“ Being a student and an athlete at the same time has its challenges, but is totally worth it. I wouldn’t have been able to do any of this without the amazing teachers at Tech … And the quarter system is absolutely amazing! We only have to take four classes at a time, plus we get more vacation/breaks than any other school.”

BRAD HERMAN heads up the Louisiana Tech athletics academic center to help the University’s student-athletes excel in the classroom and ultimately earn their degrees, something that is the No. 1 goal for the administration and coaches at Tech.

“ One of my best experiences this year has been to study and play tennis at Louisiana Tech University. It was difficult to get away from my family, but here the people are very friendly, fun and help you at all, so now I feel at home. I am very happy in the field of my sport (tennis) because Coach Gomez has helped me during the time that I’ve been here. He does the best he can and helps us to improve our tennis, studies and daily life. ” - Alexandra Starkova, Sophomore (Madrid, Spain)

With opportunity comes responsibility and we understand that playing soccer at the NCAA Division I level is a privileged opportunity. We must take on board and embrace the responsibilities which come with that privilege. One such responsibility is to give back and help with the local community.

The community as well as the players themselves will benefit from such service. It is central to our team philosophy.”

LADY TECHSTER SOCCER COMPLEX

L A D Y 2 0 1 3

T E C H S T E R S O C C E R

The Lady Techster Soccer Complex begins its fifth season of existence in 2013 as the home field for the Louisiana Tech soccer team.

Located across the street from their previous home, Joe Aillet Stadium on Alabama Ave., the Lady Techster Soccer Complex features a press box, permanent bleachers, sound system, scoreboard and recently mounted stadium lights.

Starting in late February, 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.

“These lights will help the team stay out of the unforgiving heat and help the team prepare more fully for each upcoming season,” said head coach Kevin Sherry. “There are so many people to thank that have played a big part in making this happen. We, as a program and the soccer community as a whole, are so deeply appreciative of this gift.”

In four seasons, the Lady Techsters have posted a 25-9-3 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 was also 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.

The 2012 season was a crapshoot for Louisiana Tech as to how it would play out on the soccer field.

Picked to finish dead last in the WAC with a squad of only two seniors returning, somehow 17 newcomers sparked an impressive 12-5-4 season that included an 11-game unbeaten streak, a 1-1 tie versus nationally ranked Denver and a fourth place finish to qualify for the conference tournament.

The 2013 Lady Techsters will be looking for a little déjà vu as 17 new-newcomers once again will take the field in hopes of repeating, and building, on last year’s success except this time it will be in the competitive Conference USA. “Going into C-USA is a step up in levels of soccer so it will be difficult to immediately replicate the kind of success and progress we had in the WAC,” said head coach Kevin Sherry. “I am confident though this group of young ladies will quickly learn and adapt which will see great benefits for us in the future.”

Techster. She later had a third decisive goal which tied for the most on the squad.

The offense was still hit or miss last season as LA Tech had stretches of not being able to find the back of the net so Sherry brought in four freshmen in Kailee Hervey, Madison Doll, Kathryn Sloan and Emily Griffin to provide added depth and striking ability.

FORWARD LA Tech loses their leading goal scorer at the forward position in Emily Brennan, but the team happily welcomes back redshirt junior Taylor Dennis who sit out last season due to a knee injury suffered in the very first fall practice.

Dennis ranks in the top 10 of most career goals scored and will join forces with two sophomores who had very productive freshman seasons in Laura LeFevour and Rosie Lethbridge.

“Laura has made great improvements since arriving last season and I think she will lead the forward line this year,” said Sherry. “The return of Taylor will give us a much needed boost with regards to creating and finishing scoring opportunities.”

LeFevour played in 20 matches, starting 14 of them, as a forward striker and went on to lead the team in assists with five and tied for second in points with 14.

Her season highlight came at WAC foe and now fellow C-USA member UTSA when she had the game-winning goal in overtime despite the team being down a player due to an issued red card.

