LADY TECHSTER SOCCER COMPLEX
T HI S I S L A DY T EC H ST E R T E R RI TO RY
The Lady Techster Soccer Complex begins its sixth season of existence in 2014 as the home field for the Louisiana Tech soccer team. Located on Alabama Ave., the Lady Techster Soccer Complex features a press box, permanent bleachers, sound system, scoreboard and mounted stadium lights. Starting in late February of 2013, preparation for the installment of lights at the complex began with power lines being put in place under the soccer field to connect to the main power source. Foundations were then started in early March with the concrete needing to sit for at least 30 days. The light poles were delivered and the main frames were connected before the 1500 watt bulbs were attached and angled properly. The four poles were mounted onto the foundations and connected to the power source. Most recently, the field itself received an upgrade with a new drainage system and constructed façade retaining wall that serves both a practical and aesthetic purpose at the facility. In five seasons, the Lady Techsters have posted a 29-12-3 record at their home, including four notable victories. The first occurred in the 2009 home opener as LA Tech defeated Lamar 3-2 in double overtime for their first win at the complex. On Oct. 23, 2009, Kiva Gresham’s extra-frame goal, and second of the match, gave LA Tech a 2-1 win over New Mexico State for their first-ever conference win. The third happened on Oct. 15, 2010 against 2009 WAC champion San Jose State as the Lady Techsters came back from a two-goal halftime deficit to win 5-4 in overtime. The fourth notable match came this past season on Oct. 5, 2012 versus No. 19 Denver when Emily Brennan scored a game-tying goal with just two minutes left in regulation to send the match into overtime, stunning the nationally ranked Lady Pioneers in a 1-1 tie. The complex played host to the 2010 WAC Tournament. The Lady Techsters’ previous home was Joe Aillet Stadium, home to the Bulldog football team, where they posted an 1112-4 record over the program’s previous four years (2005-08). The facility will forever be remembered as the place where the soccer program earned its inaugural victory, a 2-0 shutout of Mississippi Valley State on Aug. 28, 2005. Tech’s Katy Garrison scored the first goal in the stadium on an assist by Sarah Chovanec at the 45:45 mark of the game. During LA Tech’s inaugural season in 2004, they played all of their home games on the intramural soccer field across from the Lambright Intramural Center.

2014 SEASON OUTLOOK
24
Project “Youth Movement” continued last year on the pitch for the Louisiana Tech soccer team, a program that is still very youthful in its own right having just celebrated its 10th year anniversary. The roster was about to encounter their toughest competition yet in those 10 years – moving on from the Western Athletic Conference to Conference USA. Despite having 18 freshmen and seven sophomores make up 90 percent of the squad and the steep learning curve, head coach Kevin Sherry and the Lady Techsters were able to blossom last season. It was not all roses though as it took four matches and 355 minutes to tally the first goal of the season. After the bumps of the non-conference schedule, the team suddenly found their niche once C-USA play began. The Techsters proudly greeted their fans with a victory in their first ever C-USA match at home, a convincing 2-0 shutout victory over Marshall. The team was able to pull out three more conference wins the rest of the way, just one victory shy of qualifying for the tournament. Now they look to make even bigger strides in 2014 with the return of 18 letterwinners and nine starters.
FORWARD
MIDFIELDER
The position of midfield is the engine room from a tactical standpoint, where the Lady Techsters are relied upon so much to control possession and keep the ball moving at a quick pace. Fortunately, this engine room returns a wealth of experience this season. At the heart of the room are two workhorse juniors, Brittany Beddow and Erica Stewart, who have a combined 46 starts and 39 points between them. It is a rarity to see the numbers 7 and 24 come off the field at any point. While they hold down the center, the team has a trio of reliable speedsters in Jenny Bitzer, Charity Simmons and Nicole Jaquemet who can utilize the entire field on the wings. “We have many talented midfielders either returning or joining us which is important,” said Sherry. “We have a good mixture of energy, technical ability and great work ethic.” Other returners like Annabel Prior and Abby Sentz will team up with a handful of freshmen to create even more depth.
DEFENDER The Techsters were surely not the only ones having difficulty finding the back of the net last season. Finding a first class striker is difficult, but as the year went on it appeared as though LA Tech had found one in Kathryn Sloan. The soon-to-be-sophomore ended up leading the team in goals scored with seven, highlighted by a strike that occurred just 11 seconds into the match against Southern Miss – a program record. Joining Sloan on the front line will be fellow sophomore Kailee Hervey who was second in goals with four. The two complement each other very well with their differing styles. “Kailee is a different player to Katie which gives our offense more options,” said Sherry who enters his eighth season at the helm. “Kailee is more of a target, hold-up striker whereas Katie is a quick, sharp striker who likes to get in behind defenses. The combination of these two will be exciting.” Joining them for support will be incoming junior college striker Donya Salomon-Ali.

