HEAD COACH @brookestoehr

Brooke Stoehr knows the storied tradition of Lady Techster basketball.

She was a big part of that history as a player under legendary Hall of Fame head coach Leon Barmore during her four years in Ruston.

This fact combined with her already established track record of winning on the hardwood as a head coach led Louisiana Tech Athletics Director Tommy McClelland to name Stoehr the seventh head coach in Lady Techster basketball history in April of 2016.

Stoehr came back to her alma mater after four tremendously successful years at Northwestern State, where she guided the Lady Demons to three postseason tournaments, including a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances.

“I have a deep passion for this program and have a personal investment in it from my time here as a student athlete,” said Stoehr. “I take great pride and responsibility in leading this group of young women and helping move the Lady Techster program forward.”

Stoehr surpassed the 150-win milestone with a road win at UAB during the 2020-21 season and surpassed 100 wins at Tech in a C-USA tournament semifinal win over UAB this past March. Stoehr now sits third all-time in program wins behind Leon Barmore and Sonja Hogg and enters the 2022-23 season with an overall record of 172-137, including a 101-79 mark in Ruston.

“Brooke was the last point guard I ever coached at Louisiana Tech,” Barmore said. “When things were tough and the game was on the line, I wanted Brooke to have the ball. To be honest with you, I’m glad she has the ball now. I love her, and I’m glad she is in charge of this program.”

During the 2021-22 season, Stoehr led the Techsters to a 21-12 record on their way to winning the Conference USA West Division crown and earning an automatic birth in the WNIT. The Techsters also reached the C-USA finals for the first time since joining the conference after beating UAB and completing an 11-point fourth quarter comeback over Middle Tennessee in the tournament semifinals.

Stoehr led the Lady Techsters to a 14-10 record in 2020-21, including an overtime win on the road at Marshall to open up Conference USA play, as well as a first round win over the Thundering Herd in the Conference USA tournament.

She has also seen some impressive wins the past few years, including wins over P5 programs in Alabama and Ole Miss. Other impressive wins include a road win over a 14-1 UAB in 2018-19 as well as a victory over the Blazers in the first round of the 2020 C-USA Tournament (first time a 12 seed had defeated a 5 seed in the event).

Stoehr recorded back-to-back winning seasons during her first two years at the helm. After being picked to finish 12th in the 14-team Conference USA in the preseason coaches’ poll prior to 2016-17, Stoehr led the Lady Techsters to 18 wins, a fourth-place finish in the regular season standings and the program’s first national postseason berth since 2011 during her first year.

LA Tech won seven straight C-USA regular season games down the stretch, advanced to the semifinals of the league tournament before falling to tournament champion WKU and then took SMU to overtime in Dallas in the first round of the WNIT.

She followed that up with a 19-12 record in 2017-18, a third place finish in the C-USA regular season and a second straight berth in the WNIT. It marked the most wins and the highest league finish since 2011-12.

The Techsters posted a win over Big Ten foe Penn State, its first over a P5 program since 2011-12. LA Tech also recorded a road win over eventual C-USA regular season champion UAB, and snapped the Rice Owl’s program-record 15-game winning streak.

During her six seasons at Tech, Stoehr has recruited and developed AllConference players such as 2022 First-Team and 2021 Second-Team guard Keiunna Walker and 2022 Second-Team forward Anna Larr Roberson. Walker became the 43rd member of the Lady Techsters 1,000 point club and surpassed other career milestones in assists (100), steals (100), and charges taken (100) and registered the fourth triple-double in program history against Rice with 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. Roberson’s development over her three seasons under Stoehr has developed her into an all-conference selection after ranking second in C-USA in double-doubles, surpassing 500 career rebounds, and registering the fifth-highest scoring game in Techsters’ history with 44 points against Rice. Walker and Roberson were also named to the 2022 Conference USA All-Tournament Team.

Off the court, the Lady Techsters have been very involved in the local community, volunteering countless hours of community service with a number of organizations, including DART, Buddy Ball, The Big Event, Special Olympics and visiting several local elementary schools.

The Lady Techsters continued to make strides in the classroom as well. Over the past six years 41 players were named to the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll, including a a record-high eight Lady Techsters during the 2021-22 season. Taylor Stahly became the first Techsters since joining the league in 2013 to earn a spot on the women’s basketball All-Academic Team, recording the honor in back-to-back seasons. Stahly, Ashley Santos, Lotte Sant, Amaya Brannon, Robyn Lee, Silvia Nativi, Autumn Smith, and Mackenzie Wurm have all earned the C-USA Commissioners Academic Medal. The Techsters have also achieved a perfect single-season APR score in tow of their last three seasons.

Stahly, who finished her academic career with a perfect 4.0 grade point average, was also named a Google Cloud Academic All-American in 2018-19, just the 16th such recipient of the highest academic honor in Louisiana Tech Athletics history.

“Brooke needs no introduction to Louisiana Tech University,” said Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey. “She is Lady Techster basketball! Her history with the program speaks volumes. She was loved as a Lady Techster player, and she will be loved as the head coach.”

Prior to Louisiana Tech, Stoehr inherited a Northwestern State women’s basketball program that had won a total of six games the previous season. In four seasons, NSU compiled a record of 71-58 as the Lady Demons won backto-back Southland Conference Tournament championships in 2014 and 2015. Those victories produced the first consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in program history.

In her last season in Natchitoches, Northwestern State earned an appearance in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, extending its run of national postseason appearances to three.

On the court, Stoehr developed three-year starting point guard Janelle Perez from a player who had no other Division I scholarship offers into a 1,000-point career scorer, the 2012-13 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and a 2014-15 first-team All-Southland Conference selection.

During Stoehr’s tenure in Natchitoches, she has also guided Keisha Lee on a path that led the shooting guard to become the 25th player in program history to score 1,000 points and Trudy Armstead in becoming just the seventh player in school history to record at least 1,000 career points and grab at least 700 career rebounds. Armstead also earned 2014 Southland Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player honors before signing to play in Romania.

The maturation of shooting guard Beatrice Attura into the Southland Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player only served to underscore further Stoehr’s ability to develop quality guard play, something that marked her playing career at Louisiana Tech.

Off the court, Stoehr demands just as much or more from her players and the numbers prove it. In the classroom, Northwestern State finished with the nation’s 16th-best cumulative GPA (3.461) in the 2014-15 season and had the fifth-highest among NCAA Tournament teams that season. The team GPA for the Fall 2015 semester was 3.48, trending NSU toward another high ranking nationally when the 2015-16 review is released this summer by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

Each player who completed her athletic eligibility during the Stoehrs’ tenure earned a degree from Northwestern State.

In addition to her time at Northwestern State, Stoehr spent time as an assistant coach at Texas Tech (2009-12), Southern Mississippi (2008-09), LA Tech (2005-08) and UALR (2003-05).

Stoehr played for the Lady Techsters from 1998 through 2002 and helped guide the program to four NCAA Tournament appearances, two Elite Eights and one Final Four. She ended her LA Tech career as the NCAA’s all-time leader in free throw percentage.

Brooke and husband Scott have a 11-year-old daughter, Aubrey, and a 9-yearold son, Cooper.

Brooke was the last point guard I ever coached at Louisiana Tech. When things were tough and the game was on the line, I wanted Brooke to have the ball. To be honest with you, I’m glad she has the ball now. I love her, and I’m glad she is in charge of this program.

W hat they’re saying about BARMORE

Brooke needs no introduction to Louisiana Tech University. She is Lady Techster basketball! Her history with the program speaks volumes. She was loved as a Lady Techster player, and she will be loved as the head coach.

Brooke is a former Lady Techster that has done everything, both as an assistant coach and as a head coach at Northwestern State, that you would look for in a head coach. I think she will be dynamite. She was one of the all-time favorites as a player,and a person, at Louisiana Tech. This is a tremendous hire, and they will be very happy with her in Ruston.

Brooke is a proven winner as a Division I student-athlete, assistant coach and head coach. No one could love or understand the Lady Techster tradition more than Brooke. She has great character and will work with a relentless passion to represent the Lady Techster tradition. I am thrilled for her, Scott, Aubrey and Cooper to return the Ruston community.

YEAR-BY-YEAR

nitra perry associate

HEAD COACH @coachlperry

Louisiana Tech Women’s Basketball head coach Brooke Stoehr announced June 2, 2022 Nitra Perry will be joining the Lady Techsters’ staff as the associate head coach.

Perry brings 17 years of collegiate coaching experience to Ruston after her most recent stop as an assistant coach for the last two seasons at West Virginia (2020-2022). Perry also served as the Mountaineers interim head coach following the 2022 season after Mike Carey retired after 21 seasons in Morgantown.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Nitra to the Lady Techsters’ family,” said Stoehr. “Nitra has competed at a high level as an athlete and coach. Her passion for the development of young people and building relationships through the game of basketball will be a tremendous addition for our staff.”

“Nitra’s years of experience as an assistant and head coach will be invaluable to our staff and players as we continue to compete for championships with this group. We are fortunate to add a person and coach of Nitra’s caliber to our staff. She understands the expectations and standards we have at Louisiana Tech and will be a wonderful addition to Ruston and our campus community.”

Perry’s impact at West Virginia was immediate, helping lead the Mountaineers to a 22-7 mark in her first season that included a Big XII Tournament title game appearance and a spot in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32. Perry worked closely alongside multiple Big XII honorees, including the WNBA’s fourth overall selection and All-American, Kysre Gondrezick.

“I am extremely honored to be a part of a program with such a rich history alongside Brooke and her staff,” said Perry. “Brooke’s love for Tech and desire to mentor, impact, and win was evident from our very first conversation. She is transparent, competitive, and most importantly authentic. The trajectory of the program is exciting. I feel blessed to call LA Tech my new home and family.”

Before she arrived in Morgantown, Perry served as the associate head coach at Toledo from 2018-2020, where she worked with all aspects of the program, including perimeter-player development, recruiting, academic support, and opponent scouting.

During her time at Toledo, Perry helped the Rockets amass a 131-69 overall record and a 68-32 mark in the Mid-American Conference. Toledo posted four 20-win campaigns during her six seasons with the team, winning three MAC West Division titles and earning four Postseason WNIT berths.

In a previous stint with Toledo from 2008-2012, Perry proved instrumental in signing the MAC’s top-rated recruiting class in 2011 while also capturing the 2011 WNIT Championship after posting a school-record 29 wins while directly working with WNIT MVP Naama Shafir.

In between her two stints with the Rockets, she served as an assistant coach at Memphis during the 2016-2018 seasons, where she mentored and trained two-time All-American Cheyenne Creighton and four seasons as the head coach at Kennesaw State (2012-2016).

