Williams didn’t stop there as she guided the Cowgirls to their first Southland Conference Tournament title and first NCAA Tournament appearance that year. For her accomplishments on the court, Williams was named the league’s and Louisiana’s “Coach of the Year”. Last season, Williams led the Cowgirls to their second consecutive SLC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament. The Cowgirls came close to picking up their first NCAA Tournament win against Kentucky, falling 68-62 to the SEC regular season champions. The Cowgirls posted a 26-8 overall record and a 13-3 conference record and a 12-2 home record. Four of the eight losses were to teams ranked in the preseason Top 25 poll including Baylor, the 2012 National Champs and UCLA, LSU and Texas A&M. The Cowgirls also played in the preseason WNIT (at UCLA) and hosted a WNIT consolation round tournament. Williams led the Cowgirls to a 26-7 overall record, 151 Southland Conference record and an undefeated home record (15-0) during the 2010-11 season.

Tommy McCleland Athletic Director
Tommy McClelland was named athletics director at McNeese State on March 19, 2008. Prior to being named Athletics Director, McClelland served at Interim Athletics Director and Assistant Athletics Director of Internal Affairs. In his short time at McNeese, McClelland has been quick out of the gate. He started the “Partner with the Pokes” program that provides a smaller, more attractive sponsorship package for local small businesses. On top of the “Partner with the Pokes” program, McClelland has raised over $2.8 million in private donations since April of 2007 and was instrumental in increasing corporate sponsorships over $750,000, while securing new clients and multi-year sponsorships. He also planned and helped implement a multi-city summer tour, the “Cowboy Round-Up Tour”. The Cowboy Round-Up Tour is a two week period in June where coaches, administrators and other department staff travel to various cities in Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas. Fans have the opportunity to meet the coaches and administrators to talk about Cowboy and Cowgirl Athletics. McClelland was also responsible for increasing football season ticket sales in 2008 for the then highest total in school history to 8,008 and then topped that at 8,035 in 2009. In addition, he was instrumental in setting single game attendance records in volleyball, softball, soccer and women’s basketball. McClelland is not just limited to selling tickets. He devised a plan to resurrect the “M” Club for former student-athletes. He negotiated a new syndicated radio network for football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball. Included in that deal was the first ever radio station that was solely dedicated to broadcasting women’s basketball. McClelland also re-negotiated football’s TV replay contract from a one station deal to broadcasting games on three different stations and the internet. One of the main goals for McClelland was to improve the life of the student-athletes and increase the fans experience. The most effective way to accomplish both goals in to improve athletic facilities. In his short time as Athletics Director, McClelland has overseen the completion of: •- New bleachers in Memorial Gym •- Chair backed center section of Cowgirl Diamond •- Canopy over the stairwell in the North end of Cowboy Stadium •- Hodges Street Fieldhouse •- New grandstands at Cowboy Diamond •- New bleachers at Cowgirl Soccer Field •- New artificial synthetic replicated turf at Cowboy Stadium •- New basketball court and goals •- Upgraded football practice facilities •- Covered center section at Cowgirl Diamond •- New lights for Cowgirls Soccer Field •- New weight room for track & field •- Renovation of men’s basketball and women’s volleyball offices, including a new state of the art theater style media room •- Renovation and expansion of the Jack V. Doland Fieldhouse A combined total of over $11 million in facility renovation and new construction has been made since 2007. During his tenure as Athletics Director, McNeese has won the Southland Conference football championship (2007, 2009), Southland Conference soccer Tournament (2006) and regular season championship (2007), Southland Conference Softball Tournament (2010), the Southland Conference Men’s basketball regular season (2011) and the Southland Conference Women’s basketball regular season (2011) and the State Farm Southland Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship (2011, 2012). In 2011, under McClelland’s leadership, McNeese hosted the first round of the NIT postseason tourament as they hosted ACC member Boston College on ESPNU. McClelland holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Northwestern State where he was a football and track standout. The native of Basile, LA., served as a graduate assistant at Northwestern State in athletics and also worked at the Southland Conference office as an administrative intern, assisting with championship events. McClelland is also a 2012 graduate of the Executive Program of the Sports Management Institute and attended instruction at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. McClelland is married to the former Jessica Stokes of Garrison, Texas. They have two sons, Lawson and Grayson. They reside in Lake Charles.

