MATT TERRY HEAD COACH @CoachMattTerry

Conference USA Coach of the Year Matt Terry heads into his seventh season at the helm of the Louisiana Tech Golf program.

After signing a contract extension in the summer of 2022, Terry went on to become just the third LA Tech head coach in the program's history to earn conference coach of the year honors and the first in 40 years.

Terry's Bulldogs ended up reaching the match play portion of the 2023 CUSA Championship for just the second time in program history, which included a win over No. 2 seed Middle Tennessee to reach the finals. That was not the only highlight from the postseason event as James Swash claimed the CUSA individual title, the first Bulldog to be an individual medalist since 1980. In doing so, the First Team All-Conference USA selection earned an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Norman Regional where he tied for 21st, the second highest finish by a LA Tech golfer ever at a regional.

It was the second straight season Terry coached an individual to an NCAA Regional, having guided Sam Murphy in 2022. As a team, LA Tech registered four top-five finishes and set a program record for posting nine rounds at par or better. The season started out with placing fourth at the Jim Rivers Intercollegiate, a home event where the Bulldogs shot a combined 854 (-10), their lowest 54-hole total since 2015 and fourth lowest on record. It was also an event that saw Murphy take home first-place honors after firing a 203 (-13). Murphy, a Second Team All-Conference USA selection, ended the season tying for 23rd at the NCAA Norman Regional.

In the 2020-21 season, Terry was named the LSWA Louisiana Coach of the Year after LA Tech finished with three top-five finishes: LaTour Intercollegiate (1st, -12), Jim Rivers Intercollegiate (4th, -4), and Linger Longer Invitational (4th, -4). The team finished the LaTour Intercollegiate 18 strokes ahead of second place Jacksonville State as they registered a combined -12 (288-276=564). Tech's -12 (276) second round performance tied for the lowest team round score in program history. Mac Murphy went on to be named Third Team all-Conference USA.

In the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season, The Bulldogs placed in the top-10 at five of their six tournaments during the season and routinely outpaced higher-ranked teams. In 2018-19, the Bulldogs picked up five top-ten finishes, including a victory at the Jerry Weeks Match Play tournament. Terry coached Swash who earned CUSA Freshman of the Year honors that season.

Prior to coming to Ruston, Terry spent 15 years building highly success men's and women's golf programs at Troy University. Terry spent all 15 seasons at the helm of the Troy men's golf team, the final four as the Director of Golf, and 11 seasons guiding the women's golf team. Under his leadership and vision, the Trojans reached its pinnacle in 2015 as both the men's and women's teams competed in the NCAA Regionals.

That started a three-year stretch where the Trojans competed in the NCAA Regionals in 2015, 2016, and 2017 while the Troy women advanced to the NCAA Regionals three times in the span of four years (2014, 2015, and 2017).

Terry saw his hard work pay off as the Troy men's team won the 2016 Sun Belt Conference Championship -- its first ever as a member of the league -- while earning its second straight NCAA Regional bid. The Trojans played in the Franklin Regional as the Sun Belt's automatic selection. The Trojans made their first appearance in an NCAA Regional under Terry after earning an at-large bid to the New Haven Regional in 2015.

The 2017 season saw the program earn its third straight berth into the NCAA Regionals as the Trojans were tabbed as an at-large selection into the NCAA College Grove Regional at The Grove. The Trojans finished in the sixth place, just one spot from qualifying as a team for the NCAA Championships.

In addition to the team accomplishments, Troy sent two individuals to the NCAA Championships as Tolver Dozier (2015) and Cam Norman (2017) both played their way through the Regionals to advance to the highest stage.

Six of Terry's former players are currently playing professionally -- James Swash (PGA Tour Canada), Sam Murphy, Mac Murphy, Ryan Alford, Karsten Green, and Sofia Björkman (Nordea Tour).

Prior to coming to Troy in the fall of 2002, Terry served as the head coach at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. During his three seasons there, he led the Buccaneers to the national tournament three times, finishing in third place twice before winning the championship in 2002.

A native of Moulton, Alabama, Terry has been an avid golfer since dropping baseball to concentrate on the sport in high school. He served as director of the Tuscaloosa Junior Golf Tour, supervising up to 175 children ages 8 to 18. Terry also has experience as a teacher, serving as the assistant pro at the Turtle Creek Golf Club in Rockledge, Florida.

Terry has professional experience playing on the Hooters, Central Florida/Tommy Armour, and North Florida PGA Winter tours. He also participated in the 1988 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament, better known as q-school.

Born in Augusta, Georgia, Terry received his bachelor's degree in marketing from the University of Alabama in 1996. He is married to the former Dixie McCreless and the couple has three children: Mya, Alyssa, and Sawyer.

HONORS & AWARDS

DR. LES GUICE

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 is near completion.

