SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE 2011-12 PREVIEW TEAM PREVIEWS 2010-11 REVIEW HISTORY & RECORDS
THIS IS THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. What began as a small gathering of college administrators nearly 50 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence. On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock, Ark., metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. Central Arkansas and A&M-Corpus Christi enhanced the Conference in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and principled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage. In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference membership also consists of Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas State University-San Marcos. All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of approximately 920,000. Famous alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam

Houston State), retired U.S. Central Command General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington). The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as the Dallas/ Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and the New Orleans area, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport. The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already broadcast nearly 100 events. The network is expanding its reach to roughly 10 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas in 2011-12. In its first three years, the regional network has received recognition for its work. It received a national honorable mention award at the College Sports Media Award at the College Sports Video Summit in
Atlanta in June 2011 for its production of the 2010 Stephen F. Austin vs. Sam Houston State football game in the category of professional live event, competing with the likes of ESPN, Turner Sports, YES Network and other conference networks, including the Big Ten and Mountain West. In the summer of 2010, the network was recognized for the best live game or event in its category for the production of the 2009 McNeese State vs. Stephen F. Austin football game. The conference network has also collected four prestigious Telly Awards, including this past summer when the conference won a Silver Telly Award for its promotion of the 2011 Southland Conference basketball tournament. In January 2011, the Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas and Hunt Sports Group, played host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference office since 2006. The game will be played at Frisco’s Pizza Hut Park for at least the next two seasons. Frisco was named the fastest growing city in the nation in 2010. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest, the sixth such title game appearance since the league joined the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 93 Division I playoff games in 29 years, winning 43 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks

State in the NIT) for the second time since 2008 and enjoyed its first win in the NCAA tournament since 2006. Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led teams in the Southland. In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins. In 2011, three Southland teams reached the postseason for the second consecutive season. McNeese State won its first conference tournament to earn its first NCAA tournament berth. Lamar was selected to play in its first WNIT and Central Arkansas played in its first Division I postseason tournament in the WBI. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 11 times, including each of the last five years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper. Baseball has emerged as a huge Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country and that was no different in 2011 when 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland. Former UT Arlington shortstop, Trey Hillman, a three-time all-conference selection from 1983-85, was manager for the Kansas City Royals from the 2007-10 seasons and coached the American League in the 2009 MLB All-Star Game.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports. Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 45-plus years. The league has sent two teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney, Devin Brown, and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The Southland took another step forward in 2011.

of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests. The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 national championship. McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, played in the 1997 and 2002 NCAA Division I Championship games, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title game and has six playoff appearances, including each of the last two seasons. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned four trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the national 16-team playoffs. Five of the eight current football-playing members have qualified for the FCS playoffs. The Southland has produced 156 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level. The Southland is one of three FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (204) in the National Football League draft. The league also ranks third in the FCS with 24 players taken in the draft since 2000 and has 18 former players on NFL rosters heading into the 2011 season. The Southland Conference has also sent such talent to the professional ranks as Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and

players from the Southland get drafted, matching its best draft in conference history (1995), to push the all-time draft total to 439 selections. In 2010, UT Arlington’s Michael Choice became the seventh Southland player taken in the first round, selected by Oakland with the 10th overall selection. He joins Ben Sheets (LouisianaMonroe) as the league’s highest draft pick. The two are the only players in Southland history to be taken in the top 10 of the draft. In 2011, Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. Gilligan joined the Southland Conference Hall of Honor in 2011. After 26 years as a college head coach, including the last five years at Sam Houston State, Mark Johnson, a Southwestern baseball legend, retired following the 2011 season. He was the 44th Division I coach to win more than 1,000 career games (1,043). He is among an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells. Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, annually beating at least one nationally ranked opponent since 1995. In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin at No. 3 Texas. In the 2003 NCAA tournament, UT Arlington and Texas State enjoyed unprecedented success as each won two games in the national event. In 19 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 14 wins. The Southland has a proud history in volleyball with UT Arlington representing the conference eight times in the NCAA tournament, advancing all the way to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national
championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner and Charles Austin, Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of five more All-Americans in 2011, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 62 unique all-time AllAmericans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 152 different All-Americans, including 123 men and 29 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships. Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2011 when three Southland teams – UT Arlington, Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past three seasons the Southland has sent nine golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010 and one in 2011. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black. In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007. Southland tennis has also experienced national prominence. UT Arlington All-American Andy Leber was the 2002 ITA/Ted Farnsworth National Senior Co-Player of the Year after a 43-3 record and earning the nation’s No. 2 ranking.
In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005. The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, studentathletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 953 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2011 spring semester. While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last five years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In the most recent year of data collection, 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
SOUTHLAND COMMISSIONER TOM BURNETT Commissioner Ninth Year Joined Southland: Dec. 23, 2002 Alma Mater: Louisiana Tech, 1988 Tom Burnett was named the Southland Conference’s sixth commissioner on Dec. 23, 2002, and brought a diverse background in athletics administration experience at the conference and national levels. Now the second-longest tenured full-time commissioner in league history, Burnett is in his ninth year of service with the Southland, and has a conference administrative background reaching over two decades. Burnett has helped to enhance the Southland’s membership, with addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M UniversityCorpus Christi in July, 2006. The new membership gave the league 12 member institutions, the largest configuration in the conference’s 48year history. The league’s television exposure has expanded under his watch with the creation of the Southland Conference Television Network in 2008. This broadcast venture has since featured approximately 100 unique sports and promotional telecasts to a potential viewing audience of more than 13 million television households. The Southland also signed a multiyear agreement with the ESPN family of networks in 2010, and the league has had longstanding relationships with Fox Sports Net Southwest and Cox Sports Television. He also recently led the successful communitywide effort to bring the 2011-13 NCAA Division I Football Championship Games to Frisco, Texas, as the Southland serves as the host conference for the national title contests at Pizza Hut
Park. A leading proponent for the Football Championship Subdivision, Burnett organized the first FCS Summit, a national gathering of athletic directors, commissioners, NCAA staff and other key football stakeholders held prior to the 2011 national championship game. A former member of both the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Academic Performance and the Division I Football Academic Working Group, Burnett also served as the FCS Vice President for the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA) in 2007-08. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for NCAA Football, the organization that serves to improve, promote and protect college football for those who play, coach and support the game. In 2004, Burnett also began the league’s renewed efforts to secure corporate sponsorships. Since then, the Southland has secured sponsorship agreements with State Farm Insurance, Capital One Bank, Toyota, American Airlines, Royal Purple Motor Oil, Best Western Hotels, O’Reilly Auto Parts, BellSouth, Aeropostale, Holiday Inn, Academy Sports and Outdoors, and Advantage Rent-A-Car. He also initiated efforts to bring the Southland Conference basketball tournaments to a neutral site in the Houston area, giving the league a year-end celebration of the sport at a centralized location near much of the Southland’s largest alumni and student bases. Prior to joining the Southland, Burnett spent nearly 11 years in a number of roles with the Sun Belt Conference, including stints as associate

and assistant commissioner, and director of communications. He also served two years on the staff of the American South Conference. His previous responsibilities included championships administration, public and media relations, television production and negotiation, scheduling, marketing, NCAA championship and committee service, and football bowl experience. While at the Sun Belt, Burnett worked in the development of football as a league-sponsored sport, and was an administrator with the New Orleans Bowl, which began in 2001. He also produced the Sun Belt’s television packages with ESPN Regional Television, which debuted in 2002. In addition, he has experience negotiating television agreements with regional sports networks such as Fox Sports Net, Comcast/ Charter Sports Southeast and numerous local television stations and cable systems. He also provided oversight of Sun Belt championship events and administered more than 100 league tournaments. In 2000, he began exclusively administering the Sun Belt’s men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, which grew from minimal financial successes into events that grossed the conference $1.2 million during a three-year period. Burnett has also served in an administrative capacity with numerous NCAA events, including national championships in men’s and women’s basketball, track and field, baseball and volleyball. He represented the Southland Conference on the NCAA Division I Management Council in 2004-05, and served on the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Governance Committee from 2004-06. Burnett previously served on the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, and the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee. Burnett, 47, is a native of Houston, Texas, and is a 1988 graduate of Louisiana Tech University, where he studied journalism and spent one year as the sports editor of the school’s student newspaper. He and his wife Tracy, a native of Baton Rouge, La., are the parents of a son, Cole, and a daughter, Jesse.

HISTORY & RECORDS
As one of the nation’s newest and innovative broadcast opportunities, the award-winning Southland Conference Television Network became a reality in 2008 and has broadcast more than 100 events during its first three-plus years. The network has earned a College Sports Media Award (2009) and an honorable mention (2010) at the College Sports Video Summit in Atlanta as well as four prestigious Telly Awards. The conference will feature 15 live basketball telecasts during the 2011-12 season. The entire package will be carried across the Southland’s network of affiliated television stations, plus online at SLC NOW. Select match-ups will air nationwide on ESPN Full Court. “We’re very pleased to announce another season of outstanding basketball broadcasts,” Burnett said. “The Southland Network has provided welcome and compelling programming during the last three years, and the ‘in-house’ concept of our broadcast effort has been mimicked by other conferences as a unique and effective way to promote institutions and their student-athletes.” The network will open its broadcast schedule Wednesday, Jan. 4, when the men’s team from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi plays host to Lamar. The second telecast will take the crew to Conway, as the Stephen F. Austin men face Central Arkansas Jan. 11. The first women’s basketball broadcast of the season will emanate from the University Center in Hammond on Jan. 18, as the Southeastern Louisiana Lady Lions take on defending Southland Conference champion McNeese State. Later, men’s basketball’s version of the “Battle of the Piney Woods” takes place on Jan. 25, when Stephen F. Austin hosts Sam Houston State. That’s followed by a visit to Northwestern State for a women’s game between the Lady Demons and 2011 WNIT participant Central Arkansas on Feb. 1. Three consecutive men’s games then appear on the schedule: UT Arlington at Sam Houston State (Feb. 8), UTSA at McNeese State in a rematch of the 2011 Southland Conference Tournament championship game (Feb. 15) and Texas State at Southeastern Louisiana (Feb. 22). The only Saturday game on the Southland Conference Television Network schedule is Feb. 25, when the Lamar women’s squad plays host Sam Houston State. The regular season schedule wraps up the following weekend with the men’s teams from Nicholls State and Northwestern State Feb. 29. The network will carry the women’s and men’s semifinals of the Southland Conference tournament on Thursday, March 8. The broadcast schedule concludes with the women’s championship game on Friday, March 9. Check southland.org/television for a complete list of affiliates.

