J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park
24
J.C. LOVE FIELD
Entering its 41st year of service, modern J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park continues to be one of the top playing facilities in the South. Since the facility opened in 1971, the stadium has seen the Bulldogs amass an impressive 702-376-1 (.651) home record. The facility has undergone several renovations in recent years. The outfield fence has been moved back as much as 20 feet in some places and has been raised. The dimensions of the field are now (left-to-right) 315-370-385-340-325. Other renovations include a new paint job, a new warning track and new lockers for the Bulldogs. Windscreens down the left-and right-field lines were added, as well as a visitors’ bullpen. In 2008, a brand-new scoreboard was installed beyond the right field wall and a smaller scoreboard display behind home plate. The smaller display faces the outfield and the University Park Apartments that sit beyond the left field fence. Approximately 400 new chairback seats were also added to the existing 300 to give more options to Tech season ticket holders. A new press box was constructed in time for Tech to host the 2008 Western Athletic Conference Tournament for the first time in the school’s history. It features two radio booths, a television booth, ample seating for media members, high-speed internet connections and multiple phone lines. On May 22, 2008, the facility was rededicated as J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park in honor of Tech legend, Pat “Gravy” Patterson. In his honor, an outfield wall sign that bears a picture of the former coach in his Tech jersey with the years he coached and his record was installed in left-center field. His name has also been imprinted on the outside wall of the press box that faces Tech Drive, and it has been added to the top panel on the scoreboard in right field. Centrally located on the Louisiana Tech campus, the facility features a seating capacity of 2,000, many of which are chairback seats for added comfort. The ballpark also boasts large picnic and viewing areas beyond the outfield wall that are very popular with Tech fans and the infamous “Right Field Rowdies.” J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park also features complete team facilities underneath the main stadium structure, including two locker rooms, showers, training rooms and coaches’ offices. A players’ lounge was built adjacent to the home locker room and restroom facilities are located behind the third base dugout. An enclosed batting tunnel is located down the left-field line. Tech’s baseball surface has been expertly manicured and is one of the finest playing surfaces available. It features a fully-automated sprinkler system. Lights were installed prior to the 1978 season. In 1997, a school-record 3,251 fans packed the stadium and the hills beyond the outfield to watch the Bulldogs play eventual national champion LSU. The facility, known as Tech Stadium until 1982, was named in honor of J.C. Love, a Ruston businessman who whole-heartedly supported the Tech baseball program and the university.

PAT PATTERSON
Louisiana Tech lost a coaching legend on Oct. 11, 2007, as Pat “Gravy” Patterson, longtime coach of the Bulldog baseball team, passed away at the age of 73. Patterson coached the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs for 23 years and upon retiring in 1990, he was the all-time winningest coach in Louisiana collegiate baseball compiling a record of 741-462-2. “The Louisiana Tech family has lost a wonderful person,” said Tech President Dr. Dan Reneau. “Coach Patterson was a great friend and mentor to countless Tech students over the years, and he will be missed by all of us.” Patterson led Louisiana Tech to seven NCAA Tournament appearances during his coaching tenure, the last coming in 1987. In 1974, Patterson had the Bulldogs just one game away from the College World Series. Affectionately known as “Gravy” by Bulldog fans, Patterson came to Louisiana Tech in 1967 as an assistant football coach. One year later, he was hired as the Bulldog baseball head coach and served in dual roles before finally leaving the gridiron in 1978. “The entire Tech Athletic family mourns the loss of Coach Patterson,” said former Tech Athletic Director Jim Oakes. “We all grieve the loss of such a special man and outstanding coach. Coach Patterson left an unforgettable mark on his players and those of us who were fortunate to know him. This loss is very hard because Coach Patterson was beloved by everyone who knew him.” Patterson recorded 18 winning seasons in 23 years at the helm of Tech baseball and posted 40-win seasons five times. He was named the conference Coach of the Year seven times and the District VI Coach of the Year in 1974. “In my eyes, Gravy is Louisiana Tech baseball,” said current Tech baseball coach Wade Simoneaux. “Anytime anybody mentions Louisiana Tech baseball, his name always comes up. He set the bar so high that it’s not even attainable to do what he did here. He was an idol to me.” A 1958 graduate of Louisiana Tech, Patterson played football and baseball under legendary Bulldog coaches Joe Aillet and Berry Hinton, earning four football letters and two baseball letters. He went on to earn his master’s degree from the University of Mississippi in 1961. He began his coaching career in 1958 on the prep level at Ouachita Parish High School in Monroe, then took a job at Shreveport’s Byrd High School in 1963 before joining the Tech athletic department in 1967 as an assistant football coach. Although he finally left the gridiron in 1979, Patterson did return for one game as interim head coach in 1979, leading the Bulldogs to a remarkable 13-10 victory over rival Northeast Louisiana (now known as UL-Monroe) in his only game as head coach. “When I came in 1974, he was the first coach I was really involved with,” said longtime Tech broadcaster Dave Nitz. “He took me in and was always like a father figure to me. He would go on a recruiting trip and take me with him. He was Tech through and through. Nobody loved Louisiana Tech more than he did.” Patterson served for several years as Tech’s associate athletic director following his retirement from the diamond, overseeing eligibility of athletes and working closely with NCAA compliance. On three occasions, he was asked to step in as the university’s interim athletic director. He is a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame.

2011 SEASON OUTLOOK
INFIELD The Bulldogs return five players who started at least 24 games in the infield last season. Entering the season, the corner infield positions appear to be the most set in stone as juniors Mark Threlkeld and Alex Williams will anchor the corners. As a returning first team all-WAC performer, Threlkeld will start the season at the hot corner for the Bulldogs. After a breakout sophomore season that saw the Monroe native belt 14 home runs while driving in a team-high 62 runs, the slugger is expected to fill a role in the heart of the Tech batting order. After a strong summer in the Northwoods League followed by an impressive Fall World Series that saw Threlkeld drive in 13 runs, hit three home runs and total 12 hits for a .429 average, the junior was named preseason all-WAC by both Baseball America and Perfect Game USA. According to Baseball America, Threlkeld ranks as the third-best draft-eligible prospect in the WAC while Perfect Game tabbed him as the 3B • MARK THRELKELD fourth-best prospect in
2011 SEASON OUTLOOK