Last season the back line required a lot of patch work where midfielders and forwards had to fill in on a consistent basis which was not ideal in the least. Add to that the loss of Marjolein Timmermans, a Conference USA All-Freshman performer, and this position will certainly be the most inexperienced. “The fill-ins did a great job but we have recruited

defenders for depth which will mean we can place those players in their more accustomed positions on the field,” said Sherry. “I am confident we will have a lot of quality and speed coming in to help us.” To fix it, two of the fastest players on the team, Madison Doll and Laura LeFevour, will become permanent fixtures on the flanks where they can have the freedom to move into the attacking third on counter attacks. At center back will be sophomore Alexandra Fiorvento who had 17 starts as a newcomer last season. The recruiting class was defensive heavy and rightfully so. A total of seven freshmen will come in and challenge for important playing time.
With returning starters filling out almost the entire starting XI, the one position that will need to be replaced is at goalkeeper after losing Caitlin Updyke to graduation. Updyke holds practically every goalkeeping record in LA Tech history, was a second team All-CUSA performer last season and now is playing professionally in Iceland. Looking to take over in net at such a critical position is sophomore Kylee Seto who recorded a 2-0-1 record in three starts. “Kylee was Caitlin’s understudy last season and we are confident she can step into her shoes,” said Sherry. “She will get pushed for that starting position though with the inclusion of two talented freshmen.” Coach Sherry went out and recruited some height and athleticism to the position with the addition of 6-foot-2-inch Anna Lensing and Maren Kreid who was a multi-sport star in Tennessee.
SCHEDULE The 2014 schedule is a balanced one for the Louisiana Tech soccer team with 10 matches being at home and 10 matches being on the road. The competitive slate also includes 10 Conference USA matches as the Lady Techsters enter their second season on the pitch in the league. The season kicks off on Aug. 22 with a road contest at Central Arkansas followed by the home opener on Aug. 24 versus Troy. LA Tech then takes on Louisiana College at the Lady Techster Soccer Complex before heading to Charleston, Ill. to battle Lewis and host Eastern Illinois in the EIU Tournament.

The remaining non-conference schedule is highlighted by three regional home matchups against Louisiana-Lafayette, Grambling State and Jackson State and a challenging road game against SEC foe Mississippi State. “We have games which will challenge our returners and games which will provide our large incoming freshman class a chance to contribute,” said Sherry. “The opening game at UCA will be a real test as will our trip to Illinois because of the travel involved and playing against two quality teams.” The schedule then shifts to the C-USA portion where the Lady Techsters will face five teams they have never played before, but they begin action on Sept. 26 with a tough weekend road swing at regional powers North Texas and Rice. LA Tech then plays host to Middle Tennessee and UAB the following weekend on Oct. 3 and 5, respectively. The meeting with the Blazers will be the first ever for the program, as will the ensuing road matchups versus Charlotte and Old Dominion After a one-match weekend at Southern Miss to conclude a three-game road stretch, LA Tech finishes the regular season with a three-game home stand against the likes of WKU, Marshall and Florida Atlantic. Transamerica Field in Charlotte, N.C. will serve as the host site for the C-USA Tournament to be held Nov. 4-9.

student-athletes were recognized by C-USA and were named to the C o m m i s s i o n e r ’s Honor Roll for the 2013-14 academic year, maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. Of those 23, nine also received the C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal, given to those who achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better. The respect has been acknowledged through their sportsmanship as the team has been awarded multiple times with the NSCAA Ethics/Sportsmanship Award. The award recognizes teams with less than five yellow cards throughout the season. The biggest cultural impact in the program, however, has come from the fourth pillar - Service. Community service has been demonstrated year-round in Sherry’s seven years as head coach. On the field they have constantly hosted free soccer clinics for kids. Off the field, they have recently volunteered at multiple events, raised money for Relay for Life, participated in radiothons, visited nursing homes and assisted with recycling drives. A fifth pillar could be added to the revamping of the Lady Techster soccer program as well -- Winning. Since Sherry took over as head coach in 2007, he has developed winning individuals and winning teams year in and year out. The lone senior on last year’s roster, goalkeeper Caitlin Updyke, became the third Lady Techster to join a professional soccer team. Updyke joined the IA Akranes in Iceland to compete in the Pepsi League, the country’s professional division. The other two were defender/ forward Scotti Culton who played for the Colorado Rapids Women in Fort Collins, Colo. and Olivia Lukasewich who played for the Spartans Women’s and Girls’ Football Club of the Scottish Women’s Premier League. In 2010, Sherry’s Lady Techsters finished with a record of 15-6 overall and 5-3 in the Western Athletic Conference, both school records. After being picked last in the conference preseason polls, LA Tech finished tied for third. Also for the first time ever, the Lady Techsters placed individuals on the allWAC team and qualified for the WAC Tournament, which was held at the Lady Techster Soccer Complex. In a season with so many great accomplishments, Sherry

