WELCOME FROM HEAD COACH MISTI CUSSEN
Greetings from ORU Women’s Basketball! I would like to thank you for your interest and support for our program. It is a great time to be a Golden Eagle here at Oral Roberts University…our university, campus, and student body have experienced a resurgence of growth and vitality over the past couple of years, and we are seeing our own basketball program grow and expand like never before as well!
WELCOME LETTER FROM COACH CUSSEN
The journey for this year’s team will be lead by one of the strongest senior classes we have ever enjoyed here at ORU, made up of Jaci Bigham, Savanna Buck, and Kevi Luper. These three outstanding women have taken our program to new heights with three consecutive postseason appearances, two regular season conference championships and numerous individual honors. We are looking forward to sending them out with another year of marked success. As we move into a brand new conference this season, we will experience a lot of “firsts” - traveling to new cities, facing new opponents, and developing new rivalries. The women’s basketball programs of the Southland Conference are building a reputation of success, with five of our ten members experiencing postseason play last season. We are proud to join their ranks and help propel women’s basketball forward in our conference, both regionally and nationally. On behalf of our coaches and players, thank you for your support of ORU Women’s Basketball! We are proud to share our team with you. We are committed to the continued success of this program, and we know who we are – TRUE BLUE! In Christ,
Misti Cussen

tenure. Seven Golden Eagles have earned conference player of the year honors under Cussen, including three-time winners Ragan and Luper, and 25 of Cussen’s student-athletes have earned all-conference designations. In addition, Cussen has coached 49 conference players of the week, 12 conference all-newcomer team selections, five conference newcomers of the year, two conference defensive players of the year and one Naismith Trophy Watch List nominee.
Cussen has been on the ORU bench for the last 16 seasons as the top assistant coach, ranking as one of the nation’s longest-tenured assistant coaches at one school. She also served as the director of operations and the summer camp director. During Cussen’s tenure as an assistant coach, ORU experienced an unprecedented run of success on the court. The Golden Eagles won five Summit League Tournament titles and a pair of Summit League regular season titles during Cussen’s time as an assistant, and they made the program’s first five trips to the NCAA Tournament. Cussen also led ORU to three WNIT appearances as an assistant, including a pair of WNIT wins in 2011 over TCU and Tulane that were the program’s first postseason tournament victories in 28 years. ORU achieved 273 victories during Cussen’s time as an assistant coach, including five 20-win seasons. In 2011-12, the Golden Eagles posted their third consecutive 20-win season, a first for the program in nearly 30 years. Cussen has recruited and coached some of the finest players in ORU history during her time in Tulsa. All-American Kisa Bradley was part of Cussen’s first ORU team, in 1996, while Oklahoma natives Krista Binam and Kevi Luper have also earned All-American status during Cussen’s

HEAD COACH MISTI CUSSEN
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
A Q&A WITH THE NEW HEAD COACH OF THE ORU WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PROGRAM Q: After so many seasons as an assistant at ORU, what does it mean to you to now be the Head Coach of the women’s basketball team? A: Surprisingly enough, the initial transition was very simple and straightforward… I laughingly told everyone in the first few months that nothing had changed except my office was a little bigger! When you spend as many seasons in one place as I have here at ORU, you emotionally take ownership and responsibility for the program – the good and the bad. I have seen this program rebuilt from Ground Zero during my tenure, and it has been a labor of love and purpose. To take over the top leadership position for this program is a tremendous blessing that I accept humbly. I understand the sacrifices that were made by previous players and coaches to give us the opportunities we have today. Q: Now that you are in charge, what differences will people see in the ORU women’s basketball program? A: There will be some similarities to who we have been for several years offensively. I love transition offense and scoring points, and we have been very successful leading the nation in various offensive categories. I think the differences will show more on the defensive end of the floor. I love some of the zone defenses that we have taught in previous seasons, but I expect that they will be more complimentary to a disciplined man-to-man system. Q: What is your philosophy on out-of-conference scheduling? What type of opponents will fans see in the Mabee Center in the early months of the year, and what kind of road trips will the team take in future seasons? A: Every season is different. For instance, this season we have very few home games due to previous contractual agreements. Traditionally, we like playing BCS schools and regional midmajors in our pre-conference games – it is a great way to prepare the team for conference play. Warm weather trips are always nice “special events” every third or fourth season too! Q: How will the move to the Southland Conference affect the ORU women’s basketball program? A: Our biggest recruiting base has always been in this part of the country, so we are excited that recruits can now play in front of their friends and families more than ever. Travel should become somewhat simpler for us as well. We are proud to join the Southland – their women’s basketball is one of their strongest sports, and it is continuing to climb.
Q: Your first senior class has several very accomplished players and has won a lot of games, but they have yet to make the NCAA Tournament. Is there a sense of urgency with this group? A: The word I have used with them is “satisfying”. These seniors have set many records and won many games. But I want them to be satisfied. They aren’t yet, and neither am I. These seniors have always had a sense of urgency – they are highly competitive – but they have had some obstacles and injuries to overcome as well. If we can stay healthy this season, I believe they will write the ending to their careers that they have always expected. Q: Last year’s team struggled to play good basketball on a consistent basis. What will it take for you guys to play your best game every night? A: Details. The discipline to perfect the details possession by possession at both ends of the court. They have to know and show who they are night in and night out – they have to be known for their details. Q: How important is it for a secondary scorer to emerge alongside Kevi Luper, and who are some candidates to assume that role? A: We have a couple of great candidates – in fact, I believe we will run certain lineups this year that opposing defenses will scratch their heads a bit trying to decide who they can help off of to assist the defender assigned to Kevi. Jaci, Savanna, Detti, Krisztina, Christian, Taylor…..It will be fun to see it develop! Q: Finally, talk about your new assistant coaches and how they will impact the program. A: First off, I’m thrilled to have retained Bojan Jankovic. We have become very close during his previous two seasons here at ORU, and he gives us a European recruiting edge that is vital to our program’s continued growth. Royce Samuels has made an immediate impact on our regional recruiting since arriving here in May. Royce and I go all the way back to El Reno High School together, and he is a tremendous relationship builder. He has this contagious humor and laugh that endears him to everyone he meets. Krista Binam and I started together here at ORU – me as an assistant coach and her as a freshman in college. She has always had a high basketball “IQ” and a knack for understanding the game. She will make huge investments into our perimeter players and our team defense. And Kyron Stokes has been a fantastic addition as our Director of Operations. He had a great playing career here at ORU, and he has a love for this University. His on-campus experience will be invaluable.