With each spring comes a new beginning. For the Louisiana Tech baseball program, this spring marks the beginning of an opportunity to contend for a conference championship and a slot within an NCAA Regional. The Bulldogs welcome back 20 letterwinners and seven position starters from a 2010 squad that finished 27-30 while shattering four school records for hits (697), runs (484), doubles (141) and RBI (441). Of the returning starters, four were named all-WAC performers last season highlighted by first team selection, Mark Threlkeld. “I like our experience that we have coming back,” said ninthyear head coach Wade Simoneaux. “Not only with the 20 lettermen returning, but we also have some guys that were injured that didn’t even get to play last season that are going to come back and help us immensely.” In total, seven position starters and seven pitchers that saw at least 15.0 innings of work last season return in what is one of the more veteran lineups within the conference. With five seniors on the squad, coach Simoneaux likes the Bulldogs’ chances for the upcoming season. “I like our veterans that we have in our lineup, and I like the veterans that we have coming back on the mound,” said Simoneaux. “We have some really good freshmen that came in and will have to be patient so that we can find them a spot to give them all a taste of college baseball. The team will be ready to compete. They will be in the best shape of their life when the season starts and they’ll be ready to go.”
the conference. Opposite of Threlkeld on the diamond is 2010 second team all-WAC selection, Alex Williams. As Tech’s first basemen last season Williams hit .343 while tallying 74 hits, 17 doubles and 11 home runs. Defensively, Williams had a .982 fielding percentage last season which ranked second on the team amongst everyday position players. The 6’6 lefty projects to fill a slot in the middle of the batting lineup for Tech. Defensively, the biggest question mark rests with the middle infield. Last year the two positions combined to yield 35 of Tech’s 92 errors on the season. Sophomore Taylor Terrasas is projected as the opening day second basemen after seeing time at short during the Fall World Series. Last season Terrasas started 24 games as a freshman and hit .360 with 15 RBI and 15 runs scored. A native of Santa Fe, Texas, Terrasas totaled eight errors last season in 82 chances for a .902 fielding percentage. His numbers during the fall were consistent with his production last season. With perhaps one of the strongest arms in the infield, junior Ashton Hughes is expected to start at shortstop. Offensively, the left-handed hitter had 41 hits and 30 RBI last season to hit at a .320 clip. Despite his strong arm and quick bat, the biggest question mark for Hughes remains with his glove as he committed a team-high 21 errors last season in just 153 chances. Joey Ford who started 48 games at second base last season is expected to see a majority of his playing time at center field while playing spot duty at second. Freshman Ryan Gebhardt, a native of Monroe, La., has come on strong during fall and winter workouts and is expected to contribute as a key reserve in the middle infield. OUTFIELD With the departure of All-American Devon Dageford and Clint Stubbs, Louisiana Tech will feature a new look outfield this season. Junior Kyle Roliard is the lone returning starter for Tech and is projected to begin the season at left field. Last season the native of Spring, Texas, led the team with a .988 fielding percentage as he only committed one error and his eight assists marked the most by an outfielder. Offensively, the lefty scored 59 runs, had 76 hits, 16 doubles and 30 RBI while hitting boasting a .330 batting average. As a second team all-WAC performer at second base last season, senior Joey Ford began to make the transition to center field during the Fall World Series and has continued the transition throughout spring practice. On the offensive front, there is no question to Ford’s abilities as he is Tech’s best returning hitter after turning in a .371 batting average last season. In addition, Ford had 79 hits, 14 doubles, three home runs and 48 RBI. The fifth-year senior committed just four errors last season and ranked second on the team with a .982 fielding percentage. Rounding out the outfield starters will be senior Will Alvis in right. Last season Alvis hit 13 home runs, 11 doubles and drove in 41 runs while hitting .308. During the Fall World Series, the senior hit .522 and drove in seven runs while belting four home runs. Defensively, Alvis was flawless in 16 chances in right field during the Fall World Series.
www.LATechSports.com
Although he is projected as the starting DH, junior Justin Gordey will factor into the outfield rotation this season. The Bossier City native shared center field duties as he played in 38 games while starting 19 in the outfield last season. During conference play Gordey batted an incredible .486 in 16 games played with 2B/CF • JOEY FORD nine of his 16 RBI coming against conference foes. Defensively, Gordey committed just one error last season. During the Fall World Series Gordey spent his time leading off for the Blue Team. With a .586 on-base percentage, Gordey had 12 hits including three doubles and one home run. More importantly, he was patient at the plate as he drew five walks. What cannot be overlooked was his effectiveness on the base paths. With the new bats this season, speed is key and Gordey provides that. With his position at the top of the lineup and his ability to reach base at a high percentage, it will only for guys like Threlkeld, Ewing and Alvis to drive him in.
PITCHERS Counteracting the stout offensive numbers that were put up last season was a pitching staff that allowed 625 hits, 71 home runs, 283 walks with a staff ERA of 7.33 while allowing opposing batters to hit at a .315 clip. However, a total of seven scholarship arms missed significant time last season due to injury. Because of the setbacks, a total of 17 Bulldogs saw action on the mound with nine pitching 15.0-plus innings. Of those 17 pitchers, 11 are expected to be significant contributors for the 2011 season. At the front of the rotation sits sophomore Trevor Petersen who was named by Perfect Game USA as the third-ranked prospect in the WAC in the 2012 draft class. Last season the 6’2 righty posted a team-high five wins. Statistically, Petersen posted a 6.81 ERA, 28 BB and 42 K in 72.2 innings of work. Filling in as the number two starter for the Bulldogs is Mike LHP • MIKE JEFFERSON Jefferson. Selected by the New York Mets in the 46th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Jefferson ranks as the seventh-best draft-eligible prospect in the WAC by Perfect Game USA. The lefty turned in four wins last season, including one complete game, and his 69 strikeouts was a teamhigh. However, Jefferson was hindered by his team-high 59 walks. During the Fall World Series, Jefferson flashed his potential as he significantly cut down on his walks. Rounding out the back end of the starting rotation will be a pair of arms who are returning from injury; Jeb Stefan and Graham Meyers. In terms of the bullpen, Caleb Dudley and Will Alvis will anchor down the back end of games for Tech this season. Last season Dudley made 23 relief appearances and he notched a team-high two saves in 52.2 innings of work while striking out 36 batters. Alvis saw action on the mound late and the season and became a guy who consistently threw strikes as he fanned 25 batters in 25.2 innings of work. During the fall, Mike LeBreton and Josh Barrett had a combined 4-0 record with a 2.74 ERA allowing only seven runs while

CATCHER Anchoring the backstop this season is senior catcher and 2010 ESPN The Magazine’s Academic All-American third team honoree, Clint Ewing. Entering the season, Baseball America and Perfect Game USA tabbed the senior standout as preseason all-WAC. As a three-year letterman, Ewing will command the Tech pitching staff while providing a spark in the middle of the Tech lineup. Defensively, Ewing started 51 games behind the plate last season while throwing out 16 base runners. In terms of offense, he ranked third on the team in batting average (.350), second in slugging percentage (.605), third in RBI (49) and fourth in home runs (11). Providing relief for Ewing late in games and during double headers will be a pair of talented freshman. With the addition of volunteer assistant C • CLINT EWING coach Brent Porche
tutoring the backstops, true-freshman Tyler Qualls is expected to see significant playing time with Jacob Derouen filling in as the third catcher. “(Tyler Qualls) is going to be right there with Ewing catching and sharing time,” said Simoneaux. “Tyler has really stepped in and shown some tremendous skills behind the plate and has done a good job behind the plate and offensively.”
fanning nine batters in 23.0 innings of work. Both are expected to be significant contributors out of the pen and during midweek series. Also factoring into the bullpen will be sophomore Dan Breazeale who is making the transition from a dual player to a pitcher only. Referred to by pitching coach Brian Rountree as a “Bulldog”, Breazeale is expected to see key innings on the mound in addition to transfer Jamie Gilley and freshman Marc Picciola. If the Tech arms can cut down on walks, this season can be special. “It’s good to have experience. We are capable of having four or five guys make all-conference again this season,” said Simoneaux. “The freshmen have showed me that they are tough enough to compete. They are going out there every day and they are holding their own. We have eight to 10 freshmen that could be in the mix either on the mound, on defense or offensively. I am looking forward to seeing those kids develop.”

