nantais HEAD COACH @MattNantais

Matt Nantais enters his sixth year at the helm of the Louisiana Tech bowling team after leading the Lady Techsters to the five most successful seasons in program history. In the 2020-21 season, Louisiana Tech earned its highest ranking in program history as the Lady Techsters were ranked fifth in the National Tenpin Coaches Association February Poll. Tech made its first national championship appearances at both the 2021 National Collegiate Women's Bowling Championship and the Intercollegiate Team Championship (ITC). At the NCAA Tournament, the Lady Techsters registered the first perfect Baker game in program history after bowling

a 300. LA Tech competed in 14 events and placed in the top-five at nine tournaments during the 2020-21 season. Tech finished second at four tournaments, including the Southland Conference Championships. Senior Kailtyn Eder and sophomomre Allie Leiendecker were named to the 2021 All-Southland Bowling League Third Team. Leiendecker was also named a NTCA All-American honorable mention. Nantais led the Techsters to new heights in 2019-20, coaching a team without a senior to Louisiana Tech's first appearance in a USBC Sectional. Tech ranked no. 11 in the NTCA Coaches Poll throughout the season and notched a 64-34 record despite competing against the toughest schedule in Nantais' tenure. The Lady Techsters won the JSU Sonic Boom Invitational for the third year in a row and finished in the top-ten in every tournament they competed in. Tech also set a school record with 10 consecutive wins at the Northeast Invitational and 3 straight matches over 1,000 at the Music City Classic. In 2018-19, Louisiana Tech ranked in the Top 25 throughout the season, going 64-41 and winning two tournaments: the JSU Sonic Boom Invitational and Allstate Sugar Bowl. The Lady Techsters also earned acknowledgement from the NTCA for their work in the classroom with five student-athletes earning NTCA All-Academic Honors. On the lanes, Nantais coached Kaitlyn Eder to a spot on the Southland Conference first team and NTCA All-America honors. The sophomore led Tech in strikes (323), strike percentage (46.9%), spare conversion percentage (73.5%) and average per frame (20.01). Eder and Ashley Channell also earned Southland Conference All-Academic honors. In 2017-18, the Lady Techsters had an unparalleled year, notching 55 victories, and earning national rankings in the NTCA poll for the first time in school history. Nantais paced Tech to a program-best six top-10 finishes, including a tournament championship at the Jackson State Sonic Boom Invitational. Nantais saw impressive play from up and down his lineup in his second season, bolstered by the play of freshman Kaitlyn Eder. The rookie was named the National Rookie of the Year and an All-America Honorable Mention from the NTCA. She also earned a spot on Junior Team USA after a solid finish at the United States Bowling Congress Team USA Trials. The Lady Techsters defeated the no. 1 team in the nation and Nebraska, and throughout the course of the season, earned at least one triumph over every top-10 team in the nation. Tech finished the year ranked 20th among 80 D1 programs. In his first year in 2016-17, Tech made significant progress, earning a top-10 victory over Maryland Eastern Shore. The team also saw success outside the lanes, as Shelby Smith and Sarah McComic both earned all-academic recognition from the NTCA. Nantais was announced as the new head coach for the Louisiana Tech Bowling program on September 21, 2016. Nantais joined the program after spending the previous five seasons at Valparaiso. Nantais led Valparaiso over 300 victories in his five years at Valparaiso. That total includes a program-record 84 wins in his first season (2011-12), a season where the Crusaders ascended as high as #1 in the NTCA coaches poll and advanced to the 2012 NCAA Women's Bowling Championship, where the team finished in the final six. Nantais guided the Crusaders to 60 victories in 2012-13 and 59 wins in 2013-14, while last season saw the Crusaders earn 50 wins. Each of the last two seasons, Nantais has lined up a schedule for Valpo which ranks among the nation's toughest - slates which featured opponents among the top-ten in the nation for nearly half the team's matches. The Crusaders ended the 2014-15 campaign ranked 16th nationally, continuing the program's streak of being ranked in every single NTCA coaches poll since the program's inception. Under Nantais, the Valparaiso bowling program became a member of the Southland Bowling League during the 201415 campaign, a newly formed league of eight of the nation's top programs. The Crusaders finished in third place at the inaugural Southland Bowling League Championship in March of 2015. Over his four seasons, Nantais has seen nine bowlers earn All-Tournament Team honors, including Natalie Cortese at the NCAA Championship in 2012. He also coached Cortese as she earned NTCA Honorable Mention All-American status following her senior season, while Torrie Decker became the second bowler in program history to be named an Honorable Mention All-American for her work during the 2014-15 campaign. Nantais' bowlers have enjoyed success in the classroom as well over his three years at the helm. Cortese was an NTCA All-Academic Third Team selection in 2012, while the Crusaders have had 16 bowlers earn All-Academic recognition from the NTCA over the last three years. In addition, Valpo earned team academic recognition from the NTCA for the first time in 2014. Nantais came to Valparaiso after spending a season as an assistant coach for the women's squad at Robert Morris [Ill.] University. While there, Nantais helped guide the Lady Eagles as they reached the top spot in the nation in the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team national poll. Robert Morris went on to close the season with a fifth-place finish at the National USBC Team Championships, as well as a third-place showing at the NAIA Team Championships. Prior to joining the Robert Morris coaching staff, Nantais spent the 2009-2010 season as assistant coach for the Lake Central H.S. girl's team, which placed fifth in the state. During his year at Lake Central, he helped tutor current Crusader Kaity Galka. Nantais also previously spent two seasons (2006-2008) as head coach of the boy's team at North Newton H.S., and has served as a coach in the Stardust III (Dyer, Ind.) Junior Program since 1987. He received his USBC Bronze Certification in June of 2008 and followed up by earning his Silver Certification in October of 2008.