Kevin Sherry begins his eighth season as head coach of the Lady Techsters and his 14th overall in Division I college coaching. Since he arrived in Ruston prior to the 2007 season, he has completely revamped the soccer program by instilling the four pillars of Lady Techster soccer: Passion, Respect, Service, Fearless. The fearlessness was on display all of last season as Sherry led his young Lady Techster team into a strong new conference in Conference USA. Despite having a roster of 18 freshmen and one senior, the Lady Techsters came together to produce a 9-10-1 record and came within one win of reaching the C-USA tournament in their first season in the competitive league. The first ever C-USA win came at home in a 2-0 shutout victory over Marshall on Oct. 4. After dropping a heartbreaking 3-2 loss in overtime to FIU, a match that saw LA Tech hold two separate leads, the Techsters reeled off three straight shutout wins over Middle Tennessee, UTEP and Southern Miss. The building process was a continuation of the 2012 season when the squad went 12-5-4 which included an 11-game unbeaten streak and a 1-1 tie with No. 19 ranked Denver. After being picked in the preseason to finish last in the conference, the team responded with a fourth-place finish in the WAC, setting school records by allowing only 15 goals and recording 12 shutouts along the way. Sherry was named the LSWA Coach of the Year for his efforts. The passion has not only been seen on the soccer field, but in the classrooms as well. Since the native of Grantham, England arrived in Ruston, Tech has consistently been recognized for its excellence in education as they were awarded the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/Adidas Team Academic Award for six consecutive school years. The award recognizes teams that have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or better. Most recently, 23 of the soccer

recorded a personal one of his own. With an 8-0 win over Grambling State on Sept. 1, 2010, Sherry won the 100th game of his NCAA coaching career. In 2009, after winning their first 11 games, Sherry led Tech to a 12-7-1 record, including the program’s first-ever Western Athletic Conference win. Tech scored the most goals (54), assists (45) and points (153) ever in a single season. In match play, the Lady Techsters set new singlegame records in goals (12), assists (12) and points (36). In 2008, the Techsters were recognized for their significant improvement from their 2007 campaign when they went 2-14-1. Sherry and Co. posted a 105-5 record, an eight game improvement that the NCAA recognized along with three other schools, as one of the most improved teams in the nation. They also established a new shutouts record with 10 as they held their opponents scoreless in nine of their 10 wins. Shortly after the conclusion of the 2008 season, Sherry was selected to serve as U.S. Youth Olympic Development coach. Sherry was given the responsibility of coaching the Louisiana U-16 team and was also selected to instruct a coaching clinic for all high school coaches in the state of Louisiana. Sherry spent two years as head coach at Western Illinois. He inherited a program that was 24-111-7 over its history, including a 3-12-3 mark, the year prior to his arrival. Between the 2005 and 2006 seasons, he compiled a 20-13-4 record, and the program was recognized as one of the NCAA’s most improved. Before his arrival, the program had never experienced a winning season. He led Western Illinois to its first MidContinent Championship finals in 2006. Even though the Westerwinds lost the conference championship, they finished with an 11-7-1 record. Their 11 wins were the most victories in a season in school history. Sherry turned around another losing program as head women’s soccer coach at Graceland University. Prior to his arrival, the Yellowjackets never had a winning season in its history. That changed as well. He coached Graceland to records of 12-7-1 and 16-2-3 before he led the team to an 18-0-5 record in his final season. Their success equated to the school’s first undefeated season, the school’s first-ever Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) Championship, an appearance in the NAIA Final Four and its highest national ranking of seventh by the NSCAA.

