Lady Demons congratulating Cassandra Barefield on one of 14 homers last season.

“To say we have talent is an understatement, so we’re really focusing on bringing that talent together to make it a final product,” said sixth-year head coach Donald. Pickett. “With such an experienced infield, we’re really leaning on them to be the backbone of this team.”

After a team vote, seniors Cali Burke, Kaylee Guidry, Tara McKenney and Brianna Rodriguez have been named team captains, and will lead the team alongside a number of other strong individuals. The rundown The entire infield received preseason All-Southland Conference accolades, including first team selection Rodriguez, who will anchor the first base corner along with junior Brittany Virgoe on the opposite side at third. McKenney and Burke will hold down the middle at shortstop and second base, respectively. Behind the plate, Cheyenne DelaGarza, who notched All-Southland honorable mention last season, returns after putting a dent in the NSU individual record book, recording a .993 fielding percentage (5th) in 2013.

Senior Brianna Rodriguez

The outfield trio is still in the works as returners Shenequia Abby and Natalie Landry compete for positions with freshman Brittney Jones, Amanda Fulkerson and Micayla Sorosiak, who each bring their own special talents. Guidry will lead from the circle after nailing down a 2.06 era while striking out 76 batters in 98.1 innings last season. She will set the pace for a young group of pitchers composed of sophomore Baylee Gray and four freshman, including fall season standouts Skylar Cagle and Micaela Bouvier.

The Lady Demons return the entire infield for the third season in a row, and have brought in a strong 10-member freshman class that will add a world of depth and talent to the already impressive squad, who claimed the program’s fourth Southland Conference tournament championship and berth to the NCAA Tournament last season.

Seven returners garner spots in the NSU individual and career records books, highlighted by seniors Tara McKenney andBrianna Rodriguez holding six different marks in the two ledgers. the schedule The Lady Demons put together an intense schedule for 2014 with games set for five top-30 finishers, including four Southeastern Conference foes and three super-regional attendees.

“We played some really strong teams last season, and did well against them, so we want to continue with that,” said Pickett. “Playing top-30 teams and schools that made it a significant distance in the NCAA Tournament will certainly challenge the team and prepare us for our Southland Conference games.”

The 50-game schedule kicks off at the Troy Subway Invitational in Troy, Ala., with contests against North Florida and the host Trojans on Feb. 7, No. 9 Alabama the following day and Middle Tennessee State on Feb. 9.

6th Season at NSU • Tennessee-Chattanooga , 2005 Donald Pickett • Head Coach ing for me to see how happy he was when the team won the Southland Conference tournament championship last spring and had the privilege of representing our conference at the NCAA Regionals, because I knew very well the arduous and persevering path that he had taken over the past five seasons,” said NSU director of athletics Greg Burke. Before NSU, Pickett helped Tennessee-Chattanooga to three NCAA Tournament appearances and the brink of a Women’s College World Series berth while on the Mocs’ staff. The 36-year-old Pickett begins his 17th season of collegiate coaching experience. He spent two years helping establish a brand-new program at Memphis after working in a pair of highly successful programs at UT-Chattanooga and Chattanooga State Community College. At Chattanooga State, Pickett was part of a staff that coached the team to three top-five finishes in the junior college softball world series along with three regional and conference championships. He also coached the Austin (Tenn.) Eagles American Softball Association summer team to four national tournament appearances and two top-five finishes in the ASA nationals. THE PICKETT FILE

Donald Pickett enters his sixth year at the helm after guiding Northwestern State to its first conference tournament championship crown and NCAA Tournament appearance since the 2002 season. Pickett coached the Lady Demons to an outstanding 40-15 overall record, 18-7 in Southland Conference play, to note the best finish the program has had in 10+ years, and four spots higher than pre-season polls predicted. His performance made him a shoe-in for All-Louisiana Coach of the Year, announced by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association back in June. On top of earning the highest regular season finish (second), tournament seeding (second) and most Southland wins (18) since 2002, Northwestern State registered the highest winning percentage (.727) ever, longest win steak (11) since the 1998 season, fewest losses (15) since 1983 and the best 20-game start (16-4) since 1990. Pickett’s guidance allowed five of his players to break into the NSU record books and produced eight All-Conference honorees, including first-team member Brianna Rodriguez; five All-Louisiana team members, and five Southland All-Academic recipients. The Lady Demons claimed series victories over every SLC member except regular season champion McNeese State as NSU opened league play with two straight losses to the Cowgirls. Pre-conference season key wins included victories over Mississippi State and Western Kentucky for the Bulldog Battle crown, and two wins over Southern Mississippi and Louisiana Tech at the Southern Mississippi tournament. Pickett carried out plans for a new grandstand and press box for the Lady Demon Softball Complex, which made their debut near the close of the 2013 season as Northwestern State hosted the Southland Conference softball tournament. In order to get the program to where it is today, Pickett revamped recruiting and brought in assistant coaches who have enjoyed success. It first began during the 2010 season when efforts resulted in the best turnaround in Division I softball from the year before. “Donald deserves all the credit in the world for resurrecting the NSU softball program. It was very satisfy-