Lethbridge started her season with a bang, netting the game-winning goals in her first two career matches as a Lady

In the midfield is where the Lady Techsters took the biggest hit as they lost four key contributors who had a combined 57 starts last season.

Anchoring the position this year though will be first team all-LSWA honoree Brittany Beddow. Beddow, a Keller, Texas native, started in 20 of the 21 matches last year and led LA Tech in points with 16 on six goals and four assists.

She had her breakout moment midway through the season at UT Tyler when she played all 100 minutes of a match before scoring the golden goal in the first overtime period off her left foot.

The lone other returners joining Beddow in the midfield are fellow sophomores Erica Stewart and Keely Davis. Stewart was the most improved player on the roster last season and is a player to watch for this upcoming year after a tremendous offseason.

“The midfield group is probably the most exciting group of players we have for the upcoming season,” said Sherry.

“There is a great mix of talented returners and hungry freshmen who will provide us with more speed.”

With the possession-style soccer the team plays it will be vital for this large group of incoming midfielders, Chelsea Billups, Annabel Prior, Hannah Dauzat, Fern Colepio and Charity Simmons, to have the skill of up-tempo ball passing that coach Sherry desires.

The backline took a big blow as well after allowing just 15 goals and notching 12 shutouts, both program records.

Only two returning defenders return in sophomores Nicole Jaquemet and Taylor Douglas. Jaquemet brings the most experience of the two after seeing action in 20 games, including 15 starts.

The revamped backline adds six newcomers, Madison McCann, Taylor Montoya, Alexandra Fiorvento, Jessica Harmon, Marjolein Timmermans and Jenny Bitzer, to help solidify the position.

“The backline will be almost completely new, but the incoming players are very talented and I believe they will provide us with an even stronger defensive unit,” said Sherry.

Louisiana Tech will face lots of familiar foes during the non-conference portion of their 2013 schedule, but once the Lady Techsters kick off their inaugural C-USA season many first ever meetings will take place.

LA Tech’s campaign opens up on the road against LSU on Aug. 23 with many more road challenges around the corner as the schedule consists of 13 of the 20 matches away from Ruston.

“The schedule is tough because there are no easy games in NCAA Division I soccer,” said Sherry. “Being on the road so much will certainly help toughen the players up, which is important. It doesn’t get much tougher than playing at LSU on day one.”

The second match of the season is the home opener against Central Arkansas on Aug. 25 which will be the first ever night match at the Lady Techster Soccer Complex under the newly installed lights.

The Lady Techsters will put on their traveling shoes once again as the next seven matches will be on the road starting at Jackson State, followed by their renewed appearance in the Trojan Classic Tournament in Troy, Ala. versus host team Troy and South Alabama.

In-state matchups at ULL, McNeese State and Grambling State, as well as a return game at UALR, take place before LA Tech returns home to round out the non-conference schedule versus Southern.

Having played all 10 non-conference opponents at least once before in the program’s nine-year history, the schedule then shifts to 10 Conference USA games with seven of those teams being unfamiliar faces.

“Having developed the program to be competitive in the WAC and then to be put into the soccer powerhouse C-USA is going to be a challenge,” said Sherry. “C-USA soccer is very strong.”

The much anticipated Conference USA play starts on Sept. 27 with the Lady Techsters opening up on the road against Tulsa.

GOALKEEPER In goal returns the only senior on the roster Caitlin Updyke who owns almost every goalkeeping record at LA Tech. Updyke is itching to get back on the field after suffering a season-ending arm injury midway through the season.

Prior to her injury, she was putting together another stellar year with a 6-0-2 record and five shutouts.

Two freshmen, Kylee Seto and Faith Washington, will battle to back up Updyke.

“It is essential to have at least two top keepers pushing each other in practice,” said Sherry. “Competition makes

six 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 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.

Two of his seniors from two years ago became the first Lady Techsters ever to join professional soccer teams. Defender/ forward Scotti Culton joined the Colorado Rapids Women based out of Fort Collins, Colo. of the W-League and defender/forward Olivia Lukasewich joined the Spartans Women’s and Girls’ Football Club of the Scottish Women’s Premier League.

