LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT We welcome you to another exciting season of Hillcat basketball as we start our second season competing as a member of the Heartland Conference in NCAA Division II. It’s thrilling to watch our student-athletes and athletic programs perform at the highest level. 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 RSU as the Tulsa metropolitan area’s only public, residential four-year university, providing students with personalized academic attention that’s become the RSU’s hallmark; • Expanding the residential life experience with the construction of a new $11 million campus housing facility (University Village C) that will house residents starting in fall 2015 and this fall’s opening of the new $5 million Chapman Dining Hall that provides the first comprehensive dining facility on campus in decades, while also containing a storm shelter for campus residents during inclement weather; • Introducing new academic programs that meet the needs of Oklahoma’s business and industry, including our first graduate program – an MBA degree program that started this fall; • 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. As the state’s newest four-year university, RSU has quickly matured into a leading regional university recognized for the value it provides to students and service it provides to the community. Our 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. We have enjoyed our affiliation with the Heartland Conference as we continue along our path to becoming full members of the NCAA Division II. We appreciated the high priority both the NCAA and the Heartland Conference place 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 court. Go Hillcats!

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Greetings from the Hill and welcome to the eighth edition of Hillcat basketball. The RSU Athletic Department is set for the 2014-2015 school year as we embark upon RSU's second season in the Heartland Conference and continue the NCAA Division II membership process. The Hillcat Men's 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. In 2014, the women's basketball program starts a new chapter as Head Coach Bobby Cope takes the helm, as the third head coach in program history. Justin Barkley will start his fifth season as the head coach of the men’s program, looking for his fifth consecutive winning season in 2015. 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's 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 the accomplishments of our Men's and Women's basketball teams 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 2014-2015. Thank you for all you do to support the Hillcats!

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. 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. 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.

ABOUT RSU 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.

edge 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. RSU opened a new student apartment community in September 2011 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. Chapman Dining Hall opened 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.

Growth in Learning Facilities

A Brief History of RSU

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.

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. 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. 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

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 leading-

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.

HILLCAT LIFE PROGRAMS

u More than 150 student-athletes have graduated over the last seven years.

Academic Development

The Hillcat Academic Center is located in the basement of Bushyhead Fieldhouse. There, student-athletes have access to a full computer lab with a printer and a classroom that can be utilized for study hall as well as individual study. Academic advising for all student-athletes is available through the office of the Assistant Athletic Director for Student Development. Counseling for choosing a major and advising for course enrollment are provided, as well as help in obtaining a faculty advisor for those that have chosen a major. Tutors are available for most subjects by athletic department academic tutors in one-on-one or group sessions. Additional tutoring is available through individual academic departments. Hillcat Athletics requires weekly study hall for all freshman and first semester transfer students to attend. Weekly study hall time thereafter is required as determined by cumulative GPA.

NCAA Compliance Training

Hillcat student-athletes are educated about NCAA rules and regulations, including the NCAA regulations of practice and play seasons, outside competition and tryouts, commercial endorsements, boosters, student host recruiting and progress towards a degree.

Hillcat LIFE Programs

The Hillcat LIFE programs are designed to promote student-athletes’ success off the field or court. 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. The Habitudes curriculum uses powerful images to teach important character and leadership principles in an epic fashion that is both engaging and memorable. As a result, the athletes are equipped and empowered to develop healthy life skills that will positively impact their lives.

HILLCAT LIFE PROGRAMS

u Athletics has become an integral part of the campus community, with student-athletes serving as leaders on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.

Social Media Training Rogers State educates and prepares student-athletes to make a positive impact through social media. RSU helps studentathletes understand the risk involved with using social media poorly, both currently and in the future. Through social media training, athletes are educated of the opportunities of social media in developing themselves for the workplace. Student-athletes learn the impact current social media interaction can have on their job search. Drug and Alcohol Counseling Student-athletes are made aware of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. They are given examples of athletes with promising futures who failed to reach their potential due to drug/alcohol abuse. Dangers of Gambling Student-athletes are warned about the dangers of gambling addictions and also are warned against gambling on any athletic event, which is a violation of NCAA rules. Community Engagement Rogers State athletic teams develop relationships with charities and community organizations throughout Claremore and surrounding communities to build relationships with community members. Organizations Hillcat teams have worked with include: TOPSoccer, Safenet, Rogers County Youth Services, Claremore Sequoyah Elementary, First Baptist Church Recovery Program, Claremore’s Westside Elementary, Catoosa Special Olympics, the Claremore Community Center’s Blast program, Operation Christmas Child, Claremore Nursing Home and Inola Elementary. Hillcat teams also took part in Rogers State University Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service events serving at a Habitat for Humanity site clearing debris and at the Claremore Veterans Center playing Bingo. In the fall 2012 semester, Hillcat athletic teams combined to work more than 900 hours with community organizations.