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
On the strength of two regular-season team championships and seven top-three finishes, UTSA claimed its second Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup for the 2010-11 academic year. UTSA compiled 142.5 points to edge last year’s Cup winner, Stephen F. Austin, by one point with 141.5 points. The Roadrunners won their first Cup in 2008 and have finished as the runnerup in four of the last five Cup standings. UTSA is one of four Southland universities to win at least two Commissioner’s Cups, joining Sam Houston State, UT Arlington and Texas State. UTSA totaled 78.5 points to win their first outright women’s all-sports trophy in program history. The Roadrunners finished in a first-place tie with former conference member Louisiana-Monroe in 1994. Since that time, UTSA has finished in the top four 12 times with four secondplace scores. The Roadrunners had 64 points to finish second in the men’s all-sports trophy standings behind Stephen F. Austin, which totaled 69 points. UTSA, which won the men’s all-sports trophy in 2006 and 2008, has been one of the more consistent programs in the conference, finishing no less than third in each of the last eight seasons. The UTSA women won their first golf championship and finished in the top five in five other sports, including second place in soccer and volleyball. The UTSA men won their sixth consecutive indoor track and field title and recorded a top-five finish in four other sports, including second place in tennis and outdoor track and field. Stephen F. Austin, the 2010 Commissioner’s Cup winner, was one point shy of claiming a share of its second overall trophy in the last two seasons. SFA was equally impressive in 2011 as the men’s and women’s programs combined to win five conference championships. The men claimed titles in football and outdoor track and field and the women swept championships in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track and field. Texas State (124), UT Arlington (121.5) and Sam Houston State (119.5), came in third, fourth and fifth place, respectively, by a margin of less than five points. McNeese State (112.5) finished sixth, Lamar (110), was seventh and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (89.5) finished in eighth place. Northwestern State (83.0), Central Arkansas (80.0), Southeastern Louisiana (80.0) and Nicholls (64.0) round out this year’s standings. The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded annually to the top overall athletics program in the Southland Conference. Texas State leads all member institutions with four. In the 14-year history of the Commissioner’s Cup, UT Arlington and Sam Houston State each have three, UTSA now has two, and Northwestern State and Stephen F. Austin have one apiece. The Southland Conference all-sports trophies are awarded annually for men’s and women’s competition based on a 12-point system for all conference sports. Point values are 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, pending place of finish. Regular-season standings are used for sports that have a conference tournament. The Commissioner’s Cup is awarded to the university compiling the highest combined total of men’s and women’s all-sports points.
The Southland Conference presents five academic accolades to recognize student-athletes within the league who demonstrate excellence in the classroom and superior athletic achievements on the field or court. These academic honors include the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the All-Academic teams, the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year, the Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete awards and the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship awards.
Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll
Now called the Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll, the Southland Conference acknowledges all participants in all sports sponsored by the league and its member institutions. The honor roll is released within 30 days at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters, recognizing student-athletes who maintained a 3.0 or better grade-point average. Student-athletes, nominated by their respective academic advisors, must have been eligible to compete in a Conference sport during the academic year in which the nomination occurs. The honor roll was first dubbed Southland Conference All-Academic and then the Southland Conference Honor Roll. It changed for a third time to the Commissioner’s List, beginning with the 1996-97 season, before acquiring its current title in the 2003-04 academic year.
Southland Conference All-Academic Teams
The Southland Conference announces all-academic teams in all 17 championship sports to recognize those student-athletes who excel in the classroom and on the field or court. Nominated by each institution’s athletic media relations director and selected by a voting contingent made up of sports information directors, head coaches and academic or compliance administrators, all-academic team members must have posted at least a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, completed at least one full academic year at the member institution prior to the season in which the nomination occurs, and competed in a minimum of 50 percent of the sport’s contests during the most recently completed season. Student-athletes receiving CoSIDA national academic honors are automatically named to the Southland all-academic first team. Allacademic teams are announced in conjunction with the conference’s student-athlete of the year in each sport. One team shall be selected for cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field within 30 days following the outdoor championship.
HISTORY & RECORDS
Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year
Established in the 2002-03 academic year, the conference honors one student-athlete from each of the 17 championship sports who achieves excellence in academics, athletics and community/campus service. The student-athlete of the year, selected by the league’s awards committee, will have attained athletics achievement for at least two years at the nominating institution, possess at least a 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and demonstrated extracurricular service at his/her campus and/or community. The recipient of the student-athlete of the year award is announced in conjunction with the all-academic teams in each sport.
Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete
Beginning with the 1996-97 season, the conference annually recognizes the outstanding male and female student-athletes from each of the league’s member institutions. Student-athletes must be a letterwinner with a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade-point average and have completed at least two years of intercollegiate competition at the school from which he/ she was nominated. The student-athletes are selected by their respective institution administrators.
F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship
The F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship is presented annually to graduating male and female letterwinners with the highest cumulative grade-point averages during their enrollment at Southland member schools. The $2,500 scholarship must be applied to graduate study at an institution of the recipient’s choice. The award was established in memory of Dr. F.L. McDonald in 199697, a former president of Lamar University and 1999 Southland Hall of Honor inductee. McDonald served as Lamar’s president in 1963 when the Southland Conference was established and is considered one of the league’s founding fathers. Each member institution may nominate one male and one female student-athlete who meet the following criteria: a letterwinner in a Conference sport, be on track to graduate during the spring in which they are nominated or the subsequent summer, and plan to attend graduate school no later than the second fall following the receipt of the award. The 2010-11 scholarships were presented by Toyota.

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
FRISCO, TEXAS
The City of Frisco is the fastest growing city in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Long considered a “fast growing community,” the City of Frisco achieved the title in 2010 when the U.S. Census Bureau announced Frisco’s population had grown from 33,714 in 2000 to more than 109,000 in 2010. This phenomenal growth is one reason why city leaders selected “Progress in Motion” as the city’s slogan. Progress in Motion, which best describes Frisco’s spirit, compliments a brand that reflects Frisco’s century old roots. Established in 1902, Frisco was named for the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway which trekked through the then, small town. The brand first used to distinguish the historical rail line is now recognized throughout the U.S. as belonging to a city “making history,” as a result of its incredible growth and progressive practices. Before being dubbed “the fastest growing city in the country,” Forbes.com awarded Frisco a place on its “Top 10 Best Places to Relocate” in 2009. Money Magazine listed Frisco among the “Top 100 Best Places to Live” in 2008. Every day, more and more people are drawn to the City of Frisco for its emphasis on education, family and quality of life. Increasing enrollment by 10-30 percent during the past 12 years, the Frisco Independent School District is the fastest growing school district in the nation. Currently, 37,306 students are served on 52 campuses by 5,000 staff members, making FISD among the largest single employers in the area. The Lewisville and Prosper Independent School Districts also serve Frisco. Together, these districts provide exceptional education environments. Higher education is also a priority in Frisco. Collin College, Dallas Baptist University, University of Dallas and Amberton University have campuses in Frisco. Frisco’s comprehensive plan – or blue print for growth – was named “best in the state” in
16
2000 and again in 2006. The City of Frisco has been “building green” since 2001, when Frisco became the first city in the country to mandate the EPA’s Energy Star program as the standard for new home construction. The Frisco Fire Department has achieved the highest rating awarded by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), which translates into cost savings for homeowners. More importantly, the ISO No. 1 rating means the City of Frisco fire services, as well as its water and communications systems, are of the highest quality. Frisco Fire Safety Town is the first of its kind in the U.S., hosting more than 142,000 “children of all ages” since opening in 2007. Frisco is proud to claim one of the lowest crime rates in Collin and Denton Counties, a credit to our watchful citizens and nationally accredited Frisco Police Department. The Frisco Parks and Recreation Department was named “best in the state” by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society in 2007 and 2010. The new Frisco Discovery Center houses the Frisco Art Gallery, Frisco Black Box Theatre and Sci Tech Discovery Center under one roof while the
nearby Frisco Heritage Museum invites visitors to experience history. Art lovers can experience more than 150 pieces of art on public display throughout the city. Stonebriar Centre mall anchors eight million square feet of dining and retail offerings, which include IKEA and Sam Moon Trading Company. Ten hotels and the Frisco Conference Center offer visitors and conventioneers a “home away from home.” Frisco has “can do” attitude and a reputation for creating unique, public/private partnerships resulting in first class sports and entertainment venues. Frisco is home to the Frisco Roughriders, an affiliate of the Texas Rangers; the three-time national champion Texas Tornado, a junior league hockey team; and the Texas Legends, a member of the NBA D-League and the newest member of the Frisco sports family. These teams play in state of the art venues, including the Dr Pepper Ballpark and the Dr Pepper Arena, which is also home to the Dallas Stars’ headquarters and training facility. Fieldhouse USA is a 144,000 square foot indoor sports facility and World Olympic Gymnastics Academy, renowned for turning out Olympic champions Nastia Luikin and Carly Patterson, is headquartered in Frisco. Pizza Hut Park is an innovative soccer specific complex featuring a 23,500- seat stadium, which is home to FC Dallas, of Major League Soccer, as well as 17 tournament grade fields. This world class facility hosts everything from high school to international sporting events, not to mention, A-list concerts. The NCAA Division I Football Championship Game touched down at Pizza Hut Park in 2011 and will be played here through at least the 2012 season. The City of Frisco’s list of major accomplishments and developments span the past 10 years yet continue to grow with its population. Frisco is a community full modern day pioneers defining Progress in Motion.