DR. MARK RUTLAND PRESIDENT OF ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY
Dr. Mark Rutland is the third president of Oral Roberts University. He is a distinguished educator, charismatic leader, business man and a nationally recognized figure in Christian higher education. The active pursuit of intellectual and spiritual awakening is central to Dr. Rutland’s worldview, making his vision a perfect complement to the ORU philosophy of whole-person education. Originally from Texas, Dr. Rutland completed a bachelor of science at the University of Maryland in 1970. Then, answering God’s call to the ministry, he earned a master of divinity degree from Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Georgia in 1972. Rutland soon became a United Methodist pastor. He went on to earn a Ph.D. in church growth from the California Graduate School of Theology in 1988. Dr. Rutland founded Global Servants, which has a church-planting ministry in West Africa and a large girls’ home in Thailand, and in 1998 he launched out into a second turnaround adventure: the presidency of Southeastern College in Lakeland, Florida.
During his decade of leadership that college became a university, tripled enrollment from less than 1,000 to more than 3,000 students, and saw the Lakeland campus expanded with $50 million in new construction. While there Rutland also established the Jerusalem Studies Center in Israel. Along with his academic and ministry pursuits, Dr. Rutland has authored 13 books and hosted a 30-minute daily radio program called The Herald of Joy. He and his wife, Alison, have partnered in marriage and ministry for 42 years. They have three married children and five grandchildren.
MIKE CARTER ATHLETIC DIRECTOR • 19TH YEAR
To say Mike Carter had his work cut out for him when he accepted the director of athletics position at Oral Roberts University on Nov. 7, 1994, is quite an understatement. It was hard enough for Carter to leave a successful business and sports law practice to embark on a career change. But combined that with the fact ORU was just beginning its second year back to active NCAA Division I status with only three full-time support personnel and no conference affiliation, and his endeavour was even more challenging. However, nearly 18 years later, it’s clear that Carter’s vision and guidance -- along with a strong commitment to athletics by the University -- has led the department to unprecedented success. Under Carter’s leadership, the department is now properly staffed with support personnel. During his tenure he has developed positions in athletic development, business administration, compliance, academic services, sports medicine, strength training, marketing and media relations. All of these support services have proven to be necessary for ORU to compete successfully in today’s world of Division I athletics.
26
ORUGoldenEagles.com
Across the board, each athletic program has thrived with Carter at the helm. That success can be traced directly to the fact that Carter has chosen outstanding coaches and administrators to lead the Golden Eagle athletic programs. Since 1996, the Golden Eagles have totalled 72 NCAA Tournament appearances and one NIT appearance, 61 AllAmerica selections, and two Olympians. ORU’s athletic success hasn’t just been limited to wins on the field though. The Golden Eagles have been extremely successful in the classroom as well, earning an overall GPA of 3.0 or better in 12 out of the last 13 years. Carter and his wife, Paula have two grown children and two grandchildren.

LUPER SETS SCORING RECORDS AS ORU TALLIES THIRD STRAIGHT 20-WIN SEASON
he 2011-12 season was another memorable campaign for the Oral Roberts University women’s basketball team, as accomplishments and milestones continued to mount for the powerful program. The Golden Eagles finished the campaign with a 20-11 record, including a 14-4 mark in Summit League play.
Luper’s remarkable season started in October, when she represented the United States at the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. The Adair native averaged 8.0 points per game at the event and became the first ORU women’s basketball player to compete for Team USA at an international tournament.
The 20-win season was the third in a row for the Golden Eagles, setting a new benchmark for sustained success. The ORU program had not achieved three straight 20-win seasons since the 1979-80 season, a span of 32 years. ORU also qualified for postseason play for the third straight season, earning a bid to the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. The bid gave ORU a third straight postseason berth for the first time in program history.
The ORU team was recognized for its excellence prior to the season, as the nation took notice of the defending Summit League champions. The Golden Eagles received votes in the preseason edition of the Associated Press Top 25 poll, and Athlon Sports ranked the Golden Eagles 24th in their season preview magazine. Athlon also named Luper a Preseason All-American.
Team success wasn’t the only highlight of ORU’s 2011-12 campaign. Individually, junior guard Kevi Luper continued to rewrite record books and establish herself as one of the finest players in all of women’s college basketball.

A pair of exhibition victories and a season-opening victory over Division II Drury set the stage for one of the most historic victories in ORU program history. The Golden Eagles traveled to Madison, Wis. on November 13 to face the University of Wisconsin.