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.

DR. ERIC A. WOOD

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS/VICE PRESIDENT @EWOOD_AD

Culture. Class. Competitive Excellence. Those are the pillars that Dr. Eric A. Wood has embraced and vocalized since stepping foot on the Louisiana Tech University campus Oct. 23, 2020 when he was formally introduced as Vice President and Director of Athletics by University President Dr. Les Guice.

The 24-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 three 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 CUSA West Division champions and 2022 CUSA Tournament champions

• Softball – 2022 CUSA Regular Season champions

• Women’s Basketball – 2022 CUSA West Division champions

• Men’s Basketball – 2021 CUSA West Division champions

LA Tech was 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 two-year span of 2021-22. The Bulldog and Lady Techster Basketball teams also made it to the Conference USA Championship game in 2022, marking just the eighth time in CUSA 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-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 during Wood’s time as AD.

• 987 single-year APR average and 981 multi-year APR average

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

• 75 student-athletes receiving the CUSA Commissioner’s Academic Medal (202122)

• 8 programs recording a perfect 1,000 single-year APR score (2021-22 and 202021)

Other impressive academic accomplishments over the last three years have included 39 conference All-Academic Team honorees, 34 CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict selections (record-high 22 in 2022-23), and six CoSIDA Academic AllAmerican selections (record-high three in 2020-21).

On the fundraising front, the University has totaled nearly $20M in dollars received in athletics during Wood’s tenure, including $6.18M for FY23. A primary reason for the increase in commitments this past year was due to the Aug. 1, 2022 launch of the Aillet Society, the first-ever major giving society with five-year commitments of $25,000 or more. Since the launch one year ago, 60 shareholders across seven states have joined the Aillet Society with the median gift being $50,000.

The Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC) continued to thrive as well in FY23 with a record 1,550 total donors, a 45 percent increase from FY22. LA Tech Athletics also felt the fundraising impact on University Giving Day on April 20 of this year, which ended with a record-setting $1.8M from 177 donors. The staff within LA Tech Athletics continues to play a role in philanthropic support with 100 percent giving among full-time employees all three years Wood has served as AD.

The many six- and seven-figure commitments made by individual donors have been for 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 latest capital project includes the construction of the Sarah and A.L.

Williams Champions Plaza, which will honor the most highly-decorated LA Tech student-athletes. The plaza is part of a revamped north end zone project at Joe Aillet Stadium that will include a new Daktronics video board and the new Student-Athlete Success Center.

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. There has been a 17.1 percent increase in followers across all social media platforms with half of the accounts generating at least a 15 percent growth in followers. The 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+) in 2021-22.

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. He also served as a postgraduate intern at the NCAA national office and a graduate assistant at Clemson University early in his career.

At every level of his professional career, Wood has made an impact. His qualifications and accomplishments include:

• Sacred Heart University Board of Trustees

• Head coach hires in football (Sonny Cumbie), men’s basketball (Talvin Hester), softball (2022 CUSA Coach of the Year Josh Taylor), soccer (Steve Voltz), track and field (Brian Johnson), and tennis (Amy Sargeant)

• 2020-21 University of Arkansas Outstanding Alumni of the Year-College of Health, Human Performance & Recreation

• 2019 “Next Up” honoree presented by Adidas and College AD for senior level administrators

• Athletics Representative on the UCF Presidents Advisory Staff Council

• 2016 Top 40 Under 40 in the Arkansas Business Journal

• 2009 graduate of the NCAA’s Leadership Institute

• NCAA, NLI, Division I-A Athletics Director’s Association (Now Lead1), USTA committee service

• 1994-1998 NCAA football student-athlete

• 1998 Medal of Merit recipient as student-athlete of the Year

During his tenure at UCF, Wood served as a member of the executive leadership team while also representing the department on the President’s Advisory Staff Council and serving as sport administrator for the football and men’s basketball programs. Wood had administrative oversight of the Varsity Knights alumni letterwinners

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.

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 (2009-11).

Wood was the Director of Student-Athlete Programs and Compliance at the ACC (2005-09) following a stint as the Assistant Director for Compliance at Wake Forest (2004-05). He began his full-time collegiate athletic administration career as the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Development at the University of New Haven (2003-04).

He is a 1998 graduate of Sacred Heart University, earning his degree in Psychology. He was a three-year starter at cornerback for the Pioneer football team with one outdoor season as a member of the track and field team.

Wood earned a Medal of Merit, the athletic department’s highest honor, as the Student-Athlete of the Year his senior year at Sacred Heart. He completed his master’s degree in counseling and guidance services at Clemson University in May 2000 and his Doctorate of Education in Sports Management at the University of Arkansas in 2016.

Wood and his wife Celia have four children – Eliana, Nia, Alyssa, and Elijah.