#14 KAMI BUNCH

BOBBY COPE - HEAD WOMEN’S COACH Rogers State University Director of Athletics Ryan Erwin announced the hiring of Bobby Cope as the new head women’s basketball coach in March 2014.

the first time. Over the next two years RSU tallied a 45-22 record including back-to-back NAIA National Tournament appearances. Cope was retained on Roxanne Long’s staff in 2012-13 and helped RSU return to the NAIA National Tournament for the third consecutive year. The Hillcats boasted its best Sooner Athletic Conference winning percentage in program history with a 12-4 record.

Cope, who has served as the assistant women’s basketball coach at RSU for the past five seasons, becomes the third head coach in the program’s eight-year history. He replaces Roxanne Long who stepped down to pursue endeavors outside athletics and complete a Ph.D.

Cope had seven years of coaching experience at the high school and collegiate level prior to RSU. He spent two years as a graduate assistant coach at Northern State University in Aberdeen, S.D. Cope also worked as an assistant at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, S.D., from 2003 to 2005 and coached both football and basketball at Colstrip High School in Colstrip, Mont., from 2005 to 2007.

In his five seasons as a member of the Hillcat coaching staff, RSU has compiled a 99-60 record for a 62 percent winning clip. RSU reached the NAIA National Tournament three out of his four seasons on the Hill as NAIA members, including a 2011-12 Quarterfinal run.

As the top assistant for the women’s basketball program, Cope developed and oversaw the Hillcats’ strength and conditioning workouts and worked primarily with the post players in skill development. He served as recruiting and scouting coordinator and handled non-conference scheduling.

Since his arrival, Cope has coached six Sooner Athletic Conference all-conference selections at the post position and one in the inaugural season in the Heartland Conference. Cope has also coached two NAIA All-American post players and a NAIA All-Tournament Second Team player in his time at RSU. In his first three seasons on the Hill as a member of Amy Williams’ staff, the Hillcats made their first appearance in the NAIA Top 25 in 2009-10 while reaching the 20-win plateau for

Cope earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Black Hills State and a Masters of Health and Physical Education from Northern State and is married to RSU softball head coach Amy Cope (Renault).

LAUREN MCCULLOCH - WOMEN’S ASSISTANT COACH Lauren McCulloch returns to the coaching ranks joining the Rogers State women's basketball staff as an assistant coach in July 2014. McCulloch served as a graduate assistant coach at Texas Woman's University during the 2011-12 season and spent the last two years working in the business sector. At TWU, McCulloch assisted the coaches on the court in player development sessions and practices, helped prepare scouting reports, aided in all strength and conditioning workouts, and coordinated team travel. McCulloch worked as an assistant coach at Frisco Heritage High School in 2012-13 while finishing her master's degree and helped the Coyotes to their first playoff appearance in program history. She also has extensive experience working with summer basketball camps having spent time as an assistant camp coordinator at West Texas A&M University. A native of Allen, Texas, McCulloch played four seasons at Fort Lewis College, helping the Skyhawks to a 103-25 record (.805 winning percentage) and three Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championships. As a senior captain, she led the team to an appearance in the 2010 NCAA Division II national championship game after reaching the Sweet Sixteen in 2009. McCulloch, a certified physical education teacher, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Exercise Science from Fort Lewis in 2010 and completed a Master of Science degree in Kinesiology at Texas Woman's in 2012.

CANDICE CHANEY - WOMEN’S ASSISTANT COACH Candice Chaney returns to the Rogers State sidelines for her second season as assistant women's basketball coach. Chaney joined the Hillcats prior to the start of the 2013-14 campaign from Texas Lutheran University where she worked as a student assistant basketball coach for four seasons under former RSU Head Women's Basketball Coach Roxanne Long. After graduating in 2012, she continued her role with TLU women's basketball program as an assistant coach. Chaney holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from Texas Lutheran and was a four-year letter winner on the track and field team. During her four years with the track team, the Bulldogs tallied three American Southwest Conference Championships. In her role at RSU she will coordinate travel, serve as an academic advisor, on-the-floor coaching, scouting, and recruiting. Chaney is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Sport Management from Southwestern Oklahoma State.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK "Mikala is going to have to provide some scoring punch for us," Cope stated. "We need her to be able to hit shots, attack off the dribble, and get to the rim and score as well."

After five years as an assistant with the Rogers State women's basketball team, Bobby Cope takes the reins as the third head coach in team history bringing a familiarity of the program to his new position. His transition will be aided by welcoming seven players back to campus.

The only Hillcat to have spent all four years at RSU, Hardy brings that experience to all aspects of the program providing leadership on and off the court. The senior has appeared in 59 games over a three-year span, including 25 a season ago averaging roughly 12 minutes per game.