HISTORY
SEASON REVIEW Led by Luper’s 34 points and a Kohl Center record 31 steals, ORU dominated the Badgers, 80-63. The victory was the first for the Golden Eagles over a Big Ten opponent since 1977. The Wisconsin win was part of a 5-0 start for ORU. The Golden Eagles also polished off three-time National Champion Louisiana Tech and defending Conference USA Champion Houston before falling for the first time on November 26 to Missouri State, 85-79. The Golden Eagles fell again three days later to Tulsa, but historic news arrived on November 30 as Luper was named to the 35-player Naismith Trophy early season watch list. Luper was the first player in ORU history to be considered for the prestigious award, which goes to the best player in women’s college basketball.
ORU came back from another double-digit hole but fell in their rematch with South Dakota on January 30, 60-57. The setback ended a streak of 21 consecutive Summit League home victories for the Golden Eagles, the third-best mark in conference history. Luper’s run at the record books commenced on February 4 in Fargo, N.D. The junior scored 41 points in an 84-75 victory over North Dakota State and broke former Golden Eagle Krista Binam’s Summit League scoring record of 2,105 points. Kevi Luper’s record-breaking day in Fargo provided one of the highlights
The Golden Eagles opened Summit League play in style on December 3 with a 109-59 trouncing of Southern Utah. Luper scored 31 in the victory and earned a record 13th Summit League Player of the Week award for her effort. The junior hit 31 points again on December 13 as ORU downed another defending conference champion, UALR from the Sun Belt, 78-63.
of 2011-12 On February 18, Luper’s record tour rolled in to Ft. Wayne, Ind., where ORU outlasted IPFW in overtime, 62-61. Luper became ORU’s all-time leading scorer with 16:56 left in the second half, hitting a jumper to pass Vivian Herron’s record of 2,192 points. Jones also hit a personal milestone on the day, topping the 1,000-point plateau.
A 50-point win over Southern Utah was the largest of the season for Jaci Bigham and the Golden Eagles
Consecutive losses to Grambling and Kansas ended the non-conference portion of the schedule, but Summit League play started back on December 29, and the Golden Eagles responded with a hard-fought 62-53 victory at new conference member South Dakota. Two days later, ORU fell to a hot-shooting UMKC club, but another milestone was hit as junior Jaci Bigham topped the 1,000-point mark for her career. ORU’s senior class stepped up on January 7 in a 71-65 victory over South Dakota State at the Mabee Center. Jordan Pyle led ORU with 17 points and Georgia Jones added 15 as ORU rallied from a double-digit deficit in the second half. The SDSU win kicked of a stretch where ORU won six out of seven games. Included in the streak was a 62-53 win over Oakland on January 21 where Luper topped 2,000 career points, and a 40-point pasting of IPFW two days later.
The Golden Eagles headed into the Summit League Championship as the No. 2 seed, but a deep run was not in the cards as Western Illinois scored an 84-71 upset in the tournament’s first round. Still, ORU qualified for their third straight WNIT, where they were beaten by Wichita State in the first round. Despite the earlier-than-expected end to the season, several Golden Eagles were honored with postseason awards. Luper was named Summit League Player of the Year for the third straight season after leading the conference with 23.8 points and 3.8 steals per game. The junior finished in the top-five nationally in both categories. Bernadett Balla was named to the Summit League AllBernadett Balla was ORU’s most Newcomer Team. improved player over the year and earned an All-Newcomer Team spot
The page officially turned on the 2011-12 season on April 27, as Misti Cussen was named the 10th Head Coach in ORU women’s basketball history. With Cussen now in charge and Luper returning for one final season, the Golden Eagles have their sights set on one goal: a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

(RV/--) ORAL ROBERTS 80 DRURY 53
(RV/--) ORAL ROBERTS 80 WISCONSIN 63
TULSA, Okla. - Kevi Luper scored 27 points and Oral Roberts University forced 28 turnovers as the Golden Eagles routed Drury University, 80-53, in their 2011-12 regular season opener Friday at the Mabee Center. ORU has now won 28 straight games against non-NCAA Division I competition.
MADISON, Wis. - Kevi Luper scored 34 points and the Oral Roberts defense collected a 23 steals, a Kohl Center record, leading to an 80-63 win on Sunday afternoon. The win is ORU’s first over a Big Ten opponent since 1977 and their first over a power conference school since 2004.
Luper was 12-for-22 from the floor and added five steals. Christian Key chipped in 12 points for the Golden Eagles, while Georgia Jones was on fire with ten points and nine assists.
Luper was 14-for-23 from the floor and 4-for-8 from three-point range, topping the 30-point mark for the 16th time in an ORU (2-0) uniform. Jordan Pyle was huge as well, with 16 points, and she set new career highs with seven steals and five assists. Georgia Jones also scored in doublefigures, with 15 points, thanks in large part to three three-pointers.
Luper scores 27 and Jones dishes nine assists as ORU wins 28th straight vs. non-DI competition
Drury (0-1) was led by Katie Pritchard, who hit four three-pointers and scored 15 points. Erica Groose added nine points, while reserve Kylie Williamson led the team with nine rebounds. ORU shot 44.3% from the floor, while Drury shot at a 35.2% clip. The Lady Panthers were undone by their miscues, as they committed 28 turnovers and hit just 9-of-17 free throws. The Golden Eagles raced out to a double-digit lead, scoring 17 of the game’s first 22 points. A pair of free throws by Key made the score 17-5 at the 14:10 mark, and it looked like ORU was off to a laugher. But Drury fought back and made the first half a very competitive affair. Pritchard hit a three-pointer as part of a 10-3 Panther run that pulled the score to 22-18 at the 9:20 mark.
Golden Eagles force Kohl Center record 23 steals, defeat first Big Ten opponent since 1977
Wisconsin (1-1) was led by Taylor Wurtz, who scored 15 points and added 15 rebounds. Ashley Thomas and Jade Davis scored 11 each, but the Badgers shot just 36.1% from the floor. ORU, on the other hand, shot 49.2% and hit eight three-pointers. ORU’s last win over a power conference school came on Dec. 4, 2004, when they topped Oklahoma State, 65-61. Their last win over a Big Ten school was a 70-67 win against Michigan State on Dec. 29, 1977.
ORU closed the half on a 10-1 run to take a 40-27 halftime lead. Luper had 19 of her 27 points in the opening period.
Oral Roberts would close the first half on an 11-2 run, taking a seven-point lead into the halftime locker room. The good run of play continued into the second half, where ORU scored six of the first eight points. A runner by Jones put the Golden Eagles up a dozen, 47-35, with 16:08 remaining in the game.
A three-pointer by Jones on ORU’s first possession of the half starched the gap to 16, and Drury never truly challenged ORU again. The Golden Eagles posted a 10-0 spurt midway through the half, capped by a Luper jumper, to push the lead over the 20-point mark for the first time, at 61-40, with 9:32 to play.
Soon, the Golden Eagles were crossing the 20-point plateau. A transition three-pointer by Christian Key did the honors, giving the Golden Eagles a 68-47 lead at the 9:20 mark.
Once the lead crossed the 20-point mark it never dropped lower.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Oral Roberts University shot just 23.9% from the floor and fell to the University of Arkansas, 65-37, Saturday night at Bud Walton Arena. ORU is now 6-3 on the season.
TULSA, Okla. - Oral Roberts University overcame a sluggish first half to claim victory over the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, 78-63, Tuesday night at the Mabee Center. The Golden Eagles shot 61.5% in the second half after firing at a 32.3% clip in the opening half.
ORU shoots 23.9%, scores fewer than 40 points for the first time since 2006
In addition to the cold shooting, turnovers plagued the Golden Eagles, who have now lost 11 games in a row to the Razorbacks (8-1). The Golden Eagles gave the ball away 24 times in the loss. Sarah Watkins led the Razorbacks with 15 points, while C’eira Ricketts added 12. Arkansas shot 36.8% in the win. Kevi Luper led the Golden Eagles with 11 points and moved into 5th all-time on ORU’s career scoring list in the lone highlight of the night for Jerry Finkbeiner’s team. Both teams got off to a sluggish start, but it was ORU who capitalized early. Luper scored six of the team’s first nine points, including a jumper at the 12:24 mark to give the road team a 9-4 lead. The basket gave Luper 1,784 career points, passing Sharon Tucker for 5th all-time on ORU’s career scoring list. Arkansas was eager to protect their home floor, however. Back-to-back buckets from Watkins kicked off an 8-0 run that ended with Arkansas on top, 21-14, with 3:14 left in the half. The home side ended the half on a 10-0 spurt. A three-pointer by Lyndsey Harris gave Arkansas a 31-16 lead heading into the locker room. Arkansas stretched the lead to 20 early in the half. A layup by Watkins made the score 38-18 with 15:47 to play. The run that ORU needed just never materialized. With a pair of free throws at the 10:12 mark, the Razorbacks were doublingOfficial theirBasketball guests up, 47-23.