The Premier League is the highest level of women’s soccer in Scotland.

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, 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 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

Head Coach

Kevin Sherry begins his seventh season as head coach of the Lady Techsters and his 13th 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 to a 12-5-4 record that included an 11-game unbeaten streak and a 1-1 tie with No. 19 ranked Denver.

At the start of the season, Sherry was charged with replacing 17 players and brought in a group with 16 freshmen and a sophomore transfer. 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 four consecutive school years. The award recognizes teams that have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or better.

Of the 502 collegiate women’s soccer programs, Sherry’s squad was ranked 13th for the 2011-12 academic school year for the highest average GPA (3.57) with only six Division I teams holding a higher GPA. 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

recognized for their significant improvement from their 2007 campaign when they went 2-14-1. Sherry and Co. posted a 10-5-5 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

Sherry has international coaching experience as well as he was the head men’s soccer coach at Nagoya Gakuin University and the Aichi F.C. Nagoya junior youth head coach in Japan prior to his four-year stint at Graceland. He also worked as the director of soccer coaching and player youth development for the Al Nahda national schools organization in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates from 1992-93.

Sherry got his first-ever head coaching job at Burlington Danes High School in London in 1987. During his five years at the institution, the school won the West London Area Cup at every age level and also won the prestigious London Championship two straight years. One of his former players, Danny Dichio, formerly played for the MLS club Toronto FC from 2007-09. Sherry also headed the West London Schools F.A. select teams from 1989-92. He served as the head coach for the U-16 select team from 1991-92

and the U-15 select team from 1989-90.

As a student-athlete, Sherry played for the West London Institute of Higher Education and won the British National College Championship in 1987. He was selected to play for the FISEC Great Britain U-18 team and went on to play for Bangor City in the United Kingdom and Morning Star in Hong Kong.

Sherry earned degrees in physical education/sports science and sociology from Bangor University in Wales, along with his master’s from Leicester University in England. He possesses the United States Soccer Federation’s “A” license and the U.E.F.A. “International” coaching license from England.

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. For Sherry’s efforts, he was named NSCAA Central Region NAIA Women’s Coach of the Year.

While being head coach at Graceland, Sherry also served as head coach of the Des Moines Menace U-15 Boys Super Y League and worked with the Iowa Olympic Development program.

Assistant Coach

Louisiana Tech women’s soccer head coach Kevin Sherry announced in January that Josh Wagenaar has been named the team’s new assistant coach.

A former standout goalkeeper in Canada, Wagenaar joins the Lady Techster coaching staff after serving for three years as the men’s and women’s goalkeeper coach at Graceland University.

“I feel very honored to have been given this tremendous opportunity at LA Tech to work with the women’s soccer team,” said Wagenaar.

“I am looking forward to getting out on the field with the ladies in the coming weeks.”

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.

“I felt it was very important to hire a qualified and experienced goalkeeper coach to help take this program to the next level,” said Sherry.

“Josh has the appropriate goalkeeper coaching qualifications, has been very successful in his time as an assistant coach at Graceland University and has extensive professional playing experience as a goalkeeper. This is a great hire for the program and we are excited to have Josh on board.”

As a player, Josh has 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.

Wagenaar earned a degree in Business Administration in May of 2012 from Graceland University and possesses an NSCAA National Coaching diploma and NSCAA Level III Goalkeeping diploma.

After a storied career at Louisiana Tech as a player, former Techster great Kiva Gresham returned to Ruston, La. as an assistant coach for Kevin Sherry midway through the 2012 season.

Gresham graduated from Tech in the spring of 2011 and decided to move back home to Albuquerque, N.M. Since then she has continued to find herself on a soccer field, somewhere and somehow, despite her collegiate playing career being over.

“I’ve been home helping coach with the club team that I grew up Assistant Coach playing for, mostly little kids seven and eight years old,” said Gresham who was a four-time academic all-WAC honoree. “I also did a camp last summer in Massachusetts that was the Brookshire Soccer Academy and that was eight-to-13 year olds.”