SEASON IN REVIEW LA Tech Makes History Louisiana Tech is coming off of a historic season as the team earned its highest ranking in program history as the Lady Techsters were ranked fifth in the National Tenpin Coaches Association February Poll. Tech made its first national championship appearances at both the 2021 National Collegiate Women's Bowling Championship and the Intercollegiate Team Championship (ITC). At the NCAA Tournament, the Lady Techsters registered the first perfect Baker game in program history after bowling a 300. LA Tech competed in 14 events and placed in the top-five at nine tournaments during the 2020-21 season. Tech finished second at four tournaments, including the Southland Conference Championships. Senior Kaitlyn Eder and sophomore Allie Leiendecker were named to the 2021 All-Southland Bowling League Third Team. Leiendecker was also named a NTCA All-American honorable mention.

Leiendecker Named NTCA All-American Honorable Mention Louisiana Tech sophomore bowler Allie Leiendecker was named a NTCA All-American honorable mention. Leiendecker is a two-time NTCA All-American after being named a second team All-American as a freshman in the shortened 2019-20 season. Leiendecker, an all-Southland Bowling League third team selection, was named to the all-tournament teams at both the LA Tech Invite and the Southland Bowling League Tournament. The Wooster, Ohio, native acted as Tech's primary anchor bowler during the 2020-21 season where she had a 10th frame average of 19.79, a 10th frame fill percentage of 82.9 and a 10th frame strike percentage of 48.1.

DR. LES

GUICE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT @LKGuice Louisiana Tech University and President Les Guice share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties 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. Most recently, Guice’s leadership in promoting a spirit of teamwork has helped the campus community and the City of Ruston work together to overcome the enormous challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic that came on the heels of the tornado that plowed through the campus and community in April 2019. Yet unparalleled educational experiences and unparalleled campus growth have continued, including in the following areas: • The Integrated Engineering and Science Building (IESB) opened in Fall 2020; • The brand new Origin Bank Baseball Complex that houses J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park, and the Origin Bank Softball and Soccer Complex, home to both Dr. Billy Bundrick Field (softball) and Robert Mack Caruthers Field (soccer) opened to rave reviews this year; • Green space, new intramural fields, and student housing along Tech Drive south of the railroad tracks neared completion as the Fall 2021 quarter began; • Plans are underway to build a much-needed Tech Pointe II; • Addition of new and/or improved parking lots north of the railroad tracks and west of Tech Drive, north of the railroad tracks and south of West Alabama Avenue, around the Business Building and the new dorms south of West California Avenue, and on the site of the old Business Building; • A renovation of the historical campus quadrangle and enhanced campus entrances; • Opening of the Hinckley Virtual Anatomy Lab; • And the ongoing demolition of old dorms along Tech Drive to make room for new housing are just some of the improvements.