ORU topples Summit League leaders with gameclosing 27-10 run
Luper notches 25 points as ORU improves to 4-1 in Summit League play
TULSA, Okla. - Trailing by double figures for much of the game, Oral Roberts University’s three seniors stepped up down the stretch and led the team to a 71-65 victory over South Dakota State.
TULSA, Okla. - Oral Roberts University dominated from the opening tip on Monday night, breezing to a 92-66 victory over North Dakota State University at the Mabee Center. The Golden Eagles are now 10-6 on the year, with a 4-1 mark in Summit League play.
Jordan Pyle led the Golden Eagles (9-6, 3-1 Summit League) with 17 points in the victory, while fellow senior Georgia Jones added 15 points. Both players were 6-for-9 from the floor. The third member of ORU’s senior class, Dominique Allen, added nine points and seven rebounds. South Dakota State (9-7, 4-1 Summit League) got 23 points from Jennie Sunnarborg and 16 from Jill Young. The Jackrabbits shot just 38.6% for the game, while ORU hit at a 52.9% mark. A prolonged offensive slump early in the first half cost ORU dearly. The team went without a point for 6:41, allowing SDSU to mount a 15-0 run. Young capped the outburst with a three-pointer, giving the Jacks a 17-4 lead at the 11:37 mark. ORU was able to get back in the game late in the half. The Golden Eagles closed the first period on a 14-3 run and trailed just 29-27 at the break. A Pyle basket on the first possession of the 2nd half tied the game at 29-29, but the Jacks came back with five straight of their own to take a 34-29 edge with 18:23 left to play. But ORU rallied again thanks to a pair of Pyle three-pointers. The second one, at the 14:46 mark, gave ORU a 40-39 lead. The advantage was the first for the home team since they led 4-2. South Dakota State regained control after seeing their lead slip away. A 10-0 Jacks run, including three-pointers by Tara Heiser and Steph Paluch, gave the visitors a 49-40 lead with 11:43 left on the clock. But the senior Jones would not let ORU go down without a fight. The England native scored nine points as part of a 12-0 Golden Eagle run. Her three-pointer with 5:33 left gave ORU a 56-55 lead. Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics Finally in command of theOfficial game, ORU led for the final 4:46 of play. A steal-and-score by Luper on South Dakota State vs Oral Roberts 01/07/12 2:05 pm at Tulsa, Okla. (Mabee Center) SDSU’s dying possession left no doubt, as ORU left with a six-point win.