"First year as a head coach it's definitely easier having been here for the past five seasons, and been at Rogers State under the two previous head coaches in Amy Williams and Roxanne Long," Cope said. "They've brought a lot to this program, and just continue with the tradition at Rogers State and that the Hillcats have had over the past seven years. I'm excited to be able to put my own spin on things."

"Jade is another upperclassmen point guard that's going to push Kami and that's going to play a lot of significant minutes," Cope added. "She's kind of that calming effect that we can have on the court that's just going to get us into our offense and get the ball to where it needs to go every single time." Burford is one of merely two players returning to the front court for RSU as the senior played 25 games in her first season on the Hill, tallying 5.4 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. She showed flashes of her scoring prowess reaching double-figure scoring seven times and posted a season-high 15 points at Southern Nazarene.

Those seven players will have to replace nearly 70 percent of RSU's scoring from a year ago after losing its top three scorers, including two Heartland Conference Honorable Mention AllConference selections in Katy Harsen and Clarissa Cannon. "Katy and Clarissa last year were two big parts offensively, and they just put up stats everywhere that they went. That's going to be a hard part to fill this year, but we are going to do it as a team," Cope added.

"Breanna came off the bench for us a lot last year," Cope said. "She's got an uncanny ability to score from wherever she catches the ball. Her consistency is something we are going to need to increase this year. We are going to need to get the same output from her every night."

RETURNERS

The Hillcats will rely heavily upon Mikaila Newton, Jade Hardy, and Breanna Burford, their three seniors, to provide leadership both on and off the court as the program enters its second season in the Heartland Conference and NCAA Division II candidacy.

Another key position on the floor will be covered by a veteran presence as point guard Kami Bunch returns for her junior campaign. Bunch was brilliant distributing the ball last season setting a single-game record with 14 assists against Newman and dished 125 on the year playing more than 28 minutes per game while adding 5.3 points and 4.3 rebounds a night.

Newton is back on to the Hill as the top returning scorer after appearing in all 26 games as a junior in 201314, earning 23 starts. The Omaha, Nebraska native scored 8.2 points per game while reaching double figures seven times, including a season-high 23 points against St. Edward's while adding a seasonbest 10 rebounds for her first double-double.

"Kami has to play well for us this year. She started every game at the point for us last year. We are going to need her to play well this year and run the court," Cope exclaimed.

#5 MIKAILA NEWTON 14

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK Jones, another Tulsa, Oklahoma native, returns closer to home joining the Hillcats following two seasons with the Buccaneers where she helped the team to a quarterfinal appearance at the NJCAA National Championships. She saw action in 52 games while starting 26 at Blinn averaging 6.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game as a sophomore.

Jackie Bueno will join Burford in the paint for her second season at RSU. The junior made 25 appearances as a sophomore playing more than 11 minutes per contest in her debut season on the Hill. "Jackie also played significant minutes for us last year. She is a bruiser, a great screener, a great rebounder, and defender. She continues to grow as an offensive threat for us."

"Amari had two very successful seasons at a very, very good JUCO program down in Texas at Blinn College. She is going to provide a lot of help inside as well, defensively and offensively," Cope said.

Two more Hillcats enter the mix in the back court as sophomore Stacia Payne and redshirt freshman Heather Roberts return to the program looking to make an impact.

A second-team all-region selection a season ago at DMACC, Felici started all 32 games for the Bears in 2013-14 scoring 11.2 points per game, including a season-best 23. In her first collegiate season, she earned third-team all-region accolades and was an academic all-region honoree both years.

Payne saw the hardwood in all 26 games making her first career start against East Central, averaging 15.2 minutes per game while Roberts suffered an early-season injury and took a redshirt in her first year as a Hillcat in 2013-14.

"Jalissa is already coming in with over 100 career made three's at the college level so definitely looking for her to knock down some shots and be a threat to score from the outside and just be solid all around," Cope added.

"Stacia is wiry; she is athletic and gets after it on the defensive end. She is going to continue to grow and continue to get better as we progress into this year. Heather is a solid role player. She can knock down a shot if you leave her open and continues to grow and expand her game both offensively and defensively."

Taylor Koelsch joins the Hillcats after spending one year at St. Gregory's where she averaged double-figure scoring at 10.3 points per game. A former Owasso High School standout, she recorded four double-doubles while starting 26 of 28 games with the Cavaliers last season.

NEWCOMERS

As the Rogers State women’s basketball program starts a new chapter under a first-year head coach, it will do so with six fresh faces added to the mix.

"Taylor had a very solid freshman year in the Sooner Athletic Conference," Cope said. "We hope that progresses over into the Heartland Conference as well and she is able to produce for us. She will play a bit inside and out, knock down some three's, and possibly post up smaller players when she gets the opportunity."

"There is a lot of new to the program," Cope said. "There is still a lot of learning to do and a lot of changes to be made. We are still building our program and we are still building the tradition of Hillcat basketball. We are excited about our incoming players for this year. We've got four transfer players coming from NCAA Division I, four-year schools, and junior colleges as well as two freshmen."