In 2014-15, Perry guided Kennesaw State to their most-successful season (17-13 record) since the Owls moved to the NCAA Division I level in 2005-06 and became a full Division I member in 2009-10.

KSU tied for fourth place in the 2014-15 Atlantic Sun Conference regular-season standings, marking the program’s best league finish at the time. Perry also coached her first postseason award recipient, with Jasmine McAllister earning A-Sun Newcomer of the Year honors.

Before her first stint with Toledo, Perry spent two seasons at her alma mater Mississippi State as an assistant coach, where she was responsible for player development, practice preparation, assisting with recruitment, and overseeing academics. While with the Bulldogs, she helped mentor All-Southeastern Conference Freshman performers Alexis Rack and Mary Kathryn Govero.

Perry returned to her alma mater after serving as an administrative assistant to the recruiting coordinator with Georgia Tech for three seasons (2004-06), where she assisted with the summer camps.

A native of Bolivar, Tennessee, Perry was a four-year letter-winner for Mississippi State (1996-2000) and was a two-time All-SEC honorable mention pick in 1999 and 2000. She also earned SEC All-Tournament Team and SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades in 2000. She still ranks in the top 20 on the Bulldogs’ career charts in scoring (19th; 1,124) and rebounding (8th; 746). She also helped lead MSU to three-straight postseason appearances, including two NCAA Tournaments. The 1999-2000 squad won 24 games and advanced to the SEC Tournament Championship Game.

Before her coaching career began, Perry played professional basketball overseas (2001 in Portugal; 2002 in Italy) and in the United States (2003-04 with NWBL’s Birmingham Power). She earned her bachelor’s in education from Mississippi State in 2000. The daughter of Kirk and Constance Perry, she has one brother, Kirk Jr., and one sister, Afton.

pierre miller assistant COACH @coachpmiller_

Louisiana Tech Women’s Basketball head coach Brooke Stoehr announced June 2, 2022 the addition of Pierre Miller to the Techsters’ staff as an assistant coach.

“We are thrilled to welcome Pierre and his family to Ruston and the Louisiana Tech family,” said Stoehr. “Pierre brings a great deal of experience as a player and coach that will benefit our staff and players daily. He has an energy and passion for teaching the game and helping young people grow and develop. Our players and staff will be challenged by his energy and desire to compete. He has a way of connecting with people and building relationships that will add great value to the Lady Techsters program, campus, and Ruston community.”

Miller comes to Ruston after a six-year stint on staff with Campbell women’s basketball. Miller was promoted to associate head coach in August 2021 after spending five seasons as an assistant coach where he assisted with all aspects of the program, with an emphasis on perimeter players and guards.

“My family and I are absolutely thrilled to join Coach Stoehr and the entire Lady Techsters’ family,” said Miller. “I am excited to build off the championship momentum from this past season. The opportunity to work with highly competitive student-athletes plus experienced, high character and proven coaches at a storied, first-class institution is a tremendous win all the way around.”

Miller adds a defensive-minded presence to an already successful LA Tech defense. During Miller’s tenure, the Camels were one of just five division one programs to be ranked top-10 nationally in scoring defense in five of the past six seasons, including the top-ranked defense in 2017.

During the 2020-2021 season, Miller assisted the Camels to a 16-7 record overall and an 11-4 mark in Big South play. Campbell finished second in the Big South regular-season standings and were runners-up in the Big South tournament.

In the 2019-2020 season, Miller helped the Camels to a 21-8 campaign, including tying a program-record 16 Big South wins en route to a Big South regular-season championship, their first conference season title since 2001.

In the 2018-2019 campaign, Miller helped the Camels to the program’s first and second ever postseason victories reaching the semifinals of the WBI as part of tying a program record 23 wins.

Miller also worked closely with 16 All-Big South Conference players including the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year, MaKala Rouse.

Before Campbell, Miller spent three seasons (2013-2016) as an assistant coach for the Presbyterian College men’s basketball team. He assisted with all elements of the program, including recruiting, scouting, and monitoring student-athlete progress rates.

Miller was mentored by Presbyterian College head coach Gregg Nibert, the school’s all-time winningest coach at over 400 victories.

During his time with the Blue Hose, Miller helped mentor four all-conference selections, including the 2015 Big South Freshman of the Year, Desean Murray.

Before joining the coaching ranks, Miller was a standout guard for the Blue Hose from 2007-2012. A 2012 graduate in sociology with an athletic coaching minor, Miller finished his career just shy of 1,000 points and over 300 assists. He owns numerous records in the Presbyterian Division I record book, including program-best marks for assists (328), games played (119), and ranks third with 207 made three-pointers.

Miller is married to the former Maurissa Strickland, and the couple has three young children: Julia, Noah, and Lilah.

Scott Stoehr enters his seventh season in Ruston, serving as an assistant coach on the Lady Techster sideline.

Stoehr was instrumental in the Lady Techsters posting back-to-back winning campaigns in his first two years back in Ruston in 2016-17 and 2017-18. After being picked to finish 12th in the 14-team Conference USA in the preseason coaches’ poll in 2016-17, Stoehr helped guide the Lady Techsters to 18 wins, a fourth-place finish in the regular season standings and the program’s first national postseason berth since 2011 during her first year.

LA Tech won seven straight C-USA regular season games down the stretch, advanced to the semifinals of the league tournament before falling to tournament champion WKU and then took SMU to overtime in Dallas in the first round of the WNIT.

Tech followed that up with a 19-12 record in 2017-18, a third place finish in the C-USA regular season and a second straight berth in the WNIT. It marked the most wins and the highest league finish since 2011-12.

The Techsters posted a win over Big Ten foe Penn State, its first over a P5 program since 2011-12. LA Tech also recorded a road win over eventual C-USA regular season champion UAB, and snapped the Rice Owl’s program-record 15-game winning streak.

Tech has also seen some impressive wins the past few years, including a road win over a 14-1 UAB in 2018-19 as well as a victory over the Blazers in the first round of the 2020 C-USA Tournament (first time a 12 seed had defeated a 5 seed in the event).

During the 2021-22 season, Stoehr helped guide the Lady Techsters to a Conference USA West Division championship which earned an automatic bid to the 2022 WNIT. The Techsters also earned their first Conference USA tournament championship appearance after beating UAB and completing an 11-point fourth quarter comeback over Middle Tennessee.

Stoehr has been instrumental in the Lady Techsters success, having helped developed 2021-22 First-Team All-Conference USA and AllTournament selection Keiunna Walker. Walker was also named Second-Team All-Conference during the 2020-21 campaign. Walker also become the 43rd member of the Lady Techsters’ 1,000 point club during 2021-22 and surpassed career milestones of 100 assists, 100 steals, and 100 charges taken.

Stoehr came back to Ruston after four seasons at Northwestern State in Natchitoches where he played an integral role in re-establishing a winning culture of accomplishment within NSU women’s basketball.

On top of three postseason appearances, including a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, Stoehr helped develop three 1,000-point scorers, the 2012-13 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year (Janelle Perez), two first-team All-Louisiana selections and a firstteam All-Southland Conference honoree.

Equally as important, every player who completed her eligibility at Northwestern State under Stoehr earned her degree from Northwestern State.

Stoehr, who received his degree in biology from Nebraska Wesleyan in 1997 and his master’s degree in Kinesiology from North Texas in 1999, began his coaching career at Nebraska Wesleyan University and followed that with stints at North Texas, Florida State, Arkansas-Little Rock and Louisiana Tech.

In his first position as a Division I coach, Stoehr helped guide North Texas to its most successful time in school history, including three conference division championships, two postseason tournaments and a 43-4 home record over a four-year period.

He was a position coach for the 2002 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and the league’s Defensive Player of the Year and was responsible for recruiting regions in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

At Florida State, he generated and implemented offensive and defensive game plans, coached the guards which included an All-ACC player, and assisted the team to its second highest win total and its second postseason tournament berth in school history at that time as a member of the ACC.

He followed that with a stint at ArkansasLittle Rock where he helped recruit the 2005 Sun Belt Conference’s Freshman of the Year, and spent three seasons at Louisiana Tech where he assisted the Lady Techsters in making the NCAA Tournament and Top 25 appearances.

Stoehr, a former linebacker at Nebraska Wesleyan, and his wife have a 11-year-old daughter, Aubrey, and a 9-year-old son, Cooper.

CONFERENCE FROM 37 TEAM TITLES...

During its 34-years as a member of a conference, Louisiana Tech has dominated to the tune of 21 conference regular season titles and 16 conference tournament titles.

ALL-TIME CONFERENCE TITLES

Adrienne Johnson and the Lady Techsters captured the 2011 WAC Championship.

DOMINATION ...TO 19 CONFERENCE POY

Lady Techster History

When Louisiana Tech President F. Jay Taylor appointed physical education instructor Sonja Hogg as the first head coach in the history of the Lady Techsters women’s basketball program in 1973, very few people ever dreamed it was the birth of one of the premier programs in the country - but history proves this to be a fact.

“There was no way to expect the outpouring of devotion when it all started back in 1974,” Hogg said. “Of course, we couldn’t really envision the scope and magnitude of what might be accomplished by this program, either.”

Hogg and Taylor were staples in the program’s early success, and the addition of a young Leon Barmore as an assistant in 1977 and eventually the head coach in 1982 only strengthened an already dominating Lady Techsters program. After 20 years as head coach of Tech, Barmore retired Aug. 22, 2002, as the winningest coach percentage wise in the history of collegiate basketball -- men’s or women’s -- with an incredible mark of 576-87 (.869).

One day after Barmore’s announcement, Louisiana Tech Athletic Director Jim Oakes named Kurt Budke as the third head coach in the illustrious history of Lady Techster basketball. Budke responded by leading the Lady Techsters to a 31-3 record and the Sweet 16 of the 2003 NCAA Tournament in his first year.

Following the season, Budke departed Tech and President Dan Reneau and Athletic Director Jim Oakes along with the Tech Athletic Council decided to promote six-year assistant coach Chris Long as the fourth head coach in the program’s history.

Long’s first season was a success as he was named the WAC Coach of the Year after leading Tech to a 26-5 mark and the program’s 25th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Former Kodak All-American, Wade Trophy winner and WNBA AllStar Teresa Weatherspoon was promoted from associate head coach to the fifth head coach in the program’s history in April of 2009 after she guided the Lady Techsters to a 9-2 mark over the final 11 games of the 2008-09 season and a share of the WAC regular season title.