Eleven different players scored for Jerry Finkbeiner’s team, including Amber Carver, who notched nine points. Savanna Buck and Bernadett Balla added eight each. Janae Burich led NDSU (6-12, 3-3 Summit League) with 11 points and eight rebounds. The Bison were hurt by 29 turnovers. ORU came out with guns blazing, and it didn’t take long to put some distance between them and their conference rivals. After a jumper from Jones at the 11:26 mark, the Eagles were doubling NDSU up, 22-11. It was Jones who scored another pivotal basket later in the half. The senior hit a runner with 3:54 left in the half to give ORU their first 20-point lead, at 40-20. The Golden Eagles maintained that margin heading into the halftime locker room. A basket by Carver put the home side up, 50-30, at the break. Even after some minor runs, NDSU found it difficult to chisel into ORU’s lead. A stock-back by Buck pushed the Eagle lead to 66-43 at the 12:57 mark. A beautiful pick-and-roll led sent ORU over the 30-point plateau. The basket by Dominique Allen, off a Jaci Bigham feed, made the score 75-45 with 10:32 remaining in the game. Several freshmen made key contributions as ORU salted the victory away. Chief among them were Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics Ieva Eida, who drained a Official three-pointer, and Elisabeth Daniels, who scored two points and pulled North Dakota State vs Oral Roberts down a late rebound.01/09/12 7:05 pm at Tulsa, Okla.

IUPUI 72 ORAL ROBERTS 48
ORAL ROBERTS WESTERN ILLINOIS
Golden Eagles shoot 31.1%, suffer biggest loss ever to IUPUI INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Oral Roberts University never got rolling on Saturday afternoon, falling to IUPUI, 72-48, at The Jungle. The loss snaps a two-game winning streak for ORU. ORU (10-7, 4-2 Summit League) shot just 31.1% in the game. Georgia Jones led the Golden Eagles with 16 points, while Jordan Pyle added 11 points and 10 rebounds in a double-double effort. The win is the first for IUPUI (7-11, 2-4 Summit League) over an NCAA Division I opponent since Nov. 30. The victory also snaps ORU’s four-game winning streak over the Jaguars. Katie Comello led the Jaguars with 28 points. The sophomore was 6-for-11 from three-point range. Kerah Nelson was also a force, finishing with 18 points. The game did not start well for Jerry Finkbeiner’s team. The Golden Eagles missed their first six shots and fell into a quick hole. A fastbreak lay-up by Del’Niqua Bellamy gave IUPUI a 9-0 lead just four minutes into the game. IUPUI ended the half on a 10-0 run to take a commanding lead into the locker room. Comello drilled a three the halftime buzzer, giving her team a 31-16 lead. Soon the lead was over 20 for Austin Parkinson’s team. A three-pointer by Comello gave IUPUI a 50-30 advantage, and things were looking dire for the Eagles. They never got much better. Comello got on a roll in the second half, raining down three-pointers. A long-range shot with 7:27 left made the score 61-39. The rally ORU needed never came. Jones tried to keep ORU in the game, hitting four second half three-pointers, but the lead was never in single digits for the final 21:45 of the game. The 24-point margin of defeat is the largest ever for ORU against IUPUI. The Golden Eagles are now Official Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics 16-12 all-time against the Jaguars.

Oakland jumped out to a quick lead by forcing turnovers and hitting eight of their first 14 shots. A three-point play by Malika Glover gave the Golden Grizzles an 18-11 lead with 11:37 left in the half.
Both teams came out sluggish, with points difficult to come by. A three-pointer by Boese drew the Mastodons even with their hosts, at 12-12, with 13:24 left in the half.
The Grizzlies would carry the lead into the halftime locker room. A three-pointer by Watterworth gave the road side a 31-28 edge at the intermission.
But Pyle came alive, scoring seven points to spark a 9-0 ORU run. An and-one from the senior, at the 10:27 mark, put the Golden Eagles on top by a 21-12 count.
It was Key who kicked it into high gear and turned the game on ORU’s favor. The sophomore canned a three with 17:34 mark, giving the team a 35-34 lead. They would never trail again.
IPFW continued to fall victim to careless turnovers, and ORU capitalized. A 16-3 run, capped off with Balla free throws, saw ORU doubling up their opponents at the 3:34 mark, 37-18. That momentum carried into the half. ORU scored the final five points of the period and took a 46-22 lead into the break.
A 12-0 ORU run gave the home side a comfortable lead. Luper capped the spurt with a jumper that made the score 49-36 with 10:07 on the clock. The shot put the junior from Adair on the cusp of a personal milestone, and it didn’t take long for Luper to cash in. The two-time All-American came off of a screen to knock down a basket just a minute later, at the 9:12 mark, to go over the 2,000 point mark in her career.

ORAL ROBERTS 83 UMKC 70
SOUTH DAKOTA ORAL ROBERTS
Ragan’s jersey is retired as ORU avenges earlier loss to UMKC TULSA, Okla. - After a sluggish first half, the floodgates opened up for Oral Roberts University after halftime and the Golden Eagles thumped UMKC, 83-70, on Saturday afternoon at the Mabee Center. Kevi Luper led ORU (14-7, 8-2 Summit League) with 31 points. Luper’s 31 points give her 2,058 for her collegiate career, which surpasses former Golden Eagles legend Elisha Turek for third on both the ORU and Summit League career scoring lists. The supporting cast came out in full force for the Golden Eagles. Jordan Pyle added 14 points, while Georgia Jones and Jaci Bigham chipped in 11 each to go with Bigham’s six rebounds. UMKC (14-8, 5-5 Summit League) topped ORU on Dec. 31, 92-79, behind 43 points from Dayon Hall-Jones and a team shooting percentage of 56.5%. But the ‘Roos could not approach those totals on Saturday. Hall-Jones finished with 14 points and the ‘Roos shot just 36.8%.

