created and implemented the multicity summer “Cowboy Round-Up Tour,” which allowed McNeese State coaches, administrators and athletics staff to carry the department’s message and vision to fans and donors across the south. “Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Ian McCaw, athletics director at Baylor University. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.”

McClelland devised a plan to resurrect the “M” Club for former student-athletes. He also negotiated a new syndicated radio network for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball. Included in that deal was the first ever radio station solely dedicated to broadcasting women’s basketball. McClelland also re-negotiated the football program’s TV replay contract, increasing the coverage area from one station to three different stations as well as the internet. One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the student-athletes and increase the game-day experience for the McNeese State fan base. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals was by improving the facilities, something in which he succeeded. During his time at McNeese State, he oversaw a combined total of over $11 million dollars in facility renovation and new construction. The combination of increased revenue streams, renovations and new construction, and a highly-involved fan base led to plenty of success stories on the playing fields. During his tenure as athletic director, McNeese won Southland Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU). Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s studentathletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of the six years, McNeese State led the Southland Conference with studentathletes being named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. During his six years McNeese State, the number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four to all 16 this past year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to over 3,000 during his tenure. “Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments to academics and athletics, said Warde Manuel, athletics director at the University of Connecticut. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.” McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 before completing his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship while he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana, native served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (3) and Grayson (2).

Malcolm Butler begins his 15th year in the Louisiana Tech Athletics Department, his seventh as the associate athletic director in charge of communications. 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 director four months later and served in that capacity until the fall of 2007 when he was promoted to associate athletic director. The Ruston native 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 including record-setting quarterbacks Tim Rattay and Luke McCown, All-American women’s basketball players Tamicha Jackson and Cheryl Ford. He has also worked closely with a number of highly-successful head coaches, including 4-time Hall of Famer Leon Barmore, former Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley and current Lady Techster women’s basketball coach Teresa Weatherspoon. Over the course of his tenure, Louisiana Tech’s Media Relations Department has proven to be one of the best in the state of Louisiana. Over the past 12 years, members of the Tech media relations department have won a total of 44 awards at the annual Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) state SID contest -- the second most behind only LSU. During that same period of time, Butler has garnered 27 of those awards which is second most among all state SIDs behind only LSU Associate Athletics Director Michael Bonnette (28). Butler is part of a senior staff at LA Tech 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 three times in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation. He was instrumental in the forming the partnership between Louisiana Tech and CBS Interactive in the fall of 2007 in the redesign and hosting of the athletic departments website, www.LATechSports.com. The website has undergone three redesigns since the inaugural release. As part of the agreement with CBS Interactive, a new webstreaming platform - LA Tech All-Access was created - which allows fans from all over the world to watch live streams of almost all of the university’s home athletic events. LA Tech All-Access annually streams more than 125 live events. Butler has served as the host media coordinator for three NCAA Women’s Basketball First- and Second-Round sites hosted by Louisiana Tech (2000, 2001 and 2003) while also serving as the host media coordinator for the 2008 WAC Baseball Championships and the 2013 WAC Softball Championships hosted by Louisiana Tech in Ruston.

As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech Athletics Department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that was instrumental in helping the University earn an invitation to join Conference USA starting July 1. In addition, Hungate and the current senior staff have also garnered 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 three times 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 Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon has led the program to a trifecta of Western Athletic Conference titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances. She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and women’s tennis coach Freddy Gomez. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to five straight winning seasons (the first ones in program history), the program’s first ever WAC victories and its first appearances in the WAC Tournament in 2010 and 2012. Gomez took a program that had won only one WAC match since the University joined the league in 2001 and in his first season (2012-13) led the Lady Techsters to a 7-1 mark in conference action and the No. 3 seed in the postseason tournament. Gomez accomplished this with a roster that included four freshmen and only two seniors. 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). This past year Tech student-athletes boasted an all-time high 76 percent four-year graduation success rate while the Bulldog golf team earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award for the third straight year. For the fifth consecutive year, Louisiana Tech saw impressive improvements in the majority of its Academic Progress Rates (APR) as all 16 of its NCAA sanctioned programs are penalty free for the third consecutive year. 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.
During LA Tech’s time as a member of the WAC, Hungate served on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. She also currently represents the athletics department as an exofficio 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.