The international sport also took her to the Caribbean for a coaching class in Trinidad and Tobago. Despite these long journeys to big cities, states and islands, the small town of Ruston always had a special place in her heart.

“I missed Ruston a lot,” said Gresham. “After you go away it’s like `man, I had a lot of friends there and a big soccer community.’ I have a lot of friends on the team too that I really missed.”

And why wouldn’t Ruston be a special place for her given the immediate and long-lasting impact she had that is still felt to this day at the Lady Techster Soccer Complex.

As a freshman, the forward out of Highland HS led the team in goals, assists and points. Her senior season in 2010 was record-breaking for the program as she took over season marks for most assists with eight and most points with 32.

“I miss being on the field a lot,” said Gresham who was a 2nd team All-WAC performer her senior year. “It’s kind of a different aspect, being coached and being on the field, but I’ve been playing just as much as I’ve been helping out.”

Recently, Gresham was selected as one of the lead instructors for the EXACT Soccer Elite Prospect camp. This unique college camp provide players with the opportunity to showcase individual skills and mental readiness.

Gresham joined other top instructors from NCAA programs such as North Carolina, Stephen F. Austin, Illinois, Dallas Baptist and Sam Houston State.

S O C C E R

From its beginning in 1995, Conference USA’s dedication to excellence has been the league’s guiding principle and remains a common thread today and for a promising future. Throughout the changes during the C-USA history, the conference has held onto its strong foundation that reflects the league’s national presence. These 16 schools have compiled numerous athletic and academic achievements. Additionally, the C-USA footprint will grow by nearly 20 percent, while providing the geography that allows for a divisional scheduling model that will be beneficial to the student-athletes, fan-friendly and cost effective.

Conference USA sponsors competition in 20 sports - nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 11 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and volleyball).

The league sponsors numerous academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom, in addition to sport specific All-Academic teams.

C-USA annually awards 12 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Conference USA also added a Spirit of Service Award, recognizing student-athletes three times a year for a combination of significant community service efforts, good academic standing and participation in their elected sport.

SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD

Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation.

Football 72 teams have earned bowl bids Member of the Bowl Championship Series Bowl tie-ins with the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl, Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, Heart of Dallas Bowl, Military Bowl, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl Men’s Basketball Consistently rated as one of the top basketball leagues in the country 108 postseason teams (50 NCAA, 42 NIT, 8 CBI, 8 CIT) One National Championship title game appearance Three Final Four teams Seven Elite Eight NCAA Tournament teams One NIT Champion and four NIT semifinalists Inaugural CBI Champion CIT Champion Women’s Basketball 48 NCAA Tournament appearances 43 WNIT appearances One team in the NCAA Sweet 16 Two WNIT semifinalists One WBI Champion Baseball 58 NCAA appearances Six College World Series appearances (2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2001) 14 Super Regional appearances Has produced at least four NCAA teams in nine of the last 12 seasons In addition, 37 volleyball teams, 67 men’s and women’s soccer teams and 39 softball teams have earned NCAA Tournament bids. CUSA has sent three men’s soccer teams to the NCAA College Cup, three softball teams to the Women’s College World Series and three volleyball teams to the Sweet 16. The league has also had nine national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 700 NCAA appearances.

SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD

C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that studentathletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 18 years, 176 student-athletes earned national Capital One Academic All-America honors, while 618 were named All-District. In addition, more than 26,000 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.

As one the largest FBS conferences in 2013, C-USA membership will include institutions in 12 of the Top 65 television markets, eight in the Top 40 and four in the Top 25 media markets according to Nielson. C-USA home markets next year will include more than 14.5 million TV households, a 43 percent increase from a year ago.

C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY

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.

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.

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 members of Conference USA in 2005.

S O C C E R

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.

A PROUD HISTORY

T E C H S T E R

The conference’s current footprint is concentrated with 16 members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 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.

L A D Y

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 that number just keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming.

University President

60

Louisiana Tech University and President Les Guice share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties that are deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Dr. Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater.