McNeese State and UTSA Favored in East and West Divisions McNeese State and UTSA are the favorites to win the Southland Conference East and West Divisions, respectively, in the 2011-12 preseason coaches’ and sports information director’s polls. McNeese State received nine first-place votes both the coaches’ poll in the SID poll while UTSA received six first-place votes in the coaches’ poll and five in the SID poll. McNeese State returns 12 letterwinners from its most successful season in school history in 2010-11. The Cowgirls finished as the regular season and tournament champions and posted a 26-7 overall record and a 15-1 mark in conference play. The overall record ties the best NCAA turnaround from the previous season with the 2002 Valparaiso team. McNeese returns four of its top five scorers including first team all-conference performer Ashlyn Baggett and second team all-conference player Caitlyn Baggett. UTSA coach Rae Rippetoe-Blair returns eight letterwinners from last year’s program that finished first in the West Division with an 11-5 record in conference. Blair, who is one victory shy of 300 for her career and eight shy for 200 at UTSA, looks to capitalize on the return of her two all-conference players in Whitney York and Judy Jones, both of whom missed the 2010-11 season. York, who fell victim to a preseason injury a year ago, led the Roadrunners in scoring with 15.0 points per game in 2009-10. McNeese State defeated UTSA in the Southland Conference tournament semifinals on the Cowgirls way to clinching the conference’s automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. Eight All-Conference Selections Return for 2011-12 Season Eight players from last season’s All-Southland Conference teams return for the 2011-12 season, including four first-team selections and the reigning player of the year. Megan Herbert, a junior forward at Central Arkansas, earned first-team all conference accolades a season ago on her way to being named the conference player of the year. Also returning from the first-team are juniors Ashlyn Baggett, Britni Martin and Kalis Loyd. Ashlyn Baggett, whose twin sister Caitlyn earned preseason second-team honors, is a guard at McNeese State and helped lead the Cowgirls to their best season in history last year. Martin, a guard for Sam Houston State, and Loyd, a guard at Nicholls State, earned first team honors for the first time last year. Completing the preseason first-team all-conference selections is senior guard Tammara Marion from Stephen F. Austin. Leading the way on the second-team all-conference selections is Sequeena Thomas, a junior forward for Sam Houston State, and Caitlyn Baggett, a junior guard at McNeese State. Last season’s newcomer of the year Monique Whittaker, a Lamar forward, also earned a spot along with Nicholls State’s KK Babin, the 2010-11 freshman of the year. Completing the second team is Texas State junior Diamond Ford. Southland Tournament Returns to Katy, Texas The Southland Conference will again travel to the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas for the league’s annual event. This year’s tournament will begin on Tuesday, March 6 as quarterfinal action begins with game one at noon. The seminfinals and finals, which will be televised by the Southland Conference Television Network, will take place on Thursday, March 8 and the championship game will be played Friday, March 9. The 2011-12 tournament will be the 13th in league history to be played at a neutral site. The tournament was played in Shreveport, La., from 1995-01 and was held in Houston in 2007 before moving to Katy in 2008. Southland Women’s Basketball Sends Three to the Postseason For the second consecutive season, three Southland Conference women’s basketball programs received postseason invitations. McNeese State made its first appearance in the NCAA tournament, Lamar was invited to its first postseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) and Central Arkansas was selected to play in the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI). McNeese State received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament after defeating Central Arkansas in the 2011 State Farm Southland Conference Basketball Tournament. The Cowgirls earned a No. 15 seed and faced second-seeded Texas A&M. Lamar received the Southland’s automatic bid into the WNIT after McNeese State advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Cardinal faced SEC opponent Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark. Central Arkansas hosted Alabama-Birmingham in the opening round of the WBI for the school’s first Division I national postseason tournament. Central Arkansas Transitioned Straight into Division I Postseason Play In its first season of Division I postseason eligiblity, Central Arkansas earned the invitation to play in the Women’s Basketball Invitational. The Sugar Bears hosted the eventual-WBI champion UAB in the opening round. Central Arkansas was one of three Southland programs with more than 20 wins last year and finished third in the league standings. The Sugar Bears look continue to improve this season with the return of the 2010-11 conference Player of the Year in Megan Herbert. McNeese State Claims First Southland Conference Tournament Championship McNeese State capped off its remarkable turnaround from the 2009-10 season’s 7-22 mark with a 7150 win over Central Arkansas that clinched the women’s tournament title for the Cowgirls along with an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. McNeese used the first 6:19 of the second half to floor the Sugar Bears, who made their first trip to the championship game in their initial year of eligibility. Tournament Most Valuable Player Ashlyn Baggett keyed the decisive run, scoring nine of her game-high 23 points during a 17-5 run that turned a 37-26 halftime lead into a 54-31 advantage.

HISTORY & RECORDS
Central Arkansas Hosts Opening Round of Inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitational In the school’s first-ever NCAA Division I postseason tournament game, a Central Arkansas women’s basketball record crowd of 2,953 came out to the Farris Center to watch the Sugar Bears take on UAB in the first round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational. Unfortunately, they did not get to celebrate a UCA victory. Despite not making a field goal in the last 8:30, the Sugar Bears trailed just one with 1:35 to play but couldn’t get over the hump in the final moments and fell 58-54 to the Blazers, bringing an end to their 201011 season. UAB jumped on the Sugar Bears early, taking a 12-3 lead, but UCA responded with a 17-5 run to take a 20-17 lead with eight minutes to go in the first half. The Sugar Bears stayed within five and trailed just 27-26 at the half. The Sugar Bears looked primed to take control of the game, going on a 12-4 run to start the second half, going up 38-31. With 8:58 remaining, UAB knocked down a 3-pointer to give the Blazers their first lead in 11 minutes. The Sugar Bears answered on a layup by Megan Herbert with 8:31 to go, making it 47-46 UCA on what would prove to be both the Sugar Bears’ final basket and final lead. Herbert had 16 points to lead three Sugar Bears in double figures, with Desiree Rogers and Nakeia Guiden each adding 10. The Sugar Bears ended their first year out of the Division I reclassification period with their second consecutive 21-win season, first Southland Conference tournament appearance and first D-I national postseason tournament appearance.

Lamar Returns to the Postseason with a WNIT Invite The Lamar University women’s basketball team saw its hopes of a postseason title come to an end with a 91-65 loss to Arkansas in the first round of the WNIT on Thursday. Lamar couldn’t overcome a cold shooting touch in the first half. The Lady Cardinals were just 9-of-33 (27.3 percent) from the floor in the first half, including going just 2-of-13 (15.4 percent) from 3-point range as Arkansas raced out to a 43-22 lead at intermission. Lamar would get as close as 18 points in the second half, but the deficit was just too big to overcome. Lamar also had trouble overcoming Arkansas’ 59-37 rebounding advantage. Jenna Plumley, playing in her final game in a Lamar uniform, led the Lady Cardinals with 15 points and four assists. Kalis Loyd had 14 points, while Trashanna Smith, another senior playing her final game for Lamar, had 12 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks. Despite the loss, it was still a successful season for the Lady Cardinals, who advanced to postseason play for the second year in a row. Lamar is 51-16 over the last two seasons, which the most wins in the history of the program over that time span.
Southland Teams Play 26 Games Against Teams in 2011 Postseason All twelve Southland schools face non-conference opponents that participated in the 2011 postseason, including two games against the defending national champion Texas A&M Aggies. Lamar opens its season against the Aggies and McNeese State faces Texas A&M Dec. 30. The Lady Cardinals only face one team from last year’s NCAA’s but will face-off against four teams that took part in the WNIT. The Cowgirls, the defending Southland conference champions, play three more teams from the NCAA Tournament including UCLA, Houston and Baylor. Central Arkansas and UT Arlington both face two participants from the NCAA Tournament, while Sam Houston State, Northwestern State, Texas State and UTSA each play one opponent.
2011-12 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASKETBALL
2011-12 PREVIEW
McNeese State Plays Texas A&M in First NCAA Tournament Appearance McNeese State’s record setting season came to an end with a 87-47 NCAA Tournament first round loss to Texas A&M. The Cowgirls ended the season 26-7. Caitlyn Baggett led the Cowgirls with 22 points, making 10-of-20 from the field and was 1-of-3 from threepoint range. The Cowgirls struggled from the field from the get go and missed shots that would normally fall. McNeese struggled from behind the arc and made four of 17 attempts and was 5-of-10 from the free throw line. The Cowgirls were out rebounded 45-25 by the taller and quicker Aggie inside players. Texas A&M jumped out to an 8-0 run in the first four minutes of the game with six points coming off fast break points following Cowgirl misses on the offensive side. The Cowgirls got on the scoreboard on a layup by Martika Hull. Texas A&M then went on another 8-0 run to take a 16-2 lead with 12:11 left in the half.
CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT
The Sugar Bears jumped to an early 6-4 lead behind consecutive treys from all-Tournament performer Desiree Rogers, but relinquished the edge for good when Baggett hit a 3-pointer at the 16:04 mark. Central Arkansas got within 18-14 with 9:40 left in the first half, but could not match baskets against a Cowgirls team that shot 57 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes. Much of McNeese’s offensive success came from the defensive work against Southland player of the year Megan Herbert. Herbert, who had a combined 35 points and 24 rebounds in two prior meetings against the Cowgirls, was held to just 13 points and six rebounds before fouling out in the final three minutes. All-tournament member Caitlyn Baggett had 15 points, six assists and four rebounds while also helping hold Sugar Bears guards Rogers, Nakeia Guiden and Micah Rice to a combined 11 points. The all-tournament team consisted of McNeese State’s Ashlyn Bagget, Caitlyn Baggett and Kendra Wells, Central Arkansas’ Desiree’ Rogers and UTSA’s Ashleigh Franklin.