Coach Donald Pickett with his wife Paige and daughter Ainsley. Working for five seasons under coach Frank Reed at UTC, Pickett helped the Mocs advance within one win of the World Series. The Mocs had an overall 210-126 recordwhile picking up three Southern Conference championships before Pickett joined coach Wendy Thees at Memphis following the first year of softball for the Tigers. Also serving as assistant to Reed at Chattanooga State CC for three seasons, Pickett helped post a 151-27 record, including a 62-3 mark in 2001. A year earlier, Pickett was part of the National Fastpitch Coaching Staff of the Year, and in 2002, Pickett was among the Chattanooga State team that was inducted into the Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame. A 2005 UTC graduate, Pickett is regarded as an excellent recruiter whose expertise coaching hitting and defense is recognized nationally. Coaching and administrative colleagues of Pickett’s were effusive in their praise. “Donald’s softball knowledge is incredible and he does a great job of getting to know his players and recruits,” said Thees. Said Lynn Parkes, the senior woman administrator at Memphis: “Donald Pickett is a man of character and integ

rity. He loves the game of softball and loves working with young people.” In Pickett’s first season as assistant coach at his alma mater, the 2001 Lady Mocs opened the season with backto-back no-hitters and knocked off top-25 teams in Ohio State and Baylor, rolling to a 44-15 record while never dropping more than two games in a row. The Lady Mocs posted two upset wins over top-seeded and No. 12 ranked Florida Atlantic in the NCAA Regionals. UTC then just missed capturing a berth in the World Series after narrow losses to Georgia Tech and Florida State. “There may not be a better fundamental coach out there,” said UTC’s Reed. “He is a good person, the type of person your family would like to be associated with, and he is perhaps one of the most ‘up and coming’ young coaches out there right now.” A strong reference came from an in-state rival of UTC’s, head coach Torey Acheson at Tennessee Tech. “At Tennessee-Chattanooga, those players all became better under him......technically, his knowledge base is really good....he is an upstanding human being; he was raised right.” Said Laura Mincy, assistant athletic director and SWA at UTC: “Donald is very determined and passionate about college softball. He’s a gem.” That’s what he says - the gem part, anyway -- about his wife, Paige, and their daughter, Ainsley Elizabeth, born Friday, Jan. 9, 2009 in Natchitoches.

What began as a small gathering of college administrators nearly 50 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 11 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current member Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence. The successful transformation continues. On Oct. 11, 2011, the Southland Conference announced the addition of Oral Roberts University, effective for the 2012-13 academic year, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma and the Tulsa metropolitan area. Shortly thereafter, on Nov. 21, the Southland announced the addition of Houston Baptist University for the 2013-14 academic year, giving the league an 11th member and its first institution in the region’s largest city, home to significant student-recruitment and alumni bases. The league added Abilene Christian, University of New Orleans and Incarnate Word to the schedule beginning in 2013. The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as Houston, New Orleans, Tulsa and Little Rock, 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 Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