One of Dr. Guice’s first achievements at Louisiana Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of Professor Jack Painter, Dr. Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978.

While working on his master’s degree, Dr. Guice also discovered a passion for teaching and education as a profession.

Dr. Guice accepted a position as an assistant professor of civil engineering at Louisiana Tech in 1978 and was promoted to associate professor in 1981. A few short years after earning his Ph.D. in civil engineering from Texas A&M University in 1986, Dr. Guice was named the interim department head of civil engineering in Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering in 1988 and earned the permanent department head position and full professorship in 1989. As department head, Dr. Guice initiated the formation of the Civil Engineering Advisory Board and the Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumni recognition program, both of which significantly enhanced alumni participation and significantly enhanced fund-raising for the department.

Throughout the next decade, Dr. Guice would continue to distinguish himself as an academician, researcher, administrator and leader.

His dedication to his students, his faculty and the university would lead to his appointment as Dean of Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Dr. Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of curricula throughout the College.

Dr. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” that led advancement of the college and to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities.

Dr. Guice’s leadership also helped to guide the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) toward a focus on the emerging field of nanotechnology. With the hiring of key nanotechnology faculty in numerous disciplines, further expansion of research laboratories, establishment of an interdisciplinary engineering PhD program with a nanotechnology track, and initiation of a B.S. in Nanosystems Engineering, the IfM and COES established strong research and education nanotechnology programs that have received national recognition.

In 2004, Dr. Guice’s performance and accomplishments as dean of the College of Engineering and Science led to his appointment as Louisiana Tech’s vice president for research and development. During his tenure as vice president and as executive vice president in 2012, Louisiana Tech has significantly increased patents, licenses/options, start-up companies, SBIR grants with affiliated companies, and has established strong industry partnerships for commercialization of technologies. Dr. Guice also led the establishment of Louisiana Tech’s first two technology incubators, the Rawle and Humana Enterprise Centers.

With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Dr. Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus – a research park connecting the university and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations, including an Air Force funded Cyberspace Research Laboratory. With the recent completion of Louisiana Tech’s new College of Business building and renovation to University Hall as a home for interdisciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation activities, the first phase

LATechSports.com

of Enterprise Campus is nearing completion.

Dr. Guice’s reputation for exemplary leadership has not been bound by the campus or the region. Roles in statewide leadership have included election to serve as the founding Chair for the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) Management Council, serving as Chair of the Louisiana EPSCoR Committee, and leading the development of a statewide science and technology plan, called FIRST Louisiana. Dr. Guice currently serves as Chair of the Board of Regents Master Plan Research Advisory Council and as the University of Louisiana System’s representative on Governor Bobby Jindal’s Louisiana Innovation Council.

Among the many awards and recognitions Dr. Guice has earned during his career is the Robert E. Russ Award from the Ruston/Lincoln Parish Chamber of Commerce (2009), Outstanding Civil Engineer from the ASCE Louisiana Section (2008), Louisiana Tech University Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumnus (2007), Louisiana Engineering Society’s James M. Todd Technological Accomplishment Award (2007), Governor’s University Technology Leader of the Year Award (2006), and Louisiana Engineering Society A.B. Patterson Medal for an Engineer in Management (2004.)

On December 4, 2012, during a special session of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, Dr. Guice was unanimously voted to serve as the 14th President of Louisiana Tech University. Dr. Guice officially took over as President on July 1, 2013.

As President of Louisiana Tech, Dr. Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities in the U.S. News and World Report.

Dr. Guice leads a university that most recently has been ranked #11 in the nation in a list of “Most Underrated Colleges In America” (Business Insider), #17 in the nation in a list of “Low Cost Colleges with High Starting Salaries for Graduates” (Affordable Colleges Online), and #21 in the nation for providing its graduates with the best returns on their investments (AdvisorOne.) Throughout his career, Dr. Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Louisiana Tech, and continues that commitment as President. Dr. Guice’s focus on campus-wide engagement, building and growing relationships, and leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the university’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come.

Dr. Guice is a native of Monroe and grew up in Bastrop. He and his wife, Kathy, have three sons – Kyle, Chad, and Bret – and one grandson, Christopher.