SCHEDULE The 57-game regular season schedule features 31 games at J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park in addition to 14 games against four teams that played in the 2010 NCAA Tournament. “We really worked hard to get more home games on our schedule because this team was at a slight disadvantage the last couple of years playing more road games,” said the ninth-year head coach. “We tried to really build our home schedule to help give them that confidence going into conference play.” The 2011 slate will pit the Bulldogs against teams that have a combined 17 College World Series appearances and two College World Series titles. The Bulldogs will open the 2011 campaign Feb. 18-20 as Southern Illinois, Nicholls State and Grambling State visit Ruston to take part in the Louisiana Tech Classic. Following a midweek game with UALR, Tech will hit the road for their first weekend series as the Bulldogs travel to Lake Charles for a three-game set with McNeese State to close out the month of February. Tech opens the month of March with a midweek game at UALR before hosting Middle Tennessee State (March 4-6). On March 8 the Bulldogs will travel down the road and square off with Grambling State. The highlight of the 2011 non-conference schedule will put the Bulldogs up against two perennial powers from the state of Texas - Baylor and Rice. After splitting a pair of midweek games last season against the Bears, Tech will travel to Baylor this season for a four-game weekend series before travelling to Houston for a three-game set against national power Rice. A midweek game at UT Arlington is sandwiched between both weekend series. The Mavericks will make a return trip to Ruston on May 3. The Bulldogs will host Alcorn State (March 22), Texas-Pan American (March 25-27), LSU-Shreveport (April 2-3) and Northwestern State (April 5) before opening up play against the Western Athletic Conference. “Anytime you go to Texas you are in for a fight no matter who you are playing because all of those teams are accustomed to good baseball,” said Simoneaux. “The two road series against
Baylor and Rice will help prepare our team for what is coming up in conference. Conference play is never easy with the four-game weekend series which is always tough on our guys. We have to find teams that are going to make us tougher than we already are. I think we have that in our schedule.” Tech opens conference play by hosting New Mexico State (April 8-10) before embarking on a seven-game road trip out west to face Hawai’i (April 15-18) and San Jose State (April 21-23). Simoneaux’s squad will step out of conference play with a pair of midweek games against Grambling State (April 26) and Northwestern State (April 27) before hosting Nevada to close out the month. The annual Battle of the Bone series will commence May 6-8 as Tech plays host to Fresno State before wrapping up the 2011 home schedule with a doubleheader against Mississippi Valley State. Louisiana Tech will conclude regular season play May 20-22 at Sacramento State. “One thing about our conference schedule is that three of the toughest places to play - Fresno State, Nevada and New Mexico State - are all coming to us this year,” said Simoneaux. “Those are three tough places to play at and win. Last season we only won three of those 12 games on the road so that’s a big difference in your conference standings when you are a typically better at home.”

WADE SIMONEAUX
HEAD COACH • NINTH SEASON NICHOLLS STATE, 1984
www.LATechSports.com
55
COACHING STAFF
Entering his ninth season at the helm of the Louisiana Tech baseball program, Wade Simoneaux has turned the Bulldogs into perhaps one of the more prolific offensive teams in the south. In just eight seasons with the Bulldogs, Simoneaux has compiled over 200 wins and has turned J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park into a true home field advantage as LA Tech has built a .683 winning percentage since 2006. Over the past five seasons Simoneaux has totaled 147 wins including two 30-plus win seasons. The five year stretch marks the most successful period for a Bulldog head coach since Pat Patterson and Mike Kane combined to win 171 games between 1988 and 1992. Plain and Simple, Simoneaux has returned a winning tradition to Louisiana Tech as evident by the 13 student-athletes selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, six all-Americans, one freshman all-American, one ESPN The Magazine’s Academic All-American and 24 all-WAC performers. In 2010, Simoneaux’s squad featured a prolific offense that shattered four school records for hits (697), runs (484), doubles (141) and RBI (441) while having five student-athletes named allWAC performers. The five all-conference selections marked the most in program history since the Bulldogs placed six studentathletes on the 1989 All-American South Conference. Nationally, the Bulldogs finished the season ranked amongst the NCAA leaders in 10 offensive categories including rankings in the top 25 in team batting average, scoring, home runs per game and slugging percentage. The Bulldogs’ .336 batting average last season marked the highest total since the 1958 squad hit at a .343 clip. Against conference opponents, there was no drop off offensively as Tech hit a blistering .363 against WAC schools. Although hampered with injuries to the pitching staff, the Bulldogs managed to put together several marquee wins in 2010 as LA Tech took key games against Baylor, Minnesota, Southern Miss and Fresno State. Against Minnesota, the Bulldogs took two-of-three against the defending Big 10 champions including the first ever game played at Target Field – the home of the Minnesota Twins. Despite being tabbed to finish near the bottom of the conference in 2009, Simoneaux led Bulldogs to a second place finish as the team littered their names throughout the LA Tech record books as the team finished the season with 408 total RBI (T-1st in Tech history), 92 homeruns (2nd in Tech history), a .323 team batting average (2nd in Tech history) and 438 runs scored (3rd in Tech history). Tech also ranked nationally in a number of offensive categories as the Bulldogs ended the season ranked 11th nationally in homeruns per game, 16th in total team home runs and 22nd in the nation in scoring.
The anchor of the offense in 2009 was NCBWA second team All-American honoree, Devon Dageford. The Beatrice, Nebraska native also received first team All-WAC and first team All-State honors while also being named Louisiana’s newcomer of the year. The right fielder broke the school’s single-season homerun record after launching 23 homers on the year as well as topping LA Tech’s chart’s with 168 total bases in 2009. He also recorded 68 RBI on the year (T-3rd in Tech history), 18 doubles (7th) and scored 59 runs (10th). Dageford was not alone in the 2009 team’s assault on the record books as third baseman/shortstop Chris Kersten set a new single-season school record with 20 doubles in a season while also recording 149 total bases (4th in Tech history) on his way to second team All-WAC. Joining Kersten as a second team All-WAC honoree was outfielder Patrick Thomas. The senior in 2009 recorded a .370 batting average while hitting seven homeruns, 47 RBI and 112 total bases. Thomas was second on the team behind only Dageford with 58 runs scored. Second baseman Kevin Winn did not receive first or second team All-WAC honors, but did earn ABCA South Central All-Region First Team honors and was also named All Ping! Baseball Third Team honorable mention. Winn recorded a magnificent season as he strung together the nation’s longest hitting streak since 200607. Between the 2008-09 seasons Winn put together a 33 game hitting streak on his way to 81 total hits on the season (T-3rd in Tech history). He also totaled 19 doubles (4th) and 63 RBI (10th). Kersten and Winn were each drafted in the 2009 MLB FirstYear Player Draft as well, moving the total number of Tech players drafted under Simoneaux to 11 in seven years. Kersten was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 39th round (1179th overall) while Winn was picked n the 26th round (774th overall) by the San Diego Padres. The three All-WAC selections in 2009 brought Simoneaux’s total to 21 former Bulldogs who have received all-WAC first team or second team honors in his seven seasons at Tech. After the conclusion of the 2008 season, six Bulldogs were selected in the Major League Baseball draft, the most in school history. They included pitcher Luke Burnett, outfielder Adam Cobb, first baseman Albie Goulder, pitcher/outfielder Jericho Jones and pitchers Alan Knotts and Dylan Moseley. All of the draftees signed with their respective major league teams but Moseley who has decided to return for his senior season. Before the draftees were given the opportunity to play baseball at the major league level, several players received numerous individual awards leading up to, during and at the conclusion of the 2008 season. Burnett was named to the 2008 Brooks Player of the Year Watch List prior to the start of the season. During the year, Goulder was named Western Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week (Feb. 25). Knotts followed Goulder’s efforts when he was awarded WAC Pitcher of the Week (Mar. 3), then Jones received the final weekly WAC hitter award when he was named WAC Hitter of the Week (May 19). At the end of the season, Jones and Cobb received all-WAC