Josh Wagenaar enters his second season as the assistant coach for the Louisiana Tech soccer team. A former standout goalkeeper in Canada, Wagenaar was instrumental in coaching Caitlin Updyke to arguably her best season in net. Updyke registered four shutouts against Conference USA foes with her best effort coming against C-USA champion Colorado College when she held the potent Tigers scoreless for 102 minutes while tallying a career-high 12 saves. The keeper was named second team Assistant Coach All-Conference USA. Prior to joining the Lady Techster coaching staff, Wagenaar served for three years as the men’s and women’s goalkeeper coach at Graceland University. While with the Jackets, he coached the women to three consecutive Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) Championships and National Tournament appearances while also developing the strength and conditioning programs. Under his tutelage, the Lady Jacket’s goalkeeper Stefany Cardozo garnered multiple honors including two conference defensive MVP awards, two first-team All-HAAC awards and was recently named the 2012 HAAC Player of the Year. As a player, he participated at all levels of soccer throughout his career. Wagenaar spent three seasons at Hartwick College where he was named Atlantic Soccer Conference Goalkeeper of the Week 11 different times. After playing for the Canadian National team in the divisions of U16, U17, U18 and U19, Wagenaar was named to the U20 team where he represented his country in two FIFA World Youth Championships. He then pursued a professional career overseas in Europe where he played for ADO Den Haag (The Netherlands), Lyngby BK (Denmark), Yeovil Town F.C. (England) and Falkirk F.C. (Scotland) during which time he was also a member of the U23 and full senior men’s Canadian National teams.

Former Lady Techster great Kiva Gresham begins her third year with the soccer program after returning to Ruston as an assistant coach for Kevin Sherry midway through the 2012 season. Gresham teams with fellow assistant Josh Wagenaar in overseeing fitness and conditioning for the squad. Her other main responsibility is assisting with the midfielders and strikers. This past season she helped coach freshman Kathryn Sloan who recorded a team-high seven goals, including the fastest scored goal Assistant Coach in program history against Southern Miss which came only 11 seconds into the match. Coincidentally, the record was previously held by Gresham which she set back in 2008. During her playing career, Gresham was a star forward for four years at LA Tech. She currently holds the season record for most points (32) and most assists (8). She also ranks second in most goals (27), most assists (20) and most points (74) in a career. Originally from Albuquerque, N.M., Gresham has taken her love for the international sport and gone to the Caribbean where she participated in a coaching class in Trinidad and Tobago. Gresham was also recently selected as one of the lead instructors for the EXACT Soccer Elite Prospect Camp. This unique college soccer camp provided players with the opportunity to showcase individual field skills and their mental readiness. Gresham joined other top instructors from NCAA programs such as North Carolina, Stephen F. Austin, Abilene Christian, Illinois, Dallas Baptist, Schreiner, Sam Houston State, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Texas-Brownsville and St. Mary’s (Texas).

CONFERENCE USA Conference USA celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2014-15, welcoming newcomer Western Kentucky University into the fold on July 1. The league has transformed through its two decades, but the commitment to excellence, integrity, leadership and its student athletes in athletics, academics and community is unwavering. Conference USA enjoys a far-reaching fan base with its 14 members: Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP, UTSA and WKU.
Success is not limited to athletic achievement, however, as 186 Conference USA student-athletes have garnered Academic All-America honors, 651 have achieved academic all-district laurels and thousands of student-athletes have earned their college degrees. Conference USA sponsors competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball). The league promotes the scholar-athlete ideal, honoring outstanding achievement with numerous conference-sponsored academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal as well as sport-specific All-Academic teams. C-USA annually awards $4,000 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Awards, Scholar-Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Additionally, Conference USA presents a Spirit of Service Award three times each year, recognizing student-athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom and give back to the community through significant service efforts and participation.

Football • 83 teams have earned bowl bids • Eligible for the College Football Playoff • Conference USA has 10 bowl affiliations through the 2019 season, securing a minimum of five berths annually. Conference USA has primary bowl tie-ins with the Bahamas Bowl, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl, Boca Raton Bowl, Gildan New Mexico Bowl, Heart of Dallas Bowl, Miami Beach Bowl, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, along with secondary arrangements with the Duck Commander Independence Bowl and the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.

Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 19 years, more than 28,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.

