IT'S PERSONAL "I had a lot of options when I graduated from high school, but I chose RSU. The campus is beautiful, and the financial aid office connected me with scholarship opportunities that allowed me to graduate debt free. I got the traditional university experience while getting hands-on research experience that will definitely pay off when I go to dental school." CLAREMORE | BARTLESVILLE | PRYOR

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT We welcome you to another season of Hillcat basketball, which promises to build upon the excellence we've seen in previous years. The development of our athletic programs mirrors the exciting changes that have occurred throughout the university with a distinguished list of recent milestones that includes: • Developing as Oklahoma’s fastest growing regional university during the past decade while still maintaining the personalized academic attention that’s become the university's hallmark; • Adding new academic programs to meet the needs of Oklahoma’s business and industry, including our first master’s degree program starting in fall 2014; • Constructing two student apartment communities and a dining hall (to open in fall 2014) that serve the Tulsa metropolitan area’s only residential, public university; • Expanding and remodeling academic facilities to provide students with up-to-date academic resources; and • Developing strong ties with the communities we serve in order to fulfill our mission of education and service. RSU’s rapid growth also extends to our intercollegiate athletics, which are a relatively new addition after being reintroduced to campus in 2005. In only a few short years, our Hillcat teams have become a vital component of the university’s DNA providing an infectious campus spirit and a strong connection to the community. The university and our students have invested in athletic facilities, including the new baseball/softball complex, Bushyhead Fieldhouse renovations, expansion and turf installation at Soldier Field and construction of soccer and cross country facilities on campus. We appreciate our entire student body for their support of these campus initiatives, including the student fees that funded the recently completed $4 million renovations of the soccer facilities and baseball/softball complex. Their support signals a strong vote of confidence in our athletic programs, but also represents their investment in the quality of life at Rogers State. This year, our Hillcats begin their first season of competition within the Heartland Conference in the NCAA Division II. We have appreciated the high priority these two organizations have placed on promoting healthy values, developing strong character traits, and encouraging academic achievement among all student-athletes. These are core values for RSU’s programs, and we work daily to impress them upon our student-athletes. We appreciate your interest in RSU athletics, and we look forward to another great season on the pitch.

Dr. Larry Rice

President Rogers State University

u Rogers State University became an accredited four-year university in 2000.

LETTER FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Greetings from the Hill and welcome to the seventh edition of Hillcat Basketball. The RSU Athletic Department embarks on a new chapter during the 2013-14 campaign as the Hillcats enter the Heartland Conference and continue the NCAA Division II membership process. The RSU Men and Women’s Basketball teams have enjoyed tremendous success since their inaugural seasons in 2007-08. During our tenure in the Sooner Athletic Conference, both programs qualified for the SAC postseason tournament in six consecutive seasons and earned NAIA national tournament berths three times each. There is no better time to be involved in Hillcat Athletics as we look to continue to improve upon the triumphs that have helped make Rogers State Hillcats a household name. Both our Men and Women’s Basketball teams have built a solid foundation for the program while also emphasizing the importance of academic success. We are very proud of our Men and Women’s Basketball team’s accomplishments and are excited to see what the future holds for these fledging programs. The outpouring of community support has played a huge role in our success and will remain vital to Hillcat Athletics as we strive to raise the bar once again in 2013-2014. Thank you for all you do to support the Hillcats!

Director of Athletics Rogers State University

u RSU Athletics Director Ryan Erwin, his wife Kristy and their children Gage(3) and Gentry (1) joined the Hillcat family in September 2013.

ABOUT RSU

u RSU offers a wide variety of bachelor’s and associate degrees.

Rogers State University: A Great Oklahoma Higher Education Success Story

Rogers State University holds a historic position in the annals of Oklahoma higher education. Since RSU was accredited as a four-year university in 2000, enrollment has increased by more than 60 percent, earning RSU the title of Oklahoma's fastest-growing regional university A dynamic, progressive university with nearly 4,300 students, RSU is widely recognized for its high-quality academic programs, distance learning options and high-technology learning environment. RSU is the only public four-year, residential university in the Tulsa metropolitan area. RSU offers a wide variety of bachelor's and associate degrees. Innovative new bachelor's degrees include applied technology, environmental conservation, military history, sport management and game development. In fall 2014, the university will begin its first graduate degree program, a master’s of business administration. Many students from northeast Oklahoma who plan to attend medical school complete their undergraduate studies through RSU's program in medical/molecular biology. And RSU enjoys a statewide reputation for academic excellence in its nursing program.

Distinguished Academic Achievements

RSU received continued accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools without further required evaluation for 10 years - a rarity in higher education in Oklahoma and a major accomplishment achieved by few universities. This is truly a testament to the high academic quality of RSU. RSU participates in The Washington Center Internship Program, a nationally recognized program placing students with private, public, and nonprofit organizations in Washington, D.C. Students participating in the semester-long internship earn college credit while they gain "real world" experience within their field of interest and interact with influential leaders and policymakers. RSU is one of only three universities in Oklahoma to participate in this prestigious program.

ABOUT RSU Most RSU faculty members hold doctoral degrees or the highest degrees available in their fields from esteemed institutions across the nation, including Princeton University, Duke University and the University of Oklahoma.

A major expansion and renovation of Baird Hall on the Claremore campus was completed in 2010. The new Baird Hall has doubled in size and contains many of the leadingedge features associated with higher learning today, including classrooms equipped with Smart Boards, a performance studio, an art gallery and an outdoor classroom for learning outdoors on sunny days.