In 2010-11 she led the Lady Techsters back to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in two years as Tech captured the WAC regular season title with a 15-1 record. The Lady Techsters 66-59 win over Nevada in the WAC Tournament semifinals also marked the 1000th win in program history as Tech joined Tennessee as the only two programs to reach the milestone.

Heading into the 42nd season, Louisiana Tech welcomed the sixth head coach in program history as Tyler Summitt -- son of legendary Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt -- took over the reins for two years.

Following Summitt’s two-year stint in Ruston, Louisiana Tech hired one of its own in Brooke (Lassiter) Stoehr and her husband

Scott. In their first two years at the helm of the program, the duo directed the Lady Techsters to back-to-back postseason appearances as Tech played in the 2017 and 2018 WNIT.

The LA Tech program is still considered one of the top women’s basketball programs in the history of the game, and rightly so. The numbers tell the story.

No one can argue the incredible success this mid-major school has seen on the women’s basketball front over the years. The stories are numerous and the memories are various - however, the results have always been the same ... a winning tradition.

1975

Louisiana Tech embarked on its new adventure Jan. 7, 1975, when the 12-member Lady Techster squad under the direction of Coach Sonja Hogg lost to Southeastern Louisiana 59-55 at Memorial Gym in Ruston.

The Lady Techsters would rebound and post the school’s first ever victory Jan. 24, when Tech downed Louisiana State University 97-83 in Memorial Gym.

Tech eventually finished the regular season 11-7 before splitting four games at the Louisiana AIAW State Tournament. Tech’s season ended with a two-point defeat to McNeese State at the tournament, but the foundation had been set for years to come.

1975-76

Tech’s second year of women’s basketball proved to be even better than the first as the Lady Techsters posted a 19-10 record. Tech’s

14-member roster was comprised of all Louisiana athletes with freshman Kay Ford and sophomore Mary Robertson coming from farthest away — Alexandria, La., located less than 100 miles from Ruston.

Hogg’s team opened the season with two convincing wins over Ouachita Baptist and Nicholls State before dropping a 74-63 decision to Panola Junior College. On three separate occasions during the season, Tech posted four-game winning streaks.

Once again the Lady Techsters earned a bid to the Louisiana AIAW State Tournament where they won two games before being ousted by LSU.

1976-77

The Lady Techsters posted the first of 23 20-plus winning seasons by registering a 22-9 mark and earning the school’s first ever trip to the AIAW Regional Tournament.

Once again an all-Louisiana roster rolled along as the Techsters posted a 15-7 regular season mark before entering the state AIAW Tournament for the third consecutive year.

However, this time Tech’s balanced attack - featuring four players averaging double figures -was simply too much for opponents as the Lady Techsters captured the state title by winning four consecutive games.

In the regional tournament, Tech opened with a convincing victory over Oklahoma State before falling to Baylor in a tight contest. Two more Lady Techster wins, over Texas-Arlington and Northwestern State, advanced them to the title game where they fell 94-85 to Texas.

1977-78

Although the Lady Techsters posted another 20-win season and earned its second trip to the AIAW Regional Tournament, the big news was the hiring of a 33-year-old assistant named Leon Barmore.

Barmore, who lettered for the Tech men’s program for three years, came to Tech after coaching in the high school ranks for 11 seasons at Bastrop and Ruston High Schools. Barmore’s vast coaching knowledged combined with Hogg’s recruiting prowess formed one of the most talented coaching staffs in the country.

On the playing court, Tech posted a 20-8 record on the road to earning the school’s first ever national ranking. After making its third straight appearance in the AIAW Regional Tournament and splitting four games, the Lady Techsters ended the season ranked 20th in the country.

1978-79

The 1978-79 season saw Louisiana Tech turn the corner and develop into one of the top teams in the country. The Lady Techsters shattered the school record for victories with a 34-4 record and earned their first trip to the AIAW National Tournament.

Led by freshman post player Pam Kelly, Tech recorded a regular season mark of 24-3 (the three losses were by a combined four points). After coasting through the state and regional tournaments, the Lady Techsters won their first national post-season contest defeating Kansas 100-61. Two more victories over Northwestern and Tennessee moved Tech into the National Championship game against Old Dominion where the Lady Techsters lost 75-65.

Tech ended the season ranked No. 2 in the country. The Lady Techsters also posted milestone victory No. 100 defeating Southern 105-83 in the LAIAW Tournament.

1979-80

Expectations were high entering the season as Tech returned the nucleus of its national title game team and Lady Techster fans would not be disappointed. Once again the Lady Techsters cruised through the regular season before advancing through the state and regional AIAW Tournaments.

Tech defeated Kansas and Long Beach State to earn its second Final Four appearance before falling to Old Dominion and South Carolina to finish fourth in the country. The 40-5 mark still stands as the national and school record for the most victories in a season.

Once again Pam Kelly dominated inside, scoring 932 points during the season, a mark that still stands in the Tech record books. Kelly earned the program’s first Kodak All-American honor for her efforts.

However, no one envisioned the dominating performance the Lady Techsters would put on throughout the year, destroying the competition on its way to a perfect 34-0 record and the school’s first AIAW National Championship title.

After defeating Southern California 66-50 in the semifinal game of the Final Four in Eugene, Oregon, Tech faced Tennessee. The contest was nationally televised on NBC-TV as the nation watched Tech down the Lady Vols 79-59 in what would eventually become the top rivalry in women’s basketball.

The win marked the 27th time in 34 games that the Lady Techsters had won by 20 or more points. “We knew with the schedule we were playing that it would be exciting for our fans and that we would certainly find out how good we were,” said Leon Barmore.

However, perhaps only Street & Smith’s had the foresight to know as the preseason publication had picked Tech to win it all in October. It wouldn’t be Tech’s last.

As dominating as the previous years Tech team was, the 1981-82 squad might have been the best ever. Although they did falter once during the season, the Lady Techsters marched through the playoffs and captured the first national championship game in NCAA history.

In addition to its second straight national title, Tech set a women’s collegiate basketball record with 54 consecutive victories (the streak was snapped in a 61-58 loss at Old Dominion in the middle of the season), was ranked No. 1 for every week of the season for the second straight year, another record, and once again closed out the season on national television.

Tech’s record-setting starting lineup was comprised of Pam Kelly, Lori Scott, Angela Turner, Kim Mulkey and Janice Lawrence. The Lady Techsters 76-62 win over Cheyney State in the championship game was once again nationally televised.

During the course of the season, Tech won the 200th game in the program’s history with a 94-53 victory over Oral Roberts in Ruston.

The 1982-83 season brought with it much change for the Lady Techsters. Gone were three-time Kodak All-American Pam Kelly and one-time All-American Angela Turner. Also, Leon Barmore was promoted to co-Head Coach before the start of the season.

Probably the biggest change for the program was a new home as the 8,000-seat Thomas Assembly Center opened, replacing old Memorial Gym.

However, one thing did remain the same as the Lady Techsters kept rolling along, earning a fifth straight Final Four and a third straight title game appearance.

The only thing that stood in the way of another perfect season was Southern California who defeated the Lady Techsters twice, in the home opener at the TAC (64-58) and in the national title game (69-67).

Tech finished the season 31-2.

And after starting the season with 18 straight wins, including a 75-66 win over Southern California at the TAC, it looked like little could stop Barmore and Hogg’s team.

Only two close losses against Memphis State and Old Dominion blemished Tech’s regular season mark and the Lady Techsters cruised through the first three rounds of the NCAA Tournament to advance to a sixth straight Final Four.

However, for the second season in a row, Tech was knocked off by Southern California in the Final Four as the Lady Techsters ended the year 30-3.

1984-85

Although a number of impressive streaks ended, this was another exciting season of Lady Techster basketball. Tech opened the year with 18 straight wins, including a memorable 79-77 overtime victory over I-20 and Top 25 rival UL-Monroe in front of a Thomas Assembly Center record crowd of 8,975.

Tech stumbled at the midway point, dropping three of five games, including a loss in the rematch against ULM. However, the Lady Techsters - in Hogg’s last season as coach - won seven straight games to end the regular season and gain momentum entering the NCAA Tournament.

After two lopsided wins in the first two rounds, Tech and ULM faced off for a third time, with the Lady Indians prevailing 85-76. The loss prevented two streaks from continuing as Tech’s 29-4 mark ended a string of six straight years with 30 or more wins and it also prevented the Lady Techsters from earning a seventh straight Final Four.

Tech did capture the 300th win in the program’s history with a 78-59 victory over Oral Roberts.

1985-86

A new era began in 1985-86 as Leon Barmore took over the sole reigns of the Lady Techsters after Sonja Hogg’s retirement.

Barmore led a relatively young team - featuring only one senior - to a 25-4 regular season mark, including impressive road victories over Tennessee, Alabama and Oklahoma State. Tech was 13-1 on the season before freshman Nora Lewis, who was averaging 13.3 points and 7.1 rebounds, suffered a season-ending knee injury.

The Lady Techsters entered the NCAA Tournament and promptly defeated Washington and Long Beach State before exiting with a 80-64 loss to Southern California in the third round.

Tech ended the season with an impressive 27-5 mark, and Barmore claimed milestone victory No. 100 in a win over UCLA Jan. 4, 1986, in Ruston.

Entering the season, no one had higher expectations than Head Coach Leon Barmore. With the nucleus of the previous year’s team returning, everyone in Ruston, La., had their sights set on a return to the Final Four.

Tech would not disappoint as the Lady Techsters posted a 26-2 regular season record including victories over Tennessee, Georgia and Old Dominion. The Lady Techsters entered the NCAA Tournament and promptly defeated Northwestern, Southern Illinois and Iowa to earn a trip to the Final Four.

Tech narrowly defeated Texas in the semifinal game and earned a spot in the showdown with Tennessee for the national title. However, the Lady Techsters struggled from the field and lost 67-44. Tech ended the season 30-3.

1987-88

Just call them the Cardiac Kids. After losing so convincingly in the national championship game the season before, Louisiana Tech felt it had plenty to prove entering the season - its first as a member of the newlyformed American South Conference.

After Tech shot out of the gates winning the first 20 games of the season, including only one by less than 10 points, they dropped two consecutive last second contests against Tennessee and Penn State. The losses would be the last of the season.

After easily claiming the ASC regular season and tournament titles,

the Lady Techsters entered the NCAA Tournament and downed Kansas and Mississippi, setting up a third-round game against Texas in Austin.

In what is still remembered as a classic, Tech downed the Lady Longhorns 83-80 in overtime to advance to yet another Final Four. The Lady Techsters got revenge over the earlier loss to Tennessee by downing the Lady Vols 68-59, setting up the national title game against Auburn.