RSU also adds two players jumping to the collegiate scene straight from high school as Madison Dearmin and Kelsy Byrd remain in the state of Oklahoma coming from Balko and Ketchum, respectively.

The Hillcats welcome a local name back to the area as former Daniel Webster High School standout Jordan Evans transfers to RSU for her junior season after playing 42 games over two seasons at UMKC. Evans was named Most Improved Player for the Kangaroos in 2013-14 after averaging four points and five rebounds per game while leading the team in blocked shots.

Dearmin had a four-year career at Balko High School helping the Lady Bison to four district championships and two regional titles. As a senior, she was named OGBCA All-State, an OCA All-Star, and class valedictorian.

"Jordan, played locally in Tulsa, and then went on to play at UMKC for the last two years. She is transferring in as a 6-2 post. She is going to definitely give us some height and defensive stopping ability on the inside," Cope added.

Byrd had similar success for the Lady Warriors of Ketchum High School winning four district titles as a four-year letter winner. She earned all-state honors a year ago reaching the Oklahoma Class 2A state quarterfinals and averaged double-figure scoring all four years.

Two more players come to the Hill with collegiate experience from the junior college ranks as Amari Jones and Jalissa Felici transfer in from Blinn College and Des Moines Area Community College, respectively.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK

Conference as a relative newcomer to the 10-team league. The 18-game conference docket gets underway Dec. 18 when the Hillcats travel to UA Fort Smith for the final game before a twoweek winter break.

"Madison is just blue-collar through and through. She is going to work hard and not afraid to step out and shoot. She also is not afraid to bang on the inside and go up against bigger and stronger players," Cope stated. "Kelsy, a lefty; you give her an open three in the corner and she is going to knock it down. She is continuing to learn and adjust to the speed and strength of the college game. We look for good things out of Kelsy and Madison both."

"We definitely learned a lot last year coming into the Heartland Conference," Cope added. "Our conference schedule is basically what we did last year. We are going to play everybody home and away. The Heartland Conference is a bunch of really good programs that are very well coached and programs that have been on the rise the last couple of years."

SCHEDULE

Coach Cope and the Hillcats face a demanding 26-game schedule squaring off against several regional rivals. RSU will play 14 of its contests in front of a home crowd at the Claremore Expo Center where it has a .663 winning percentage during its seven-year history.

With a new head coach taking over and more than half the roster new to Rogers State, the program gets a chance to shape its future. "Luckily, this year we are all going in the same direction at the same time. We are kind of building this as we go. That makes it easier because I have to ask the returners and the new kids, everybody together, to try to buy into what I want to get out of this program. Hopefully, we can put some w's up on the board as well as develop a team and a program that is going to get the job done in the classroom, and also be good students and kids as they leave this program," Cope concluded.

"We have one of the tougher non-conference schedules that we've had here at Rogers State," Cope said. "We've filled it with a lot of solid NCAA Division II teams. We'll go and play at Texas A&M-Commerce, we'll play up at Northwest Missouri, for two very challenging road games. Then we do have a share of Division II home games for this year, luckily. We've got Northeastern State coming in. A lot of people in the area are really looking forward to that game. It's a potential rivalry being an hour apart. We go up head-to-head in a lot of recruiting battles, so it'll be good to get out there and test ourselves against a really good top twenty-five Division II team."

The Hillcats begin the 2014-15 campaign at home Nov. 15 as East Central makes the trip to the Claremore Expo Center. The tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. and can be viewed live on the Hillcat Network, along with all home contests, at www.rsuhillcats.com/live.

The eight non-conference games will give RSU a chance to get ready for the challenges of its second year in the Heartland

2013-2014 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW The 2013-14 Rogers State women's basketball season ushered in a new era for the Hillcats as they began play in the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference under secondyear Head Coach Roxanne Long.

Harsen and Cannon closed their Hillcat careers earning 2013-14 All-Heartland Conference Women's Basketball Honorable Mention accolades as voted by the league's head coaches.

For just the second time in program history and first since its inaugural season, RSU finished the season with a losing record posting a 9-17 mark, including a 6-14 record in conference play placing eighth in the 11-team league. The Hillcats continued the program trend of winning at home going 7-5 at the Claremore Expo Center improving to 69-35 all-time in home contests. The disappointment for RSU came away from home as it won just two games on the road in 14 attempts.

Along with the season scoring record, Harsen set another RSU single-season record for scoring average recording 17.8 points per game finishing third in the conference scoring race. The Coweta, Okla., native started all 26 games in her only season on the Hill and holds the second spot on the single-game scoring list after netting 33 points at Oklahoma Panhandle State. Cannon moved up to eighth on the Hillcats all-time scoring leaderboard recording 597 points after posting 14.4 points per game in 26 starts in 2013-14. The two-year starter finished her career ranked fourth in total rebounds with 381 after grabbing an average of 8.6 as a senior. Cannon set a single-season school record hitting 154 free throws on the season moving into second all-time.