The university’s Honors Program provides an atmosphere where scholars can challenge themselves academically to maximize their college experience through specialized courses, student/faculty joint research projects, and a strong emphasis on service learning in the community.

RSU opened in September 2011 a new student apartment community that doubles the number of students living on the main campus in Claremore. The $11.5 million project accommodates up to 255 students in a three-level facility, located across the street from the present university apartments. The new 87,118-square-foot complex is located just west of Soldier Field. A new student dining hal will open on campus in fall 2014.

The President's Leadership Class (PLC), a four-year scholarship program that fosters personal and professional development, was designed for RSU students who have demonstrated leadership abilities. RSU also offers study abroad programs in Italy and Wales through the University's Studies-at-Large Program. The international study programs provide students with opportunities to see the world, learn about other cultures, and enrich their educational experience.

Stratton Taylor Library, which opened in 2004, features distinguished collections, wireless Internet, study areas, reading rooms, computer stations and classrooms.

A Brief History of RSU

Growth in Learning Facilities

RSU was founded in 1909 as Eastern University Preparatory School in Claremore. The school prepared the daughters and sons of area residents to attend college. Historic Preparatory Hall, known for its iconic gold dome, was the first building on the school's campus.

The Centennial Center, which opened in 2009, has become the centerpiece of the main campus in Claremore. This twolevel, 50,000-square-foot facility combines student development programs under one roof, serves as a central location for students to study and socialize and provides a focal point for the RSU campus in Claremore. The facility also offers ballrooms, conference centers, and meeting rooms for the community.

However, the school closed only a few years after it opened. Taking its place was the storied Oklahoma Military Academy (OMA), which operated on the Hill from 1919 to 1971.

ABOUT RSU

u RSU is Oklahoma’s fastest growing regional university.

Known as the “West Point of the Southwest,” OMA has an extensive register of graduates who became great leaders, both in military and civilian life. More than 2,500 OMA graduates served in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. More than 100 graduates gave their lives in service to their country. In 1971, OMA closed and Claremore Junior College opened on the Hill, serving more than 400 students. The junior college grew rapidly in the 1970s, and by the time it was renamed Rogers State College in 1982, the institution boasted a variety of associate degree programs, distance learning capabilities, a new radio and television station and intercollegiate athletics. In 1999, the Oklahoma Legislature renamed the institution Rogers State University and charged it with seeking accreditation as a four-year university. Accreditation at the baccalaureate level was granted in 2000. RSU offers a wide variety of bachelor's degree programs to students on campuses in Claremore, Bartlesville, Pryor and online.

Each year, RSU introduces a variety of programs to enrich the college experiences of its student-athletes, helping them avoid potential pitfalls and giving them information useful when making important life decisions. The following are some examples of Hillcat LIFE programs: Habitudes for Athletes Habitudes for Athletes is a character-based leadership training program designed to prepare athletes for successful participation in team sports as well as life off the playing field.

MEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK Mundende joined the team in January and sat out during the spring in preparation for the fall. Brantley is the lone player in the group who saw the court last year, playing in 25 games as a true freshman, averaging almost eight minutes per game.

In just six years of existence the Rogers State men’s basketball team made its ascent to becoming a NAIA contender. Now, RSU is set to embark on the next chapter of Hillcat Hoops as they play their first season in the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference.

“Brandon made the most of his opportunities and has met our expectations and then some,” Barkley said. “We are ecstatic he is in our program. He has improved over the spring and fall semesters. He can stretch the floor inside and out and we are excited to see what he has to offer over the next three years. Bo was a part of our program last year but suffered a torn ACL in the fall and worked hard after the surgery. He has worked so hard and I hope it pays off for him this year. It’s hard to look at that kid and not think good things. Ritchie came in at Christmas but sat out in the spring. Ritchie understands what we want out of him every day.”

RSU Head Coach Justin Barkley, who enters his fourth season at the helm of Hillcat men’s basketball, is excited about his 201314 squad.

RETURNERS

The Hillcats return a trio of players who saw time on last year’s team. Sophomore J.C. Hartzler headlines the group after a standout freshman campaign. The Tulsa, Okla. native played in all 32 games, making 20 starts as he averaged 23.4 minutes per game. He averaged 6.2 points and 3.3 rebounds.

NEWCOMERS

“We lost a heavily dominated senior class and we’re not returning many guys with a lot of on the floor experience under our system,” Barkley said. “Probably the most prominent guy we had day in and day out was J.C. Hartzler.”

Coach Barkley added 11 newcomers to the squad for the 2013-14 season. Three of the new faces join the team for their final season of collegiate basketball. Seniors Jerry Dixon, Josh May, and Damien Hooks all look to make an immediate impact on the team.

Coach Barkley was impressed by Hartzler’s ability to play beside the caliber of players in Hillcat red and blue last season. “His ability to buy into what we were selling showed us we knew what we were getting from J.C. night in and night out. We are going to really rely on him not only this year but for the next two years. Any time you bring in a guy like J.C. it is an investment. We are trying to build our future and we feel like we hit a home run.”

“Jerry, Josh and Damien all bring a lot to the table. They are a vital piece of the puzzle as we allow our youth to grow up. Jerry had an outstanding JUCO career. I think he fits our system and he seems excited.” Dixon comes to RSU from Howard College (Texas) where he was a two-year starter for the Hawks. He helped lead Howard to an overall record of 46-15 during his two seasons, averaging 9.4 points, four assists, three rebounds and two steals. Hooks, a Tulsa, Okla. native, returns to Green Country to round out his career after one season at Southwest Baptist (Mo.). He led the team in scoring with 15.2 points per game and hauled in 5.1 rebounds while earning All-MIAA Honorable Mention honors.