Just when it looked like Tech would drop a second straight title game - trailing by 14 at halftime - the Lady Techsters unloaded in the second half and won its third national championship 56-54 in Tacoma, Wash.

“We were on the floor, flat on our backs,” Barmore said. “You find out a lot about yourself when you’re down. I’m proud that when we were down we had the kids on the floor who could get up and come back.”

Tech ended the season 32-2.

After graduating three starters off its national championship team, many people thought this season would be a rebuilding one. However, Leon Barmore worked his magic again, posting a 32-4 mark.

Tech cruised through the regular season, suffering close losses against Tennessee (twice) and Colorado, while claiming second straight ASC regular season and tournament titles. Tech downed Oklahoma State, LSU and Stanford to advance to another Final Four before Auburn ousted the Lady Techsters 76-71.

During the course of the season two more milestones were set as the program won its 400th game in a 79-51 victory over Holy Cross, while Barmore won his 200th game as Tech defeated Arkansas State 91-46 Feb. 11, 1989, in Ruston.

Louisiana Tech ended the decade of the ‘80s with a bang. Tech breezed through the regular season, winning all 27 games and claiming its third straight American South Conference regular season and tournament titles.

The Lady Techsters took their No. 1 ranking into the NCAA Tournament and had little trouble defeating Southern Mississippi, Purdue and Texas before falling to Auburn in the national semifinals.

In addition to the 32-1 record, Leon Barmore earned national coach of the year honors and was also named the co-Coach of the Decade along with Tennessee’s Pat Summitt. Barmore posted a 243-24 mark during the decade.

As wonderful as the decade of the ‘80s was for Louisiana Tech, the ‘90s didn’t start as smoothly as the Lady Techsters posted a record of 18-12.

The losses were the most in the history of the program, while the 18 wins were the fewest since the inaugural 1974-75 season. After starting the season 3-0, Tech set another school record with three straight defeats at the hands of LSU, UNLV and Notre Dame.

After ending the regular season 16-11, Tech was in jeopardy of missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. However, an exhilarating 77-76 win over Lamar in the finals of the American South Conference Tournament kept the streak alive.

The Lady Techsters would exit the NCAA Tournament after a first round loss at California State-Fullerton, the earliest exit ever.

This proved to be a transition year as the American South joined the Sun Belt Conference. On the hardwood, the Lady Techsters tried to regain their old form, but struggled through another season of mediocrity at 20-10.

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

A bright spot for the Lady Techsters was the return of Shantel Hardison after a year off. Hardison became the first Lady Techsters to ever lead the team in points, rebounds and assists in the same season, which earned her SBC Player of the Year honors.

Just when it looked like the Lady Techster dynasty might be slowly folding, Leon Barmore brought in one of the nation’s Top 5 recruiting classes.

And although Tech lost three of its first eight games - two against nationally ranked Tennessee and Texas Tech - the Lady Techsters slowly found their chemistry and by the end of the regular season looked poised to make a run at the Final Four.

After winning the Sun Belt regular season title, Tech received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament after dropping the SBC Tournament title game to Western Kentucky. Tech’s resurgence surprised many as the Techsters won the first three games of the tournament before losing a 57-52 heart-breaker to No. 1 ranked Vanderbilt in the Midwest Finals.

However, the 26-6 record showed Tech was back among the

nation’s elite. During the course of the season, Tech also won the 500th game in the program’s history with a 93-72 win over Alabama in Ruston. Barmore also claimed his 300th coaching victory when the Lady Techsters downed Arkansas State 72-66 Feb. 15, 1993, in Ruston.

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

The highly-touted Techster team stumbled early in the season, losing a tough game at Iowa before being embarrassed at Alabama (99-77) and Tennessee (94-60). However, Barmore righted the ship as Tech cruised through the Sun Belt undefeated before easily winning the SBC Tournament title as well.

Tech then proceeded to flex its muscle, winning five straight games in the NCAA Tournament - including revenge wins against both Alabama and Tennessee - to advance to the national title game against North Carolina.

With less than one second remaining and Tech leading 59-57, the fourth national title was well within the Techsters grasp. However, a three-point shot by Charlotte Smith at the buzzer robbed Tech of another title.

With the loss of only two players from the prior season’s national title game team, Louisiana Tech was set to make yet another run at the national championship.

After opening the season with a loss at top-ranked Tennessee, Tech won 12 straight before falling again to the Lady Vols. Tech then marched through the Sun Belt with only one blemish in claiming its third straight regular season title. Another loss in the SBC Tournament finals against the Lady Toppers left the Lady Techsters with an at-large bid to the NCAA’s.

After two wins over Furman and Oklahoma in the first two rounds of the tournament, Tech dropped another one-point loss this time against Virginia in the regional semifinals.

The Lady Techsters ended the season 28-5.

Another No. 1 ranking. Another Sun Belt Conference title. Another 30-win season. Another trip to the NCAA Tournament. It was business as usual for the Lady Techsters.

After opening the season with a two-point overtime win over top-ranked Connecticut, Tech reeled off 15 more wins before falling at Tennessee. However, another 15 consecutive wins left the Lady Techsters in a showdown against Georgia in the regional finals.

With Tech leading with only eight minutes remaining in the game, a career-ending injury to Maquisha Walker deflated the Techsters as they fell to the Lady Bulldogs.

A 31-2 record and two more Kodak All-American selections highlighted the season. The program also reached milestone victory No. 600 with a 98-49 win over Western Kentucky.

Many people thought Louisiana Tech was going to have to rebuild after losing four starters to graduation, but Leon Barmore simply reloaded - and kept winning.

Tech started the season strong, winning the inaugural Preseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament, defeating Tennessee 66-64 in the title game.

Starting one freshman, three sophomores and a junior college transfer, Louisiana Tech proceeded to post a 31-4 record and win their fifth-straight regular season Sun Belt Conference title. After claiming a second consecutive SBC Tournament title, Tech entered the NCAA Tournament and promptly defeated St. Peter’s and Auburn before falling to Florida in the regional semifinals.

Entering the 24th season of Lady Techster basketball, there were few records this storied program hadn’t already set. However, they managed to find one and promptly broke it.

After posting another 31-4 season, winning its sixth straight Sun Belt regular season title and its third straight SBC tournament title,

Tech advanced to its eighth national championship game in school history.

And although the Techsters fell 93-75 to undefeated Tennessee in the title game, Tech’s success led to all five starters being named to the All-Sun Belt Conference teamanother first in not only Tech history but also league history.

Compiling a 30-3 record on their way to a 13th Final Four appearance, Tech dominated the SBC once again winning its seventh straight regular season title and fourth straight tournament title.

Tech’s only defeats came against No. 1 ranked Tennessee and the eventual national champion Purdue Boilermakers twice.

The Lady Techsters defeated Central Florida, Penn State, LSU and UCLA on their way to another Final Four appearance. A 77-63 loss to Purdue in the national semifinals ended the season.

However, the program posted its 700th victory with a 97-57 win over New Orleans during regular season conference play.

After losing three players to the professional ranks, Leon Barmore was faced with a team that had only one player with more than one year of Lady Techster experience in point guard Tamicha Jackson.

However, like clockwork, Barmore built a machine using the athletic ability of Jackson and Betty Lennox as the Lady Techsters simply ran through, around and away from the competition for most of the year.

Tech would extend its SBC title streak to eight straight while also claiming its fifth straight tournament title. After posting three impressive wins in the NCAA Tournament, including a memorable 66-65 win over Vanderbilt in the second round, the Lady Techsters were ousted in the Midwest Regional finals by Penn State.

However, Barmore reached another milestone when he claimed coaching victory No. 500 as the Techsters defeated South Alabama 90-33 Jan. 10, 2000, in Ruston. Barmore won 500 games faster than any coach in collegiate history, doing so in only his 576th career game.

Tech returned only one starter from the previous season and lost super sophomore Catrina Frierson with a torn ACL prior to the start of the year. Once again many national publications called for the Techsters demise but Leon Barmore would have none of it.

After starting the season by capturing the prestigious preseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament with a win over No. 4 Purdue, the seniorless Lady Techsters never looked back. Tough losses to nationally ranked Tennessee and Connecticut didn’t deter Tech as Barmore and company claimed their ninth straight Sun Belt Conference regular season title and sixth straight tournament title.

The Lady Techsters won three games in the NCAA Tournament before falling to Connecticut but finished the season 31-5. With the 31 wins, Barmore became the first coach in NCAA Division I history to record six straight 30-plus win seasons.

Louisiana Tech returned all five starters from its Elite Eight team of the year before as it entered its first year as a member of the Western Athletic Conference.

However, after downing No. 17 Michigan in the season opener, the Lady Techsters went on arguably the toughest three-game road stretch in the program’s history, playing Tennessee, Duke and Connecticut (all eventual Final Four teams) in a two-week period.

The Techsters ran away with the WAC regular season title -- the program’s 10th straight regular season conference title -- before claiming the WAC Tournament title and the automatic bid to the program’s 21st straight NCAA Tournament.

The Lady Techsters finished the season 25-5 after falling to UC-Santa Barbara on a last-second shot in the NCAA Tournament, the 25th time in 28 years Tech had won 20 or more games.

Junior center Cheryl Ford was named the WAC Player of the Year while senior forward Ayana Walker and sophomore guard Amber Obaze both made the Kodak All-District team.

Senior guard Brooke Lassiter finished her four-year Tech career as the NCAA career leader in free throw percentage at 91.8 percent (269 of 293).

Walker and senior center Takeisha Lewis were both selected in the 2002 WNBA Draft.

2002-03

The Kurt Budke era began at Louisiana Tech with question marks surrounding the Lady Techster program after the loss of five seniors from the previous team. However, Budke and Co. showed the nation early that Louisiana Tech was once again going to be mentioned among the nation’s elite as the Lady Techsters downed No. 7 Texas Tech 85-76 in the season opener.

The ride on Cloud 9 was shortlived as Tech lost two of its next three games and came to a cross roads in its season heading down to Tulane for a match-up against the Green Wave. Tech responded with a resounding 68-53 win, the first of what would be 29 straight.

Tech entered Christmas break defeating No. 25 ranked New Mexico at The Pit, the loss would be the only one at home during the regular season for the Lobos, proving what a feat the Lady Techsters had accomplished.

The Western Athletic Conference had hopes that the Lady Techsters could be beaten (after the Rice Owls had accomplished the feat at the end of the 2001-02 season). However, led by Cheryl Ford, who would win her second straight Conference Player of the Year Award while destroying both the school and league rebounding records, the Lady Techsters posted a perfect 18-0 mark in WAC play, claiming yet another conference title.