The Hillcats began the season in dominating fashion with a 90-52 victory over Ecclesia behind Clarissa Cannon's 16point, 14-rebound double-double in front of a Hillcat Homecoming crowd. Mikaila Newton came off the bench and led the team with 19 points in her debut on the Hill. RSU then hit the road for a four-game stretch where it struggled to find consistent offense losing all four and dropping seven of its next eight. The only win came at home against Texas-Permian Basin as the Hillcats had four players reach double-figure scoring marking the first Heartland Conference victory for the program.

DaNara Day rounded out the double-digit scorers for the Hillcats averaging 11.6 per game in 23 appearances and two starts. She broke the RSU single-game scoring record with a 36-point performance against Oklahoma Wesleyan and closed the season with 32 points at UA Fort Smith. After serving as assistant coach for five years, Bobby Cope will take the reins of the program heading into the 2014-15 season after being named head coach in March. Cope becomes the third head coach in RSU's eight-year history as the Hillcats aim to rebound from a tough 2013-14 campaign.

Early in the New Year, the Hillcats looked to get their season back on track picking up three wins during a four-game span. It started with a rare road win at Oklahoma Panhandle State and after a home loss to UA Fort Smith, RSU got back-to-back home victories over St. Edward's and McMurry in conference play. An 82-76 win against St. Mary's made it three straight inside their home building for the Hillcats and they nearly added a big-time upset two days later over eventual conference regular season champion Texas A&M International but fell in double overtime. On Senior Night against Oklahoma Panhandle State, RSU led wire-to-wire for a 24-point victory over the Aggies in the final home game for four seniors; Harsen, Cannon, Taylor Jeffs, and Adrianna Leatherbury. The 2013-14 season came to an end Feb. 27 at UA Fort Smith and despite a record-breaking night and 19 points from Harsen, RSU could not pull off the comeback falling, 75-71. Harsen set the Hillcats single-season scoring record in the loss ending with 463 points moving past Cortney Crockett's 2010-11 total of 454 points.

u Taylor Jeffs and the Hillcats tallied seven home wins last season.

JUSTIN BARKLEY - HEAD MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH an assistant where they claimed the school's first Sooner Athletic Conference regular season championship, reached the NAIA National Tournament and achieved a No. 1 national ranking in 2008-09. RSU notched its third-straight, 20-win season and reached the finals of the SAC Tournament for the second-straight year in 2009-10.

Justin Barkley enters his fifth season as the head men's basketball coach at Rogers State University after being named to the position in April 2010. In his four seasons guiding the program, Barkley has led the Cats to at least 16 wins each season, including reaching the 20-win plateau his first three years. RSU finished the 2013-14 season, its first as a member of the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference, with a 16-10 mark going 11-7 in conference play. The Hillcats won nine of 11 games from middle November through early January, including a seasonlong, five-game winning streak during that stretch.

Barkley began his coaching career as a graduate assistant under Head Coach Larry Gipson at Northeastern State University following a storied playing career. He later spent two seasons as an assistant at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, where he helped the Golden Norsemen to a 27-9 record and their first national tournament appearance in 16 years. Barkley left NEO to return home to the community where his father, Clyde, made the family name synonymous with basketball as the dean of Rogers County hoops for the past three decades. As a player, Barkley led Inola High School to a state championship under the direction of his father in 1998. He continued his playing career at NSU, where he spurred the Redmen to a Division II National Championship in 2003.

During his first season, Barkley guided RSU through a memorable second half, as the team won 17 of the final 23 games of the regular season, allowing the Hillcats to streak to the NAIA Quarterfinals finishing with a record of 22-12. He led the team to the 2012 NAIA Quarterfinals for the second consecutive season as RSU tallied a 24-9 record. In 2013, RSU tallied its sixth-straight 20-win season with a 2112 overall record. Barkley, who served as the Hillcats' assistant coach from 2008-2010, is the third head coach in the brief history of the program. He helped guide the Hillcats to a 52-13 record as

He is married to the former Emily Warren, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Education and a master’s degree in Health and Kinesiology.

u Head Coach Justin Barkley enters his fifth season at the helm of the RSU men’s basketball program with 83 career wins.