C-USA ON TV
C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. C-USA membership include institutions within eight of the Top 40 media markets and four in the Top 25 according to Nielsen. C-USA home markets this year will include more than 13 million TV households, a 30 percent increase from two years ago.
C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK
THIS I S L A DY T EC H ST E R T E RRI TO RY
The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights, and conferenceproduced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and those numbers have more than doubled. Monthly and yearly subscriptions provide fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.
C-USA in the community
The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 14 members in 10 states and a combined area population of nearly 30 million. With a commitment to community involvement, the conference developed several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations. Individually, student-athletes are recognized each season through the Spirit of Service award.
GOVERNANCE
Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.
A PROUD HISTORY
Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP became full-time Conference USA members for all sports in 2005. In 2013, charter member Charlotte returned to C-USA and was joined by new members FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. The membership is at 14 institutions with WKU joining the league on July 1, 2014.

DR. LES
GUICE
University President @LKGuice
@LATechSOC
T HI S I S L A DY T EC H ST E R T E R RI TO RY
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 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 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 chair of the 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 boasts one of the rising young stars in the industry in Athletics Director Tommy McClelland, who enters his second year in Ruston after an impressive debut. McClelland joined the LA Tech Family when University President Les Guice introduced him as the new athletics director during a press conference at the Charles Wyly Athletic Center on July 16, 2013. McClelland, the youngest AD among all Football Bowl Subdivision athletic programs, came to Ruston after serving six years in the same position at McNeese State in Lake Charles. His first year in north Louisiana was a successful one. McClelland’s philosophy of developing student-athletes into champions on the playing fields, in the class room and in life is the cornerstone of his leadership style. While leading Louisiana Tech into the Conference USA era, McClelland impacted the athletics department through fundraising, facility improvements, coaching hires and overall student-athlete development. Shortly after his hiring, McClelland re-energized the LA Tech fanbase when he joined President Guice in an October press conference revealing the updated plans for the $20 million south end zone facility project – the centerpiece of the University’s Quest for Excellence capital campaign. McClelland completed the fundraising needed for the project, and the University broke ground in mid-April. An expected completion date is August of 2015. When completed, the three-story facility, 70,000-plus square foot building will benefit all of Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes; it will include a new state-of-the-art strength and conditioning complex utilized by all 16 of the University’s athletic programs. The building will also house football coaches’ offices, football locker room, team and position meeting rooms, club seating and a multi-functional dining space that can be utilized for athletic and campus events. Another marquee addition to the Louisiana Tech athletic facilities during McClelland’s first year was the $1.2 million Paul Millsap Vision presented by Community Trust Bank, a high definition video display board in the Thomas Assembly Center. The project also includes a customized sound system for the Thomas Assembly Center and a video board control room, which will be utilized for both football and basketball. These two major facility improvements and additional smaller scale projects were made possible through a record-setting year of fundraising. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, McClelland spearheaded the efforts in raising more than $10.9 million through both LTAC and Quest for Excellence; more than double any previous year in Tech Athletics history. Included in the record total were five, seven-figure gifts. Tech had plenty of success stories on the playing fields this year as well, led by Mike White and the Bulldog basketball team. The Dunkin’ Dawgs captured the regular season Conference USA title, tied the program single season wins record and advanced to the third round of the National Invitation Tournament after impressive wins over Iona and SEC foe Georgia. Following the season’s success, McClelland extended the contract of White, which enabled the University to hold onto one of the hottest commodities in the basketball coaching circles nationwide. In addition to the men’s basketball success, the Lady Techster tennis team recorded one of its best seasons in program history, posting a 15-7 record and earning the No. 5 seed in the C-USA championships. First-year head coach Chad Camper earned the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Coach of the Year Award, and the Lady Techsters earned their first ever regional ranking, finishing seventh in the southern region of the final Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings. Tech sophomore Victor Lange became the first Bulldog golfer ever to earn an NCAA Regional appearance and competed in the San Antonio Region. Tech track and field had 13 student-athletes qualify for the NCAA regionals; six advanced to the NCAA championships in Eugene, Oregon. McClelland also made some tough personnel decisions, making

coaching changes in both women’s basketball and baseball. McClelland made a national splash with the hiring of Tyler Summitt to lead the tradition-rich Lady Techster basketball program. Summitt, son of legendary Tennessee Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, is the youngest head coach of any Division I women’s basketball program. He also hired one of the rising stars in college baseball in Greg Goff, a 21-year coaching veteran who recently led Campbell to its third straight 40-win season. The Camels joined LSU, Florida State, Oregon, Oregon State, Louisville, South Carolina and Rice as the only NCAA Division I baseball programs with at least 40 victories in each of the past three years. Goff led the program to this year’s NCAA Regionals. Prior to coming to Ruston, McClelland made a national name for himself after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He 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 among 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 raised more than $3 million in private donations, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales: 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. “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.” 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. 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

