Young Lady Demons count on experience of 2010 to give hope for strong 2011 campaign After a two-year absence from the Southland Conference postseason tournament, the 2011 version of the Northwestern State Lady Demon soccer team will look to return to the slate that it has been so successful over the years. A unit that returns 22 starters and 7 players with playing experience is one of just two Southland teams to have won four conference tournament championships. And the fact that the Lady Demons will host the 2011 tourney gives the team more motivation to hoist that fifth trophy. “Hosting the Southland Conference tournament is a tremendous honor,” said 13th-year head coach Jimmy Mitchell. “The Southland has developed into one of the most competitive conferences in the country. From top to bottom, anyone can beat anyone on any day. “When the tournament kicks off, there will be teams that won’t qualify that could potentially win it. This balance makes for an exciting race to see who will earn the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.” This Lady Demon team is stacked with a quality senior class that has tremendous talent, character, and work ethic. “This year’s seniors have been mainstays in our program for a long time,” said Mitchell. “I truly believe it is time for them to shine and bring our program back into contention for the league title.” Aside from the experienced senior class, a large sophomore class, who as freshmen in 2010 gained valuable experience with as many as seven newcomers positioned in the starting unit, will be called upon to widen the talent level on the field. Coach Mitchell’s thoughts on the team:

Goalkeeper “With the return of 2010 starter sophomore Jessica Danku in net, the Lady Demons start the year with much more experience than the previous season. “Jessica showed tremendous improvement in 2010 and with her height and ability in distribution, she could join a long list of great goalkeepers that have played at NSU. “Competition makes one better and Jessica will not be without plenty of competition. “Junior Christian Marks showed tremendous improvement and much more composure in the spring and is poised to possibly step into the regular starting role herself.

Goalkeeper Jessica Danku will be competing for the starting job

“Christian has great athleticism and determination. If she is lacking one thing, it is the experience that was gained much of that this past spring. “Junior Sam Furlow, who is coming off of an injury, has the most presence and command of the goalkeeping box and will be looked upon to give leadership to the position. “If she can recover in time from surgery in the offseason, she could challenge for time in the net as well.”

Defense “The defense will be led by senior Camerron Mason at the center back position. “Camerron is solid as a rock on the back line and is a composed player who makes players around her better. “She will be joined on the back line with sophomore returning starters Jade Theriot and Shannon Danku, who stepped in during the 2010 season and played well as true freshmen. “Junior Marissa Lees was moved to the back line in the spring and brought an attacking presence to the field that is much needed. “Sophomore Danielle Harding possesses tremendous speed and athleticism and played much more

composed in the spring and should be a factor when the starters are named. “Alex Rios, a freshmen from Fort Worth who has international playing experience with the Mexico National team, will push for playing time immediately as well. “After suffering through a 2010 season playing three and four players at a time without college experience at the defensive position, the 2011 season appears to be much brighter. “We expect great things from this position. We have prided ourselves on quality defense for years and we should be back to our high standards in 2011.”

“The midfield will be anchored by seniors Rachel O’Steen and Haley Cheshier to begin the 2011 campaign. “O’Steen possesses an unbelievable work ethic and competitive desire. “She will be expected to lead the charge at this position along with Cheshier. “Haley has the physical strength and technical ability to be a force. “Junior Theresa Halle will also be looked upon at the defensive midfield position to challenge for a starting spot. “Sophomore Ashlee Savona, who missed much of the conference season while competing for the Guyana National Team at the World Cup Qualifying Tournament, will add flair and creativity to the attacking midfield position. “Midfielder Taylor Mulnix played well in the spring games and will push for time as well. “She has great technical ability and good vision. “Three freshmen will be looked upon to play significant minutes in the midfield - Destiny LaRue, Julia Ranalli, and Chelsea Schaefer.” Forward “Missing senior Meghan Hunter due to an ACL injury during the 2010 season was a big blow to us, however, she is ready to return and will provide a scoring punch for the for us this season. “Senior Kayla King was limited by injuries last season and should be more explosive and dominate in 2011. “Sophomore Haleigh Altenburg has shown the ability to score goals and became more comfortable Great Tradition • Brighter Future SLC Champions- 2000