VINAY PATEL - MEN’S ASSISTANT COACH Vinay Patel joined the Rogers State men's basketball staff as an assistant coach in April 2014 after serving as the Interim Head Coach at West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas since December 2013. Patel spent the previous nine seasons with the Buffs serving the last two years as the associate head coach before taking on the head coaching role following the retirement of 21-year veteran Rick Cooper in December. During his time at West Texas A&M, the program recorded tremendous success reaching the NCAA Division II National Tournament five times. The Buffs advanced to the tournament in 2011, ranked as high as No. 23 in the nation, and again in 2012 posting records of 23-7 and 19-9, respectively. The team also claimed a Lone Star Conference championship and two LSC South Zone titles. Patel began his coaching career at West Texas A&M as a graduate assistant in 2005 before moving to the position of assistant coach of both the men's and women's teams for the next three seasons. He had served as the recruiting coordinator for the Buffs since 2010 bringing aboard 14 eventual first, second, or honorable mention all-conference team selections. Those honorees also included one conference newcomer of the year, one freshman of the year, and two all-region performers. A native of Shamrock, Texas, Patel graduated from Texas Tech in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise and Sport Science before earning a Master of Science degree in Sports and Exercise Science from West Texas A&M in 2007. Patel also is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

TYLER WAYMAN - MEN’S ASSISTANT COACH Tyler Wayman joined the Rogers State men's basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach in June 2014 after spending two years as a graduate assistant coach at Wayland Baptist University. Wayman was active in the recruiting process for the Pioneers across the country at the junior college and high school levels along with scheduling of non-conference and NCAA Division I contests. He also was responsible for film exchange and breaking down film for use in review and scouting reports. Wayman organized all team travel and meals as well as study hall and the program's personal tutors. Prior to his time in Plainview, Texas, Wayman served as the team manager of the University of Arkansas' men's basketball team for four seasons. He was in charge of the Razorbacks scout team while participating in individual workouts and practice. Wayman also assisted the video coordinator in scouting opposing teams and creating scouting reports. Wayman brings extensive camp experience to the hill having worked summer and skill camps at Wayland Baptist, Arkansas, and the University of Texas. He worked closely with camp directors and oversaw groups of kids in various stations. The Junction City, Arkansas native earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Arkansas in 2011 before adding a Master of Sports Management degree from Wayland Baptist in 2012.

MEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK The 2014-15 edition of Rogers State men's basketball features the return of six players, all with an opportunity to step in and fill vacant roles after the departure of seven players, as it enters its second season as a member of the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference.

"One thing Deran has brought to the table is the fact that he is more of a leader," Barkley added. "He is starting to lead by example, not only with his everyday work habits but verbally as well. A very positive young man, he has come in and just been really good for us and our guys. I'm excited to see what this year holds for him as we have put a lot of eggs in his basket from a leadership standpoint to lead by example on and off the floor and to this point he has been great."

"Looking back on last year and as we transition into this year, there are a lot of good things and bright spots as we are building our program in this transition phase," Head Men's Basketball Coach Justin Barkley said starting his fifth year leading the program. "It was a great season, 16-10, and there were a couple of games that could have gone either way but with a lot of turnover from the year before, we got a lot of valuable time for some young guys last year and hopefully that is something we can build on going forward."

The most tenured player for Coach Barkley this season is J.C. Hartzler as he enters his third year on the Hill as the top returning scorer. The Tulsa, Oklahoma native started 45 games during his first two seasons, including playing a team-high 32.5 minutes per game a year ago while starting all but one contest, averaging 12.2 points per game. "I think a lot of people are going to see a different guy in J.C. Hartzler this year. His freshman year, he started on and off, last year you saw bits and pieces, and we are hoping this year to tie it all together and see an all-league performer. He is another one that we are counting on from a leadership standpoint as he has been here two years, understands our program, our university, the transition, and what we are trying to build here. Not only is he a good basketball player, he is just a great young man and leads our program in the classroom as well," Barkley said.

The Hillcats seek their eighth-consecutive winning season and will have to do so without two Heartland Conference All-Conference selections from last season with the graduation of Damion Hooks (second team) and Robinson Odoch Opong (honorable mention). "We lost two all-conference players in Damion and Robinson," Barkley stated. "If you want to add another name to the mix that we lost, Jerry Dixon played at an extremely high level late in the season. Obviously, we had a lot of guys we need to replace as far as points per game, rebounds, and leadership. We feel like we have some great guys returning that understand what we want day in and day out in our program."

RSU returns four other players that will continue to push for playing time after getting a taste of action last season, with the exception of Jordan Huffman after he took a redshirt in 2013-14. Cory Ayala, Johnathon Buckley, and Jeylyn Sharpe each played their first season in RSU navy and red and according to Coach Barkley, "all four bring something to the table and each one of them does something really well and have specific traits that make our basketball club a little bit better."

RETURNERS

As the lone returning senior on the roster, Deran Banton will be looked upon to increase his role in all facets of the game. He showed last season he is a more than capable scorer after a 34point outburst, the second highest in single-game history for RSU, against Oklahoma Panhandle State in the home finale helping him earn Heartland Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week accolades.

