He also serves in the volunteer role of chariman of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, that was once housed in Prather Coliseum at NSU. Ireland assumed that post in April 1991. In 1981-82, while an undergraduate at Northwestern, Ireland worked as chief of the Shreveport Times Natchitoches Bureau, coordinating news coverage of an eight-parish region along the Red River. From 1982-85, he was assistant SID at Southwestern Louisiana, working with a men's basketball program that made three straight postseason tournament appearances.

In 18 months at the Town Talk, he covered both NSU and LSU sports and won 15 writing awards from the Louisiana Sports Writers' Association. In 2001, the LSWA presented its prestigious Mac Russo Award to Ireland for his contributions to the organization. In 1999, Ireland was awarded honorary membership in the Graduate N Club at NSU by the university's group of athletic lettermen for his service to Northwestern and its athletic program, and in 2003 he was given full membership.

“Great Tradition - Brighter Future”

2009 Season Preview

The Northwestern State Lady Demon volleyball team is ready to turn the corner on a winning street, and no time is better than now as the Lady Demons gear up for the 2009 season. The Lady Demons, who finished 10-17 last season, returns every starter, including four-year seniors - middle blocker Yelena Enwere (team-high 3.62 kills per game) and setter Megan Dockery (team leader in set assists with 929). “I'm really excited about this season,” said fourth year head coach Brittany Uffelman. “We've got a great group of girls returning, but also have some outstanding talent coming in with a couple of transfers and freshmen to add depth. “I think we're building off of how we finished last season where I think we've played the best we have ever played when we battled hard against No. 1 Texas State.” 10

The Lady Demons return every starter from last year’s team, including Taylor Deering (12), Markie Robichau (2), and Laranda Spann (14).

2009 Season Preview

Senior blocker Yelena Enwere is a preseason All-SLC first team selection.

Enwere will be looking to become the school's all-time career leader in kills and total attacks while Dockery is knocking on the door of becoming the career leader in set assists. “We have high expectations coming into the season,” said Dockery. “We have some talented newcomers coming in that are going to help out the program a lot.” “We have a lot of depth this year,” said Enwere. “We're not use to having so many people on the roster. Everyone on the team 2009 Northwestern State Volleball Media Guide

has high expectations for the season.” Joining Enwere and Dockery as starters is senior Markie Robichau (2.26 kpg) and juniors Zanny Castillo (team high 3.81 digs per game), Megan Manning (2.42 dpg), Taylor Deering (1.68 kpg) and Laranda Spann (1.82 kpg). Luana Henriques returns for her senior year after missing all of last season with an injury while transfers Lauren Peltier and Brittany Fruge, along with freshmen Nicole Hajka and Sarah Jones will give the Lady Demons their first full roster of healthy players in several years. “I think this is going to be a team that's going to turn some heads,” said Uffelman. “These girls like to compete and in turn, that's making us better.”

Senior setter Megan Dockery returns for her final season.

Head Coach Brittany Uffelman returns for her fourth season at the helm and sixth as a member of the Lady Demon volleyball staff. “Great Tradition - Brighter Future”

Brittany Uffelman

Lady Demon Coaching Staff

6th season at NSU • 4th as head coach Montana State-Billings ‘04

It’s far from coincidence. The last five seasons have seen unprecedented success in the Lady Demon volleyball program, from the competitive level of the team on the court to the suddenly energized atmosphere in the stands at Prather Coliseum. Who arrived on the volleyball staff five years ago? No doubt, the winning personality, the tireless work ethic and the undaunted approach that Brittany Uffelman brings to work every day has created a culture change for NSU volleyball. How stark is the contrast? NSU owned only 26 conference wins in its 15 previous seasons in the SLC, before Uffelman arrived. In her three seasons, the Lady Demons have posted 23 more SLC triumphs, and have made their first two appearances in the SLC Tournament in each of the past two seasons. Now, with a full roster stocked with Uffelman recruits, there is ample reason to believe Northwestern is poised for a climb into the upper crust of the SLC volleyball scene in