After winning the WAC Tournament title and advancing to the program’s 22nd straight NCAA Tournament, Louisiana Tech defeated both Pepperdine and No. 20 Ohio State before falling to No. 3 ranked LSU 69-63 in the Sweet 16. In addition to Ford’s honor, Trina Frierson also earned first team All-WAC honors while guards Amber Obaze and Erica Smith both were named to the All-WAC second team and the league’s all-defensive unit. Budke earned the WAC Coach of the Year Award.

Following the season, Ford was the third overall selection in the 2003 WNBA Draft by the Detroit Shock and would earn that league’s 2003 Rookie of the Year Award.

During the season, the retired Leon Barmore was announced as a member of the 2003 Class for both the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

2003-04

Louisiana Tech returned the nucleus of a team that went 31-3 the previous season although the Lady Techsters had to find a replacement for the departure of center Cheryl Ford, who won the 2003 WNBA Rookie of the Year Award.

The Lady Techsters started strong winning their first three games, including posting an impressive road victory over Illinois in late November. Following an early December road loss at Tennessee, Tech reeled off five more wins in a row.

The pinnacle of the out of conference schedule was a memorable 87-84 win over No. 6 ranked Penn State on the home floor of the Nittney Lions, a PSU team that had already deafeted LSU, Texas and Kansas State. After Penn State hit a three-pointer with 7.5 seconds remaining to tie the game up, Tech’s Amber Obaze hit a 35-footer with 1.2 seconds remaining to lead the Techsters to the win.

After falling 87-84 to Rice in the second WAC game of the conference season, the Lady Techsters responded and promptly reeled off 16 straight wins to claim their third straight league title. Tech then won three straight contests in the WAC Tournament by an average margin of 31.6 points to earn the automatic berth in the program’s 23rd straight NCAA Tournament.

Two wins in Missoula, Montana, including a memorable 81-77 victory over host Montana before a soldout crowd of over 7,500 screaming Lady Griz fans, sent the Techsters to the East Regional in Norfolk, Va. Tech’s season came to an end with a 63-49 loss to No. 1 ranked Duke as the Lady Techsters finished with a 29-3 mark.

Senior forward Amisha Carter was named the 2004 WAC Player of the Year, while senior Trina Frierson was first team All-WAC and a finalist for the Naismith Player of the Year award.

2004-05

The Lady Techsters entered the season with only one returning starter on the floor for the season opener against Ole Miss after graduating three All-WAC performers from the previous year.

Also playing a huge role in Tech’s early season inexperience was the fact Preseason WAC Player of the Year Erica Taylor was sidelined, giving birth to her and husband Jermain’s first child, daughter Nia Jay on Dec. 15.

With Taylor not returning to the Tech lineup until late January, junior point guard Tasha Williams was Tech’s lone starter from the previous year. Crain and Co. met a tough outof-conference schedule, posting wins over Ole Miss, Arkansas State, Western Kentucky and Alcorn State, while falling to Tennessee, Oklahoma, Mississippi State and Illinos.

Although Tech had won 10 straight regular season conference titles, many experts believed this would be the year the string was snapped. However, the Techsters made a statement early in conference play, overcoming a 16-point second half deficit to down Rice on New Year’s Day.

Behind the play of Williams, who would see her scoring average increase from 4.3 her sophomore season to 18.2 this year, and guards Lakiste Barkus and Shan Moore, the Techsters posted a 14-4 mark in the WAC, tying Rice for the regular season title.

The Lady Techsters string of 23 straight NCAA Tournament appearances was on the line in the semifinals of the 2005 WAC Tournament as Tech overcame a 15-point deficit with 7:02 to play before downing Fresno State 92-87 in double overtime.

Despite falling in the WACTournament Championship game to Rice, Tech received an at-large berth into the Tournament as a No. 11 seed.

Tech traveled to Storrs, Conneticut, and faced No. 6 seed

and Top 25 Temple in the first round. Despite dominating the Owls for the entire first half, the Lady Techsters eventually fell 66-61.

In addition to Williams earning the WAC Player of the Year honor, Barkus was named second team all-WAC while the pair both made the WAC all-defensive team.

One week following the conclusion of the season, head coach Kurt Budke departed for the head coaching job at Oklahoma State.

On April 8th, 2005, Chris Long was named as the fourth head coach in the program’s history in a press conference in the Hall of Fame Room at the Thomas Assembly Center.

Following the season, Taylor was selected in the second round of the WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics.

2005-06

After opening his tenure as the head coach of the Louisiana Tech women’s basketball program with a loss at Western Kentucky, Chris Long and his team bounced right back in record-breaking fashion.

Trailing by 19 points with less than eight minutes to play, Long and Co. rallied for a 95-91 double overtime win over Iowa in game No. 2 of the year ... setting the tone for another successful season.

Behind the leadership of four-year starting point guard Tasha Williams and the record-breaking outside shooting of senior Aarica Ray-Boyd, Tech not only won its sixth straight regular season Western Athletic Conference title and earned the automatic berth to the program’s 25th straight NCAA Tournament, but they regained their rightful place among the nation’s Top 25.

Tech overcame a lot of adversity and posted a very impressive 26-5 record on the season and earned a trip to Denver, Colo., for the first two rounds of the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

Their opening round match-up against Florida State was considered one of the premier battles in the first round of the tournament by the women’s college basketball experts.

However, only three days prior to the game, Williams suffered a severe ankle injury which proved costly to the Techsters and their fans as the Seminoles downed Tech 80-71, ending the Lady Techsters season.

Williams, Ray-Boyd, Shan Moore and Ty Moore all earned AllWAC honors during the season while Williams and Ray-Boyd both earned Kodak All-District accolades.

2006-07

Louisiana Tech simply had a tough year.

Between a tough non-conference schedule that featured eventual Final Four opponents in Tennessee and LSU and six losses by six points or less, 2006-07 wasn’t a typical Louisiana Tech season.

The Techsters started out the year losing seven of their first nine games before rebounding and ending the year winning 15 of their last 21.

Head coach Chris Long’s team was streaky at best, posting some impressive wins over the likes of Mississippi State, Rice, Alabama, and Boise State.

When they were on, the Lady Techsters were tough to beat as proven by the program winning its sixth straight Western Athletic Conference regular season title.

However, inconsistent offensive play eventually spelled doom as a first round loss in the 2007 WAC Tournament ended the program’s 25 year streak of making the NCAA Tournament.

Senior Shan Moore was named the 2007 WAC Player of the Year while junior Jo Sneed was named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Newcomer of the Year.

2007-08

For the second straight year, Louisiana Tech came up short in its bid for the NCAA Tournament as the Lady Techsters fell in the semifinals of the 2008 Western Athletic Conference Tournament.

What started out as a season full of high hopes turned into a year of injuries and missed opportunities as the Lady Techsters finished 16-15.

It was the program’s 34th straight winning season -- Tech has never had a losing campaign. However, in Ruston, La., expectations are always high and anything less than an NCAA Tournament berth is considered a down season.

A preseason injury to freshman guard Sidney Stewart and a season-ending injury to sophomore guard Whitney Jones in the seventh game of the year increased the challenges for Tech head coach Chris Long and Co.

The highlight of the season was the play of senior forward Jo Sneed, who averaged a double double and earned first team all-WAC and all-state honors, and the development of freshmen Adrienne Johnson and Tarkeisha Wysinger.

2008-09

It proved to be an up and down season for the Lady Techsters in 2008-09 as LA Tech hovered around the .500 mark for most of the year. It took a late season run that saw the Lady Techsters win their final seven WAC regular season games to propel the program to a share of the conference title.

Interim head coach Teresa Weatherspoon and Co. entered the WAC Tournament as the No. 2 seed and saw its eight-game winning streak snapped in a memorable 91-88 overtime loss to Nevada in the WAC Tournament semifinals.

However, the Lady Techsters earned a berth in the WNIT where they dismantled Conference USA regular season champion SMU before falling in the second round to Illinois State.

Tech posted a 21-13 mark on the year, the 29th season of 20 or more victories.

Junior Shanavia Dowdell was named the WAC Player of the Year and first team all-state while sophomore Adrienne Johnson earned first team all-conference and all-state honors. Johnson was also named to the WAC All-Defensive team.

2009-10

Back to the Big Dance. The Lady Techsters returned to their rightful place in the postseason as Teresa Weatherspoon and Co. recorded a mark of 23-9 which included a heart-stopping 68-66 victory over Fresno State in the WAC Tournament championship game.

The non-conference portion of the season was highlighted with matchups against Top 10 foes LSU and Baylor as the Lady Techsters dropped a tough 77-74 contest against the Tigers in Ruston before falling 77-67 to the eventual Final Four participant Bears in Waco.

After splitting their first six WAC games of the year, the season-changer came in a home game against Idaho. Tech trailed by four points with 28 seconds to play, but back-to-back three-pointers including the game-tying one by Jasmine Bendolph with eight seconds to play sent the game into overtime. Tech won 74-71 which started a stretch of eight wins over a nine-game span.

Entering the WAC Tournament as the No. 2 seed, Tech defeated Utah State easily in the Quarterfinals before downing host Nevada 80-77 in a semifinal classic -- setting up a showdown with Fresno State which had won 18 straight WAC games and 19 straight games overall.

The Lady Techsters led by double digits in the first half before trailing 37-36 at the break. After building a nine-point lead in the final half, Tech watched Fresno State fight back to take a one-point lead with less than a minute to play.

However, Bendolph sank an 18-footer with the shot clock running down and Tech hung on for the win.

The Techsters earned a No. 14 seed and traveled to face ACC champion Florida State on their home floor in the NCAA Tournament. Behind 28 points from Shanavia Dowdell, Tech took the Seminoles down to the wire before falling.

Dowdell earned her second straight WAC Player of the Year award while Teresa Weatherspoon was named the WBCA Maggie Dixon Rookie Coach of the Year.

2010-11

Despite suffering through a modest three-game losing streak early in the season, Louisiana Tech posted impressive non-conference wins over Georgia, Tulane and Mississippi State that catapulted the Lady Techsters onto the national scene.

Led by eventual All-American forward Adrienne Johnson, Tech entered Western Athletic Conference play and proceeded to reel off 13 straight victories, including a pair of memorable overtime wins against WAC rival Fresno State.

The first was a 94-93 triple overtime win over Fresno State at the Save Mart Center when Brietta Thomas drained a three-pointer with 2.6 seconds to play in third overtime. Three weeks later, Johnson hit a free throw late in regulation to send the rematch into overtime where Tech prevailed 90-84 before 7,123 fans at the Thomas Assembly Center.