A Look Back at 2013 After claiming the program’s fourth conference tournament championship and berth to the NCAA tournament, the 2013 Northwestern State softball team ends the season with a number of individual and team honors. The Lady Demons (40-15, 18-7 SLC) finished the regular season as the Southland Conference runner-up, noting the best finish the program has had in 10+ years, and four spots higher than the pre-season polls predicted. “Despite having some ups and downs at times, the team was consistent all season long,” said head coach Donald Pickett. “We had a really small number this year so a lot of them played with injuries and just pushed through, which showed a lot of heart and dedication to me.” On top of earning the highest regular season finish (2nd), tournament seeding (2nd) and most Southland wins (18) since 2002, Northwestern State registered the highest winning percentage (.727) ever, longest win streak (11) since the 1998 season, fewest losses (15) since 1983 and the best 20-game start (16-4) since 1990. The Lady Demons claimed series victories over every SLC member besides McNeese State when NSU opened conference play with two losses to the Cowgirls. Northwestern State also had a phenomenal year individually, with five athletes earning spots in the record books. Junior first baseman Brianna Rodriguez earned first team AllSouthland Conference honors after leading the team and the league with 20 doubles as she now ranks second in the program’s individual season record book. The Rowlett, Texas, native also led the team with 46 RBI, another season record, ranking third, just ahead of sophomore Cassandra Barefield with 45 this season. Rodriguez also made her way into the career record book with 1,039 putouts in her three seasons as a Lady Demon, ranking third alltime. Rodriguez hit safely in 12 straight games this year, beginning on 2/20 at Alcorn and ending on 3/5 at Southern. Second team All-Southland selection, Kylie Roos, finished the season 17-5 in the circle, bringing her total career wins to 50, ranking fifth all-time at NSU. Her .772 winning percentage in 2013 ranks third in the season ledger, and her eight shutouts sits fifth. The utility player finished her career fourth in strikeouts (465) and innings pitched (545.2). Tara McKenney earned second team All-SLC for the second year in a row as she led the team with a .363 average and made marks in both record books at NSU. In the individual season book, McKenney ranks second in triples (7) and tied for fifth in runs scored (41). Overall, the junior has collected 11 triples, sitting fourth in the all-time rankings. McKenney recorded the longest hitting streak for the Lady Demons, putting the ball into play 13 games in a row beginning on 4/14 at

Stephen F. Austin and ending 5/11 against Sam Houston State. Barefield earned her first All-Conference selection as she was earned second team honors, finishing the season with 14 homers and a .638 slugging percentage, noted third and fourth in the individual season book, respectively. The Houston, Texas, native currently sits tied for fifth in career homers (22). Catcher Cheyenne DelaGarza was selected All-Conference honorable mention, finishing the season with a .237 average and 31 hits, including three home runs. The junior recorded a .993 fielding percentage, putting her tied for fifth in the season ledger. Brittany Virgoe recorded a 12-game hitting streak at one point, landing her a spot on the All-SLC second team. “I’m really proud of this team and especially of the seniors,” said Pickett. “Performing the way we did this year is a good way to go out for them. This entire team brought life back into our program, and will be remembered for their resiliency, their chemistry and their fight for not giving up no matter how bad the situation was.” The Lady Demons finished the 2013 season with a pair of losses in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional Tournament hosted by LSU, falling to eventual tournament winner Louisiana-Lafayette and Central Connecticut State.

and aptitude. Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score of students has gone up, and high school student leaders are enrolling in Northwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern has received more grant monies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foundations than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. NSU offers courses and degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall have been completely renovated and restored. A new Student Services Center on the site of the former West Caspari Hall was completed in May 2012. Over $32 million in construction by a private company has added two modified residence halls to the campus in recent years. Funding has also been obtained to rebuild the East Caspari Hall and replace the underground electrical distribution system. Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program, for example, won five consecutive national championships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSU men’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national championship tournament. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of directors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Executive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. He currently serves as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree 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 of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate programs. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Program and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, the NatchitochesNorthwestern Symphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in Long Valley,N.J., with their children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in St. Louis with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin. Randy and Brenda Webb

Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State University’s 18th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his Alma Mater the best institution it could be. In his 18th year, it’s clear that Webb is achieving that admirable goal. Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as president and exceeded 10,500 for the first time in history in the fall of 2004. Webb has also been at the forefront in recent years of moving the university toward higher admission standards, which has resulted in some enrollment declines but in the enrollment of students with greater academic potential

Vice President • External Affairs

Only a handful of people have served Northwestern State as long as Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 49th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He begins his 23rd 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 championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relaNSU Athletic Council tions and assists President Dr. Randall J.

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 two decades 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.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

In his 18th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Last February, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. While previously serving on the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet, Burke began his first term on the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance in the fall of 2013. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 17 years as athletic director include 35 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 59 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; and a $500,000 softball grandstand project completed earlier this year. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, notably current staffers Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; 2013 Louisiana softball coach of the Year Donald Pickett; Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman, who just led the volleyball program to its best season in the 31-year history of the program; and several whose success at Northwestern State propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Along with the aforementioned volleyball surge, NSU’s soccer program was the first in Louisiana to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball and tennis made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013, the second in four seasons for Lady Demon tennis. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 19-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High Greg Burke with wife, Susu, and daughter, Catherine. School in May of 2012 and attends Louisiana Tech.

All have heard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Doing Things the Right Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – Brighter Future.