ORU rallies from 14-point deficit but scores just three points over final 7:43 TULSA, Okla. - Down by 14 points in the second half, Oral Roberts University made a furious rally to tie the University of South Dakota with 7:43 remaining. But the Golden Eagles would not score again until the final seconds of the game, and they fell to the Coyotes, 60-57, on Monday night at the Mabee Center. The loss snaps ORU’s 21-game Summit League home winning streak and puts them two games behind South Dakota State in the race for the Summit League regular season crown. The Jacks were victorious over Oakland, 61-51, on Monday night. Amber Hegge led USD (14-6, 6-5 Summit League) with 24 points, while Annie Roche added 12. The ‘Yotes shot 45.7% from the floor. Kevi Luper led the Golden Eagles (14-8, 8-3 Summit League) with 21 points, while Jordan Pyle notched a double-double, scoring 16 and ripping down 11 boards.
An aggressive ORU defense forced UMKC into a barrage of early mistakes, turning the ‘Roos into a shell of the team that played so well on New Year’s Eve. Luper took advantage, scoring her 10th point at the 9:40 mark to give the home team a 19-6 lead.
The USD post could not be stopped in the opening half. Hegge scored 19 points before the break and her team took a 39-29 lead into the break.
The teams stayed close throughout the early stages of the 2nd half, with Luper providing a highlight at the 15:01 mark. The junior drilled a jumper to reach 2,048 career points, passing Turek for 3rd place on both the ORU and Summit League career scoring lists.
ORU fell behind by as many as 14 in the 2nd half, but Luper took the game over soon after. The Adair native scored seven straight points, including a contested jumper in traffic, to cut USD’s lead to 51-45 with 13:09 left.
Luper left the game with her fourth personal foul at the 11:36 mark, but a renewed post attack was able to keep ORU afloat. Back-to-back baskets from Pyle and Amber Carver reestablished ORU’s double-digit lead, at 56-45.
Luper’s surge keyed a team-wide comeback that peaked at the 7:43 mark, when Pyle scored a three-point play to tie the score at 54-54. The play capped a 16-3 ORU run. Unfortunately, that moment would be the high watermark for Jerry Finkbeiner’s team on Monday night. Following Pyle’s three-point play, ORU missed their next 11 shots and didn’t score again until Georgia Jones hit a three in the game’s waning seconds that cut USD’s lead to 58-57.
Luper took over from there, scoring eight points in the game’s final 3:25. ORU honored all-time Summit League scoring leader Krista Ragan during halftime of the victory Official Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics by retiring her No. 11 jersey.

Luper sets Summit League career scoring record in season-best 41-point performance
Jackrabbits shoot 49.0%, dent ORU’s regular season Summit League title hopes
FARGO, N.D. - Oral Roberts University junior guard Kevi Luper set the Summit League career scoring record on Saturday night as the Golden Eagles topped North Dakota State, 84-75.
BROOKINGS, S.D. - Oral Roberts University shot just 32.2% from the field and fell to South Dakota State, 70-51, Monday night at Frost Arena. The loss drops ORU to 9-4 in the Summit League, three games behind the Jacks with five games left to play.
Luper scored 41 points in the game, the second-highest total of her collegiate career. The twotime All-American ended the game with 2,120 career points, 15 better than former ORU standout Krista Ragan’s previous Summit League record of 2,105. The Adair product was 16-for-28 from the floor, 3-for-5 from three-point range and 6-for-6 from the free throw line. She came into the game needing 27 points to break Ragan’s record, which fell at the 12:15 mark of the second half. With the win, ORU improves to 15-8, 9-3 in the Summit League. ORU has won five straight over the Bison. The Bison could not miss in the first five minutes, knocking down four of their first five three-point attempts. A long bomb by Linz at the 15:12 mark gave them a 15-11 advantage. But the pendulum swung in ORU’s favor midway through the half, as the Golden Eagles mounted an 8-2 run to claim the lead. Luper kicked off the spurt with back-to-back baskets, and Oral Roberts led, 27-21, with 7:30 left in the half. Luper went on a one-man crusade early in the second half, scoring seven straight points to pad ORU’s lead to 53-41 with 14:58 left. Soon, the Summit’s scoring record was in sight. Luper broke the record with 12:15 remaining in the game on a pull-up jumper from the left baseline. The basket gave the Adair product 2,107 career points and put ORU ahead, 59-45. NDSU tried to rally, cutting the deficit to seven points, at 75-68, with 2:17 to play. But the home team would get no Box closer.

Bigham tried to keep ORU in the game, scoring six straight points midway through the half to whittle the deficit to 43-39. But momentum swung back in SDSU’s favor on a fluke play. Gabrielle Boever, attempting to feed the post, threw a lob past well over the fingertips of her intended target. But the pass was so off target that it went in the goal, giving the Jacks a 46-39 edge. That stroke of incredible luck took the wind out of ORU’s sails and started a 10-0 SDSU run. A Leah Dietel layup gave the home side a 53-39 lead with 10:22 left. The Golden Eagles would never again threaten SDSU. Two Sunnarborg free throws at the 6:05 mark pushed the lead over 20, at 64-44, and the rout was on.

