COWGIRLS A HISTORICAL SEASON McNeese enjoyed a historical season in 2011 when the Cowgirls went on to win a school record 26 games, producing a 26-7 overall record.

The turnaround from a 7-22 overall record during the 200910 season to its 26-7 overall record during the 2010-11 season equaled the best turnaround in NCAA history. The turnaround was a 17 game difference from the previous season in which Valporaiso also did it from the 2000-2001 season to the 20012002 season with the same records. The 20 win season was the first in 24 years and only the fourth in program history. The Cowgirls set several records during the season which all started with a 6-0 Southland Conference start, the best start in school history.

That streak tied the longest school winning streak with the 1980-81 Cowgirl squad. McNeese began the season 14-5 overall, the best start in school history in 14 years. The 1996-97 team also began the year with a 14-5 record. The Cowgirls were perfect at home, producing a 13-0 home court record. Another home court record the Cowgirls broke was its attendance record. The Cowgirls played eight home games in which the attendance was over 1,000 and set the all-time school home attendance record several times during the season with the new record set in the final home game of the season against Lamar on March 5 in which 3,256 fans saw the Cowgirls clinch the regular season title. McNeese ended the season ranked 10th in the NCAA in home attendance behind Louisville, Iowa, St. John’s (N.Y.), Michigan St., West Virginia, Gonzaga, Texas A&M, Boise State, and Oregon. The Cowgirls broke into a Mid-Major Top 25 poll during the season, coming in at No. 25 in the collegeinsider.com poll on Feb. 15. McNeese ended the season ranked 15th in the final poll.

Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett became the first two women’s basketball players to have their jersey’s retired when their jerseys were dropped down from the rafters at Burton Coliseum during the 2013-2014 season, a year following their playing careers. During their careers, the Baggetts led McNeese to three consecutive postseason tournaments (2011, 2012 NCAA; 2013 WBI) as well as two Southland Conference Tournament titles (2011, 2012) and a regular season Southland Conference Title (2011). The two also earned Southland Conference Tournament MVP honors, Ashlyn in 2011 and Caitlyn in 2012. Both players were three-time AllSouthland Conference picks as well as three-time All-Louisiana selections. The duo notched their names in the McNeese record books as both ended their careers ranked second and third in career scoring. Ashlyn ended her career ranked second in scoring with 2,053 points while Caitlyn was third with 1,674 points.

COWGIRLS

2015-16

BROOKS DONALD WILLIAMS Passion, dedication, and enthusiasm are just a few words used to describe McNeese State’s winningest coach Brooks Donald Williams. Williams, who enters her ninth season as head coach of the Cowgirls, became the school’s all-time leader after a 79-74 road win at Sam Houston State, giving her 132 career wins. Williams guided McNeese to an 18-14 record in 2015 and its seventh Southland Conference Tournament appearance. After taking over a program that didn’t have a winning record in nearly a decade, Williams has posted a 110-57 record since 2010 and led McNeese to five consecutive postseason tournaments including two NCAA Tournaments and three WBI Tournaments. Williams’ energetic and hard working demeanor have been the backbone in establishing McNeese as a force not only in the Southland Conference, but throughout the country. With a fiercely competitive Williams at the helm, the Cowgirls have posted 20 or more wins in three of the last five seasons, narrowly missing their fourth straight 20win season in 2014 with a 19-14 record after graduating two of the programs greats, twin sisters, Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett in 2013. In her nine year stint, Williams has produced an overall career record of 141117, averaging over 17 wins per season. After inheriting a team in a troubled APR situation, success in the classroom has been a focal point for the highly motivated Williams since her arrival in 2007. McNeese has produced four Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the year winners, Allison Baggett (2014) and Ashlyn Baggett (2011-2013), 10 Southland Conference All-Academic Team selections, and an impressive 100% graduation rate for players that have exhausted their eligibility. Williams has been a master at skill development during her tenure at McNeese producing 16 SLC All-Conference selections, seven SLC AllTournament team selections, two SLC Tournament MVPs, one SLC Newcomer of the Year selection, and nine All-Louisiana selections. McNeese has won 70% (60-26) of their Southland Conference games since 2010 and ranked #1 in the SLC in scoring defense from 2010-2012.

HEAD COACH- 9th Season

women’s basketball program. Williams and the Cowgirls have participated in numerous community service activities including the Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Walk, Habitat for Humanity, Buddy Ball, CADA, Special Olympics, Rowdy’s Readers, Junior League’s Fit Kids, Derby for Dollars, FCA Night of Champions, American Cancer Society Walk, Mall-0-Ween, Zydeco Festival, Lake Charles Senior Center Clean-up and the JD Bank Toys for Tots drive to name a few. In 2014, senior Cowgirl Netanya Jones received national recognition at the Women’s Final Four in Nashville, TN for her community service efforts by being named to the Allstate/WBCA Good Works Team. In August of 2013, Williams received the President’s Award for outstanding community service for a McNeese administrator. Williams was also recognized by Toys for Tots Southwest Louisiana for outstanding achievement in support of the community and for Toys for Tots in 2010. She was named one of Southwest Louisiana’s Up and Coming Under 40 recipients by the Times of Southwest Louisiana and Fusion Five in 2009. Also in 2009, Williams founded and directed the McNeese Cowgirl Basketball Lyrics and Layups fundraiser, which has evolved into an annual community event in the spring. In 2013, Williams posted a 21-15 overall record and 11-7 conference record and advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament for the third consecutive season and sixth in last seven years. 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. Following the conference tournament, a fiery Williams led her team to the program’s first ever postseason victory with an 82-70 win over the #1 seeded Mercer Bears in the first round of the WBI. The Cowgirls continued to make program history with wins over #4 seeded Elon and #6 seeded South Dakota vaulting them into the WBI championship game versus Detroit. 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.

