2013-14 COWGIRL BASKEBALL McNeese returns three starters from a team that advanced to the WBI championship game and posted a 2115 overall record and an 11-7 conference record last season. The Cowgirls will look to replace two of the best players that have worn Cowgirl uniforms, and its top two scorers from the past two seasons in twins Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett. “Things have been different without two of the best players (Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett) that have come through this program. We are just trying to find our way, but I love the group that we have and I like the returners that we have coming back. We have a big void to fill and there will be a lot of people who will try to fill that void for us” said head coach Brooks Donald Williams. The Cowgirls will look to senior Cecilia Okoye, the 2013 Southland Conference “Newcomer of the Year,” to pick up where she left off last season in both scoring and rebounding. The Cowgirls also return starters Arianna James and Alaina Verdin. Okoye led the Cowgirls and ranked fifth in the Southland Conference with a 50.0 field goal shooting percent. Okoye led the Cowgirls in rebounding with 7.1 per game and was third on the team in scoring with 9.1 points per game. Okoye recorded seven double-doubles and scored a career high 21 against Central Arkansas last season. She grabbed 10 or more rebounds in nine games with a career high 15 against Texas Southern. The Cowgirls will look to Okoye to provide inside scoring for the Cowgirls again this season. James will be looked upon for leadership and productive scoring and rebounding this season. She returns as a starter and was second on the team in rebounds with 5.4 per game and was fourth on the team in steals with 34. She also averaged 4.2 ppg. James scored in double figures in five games last season and led the Cowgirls in scoring in one game and was the Cowgirls’ leading rebounder in eight games. Verdin started in 28 games last season as a sophomore and was fifth on the team in scoring with 5.8 ppg. while averaging 2.1 rebounds per game. Verdin also produced the second best free throw percent on the team with a 76.9 free throw percent. Verdin has struggled through injuries the past few seasons, but she has the ability to score in transition as well as in the half court. Last season, Verdin scored in double figures in six games with her career high 16 coming against Tulane early on in the season. The Cowgirls also return senior NeTanya Jones and sophomores www.mcneesesports.com

Allison Baggett and Jayln Johnson. Jones came on strong late in the season, especially during the WBI tournament. Jones averaged 1.4 ppg. and 2.7 rpg. during the season, but led the Cowgirls in rebounds with 6.8 rpg. during the WBI. Jones grabbed a career high 10 rebounds against Elon in the second round of the WBI. Baggett and Johnson are expected to be in the starting lineup this season after both players came off the bench last season. Baggett started in two games last season while Johnson started in one. Baggett was fourth on the team in scoring with 6.3 ppg. and had a 61.1 free throw percent. She scored in double figures in three of the last four games last season and scored a career high 19 against Stephen F. Austin. Johnson averaged 5.3 ppg. and was third on the team with 66 assists and 38 steals. Johnson saw most of her playing time as a reserve behind starter Caitlyn Baggett. Johnson is expected to be the Cowgirls’ starting point guard this season. Johnson had a career game against Centenary last season, scoring a career high 18 points and dished out six assists with seven steals. As usual, the Cowgirls will once again have a tough preseason schedule as the Cowgirls will host Rice, Louisiana Tech, UL-Monroe, and Southern in non-conference games. McNeese will open their season against Wiley College on Nov. 8. The Cowgirls will travel to New York to take part in the Long Island Turkey Classic, November 29-30. McNeese played in this tournament two years ago. While in the area, the Cowgirls will play at Fairleigh Dickinson on Nov. 27 in Teaneck, N.J. The schedule has the Cowgirls traveling to Tulane on Nov. 11 for its first road contest of the season. McNeese will also travel to Texas Southern-N.O. (Nov. 19), Fairleigh Dickinson (Nov. 27), and nationally ranked Baylor on Dec. 28. McNeese will play home and home Southland Conference games against Southeastern La., New Orleans, Texas A&MCorpus Christi, Houston Baptist and Nicholls. The Cowgirls will host Central Arkansas and Oral Roberts in games that will be played at the Lake Charles Civic Center, and will travel to Sam Houston State, Lamar, Northwestern State and Stephen F. Austin. The Cowgirls open the Southland Conference schedule at home against Southeastern La. on Jan. 2 and New Orleans on Jan. 4.