56
honors. Jones was named to the All-WAC First Team and Cobb was named to the All-WAC Second Team. Simoneaux was awarded WAC Coach of the Year in 2007. During the same season, former Louisiana Tech baseball standout Brian Rike received WAC Player of the Year honors and was the first player from Tech to receive the prestigious award. Rike was also named Second Team All-America by Baseball America and Louisville Slugger. He collected his third All-America honor when he was named Third Team All-America by the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings. In 2006, Jones was named WAC Freshman of the Year. During his award-winning season, he batted .375, collected 66 hits, 10 doubles, 16 home runs and 56 RBI. He was the first freshman to receive the award during Simoneaux’s reign. There have been many changes off the field, as well under Simoneaux. Among the changes include strong team discipline and the team’s involvement in community outreach programs. Simoneaux has orchestrated the renovation of J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park. The coaches and players have done almost all of the work as the facility has seen many changes and improvements. A new fence was installed and recently the team renovated its locker room, along with adding a new coat of paint on the stadium. The field is in its best shape in years due to the many hours Simoneaux, his staff and players have put in working on it. More than 400 new chairback seats were installed prior to the 2008 season, along with a new scoreboard and a new press box. Tech’s housing department aided in improving the look and feel of the ballpark by building apartments just beyond the left field wall. The addition of a new brick and wrought iron fence has also helped the stadium’s appearance. A visitor’s bullpen was added during the 2006-07 offseason down the right-field line. “There are a lot of things the guys have to buy into prior to this becoming a successful program. I will find the people to do this,” Simoneaux said. “It is going to be a slow but sure process. The facility is going to get better and the prospects we bring in are going to improve each year.” The Gonzales, La. native has been highly successful everywhere he has coached including seven years at Louisiana-Lafayette as Tony Robichaux’s top assistant before coming to Tech in August 2002. While at UL-Lafayette, Simoneaux was part of five NCAA Regional teams, two NCAA Super Regional squads and the 2000 Cajun squad that finished third at the College World Series. Simoneaux was invited to participate in the YES Baseball Clinics as a camp instructor in 2003. The clinics were held in conjunction with the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. A small handful of coaches are selected every year to participate in the annual event hosted by Creighton University. He also was the featured speaker at the American Legion National Convention in July 2005 in Indianapolis, Ind. In addition, Simoneaux and his staff were the featured speakers at the 2008 Louisiana Baseball Coaches Association Convention in Baton Rouge. Simoneaux was a big part of the success of the LouisianaLafayette baseball program, serving as the recruiting coordinator and coaching the hitters and infielders before taking the head job
at Tech. The Cajun hitters excelled under Simoneaux’s direction while posting a team batting average of at least .294 in his seven years as the hitting coach, and he earned the ULL Assistant Coach of the Year Award on two occasions. He has been a close follower of the Bulldog baseball program ever since the late Pat “Gravy” Patterson was the Bulldog skipper. Simoneaux graduated from Nicholls State in 1984 with a degree in business administration. He was a two-year starter at third base in 1982 and 1983. He also played at Central Florida Junior College in 1981 and served as one of the team’s captains. He was a finalist when Tech hired Randy Davis in 1996 and he again applied when Jeff Richardson was hired in 1999. The third time proved to be the charm for Simoneaux who was selected in the summer of 2002 to be the sixth head coach in the modern era of Tech baseball. Prior to his tenure at UL-Lafayette, Simoneaux served as head coach at Episcopal High School in Baton Rouge from 1990-95. He chaired the committee for completion of a $1 million baseball facility facelift. Other career highlights include four American Legion World Series appearances and nine state championships in 11 summers. Of the 104 high school players that played for him during the summer, 99 went on to receive college scholarships to junior colleges or four-year schools and 14 have gone on to play Minor League Baseball. He received the National American Legion Coach of the Year award in 1991. Simoneaux served as the head baseball coach at Ascension Catholic High School (1986-89) and was an assistant at East Ascension High School for one year (1989-90). Simoneaux is a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association. He also served as chairman of the World Games, an international baseball tournament with proceeds benefiting cancer and leukemia research. He is also a member of the local Lions Club and the St. Thomas Church men’s club. Simoneaux has recently married the former Susan Newman of West Monroe. Their new family consists of Simoneaux’s son Thomas, Newman’s one son, Adam, who is in the United States Marine Corps, and her two daughters, Mary Alice, and Caroline.