“Coach B’s” second season in charge. Uffelman, who as an assistant coach helped coach Northwestern to its two best finishes in 19 years of Southland Conference volleyball competition, was promoted to head coach of the Lady Demons in February 2006 by Northwestern director of athletics Greg Burke. Uffelman succeeded Leigh Mullins, who guided the Lady Demons to 25 SLC wins in her four seasons. Mullins stepped down so she could move with her infant daughter to join her husband in North Carolina. Uffelman, a Wyoming native and a 2004 graduate of Montana State-Billings, was hired as an assistant in the spring of 2004 by Mullins and immediately impressed those around the NSU volleyball program with her positive

approach and work ethic. She left a lucrative marketing position in the private sector to pursue a Division I coaching position, and two years later became one of the youngest head coaches in the nation at the age of 23 years, 10 months. In the 2005 season, the Lady Demons finished sixth in the 11-team league, an all-time best performance, and qualified for the first time ever for the SLC Tournament, where they lost 3-2 to third-seeded and eventual tournament finalist Texas-San Antonio. Northwestern (11-16 overall, 9-9 in the SLC) posted a school-record nine SLC victories, even in a hurricane-shortened season in which NSU missed a pair of games against teams that didn't qualify for the tournament. Northwestern notched its first-ever wins over Texas State and Texas-Arlington, and only its second victory ever over Texas-San Antonio, in the SLC's regular season. That unprecedented success in SLC play followed a seventh-place 8-12 mark in 2004 that at the time easily ranked as the best showing by the Lady Demons in SLC competition. In 2006, despite a rash of injuries to key personnel, Uffelman’s first year as head coach ended with Northwestern posting six more league wins and making a second consecutive SLC Tournament appearance. 2009 Northwestern State Volleball Media Guide

Lady Demon Coaching Staff Her 2007 season was one for the record book for a Northwestern State volleyball team. The Lady Demons notched their first-ever SLC postseason tournament win after knocking off third-seed TexasArlington, 3-1, to advance to the semifinals, where they bowed to top-seed Stephen F. Austin. Fan support also soared with Uffelman coordinating the program’s outreach activities. An array of promotional activities and community involvement by the team combined with a focus on student participation to generate several crowds over 500 in Prather Coliseum, more than double the previous best attendances. Her recruiting ability and contacts through conducting camps around the region were also attributes that led Burke to promote Uffelman. Uffelman, the daughter of a highly successful prep wrestling coach in Wyoming, believes her age is an asset in the recruiting process. Early results back that up.

Dr. Randall J. Webb Northwestern State President

Dr. Randall J. Webb never misses a chance to tell people about the good things happening at Northwestern State University. And Webb has been responsible to many of those accomplishments. Webb became NSU's'17th president in July 1996 and is the second-longest serving president in the university's 125-year history. During Webb's tenure, enrollment exceeded 10,000 students for the first time, peaking at 10,505 students in the fall of 2004. The university also set records for total graduates in an academic year. With the implementation of selective admissions in the fall of 2005, the academic preparation of freshmen students has increased considerably. Overall enrollment initially decreased after the implementation of selective admissions, but has begun to increase again. Northwestern has improved its academic programs while attracting better-prepared students. The average ACT score of students has risen under Webb's tenure, and student leaders are choosing NSU in large numbers. The university has dramatically increased the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen. While Webb has been president, Northwestern has increased the level of active external grant and contract funding from federal, state and private sources to approximately $20,000,000 annually. The university raised more than $34 million from alumni, friends, supporters, and private industry in its first-ever capital campaign, which exceeded its $18.84 million goal by more than $15 million. A new capital campaign, in honor of Northwestern's 125th anniversary, is now underway. The university has received donations or pledges for its first three $1 million endowed chairs. Northwestern also has 34 endowed professorships worth $100,000 each. NSU has also moved boldly to deliver instruction to students wherever they are. Under Webb, the university has become a state and regional leader in bringing classes to students by compressed video and the Internet. The university offers over twenty degree programs via the Internet and is looking to add more programs in the future. More than half of the students at Northwestern take an electronic class. Under Webb, the university has modernized and improved its facilities. A $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation, and Activity Center was completed in the center of the campus on the site of the old Intramural Building. Projects to renovate Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building and Williamson Hall were also completed. West Caspari Hall was demolished and funding has been received to reconstruct West Caspari as a three-story, one-stop center for student services. Plans call for renovating East Caspari Hall in the future. Northwestern has also built University Place Phases I and II, providing on-campus students with modern residence facilities that best meet their needs. Additional projects include replacement of the entire underground electrical distribution system and the steam distribution system and the improvement of drainage and replacement of the turf at Turpin Stadium. A one-time walk-on center for the Northwestern football team as an undergraduate, Webb has been one of the most avid supporters of the university's athletic programs. Since returning to the Northwestern campus in 1989, Webb has been active as a donor and volunteer. In 1994, he oversaw a successful Northwestern Athletic Association board of directors and served on the NSU Athletic Council. In 19951996, Webb was in charge of the Athletic Integrity Subcommittee for the university's NCAA Certification Self-Study. He served on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and the prestigious and powerful NCAA Executive Council, which oversees all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. The Board of Directors enacted major academic reforms during his tenure. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty at Longwood College in Farmville, Va., from 1966 until 1974. From 1974 until 1976, he was the director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education.