Luper sets ORU career scoring and steals records, hits winning freee throws with 11.4 seconds left
ORU sprints out to 19-4 lead, holds Oakland to 28.8% shooting in road victory
FT. WAYNE, Ind. - Junior Kevi Luper became Oral Roberts University’s career scoring leader and hit the winning free throws with 11.4 second left as the Golden Eagles won an overtime thriller over IPFW, 62-61, Saturday at the Gates Sports Center.
ROCHESTER, Mich. - The road to the Summit League Tournament started on Monday night for Oral Roberts University as they blasted Oakland University, 77-51, inside of the O’rena. Kevi Luper led all players with 27 points and a season-high eight rebounds.
Luper became ORU’s all-time leading scorer with 16:56 left in the second half. The Adair native hit a pull-up jumper from the left baseline to pass Vivian Herron’s record of 2,192 points. Luper also passed Kim Ogden for the ORU career steals lead, coming away with four thefts. She now has 374 steals for her career. The two-time Summit League Player of the Year finished with 22 points.
ORU (19-9, 13-4 Summit League) also got huge performances from Bernadett Balla and Georgia Jones. The freshman scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds, while the senior hit four three-pointers and scored 14.
Following Luper’s winning free throws, IPFW had a chance to win the game, but Rachel Mauk missed a three-pointer with five seconds left. ORU’s Savanna Buck tapped the rebound toward the mid-court stripe, and Jaci Bigham collected possession to seal the victory. Senior Georgia Jones also had a milestone day. The England native scored nine points and became the 19th player in ORU history to top 1,000 career points. ORU led by as many as five points in the first half, taking a 25-20 edge on a Balla basket at the 4:26 mark. But IPFW ended the half on a 7-2 run to tie the game at 27-27. IPFW’s Sarah Haluska was whistled for a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct during the halftime period, allowing Luper to hit a free throw at the start of the second half. The extra point would prove costly for the home team. IPFW mounted a 9-0 run, capped by two Haluska free throws, to take a 52-43 lead with 5:35 left. But the Golden Eagles would rally. Luper tied the game at 54-54 on a three-pointer with 1:10 left. The junior appeared to get fouled on a drive to the basket with 14 seconds left in regulation, but the officials ruled the play a charge, giving IPFW a chance to win. The home team didn’t get a shot off, sending the game to overtime. Haluska drained a corner three-pointer with 22 second left, giving the Mastodons a 61-60 led and setting the stage for Luper’s heroics. The junior drove to the basket on the same set play that led Official Basketball Box Score -- Game Totals -- Final Statistics to a charge at the end of regulation. This time, IPFW’svsStefanie Oral Roberts IPFW Mauk was whistled for a block, and 1:00 p.m. at Fort Wayne, Ind; Gates Sports Center Luper hit two free throws to02/18/12 win the game.

ORU overcomes 11-point deficit, Luper absence to clinch third straight 20-win season CEDAR CITY, Utah - Playing without two-time Summit League Player of the Year Kevi Luper, Oral Roberts University scratched out a 54-47 victory over Southern Utah University on Saturday night at Centrum Arena. With the win, ORU closes the regular season with a 20-9 overall record and a 14-4 mark in the Summit League. The victory clinches ORU’s third straight 20-win season. The Golden Eagles are also assured of the second seed in the upcoming Summit League Tournament. Georgia Jones led ORU with 14 points. Bernadett Balla and Jaci Bigham added 11 points each, while Jordan Pyle nearly racked up a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. SUU rallied to move in front in the later stages of the half. Tayler Anderson capped an 11-0 run with a spinning basket at the 2:35 mark to give the home side a 28-20 advantage. A basket by Moreland at the halftime whistle gave the T-Birds a 33-22 lead at the break.

ORU digs 38-16 halftime hole, falls to 7th-seeded Leathernecks in Summit League quarterfinals SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Second-seeded Oral Roberts University fell behind by 22 points at the half and paid the price on Saturday afternoon in an 83-71 loss to seventh-seeded Western Illinois University in the quarterfinals of the 2012 Summit League Championship. Kevi Luper led the Golden Eagles with 27 points. Seniors Jordan Pyle and Georgia Jones added 13 and 11 points, respectively. Valencia Kelly scored 24 points to lead the Leathernecks, while Saule Kontautaite knocked down six three-pointers and scored 22. ORU fell into an early hole, missing seven of their first eight shots. Western Illinois took advantage, taking a 13-2 lead on a Sadie Webb three-pointer at the 15:18 mark. The Leathernecks showed no signs of slowing down in the opening half. A Webb three-point play with 7:32 on the clock stretched the lead to 25-12.
Pyle scored a basket on ORU’s opening possession of the second half as ORU tried to kick start a rally, and the Golden Eagles opened the period on a 12-2 run. A Jones three at the 9:30 mark cut the ORU gap to 35-34.
The first half just never got better. Kontautaite nailed a corner three at the first half buzzer to push the lead to its highest point, 38-16, at the break.
SUU did not hit a second half field goal until the 9:01 mark of the second half, but it came at a big time. Andrea Jones scored an old-fashioned three-point play that made the score 38-34 and slowed ORU’s momentum momentarily.
The Golden Eagles tried to kick start a rally out of the halftime locker room, but Kontautaite put it on hold. The sharpshooter hit three-pointers on three straight possessions to make the score 47-27 at the 17:26 mark.
ORU scored the next four points however. Bigham stole the ball away from SUU under her own basket and laid it in at the 8:07 mark to tie the game at 38, and the Golden Eagles could sense a victory.
Though ORU continued to push, Western Illinois maintained their double-digit lead midway through the second half. And the Golden Eagles were dealt a blow at the 7:16 mark, when Jaci Bigham fouled out of the game. The resulting free throws put the Leathernecks ahead, 62-45.
That instinct was the right one. A free throw by Pyle gave ORU their first lead of the second half at 41-40, and Jones drained a massive jumper at the 3:12 mark to give Jerry Finkbeiner’s club a 45-40 advantage.
Momentum finally swung ORU’s way with an 8-0 run. Luper drained a transition three-ball at the 5:47 mark to finally whittle the gap to single digits, at 62-53. Later the three-time Summit League Player of the Year hit two free throws to close the deficit to seven points.
SUU was never able to regain the lead. Free throws down the stretch by Balla, Bigham and Christian Key iced the game forBasketball ORU. The Golden Eagles Southern Utah in the second Official Box Score -- Game Totals outscored -- Final Statistics Oral Roberts vs Southern Utah half, 32-14. Bigham was a defensive ace in Luper’s absence, netting a season-high six steals. 2/25/12 5 p.m. at Cedar City, Utah (Centrum Arena)
But ORU never got closer, and WIU virtually ended the Eagle hopes at the 2:33 mark. A Jackie Rieger three-point play kicked the lead back up to 15, at 72-57.