Senior guard Robinson Odoch Opong joined the Hillcats in January and was instantly a difference maker on the court for RSU. He averaged 9.9 points, per game coming off the bench in the Hillcats final ten games. “Robinson was a late addition last year and we did not know what we were getting with Rob,” Barkley said. “What he brings to the table is his ability to score, shoot and stretch the floor. He came in and had a good fall. I think he is taking over some leadership. We are excited to have a couple of guys who understand our system. Rob and J.C. are two good guys to rely on.”

“Damien came to RSU from Southwest Baptist. He played JUCO at Northern Junior College in Tonkawa. He had a great season at Southwest Baptist. They play in the MIAA which is a great Division II league. We are excited to see him play this year.”

Brandon Brantley, Jonathan Buckley, Ritchie Mundende and Jon “Bo” Bond also return to the Hill this season. Buckley and Bond both redshirted last season while

MEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK SCHEDULE

Cory Ayala played one season at Rend Lake College (Ill.) where he helped the team to a National Junior College Athletic Association Division II National Championship as a freshman. While at Rend lake he averaged 5.5 points and dished out 71 assists as the team’s point guard. Coach Barkley compared Ayala to former Hillcat point guard Maurice Rutherford.

The Hillcats will kick off the 2013-14 slate on November 6, as the team travels to NCAA Division I Oral Roberts for an exhibition. It is the fifth exhibition meeting between the two squads. “Anytime you get an opportunity to play a Division I team it is exciting. The kids get excited about it and we are very thankful for ORU letting us come play. It is something we look forward to and mark on the schedule. We look for guys to step up and look to see what we have.”

Cory was the starting point guard on the JUCO National Champion team. He reminds me of Mo (Maurice Rutherford) in the past. He is a leader and works extremely hard. We are lucky to have him and will rely on him a lot.” Four freshmen from Northeastern Oklahoma complete the Hillcat squad. “We are very pleased with the freshman class we recruited. We wanted to get some youth on the floor. Word is getting out that we have a good program over here. We wanted to get kids to build around for Division II.” Jenks, Okla. native Jake Seidel comes to the Hill after a standout career at Jenks High School. In his senior season, he averaged 18 points and four rebounds per game, helping the Trojans to a regional championship. “Jake comes to us after a great career at Jenks High School. He has adapted well to the college level. He has been very well coached. He has an opportunity to have a great career here.” “Jaylen Sharp was the Oklahoma Class 2A Player of the Year, an All-State selection and has been a great surprise. He has made the transition to college very well coming from Ketchum, Okla. He has a chance to be really good at this level. He is a gym rat and will be a special player at Rogers State.” A pair of former teammates from Broken Arrow High School brought their talents to the Hill. Jordan Huffman was a threeyear starter for the Tigers. In his senior season, Huffman helped BAHS to a state tournament appearance. He was named to the 6AAll-State team and first team all-conference. Dontae Campbell averaged 11 points and 4.5 rebounds with a school record 25 charges taken on the season as a senior. He was named Fox 23 Athlete of the Week, Tulsa World Player of the Week, and first team all-conference “Huffman and Campbell will both redshirt this year to get some growth on the floor and in the classroom. All of our freshmen are great but these two guys both have a very bright future. Dontae has grown a lot and Jordan was an all-stater and needs to continue to work.”

u Robinson Odoch Opong returns for his senior season after bursting onto the scene in the Spring of 2013.

MEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK

u The Hillcats will welcome several new foes to the Claremore Expo season this season as they will play their first season as members of the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference.

With the move to the Heartland Conference, RSU will face several new opponents this season while taking on a few familiar foes. The Hillcats will open the season on November 9, as RSU celebrates homecoming at the Claremore Expo against Southwestern Christian (Okla.). They will head to Alva, Okla. on November 11 for their first road trip of the season against former Sooner Athletic Conference foe Northwestern Oklahoma State.

“It will be good to play in the Fort Smith Classic because we will be playing two very talented Great American Conference teams. We will understand what we need to work on and what we are doing very well.” Coach Barkley’s squad will kick off the conference slate on December 2 against Newman (Kan.). Two familiar rivals from the Sooner Athletic Conference are also transitioning to NCAA Division II and will be on the conference slate against the Hillcats. Lubbock Christian joined the Heartland this year with the Hillcats, while Oklahoma Christian began play in the conference last season.

“Our non-conference schedule has changed this season with the move to DII. We have a shortened schedule with 26 games rather than the 30 we played last season. It is a grind from start to finish with not much time to prepare for the conference with four less nonconference games. We feel we have a good schedule put together. I think we have six games with nonDivision II schools and three of those are in the SAC (Sooner Athletic Conference) which we know will be stiff competition. Two of the non-conference DII games are against teams we have played in the past. Those will be very good challenges.”

“One good thing about the conference schedule is that there are a couple of other teams making the transition from NAIA to DII and played in the SAC so there is a little familiarity. But there are nine other teams that we haven’t faced; no scouting reports or films, but I am excited about the change and I think it fits the next chapter of RSU Athletics.”

RSU will travel to Fort Smith, Ark. on November 15-16 to take on Henderson State and Ouachita Baptist in the UA-Fort Smith Lion Classic.