The Lady Techsters stumbled in Reno with a 71-66 loss to Nevada but rebounded with a pair of home wins over Boise State and Idaho to capture the outright league regular season title for the eighth time in 10 years.

Tech recorded a milestone with its 1000th program win -- a 66-59 victory over Nevada in the semifinals of the WAC Tournament, setting up another rematch with Fresno State.

This time Fresno State was the team to hit the big shot as the Bulldogs banked home a shot with less than a second to play to defeat Tech 78-76 for the WAC Tournament title.

Despite the loss, Weatherspoon and Co. earned the program’s 27th appearance in the NCAA Tournament where it fell to Rutgers in the first round in a game played at the CenturyTel Center in Shreveport.

Johnson, who was named the WAC Player of the Year and a finalist for the Wade Trophy, was selected in the second round of the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun.

2011-12

Louisiana Tech got off to a tough start and never truly recovered as the Lady Techsters finished a roller coaster ride of a season at 17-15, dropping the championships game of the 2012 WAC Tournament against Fresno State.

Tech lost six of its first eight games of the year with single digit losses to Seton Hall, Alabama and Tulane and wins over eventual NCAA Tournament participant UALR and old rival Old Dominion.

The Lady Techsters then started to right the ship, winning five of its next six games including victories over SEC foe Mississippi State and a triple overtime win against Prairie View A&M.

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

The Techsters finished third in the league race and entered the WAC Tournament where it defeated Hawaii in the first round before upsetting No. 2 seed Utah State in the semifinals. LA Tech needed one more win to qualify for its third straight NCAA Tournament but fell 89-61 to the Bulldogs as the season came to an end.

2012-13

Competing in their final year as a member of the Western Athletic Conference, Louisiana Tech endured a tough season as for the first time in program history, the Lady Techsters lost more games than they won.

Despite the struggles of the 14-17 record, the Lady Techsters showed the flare for the dramatic at times as Tech won its first five games of the year by three points or less or in overtime.

In addition to close wins, Tech also recorded the second largest come-from-behind victory in its 40-year history with a 67-58 win over Idaho on Jan. 17 in Moscow. In that game, Tech trailed 50-30 in the second half before ending the game on a 37-8 run.

The Lady Techsters also got some record-setting individual performances as guard Kelia Shelton scored a WAC single game record 45 points in Tech’s 79-73 road win over UTSA on Feb. 7. The 45 points was the second most ever scored by a Lady Techster in a game.

Tech finished fifth in the league standings and won its quarterfinal WAC Tournament game with a dominating 85-58 victory over UTSA. However, the Lady Techsters season came to an end with a loss to Seattle in the semifinals.

2013-14

The first season as a member of Conference USA was not a memorable one for the Lady Techsters as LA Tech recorded its second consecutive losing campaign at 12-20.

Tech did manage to finish the season strong, winning four of its last five games after junior guard Kelia Shelton returned to the floor becoming academically eligible.

The Lady Techsters finished 5-11 in Conference USA play and entered the C-USA Tournament in El Paso as the 14th seed. Behind a balanced offensive attack, Tech upset North Texas and Charlotte to make NCAA history by becoming the highest seed ever to advance to the quarterfinals of a women’s tournament.

However, the Lady Techsters bid at a third straight upset was ended as the home-standing UTEP Miners ended Tech’s season.

Following the season, a coaching change was made as Teresa Weatherspoon was replaced by Tyler Summitt.

2014-15

In Tyler Summitt’s first year with Louisiana Tech, the Lady Techsters showed a never die attitude, finishing the season 16-15.

The goal for Summitt and his staff was to change the culture, it was not going to happen over night. As the season approached the Lady Techsters received media coverage from NBC Nightly News, 60 Minutes Sports, ESPN, USA Today, CNN, Sports Illustrated, the New York Times and many more. With all eyes locked in, LA Tech entered it’s second season in Conference USA.

After an up and down non-conference slate, the Lady Techsters improved on their conference play from a season ago.

The never die attitude showed quickly in conference play the Lady Techsters over came deficits of 18, against UAB, and 19 against Florida

Atlantic.

Louisiana Tech was able to grab a game in the Conference USA Tournament in Birmingham before falling to Middle Tennessee in the quarterfinals to end their season. However, perhaps only Street & Smith’s had the foresight to know as the preseason publication had picked Tech to win it all in October. It wouldn’t be Tech’s last.

2015-16

It was a year of highs and lows in Tyler Summitt’s second and final season at the helm of the program.

The Lady Techsters hit some early season bumps in the road with home losses to Prairie View and McNeese State but also played toeto-toe with Top 15 UCLA in the Bahamas.

Summitt and Co. appeared to be hitting their stride in January when LA Tech won six out of seven games with the lone loss coming to eventual regular season champ UTEP 86-80 in El Paso. Included in the wins during that stretch were a blowout 35-point home win over Southern Miss and an impressive 18-point road win at ODU -- a team that would advance all the way to the C-USA Tournament title game.

However, Tech turned cold, losing seven of its final nine games of the year, including a heart-breaking overtime loss to Rice in the first round of the C-USA Tournament in Birmingham.

The final 14-16 record was just the third losing season in the program’s 42 years, but the third in the last four.

Following the season, Summitt resigned as head coach.

Senior forward Brandi Wingate recorded a stellar individual campaign, earning Louisiana Sports Writers Association State Player of the Year honors and first team all-CUSA accolades. Wingate averaged 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds a game.

2016-17

The first year of the Brooke and Scott Stoehr era was a successful one for the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters. After being tabbbed to finish 12th in the 14-team league, LA Tech surprised most by finishing fourth and earning its first postseason appearance since 2011.

Tech showed signs early in the year with competitive losses to P5 programs such as LSU (77-73), Clemson (78-67, OT) and Auburn (7868).

But the Lady Techsters didn’t get off to a fast start in C-USA play, falling in three of their first five league games. After winning three of the next five to even its league record at 5-5, Tech then reeled off seven straight wins -- the longest winning streak since the 2010-11 season.

Tech entered the C-USA Tournament as the No. 4 seed and advanced to the semifinals before falling to eventual tournament champion WKU.

Stoehr and Co. earned a spot in the WNIT where they fell 75-70 in OT at SMU in the first round.

Year No. 2 under the direction of Brooke and Scott Stoehr was similar to the first year as the Lady Techsters finished third in the Conference USA standings, won 19 games and earned an appearance in the 2018 WNIT.

Tech recorded its first win over a P5 program in seven years when the Lady Techsters defeated Big Ten foe Penn State in Las Vegas in an early season tournament and then almost pulled off a second P5 win, falling at home to Clemson in a competitive contest.

C-USA play saw Tech post a 10-6 record, including impressive road wins over eventual regular season champion UAB and against Rice,

snapping the Owls program-record 15-game home court winning streak. Tech won five of six league games down the stretch to finish behind only UAB and eventual NCAA Tournament participant WKU.

Tech was upset in the first round of the C-USA Tournament, falling to North Texas but still earned a berth in the WNIT. The Lady Techsters season came to an end in a home loss to Missouri State.

2018-19

It was a year of highs and lows for LA Tech as the Lady Techsters recorded some marquee wins over SEC foes Alabama and Ole Miss as well as Conference USA runner-up UAB, snapping the Blazers 10-game winning streak.

However, it ended with five straight losses, including a setback in the first round C-USA Tournament game against Charlotte (55-46), a team Tech had defeated by 37 points earlier in the year.

Senior guard Kierra Anthony was a higlight for Tech, ranking fourth in the country in scoring (23.4 ppg) and setting numerous single game and single season scoring records.

Anthony broke the LA Tech and Conference USA single game scoring record when she netted 50 points in a100-88 overtime victory over Houston (44 of those points coming after hafltime). Tech rallied from 16 points down in the fourth quarter.

She also posted a 45-point effort in a win over Southern Miss and 35 in a victory over Ole Miss.

2019-20

Just when Louisiana Tech was playing its best basketball of the year, the season abruptly came to an end.

Less than 24 hours after LA Tech pulled off a 66-63 upset victory over senior-laden UAB in the first round of the Conference USA Tournament in Frisco, the tournament -- and all of those across the country -- was canceled due to COVID19.

15-15 would be the final record. From a heart-racing win over the Blazers to a heart-breaking cancelation ... that was an illustration of the roller coaster campaign.

Junior Raizel Guinto was a bright spot during the year, earning the Conference USA co-6th Player of the Year Award while hitting 66 threepointers. A trio of youngsters helped lead the way late in the year when the Lady Techsters took two-time defending champion Rice to overtime and WKU to the brink of a loss in Bowling Green. Freshmen Anna Larr Roberson and Lotte Sant and sophomore Keiunna Walker were key cogs and showed signs of what the near future holds

It’s a season that college athletes and their fans will never forget. Trying to play through a world pandemic proved challenging, but the 2020-21 Lady Techsters will be remembered for their relentless focus and determination on their way to a 14-10 record.

Tech found themselves in a lot of close games during Conference USA action, recording an 8-8 mark with five of the eight losses coming by single digits.

The Lady Techsters won their Conference USA Tournament opener with a 50-48 win over Marshall before falling to eventual C-USA champion Middle Tennessee in a game that came down to the final possession.

Keiunna Walker earned second team all-Conference USA honors while Anna Larr Roberson took another stride towards becoming one of the top – if not the best – post player in the league.

Raizel Guinto ended her Tech career as one of the top three-point shooters in the history of the program.

After battling an 0-4 start to conference play, the Lady Techsters rallied to an 11-3 regular season finish to clinch the Conference USA West Division inside the Thomas Assembly Center. The Techsters also made it to the Conference Tournament finals after wins over UAB and Middle Tennessee after completing an 11-point fourth quarter comeback before falling to Charlotte, 68-63.

LA Tech would go on to earn an automatic bid to the WNIT where they faced the University of Houston in Ruston. The Techsters finished the season 21-12 and 11-7 in C-USA play.

Tech would enjoy several statistical highlights over the year including Keiunna Walker becoming the 43rd member of the 1,000 point club, Walker registering the fourth triple double in program history with 27 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists, Anna Larr Roberson’s 44-point night on 20-28 shooting which was the fifth highest single game point total in program history. Walker, first-team, and Roberson, second-team, picked up All-Conference honors while also being selected to the C-USA All-Conference Team.

Head coach Brooke Stoehr surpassed the 100-win mark, moving her into third all-time in program wins ahead of Teresa Weatherspoon and only trailing Sonja Hogg and Leon Barmore. The program also registered its 500th win inside the Thomas Assembly Center and 400th program win on the road.