TOMMY McClelland Director of Athletics

2 0 1 3

T E C H S T E R S O C C E R

@LATechSOC

McClelland devised a plan to resurrect the “M” Club for former student-athletes. He also negotiated a new syndicated radio network for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball. Included in that deal was the first ever radio station solely dedicated to broadcasting women’s basketball. McClelland also re-negotiated the football program’s TV replay contract, increasing the coverage area from one station to three different stations as well as the internet.

One of McClelland’s main goals was to improve the life of the student-athletes and increase the game-day experience for the McNeese State fan base. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals was by improving the facilities, something in which he succeeded.

During his time at McNeese State, he oversaw a combined total of over $11 million dollars in facility renovation and new construction.

The combination of increased revenue streams, renovations and new construction, and a highly-involved fan base led to plenty of success stories on the playing fields. During his tenure as athletic director, McNeese won Southland Conference championships in football (2007, 2009), soccer (2006, tournament; 2007, regular season), softball (2010, tournament; 2013, regular season), men’s basketball (2011, regular season), women’s basketball (2011, regular season; 2011 and 2012 tournament) and men’s cross country (2012). The women’s basketball program made its first appearances ever in the NCAA Tournament and the men’s basketball program hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tournament (Boston College live on ESPNU).

Even more impressive is the fact that while the Cowboy and Cowgirl programs were capturing titles on the fields, the University’s studentathletes were making tremendous strides in the classroom. In five of the six years, McNeese State led the Southland Conference with studentathletes being named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

In addition, McClelland guided the resurgence in APR success in Lake Charles. During his six years McNeese State, the number of athletic programs boasting the required APR score of 925 went from four to all 16 this past year. The community service hours performed by the MSU student-athletes also tripled to over 3,000 during his tenure.

“Tommy has a great knowledge of college athletics and excels at helping his student-athletes balance and succeed in their commitments to academics and athletics, said Warde Manuel, athletics director at the University of Connecticut. “Tommy has also proven his ability to work effectively with coaches and administrators to help his programs be successful.”

McClelland earned his bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State in 2004 before completing his master’s degree in sports administration in 2005. He walked on with the Demons football team and eventually earned a scholarship while he also competed in the javelin for the NSU track and field team.

The native of Basile, Louisiana, native served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events.

McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business.

McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson (3) and Grayson (2).

Louisiana Tech hired one of the rising young stars in the industry when University President Les Guice introduced Tommy McCelland as the new athletics director during a press conference held at the Charles Wyly Athletic Center on July 16.

McClelland, who is the youngest AD among all Football Bowl Subdivision athletic programs, joins the LA Tech Family after serving a six-year stint in the same position at McNeese State in Lake Charles.

“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to join the Louisiana Tech Family,” said McClelland. “This is an institution that has a great academic and athletic reputation throughout the country as well as a storied past and a bright future. There is positive momentum that comes from a new conference affiliation, a new president and great coaches. There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of the Tech Family.

“To the fans and supporters of Louisiana Tech, I want you to know that my family and I look forward to getting to know you all in the near future. This truly is an exciting time, and I am proud and honored to be your athletics director.”

Guice introduced McClelland to an overflowing room of Louisiana Tech supporters, coaches and administrators during the lunch-time press conference held in the Guthrie Jarrell Room.

“Tommy McClelland has demonstrated strong leadership skills and success in his early years as an athletics director,” said Guice. “He has an extraordinary blend of intellect, character, talent, and drive that makes him one of the top young athletics directors in the nation. He articulated a vision for Tech Athletics that is consistent with mine and compatible with my vision for our entire university.

“I am thrilled that we have him leading our athletics program as we make our move into Conference USA, and I know that our Tech Family will see the benefits of Tommy’s leadership skills in elevating our athletics program.”

McClelland has made a national name for himself during his career after quickly elevating to the athletics director position at age 26. He has earned high praise from a number of high-profile, experienced athletic administrators.