2012-2013 MEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW For the sixth consecutive season the Rogers State men’s basketball team tallied 20 victories as the NAIA era for Hillcat Athletics came to a close.

points as RSU pulled off a 10 point victory. The 57 point output by OBU was the fewest points allowed by a Hillcat Top 25 opponent by the midway mark of the season. It was also the fourth Top 25 victory for RSU as the Hillcats moved to 14-3 on the year.

The season began with high expectations as the Hillcats were picked to finish second in the Sooner Athletic Conference and were ranked No. 5 in the NAIA Preseason Coaches’ Poll.

The tough stretch wasn’t over as RSU would travel to Siloam Springs, Ark. just two days later to face No. 25-ranked John Brown. The Hillcats held a one-point advantage at the intermission, but JBU would hold the lead throughout most of the second half including a 10 point advantage. With a minute remaining JBU led by four points but senior Kendrell Thompson’s dagger from behind the arc with 41 seconds to go trimmed the Golden Eagle lead to one point. A turnover by JBU with 19 seconds to go led to a Holdman layup with nine seconds on the clock. After a timeout by the Golden Eagles, JBU was able to weave through the Hillcat defense allowing EJ McWoods to make a layup with three seconds on the clock. With no timeouts remaining, RSU inbounded to Thompson and the Houston,

Coach Justin Barkley’s squad opened the season 7-0 including victories over No. 16-ranked MidAmerica Nazarene, 98-86, on the road and topping No. 7-ranked Our Lady of the Lake, 9886, in San Antonio. The hot start was slowed as the No. 21-ranked Evangel Crusaders downed the Hillcats 72-59 at the Oklahoma Baptist University Classic in Shawnee, Okla. over Thanksgiving Break. Barkley’s group responded nicely following the loss to Evangel with a trio of victories including home wins over Dallas Christian and Avila. After December began with the home victory against Avila the Hillcats traveled to Alva, Okla. to face former SAC foe Northwestern Okla. State while ranked No. 4 in the NAIA Poll. RSU was unable to top the Rangers as NWOSU came away with a six point victory giving RSU its second loss of the season. A return to the Claremore Expo was just what the Hillcats needed as RSU routed the Royals of Ecclesia, 97-58. With a record of 11-2, ninth-ranked RSU welcomed No. 13-ranked MidAmerica Nazarene to the Claremore Expo for yet another Top 25 matchup prior to conference action. Transfer Ken Holdman and the Hillcats other four senior guards combined to total 76 points as all five reached double-figure scoring individually in the 84-73 RSU victory. Holdman recorded the first double-double in his lone season as a Hillcat with 21 points and 10 rebounds. RSU started hot from behind the arc knocking down 7-of-7 from 3-point range to open the game versus the Pioneers as the Hillcats finished shooting 44.4 percent from long distance. Coming off the Top 25 victory against MNU the Hillcats opened SAC play on the road at USAO and the Drovers dropped the Cats 78-71. Two days later RSU fell to Mid-America Christian 93-84 in Claremore. The loss moved RSU down 10 spots in the NAIA Coaches’ Poll to No. 19 and marked the first 0-2 conference start for the Hillcat since 2009-10. Oklahoma Baptist, ranked fourth at the time, was next on the schedule for the Hillcats at home with the possibility of the first ever three game losing streak on the line. The showdown with the fourth-ranked Bison was the sixth Top 25 opponent for the Hillcats by January 10th. In his first game in a month, six-foot-eight senior center Brian Gibson came up big for RSU. The Baton Rouge, La. native pulled down a career high 12 rebounds on his birthday while helping limit the Bison to 57

cost as RSU lost guard Kendrell Thompson to injury for the remainder of the season. The losses to JBU and MACU dropped the Hillcats out of the poll and Lubbock Christian broke the hearts of Hillcat fans on Valentine’s Day as the Chaparrals claimed the 61-57 win. RSU topped put together wins over Wayland Baptist and St. Gregory’s but a last second heave by Oklahoma City closed out the regular season with an 80-77 RSU loss.

Despite moving down one spot in the NAIA rankings to No. 20 the Hillcats gained a road victory over Oklahoma City and a home blowout of St. Gregory’s 93-58. Senior Alex Ewings held the Cavaliers’ Fayzon Richey to just 10 points despite Richey averaging 22.9 points per game at the time.

The Hillcats entered its final Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament as the sixth seed facing three-seed Mid-America Christian. RSU gave the Evangels their exit of the tournament with an 87-83 win. In the semifinals, Oklahoma City downed the Hillcats for the second time in a week’s time 71-65 to close the books on the RSU season.

The No. 18-ranked Hillcats topped Wayland Baptist 69-61 on the road for its third consecutive victory. A loss to Lubbock Christian made the trip back to Claremore from West Texas a little somber as the month of January came to a close and the Hillcat record sat at 16-6, 4-4 in SAC play.

Three Hillcats were named to the 2012-13 All-Sooner Athletic Conference team as Donald Williams earned second team honors. Kendrell Thompson and Ken Holdman were named allconference third team for RSU.

February began with a trip to Shawnee, Okla. and Noble Complex for the No. 20-ranked RSU Hillcats with No. 9-ranked Oklahoma Baptist staring down the Cats. RSU responded with a 59-55 victory marking the first win inside Noble Complex for the Hillcats in program history and the series sweep for RSU.

Williams became the sixth Hillcat in men’s program history to be named to the NAIA All-American list as he earned honorable mention recognition.