Kodak All-Americans

When a program’s won 1,139 games, participated in 31 national postseason tournaments including 27 NCAA Tournaments, advanced to 13 Final Fours, competed in eight national championship games and won three national titles, then it’s been fortunate enough to recruit some of the top players in the history of the women’s game. That’s just what Louisiana Tech has accomplished.

Over the 46 years of Lady Techster basketball, the Memorial Gym and Thomas Assembly Center crowds have watched 11 Kodak AllAmericans suit up in the Columbia blue and red Tech uniform. The names ring like a who’s who in the history of the game - Pam Kelly, Angela Turner, Janice Lawrence, Pam Gant, Teresa Weatherspoon, Nora Lewis, Venus Lacy, Vickie Johnson, Debra Williams, Amanda Wilson and Tamicha Jackson.

Four of those individuals - Kelly, Lawrence, Weatherspoon and Johnson - have won the award multiple times thus Tech can claim 16 Kodak All-Americans.

PAM KELLY (1978-82)

Kodak Year(s): 1980, 1981, 1982

When people think about some of the most dominating post players in the history of women’s basketball, Louisiana Tech’s Pam Kelly has to be near the top of the list. Despite the fact Kelly was a mere 6-foot tall, the Columbia, La., native recorded one of the most remarkable careers in Lady Techster history. Tech’s only three-time Kodak All-America honoree first ever recipient, Kelly led Tech to two national championships - the 1980-81 AIAW title and the 1981-82 NCAA title. During her four year career, the 1982 Wade Trophy winner scored an incredible 2,979 points and grabbed 1,511 rebounds while leading the Lady Techsters to a 143-10 record - the most wins ever over a four-year period in the history of the program. Almost 20 years after Kelly’s playing days ended, she still ranks No. 1 in scoring, No. 1 in rebounding, No. 1 in field goals made (1,193), No.1 in free throws made (593), No. 2 in scoring average (19.5) and No. 7 in steals (274). Kelly - whose number is retired - was enshrined in the Louisiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984 and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.

ANGELA TURNER (1978-1982)

Kodak Year(s): 1982

Known affectionately as A.T. by all Lady Techster fans, the sharp-shooting Angela Turner is still considered today as one of the best allaround players in the history of Tech basketball. A key component to Tech’s early success in women’s basketball, Turner helped lead the Lady Techsters to four straight Final Fours and two national championship titles - the 1981

AIAW and the 1982 NCAA. The Saline, La., native started from day one at Tech, averaging 16.0 points and 6.5 rebounds her freshman season, earning her the Louisiana Most Valuable Player award. Her sophomore year was even more impressive as Turner scored 817 points, which still stands No. 2 in the Tech record books for most points in a single season. Turner, who earned her Kodak AllAmerican award her senior season as Tech won its second straight national championship title, exemplified the term studentathlete as she also garnered an NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship. Today, Turner is the only Lady Techster to rank in the Top 10 in points (No. 3 with 2,262), rebounds (No. 6 with 1,073), assists (No. 8 with 466) and steals (No. 3 with 358). She also ranks No. 2 in field goals made (1,021). Her No. 5 jersey has been retired at Tech.

JANICE LAWRENCE

(1980-1984)

Kodak Year(s): 1983, 1984

Many people argue that Janice Lawrence is the greatest player in Louisiana Tech Lady Techster history - an argument that has plenty of factual support. The 6-foot, 3-inch center dominated women’s basketball during her four years at Tech, leading the Lady Techsters to a 136-6 record from 1980 through 1984. Even with her size, Lawrence possessed the ability to shot the 15-footer or put the ball and the floor and go past a defender at any time. The Lucedale, Miss., native participated in four Final Fours and won two national championships during her career while earning almost every individual honor imaginable. Lawrence earned her first Kodak All-American honor following a junior season that saw her average 20.8 points a game. However, that was just the beginning of her accolades. After her senior year, Lawrence earned Kodak All-American honors, and won the Wade Trophy and the Champion Player of the Year award. Today, Lawrence ranks No. 2 in points (2,403), No. 3 in scoring average (17.8), No. 5 in rebounds (1,097), No. 4 in blocked shots (189) and No. 5 in steals (291). Lawrence proceeded to win

a gold medal in the 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles before playing for three seasons with the WNBA’s Cleveland Rockers. Lawrence, whose jersey has been retired at Tech, was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in July of 2005 and the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.

PAM GANT (1982-85)

Kodak Year(s): 1985

Without a doubt the deadliest outside shooter in the history of Lady Techster basketball is Pam Gant. The 5-foot-7-inch guard lettered at Tech from 1982 through 1985 and unfortunately played prior to the NCAA’s adoption of the three-point line in women’s basketball. Her outside shooting prowess was known across the nation as Gant connected on an incredible 54.6 percent of her field goal attempts during her four-year career, including an even more amazing 57.5 percent her junior and senior seasons. Gant played on three Final Four teams, including the 1981-82 NCAA National Championship team as a freshman. The Joliet, Illinois, native earned her Kodak All-American honor following the 1984-85 season, one in which Gant averaged 23.6 points a game - still a Louisiana Tech record. She recorded two games of 40-plus points during her career (second only to Sheila Ethridge’s three) including a career-best of 42 points in a win over Penn State and six games of 30-plus points. Gant currently ranks No. 12 in points (1,714), and No. 8 in steals (253).

TERESA WEATHERSPOON (1984-1988)

Kodak Year(s); 1987, 1988

Prior to her WNBA All-Star days with the New York Liberty and Los Angeles Sparks, Teresa Weatherspoon recorded an allstar career with the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters. A fearless leader on and off the court, Spoon exemplified the term emotional leader with a burning passion for the game. During Spoon’s playing days, Tech posted a 118-14 record and played in two national championship games. Spoon earned Kodak All-American honors her final two seasons and capped off her spectacular career by winning the 1988 National Championship and earning the Wade Trophy as the nation’s top women’s collegiate basketball player. Known more for her ball-handling and passing abilities than scoring, the Pineland, Texas, native saved her best performances for some of the nation’s top teams, recording a career high 17 assists against then nationally-ranked Louisiana-Monroe and 10 steals against then nationally-ranked UCLA. During her career, Spoon scored 1,087 points, recorded 958 assists and totaled 411 steals with the assists and steals still ranking No. 1 in the Tech record books. Spoon - whose number is retired - captured an Olympic gold medal in the 1988 games prior to becoming a four-time WNBA All-Star starter with the Liberty. She is an enshrined member of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Hall of Fame and will be enshrined in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.

NORA LEWIS (1985-1989)

Kodak Year(s): 1989

Nora Lewis’ Louisiana Tech career didn’t start out on the most positive note, but it sure ended on one. Midway through Lewis’ freshman season - one in which she was averaging 13.3 points and 7.1 rebounds - the forward suffered a season-ending knee injury and missed the remaining games. However, Lewis would not be deterred. The Peoria, Ill., native worked hard during the off-season and responded by averaging 14.2 points and 7.8 rebounds her sophomore campaign before helping guide Tech to the 1988 national championship game her junior season. Lewis earned her Kodak All-American honors following an incredible senior season that saw her average a double-double with 18.3 points and 10.9 rebounds a contest. The 6-foot forward also earned All-American South Conference and

All-Louisiana honors her final two seasons. Currently, Lewis ranks No. 10 in points (1,760), No. 6 in free throws made (377) and No. 7 in rebounds (1,071). Her No. 40 jersey is retired.

VENUS LACY (1987-1990)

Kodak Year(s): 1990

One of the greatest players in the history of Louisiana Tech didn’t start out as a Lady Techster. After playing her freshman season at Old Dominion, Venus Lacy made the decision to transfer to Tech - a move that would pay off for both her and the Lady Techsters. A virtual unknown before her playing days in Ruston, Lacy turned into one of the greatest post players in the country in little time. The 6-foot, 4-inch post helped Tech capture its third national championship during her first season (the 1987-88 NCAA title), averaging 14.5 points and 9.2 rebounds. Her junior campaign Lacy earned the American South Conference and Louisiana Player of the Year honors scoring over 20 points a contest. However, her great career was capped off by earning Kodak All-American honors as well as USBWA and Champion National Player of the Year awards her following her senior season, one in which she averaged 24.2 points a game (still a Louisiana Tech record). The Chattanooga, Tenn., native finished her three-year Tech career ranking No. 4 in points (2,004), No. 1 in scoring average (20.0), No. 6 in field goals made (793), No. 4 in rebounds (1,125) and No. 7 in blocked shots (164). Lacy went on to win an Olympic gold medal in the 1996 games in Atlanta and played for two seasons with the WNBA’s New York Liberty. Her jersey is retired at Tech.

VICKIE JOHNSON

(1993-96)

Kodak Year(s): 1995, 1996

A two-time Kodak All-American (1995 and 1996), Johnson helped re-establish Louisiana Tech’s national prominence in the mid-90s after the Lady Techsters had suffered through two mediocre seasons in 1990 and 1991. Johnson was a four-time All-Sun Belt Conference selection during her playing days and earned Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year honors in 1995 and 1996. The Lady Techsters posted a 116-17 record during her four years including a trip to the national championship game in 1993-94. During her junior year, Johnson

became only the second player since Pam Kelly to lead the team in scoring for three straight seasons. The Coushatta, La., native still remains in the Tech record books, ranking No. 5 in points (1,960), No. 9 in scoring average (15.0), No. 6 in field goals made (793). Johnson - whose jersey is retired - recently became only the seventh player in WNBA history to score 4,000 career points, and has played 12 seasons in the WNBA. She was enshrined in the Louisiana Tech HOF in 2007.

DEBRA WILLIAMS (1993-96)

Kodak Year(s): 1996

Explosive. The perfect adjective to describe former Louisiana Tech great Debra Williams whose offensive moves became legendary around the Thomas Assembly Center during her playing days in the mid-90s. The 5-foot-8-inch guard was blessed with talent and used it to her benefit as she teamed with Vickie Johnson to form the best one-two punch in women’s basketball during the time. Williams could hurt the opponent in a number of ways as her feathery touch from the three-point line was almost as deadly as her ability to take her defender off the dribble. The Houston, Texas, native earned All-Sun Belt Conference accolades three times and capped off her career with the Kodak honor in 1996. Williams earned the most valuable player award at the 1995 Sun Belt Conference Tournament as well as the Midwest Regional Tournament. One of the top three-point threats in Tech history, Williams ended her playing days as the Lady Techsters all-time leader in treys. Currently, she ranks No. 11 in points (1,749), No. 3 in three-pointers made (136) and attempted (378), No. 7 in field goals attempted (1,574) and No. 10 in three-point field goal percentage (34.0). Williams played for the Portland Power of the American Basketball League until 1998 when the league folded.