<<< Krista Ragan and ORU pushed Oklahoma to the brink of defeat on March 17, 2001 before falling, 7064, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. ORU led the Sooners with less than five minutes to play, but the game turned in Oklahoma’s favor when Ragan fouled out with 4:02 left. A crowd of 10,923 was in attendance at the Lloyd Noble Center, setting a record for the most people to watch a women’s basketball game in the state of Oklahoma.

ORU leads in the final six minutes, pushing secondseeded Sooners to the brink.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Krista Ragan scored a game-high 21 points as Oral Roberts fell to topseeded Purdue in their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance, 68-48, on March 13, 1999.
NORMAN, Okla. - Oral Roberts University could not hold on to a late lead, falling to the University of Oklahoma, 70-64, on March 17, 2001.
Ragan was 8-for-19 from the floor and 5-for-11 from three-point range. She was the only Golden Eagle to score in double figures.
The announced crowd of 10,923 at the Lloyd Noble Center was the largest crowd ever to watch a women’s basketball game in the state of Oklahoma.
Purdue closed the first half on a 12-2 run, taking a 36-17 lead at the intermission after ORU had stayed close to the top seed for much of the opening period.
ORU took a 54-51 lead on a Cori Williston three-point field goal with 6:48 remaining, and they held a 57-55 advantage on a Krista Ragan three-point play minutes later.
ORU launched a 14-2 run early in the second half, cutting the deficit to 42-31 on two free throws by Rauna Barrett at the 16:42 mark. But the top seed had the lead back over 20 points in less than two minutes, and the game was never again in question.
But the game turned at the 4:02 mark, when Ragan was hit with her fifth personal foul and ORU was assessed a subsequent technical foul. The resulting free throws gave the Sooners a 62-57 lead, and OU was able to hold on.
Purdue went on the capture the national title, beating Louisiana Tech and Duke in the Final Four.
Williston scored 17 of her career-high 19 points in theT second half, while Ragan added 14.

Turek’s 21-point effort leads all scorers in loss to third-seeded Longhorns
63 42
Turek’s career ends in NCAA rematch with powerful Boilermakers
DALLAS, Texas - Oral Roberts played No. 3 seed Texas to within a point in the second half, but a 16-point halftime deficit was too much to overcome in a 64-47 loss on March 19, 2005.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Elisha Turek’s final game as a Golden Eagle came on March 17, 2007, a 63-42 loss to Purdue in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Elisha Turek led all players with 21 points in the game, while Nina Norman scored 20 to lead Texas.
Purdue established command immediately, holding Turek to four points on 2-for-5 shooting in the first 20 minutes. After halftime, the Boilermakers built their biggest lead, 58-32, on a driving layup by Jodi Howell with 12:42 left.
Texas took control of the game by opening on an 8-1 run, and they ended the first half on a 13-4 run to build a 34-18 advantage.
Turek finished the game with 16 points, while Jenny Hardin added ten. ORU shot 52.2% in the second half to stay within striking distance of the Longhorns. A threepointer by Turek with 13:48 to play cut the gap to 41-30, the closest ORU got in the second period of play. Turek and Katie Langford each had seven rebounds to pace the Golden Eagles.

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 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. In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference membership also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses approximately 120,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 700,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), major League Baseball stars Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Mike Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), Grammy Award-winning musicians Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), NFL standout Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), PGA Tour

golfer Chris Stroud (Lamar), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State, American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar, Stephen F. Austin), 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. 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. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already broadcast more than 130 events. The network is expanding its reach to roughly 11 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in 2012-13. In its first four years, the regional network has received recognition for its work, earning College Sports Media and Telly Awards on a regular basis. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium. 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 2011, Sam Houston State finished the regular season undefeated and ranked No. 1 nationally, and advanced to the NCAA national championship game. Also, 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 conference has been represented in seven national championship games since the league joined the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 99 Division I playoff games in 30 years, winning 47 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 national championship. McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned five trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas made its playoff debut in 2011. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs. The Southland has produced 163 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level. The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (205) in the National Football League draft. The league also ranks third in the FCS with 25 players taken in the draft since 2000 and has 13 former players on NFL rosters heading into the 2012 season. The Southland Conference has also sent such talent to the professional ranks as Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Felton Huggins (Southeastern Louisiana), Minnesota’s Rhett Bomar (Sam Houston State), Jacksonville’s Bryan Smith (McNeese State) and Larry Hart (Central Arkansas), Tennessee’s Jacob Ford (Central Arkansas), Baltimore’s Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Seattle’s Dominique Edison (Stephen F. Austin) and Green Bay’s Antonio Robinson (Nicholls State), who became the Southland’s 24th player to win a Super Bowl when the Packers beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV in Arlington in 2011. Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw. The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman. In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports. Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 45-plus years. The league has sent two teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The

league also saw three of its current teams, including newcomer Oral Roberts, reach the postseason in 2011. Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led teams in the Southland. In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins. In each of the last three seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2011, half of the current members, five (including newcomer Oral Roberts), earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 12 times, including each of the last six years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper. Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland. In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 Conference has had more players win that award. The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft. Seventeen players were selected in 2012, a year after the league saw 25 players taken in 2011, which matched 1995 for the most in its history. The league, which has had 456 draft picks all time, has had two players, Ben Sheets (Louisiana-Monroe) and Michael Choice (UT Arlington) taken seventh in the draft, marking the league’s highestever draft picks. In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. After 26 years as a college head coach, including his last five years at Sam Houston State, Mark Johnson retired following the 2011 season with 1,043 career wins. He is among an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells. Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationallyranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin at No. 3 Texas. In 20 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 15 wins. The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member UT Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey

The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships. Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and UT Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past four seasons the Southland has sent 10 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010 and one each in 2011 and 2012. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black. In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007. In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament four times in the last six years. The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes

Also, studentathletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 979 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2012 spring semester. While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last six years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.