RSU was unable to build off the momentum of the win against OBU as No. 6-ranked John Brown downed the Hillcats at home followed by a loss at No. 25-ranked Mid-America Christian giving the Evangels its first ever sweep of RSU. The Cats avoided the first ever three game losing streak in program history with a home victory over USAO. The downing of the Drovers came with a

NAIA Honorable Mention All-Americans Logan Froese and Sierra Cornwell saw their careers as Hillcats come to a close along with four other seniors that made significant contributions to RSU in their careers.

Leatherbury started 33 of the 34 games she appeared in as junior college transfer for the Hillcats in 2012-13. The six-foot forward averaged 4.7 points per game but was second on the team in rebound average pulling in 4.9 per game a season ago. “Our system definitely is a two post system and we really work hard to keep post players involved,” Long said. “Basketball has moved really guard oriented and I think it’s an advantage to keep some post play in the mix.”

The 2013-14 season for the Hillcat women will be one of building new tradition. A new conference welcomes RSU as it joins the Heartland Conference and continues the transition to NCAA Division II membership. The Hillcats return five players from last year’s NAIA National Tournament team while adding eight newcomers to the roster this season.

Along with Leatherbury, the Hillcats will look at Cannon to see an increased workload after averaging just over 15 minutes of action last year. The senior forward saw the court in 32 contests as a junior averaging seven points and 4.9 rebounds per game. She reached the free throw line a team-high 109 times, shooting 67 percent.

Head Coach Roxanne Long discussed the transition, the new conference and the new faces on the Hill, “It’s almost overwhelming to take it all in and it’s hard to separate it. Obviously we have one big hurdle in losing a big senior class. Already that’s a big void to fill and something we have to look at in having a lot of new players and what our system is going to be to fit our new players correctly. Then we have the transition to Division II and we have all new opponents, all different scouts, and all different systems so it really is completely starting fresh. However we somehow in all that freshness and all that newness need to keep the winning tradition that has been built.”

After beginning as a team manager for the Hillcats, Taylor Jeffs enters her senior season in the Hillcat red and blue. The Oologah, Okla. native saw action in all 34 games for RSU as a junior. Jeffs averaged 13.1 minutes per game while shooting 81.5 percent from the charity stripe. She averaged three points and 2.1 rebounds. The 5’11 forward stretched defenses with her 31 percent accuracy from behind the arc and will look to add to her playing time in her final year on the Hill. “Taylor, no question last year, and this year it will be amplified because seniors go a level up. She brings complete stability to the entire team,” explained Long. “She’s such a stable personality and such a good concentrator that somehow she always finds a way in practice, games, even off the court to stabilize the team and make the team comfortable and positive in what is going on.”

#22 Katy Harsen

RETURNERS

Long will look to her returning senior post players Adrianna Leatherbury and Clarissa Cannon to continue that winning tradition built in past seasons.

Jade Hardy and Ally Warren return for their junior season and provide nice leadership for the Hillcats as they enter their third season at RSU. Hardy saw action in 22 games as a reserve point guard last season.

“I hope they can be a big piece of keeping that winning tradition, that feistiness and spark,” the Hillcats’ head coach said. “I think both of them are excited to be seniors. They’ve both shown a lot of good things early and it’s just a matter of seeing if they perform.”

NEWCOMERS

Coach Roxanne Long’s staff had a large task of replacing six seniors that departed following last season. Long and her assistants brought in a total of eight players ranging from a senior midseason transfer to a pair of freshman.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK Day will be looked upon to fill the big shoes of Sierra Cornwell. The two-time Sooner Athletic Conference Defender of the Year, Cornwell manned the “Pirate” position defensively for the Cats. This season Long expects Day to fill that role at times.

“We definitely have a lot of great newcomers because a lot of them come with experience. We have a lot of junior college players coming in that have played at a high level of junior college and done a great job with their production in junior college so that is experience right away,” Long said. “We still have to get them use to our system but they already know how to play and play at a high level.”

Bunch rounds out the trio of junior college transfers at the guard position. A transfer from Connors State that played locally at Tulsa’s Booker T. Washington High School, Bunch averaged 10 points, six assists and four rebounds as a freshman in the JUCO ranks last season.

The addition of Katy Harsen at semester break last year from Northeastern State in Tahlequah, Okla. allowed the senior guard to learn the Hillcats system.

RSU also added depth in the post this offseason with a pair of post players transferring from the junior college ranks. Junior

“She is an outstanding player. We are expecting a lot of things from her on both ends of the court,” Long said of the Coweta, Okla. native. “We are thrilled to have her, she picks up things quickly. So just by having her for half a season last year she is a returner for all purposes probably. She is also a point guard and a scorer so we’ll have the ball in her hands a lot.” Harsen appeared in eight games for the RiverHawks in the fall of 2012 averaging 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and two assists prior to transferring to the Hill. As a sophomore she averaged 4.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists as she appeared in every game for NSU on the way to a 25-5 record. Three junior college transfer guards join the Hillcats with juniors Mikaila Newton and DaNara Day along with sophomore Kami Bunch ready to join the backcourt. Newton, a transfer from McCook Community College, averaged 13.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per games as a sophomore for the Lady Indians. An All-Nebraska Community College Athletic Conference selection last year, Newton helped MCC to a conference championship and semifinal finish in the NJCAA regionals. Long spoke of the Omaha, Neb. native, “She is definitely a pure shooter, great catch and shoot. She really has a nice crisp pass and she can see passing angles really well. So she is a tough matchup for other teams because as a pure shooter they’re going to have to be all over her but then as a pure passer she’ll be able to pick one or the other and no matter what find some way for herself or someone else to score.” A transfer from Allen County College, Day averaged 14.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and two assists as sophomore last season. She was named All-Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division second team as she shot 72.5 percent from the free throw line last year. “She scores more on the breakdown off the dribble and elevate. She plays a whole lot taller than her 5’3 frame, she plays more like 5’7 because of her vertical and quickness off the floor,” the Hillcats head coach said of Day. “She really has a scorer’s mentality with a great breakdown off the dribble.”