Ayala was an NJCAA national champion point guard at Rend Lake prior to joining the Hillcats before the start of last season and made 24 appearances and 15 starts in his first season on the Hill. The junior averaged 2.8 points and 2.1 rebounds while playing nearly 18 minutes per game.

MEN’S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK "We brought two (NCAA) Division I transfers in DesJuan Newton and Donald Moore," Barkley added. "We feel like both will be very good fits for our program, fit our returning guys, and basically the philosophy we want to play with this year. I'm excited in what they bring to the table from an athleticism stand point."

"Cory started on and off last year and what people don't realize is his attributes of just being a winner is what we really liked when we recruited him," Barkley added. "It was a thing that may not show up in the stat sheet that caught our eye was his leadership qualities." In his first season at the collegiate level, Sharpe earned a spot in the RSU starting lineup 19 times while making an appearance in all 26 contests. The sophomore is the thirdleading scorer back in a Hillcat uniform after totaling 7.2 points per game a year ago. Joining him for his sophomore campaign is Buckley, who came off the bench in 25 games for RSU as a redshirt freshman.

Newton transferred to RSU for his senior campaign from Robert Morris where he made 12 appearances for the Colonials a season ago. Moore will join Newton in the back court making the transition from Eastern Illinois after playing 12 games for the Panthers as a sophomore last year. The Hillcats also added size and strength down low welcoming a pair of six-foot, five-inch forwards to the fold in Frederico Santos and Carlos Perez. Both players enter their final year of eligibility looking to make an impact at RSU.

"Jeylyn I think was a big surprise last year. We didn’t know exactly how fast he was going to catch on but his work ethic has been contagious and he is hungry and we are excited. I could say the exact same thing about Johnathon. Both those guys have taken the next step and there is a lot of confidence in those two young men right now and hopefully something we can build on," Barkley said.

"We also brought in two forwards that got high-level experience and had a lot of success. Frederico was a junior college honorable mention All-American at NEO A&M and Carlos is transferring from Colorado Mesa, a team in our region. Both those guys understand our needs and our expectations and what we are asking from them," Barkley stated.

The Hillcats will need all six returners to increase their production with the loss of 56 percent of their scoring and 45 percent of the rebounding from last season heading into a year where five teams on the schedule reached their regional tournament.

Three more players will have a chance to acclimate to the collegiate game with talented teammates at every position after making the jump from high schools in Northeastern Oklahoma. "I was very excited this spring when we were able to add a few freshmen coming in from some good high schools early in the recruiting class," Barkley said.

NEWCOMERS

Barkley and his assistant coaches Vinay Patel and Tyler Wayman hit the recruiting trail hard bringing in one of Rogers State's strongest classes as seven players join the Hillcats for the 2014-15 season, which is arguably one of the most difficult in school history when looking at the strength of schedule.

Coming to RSU with a mantle full of high school accolades is Matt Lea, the Oklahoma Class 4A Player of the Year last year for Stilwell High School. The 6-8 center led the state in blocked shots as a senior helping the Indians to a runner-up finish at the state tournament.

"I am very excited about some of our newcomers and some of the things we are able to accomplish," Barkley said. "We feel like we really targeted certain needs that we have with this team. We filled some of those needs through recruiting and bringing some guys in that we think will make an immediate impact. I'm excited to see how it all ties in together."

"Matt is probably the first guy we brought in (from high school) with some size and skill that we are counting on immediately," Barkley added. "We have some guys ahead of him that are showing him the ropes. The faster he picks up on things I think the higher ceiling he has."

Rogers State fans will get to know four players right away as they all come to the Hill with collegiate experience under their belts transferring from the NCAA Division I, II, and junior college ranks.

Another Oklahoma Basketball Coaches Association and Oklahoma Coaches Association 6A All-State selection will don the navy and red as Tanner Gregurich joins the Hillcats from Broken Arrow High School.

very best looks like in NCAA DII and we are going to get that opportunity right out of the chute on opening night. We are opening up the season with Metro State University. It will be a very good bench mark for our program to see where we are at. I believe they are a preseason top two or three team in the country. Opening up on their home floor will be a very good challenge. We are going to find out a lot about our ball club."

"We were excited to add him early in the summertime. Tanner is coming from a very good basketball program in Broken Arrow High School. He is just a splendid young man with great qualities and characteristics that you need in your program. He is going to bring something to this basketball team and hopefully his role will expand as the season goes on," Barkley said. Already on the Rogers State campus and having spent a year away from the game, Kyler Ng is back on the hardwood, this time wearing a Hillcats uniform.

The Hillcats will certainly be battle tested in the nonconference portion of the schedule and that will lead the team directly into its second season as a member of the Heartland Conference, where they were predicted to finish fifth in the 11-team league.

"Kyler was actually on our campus a year ago and was someone we recruited and talked to out of high school," Barkley stated. "He is a part of the President's Leadership Class and he brings a dynamic to our team academically. We talked to him a little bit ago and he is starting to pick up on things after sitting out a year. We are excited to see what he can bring to the table as well."