Mary Kay
Hungate
Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator
Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate enters her 29th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Department and has proven to be an integral part in the emergence of the University’s programs on the playing fields and in the classroom. Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for softball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s track and field, and women’s bowling, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs. As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech Athletics Department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that was instrumental in helping the University earn an invitation to join Conference USA starting July 1, 2013. 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 also finished in the Top 10 three times in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most
@LATechSOC
efficient athletic departments in the nation. Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of head coaches. She served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to four straight winning seasons (the first ones in program history), the program’s first ever WAC victories and its first appearance in the WAC Tournament in 2010. She has also been involved in the hiring of a number of other highly successful coaches, including current Lady Techster basketball coach Tyler Summitt, son of legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. 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). Louisiana Tech’s student-athletes continue to reach academic progress superlatives. For the sixth straight year the University recorded alltime highs in the most recent Federal Graduation Rate Report released by the NCAA last October. Tech’s student-athletes recorded a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 80 percent and a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 59 percent, which both were improvements over last year’s numbers. Louisiana Tech’s 80 percent graduation success rate ranks as the second highest in the state among Division I football-playing public institutions, trailing only LSU (81). LA Tech’s graduation success rate is four percentage points higher than last year’s (76) and easily outdistances the state average of 66 percent among the other nine Division I footballplaying public institutions in the state of Louisiana. Twelve out of 16 programs at LA Tech also saw an improvement in their single year Academic Progress Rates (APR) over the previous year’s scores, including men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, and women’s cross country. Thirteen of Tech’s athletic programs earned a single year rate above 930 for 2012-13 led by perfect 1000 scores by men’s basketball, men’s golf, women’s tennis and women’s bowling. The women’s bowling team also earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award last week after their multi-year APR (1000) ranked in the top 10 percent among all the women’s bowling programs in the nation. 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. Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988. In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program. Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/ Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004. She currently serves on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. In addition, along with Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde, she represents the athletics department as an ex-officio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council. Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament. In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation. During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.

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 student-athletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of McClelland’s six years as athletics director, McNeese State led the Southland Conference in the number of student-athletes named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. The number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four in his first year to all 16 in his final year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to more than 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 and completed his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship; he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team. The native of Basile, Louisiana 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 (4) and Grayson (3).

In his role as assistant director of development, he oversaw an active portfolio of over 150 Ahearn Fund members and prospects, primarily in Kansas City. In addition to his duties in Kansas City, he oversaw membership campaigns and special events, both in the Kansas City area and on campus for returning letter winners. Warren was also actively involved in fund raising for the West Stadium Center, the largest capital project in Kansas State University history both through philanthropic capital gifts and premium seat construction gifts. Some of his additional responsibilities at Kansas State included providing leadership in re-branding the Ahearn Fund across Kansas as well as nationally; fully overhauling the online signup process leading to a much more simple process for first time members to join the Ahearn Fund; helping implement and serving on the Marketing Task Force, a collaborative effort between the development and marketing departments, leading to more streamlined communications to both current and potential members; creating and running the R1SE UP member referral program, which led to over 300 new members via referrals from existing members; and soliciting and secured annual gifts from $50 to $15,000 and capital gifts up to $140,000. Warren earned his bachelor’s degree from Tennessee in sports management in 2008 while he completed his master’s degree in education administration and leadership from Kansas State in 2011.

Kane McGuire begins his third year as an assistant media relations director in the Louisiana Tech Media Relations Department. He is the primary contact for men’s basketball, women’s soccer and women’s tennis. In his first year at LA Tech, McGuire was credited with promoting the Bulldog basketball team to its first AP top 25 national ranking in 28 years and its first ever WAC regular season championship. He helped highlight the team’s program record 18-game winning streak en route to a berth in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). McGuire was also credited with promoting netter Joanna Nalborska who earned the program’s first ever conference freshman of the year as the tennis team recorded one of the most impressive turnarounds in Tech athletics history. The Lady Techsters posted a 7-1 WAC record after having won only one WAC match since the program joined the league in 2001. He also had responsibilities of keeping track of game notes for the record-setting football team as well as writing feature stories for the gameday programs. McGuire’s story on wide receiver Hayden Slack and his family’s long-standing history as a part of the Bulldog football program won second place in the Best Release category at the annual Louisiana Sports Writers Association SID contest. The Ruston native is a 2006 graduate of Louisiana Tech University with a bachelor’s degree in political science and a minor in English. After graduation McGuire worked at Community Trust Bank for five and a half years as a personal banker, and as a specialist in the account services and loan administration departments.