u Jade Hardy returns for her junior season with the Hillcats.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK

u Five players return from last season’s NAIA National Tournament including Jade Hardy (second to the left), Taylor Jeffs and Adrianna Leatherbury.

Breanna Burford and sophomore Jackie Bueno will give the Hillcats added numbers at the forward position.

seven guard, Roberts averaged nearly 10 points and four rebounds as a senior at Colleyville Heritage High School. She drew 24 charges last season including seven in one game.

Coach Long described Burford’s play, “She’s more of a four that prefers to face the basket. Hopefully we can play around with that matchup so that opponents have trouble knowing whether they need to put a guard on her or a post player. She has really nice touch around the basket, especially if she’s facing about 15 feet in.”

SCHEDULE

The Hillcats non-conference slate is limited with just six contests including the season opener on Homecoming versus Ecclesia College on Nov. 9. RSU then hits the road for a pair of nonconference showdowns with Southern Arkansas and East Central (Okla.) before the Heartland Conference slate opens up on the road Nov. 21 at McMurry (Texas).

Burford joins the Hillcats from Jacksonville College where she averaged 10.6 points and 8.1 rebounds as a freshman in 201112. Bueno comes to the Hill from Barton Community College where she totaled 18 blocks for the Cougars in 27 games played while averaging just 11 minutes of action.

“Twenty of our 26 games are conference games. I think it’s a tough schedule and we have tough opponents,” Long said in regards to the 2013-14 schedule. “That’s a lot less room to get ready for conference games and a lot less room to experiment. We better be ready to go with conference starting in less than a month from the beginning of the season.”

“She can play the five or four. A great worker that does a great job of hitting short jump shots,” said Long of the six foot forward from Corpus Christi, Texas. “She’ll be real good in our two post system. She’s a really good high, low passer and understands how important it is to be a passer.”

RSU’s home conference schedule comes on Dec. 2 for a threegame home stand that includes Newman University, Texas Permian-Basin, and Lubbock Christian.

The Hillcats list of newcomers includes two freshmen eager to begin their collegiate careers. Stacia Payne joins the Hillcats from just down Route 66 after an impressive four-year prep career at Verdigris (Okla.) High School. The former Cardinal has drawn praise from her head coach in preseason, “Doing an incredible job. Lightning speed, great fast hands and we’re hoping she can play that pirate spot. She has a good handle of the game and what we want to see on the offensive end.” As a senior for the Cardinals she averaged 13.7 points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals, and 1.2 blocks per game helping Verdigris to its fourth straight 20-plus win season.

Road trips to Southern Nazarene and Oklahoma Wesleyan follow on Dec. 14th and 17th with trips to Texas A&M International and St. Mary’s leading into the winter break. The final non-conference game comes on Dec. 31 just prior to the close of the 2013 calendar year as a familiar foe in Mid-America Christian comes to the Claremore Expo. Heartland Conference preseason favorite St. Mary’s comes to the Claremore Expo on Feb. 6. The final home game falls on Feb. 20 as Oklahoma Panhandle State makes its first appearance in the Expo and the season will come to a close on Feb. 27 with a short trip to face UA Fort Smith on the road.

The other Hillcat freshman comes from south of the Red River as Heather Roberts joins RSU from Colleyville, Texas. A five-foot46

2012-2013 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW On July 2, 2012 the Rogers State women’s basketball program began a new era as Roxanne Long took the reins of the program following Amy Williams’ departure to the University of South Dakota.

Long’s squad would respond to the loss with victories over UA-Fort Smith and Hillsdale Freewill Baptist College, coached by former Hillcat Hannah Owen, before falling to NCAA Division II Northwest Missouri State at home.

Long took over a Hillcat program coming off back-to-back NAIA National Tournament appearances, including a quarterfinals finish a season prior, and entering its final season as a member of the NAIA.

Road victories over Peru State and Northwestern Oklahoma State followed for RSU as did a home win versus Ecclesia College. The No. 14-ranked Hillcats would then play host to NAIA No. 5-ranked Westminster College (Utah) and No. 11ranked MidAmerica Nazarene with Winter Break sandwiched in-between the two contests. The Top 15 matchups would not go in favor of the Cats as Westminster won 68-65 and MNU claimed a 98-74 victory before the calendar flipped to 2013.