"We have some very challenging games on the road that are going to test us but I think prepare us for the most important thing which is conference play. It is going to expose some areas but build some confidence as well. It is pretty safe to say that right now in the Heartland Conference there is a lot of momentum. We had three teams make it to the region tournament last year. The competition is getting much better in a hurry. UA Fort Smith who won the league the last couple years obviously sets the bar high," Barkley concluded.

SCHEDULE

With seven players joining the six back from last year's squad, there needs to be time for getting the team to mesh, but this group will face a trial-by-fire facing two nationallyranked programs on the road in its opening weekend.

Coach Barkley and his RSU squad open the 2014-15 season at NCAA Division II preseason No. 5 Metro State Nov. 14 as part of the South Central Region Crossover in Denver, Colorado.

"We are excited about the challenges. We have gone out and put a very good schedule together that is going to challenge us," Barkley added. "We wanted to see what the

u The men’s basketball program welcomes seven newcomers to the squad for the 2014-15 season.

2013-2014 MEN’S BASKETBALL SEASON IN REVIEW The 2013-14 Rogers State men's basketball team faced a season of change entering its first campaign as a member of the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference and showed it fit well placing fifth in the 12-team league. Under the direction of Head Coach Justin Barkley, in his fourth season leading the program, the Hillcats tallied a 16-10 record going 11-7 in conference play.

The Hillcats' 16-10 record at the end of the year was yet another winning season for the program marking the seventh time in seven years that the squad managed to surpass the 15-win plateau. RSU had four players finish the season averaging doubledigit scoring led by seniors Hooks and Odoch Opong helping each earn a spot on the 2013-14 All-Heartland Conference Men's Basketball Team.

RSU was an impressive 11-3 inside the friendly confines of the Claremore Expo Center continuing the trend of winning at home as they improved to 81-19 (.810 winning percentage) in home games during its seven-year history. This record counted a stretch where the Hillcats won seven of their first eight at home, including the first three Heartland Conference games.

Hooks was a second team selection after leading the Hillcats with 16.6 points per game, ranking third in the conference. He started all 26 games in his only season at RSU posting the eighth-highest, single-season scoring total of 432 points. The Tulsa, Okla., native tallied a season-best 29 points twice in November against Henderson State and Mid-America Christian.

The season opened with some difficulty as the team found themselves in unfamiliar territory with a 1-2 record before senior Robinson Odoch Opong set a single-game record scoring 43 points in an overtime victory against Ouachita Baptist, 111-106, closing the UAFS Lions Classic. The win sparked the Hillcats as they continued on a five-game winning streak with a seven-point victory over Newman in their conference debut Dec. 2.

A native of Quebec City, Quebec, Odoch Opong was named All-Heartland Honorable Mention following a senior season where he ranked seventh in conference scoring at 14.8 points per game. He broke the RSU single-game scoring record netting 43 points against Ouachita Baptist and set a single-season record hitting 84.4 percent of free throws. Odoch Opong connected on 65 three pointers in 26 games played posting the fourth-best total in RSU single-season history.

After a heartbreaking 75-72 loss to Texas A&M International in Laredo, Texas for RSU's first conference road game, the team responded by winning its next four contests through the holidays earning road victories at St. Mary's and Newman.

J.C. Hartzler and Deran Banton each recorded double-figure scoring averages for the Hillcats at 12.2 and 10.8 points per game, respectively. Both players also earned Heartland Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week honors with Hartzler getting the first-ever award for the program Jan. 6 while Banton was recognized Feb. 24.

The final stretch of the year saw the Hillcats post an even 66 record where they finished off season sweeps of St. Mary's and in-state rival Oklahoma Christian with home wins added over St. Edward's and McMurry. The 2013-14 season came to an end in dramatic fashion falling 106-102 in overtime on the road at conference champion UA Fort Smith. The Hillcats trailed by four points with 13 seconds remaining in regulation before Jerry Dixon tallied a bucket and drew the foul to keep the team alive. After Dixon's desperation three pointer from the corner fell off the iron, Odoch Opong was in the perfect spot for the rebound and the put-back at the buzzer sending the game into overtime. In the extra session, Dixon knotted the score again with five seconds to play but the Lions clinched the conference with an off-balanced, buzzer-beating three. It was the final collegiate game for five seniors in the navy and red as Dixon, Ritchi Mundende, Damion Hooks, Odoch Opong, and Josh May closed their careers on the Hill.

u JC Hartzler has played in all 58 games over the last two years at Rogers State.

ABOUT THE HEARTLAND CONFERENCE The Heartland Conference is an NCAA Division II conference, founded in 1999, that currently consists of 11 schools, six from Texas, three 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, Okla.. 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), 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;THEâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;HEARTLANDâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;CONFERENCE 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.