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 BS 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 led to his appointment as Tech’s vice president for research and development. During his tenure as vice president and, beginning in 2012, as executive vice president, Tech has significantly increased patents, licenses/options, startup companies, SBIR grants with affiliated companies, and has established strong industry partnerships for commercialization of technologies. Dr. Guice also led the establishment of 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 completion of Tech’s new College of Business building and renovation to University Hall as a home for interdisciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation activities, the first phase of Enterprise Campus was completed. Dr. Guice’s reputation for exemplary leadership and service is further evidenced by the many statewide and Conference-USA-wide organizations he has founded or chaired, and he’s been honored with numerous awards, both locally and statewide. He recently completed a two-year appointment as Chair of the C-USA Board of Directors. As Tech’s president, 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 consistently receives high marks in affordability, in starting salaries for graduates, and in providing graduates with the best returns on investment. 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; he continues that commitment as president. Dr. Guice’s focus on campuswide 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 four grandchildren, Christopher, twins Everly and Elizabeth, and the youngest, Evie.

One of Dr. Guice’s first achievements at 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 at Louisiana Tech, 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 PhD 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 fundraising 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 programs 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,” which led to major 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

DR. ERIC A.

WOOD DIRECTOR of ATHLETICS/VICE PRESIDENT @EWOOD_AD Culture. Class. Competitive Excellence. Those are the pillars that Dr. Eric A. Wood has embraced and vocalized since stepping on the Louisiana Tech University campus last October. Wood was introduced as Vice President and Director of Athletics by University President Les Guice during a press conference held in the Chris Richardson Suite of the Joe Aillet Stadium Press Box on Oct. 23, 2020. The energy, enthusiasm and electric personality of the 22-year veteran of collegiate athletic administration instantly hit home with the Tech studentathletes, coaches, support staff and fan base. Wood, who came to Ruston following a five-year stint at UCF where he spent the past four years as the Deputy AD for Competitive Excellence, is the first African-American Vice President and the first minority Director of Athletics in the University’s history. He also becomes the first Director of Athletics in LA Tech history to also serve as a Vice President. “Eric’s record of accomplishment shows his qualifications, and interacting with him quickly convinces you he is something really special,” said Guice. “He is a dynamic, charismatic individual who leads with intelligence and character. It’s a rare combination, and we’re very fortunate to have him on our team.” During the first nine months in his new role, Wood has quickly made a name for himself within the LA Tech Family as well as Conference USA, as illustrated by his appointment as Chair of the Football Success Committee and the league representative to the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee. Despite earning his first ever AD opportunity during one of the most trying times in collegiate athletic history, Wood’s leadership helped Louisiana Tech gain momentum – both on and off the playing fields. And no surprise. It’s all a part of Wood’s #CompeteCompeteCompete mantra. The 2020-21 academic year saw a number of impressive team accomplishments, including the seventh straight bowl appearance by Bulldog Football, the West Division championship and a run to the NIT Final Four by Bulldog Basketball, the first ever appearance in the National Collegiate Women’s Bowling Championship by the Lady Techsters, and a Top 25 ranking, West Division title and first ever host of an NCAA Regional by Bulldog Baseball. Those team accomplishments helped Louisiana Tech finish fifth among Conference USA schools in the Learfield Directors Cup and 16th nationally among universities sponsoring 16 sports. Tech’s student-athletes also competed in the classroom. The past year saw 199 student-athletes named to the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll, the highest percentage ever. Another 54 were awarded the C-USA Academic Medal, the second most ever. Other impressive academic accomplishments included six Conference USA All-Academic Team honorees, nine CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict honorees (the most in University history and the second most by a league school this year), and three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (also a University single year record). On the fundraising front, the University saw a 60 percent growth in total gifts from the previous year ($5.1M to $8.1M) and a 23 percent growth in total donors. The Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC) saw a 19 percent growth in total donors, including a 100 percent participation by full-time athletic department employees (the first time ever on record). Tech also saw three seven-figure commitment made by individual donors on capital projects that support the Bulldog and Lady Techster student-athletes. The University also opened brand new facilities in JC Love Field at Pat Patterson Park, Dr. Billy Bundrick Softball Field, Robert Mack Caruthers Soccer Field, Origin Bank Soccer and Softball Complex, and additional support facilities. The athletics department also saw some international publicity with Conference USA Freshman of the Year Kenneth Lofton, Jr. leading Team USA to the gold medal at the 2021 FIBA U19 World Cup in Latvia. All of these momentum-building moments in 2020-21 led to impressive social media growth within the department, including a 22 percent increase in followers across all social media platforms. The official athletics website LATechSports.com saw 2.65 million pageviews, an increase in excess of 25 percent from the previous year, and also saw over 650,000 users, a 35