In 1976, Webb moved to Southeastern Louisiana University where he served as director of institutional research and EEO officer from 1976 until 1983 and as registrar and a part-time faculty member in mathematics from 1983 until 1989. Webb returned to NSU in 1989 as dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics. In that position, he exercised campus-wide responsibility for policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate programs.

Webb was a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, and the Natchitoches-Northwestern Symphony Society. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former Demon All-American pitcher Reggie Gatewood, are the parents of two children: Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former Demon baseball player Nick Simokatis, and they have two sons: Nicholas and Benjamin.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President/External Affairs

Jerry Pierce is the Cal Ripken of the Northwestern State athletic program. Day after day, year after year, Pierce is in the lineup, fielding his position with aplomb, and delivering at the plate, knocking a ball out of the park from time to time but always taking an understated profile, seeing himself as a role player. Beginning his 45th year on the university's staff, Pierce's impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches can't be measured as easily as Ripkin's Baseball Hall of Fame statistics, but they are equally indelible. He begins his 20th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state champiNSU Athletic Council onships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had John Ackel already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with Jody Biscoe (chair) distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university Dion Boyett Dusty Dischler (student) operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and Kelee Grimes (student) media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since Dr. Michael Land Mark Lipa the 1970s as he worked under four previous presidents as Dr. Jeff Matthews Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to Dr. Lisa Pollacia NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Kristi Simms A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer for Cathy Sutton the Demon football team during his college years, working closeDr. Sonia Tinsley ly with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism Krist Swinburghe degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Times Jennifer Videtto Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. E x-Officio M ember s In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and Greg Burke returned to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted Donnie Cox to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional Dustin Eubanks responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and other areas through Jodie Heinicka the years. Dr. Patrice Moulton He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame faciliDr. Vicki Parrish ty in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for Jerry Pierce an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana's 20 most influential sports figures by the TimesPicayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie's impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than a decade later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana's higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 20, and Miranda, 9, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Lauren Castle Assistant Director of Special Facilities for Events Operations

In her second year on the NSU athletic staff, Lauren Castle has been a big hit with her upbeat attitude, seemingly endless work ethic, and willingness to touch all the bases to make every facility and every event the best it can be. It's the same approach she used as a three-time All-America softball star at LSU from 2004-06. Under legendary coach Yvette Girouard, Castle compiled a long list of accolades, including being on the 2006 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Watch List as she served as the Lady Tigers' team captain. She graduated from LSU in May 2007. She has worked in administrative roles with two insurance firms while also working at a drilling company near her hometown of Lafayette. Castle's winning personality and her strong organizational and time management skills have been showcased in her new position, along with her ability to adapt to the constant challenges in managing athletic facilities for a wide range of events. She has assumed the title of assistant director of game operations for NSU athletics, using her ability to interact effectively with visiting coaches, game officials, fans, and NSU staff and coaches to great benefit to enhance the home game experience at Northwestern. Last April, Castle, an outfielder and designated player at LSU, was named to the 12-woman All-Lady Tiger Park Team as LSU celebrated its final season playing in that facility. A three-year letterwinner after transferring from UL-Lafayette, Castle earned Easton All-America honors in 2004, 2005, and 2006.

2009 PRESEASON FIRST TEAM

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. What began as a small gathering of college administrators more than 45 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence. On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. Central Arkansas and A&M-Corpus Christi enhanced the Southland Conference in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and principled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage. In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference lineup also consists of Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas State University-San Marcos. All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of approximately 920,000. Famous alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), retired U.S. Central Command General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington). The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and the New Orleans area, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport. The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The Conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's golf, women's soccer, softball, men's and women's tennis, and volleyball.Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest, the sixth such title game appearance since the league joined FCS in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 89 Division I playoff games in 27 years, winning 42 of the contests.