BRIAN ROUNTREE
25
ASSISTANT COACH • 16TH SEASON SOUTH CAROLINA, 1990
www.LATechSports.com

COACHING STAFF
Brian Rountree is entering his 16th season at Louisiana Tech as the Bulldogs pitching coach. His 16 years of service is one of the longest tenures of all coaches currently working at the university behind only head track and field coach Gary Stanley and football assistant coaches Pete Perot and Ed Jackson. Despite facing numerous injuries throughout the 2010 campaign, a total of 17 Bulldogs made an appearance on the mound, led by a senior Jamey Bradshaw and a duo of underclassmen in Trevor Petersen and Mike Jefferson who combined to toss 218.1 innings while fanning 175 batters. The LA Tech pitching staff accrued four complete games on the season as starting pitchers tossed five-plus innings on 33 occasions. This past June, Mike Jefferson became Rountree’s latest prospect to grab the eyes of the major league scouts as he was selected by the New York Mets in the 46th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. In 2009 Rountree coached an extremely young pitching staff that had just one senior on the staff in two-time MLB draftee Dylan Moseley. However, the young staff still helped the Bulldogs to a 29-22 record on the season. In the process, three youngsters emerged as possible rising stars on the staff in true freshmen Jeb Stefan and Kyle Roliard, and redshirt freshman Mike Jefferson. Stefan led the team in strikeouts while recording a 4-5 record in 13 games started while Roliard piled up a 4-0 record with 17 appearances out of the bullpen. Jefferson led Tech with 25 appearances while totaling a 3-3 record on the year. Under Rountree’s guidance, 13 Bulldog pitchers have been drafted or signed free agent contracts with professional baseball teams in the last ten seasons, including Luke Burnett, Jericho Jones, Alan Knotts and Dylan Moseley in 2008. Burnett was selected and signed by the Seattle Mariners. Jones was selected and signed by the Chicago Cubs. Knotts was selected and signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Moseley opted to return to Tech for his senior year after being selected by the Cubs. Of the 12 players drafted, three pitchers were selected in the first 30 rounds of the 2001 draft for the first time in school history. In all, six players from Tech were drafted in 2008, the most in school history. Adam Cobb and Albie Goulder joined Burnett, Jones, Knotts and Moseley as major league draftees from the 2008 team. Rountree is now focused on the continued development of the young Bulldogs staff. In addition to handling the duties as pitching coach, Rountree is Tech’s recruiting coordinator. The Atlanta, Ga., native has recruited most of the players on Tech’s current roster and has built a solid reputation as a hardworking recruiter. “Coach Rountree brings a professional approach to recruit-
ing and handles himself in a professional way,” Tech head coach Wade Simoneaux said. “He does an excellent job of bringing in excellent talent to this university.” In 2007, the South Carolina graduate helped mold a staff that tied a five-year-old school record for most strikeouts in a season with 452 and had two all-Western Athletic Conference selections in Andrew Alsup (first team) and Moseley (second team). Rountree also helped lead Burnett to the WAC strikeout title as he fanned 115 batters on the season. Burnett’s opponent’s batting average was a miniscule .221, also a league-best. “Brian’s tireless efforts at recruiting have put our ballclub in a position to compete in this conference,” Simoneaux said. “Since I’ve been here, our recruits have gotten better and better. And he has developed many pitchers that were borderline college pitchers when they got here into possible draft choices.” His 2002 pitching staff posted Tech’s lowest team ERA since 1993 at 4.71 despite playing nine games versus teams that advanced to the College World Series. Rountree originally came to Tech from South Carolina in 1996 with former Tech head coach Randy Davis. Simoneaux is the third head coach that Rountree has worked with at the university. Prior to coming to Tech, Rountree spent four years as an assistant at the University of South Carolina. Rountree is a 1990 graduate of South Carolina with a degree in criminal justice. Rountree spent the summer of 2001 as the head coach of a collegiate summer league team in Thomasville, N.C. The team competed in the Coastal Plains League. Rountree played baseball at South Carolina and spent two years in the Detroit Tigers organization after college. One season was spent in the Rookie League with Bristol (Tenn.) and one season with Fayetteville (N.C) of the South Atlantic League, which completed the baseball playing career of the 6-4 right-hander. While in college, Rountree led the Gamecocks in starts and strikeouts as a junior and again as a senior. Rountree was the captain of the 1989 Gamecock squad that advanced to the NCAA Tournament in Miami, Fla. His 125 strikeouts in 1988 still rank as the seventh best single season total in USC history. Rountree recorded 13 wins in two years at South Carolina. He transferred to USC after a standout career at DeKalb Junior College in Georgia. While at DeKalb, Rountree earned All-America honors as a sophomore with a 12-1 mark and a 0.78 earned run average. He was also named 1987 Georgia Junior College Player of the Year. In high school, Rountree was a standout at North Clayton High School in Atlanta. He shattered the school mark for career wins with 26 and still holds most of the school’s career records. One of Rountree’s favorite aspects in coaching is building relationships with the players as they improve over time. “Watching players develop in our program on the field and in the classroom is a rewarding experience,” Rountree said. “I enjoy seeing our players set goals, work their plan and accomplish them.” Rountree is married to the former Kim Dupree of San Diego, Calif. and has two daughters, Caysee and Shelby Griffith.