percent growth over the previous 12 months. All of these accomplishments were just signs of culture, class and competitive excellence. The Bronx, New York, native has served in a variety of roles within athletics administration for more than two decades. In addition to his time at UCF, Wood has held full-time positions at the University of Arkansas, the Atlantic Coast Conference, Wake Forest University and the University of New Haven. He also served as a postgraduate intern at the NCAA national office and a graduate assistant at Clemson University early in his career. At every level of his professional career, Wood has made an impact. His qualifications and accomplishments include: • Sacred Heart University Board of Trustees • 2020-21 University of Arkansas Outstanding Alumni of the Year-College of Health, Human Performance & Recreation • 2019 “Next Up” honoree presented by Adidas and College AD for senior level administrators • Athletics Representative on the UCF Presidents Advisory Staff Council • 2016 Top 40 Under 40 in the Arkansas Business Journal • 2009 graduate of the NCAA’s Leadership Institute • 11 years of executive staff level leadership • $55 million in successful management experience for sport programs, operations and support areas • $5 million in fundraising visits, proposals, and presentations for programing, operations and facilities • Head coach hires in football, men’s basketball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and track and field • Sport administrator experience (football, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s golf) • NCAA, NLI, Division I-A Athletics Director’s Association (Now Lead1), USTA committee service • 1994-1998 NCAA football student-athlete • 1998 Medal of Merit recipient as student-athlete of the Year During his tenure at UCF, Wood played a prominent role in the strategic planning process and day-to-day administration of the University’s 16-sport intercollegiate athletics program, assisting with key initiatives that impact overall competitive excellence in the classroom and on the respective playing fields as a member of his executive leadership team. He represented the department on the President’s Advisory Staff Council and served as sport administrator for the football and men’s basketball programs. Wood had administrative oversight of the Varsity Knights alumni letter-winners organization, UCF Convocation Corporation management and revenue generation, Knights Sports Performance, the sport administrators group, the sports science and sports nutrition

departments, compliance, academics and all internal units impacting the competitive success of UCF’s 450 student-athletes. “President Guice and Louisiana Tech University made an absolute home run hire,” said UCF Director of Athletics Danny White. “UCF’s loss is LA Tech’s gain. Eric Wood has had an enormous impact on our athletics program. Simply put, seemingly everything he touches turns to gold! I am grateful for Eric’s many contributions that have led to an unprecedented amount of competitive and academic success at UCF. “His interpersonal skills are second-to-none, and combined with his competitive drive, his work with our coaches and student-athletes allowed us to break a whole lot of records around here. I couldn’t be happier for Eric, Celia, and their beautiful family, and I look forward to following their continued success in this new adventure.” Wood also assisted with the hiring of UCF football coach Josh Heupel and men’s basketball coach Johnny Dawkins. The Knights football program has won 22 games over the past two seasons, including an undefeated regular season in 2018. The Knights men’s basketball program earned a trip to the 2019 NCAA Tournament, the program’s first since 2005. “Dr. Eric Wood is everything a school could want in an athletic director,” said Dawkins. “His greatest strength lies in his ability to connect with others. He is great with student athletes, administrators, and coaches. He will be greatly missed, but I can’t wait to see what he will accomplish at Louisiana Tech.” During his time in Fayetteville, Wood served as the Associate Athletics

Director, Deputy Title IX Coordinator/Diversity Coordinator (2011-16) as well as the Assistant Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Development (200911). Wood was the Director of Student-Athlete Programs and Compliance at the ACC (2005-09) following a stint as the Assistant Director for Compliance at Wake Forest (2004-05). He began his full-time collegiate athletic administration career as the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Development at the University of New Haven (2003-04). He is a 1998 graduate of Sacred Heart University, earning his degree in Psychology. He was a three-year starter at cornerback for the Pioneer football team with one outdoor season as a member of the track and field team. Wood earned a Medal of Merit, the athletic department’s highest honor, as the Student-Athlete of the Year his senior year at Sacred Heart. He completed his master’s degree in counseling and guidance services at Clemson University in May 2000 and his Doctorate of Education in Sports Management at the University of Arkansas in 2016. “I love the bold mission and vision of the University to be the top public research institution in the country,” said Wood. “My vision for athletics is the same – competitive excellence. We will compete in the classroom. We will compete to develop more leaders. And we will compete to win more championships.” Dr. Wood and his wife Celia have four children – Eliana, Nia, Alyssa and Elijah.