BROOKS DONALD WILLIAMS

2013-14 COWGIRL BASKEBALL

For the third consecutive year, head coach Brooks Donald Williams led McNeese to a postseason tournament. Williams guided the Cowgirls to the WBI championship game in 2013 and back-toback Southland Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2011 and 2012. Williams has posted more than 20 win seasons in each of the last three seasons. McNeese picked up the programs first postseason victory last season with an 82-70 win over Mercer in the first round of the WBI. The Cowgirls posted a 3-1 record in the WBI, falling 7362 to Detroit in the championship game. Last season, Williams posted a 2115 overall record and 11-7 conference record and advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament for the third consecutive season and fifth in last six years. Williams also produced the Southland’s Newcomer of the Year in Cecilia Okoye and the Student Athlete of the Year, Ashlyn Baggett for the third straight year. Williams picked up her 100th career victory with a 65-45 win over Northwestern State on March 13, 2013 in the opening round of the Southland Conference Tournament. Williams led McNeese to its most successful season in school history in 2011 by winning the Southland Conference regular season title, only the second in program history. 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. In 2012, Williams led the Cowgirls to their second consecutive SLC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament. The Cowgirls nearly picked 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 the 2012 National Champs Baylor, UCLA, LSU and defending 2011 National Champions Texas A&M. The Cowgirls also played in the preseason WNIT (at UCLA) and hosted a WNIT consolation tournament, which the Cowgirls won versus Alabama Birmingham. Williams led the Cowgirls to a 26-7 overall record, 15-1 Southland Conference record, and an undefeated home record (15-0) during the 2010-11 season. The 20 win season was the first for the Cowgirls in 24 years. The overall record matched the best turnaround in NCAA history following a 7-22 record in 2009-10. The 26 overall and 15 conference wins are school records. The Cowgirls got off to their best conference start (6-0) in school history and the 14-5 start was the best overall start in 14 years. McNeese tied the school’s longest winning streak (12 games) and won 19 of its last 21 games of the season. McNeese broke into a poll for the first time in school history, the collegeinsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Women’s Basketball poll on Feb. 15, 2011, coming in at No. 25. The Cowgirls ended the season ranked No. 15 in the final poll. In 2009, McNeese picked up a milestone victory with a win over three-time National Champions Louisiana Tech. That year the Cowgirls shot a school record, led the Southland Conference (for the second straight year), and ranked 76th in the nation with a 71.8 free throw percent in 2009. The Cowgirls also ranked second in the SLC with a 34.3 three-point field goal percent. Off the court, Williams and the Cowgirls have participated in numerous community service activities including the Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Walk and the JD Bank Toys for Tots drive for the past six years. Williams has ignited a fan following in the community, speaking to groups about her passion and motivation about the revival and continued success of the program. Williams’ community and local recruiting efforts have increased attendance drastically. In 2010, Williams was recognized by Toys for Tots Southwest Louisiana for outstanding achievement in support of the community and Toys for Tots. Williams was named one of Southwest Louisiana’s Up and Coming Under 40 recipients by the Times of Southwest Louisiana and Fusion Five in 2009. In 2009 Williams founded and directed the McNeese Cowgirl Basketball Lyrics and Layups fundraiser, which has evolved into an annual community event of the spring. In August of 2013 Williams received the President’s Award for outstanding community service for McNeese administration. She currently serves as the WBCA Southland Conference Captain and is in her final year of a three-year term representing the SLC as a Regional Advisory Committee member for NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball. Williams is also

HEAD COACH- 7th Season

serving in her second year on the USA TODAY Top 25 Coaches’ Poll committee. In her first season, Williams guided the Cowgirls to a 10-21 record and second place tie in the East Division after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason polls. Williams led the Cowgirls to victories in four of their last six games and advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament. Williams’ 2007-08 squad broke seven McNeese records (six team and one individual), tied two, and set a Southland Conference record with 16 three-pointers made in a road victory at Lamar. The Cowgirls handed the Cardinals their first home loss of the season that night. The Cowgirls also upset longtime national powerhouse Stephen F. Austin and eventual Southland Conference Tournament champion and NCAA participant Texas-San Antonio. McNeese ended the season leading the league in free throw shooting percent, ranked second in three-point field goals made and assist-turnover ratio, and ranked third in three-point field goal percent.