The Southland Conference has had its share of women’s basketball tradition, with LouisianaMonroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport as one of eight programs in the NCAA with over 800 wins. Women’s basketball standouts have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Sue Gunter, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper. Blair and Gunter have both received honors as two of the NCAA’s all-time greatest coaches. In the national polls, the league has also experienced success as Stephen F. Austin, which joined the Southland Conference in 1988, finished No. 19 in 1988, No. 11 in 1989, No. 6 in 1990, No. 14 in 1991, No. 4 in 1992, No. 12 in 1993, No. 19 in 1997 and No. 19 in 1998. In addition, former member Louisiana-Monroe finished No. 13 in 1984 and No. 2 in 1985. In 1983 Louisiana-Monroe was the league’s first representative in the NCAA Tournament, winning the Southland’s first postseason contest in an opening round game that same season, followed by another win the following year. In 1985, Louisiana-Monroe showed the league’s progress, as it advanced to the Final Four. In 29 NCAA Tournaments, the league has won a first or opening round game 12 times. The league has competed in the WNIT 10 times, as Northwestern State became the first school to compete in the event in 1993. The Demons got the league’s first WNIT win that same season, before ending the tournament in the consolation game. The next season, Louisiana-Monroe advanced to the third round. In the 1995 WNIT, Northwestern State advanced to the championship game, the second trip in school history, as it played in the 1986 WNIT Championship before joining the Southland Conference in 1988. In 2008 Texas State made their first appearance in the WNIT with a buzzer-beater victory over Prairie View A&M by Player of the Year Joyce
26
Ekworomadu for the league’s first postseason win in women’s basketball in 13 years. UT Arlington made its first appearance in the WNIT in 2009 after claiming its first regular-season title under Coach Samantha Morrow. In 2010, the Southland accomplished its first trifecta as three league programs reached the postseason in the same year. After winning its first league tournament title, Lamar faced West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament. Stephen F. Austin played Creighton in its third WNIT appearance and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi was one of 16 teams invited to compete in the inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitational and reached the semifinals recording its first two postseason wins in school history. In 2011, McNeese State also tied the NCAA record for the best turnaround from the previous season by posting 19 more wins and earning its first NCAA appearance. The Southland once again sent three teams into the postseason with McNeese State playing in the NCAA Tournament, Lamar competing in the WNIT and Central Arkansas earning its first-ever Division I postseason berth with an invite to the WBI. Multiple players have continued their careers professionally. Most recently, Central Arkansas’ Caronia Randle and Renita Dobbins played with the Arkansas Starz of the WBCBL, while Stephen F. Austin’s Charity Egenti was invited to WNBA training camp with the Phoenix Mercury. Former Central Arkansas assistant coach Carone Harris, a two-time All-American and the NCAA career leader in steals in all divisions was named one of the NCAA’s all-time finest women’s basketball players, had a WNBA tryout with the Washington Mystics, before being invited to camp with the Chicago Sky. 2006 Southland Player of the Year Terra Wallace was invited to the WNBA’s Pre-Draft Camp at Cleveland State University. Other players to continue their careers professionally include UT Arlington’s Rola Ogunove, who played in Europe, as did Northwestern State’s La’Terrica Dobin, the 2004 Southland Player of the Year who led the nation in assists for three-straight years. Texas State’s Tamara Thompson, the 2005 Southland Newcomer of the Year, played professionally overseas, after playing in Israel in 2006, while Mercy Okorie played for the Nigerian National Team. Stephen F. Austin’s Portia Hill who played professionally in France, was on the 1990 U.S. National Team, while Katrina Price played professionally in the ABL in the late 1990s. In addition, Texas State’s Ekworomadu, along with former UTSA standout Vivian Ewalefo and SFA standout Charity Egenti, the 2007 Southland Player of the Year, all played for the Nigerian National team. Over the years, Southland Conference schools have earned victories over Tennessee, Duke, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas Tech, Arizona, Baylor, Florida, George Washington, Indiana, Kansas, Kansas State, Maryland, Mississippi, Mississippi State, UNLV, Texas A&M, Texas, Southern California and Missouri.

SEASON OUTLOOK In each of the past two seasons, Central Arkansas has surpassed 20 wins and gone 11-5 in the Southland Conference play. Last season, the Sugar Bears – in their first year eligible for Division I postseason play – played for a spot in the NCAA Tournament by advancing to the finals of the Southland Conference Tournament in Katy, Texas. Though they fell short in the championship game, the Sugar Bears’ season still ended with a postseason tournament berth, hosting UAB in the WBI in front of a school-record crowd in the Farris Center.

With the core of that team intact for the 2011-12 season, the Sugar Bears have high hopes that this season will not end at home.
Ten players return from last year’s team, including all five starters and eight of the team’s nine leading scorers. Leading the charge is reigning Southland Conference Player of the Year Megan Herbert. Herbert, a 5-foot-11 junior from Rogers, Ark., led the league in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage for the second straight year – putting up marks of 17.2 points and 10.6 rebounds while shooting 56.7 percent – becoming the first player in conference history to do so.
Junior forward Desiree’ Rogers returns in the frontcourt along with sophomore center Courtney Duever. Duever appeared in all 33 games for the Sugar Bears last season, making six starts, and averaged 7.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game while leading all Southland freshmen in blocks with 25.
2010-11 REVIEW
Also back is senior guard Nakeia Guiden, a two-time All-Southland honorable mention selection. Guiden is joined in the backcourt by senior point guard Destinee Rogers, who started all 33 games for the Sugar Bears last season and led the Southland in assist-to-turnover ratio, and junior Micah Rice, a 2010 Southland All-Academic selection who was fifth in the league in 3-point field goals per game and averaged 9.1 points per game.
TEAM PREVIEWS
Head coach Matt Daniel returns for his fourth season on the Central Arkansas sideline, looking for continued success after putting together one of just two teams in the Southland – along with Lamar – to win 20 or more games in each of the last two seasons.
Senior guard Marci Moffitt and juniors Britney Gowans, Chantel Moss and Westin Taylor are also all back for their third season together. Taylor missed the final 13 games of last season with a knee injury but is expected to be back in time for the season opener.

Nakeia Guiden
The Sugar Bears added four freshmen to the roster, including a pair from Wichita (Kan.) Heights, which won the state title in Kansas’ highest classification and finished the season with a perfect 25-0 record and No. 5 national ranking by USA Today. Guard Mary Sims was one of five players named to the 2011 Kansas All-Class 1st Team and was a 6A All-State selection. Forward Allegria Chisom was an All-State honorable mention and teamed up with Sims to put together a career record of 92-8. Julia Mason, a 5-10 forward from Oklahoma, and Little Rock’s Sharlay Burris – ranked as the nation’s No. 35 shooting guard by ESPN Recruiting – round out the incoming freshman class.

Head Coach Harding, 1998 Fourth Year Record at UCA: 48-43 Career Record: 48-43 (4th Yr.) Daniel was named the Southland Conference Coach of the Year and a WBCA National Coach of the Year nominee in 2009-10. In that season the Sugar Bears broke the 24 year-old conference record by making a 15-game improvement from the previous season – then the 8th largest turnaround ever in Division I play. The 35 year-old Jonesboro, Ark. native came to Central Arkansas from the University of Missouri, where he quickly developed a reputation as one of the nation’s most tireless and spirited young coaches. Daniel has succeeded in bringing in top-quality talent to Central Arkansas. He has signed an Arkansas Miss Basketball, two players ranked in the top 40 nationally at their position and has mined the home state with tremendous success – signing 13 players from within the state’s borders since taking the job. Ten of the Sugar Bears’ top 12 scorers this season were Arkansas products. He spent 1999-2003 as a men’s assistant at UT Arlington and was a graduate assistant at Arizona State in 1998-99. Daniel was Mr. Basketball in Arkansas in 1994 and began his collegiate career at Colorado in ‘94-’95. After two years in Boulder, Daniel transferred to Harding University in Searcy, Ark. where he graduated in 1998.

2011-12 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASKETBALL
LAMAR LADY CARDINALS
SEASON OUTLOOK The Lamar University women’s basketball team will look to make history in 2011-12 as coach Larry Tidwell attempts to solidify the current era as the most successful in program history. Lamar will be looking to post its fifth consecutive season and fourth straight season of 20 or more wins, both of which would be school records. In addition, a 20-win season would put Tidwell atop the Lamar list for career coaching victories. Tidwell is 90-40 over his first four campaigns, trailing only Pat Park, who led Lamar to 109 wins in her six seasons. The Lady Cardinals come off a 25-8 season in 2010-11, advancing to the postseason for a second consecutive year, and qualifying for the WNIT one year after qualifying for the NCAA Tournament. Lamar went 13-3 in Southland Conference play, finishing second in the East Division.