FRAN ANDERMANN
ASSISTANT COACH • NINTH SEASON UPPER IOWA, 2000
COACHING STAFF
58
Entering his ninth season as the hitting coach for Bulldog baseball, Fran Andermann will once again lead a high-powered offense onto the field during the 2011 campaign as Tech returns 20 letterman including four starters who belted 10-plus homeruns last season. Under Andermann’s tutelage Louisiana Tech baseball fans have seen some of the most prolific hitting teams in Tech history over the past eight years. During the 2010 season Andermann’s offense shattered four single-season school records for hits (697), runs (484), doubles (141) and RBI (441) while a total of five student-athletes were tabbed all-WAC. In total, the Bulldogs finished the season ranked amongst the NCAA leaders in 10 offensive categories including rankings in the top 25 in team batting average, scoring, home runs per game and slugging percentage. The Bulldogs’ .336 batting average last season marked the highest total since the 1958 squad hit at a .343 clip. Against conference opponents, there was no drop off offensively as Tech hit a blistering .363 against WAC schools. Andermann’s instruction not only directly correlated to numerous team records falling, but he was also instrumental in various individual marks being set – most notably with NCBWA Pre-Season First Team All-American and ABCA All-South Central Region performer, Devon Dageford. In just two years under Andermann’s instruction, Dageford ranked sixth in school history for career batting average at .378, fourth in career home runs (40) and tied for 10th in school history with 325 total bases. Furthermore, the slugger established a new school record with 21 doubles in a season while his 85 hits in a season was the second most in program history. In 2009 Louisiana Tech hitters etched their names into the Tech record books in a number of different categories offensively. As a team the Bulldogs tied the 2007 team’s record of 408 RBI in a season. The team also hit 92 homeruns which was second most all-time at LA Tech. The team also totaled the second highest batting average ever at Tech at .323 as well as scoring the third most runs in Tech history with 438, trailing only the 2007 and 1988 teams. Tech’s offense was also ranked nationally in a number of categories. The Bulldogs ranked 11th nationally in homeruns per game, 13th in slugging percentage, 16th in total team home runs, 22nd in the nation in scoring, 46th in batting average and 64th in total runs scored. 2008’s team had its fair share of stars in the outfield as well. Jericho Jones finished the season leading the team with
a .364 batting average and a .611 slugging percentage, earning All-WAC First Team honors. Centerfielder Adam Cobb concluded the season in the top three of several statistical categories among the Bulldogs, including batting average, hits, runs, doubles, triples and stolen bases. He was awarded All-WAC Second Team honors. Tech recorded one of its most productive seasons offensively in history in 2007 with an overall batting average of .310. The team compiled the most hits (642), runs (447) and RBIs (408) in Tech history. Under Andermann’s leadership, outfielder Brian Rike was named Tech’s first-ever WAC Player of the Year with a .346 average, 20 home runs and 66 RBI. Rike was also named to three All-America teams after the 2007 season. The 2006 team had an overall batting average of .311, third-best in Tech history, and hit 64 home runs. Led by freshman Jericho Jones who was not only awarded WAC Freshman of the Year, but he was also named to the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American team. Jones batted .370 on the year and slugged 16 home runs. His home run total shattered the previous freshman home run total, which was 13 home runs, set by T.J. Soto in 1996. While helping produce some of the best hitting teams in school history Andermann has had 15 former hitters receive All-WAC honors. Two of the 15 received the award twice, Brandon Hudson (2005 & 2006) and Jericho Jones (2006 & 2007). Tech head coach Wade Simoneaux hired Andermann after becoming head coach in August 2002. “Fran brings a lot of baseball experience to the table, he coached with me for 15 years in American Legion and Connie Mack baseball,” Simoneaux said. During his tenure, Andermann’s team accomplished 10 state American Legion titles, four American Legion World Series appearances, one Connie Mack state title and one Connie Mack World Series appearance. He also has seven years of major league scouting experience. Andermann is married to his wife Pamela and has two daughters, Lindsay and Cassie. Lindsay is married to Jerehmiar Maturin of New Iberia and the couple has three children. Cassie is married to Jules Guste of Slidel and they have one child. Both couples reside in Houston, Texas. Andermann is a 1968 graduate of Ascension Catholic High School and a 2000 graduate of Upper Iowa University where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in management. He also served in the United States Marine Corps and brings a strong, discipline approach to the game. “Fran has become one of the best hitting instructors in the South,” Simoneaux said. “His relentless work ethic has turned many average hitters into exceptional hitters. His hands-on approach has made a tremendous difference in the way our guys perform.”

DR. DAVID SZYMANSKI
ASSISTANT COACH • FIRST SEASON LSU-SHREVEPORT, 2009
Dr. David Szymanski begins his fourth season as a member of the Bulldog baseball staff after joining in 2007 as a volunteer assistant. He is now the strength and conditioning coach. He is a full-time assistant professor of exercise physiology in the Department of Kinesiology at Tech. “It would be hard to replace what Coach Szymanski does with our players in the weight room and with their run techniques,” Tech head coach Wade Simoneaux said. “He does an outstanding job year-round.” Szymanski is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with distinction through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and has been involved in training baseball players since 1992. Before coming to Tech, he served as the exercise physiologist for the Auburn University Baseball Team where he trained, tested and evaluated the players’ athletic performance. Through his evaluation, Szymanski established baseball-specific workouts and training methods. He has continued the same regime with the Bulldogs. This year, the Bulldog batters will also perform vision training using Vizual Edge® Performance Training software in attempts to further enhance their “on-field” hitting performance. Szymanski played at Texas Lutheran and later served as an assistant baseball coach and recruiting coordinator for the Southwestern Athletic Conference school for four years. He is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine and the NSCA. He has had multiple articles published on ways to improve baseball performance and has given presentations on sport-specific training and ways to improve throwing and bat swing velocity. In the fall of 2006 he completed a 12-week training study in which players from five local high schools participated. Szymanski also has been collecting baseball-specific data, including strength, power, speed, agility, body composition, and throwing and bat velocities for the last three years with the players on Tech’s team. He presented his findings at the NSCA’s National Conference in Las Vegas last summer. He completed his bachelor’s degree in fine arts and kinesiology at Texas Lutheran and completed his master’s in physical education at Texas State, before earning his doctorate in exercise physiology at Auburn. A native of LaGrange, Ill., Szymanski is married to the former Jessica Gaytan of Seguin, Texas. Jessica was an AllAmerican middle blocker for the Texas Lutheran volleyball team and is an interim instructor in the Department of Kinesiology. The couple has two sons, Dawson (6) and Justin (4).

COACHING STAFF
A native of Baton Rouge, Porche began his collegiate career at Tech prior to transferring to Louisiana State University in Shreveport where he was instrumental in the Pilot’s first ever regular season Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championship team in 2005. During his four seasons in Shreveport, Porche led LSUS to three consecutive GCAC tournament championships from 2006-08 as the squad finished as the Region XIII runners-up on three occasions. “He has tremendous catching experience,” said Simoneaux. “He is the son of a coach and he is a good kid and a family man. He’ll work with our catchers predominantly and be our bullpen coach during the season while helping out with scouting reports. He’s a good young man that will work hard for us.” While in school, Porche assisted LSUS associate head coach Chris Bertrand with the Gametime Academy Angels 18U baseball team during the summer of 2007 and 2008. The Angles notched back-to-back quarterfinal appearances in the Premier Baseball World Championships while totaling four tournament titles. After his eligibility expired as a student-athlete, Porche spent the 2009 season as a student assistant under head coach Rocke Musgraves while finishing his undergraduate degree before he was promoted to graduate assistant during the 2010 season. As a graduate assistant, Porche instructed both outfielders and catchers while assisting Musgraves with the Pilot offense as the team captured the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tournament Championship in 2010. Under the direction of Porche, the LSUS offense established single-season school records in runs scored (614), walks (366) and homeruns (103) during the 2009 campaign. In his two seasons on the Pilots coaching staff, Porche instructed OF Chase Wentz, an 18th round selection in the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft and C Andrew Brouillette, a 2010 all-American honoree. Porche will assist with the development of Tech’s catchers and will serve as the bullpen coach during the season. In addition to helping out in the scouting department for the Bulldogs, Porche will also assist Dr. David Szymanski with the strength and conditioning program. Currently pursuing a masters of kinesiology in sports performance at Louisiana Tech, Porche is married to the former Crystal Jones of Bossier City.