The new head coach had spent the previous four seasons at Texas Lutheran University reviving a Bulldog program that had went 1-49 in the two years prior to her appointment. In her four years as head coach of TLU Long compiled a 3456 record. At RSU her first season was full of high expectations with a senior laden squad returning with eyes on another deep run in the NAIA National Tournament. Despite not reaching the Quarterfinals the Hillcats did not disappoint. RSU went 2410 in Long’s first season at the helm before falling to eventual NAIA National Champions Westmont (Calif.) in the second round of the National Tournament in Frankfort, Ky. A slow start stymied a Hillcat victory as No. 4-ranked Westmont built its largest lead to 18 points in the second half before RSU blitzed the Warriors with a 10-0 run cutting the deficit to just four points in the final three minutes of action. The Warriors were strong from the charity stripe late and claimed the 77-70 victory ending the No. 15-ranked Hillcats season. RSU bounced No. 20-ranked Our Lady of the Lake with a ten point victory in the opening round of the National Tournament as senior guard Leah Smith led the Hillcats with 14 points for the 79-69 win. Six Hillcats scored in double figures in the first round contest while RSU held the NAIA highest scoring offense, averaging 85.5 points per game, to just 69 points. After a pair of exhibition losses to Conference USA tournament champion University of Tulsa and Southeastern Conference member University of Arkansas the Hillcats began the 2012-13 campaign strong. A five game winning streak opened the season including a victory over No. 14-ranked Langston for the eighth-ranked Hillcats. RSU would head into Thanksgiving weekend 5-0 but a loss to McKendree University put the brakes on the ‘12-13 Cats attempt for the best start in program history. The 5-0 start matched the same record the 2009-10 tallied in the start of its season.

u Sierra Cornwell nabbed 131 steals earning her Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors in the Sooner Athletic Conference.

2012-2013 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW

u Six seniors rounded out their careers at Rogers State in 2013, helping the Hillcats to their third-straight NAIA National Tournament appearance.

A number of Hillcats would earn accolades following the season led by seniors Sierra Cornwell and Logan Froese. Cornwell was named Co-Defensive Player of the Year in the SAC and was the only Hillcat named First Team AllConference. The Preston, Okla. native along with Froese were named Honorable Mention NAIA All-Americans. Froese earned Second Team All-Conference and SAC AllTournament honors.

The New Year gave the Hillcats new life following a pair of losses to close out 2012 as RSU went 4-0 to open 2013. The victories didn’t come easy however as RSU outscored the four Sooner Athletic Conference opponents by a combined average of just under five points over the four game span. The four game winning streak opened with a heroic three-pointer by Ariani Silva from the left corner to down the USAO Drovers with 1.8 seconds remaining for a 66-64 victory. The winning streak was snapped on the road at Oklahoma City University as the Stars shined in an 87-39 victory over RSU.

Senior guard Leah Smith was named Third Team AllConference while fellow seniors Kelby Fritz and Ariani Silva were named Honorable Mention. Taylor Jeffs was named to the All-Sooner Athletic Conference Academic Team as a junior.

RSU put together wins over St. Gregory’s and Wayland Baptist before suffering a road loss to Lubbock Christian. The Hillcats then matched the season opening five game winning streaking with wins at Oklahoma Baptist, versus John Brown, at Mid-America Christian, and at home versus USAO and No. 3-ranked Lubbock Christian. The five game winning streak included double-digit victories over four of the five teams including a 24 point drubbing of the Drovers. The victory over the third-ranked Lady Chaps, 78-70, on Valentine’s Day was the final home victory for the Hillcats as RSU would fall to Wayland Baptist a day later before losing to second-ranked Oklahoma City on Senior Night. RSU added a road victory versus St. Gregory’s in the middle of the losses to WBU and OCU to close out the regular season. The final Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament for the Hillcats opened with a 73-56 victory in the SAC Quarterfinals on the campus of Oklahoma Baptist in Shawnee, Okla. In the semifinals Lubbock Christian avenged the loss to the Hillcats in Claremore with a 77-67 victory to close out RSU’s run in the conference tournament.

Froese closed out her four-year career with 1,188 career points to rank first in program history. She finished atop the school record book in eight individual statistical categories.

ABOUT THE HEARTLAND CONFERENCE The Heartland Conference is an NCAA Division II conference, founded in 1999, that currently consists of 10 schools, six from Texas, two from Oklahoma, and one each from Arkansas and Kansas. The schools comprising the Heartland Conference stretch from as far north as Wichita, Kan., as far east as Fort Smith, Ark., as far south as Laredo, Texas, and as far west as Goodwell, Oklahoma. The Conference stretches over a distance of 1,050 miles north to south and 610 east to west. The schools that are in the Heartland Conference include founding members St. Edward's University (Austin, Texas), and St. Mary’s University (San Antonio, Texas), and expansion members Dallas Baptist University (Dallas, Texas) in 2002 and again in 2004, Oklahoma Panhandle State University (Goodwell, Oklahoma) in 2002, and Newman University (Wichita, Kansas), Texas A&M International University (Laredo, Texas) and The University of Texas of the Permian Basin (Odessa, Texas) in 2006, the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith (2009), McMurry University and Oklahoma Christian University in 2012, and Rogers State and Lubbock Christian in 2013. Among the many accomplishments of these institutions are national championships in baseball, golf, swimming, basketball, softball, and nationally ranked teams in all sports. The strength of the student-athlete concept is well supported by the many NCAA scholar-athletes in each school, the high cumulative GPA of the student-athletes in each school, and the high number of student-athletes who graduate from each institution in the Heartland. The Heartland Conference is the newest of the NCAA Division II conferences. At the present time, there are 24 conferences in NCAA Division II, totaling almost 300 institutions in full or provisional status across the nation. Members of NCAA Division II believe that a well-conducted intercollegiate athletics program, based on sound educational principles and practices, is a proper part of the educational mission of a university or college and that the educational welfare of the participating student-athlete is of primary concern.

ABOUTâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;DIVISIONâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;II Members of NCAA Division II support the following principles in the belief that these objectives assist in defining the division and the possible differences between it and other divisions of the Association. This statement shall serve as a guide for the preparation of legislation by the division and for planning and implementation of programs by institutions and conferences. A member of Division II: u Believes in promoting the academic success of its student-athletes, measured in part by an institution's student-athletes graduating at least at the same rate as the institution's student body; u Believes that participation in intercollegiate athletics benefits the educational experience of its student-athletes and the entire campus community; u Believes in offering opportunities for intercollegiate athletics participation consistent with the institution's mission and philosophy; u Believes in preparing student-athletes to be good citizens, leaders and contributors in their communities; u Believes in striving for equitable participation and competitive excellence, encouraging sportsmanship and ethical conduct, enhancing diversity and developing positive societal attitudes in all of its athletics endeavors; u Believes in scheduling the majority of its athletics competition with other members of Division II, insofar as regional qualification, geographical location and traditional or conference scheduling patterns permit; u Recognizes the need to "balance" the role of the athletics program to serve both the campus (participants, student body, faculty-staff) and the general public (community, area, state); u Believes in offering opportunity for participation in intercollegiate athletics by awarding athletically related financial aid to its student-athletes; u Believes that institutional control is a fundamental principle that supports the educational mission of a Division II institution and assumes presidential involvement and commitment. All funds supporting athletics should be controlled by the institution. The emphasis for an athletics department should be to operate within an institutionally approved budget, and compliance with and self-enforcement of NCAA regulations is an expectation of membership; and u Believes that all members of Division II should commit themselves to this philosophy and to the regulations and programs of Division II.

RSU HILLCAT SPORTS INFORMATION SERVICES The “Hillcat” was developed and officially unveiled to the campus in 2005 by RSUPR – the university’s Office of Public Relations – with the assistance of SME Branding of New York, N.Y.

Interviews

All interviews should be setup through the sports information office. RSU head coaches are available throughout the week, mainly in the morning. Student-athletes are also available for interviews, typically right before or after practice. Most Hillcat teams practice between 3:00 p.m and 5:00 p.m. during the week. Credentials Request for credentials to athletic events should be made at least 48 hours in advance of the event and directed to the sports information office. Spouses, dates, children and non-working media will not be given a pass or assigned a seat on press row. RSU does not provide parking passes to the media.

Style Guidelines u When making a proper name ending in s possessive, DO NOT add an s: i.e. Coach Blevins’, NOT Coach Blevins’s. u In athletic media communications and publications, DO NOT use the term Lady Hillcats or Lady Cats. Hillcats, Cats, Softball Cats, Diamond Cats (baseball), etc. are acceptable. u Refer to the institution as Rogers State on first mention in news releases or other communications about sports events. The words university or college are understood in such releases, and are a commonly accepted practice within athletics.

Gameday Services

RSU’s sports information office produces media guides for men’s and women’s soccer and game notes for men’s and women’s soccer games, which include rosters, schedules and statistical leaders. Opponents are asked to supply RSU -- either via fax, email or with a link to availability on the web -- with detailed rosters, up-to-date statistics and season scores, for use in our game day notes no later than a day before the event. Visiting media seating is available in the press box at Soldier Field, RSU asks that those requests be made to the Sports Information Department no late than a day in advance. Following a home event, RSU will supply all results to both home and visiting media. RSU always contacts the Claremore Progress, Tulsa World, Daily Oklahoman, and local TV and sports/news radio stations with scores and statistics (where applicable).

What Is A Hillcat?

Steve Braun, Sports Information Director sbraun@rsu.edu | 918-343-8350

The university’s official mascot, the “Hillcat,” is a unique blue and red animal that serves as a source of campus pride and provides a visual identity for the university’s Athletic, Student Activities, and other school spirit programs. The Hillcat embodies the enthusiastic, determined and bold spirit of the university’s athletic programs and the pride our students and alumni feel for the institution.

BASKETBALL COACHES

The “Hillcat” is a fictitious cousin of the bobcat, which is indigenous to northeast Oklahoma. The “Hillcat” also draws its name from “College Hill,” a traditional nickname for RSU. The university sits atop a hill overlooking the city of Claremore. The name “Hillcat” was conceived independently by a group of RSU students in spring 2005, and approved by the University Mascot Committee, Student Government Association, President, and Administration.

RSU HILLCAT COMPLIANCE What are Boosters permitted to do?

Booster Education for RSU Alumni, Friends & Fans

u Notify coaches about prospects in your area

Rogers State University is responsible for the actions of its coaches, student-athletes and staff, as well as its alumni, boosters and fans. The following information is intended to help educate athletic boosters and organizations, so they can best support RSU athletes without putting the institution or the individual studentathletes at risk. If you have any questions or would like to seek clarification regarding your actions as a supporter of Hillcat athletics, please call the athletic compliance office at 918-343-7988 or email RSU's NCAA Compliance Coordinator, Eddie Jackson at ejackson@rsu.edu.

What is a booster?

A booster may not provide a student-athlete any benefit or special arrangement that would not be offered to the rest of the general student population. This would include:

You are a Booster or Representative of Athletic Interests, if you: u Have participated in, or ever have been, a member of a booster organization that supports RSU athletics;

u May not entertain student-athletes or their friends or family;

u Have made any financial contribution to the RSU athletic department or any athletic organization of the University;

NOTE: Employment may be arranged for a prospect provided the employment does not begin before the completion of the prospect's senior year of high school.