A true innovator, Williams has been instrumental in marketing her program and creating a truly exciting basketball atmosphere in Lake Charles. Under Williams, attendance has more than tripled since 2010, and her Cowgirls own the top ten home attendance records in program history, highlighted by the 4,089 fans that witnessed a highly competitive game versus LSU on December 16, 2011.

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.

For her accomplishments on the court, Williams was named the league’s and Louisiana’s Coach of the Year.

COWGIRLS 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.

A native of Jennings, La., Williams spent three years at the University of Southern Mississippi. Prior to her stint with the Lady Eagles, she spent one season at the University of Memphis and three years at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

In 2009, McNeese picked up a milestone victory with a win over threetime 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.

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. Williams, McNeese’s ninth head coach, brought interest and excitement back to the Cowgirl program in her first season and has built it into a championship program. In her first full recruiting season at McNeese, Williams continued to show why she is a proven recruiter by signing the Louisiana 3A and 5A state MVP’s and the Northeast Louisiana “Player of the Year”. The following year, Williams signed the 2009 Louisiana Sports Writers’ Miss Basketball and Class B outstanding player and MVP, along with two local all-state players and a national junior college scoring leader.

She signed the Arkansas Player of the Year, Mississippi Player of the Year, a junior college All-American, as well as ten Top 100 players in the country.

As a prep player at Jennings High, Williams earned All-State, All-Parish and All-District honors. She was a fouryear starter and played in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association allstar game, serving as team captain. Her Jennings squad won four straight district titles. Williams was also a member of the Acadiana Stars AAU program during her prep days, participating in state and national tournaments. She was a member of the Lady Bulldogs squad at Mississippi State University, from which she holds a bachelor degree, but her playing career was sidelined due to injuries. Williams is the daughter of Jennings community members, David and Brenda Donald and the granddaughter and great niece of Dan L.

COWGIRLS 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.

HALL OF FAME 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, Theron McClendon, Johnny Suydam, Ron Hayes, Pam LaFosse, Dr. Daryl Burckel and Bob Fuhrer. 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.

Ann Roubique (1979-82) 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.

Margie Hinton Radleman (Coach) Inducted 2015

Margie Hinton Randleman was instrumental in getting the Cowgirl basketball program on the map. During her five seasons at the helm (1978-82), her teams won a total of 94 games and posted two 20-win seasons. Her best year came in 1981 that saw her squad finish the year 23-5 behind the play of McNeese Hall of Famer Pat Jean. She averaged 19 wins a season as basketball coach (94-58) and coached two of the top four teams with the most wins in a season (23 in 1981 and 22 in 1980). She was also the head volleyball coach for the Cowgirls in 1975 and 1976.

2015-16

Bruce Hemphill Athletic Director

Bruce Hemphill is in his third year as athletic director for McNeese after the former associate AD at the University of Wyoming and assistant to the AD at the University of North Carolina became the ninth athletics director in school history in August of 2013. “Bruce 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,” said McNeese President Dr. Philip Williams. The first two years under Hemphill was an eventful one as McNeese’s athletic programs excelled both on the playing field and in the classroom. Academically, McNeese set a school record in the 2013-14 sport season by having five players named as the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for their respective sports. The program also led all conference schools in the 2014 spring semester with 21 student-athletes compiling a perfect 4.0 grade point average. And Cowgirl softball player Alana DiVittorio became just the second player in the sport to earn Capital One Academic All-America honors. McNeese received the Southland Conference Academic Progress Award for the 2014-15 for posting the highest APR score in the league. McNeese football was the only team recognized from the Southland Conference as the recipient of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) APR Award. Athletically, McNeese finished fourth out of 13 teams in the Commisioner’s Cup Standings - the highest placing since finishing fourth in the 2002-03 season. It’s also the sixth straight year McNeese has been the highest finishing school among Louisiana SLC league teams. Ten of the school’s 16 sports programs finished fifth or higher in their respective sport standings. In the 2013-14 sports season, McNeese finished fifth out of the 14 SLC schools for the 2013-14 SLC Commissioner’s Cup standings. The Cowgirl softball team won a school record 40 games en route to its second consecutive league championship and the Cowboy football team won 10 games and qualified for its league-record 15th FCS playoff appearance. In addition, the men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as volleyball, tennis, baseball and softball, all qualified for the league postseason tournament. During his two years as Director of Athletics, Hemphill worked with the McNeese administration to gain the support of legislation, boosters and private donors for the new $44 million Health and Human Performance Complex that will also become the home for McNeese men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The Sulphur, La., native has 26 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. Hemphill has two sons - James, 20, a junior basketball player at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and Jack, 16, a junior in high school; and a daughter, Hayden, 19, a freshman at SMU and is a member of the school’s Crew (rowing) team.

Shante’ Perry was a two-time AllSLC pick during her four year career at McNeese. Perry scored her 1,000th point against UT-Arlington on Feb. 11, 2009 and ended her career as the school’s ninth alltime 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 three-pointers 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.