Clint Ewing ended the no-hit bid with a solo shot. Ultimately, Ewing and Ashton Hughes had Tech’s lone hits on the evening as the Bulldogs were eliminated from the Western Athletic Conference tournament. Despite the pitching woes, Tech managed to turn in 27 wins including Wade Simoneaux’s 200th career win as a collegiate head coach. Moreover, during the past five seasons Simoneaux has totaled 147 wins including two 30-plus win seasons. The five year stretch marks the most successful period for a Bulldog head coach since Pat Patterson and Mike Kane combined to win 171 games between 1988 and 1992.

crued in the inning and ultimately fell, 10-9. After dropping a tight contest in game one of the series, Tech was unable to figure out Texas’ Taylor Jungmann as the pitcher held the Bulldogs to just five hits and two runs in a 13-2 route. On senior night against Central Arkansas, the Bulldogs avenged their early season loss to the Bears as four Bulldogs hit home runs led by Mark Threlkeld’s multiple homerun outing. The sophomore standout totaled three hits and three RBI on the night as Casey Jones allowed two hits over 5.0 innings to earn the win. In their final four game series of the season against Nevada, the Bulldogs only managed to take game two of the series as the Wolf Pack outscored Tech by a total of 19 runs. Prior to the WAC tournament, Clint Ewing, a civil engineering major, was named ESPN The Magazine’s Academic All-American for his efforts both on the field and inside the classroom. Through his junior season, the Tech catcher had maintained a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Ewing becomes only the 14th studentathlete in school history to be named Academic All-American and the first baseball player to receive such an honor. Entering the WAC Tournament as the fifth-seeded team, the Bulldogs would open up play with Hawai’i. In a game that would see Clint Stubbs fall just a single shy of the cycle, the Bulldogs would be upended in extra innings as Hawaii’s Kolten Wong hit a two out walk-off two run homerun in the bottom of the tenth inning to lift the Rainbows over Louisiana Tech 8-7, pitting Tech in an elimination game against Nevada. Against the Wolf Pack, the Bulldog offense had no answer for Tom Jameson of Nevada. The Nevada starter breezed by the Tech lineup and took a perfect game into the eighth inning before junior

ADMINISTRATION

There’s a lot to look forward to at Louisiana Tech, as university President Dan Reneau knows well. The university is growing with the increased enrollment of students and the construction of new facilities. Under Reneau’s leadership, the university is on track in its long-term Tech 2020 goal, a strategy to ensure the university stays in tune with academic, economic, and research trends in the state, region, and nation. “The transformation of higher education in Louisiana is taking place before our eyes,” Reneau said. “The faculty and staff of Louisiana Tech have chosen to use this transformation as an opportunity to strengthen their institution through a collective and progressive recruitment and retention effort.” The university has continually thrived with Reneau at the helm in a variety of areas, including: * New construction and renovation of buildings. Currently, the first buildings of Tech’s Enterprise Campus are being constructed, and renovations include the expansion of the Maxie Lambright Intramural Center, the Technology Transfer Center and the Visual Arts Center. The $20 million Quest for Excellence initiative was also announced in Summer 2010, and plans are in the works for the construction of a 90,000-plus square-foot multipurpose facility in the south end zone of Joe Aillet Stadium. The new facility will benefit all student athletes and will include a state-of-the-art sports medicine facility, a new strength and conditioning complex and a new academic center. * All-time high average ACT score of entering freshmen. The average ACT score of beginning freshmen increased from 22.5 in the fall of 2004 to 23.5 in the fall of 2009. * Received national accolades. The university was ranked among the nation’s best colleges and universities and moved up to a Tier 3 ranking by U.S. News and World Report’s 2010 Best Colleges publication. In addition, Louisiana Tech achieved the state’s highest ranking among public colleges and universities, according to Washington Monthly’s 2009 College Rankings. * Performance-based Funding. Tech fared better than all Louisiana public universities for performance-based funding. * National bookstore chain comes to campus. Barnes & Noble bought out the bookstore and will offer more book selections with plans to expand in three to five years. * Increased enrollment recognized. In Fall 2009, Louisiana Tech’s total enrollment stood at 11,289 students, which represents an addition of 339 students, an increase of 3.1 percent. Reneau is leaving a lasting legacy with Louisiana Tech, especially with the engineering program. Reneau graduated with his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Tech in 1963 and received his master’s in the same subject in 1964. He received his Ph.D. in 1966 from Clemson University. Reneau became a faculty member at Tech in 1967 as an assistant professor of chemical engineering and made his way up the ladder to associate professor in 1969 and a full professor in 1973. Reneau’s professional experience includes serving as a research engineer for both Esso and Humble oil companies and as a consultant for five other corporations and universities. Reneau also has studied abroad at Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz, West Germany, as an Alexander-von-Humbolt Stiftung visiting professor and also to England at Cambridge and Bristol universities as a visiting professor. At Tech, Reneau established the biomedical engineering department and was named its head in 1972. The department became the fifth accredited department for its undergraduate curriculum in the United States, and the doctoral program was awarded a commendation of excellence by the Board of Regents. In 1980, Reneau was promoted to vice president for academic affairs, serving as the chief academic officer to some 400 faculty in six colleges and three professional schools with more than 160 different degree programs. During his tenure as vice president, every major program became accredited, and he was also instrumental in
establishing the Center for Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science. Reneau was selected as the university’s 13th president Feb. 20, 1987, and the public endorsed their new president before the decision was even made. The university paper, The Tech Talk, issued a rare endorsement for the Tech alumnus; the Student Government Association supported his selection through a resolution sent to Baton Rouge; many faculty members circulated a petition for his appointment; and even the Faculty Senate gave Reneau a stamp of approval. When hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Louisiana coast in 2005, under Reneau’s leadership, Tech welcomed hundreds of evacuees and offered them shelter in Caruthers Residence Hall. Tech also opened its doors to students from various universities in New Orleans as well as the Tulane University football team. Tech continues to flourish under Reneau’s leadership. In 2007, the university and its president received a glowing review from a team led by national educational consultant James Fisher. Tech’s graduate programs continue to prosper, as well. A total of ten doctoral degrees are now available at Tech, including a new doctoral program in industrial and organizational psychology that began in 2009. In 2007, Tech produced the first graduate in the world who holds a bachelor’s degree in nanosystems engineering. Last year, Tech reported a record graduate student enrollment with graduate enrollment totaling 2,530, an increase of 9.3 percent. As Tech holds strong to its 2020 goal, progress is echoed by research, such as a study conducted by the Applied Research Technology Corporation of Baton Rouge. The study shows that Louisiana Tech students have an annual statewide spending impact of $145 million and contribute over 56 hours of volunteerism per student, per year. Over the past 10 years, 65 percent of Tech’s graduates have stayed in Louisiana with total earnings of nearly $1 billion. “One of Louisiana Tech’s greatest strengths has always been the quality of its students,” Reneau said. “Their success, both during and after college, will impact not only the future of our university, but also the future of our region and our state. As a campus community, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to continue recruiting, educating and graduating the next generation of Louisiana’s leaders.” Reneau, a native of Woodville, Miss., was born June 11, 1940. He started as a student at Tech in 1959 and met his wife, the former Linda Digby, of Bernice, while a student at Tech. Reneau and his wife have two children, John and Dana, who are both Tech alumni as well. John lives in Las Vegas, and Dana lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, Jim Bernhard, and their two sons, Michael and Ben.