WOMEN’S BASKEBALL
McNEESE Vicky Chapman (1974, 1975) Inducted 1985
Vicky was the first standout basketball player for the Cowgirls, competing during the first years of McNeese women’s basketball. In those first two years of 1975-76 and 1976-77, the Cowgirls only played 40 games and played as an independent. Chapman played in 39 games and scored 989 points for a 23.0 average, which is the top career average for a Cowgirl. She was a two-time most valuable player and an all-Louisiana selection. Besides leading the team in scoring in both seasons she also led in rebounds. Her 15.8 average for the 1975-76 season continues to stand as a school record. She played three seasons of professional basketball, served as an assistant coach at McNeese and is a teacher on coach in the state system.
The McNeese State Hall of Fame was founded in 1980 by former sports information director Louis Bonnette. The Hall recognizes those who have distinguished themselves in athletics at Louis the University. Membership in the Hall Bonnette now numbers over 100. Bonnette serves as the chairman of the Hall of Fame committee which includes Matthew Bonnette, Tommy McClelland, Keri Ange, Bobby Dower, Johnny Suydam, Ron Hayes, Pam LaFosse, Dr. Daryl Burckel and Kenneth Sweeney . The Hall of Fame is located in the Jack Doland Fieldhouse.
Pat Jean (1980-83) Inducted 1996
During a four year career with the Cowgirls, she set just about every team record. She still holds the school records for points scored (2,461) and rebounds (1,571). She also ranks second in the state of Louisiana in career rebounds and is seventh in points scored. Jean was a four-time all-Louisiana selection and an all-Southland Conference pick for the only year that she played in the conference. In 1983, she also led the conference in rebounding with a 13.7 mark. She continues to hold 14 McNeese State records.
HALL OF FAME
Ann Roubique (197982) Inducted 2001
She was a two sport standout in basketball and softball and a four year letter winner in both. She also spent six years as an assistant women’s basketball coach and three years as tennis coach. In basketball, she was a point guard and at one time held the school record for career assists with 260. Twice she led the team in free throw shooting accuracy and concluded her career with 797 points and a 2.0 assists average. In softball, she was the team MVP in 1979 with a .439 batting average and seven home runs. She was also a three time all-Louisiana. After her coaching career at McNeese, she took over the head coaching position at Cy-Fair High School in Texas where she has developed one of the top girls programs in the state.
www.mcneesesports.com
Tangela McAlister (1992, 1993) Inducted 2006
Tangela is the latest of the Cowgirls to earn all-American honors, having been named to the Basketball Times squad following the 1992-93 season. She only played two years for the Cowgirls, coming from the junior college ranks, but during those two seasons she led McNeese in scoring and rebounding and wound up seventh on the school’s all-time scoring chart with 1.140 points. Twice she was named to the all-Southland Conference and all-Louisiana teams and was a two-time team MVP. During the 1991-92 season she averaged 21.9 points per game while leading the Southland Conference and ranked nationally. Following graduation she entered the banking field and now resides in Nacogdoches, TX.

In her senior season, she led the Cowgirls in scoring and ranked second in the Southland Conference with 15.7 ppg. She ranked second in the SLC with 2.3 threepointers made per game, third with an 82.6 free throw percent. Perry ranked among the nations best in points per game, three-point percent, field goal percent, three-point field goal percent and three-point field goals per game. She scored in double figures in 24 games and set a McNeese and tied a SLC record with nine three-pointers made in the Cowgirls’ 71-66 victory over Louisiana Tech (Jan. 3, 2009). In that game, she also tied a McNeese single game record for points scored with 39.

Sonny Watkins and Bridget Martin served as co-head coaches for four years (1990-94). During that time they were one of a few co-head coaches in the nation. The duo guided McNeese to three Southland Conference Tournaments and produced two All-Southland Conference players in Robin Daniels and Tangela McAlister. Both players garnered individual honors as well. Daniels was named the league’s “Freshman of the Year” in 1992 while McAlister was named the SLC “Newcomer of the Year” that same year. In 1993, McAlister was named to the Basketball Times All-America Team, only the fourth and last McNeese player to become an All-American. Watkins later served as the Universities Athletic Director from 1995-2007 while Martin went on to serve as head coach for seven more years before being named McNeese’s Associate AD for Compliance and Senior Woman Administrator in 2002, titles she still holds to date.