Lamar is led by junior guard Kalis Loyd, a first-team all-conference performer, who averaged 15.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last season. Loyd geared up for the season by playing for Sweden at the World University Games in China this summer. Senior forward Monique Whittaker, last season’s Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year after transferring to Lamar from Nebraska, averaged 13.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per contest for the Lady Cardinals last season. Guard Ang Green is the only four-year senior on the Lady Cardinals this season. Green started all 33 games last season, averaging 8.0 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. Senior guard Brateicka Mock is in her second season after transferring from Blinn Junior College. Mock appeared in all 33 games last season, averaging 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds.
The Lady Cardinals have new six faces on the roster this season, including sophomore center Mary Kovtun, a 6-foot-6 transfer from Kursk State University; junior forward Bobbi Taylor, a transfer from the University of South Alabama; and junior guard Carenn Baylor, a transfer from Angelina Junior College.
2010-11 REVIEW
Returning players who will be asked to step up even more this year include junior guard Jasmin Henderson, who averaged 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 33 games last season and junior center Danielle Heithoff, who averaged 2.8 points and 3.0 rebounds over 29 games.

HISTORY & RECORDS
Tidwell knows that getting to the 20-win plateau this season will not be easy, as the Lady Cardinals have their toughest schedule in Tidwell’s tenure. The non-conference slate includes road contests at defending national champion Texas A&M, UTEP, TCU and LSU. Lamar will also play three games at the BTI Tipoff Classic at the University of Kansas. The highlight of the non-conference home schedule is a Nov. 15 game against Ole Miss of the SEC.

Head Coach Austin College, 1976 Fifth Year Record at LU: 90-40 Career Record: 90-40 (5th Yr.) Tidwell’s coaching abilities were certainly on display the last few seasons, as he led the Lady Cardinals to a 26-8 overall record and a 13-3 mark in Southland Conference games in the 2009-10 season, and a 25-8 overall mark and a 13-3 SLC record in 2010-11. The 2009-10 regular season co-champions of the Southland Conference, Lamar won the conference tournament to advance to its first NCAA Tournament game since 1991. The 26 wins were the second most in school history; and for his efforts, Tidwell was honored as the Texas Basketball Coaches Association Division I Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. Tidwell followed that season up with another impressive showing in 2010-11, as the Lady Cardinals won the consolation round of the Preseason WNIT and advanced to the postseason for the second straight campaign by earning a berth into the WNIT. In just four seasons at the helm of the Lady Cards, Tidwell has fashioned a 90-40 mark, putting him second on Lamar’s all-time wins list. Lamar has seen its’ College RPI rating improve from the 300+ range before Tidwell’s arrival to a 104 RPI ranking this past year, one of the most significant improvements in Division I women’s basketball for that time period. Tidwell came to Lamar in 2007 after serving eight seasons as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at TCU, helping the Lady Frogs to seven consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. In 2002, he earned AFLAC National Assistant Coach of the Year recognition.

SEASON OUTLOOK McNeese is coming off its most successful season in school history after a 26-7 overall record and 15-1 Southland Conference record. The overall record ties the best NCAA turnaround from the previous season with the 2002 Valparaiso team. The 26 overall victories and the 15 conference victories are the most wins in school history. The Cowgirls return 11 letterwinners including three starters from the 2010-11 team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. The Cowgirls lost in the first round to Texas A&M, the eventual National Champions. McNeese also captured the regular season title and its first Southland Conference Tournament title during its historic season. The Cowgirls return four of their top five scorers including first team All-Southland Conference performer in junior Ashlyn Baggett and second team All-Southland Conference pick in twin sister, Caitlyn. Ashlyn led the Cowgirls and ranked second in the Southland Conference with 16.7 points per game, while improving her scoring to 19.6 points per game in conference games. Baggett also led the Cowgirls with a 36.5 three-point field goal percent, 1.5 steals and 32.1 minutes played and was the Southland Conference Tournament MVP. Caitlyn led McNeese and ranked third in the Southland Conference with 4.4 assists per game. And was second on the team in scoring with 11.6 points per game. and an 82.6 free throw percent. Baggett also tied for second on the team with 1.4 spg and was named to the Southland Conference All-Tournament Team. Senior Kendra Wells returns for her final season after leading the Cowgirls and ranked seventh in the league with 8.0 rebounds per game. Wells also tied for a team high seven blocks and was also a member of the Southland Conference All-Tournament Team. The Cowgirls will also welcome the return of sophomore guard Alaina Verdin, who suffered a season ending injury last season in the opening Southland game. Verdin averaged 4.4 points per game and 2.4 rebound per game before her season was cut short. Senior Ja’Niqua Kendrix, the second leading returning rebounder for McNeese, will look to use her veteran leadership to help guide the Cowgirls back to the postseason. The Cowgirl forward averaged 4.4 points per game and 4.2 rebounds per game while snagging better than one steal per contest a year ago.
“This schedule is extremely challenging,” said Williams, who enters her fifth season as head coach at McNeese. “The Southland is going to be very tough this year, and in preparation, we wanted some challenges early to get us ready for conference play, and if we are fortunate enough to put ourselves in position to play in postseason again, we want to be better prepared.”

SEASON OUTLOOK Since her first season at the helm of the Nicholls State University women’s basketball program in 2008-09, head coach DoBee Plaisance has steadily improved the team during her tenure, doubling its wins total each season. In 2010-11, the Colonels notched eight victories, which were the most since the 2004-05 campaign, and look to continue the tread heading into this season. While Nicholls lost its top offensive threat, Ricshanda Bickham, to graduation, the Colonels welcome back four of the five top scorers, led by second-team Preseason All-Southland KK Babin (12.9 ppg). Also returning are double-digit scorers senior guard Sumar Leslie (11.5) and junior forward Alisha Allen (10.7), while sophomore forward LiAnn McCarthy netted 9.0 as a true freshman. In all, Nicholls brings back six returning letterwinners that include three starters. Babin heads a group of talented guards after a stellar first season where she earned freshmen of the year honors from both the Southland and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Babin proved to be the workhouse for Coach Plaisance last year, playing every minute in 27 of 29 games, including Nicholls’ double-overtime contest against UTSA. Not only did she finish the year ranked 15th in scoring, but Babin proved to be an all-around asset by ranking third in the Southland in 3-pointers per game (2.6), fourth in steals (2.4) and eighth in assists (3.6). Senior guard Sumar Leslie, who transferred from ULM prior to last season, returns after playing in 13 games before suffering a season-ending injury. Leslie was a focal point in the Colonel offense, leading the Colonels in scoring on three separate occasions including a 24-point outing against Tulane. She was also Nicholls’ best free throw shooter, connecting on 86% (35-41) from the line. Rounding out the returnees in the backcourt are sophomore Ashley Adams and senior Portia Washington. Washington contributed 23 points in 20 games played while Adams saw action in four contests.
Also at forward are sophomore LiAnn McCarthy and senior Jasmine Hoskins. McCarthy logged 21 starts as a true freshman, was second on the team in rebounding (4.0) and tallied 9.0 points on 43 percent shooting. Hoskins, a three-year letterman, averaged 5.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 24 games played. Coach Plaisance also bolstered the squad with her fourth recruiting class, bringing in five freshmen and one junior college transfer. The 2011-12 class includes guards Stacy Lee , Jenny Nash; forwards Syleida Ellis, Erin Luton; and centers JonMarie Guillory and transfer Holly Martin.
The newcomers at forward will push for playing time in the post. Ellis is an aggressive player with a knack for rebounding, while Luton, a high school teammate of Hoskins at Westside, was named alldistrict three times for the Wolves.
Sumar Leslie
At center, a pair of 6-1 players round out the roster for the Colonels. Guillory was a McDonald’s All-American nominee at St. Louis Catholic, and Martin joins Nicholls after transferring from Pratt Community College.

HISTORY & RECORDS
At 5-10, Nash will bring added length to the backcourt. While at Cypress Woods High, she garnered all-state as a senior and was a three-time all-district selection. Lee, a two-time second-team all-district honoree, will back up the point.
2010-11 REVIEW
At forward, junior Alisha Allen followed up her impressive freshman campaign by averaging nearly 11 points per game. Allen led Nicholls in rebounding for the second straight time with 5.3 per game, and she also proved to be a force inside the paint on defense, blocking a Colonel single-season record 33 shots.

Head Coach Southern Miss, 1985 Fourth Year Record at NICH: 14-70 Career Record: 171-292 (16th Yr.) DoBee Plaisance enters her fourth season at the helm of the Nicholls State University women’s basketball program, and is the ninth head coach in the school’s history. She came to Nicholls after 13 seasons as head coach at Loyola University-New Orleans where she successfully built a dominant NAIA program. Last season, Plaisance led the Colonels to their highest win total since 2004-05, and has doubled their wins each season. Also in 2010-11, Nicholls recorded three conference victories, which is the most during her tenure. With the arrival of scholarships at Loyola in 2004, Plaisance posted an impressive 81-33 record that included back-to-back Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC) Regular Season Championships in 2006-07 and 2007-08. In the 2007-08 season, Plaisance led Loyola to the Elite Eight of the NAIA Women’s Basketball National Championship Tournament. The appearance in the Elite 8 was the furthest that Loyola has ever advanced in the NAIA National Tournament in the program’s history. Loyola also eclipsed program records for wins and highest ranking as the Wolfpack won 28 games and were ranked 15th in the final NAIA poll. Plaisance, a New Orleans native, was a four-year starter throughout her college career, playing two years at the University of New Orleans and two years at Southeastern Louisiana University. She later graduated from Southern Mississippi in 1985.