“Tommy McClelland is an outstanding leader and one of the nation’s rising stars in intercollegiate athletics,” said Bubba Cunningham, athletics director at the University of North Carolina. “He has a demonstrated commitment to supporting and developing his coaches and student-athletes, and has already become well-known amongst ADs for his leadership, vision, and character. Tommy has also shown a dedication to lifelong learning and the application of his skills and talents to making his athletic programs better.”

Prior to being named athletic director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008, McClelland served as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs at the university.

In his time at McNeese, McClelland and his staff had numerous success stories when it came to increased revenue streams and the overall game-day experience in Lake Charles. He started the “Partner with the Pokes” program that provides a smaller, more attractive sponsorship package for local small businesses. On top of the “Partner with the Pokes” program, McClelland raised over $3 million in private donations since April of 2007, and he was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships to nearly $1 million, while securing new clients and multiyear sponsorships.

McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales as the program eclipsed the 8,000 mark in 2008 with a high of 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single game attendance records in baseball, volleyball, softball, soccer, women’s basketball and women’s tennis.

In addition to increasing private and corporate donations as well as season ticket sales, McClelland was also successful with engaging the McNeese State fan base. He created and implemented the multicity summer “Cowboy Round-Up Tour,” which allowed McNeese State coaches, administrators and athletics staff to carry the department’s message and vision to fans and donors across the south.

“Tommy is a rising star in the college athletics administration field and, in my view, the ideal leader to advance Louisiana Tech’s athletics program as it transitions into Conference USA,” said Ian McCaw, athletics director at Baylor University. “He possesses impeccable integrity and has an extraordinary work ethic. Moreover, his interpersonal and relational skills are outstanding and will enable him to quickly connect with Bulldog fans as well as campus and community leaders.”

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.

LATechSports.com

“The Louisiana Tech Athletics Council has always done a great job of finding outstanding coaches and leaders, and they have certainly done that with the hire of Tommy McClelland as athletics director. Tommy is an up and comer, and clearly shares the same vision for Louisiana Tech that President Guice does. I know the coaches, players, administrators, and alumni will enjoy working with this dynamic leader. Tommy will take Tech Athletics to new heights.”

– Leo Sanford, Former NFL All-Pro Linebacker and Louisiana Tech Hall of Famer “I’ve known Tommy for a long time, and the character and integrity that he will bring to the university will not only surpass all our expectations but will make Louisiana Tech a model for athletic programs around the country to follow. I know him as a humble, hardworking, Christian man that will be a great influence and leader for our coaches and studentathletes alike.”

– Luke McCown, NFL Quarterback and Former Bulldog RecordSetting QB “I’ve known Tommy for a number of years and have admired the job he has done as athletics director at McNeese State. Tommy is a very bright and talented young administrator who knows what it takes to be successful in college athletics. I think the folks at Louisiana Tech have really made an excellent choice in selecting him as their next AD.” – R.C. Slocum, legendary Texas A&M head coach and College Football Hall of Famer “We are excited about the opportunity to work with Tommy McClelland. He has a solid track record and will certainly bring a high level of energy and innovation to the job of leading a great university.”

– Britton Banowsky, Conference USA Commissioner “Tommy has been a great asset to the McNeese State family and alumni base. His commitment and hard work are obvious. Louisiana Tech is a university with a great reputation, and Tommy is the right individual to lead them into a new era. We wish him well in his new position.”

– Chuck Kleckley, Speaker of the Louisiana State House of Representatives

In addition, Hungate and the current senior staff have also garnered a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service.

The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 three times in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation.

Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of coaches. Hungate proved instrumental in the decision by former Tech Kodak All-American and Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon has led the program to a trifecta of Western Athletic Conference titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances.

She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and women’s tennis coach Freddy Gomez. Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to five straight winning seasons (the first ones in program history), the program’s first ever WAC victories and its first appearances in the WAC Tournament in 2010 and 2012.

Gomez took a program that had won only one WAC match since the University joined the league in 2001 and in his first season (2012-13) led the Lady Techsters to a 7-1 mark in conference action and the No. 3 seed in the postseason tournament. Gomez accomplished this with a roster that included four freshmen and only two seniors.

Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has

Dr. James Liberatos enters his 16th year as faculty athletics representative for Louisiana Tech University.

Since arriving at Tech in 1989, Liberatos has been responsible for so much more than just molding young minds as a professor of biology. In 1996, he was named a member of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Council and in 1998 was elevated to chair of the council. Also in 1998, Liberatos started serving as chair of the Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame.

As faculty representative, Liberatos has been designated by the university to serve as a liaison between the institution and the athletics department, and also as a representative of the institution in conference and NCAA affairs. He does so to ensure that the academic institution establishes and maintains the appropriate balance between academics and intercollegiate athletics.

In 2002, Liberatos gained even more responsibilities as he was named dean of the College of Applied and Natural Sciences.

Associate A.D./Athletic Communications

Malcolm Butler begins his 15th year in the Louisiana Tech Athletics Department, his seventh as the associate athletic director in charge of communications.

A 1994 graduate of the Louisiana Tech journalism department, Butler joined the athletic department in July of 1999 as the assistant athletic media relations director. Butler was then promoted to director four months later and served in that capacity until the fall of 2007 when he was promoted to associate athletic director.

The Ruston native is in charge of media relations for women’s basketball, softball and men’s golf and also serves as the secondary contact for football while overseeing the daily operations for the entire department.

During his time at Louisiana Tech, Butler has been instrumental in promoting numerous high-profile student-athletes including record-setting quarterbacks Tim Rattay and Luke McCown, All-American women’s basketball players Tamicha Jackson and Cheryl Ford. He has also worked closely with a number of highly-successful head coaches, including 4-time Hall of Famer Leon Barmore, former Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley and current Lady Techster women’s basketball coach Teresa Weatherspoon.

Over the course of his tenure, Louisiana Tech’s Media Relations Department has proven to be one of the best in the state of Louisiana. Over the past 12 years, members of the Tech media relations department have won a total of 44 awards at the annual Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) state SID contest -- the second most behind only LSU. During that same period of time, Butler has garnered 27 of those awards which is second most among all state SIDs behind only LSU Associate Athletics Director Michael Bonnette (28).

Butler is part of a senior staff at LA Tech that has been instrumental in garnering a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award - which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service.

The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 three times in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation.

He was instrumental in the forming the partnership between Louisiana Tech and CBS Interactive in the fall of 2007 in the redesign and hosting of the athletic departments website, www.LATechSports.com.

The website has undergone three redesigns since the inaugural release.

As part of the agreement with CBS Interactive, a new webstreaming platform - LA Tech All-Access was created - which allows fans from all over the world to watch live streams of almost all of the university’s home athletic events. LA Tech All-Access annually streams more than 125 live events.

Butler has served as the host media coordinator for three NCAA Women’s Basketball First- and Second-Round sites hosted by Louisiana Tech (2000, 2001 and 2003) while also serving as the host media coordinator for the 2008 WAC Baseball Championships and the 2013 WAC Softball Championships hosted by Louisiana Tech in Ruston.

In addition to his media relations responsibilities, Butler has served as the radio play-by-play voice for the nationally-prominent Louisiana Tech Lady Techster basketball team for the past 14 years, including the past 13 as the play-by-play announcer. He finished in second place statewide in the LSWA College Radio Play by Play category in 2013 behind only LA

improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report).

This past year Tech student-athletes boasted an all-time high 76 percent four-year graduation success rate while the Bulldog golf team earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award for the third straight year. For the fifth consecutive year, Louisiana Tech saw impressive improvements in the majority of its Academic Progress Rates (APR) as all 16 of its NCAA sanctioned programs are penalty free for the third consecutive year.

Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 2006, LA Tech completed its second NCAA Certification cycle and once again was certified without conditions.

Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988.

In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program.

Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/ Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004.

During LA Tech’s time as a member of the WAC, Hungate served on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. She also currently represents the athletics department as an exofficio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council.

Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament.

In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation.

During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.