During the 2009-10 season, Tech saw 94 student-athletes earn Academic all-WAC honors for their work in the classrooms while senior sprinter Antoinette Cobb earned the Honda Inspiration Award for her work both on the track and in the classroom while overcoming a battle with cancer. Van De Velde came to Tech with impressive credentials, having served as an administrator in intercollegiate athletics for over 20 years. Van De Velde served as athletics director at Iowa State University and Utah State University and as a senior administrator at the University of Oklahoma, University of Missouri and Kansas State University. Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State University included an unprecedented five bowl appearances in six years and the highest national AP football poll ranking (9th) in school history. Iowa State’s 2001 average football attendance of 45,172 reached its highest watermark in 18 years. In 2002 and 2003, total football attendance exceeded 300,000; the most at ISU in two decades. The emergence of the Cyclone football program on a national stage with Van De Velde at the department helm was affirmed in 2002 when Iowa State was chosen to play No. 1 Florida State University in the Eddie Robinson Classic. During Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State, the men’s and women’s basketball teams won Big XII conference championships and participated in the 2001, 2002 and 2005 NCAA basketball tournaments. Van De Velde, with a track record for generating revenue, increased the total annual operating revenues for the Cyclone athletic department from $19.6 million to $30 million dollars over a five year period. Revenue generated from fundraising, ticket sales, marketing and corporate sponsorships, licensing, radio and television reached all-time highs during his tenure.

Bruce Van De Velde was named Louisiana Tech’s athletics director in February of 2010 by Louisiana Tech President Dr. Dan Reneau. “Bruce is well qualified by national standards to fill the position of athletics director at Louisiana Tech,” Reneau said. “I feel that we made an excellent choice in selecting him to lead Tech athletics to national prominence and to serve the needs of our student-athletes.” Van De Velde, who joined the University in June of 2008 as deputy athletics director and chief operating officer, took over full leadership of a department that fields 16 NCAA Division I sanctioned programs, including nine women’s and seven men’s sports, that compete in the highly-competitive Western Athletic Conference. “It is an honor to be named as the director of athletics at Louisiana Tech University,” Van De Velde said. “I look forward to serving our student-athletes, faculty, staff, alumni and fans. Our vision is to build a program to a level where we can be associated with universities that aspire to academic and athletic excellence at the highest level. “This goal is consistent with the vision President Reneau has established for the University which is to become north Louisiana’s premier national research university. In order to accomplish this vision we must engage all of our 80,000 alumni, fans and supporters and ask them for their participation. It takes resources to achieve our goal, and we need every one to support the program.” During his tenure Van De Velde has been instrumental in a number of accomplishments that have helped further the advancement of the University’s athletic department, including: • Developed, negotiated and implemented $6.75 million multi-media and marketing rights agreement with Learfield Communications. Contract more than doubled revenue derived from corporate sponsorships and created state-wide radio network for Louisiana Tech athletics. Negotiated purchase of $1.6 million Daktronics large screen high-definition video board for Joe Aillet Stadium. • Upgraded ticket operations by negotiating new contract with Ticketmaster.

and graduation rates for minority student-athletes more than tripled during Van De Velde’s tenure. In 2004-05, Iowa State was one of eight universities nationally to have its football team win a bowl game and have its men and women’s basketball teams participate in the NCAA tournament. The Sporting News in 2001 rated Iowa State as the seventh best athletic program among more than 115 NCAA Division I-A programs nationally. The ranking considered competitive success, graduation rates, fan support and NCAA compliance to determine national rank. During his time as athletic director at Utah State University, Van De Velde made his mark by hiring Stew Morrill as the head men’s basketball coach. Morrill has guided Utah State to nine straight postseason tournaments and is the winningest coach in the history of the Utah State program. While serving as the associate athletic director for football operations under head coach Bill Snyder at Kansas State University, Van De Velde was part of the resurrection of Wildcat football in Manhattan as the program became a national power participating in five bowl games. Van De Velde was recipient of the Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Award at the 1997 Holiday Bowl for his contributions to the Kansas State football team when the nationally ranked Wildcats finished with a 10-2 record. As the senior associate athletic for external affairs at the University of Oklahoma, Van De Velde served as the senior administrative officer for the athletic department and oversaw the areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, media relations and licensing. Van De Velde managed units that generated in excess of $35 million in annual revenues. Van De Velde directed the Campaign for Sooner Sports, a $100 million dollar capital campaign to fund facility improvements and scholarships. As associate athletic director for development at the University of Missouri, Van De Velde planned and initiated a $50 million dollar capital campaign for facility improvements for the Sports Park at MU. Van De Velde received the General Robert Neiland Award from the National Football Foundation in 2005 for his service and contributions as an athletic director. Throughout his career in college athletics, Van De Velde has served on numerous NCAA committees including the Championships and Competition Cabinet, the Football Issues Committee, the Financial Aid Committee and the Peer Review Committee for NCAA certification. He and his wife Debbie, who is a Kansas State alum and who works in the LA Tech College of Business, are the proud parents of 10-year-old daughter, Ashley who is entering the fourth grade.
MARY KAY
HUNGATE
Deputy Athletics Director/ Senior Woman Administrator Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate returns for her 26th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech athletics department and has proven to be an integral part in the recent emergence of the Tech teams on the playing fields and in the classroom. Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, women’s bowling and women’s volleyball, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs.
As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech athletics department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that has been instrumental in garnering a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award - which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service. The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 the past two years in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation. Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of coaches. Hungate proved instrumental in the decision by former Tech Kodak All-American and WNBA All-Star Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late-80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon was promoted to head coach in February of 2009 where she led the Lady Techsters to the WAC regular season title and a berth in the WNIT. This past season, she led Tech to the 2010 WAC Tournament title and a return to the NCAA Tournament. She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and head women’s volleyball coach Matt Sonnichsen. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to two straight winning seasons the past two years - the first in program history - and the program’s first ever WAC victory. In only his second season at the helm, Sonnichsen, who was a three-time All-American and two-time National Champion during his playing days at UCLA, led the Lady Techsters to 15 wins - the most since 2005 - as well as a program record in WAC victories. Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report), including ranking No. 1 in the state of Louisiana and the Western Athletic Conference in recent years. This past year eight of the 16 NCAA sanctioned programs at LA Tech earn their highest multi-year APR score ever while 94 studentathletes earned Academic all-WAC honors. Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 2006, LA Tech completed its second NCAA Certification cycle and once again was certified without conditions. Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988. In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program. Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/ Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/ Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004. She currently serves on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. In addition, along with Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde, she represents the athletics department as an ex-officio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council. Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament. In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation. During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.