SEASON OUTLOOK One would think after looking at the Northwestern State Lady Demon basketball roster, the 201112 season will be a rebuilding year. After all, it features just two seniors and three juniors with three sophomores and five freshmen. But don’t tell that to eighth year head coach Jennifer Graf. “I wouldn’t consider it a rebuilding year,” said Graf. “I know you look at the roster and see all of the young names on there, especially with the five freshmen. That’s a lot. But we return so much playing experience with Ronikka (Drake) and Jordi (James), Trudy (Armstead), Meredith (Graf), and JB (Jasmine Bradley). They all have so much time on the floor.” Those returning five players accounted for 60 percent of the Lady Demons’ scoring last season and 59 percent of the minutes played. The group combined to start 96 games in 2010-11, as James started in 28 of 30 games while Armstead started in 27 of 28. James and Armstead ranked 1-2 on the team in scoring last season – James averaging 12.2 points per game while Armstead notched 10.8 ppg. “I’ve been really proud of those two, and four of five of our other kids,” said Graf. “You can really tell how hard a player has worked over the summer – those two seniors and a handful of others, it’s just a night and day difference from last year to right now. You can tell that they’ve really dedicated themselves to be better players.”

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE
Northwestern State Southland Conference History
One of the surprises this season could be from the play of sophomore guard Tiandra Williams.
Drake is expected to run the point but will be challenged by true freshman Arianne Ausmer, who is a gifted and talented point guard. At the 2-guard, James has that position locked down while Graf will see ample playing time. James knocked down 31 three-point goals last season and connected on 102 of 124 from the free throw line.
Under the goal will be Armstead along with fellow twin tower Jasmine Upchurch (5.4 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 21 blocks). Upchurch, who stands at 6-foot-3, could be a player who makes or breaks the season. Jasmine Bradley
“The thing with Jasmine,” said Graf, “is that she can be an all-conference player one game, and not one the next. If she stays consistent with her playing like she’s capable of, that’ll be a huge boost to the type of season we can have.”

HISTORY & RECORDS
Sophomore guard Jasmine Bradley (9.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg) returns from a stellar freshman season that saw her lead the team in rebounding and steals (62). With her aggressive style of play, she can play either the inside or the outside.
2010-11 REVIEW
Williams played in just 10 games last season, mainly in mop-up duty, and scored eight points. But despite her lack of playing time, the potential of being a really good ball player was deep down. That should burst out this season.

TRUDY ARMSTEAD #31 Jr., 6-1 Forward Dallas, Texas Franklin D. Roosevelt H.S. Armstead ranked second on the team in average scoring (10.8) and rebounding (5.6) … led the team with 36 blocked shots ... started in 27 of 28 games played … scored double digit points in 15 games … scored a season-high 23 points at Louisiana Monroe … netted 20 points at home against Nicholls … scored 14 points of 6-of-10 shooting against Lamar in the first round of the Southland Conference tournament … pulled down a season-high 12 rebounds at Jackson State … battled through shin and shoulder injuries most of the season.
Head Coach Northwestern State, 2000 Eighth Year Record at NSU: 100-108 Career Record: 100-108 (8th Yr.) Graf is one of the youngest head coach in the country, coaching one of the country’s younger teams; one that features just one senior and 11 freshmen and sophomores. At the age of 33, Graf is the ideal person for that scenario. Beginning her eighth season in charge, she enters her 15th year in the Lady Demon basketball family. This is home to her. It is family. Since she headed four hours north from her parents’ home in Loranger, a half-hour east of Baton Rouge, to begin her freshman season as a Lady Demon in August, 1996, Graf has immersed herself in Natchitoches, at Northwestern State and most of all, in the Lady Demon basketball program. NSU had an 86-32 record in her four seasons as an assistant coach, including a 63-15 mark in Southland Conference play. In her four seasons (1996-2000) as a guard for Coach Smith, the Lady Demons were 64-39. In her last nine seasons with the program, NSU has six years of 22 or more victories. Graf played in 110 games for Northwestern State, winning 74, starting 48 times, including all 30 games in her senior year when she raised her free throw percentage 22 points above her career average. She was a three-time Academic All-Southland selection and won the Fellowship of Christian Athletes’ “Lady Demon of the Year” award as a senior.

Sam Houston’s 2010-11 women’s basketball season was one for the record books. As a program that had not finished among the Southland Conference’s top five teams since 2000, the Bearkats rolled up an 11-5 league record to tie with UTSA as 2011 Southland Conference West Division co-champions. Compiling an overall season mark of 17-14, Sam Houston produced its first above .500 year since the 1995-96 Bearkat squad went 18-10. In 24 years at the NCAA Division I level, Sam Houston had posted winning season marks only twice before (18-10 in 1996 and 18-9 in 1988). Sam Houston head coach Brenda Welch-Nichols was the leading scorer for that 1988 squad.

Sam Houston opened non-conference play in 2010-11 with a 6-3 record, the best start for a Sam Houston women’s season since 1991. The Bearkats jumped out to a 5-0 record in Southland action, tying the 1998 squad that also started 5-0 for the program’s best ever league start. Losing only two non-starting seniors from last year to graduation, the Bearkat women are poised to be a factor in the coming 2011-12 Southland campaign. Sam Houston is led by two returning All-Southland Conference performers. Britni Martin, a junior forward from Conroe, Texas, was a first team selection last year after ranking as the team’s leading scorer and second-leading rebounder. She begins her junior year ranked No. 16 in Sam Houston’s women’s basketball career scoring (787 points, 13.3 career average).
Senior Khamra Echols and juniors Chanice Smith and Clarke Davis also look to return as starters. Davis, a forward from Mansfield, is a skilled inside player who can score, defend and hit the boards. She averaged 19.1 minutes playing in 29 games as a sophomore in 2011.
Smith, a guard from Mansfield Timberview, owns a career average of 10.5 points and has scored in double figures in 36 contests. Other returning letter winners include sophomores Jasmine Johnson, Ashton Jones and Zoe Tucker and seniors Devin Wombles and Latisha Morgan. Khamra Echols
Newcomers include transfers Victoria Gonzales from A&M-Kingsville and Tanishia Manson from Arizona Western Junior College and freshmen Angela Beadle, Kaysean Clavelle and Jazmin Wiley.

SEASON OUTLOOK
The Bearkats’ 11-5 Southland record marked the SHSU women’s highest league victory total since 2000. The team’s third place finish in the overall Southland standings equaled the 1996 team’s performance as the program’s highest ever conference finish.

Head Coach Sam Houston State, 1989 Sixth Year Record at SHSU: 43-104 Career Record: 175-252 (17th Yr.) The Sam Houston women’s basketball program continues to reach new heights under the leadership of sixth-year head coach Brenda Welch-Nichols. When Nichols returned to her alma mater as head women’s basketball coach on August 23, 2006, there was no question the team was a work in progress. But five seasons of rebuilding efforts have paid off as Nichols’ fifth season at Sam Houston in 2010-11 turned out to be a record-breaker.
Martin was an All-Southland Conference first team selection as a sophomore … named Sam Houston Stat’s Co-Most Valuable Player … ranked No. 16 in SHSU’s women’s basketball career scoring with a total of 787 points and a 13.3 career average … leaving scorer and second-leading rebounder for the Bearkats last season … ranked second in three-point field goals made, fourth in scoring (15.9), sixth in three-point field goal percentage (35.5), seventh in assists (3.7), eighth in steals (2.1), 12th in free-throw percentage (76.2) and 20th in rebounds (5.4) … played both basketball and soccer for the Bearkats as a freshman.
SEQUEENA THOMAS #30 Jr., 6-0 Forward Allentown, Pa. Parkland H.S. Thomas was SHSU’s Co-Most Valuable Player as a sophomore … selected to the All-Southland Conference second team … ranked second in the conference in rebounds (10.3), fourth in blocked shots (1.6), eighth in scoring (14.6), and 14th in field goal percentage (42.1) … scored in double figures 24 times … posted 12 double figure rebound performances … named player of the week on Jan. 10th … earned second team Academic All-Southland Conference honors last year.
Rolling up a 17-14 overall record, Nichols’ Bearkats posted their first above .500 year since the 1995-96 squad went 18-10. The Bearkats raced to an 11-5 Southland Conference mark to tie with UTSA as 2011 Southland West Division co-champions. The title is the Bearkats’ first at the NCAA Division I level. The 11 wins marked the women’s highest league victory total since 2000. In 24 years at the NCAA Division I level, Sam Houston had posted winning women’s basketball records only twice before (18-9 in 1988 and 18-10 in 1996). The progress has been deliberate but the team has shown improvement each year. Sam Houston ranked as one of the top 15 most improved programs in NCAA women’s basketball in 2008-09. Nichols earned her bachelor’s degree in physical education from Sam Houston in 1989.