AMANDA WILSON

(1996-99)

Kodak Year(s): 1999

If ever a player possessed self-confidence, Louisiana Tech’s Amanda Wilson was the one. After a stellar prep career at Shreveport’s Evangel High School, Wilson made the easy decision to sign with the Lady Techsters and make the 60-mile move to Ruston ... a move Tech fans were thrilled about. After averag-

WNBA ROOKIES OF THE YEAR

Former Techsters Betty Lennox and Cheryl Ford have both earned the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award.

IRON WOMAN

Former Techster Vickie Johnson retired following the 2009 season after a stellar 13-year WNBA career that saw her play more than 12,000 minutes.

DID YOU KNOW?

Former Louisiana Tech star Cheryl Ford led the Detroit Shock to three WNBA titles.

“There is no doubt that (my) four years at Louisiana Tech prepared me for this level. It prepared me competition-wise as well as physically and mentally. The people I practiced against every day at Tech only made me better and that helped me make the adjustment to the WNBA.”

-- Cheryl Ford, former Techster and 2003 WNBA Rookie of the Year

TERESA WEATHERSPOON IS ONE OF 21 WNBA PLAYERS WHO PLAYED COLLEGIATELY AT LOUISIANA TECH.

Louisiana Tech honored one of the most influential figures in the game of women’s basketball as the University unveiled a statue in honor of Hall of Fame coach Leon Barmore on the front steps of the Thomas Assembly Center on Oct. 22, 2021.

Barmore joined the Lady Techster coaching staff in 1977. During the next glorious 25 years until his retirement in 2002, he built a record of 576-87, the highest winning percentage in the history of both men’s and women’s college basketball. He guided Louisiana Tech’s Lady Techsters to 13 Final Fours, eight national title games, and three national championships.

He served as the assistant coach from 1977 through 1982, co-head coach from 1982 through 1985, and head coach from 1985 through 2002. He was a part of 24 national postseason tournaments, made national championship appearances in 1979, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1987, 1988, 1994 and 1998, and earned national championships in 1981 (AIAW), 1982 (NCAA) and 1988 (NCAA).

The Ruston native coached 16 Kodak All-Americans, 14 WNBA players, four Olympians, and three Wade Trophy winners. He was a nine-time Conference Coach of the Year, the 1988 Naismith National Coach of the Year, the 1990 and 1996 United States Basketball Association (USBWA) National Coach of the Year, and the 1990 USBWA co-Coach of the Decade.

Coach Barmore is enshrined into several top tier hall of fames: Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame; Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame; Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame; Louisiana Tech Athletics Hall of Fame.

His impact on his players transcended the lessons on the court, molding them into highly successful leaders in life following their playing days.

The man with the steely stare displayed extraordinary loyalty to Louisiana Tech and Ruston. He bled red and blue. Despite numerous opportunities throughout his career to move to Power 5 programs, Coach Barmore stood firm in his commitment to his alma mater and his community.

His passion for both places is only surpassed by his love for his family. Coach Barmore boasts his own starting five: wife Rachel, daughter Shannon, son-in-law Karl, and twin granddaughters Sophie and Ellie. They make up his own personal Hall of Fame.

THOMAS ASSEMBLY Center

The Thomas Assembly Center has been the home to some of the most exciting women’s basketball in the country for the past two and a half decades.

The Louisiana Tech Lady Techster basketball program has done nothing less than dominate on their home courts during the 44-year history of the women’s basketball program. Whether playing in old Memorial Gym from 1974 through March of 1982 or in the Thomas Assembly Center since November of 1982, Louisiana Tech has produced a wonloss record unmatched by any other women’s basketball program nationwide.

From the very first win at Memorial Gym against LSU (97-83) in 1974-75 to the inaugural victory at the Thomas Assembly Center against Alabama (83-56) in 1982-83, the Lady Techsters have owned opponents in Ruston, La.

Over the course of the history of women’s basketball at Louisiana Tech, the

Lady Techsters have posted a record of 57699 in games played in Ruston. The winning percentage of 85.3 percent ranks Ruston as one of the hardest place in the country to play in women’s basketball.

On the list of all-time toughest home arenas, both the Thomas Assembly Center and Memorial Gym rank in the top 10 in the country. Louisiana Tech has posted a mark of 503-96 at the Assembly Center (84.0%) and a record of 90-6 at Memorial Gym (93.75%).

The Lady Techsters have posted home winning streaks of 49, 52 and 62 games, which all rank in the Top 15 in Division I history.

Even more impressive is the fact Louisiana Tech is 48-2 all-time in national postseason games in Ruston, La. The Lady Techsters were 7-0 during the 1970s in the state AIAW Tournament, 4-0 in the national AIAW Tournament, a perfect 36-0 in the NCAA

MILESTONE WINS IN RUSTON

Tournament and 1- 2 in the WNIT.

Despite the incredible record in Ruston, one interesting fact is that Louisiana Tech lost its first home game ever played in both Memorial Gym (59-55 to Southeastern Louisiana in 1974-75) and the Thomas Assembly Center (64-58 to Southern California in 1982-83).

LA Tech won its 500th game inside the Thomas Assembly Center on Feb. 7, 2022 over UTEP, 68-65.

WEEK-BY-WEEK TOP 25

FINAL POLLS

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Mel Greenberg began the Associated Press Women’s Basketball Top 20 poll at the start of the 1976-77 season.

What began as a nationwide panel of 34 coaches now numbers 44 and represents all geographical areas of the nation as well as every conference. In 1989-90 the poll increased from 20 to 25 teams. Below is a history and indepth look at Louisiana Tech’s prominence in the poll.

In the course of winning three national titles, advancing to eight championship games, earning 13 Final Four appearances and dominating the women’s game, Louisiana Tech has been a household name in women’s basketball ... just ask the AP Voters.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT @LKGuice

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

One of Guice’s first achievements at Tech was earning a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture in 1976. While he was an undergraduate, Guice found a passion for Engineering and went on to earn a master’s degree in Civil Engineering from Tech in 1978. He earned his PhD in Civil Engineering at Texas A&M University in 1986 and decided to pursue teaching as his career.

Guice’s dedication to his students and the University would lead to his appointment as Dean of the College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Guice supported innovations in the college, including a transformative redesign of the first-year curriculum for engineering and science students.

With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Guice led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus – a research park connecting the University and downtown Ruston. The Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations. Construction on Tech Pointe II began this spring.

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

Throughout his career, Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Tech. His 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.

Guice and his wife Kathy have three children and four grandchildren.

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 foot on the Louisiana Tech University campus.

Wood was formally introduced as Vice President and Director of Athletics by University President Dr. Les Guice during a press conference held in the Chris Richardson Suite of the Joe Aillet Stadium Press Box on Oct. 23, 2020.

The 23-year veteran of collegiate athletics came to Ruston following a five-year stint at UCF, becoming the first Director of Athletics in LA Tech history to also serve as a Vice President while also becoming the first African-American Vice President and the first minority Director of Athletics in the University’s history.

Wood’s energy, enthusiasm and electric personality have hit home with the LA Tech student-athletes, coaches, support staff and fan base during his two years as AD.

And since coming on board during one of the most trying times in collegiate athletics history, his leadership has helped LA Tech gain momentum – both on and off the playing surfaces.

Athletically, that momentum can be seen in the number of championships won.

• Baseball – 2021 C-USA West Division champions and 2022 C-USA Tournament champions

• Softball – 2022 C-USA Regular Season champions

• Women’s Basketball – 2022 C-USA West Division champions

• Men’s Basketball – 2021 C-USA West Division champions

LA Tech is the only Division I school in the country to have won a conference regular season title in baseball, softball, men’s basketball and women’s basketball within the last two years. The Bulldog and Lady Techster Basketball teams also made it to the Conference USA Championship game in 2022, marking just the eighth time in C-USA history a school has had both programs advance to the finals.

Other team highlights during Wood’s tenure include the seventh straight bowl appearance by Bulldog Football, back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances by the Bowling program, Bulldog Basketball’s run to the 2021 NIT Final Four, individual NCAA postseason qualifiers in Track and Field and Golf, and back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances by Bulldog Baseball (including the first ever host of an NCAA Regional in 2021).

LA Tech also had plenty of champions in the classroom with numerous academic records broken.

• 230 student-athletes named to the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll (2021-22)

• 75 student-athletes receiving the C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal (2021-22)

• 11 programs tallying a multi-year APR rate of at least 970 (2020-21)

• 8 programs recording a perfect 1,000 single-year APR score (2020-21)

Other impressive academic accomplishments over the last two years have included 24 conference All-Academic Team honorees, 12 CoSIDA Academic All-District selections (record-high nine in 2020-21) and five CoSIDA Academic All-American selections (record-high three in 2020-21).

On the fundraising front this past year, the University totaled $5.6M in dollars received to athletics, the highest since FY17, with the exception of disaster relief efforts. The Louisiana Tech Athletics Club (LTAC) exceeded $1.53 million in commitments in FY22, marking the first time surpassing $1.5 million since the 2018-19 academic year. In addition, the average LTAC gift increased by 20 percent from FY21 to FY22. And for a second straight year, giving among full-time athletic department employees reached 100 percent.

Tech has also seen several seven-figure commitment made by individual donors on capital projects that support the Bulldog and Lady Techster student-athletes. The University opened brand new facilities in J.C. 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 that totaled in excess of $40 million in new athletics facility construction.

The University has also begun raising funds for the construction of the Sarah and A.L. Williams Champions Plaza as well as the new StudentAthlete Success Center and pair of new Daktronics video scoreboards as part of the $15 million Joe Aillet Stadium north end zone project.

All of these momentum-building moments have led to exponential growth in the brand as well through social media and the official athletics website LATechSports.com. In 2021-22, there was a 17.9 percent increase in followers across all social media platforms with half of the accounts generating at least a 20 percent growth in followers. The newly redesigned website saw its most web traffic ever with record highs in page views (3.06 million), sessions (1.34 million) and users (780,000+).

All of these accomplishments are signs of the three pillars – Culture, Class and Competitive Excellence.

The Bronx, New York, native has also served in a variety of roles outside of LA Tech, having been appointed to the Division I NCAA Football Oversight Committee and to the Division I Council as well as being named Chair of the Football Success Committee.

Prior to making Ruston his new home, Wood spent more than two decades serving within athletics administration. In addition to his time at UCF, he has held full-time positions at the University of Arkansas, the Atlantic Coast Conference, Wake Forest University and the University of New Haven.

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.

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.

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 (2009-