with the college game in the spring. “Sophomore Yanci Johnson came alive towards the end of last season and will be called upon to beat players on the dribble. “Sophomore Alexandria Jackson is in the top tier of athletes to have ever played at NSU in terms of overall athleticism. “If A.J can learn to use her athleticism to her advantage, she will be special. “Junior has shown flashes of brilliance and if she stays healthy, she can be a factor for us as well. “One of the most pleasant surprises that came out of the spring practice was sophomore Rebecca Furlow who improved tremendously. “She has the ability to score goals and with her play, has gained the confidence of the coaching staff. “Redshirt freshmen Cassidy Browning, and true freshmen Nicola Saunders and Alex Petermann, all have the ability to step in early and play for us. “We have a great problem here. We have tough decisions to make each day on who should be starting and getting playing time at this position. “This depth will provide for great competition during the preseason and should push us to a higher level. “We are confident that we have the pieces at the forward position to be a scoring threat on our opponents.”

JIMMY MITCHELL HEAD COACH GARDNER-WEBB, 1990 • 13TH SEASON AT NSU • 20TH OVERALL In 12 seasons at Northwestern State, Jimmy Mitchell has transformed the Demon soccer program into one that is recognized as a serious threat every year in and out of conference play. Bringing a determined mentality to the field, Mitchell is highly regarded by his coaching peers in the Northwestern State athletic department as well as around the Southland Conference and state. In addition to being looked at for his affable demeanor, he is respected for the achievements of the Northwestern State soccer program under his leadership. “For the young women in the Demon soccer program, and for their familier, Jimmy has been a stroung and steady figure and an outstanding head coach,” said Demon director of athletics Greg Burke. “He’s a friend to everyone in our department and a supporter of all things Northwestern. He is relentless in his efforts to continue improving Demon soccer and his list of achievements speak for themselves.” Mitchell has taken the Lady Demons to three NCAA tournament appearance in his tenure at Northwestern State. This feat makes NSU the only team in Louisiana to earn three NCAA Tournament berths. The first came in 2000 after winning the Southland Conference regular season and tournament titles. Conference tournament titles took the Lady Demons to the postseason in both 2002 and 2005. The 2000 season team that celebrated NSU’s first NCAA tournament appearance also celebrated becoming the only Louisiana team to ever reach the NCAA tournament. The same team also became the first Southland Conference team to win both regular season and tournament title. With a 15-8 overall record and 10-2 conference mark, the Lady Demons were defeated in the NCAA tournament by Montana who went on to beat Washington in the second round.

Just one year prior to taking the reigns at NSU, Mitchell led his Belmont Abbey team to a 20-4 record and an NCAA Division II Elite Eight appearance.

Mitchell also served as an assistant coach at North Carolina-Charlotte from 19941995 when the 49ers were ranked in the nation’s top 10 first-year programs in Division I. While Mitchell can boast numerous team honors, he also has several individual honors on his shelf. He was named Southland Conference Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2002 and Louisiana Coach of the Year this same seasons.

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. In January 2011, the Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas and Hunt Sports Group, played host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference office since 2006. The game will be played at Frisco’s Pizza Hut Park for at least the next two seasons. Frisco was named the fastest growing city in the nation in 2010. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision 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 the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 93 Division I playoff games in 29 years, winning 43 of the contests.

Dr. Randall Webb

Northwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State University’s 17th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his Alma Mater the best institution it could be. It is apparent after 15 years 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 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 will be complete early next year. 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 math28

ematics 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 university administration of both graduate and President undergraduate programs. .......................................

Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former NSU AllAmerica baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in McKinney, Texas, withtheir 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.

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 47th 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 21st 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 NSU Athletic Council and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in Jody Biscoe (chair) governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since Dion Boyett the 1970s as he worked under four previous presidents as NorthLyn Christophe western advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Dwight Epperson Division I athletic status in 1977. Kelee Grimes (student) A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer for the Marcus Jones Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Jennifer Kelly Melissa Kelly legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Dr. Michael Land Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving Michelle Pichon as a reporter and editor. He was named executive sports editor at Kristi Simms the age of 24. Mark Swanstrom In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and Ed Ward returned to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted Will Watson (student) to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and other areas through Ex-Officio Members Greg Burke the years. Carrie Crowell He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Dustin Eubanks Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an enDr. Patrice Moulton tity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that Dr. Vicki Parrish remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as director of Jerry Pierce 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 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. 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, 22, and Miranda, 11, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