SEASON OUTLOOK With an influx of new talent to go with several key veteran returners, the Southeastern Louisiana University women’s basketball team expects to be a major factor in the Southland Conference race during the upcoming 2011-12 season. The Lady Lions only return one starter from last season’s team that advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament for the third consecutive season. However, among Southeastern’s eight newcomers are two 2010-11 NJCAA All-Americans and four true freshmen who are expected to make an immediate impact. Southeastern head women’s basketball coach Lori Davis Jones heads into her 10th season at the helm of the Lady Lion program with high hopes for her 2011-12 squad.
Jenkins is the clear starting point guard and is part of a point guard tandem that has unlimited potential. Freshman Elizabeth Styles comes to Hammond after being ranked one of South Carolina’s top high school guards and is expected to be a more than capable backup for Jenkins. “We feel very comfortable with where we are at point guard,” Jones commented. “Kelli’s our oncourt leader and we know we can count on her. She’s worked hard to continue to improve and we expect her to have an outstanding senior season. Elizabeth is one of the fastest players we’ve ever had and we expect her to play a lot of valuable minutes for us right away.”
Simmons, a native of Jackson, Miss., comes to Hammond after two highly productive seasons at Copiah-Lincoln Community College. True freshmen Summer Postell and Hillary Shaffer are expected to provide post depth, along with junior Ja’Lessia Davis and sophomore Kaitlyn Waller.
“We’re going to have a great competition for playing time among our wings,” Jones commented. “We have a lot of faith in Latoria, Jessica and Amber to do the right things on the court. That being said, our newcomers Cierra and Symone are both extremely talented and we’re going to have a hard time keeping them off the court. It’s a good problem to have. “Top to bottom, we’re more talented and athletic than we’ve been in recent years without a doubt,” Jones said. “For us to be successful, we have to come together as a team and have everyone except their roles and do the things necessary to benefit the team.”

HISTORY & RECORDS
The wing spot features three seniors – Holder, Sommers and Amber Crenshaw – who are expected to see an increase in minutes after serving as reserves last season. Added to the mix are Morris, an All-American at Rock Valley Junior College in 2010-11, and Symone Miller, one of ESPN’s top 100 high school guards in the nation.
2010-11 REVIEW
With the return of Aja Gibson and the addition of Brandi Simmons, Southeastern will perhaps field its most talented offensive post tandem of Jones’ tenure. As a reserve redshirt freshman in 2010-11, Gibson was third on the team with 7.2 points per game and dropped 32 points in an 80-73 win over A&M-Corpus Christi.
TEAM PREVIEWS
Kelli Jenkins is the lone starter back for the Lady Lions, but returns as the team’s top scorer and creator. The Plaquemine, La., native was tied for the team lead with 10.4 points per game in 201011, while ranking among the league leaders with 3.6 assists per contest.

Jones took over the reins of the Southeastern women’s basketball program prior to the 2002-03 season. In her first year at the helm, she compiled a 7-20 record in her first steps to bringing Southeastern’s program back to prominence.
Holder played 27 games off the bench last season … led the team with 39 steals … averaged 5.3 points per game … scored season-high 13 points in a win over Jackson State … debuted with a season-high seven steals in a victory over Millsaps … grabbed nine rebounds at Tulane … blocked multiple shots in three games … scored 11 points in a win at Nicholls State to help Southeastern Louisiana clinch final Southland Conference Tournament berth.
The 2005-06 season saw Jones lead the Lady Lions to their first Southland Conference Tournament berth since 2001-02. The Lady Lions rolled off a six-game win streak during the season and picked up road wins at Louisiana-Monroe and Northwestern State for the first time in three decades.
AJA GIBSON
Jones reached a milestone in a 2009-10 season that saw the Lady Lions advance to the Southland Tournament for the fourth time in five years. In a 77-50 win over Central Arkansas, she became the third head coach in the program’s history to reach 100 career wins.
So., 6-1 Forward Somerville, Tenn. Fayette Ware H.S.

SEASON OUTLOOK After a year under his belt at Stephen F. Austin State University, second-year head coach Brandon Schneider will look to lead the Ladyjacks basketball team to new heights following a 12-18 201011 season and first round exit in the conference championship tournament. The Ladyjacks will undergo a hefty roster change this season with only four returnees and nine newcomers. Headlining the returning roster is senior guard Tammara Marion, a second-team all-conference selection last season after averaging 16.1 points (third best in the Southland) and 3.3 rebounds per game. The most reliable outside shooter on the team in 2010-11, Marion connected on 72-of-198 three-point attempts for a clip of .364, both of which led the team. The Houston, Texas, native also shot a career-high percentage from the charity stripe by knocking down 88-of-100 free throws (.880), a mark that ranked second in the conference and 14th in the nation.
Stephen F. Austin Coaching History
Last year’s starting center Amina Sawyer also returns after playing in all 30 games last season, starting 21 of those. The senior led the team and finished fourth in the Southland with 1.4 blocks per game, along with 4.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.4 minutes per game. Sophomore forward Sha Turner is the youngest returnee after playing in 25 games last season as a true freshman. The Duncanville, Texas, native averaged 3.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game and will help provide some size to the Ladyjacks backcourt in 2011. Perhaps the most intriguing prospect of the Ladyjacks’ 2011-12 season will be the incorporation of one of, if not the top, recruiting classes in the conference, which includes six freshmen and two transfers. Three of the incoming prospects - Daylyn Harris, Ashley Bettis and Kyaris Johnson - are ranked as top-40 recruits in Texas according to multiple publications, while Tierany Henderson, Brittney Matthew, Iemah Wallace-Perry and Porsha Roberts bring plenty of success from their high school careers as well. Harris, a small forward, is part of a Lady Lions’ team that was ranked in the TABC top-25 to begin the 2010-11 season. She averaged nearly 20 points per game as a junior and has earned all-state honors each of the past two seasons. Stephen F. Austin went deeper into the Houston area to pluck away Channelview’s Ashley Bettis, a combo guard who averaged 14.7 points per game as a junior.
Amina Sawyer
The two transfers are sophomore Annette Davis (Kansas) and junior Wykeia Sanders (Western Texas JC). Davis played in 15 games for the Jayhawks averaging 15 minutes per game. Sanders, a post originally from Minden, La., spent a pair of years at WTC and averaged 13.2 points and 7.2 rebounds as a sophomore for the Lady Westerners as a sophomore in 2010-11.

HISTORY & RECORDS
The Ladyjacks picked up another skilled guard in point guard Kyaris Johnson. The Premier Basketball Report has her ranked as the 26th-best overall player and the 7th-best point guard the state has to offer in this year’s class. Matthew set single-season scoring record for either boys or girls as a freshman, averaging 19 points per contest. Wallace-Perry averaged 14.2 points, 2.3 assists and 2.6 steals per game as a senior.

Sr., 5-6 Guard Houston, Texas Bellaire H.S.
Head Coach Wayland Baptist, 1995 Second Year Record at SFA: 12-18 Career Record: 318-90 (14th Yr.) In his first full season as head coach of the Ladyjack basketball program, Brandon Schneider led SFA to a 12-18 overall record and a 9-7 mark in conference play. The Ladyjacks clinched a trip to the Southland Conference Championship Tournament and nearly pulled off an upset of No. 3 Central Arkansas in the first round before falling 64-58. Schneider was named head coach of the Ladyjacks on April 20, 2010. Recognized as one of the top names at the NCAA Division II level, Schneider came to Nacogdoches after a highly successful 12-year stint at Emporia State. The Canyon, Texas, native is the second all-time winningest head coach at the NCAA Division II level. Schneider came to Nacogdoches from Emporia State where he guided the Lady Hornets to a 306-72 (.810) record, and the 2010 NCAA Division II National Championship. The school’s all-time leader in wins and winning percentage, Schneider ranks among the all-time top 10 in fastest coaches to 100 victories, and third fastest among women’s basketball coaches. Schneider was a 1995 honors graduate of Wayland Baptist. During his time at Wayland, Schneider was a four-year letterman in men’s basketball and was the school’s first-ever academic All-American, capturing the honor three times.

SEASON OUTLOOK Taking stock of her team going into the season, Mavericks coach Samantha Morrow sees just that: a team. “I feel like we don’t have any superstars, but I feel like we are going to be very deep,” said Morrow, heading into her fifth season as UT Arlington’s women’s coach. “I am impressed by a couple of our freshmen that have come in. “I think our returners have realized they need to be more team-oriented and they are helping the freshmen out and mentoring them a little bit more. We do not have any seniors, so we are going to look for it to be a total team effort as far as leadership goes.” The incoming class of freshmen is led by guard Eboni Watkins who suffered a torn ACL in the state tournament, but hopefully returns by Christmas. Krioni Bruce, a forward from Mesquite, and guard Chauntandra Williams from Lufkin are also in the fold. “Eboni Watkins is trying to bounce back from an ACL surgery and if we can get her back in December, it’s going to be fantastic because she can score the ball,” Morrow said. “Krioni Bruce can score the ball. They can both shoot. It’s just adapting from the high school level.” Briana Walker returns as a sophomore after a strong freshman campaign that featured a number of double-digit scoring and rebounding efforts. The backcourt should be solid with the returns of juniors Sabreena DeNure and Kiara Parker and sophomores Michelle Rodriguez and Malaika Green. Sophomore forward Desherra Nwanguma has also made strides since last season. “If everything goes as planned, Briana Walker should become a recognizable name,” Morrow said. “I think potentially Kiara Parker is going to be very good for us. She is a little fighter and I think people will like that and see the feistiness in her. She just needs to learn when to contain it. I think people are going to be surprised at how much better Desherra Nwanguma has gotten.” Morrow is counting on DeNure and Green to run the point, take care of the ball and get to the basket. The Mavericks’ attack is designed to take advantage of strengths of all five players on the court. The Mavericks’ identity will be built on their ability to protect the basket and get downright dirty on the defensive end. “They know that’s what I love,” Morrow said. “If they want to play, they are going to have to play some defense whereas in the past I would maybe say, ‘Well, she’s going to get 15 points so she really doesn’t need to play defense.’
In order for the Mavericks to get where they want to go, it comes back to trust and coming together as one unit with a common goal.
Desherra Nwanguma
“We realize that we have to play more as a team this year,” Morrow said. “We need to be more cohesive and not depend on one or two people. Everybody has got to pull their part of the load. I think they recognize that.”