2013-14 COWGIRL BASKEBALL Bruce Hemphill Athletic Director

SUPPORT STAFF

Bruce Hemphill, former associate athletics director at the University of Wyoming and assistant to the athletics director at the University of North Carolina, was named McNeese State Athletics Director on Aug. 15. He is the 9th athletics director in McNeese history. “It is rare to have one candidate pull head and shoulders away from all applicants so early in the search process,” McNeese President Dr. Philip Williams said. “Bruce is a unique find and meets every criteria that we were seeking in an athletics director.” “He understands the role athletics plays in the larger university environment and he understands the difficulty we face with the athletic budget and the importance of increasing revenue through private sources and auxiliary means,” Williams said. “I am deeply honored and excited to be given the responsibility to lead the athletics department at this great university,” Hemphill said. “I plan to immerse myself in the history of McNeese State University and McNeese athletics and to meet with as many people as possible to determine what is good for McNeese.” The Sulphur, La., native has 24 years administrative experience at the collegiate and high school levels. He supervised 10 of 17 programs offered at a major Division 1 university and was responsible for budget oversight, game operations, facilities, personnel, compliance, team travel, and recruiting. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Louisiana State University where he was a three-year letterman in football and won All-Academic Southeast Conference honors at wide receiver. His professional experience began at LSU where he was a graduate assistant and assistant football coach. In 1984, after serving as the supervisor for Health and Physical Education for the Louisiana Department of Education, he returned to collegiate athletics and served for two years as an assistant football coach at Louisiana Tech University. In 1987 he became the recruiting coordinator at North Carolina State University. From 1989-1990 he served as the assistant recruiting coordinator at the University of South Carolina. He joined the athletics department staff at the University of North Carolina in 1990 and served eight years as assistant to the athletics director and director of recruiting. From 1999-2003 he was associate Athletics Director at the University of Wyoming. In 2003 he returned to North Carolina and accepted a position as Athletics Director at a 4A high school, the largest classification in the state.

Quotes from colleagues about Bruce Hemphill: “McNeese has hired the perfect fit in Bruce Hemphill. He is from Southwest Louisiana and he will bring the community together around McNeese athletics. Bruce understands what it takes to build a successful Division I athletics program. He has exceptional people skills and he is a great leader and motivator. He is a fundraiser and he will build support for the program. Bruce is a professional and kind of person McNeese needs. He is a terrific choice!” - Lee Moon, Director of Athletics - University of North Florida; Former Athletics Director - University of Wyoming “McNeese hit a home run with Bruce Hemphill! A great plus for Bruce is that he is from Louisiana, played football at LSU, and worked at LSU and Louisiana Tech. He knows what it takes to build a successful program and he will lead the McNeese athletics department in the right direction. I have known Bruce since 1982 and our paths have crossed several times. He has held a wide range of positions in collegiate athletics from recruiting to administrative and he knows how to get things done. Bruce understands the role that athletics plays in the overall success of the university. He is a people person and he will do a great job with fundraising and moving the McNeese athletics department forward. He is without a doubt the best choice for the McNeese athletics director!” - Carl Torbush, Head Football Coach - East Tennessee State University; Former Head Football Coach - University of North Carolina

American Idol finalist and Westlake, La. native Josh Ledet performed in front of more than 8,000 fans at Burton Coliseum during Ledet’s home visit in 2012. The free tickets to the concert went within an hour. Ledet performed songs such as “When a Man Loves a Women,” “To Love Somebody,” “Ready for Love,” “I Believe” and “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”

The Burton Memorial Coliseum Complex is under the operation of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury and has four full-service buildings that has been undergoing renovations since the 2012-13 season. The Coliseum was constructed in 1976 with tax money voted on by the residents of Calcasieu Parish on land donated by the late W.T. Burton. The Coliseum itself is a domed arena with permanent seating for 6,500 and temporary seating for another 2,000. The roof of the dome is 105 feet high, with over 24,000 square feet of concrete floor space and the building is air conditioned and heated. The H.G. Chalkley Room, a banquetstyle room in the coliseum, can seat 200 people comfortably and is available for any number of activities. Another part of the Burton Complex is the 160,000 square feet of floor space in the Livestock and Exhibit Building. A massive roof covers four acres of excellent facilities for beef, swine, sheep and horses, as well as a judging area, additional pens and show office.

2013-14 COWGIRL BASKEBALL

HALL OF FAME

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.

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.

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, Bruce Hemphill, 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.

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.

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.

Shante’ Perry was a two-time All-SLC pick during her four year career at McNeese. Perry scored her 1,000th point against UTArlington on Feb. 11, 2009 and ended her career as the school’s ninth all-time leading scorer. 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.