At the outset of his 16th 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 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 year, 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). He was also among four winners chosen to be involved in a Street and Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal panel discussion on current Division I athletics issues. Joining NSU’s Burke were Purdue’s Morgan Burke (no relation), Samford’s Bob Roller and Lee Fowler of North Carolina State, with the transcript of their discussion distributed to national media by the Sports Business Daily. Burke just completed a term as the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. Burke’s 15 years as athletic director include 32 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 54 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Seventeen NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. Under his guidance, Northwestern State has led all 13 public institutions in Louisiana, and all 12 Southland Conference institutions, in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate and Graduation Success Rate reports. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. 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 generated a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues and spearheaded the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, including several whose success at Northwestern State has propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Some of his best hires remain on staff at NSU. Two, basketball’s Mike McConathy and soccer’s Jimmy Mitchell, guided Northwestern in NCAA Tournament play in their second seasons and have been back to postseason since. NSU’s 2006 basketball team scored one of the most memorable upsets in the history of March Madness, coming from 17 down to stun No. 15-ranked Iowa 64-63. Burke has selected head coaches who have subsequently been hired by Alabama, Florida, Missouri, New Mexico, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi State and Wichita State. 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. The NSU soccer program was the first one in Louisiana ever to reach the NCAA Tournament and remains the only one with multiple appearances. Volleyball set attendance records and has made its best-ever showings in conference play in recent years. In softball, NSU posted the nation’s most improved win total in 2010 regular-season play under second-year coach Donald Pickett, and moved among league contenders in 2011. The Lady Demons joined Stanford as the only women’s tennis programs in the country in 2010 with only one regular-season loss, while sweeping Southland regular-season and tournament titles and making a first-ever NCAA Team Tournament appearance. While on-field success by Demon and Lady Demon teams has been a source of pride for NSU supporters, Burke is equally proud of the tone which has been set within the NSU athletic program as it relates to 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 remained at that level in 2010-11. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for studentathletes: “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. In June 2006, he was a featured speaker and panelist at the National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors convention in New Orleans, addressing members of the College Athletic Business Managers of America and also participating in a panel discussion of “Fundraising from an Athletic Director’s Perspective” speaking to the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Since 2007, Burke has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet, a 49-person panel which makes recommendations to the NCAA Board of Directors on key issues facing Division I athletics. 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. Since his committee term expired, 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. In 2004, NSU received the highest possible rating, “fully certified,” from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, affirming that Northwestern operates its athletic program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership. 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. He and his wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 17-year-old daughter, Catherine, is captain of the St. Mary’s High School cheerleading Greg Burke with wife Susu and daughter Catherine squad, in addition to being a point guard on the basketball team and a member of the tennis team.

Jody biscoe

Faculty Athletic Represenative

Faculty Athletic Representative, Jody Biscoe, is associate professor of Psychology and Addiction Studies at Northwestern State, teaching in the undergraduate and graduate programs. Since 2006, he has served as Faculty Athletic Representative for NSU. This role includes the chair of the NSU Athletic Council. When it comes to NSU Athletics, I believe Michael Jordon said it best, “Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships.” For the last several years, the athletic program has been consistent in wanting to create an environment for its student-athletes that afford them the opportunity to be winners on the field of competition and in the classroom. This is accomplished in four fundamental ways: 1) The athletic administration remains focused on the mission of providing student-athletes a competitive environment both academically and on the field; 2) Coaches who are committed and desire a positive team experience for their student-athletes; 3) Faculty who are committed to creating a learning environment that is conducive to all students’ academic successes; and 4) The Demon community that supports college athletics is one of the most supportive and unified environments both in academics and athletics. When meeting with recruits and their parents who visit campus to decide if NSU is the place to achieve their academic and athletic goals, I provide them a few keys to success. Make sure your priorities are right, have good character, focus on academics, be competitive athletically, and fun. If you keep them in that order, you will be fine here at NSU. Recently, a parent asked me how we all do what we do given today’s economy and still provide a winning environment. We accomplish things, taking a phrase from the legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, ‘We have to be flexible but we don’t lose our focus.’ Our Athletic Department focus has been “Great Traditions - Brighter Futures.” Jody’s married to his wife, Veronica (Roni), an avid runner, and daughter Roxy is a senior co-captain on the varsity cheerleading squad and Lady Tiger basketball team at St. Mary’s School. All are devoted Demon fans!