HISTORY & RECORDS
“We are trying to stress to them how important it is to get out and compete in everything. Every drill we do, whether it is in conditioning or in individuals, we are trying to make them go out there and compete. We feel like if we can get five extra loose balls or five tips here or five steals, that’s potentially 10 points. We lost a lot of games last year by seven or less.”

The Mavs took down two-time defending Southland champion UTSA in the first round and narrowly suffered a loss in the semifinals to Lamar, who went on to win the tournament title. In the 2008-09 season, the Mavs finished with a 22-11 overall record, a Southland Conference title and the schools second appearance in the WNIT since the 1998-99 season. In her first season Morrow led the Lady Mavericks to an impressive 19-10 overall record and a 13-3 mark in the Southland.

SEASON OUTLOOK After winning the Southland Conference’s West Division for the second time in the last three seasons, the UTSA women’s basketball team will look to add to its trophy case again in 2011-12 with a mixture of newcomers and veterans. Selected by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors to win the West Division, the Roadrunners return eight players from last year’s squad that finished 16-15 overall, including an 11-5 Southland mark. Joining the returners will be six newcomers that include a pair of junior college transfers. Rae Rippetoe-Blair, the longest tenured coach in school history, returns to the bench in 2011 and welcomes back Cori Cooper, Ashley Gardner, Jermini Malone, Lyndi Thorman, Ijeoma Waturuocha and Whitney Wright. In addition, Blair welcomes back a pair of all-conference performers in Whitney York and Judy Jones, both of whom missed the 2010-11 season. Blair enters the season needing just one win to reach 300 for her career while eight wins would give her 200 at UTSA. UTSA will be charged with replacing all-league performers Amber Gregg and Ashleigh Franklin along with Alysse Davis, who set the school’s single-season and career blocks record last year. The frontcourt received a boost last season with the addition of Thorman, who joined UTSA after a year at Western Illinois. The Macomb, Ill., native became a key part of the squad down the stretch. Thorman averaged 8.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in conference action, where she shot 45.9-percent.
The Bryan, Texas, native led the team with 15.0 points per game in 2009-10 and was a preseason first-team All-Southland pick a year ago before an injury in fall practice prematurely ended her campaign. York is joined by Malone, who spent much of last season among the nation’s best in assist-to-turnover ratio.
2010-11 REVIEW
While the backcourt will look different without Gregg, the school’s all-time leader in three-pointers made, the return of York will help lead an experienced group for the Roadrunners.

Waturuocha and Jones, who returns after redshirting the 2010-11 season, will also see time in the backcourt. Another versatile athlete, Jones averaged 10.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in 2009-10 and was named second-team All-Southland. At 5-9, Jones also can play small forward or provide a matchup problem for opponents in the backcourt.

SEASON OUTLOOK The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women’s basketball team will open the 2011-12 season at home against Big 12 opponent Missouri on Saturday, Nov. 12 in what looks to be an improved year for the team. The Islanders will look to make strides in the Southland Conference after falling back in the conference standings while being hindered with injuries. The 2011-12 team features seven newcomers, three freshmen and four junior college transfers, under the direction of head coach Robert Robinson. “One thing that I like especially with the new kids and the returners, that we have, is we have some depth this year that we haven’t had in the past,” Robinson said. “That is going to make practice each and every day competitive, which is exactly what you want. There will be people fighting for starting positions each and every day, which is always a positive thing.”
“Myeisha Myles’ individual workouts are looking good and the athletic and skill level is there,” Robinson said. “Once she returns back in playing shape, she will be a huge returner for us. We are expecting a lot of good things out of her.”
Taryn Gregory
Along with Jammer and Myles, the Islanders return guards Ashley Darley, Imani Dunn and Taryn Gregory, along with forwards Brandi Huff and Zoey Vega-Vega.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will look to seven newcomers, including Verne’qua Taylor to lead the team on the offensive end at the point guard position. Taylor is a junior college transfer from Blinn Junior College. The 5-6 Wharton, Texas, native averaged 9.5 points and 6.1 assists per game while at Blinn.
Sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks, who played with Taylor at Blinn, will also provide the Islanders a spark at the shooting guard position, along with junior college transfer Alisa Roberts.
Brandi Huff
“Marquesha Anderson-Sparks and Alisa Roberts can shoot the ball, which is another big need that we had coming into this season,” Robinson said. “They both have been shooting the ball very well and will be expected to have a good season for us. We are going to count on them, heavily.”

HISTORY & RECORDS
“Overall, I really like all the new kids,” Robinson said. “Each of them has their own individual talent and they bring a lot to the table at each spot. I think one of the keys for us heading into this year is the direction of our point guard. I’m very pleased with our point guard Verne’qua. She is going to have a really good year for us. We have already improved this year, not even having to play a game, with her just being our point guard.”
2010-11 REVIEW
“Jessica Jammer had an up and coming season last year,” Robinson said. “I think this could be a breakout season for her, and we will be able to play her at a set position, unlike last year, where she was having to play inside and outside for us. Limiting her to one key position will help her tremendously confidence wise and in a position to be effective.”
TEAM PREVIEWS
The Islanders return seven players, including top junior guard Jessica Jammer. Last season, Jammer averaged 8.1 points, collected 117 rebounds while starting 23 out of the 29 games. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi also will also look to senior Myeisha Myles, who was sidelined last season with an injury. As a junior Myles played in 34 of the 35 games and led the team in scoring three times during the season.

Jammer made 23 starts for 29 games played last season … averaged 8.1 points per game … collected 117 rebounds … recorded a game-high 10 rebounds against Lamar … scored a career-best 25 points against UT Pan-American … recorded double digit points six times … averaged 67.2 percent from the free throw line … made eight-of-nine from the charity stripe against UTSA … made appearances in 18 games as a freshman.
Head Coach UT Arlington, 1993 Sixth Year Record at AMCC: 64-93 Career Record: 64-93 (6th Yr.) The 2011-12 season will mark Robinson’s sixth year as the head coach of the Islanders after being named to the position after four seasons as an assistant, including two as the associate head coach under Jodi Kest. He became the head coach in 2006 and has gone on to build the team into a contender in the Southland Conference with the Islanders qualifying for the league tournament in his first four years leading the program. His fourth year saw the Islanders complete a remarkable run through the postseason before falling in the semifinals of the Women’s Basketball Invitational. The team finished the year with a 24-11 record and the most wins in school history. They finished third in the regular season league standings and advanced to the championship game of the Southland Conference Tournament for the first time in school history before finishing as the runner-up. After the conference tournament, they advanced to the WBI where they knocked off the Cal StateBakersfield Roadrunners and the Washington Huskies before falling to the Memphis Tigers. Prior to being named head coach, Robinson served as the coordinator of recruiting and academics among other duties and was successful in both areas. The Islanders amassed a 73-40 record in his four years on the bench next to Jodi Kest. Robinson guided the team to a 69-47 win over Texas-Pan American in the 2004-05 regular-season home finale in Kest’s absence.

SEASON OUTLOOK The Texas State women’s basketball team is in transition beginning in the 2011-12 season. The team has a new head coach, Zenarae Antoine, that is looking to restore the Bobcats back to prominence following two subpar campaigns. Antoine comes to San Marcos from the University of Arkansas. During her coaching career she has also made stops at Ohio and Louisville after playing for four seasons at Colorado State. On the floor, the team returns nine of 15 players from a year ago including three of five starters. Included in that group is junior All-Southland Conference Honorable Mention guard, Diamond Ford. Ford led the Bobcats with 14.3 points per game last season including a 15.6 average in Southland Conference games. She earned the school’s first Southland Conference Player of the Week honor since 2009 on Jan. 31, after posting her first two career double-doubles against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and UT-Arlington. Against the Islanders she made the go-ahead free throws with 1.0 seconds in overtime to give Texas State its first conference win of the 2011 season. The effort was part of a 13-of 13 effort for her from the free throw line that night. Helping Ford on the offensive end will be seniors Kelsey Krupa and Verinus Kalu. Krupa was the team’s best three-point shooter last year, converting at a clip of .355 (27-of-76). Kalu is known as one of the Bobcats’ best rebounders along with being a high energy defensive player. She was second on the team in offensive rebounds last year, with 53 total and grabbed a team-high 32 steals. Her most entertaining play of the year came against Nicholls on Feb. 5, in Thibodeux. Verinus went for a steal on a sidelines inbound pass. She overran the play and as Nicholls was streaking down court, Kalu ran behind the scorers’ table along the stands to catch up to the play along the baseline and intercept the ball. Kalu then led a fastbreak attempt which resulted in then-senior Chika Ofoegbu going to the line.
Kelsey Krupa
The Bobcats’ schedule sets up to be favorable early on with four of the first five games at home before a tough road stretch sees them play four of their next five on the road, including visits to Lubbock, Texas, to take on Texas Tech along with a game at Rice that begins a stretch of three road games in five days. Another notable game in the team’s nonconference schedule is a New Year’s Eve date in El Paso, Texas, against UTEP. The tests of the nonconference schedule will do well to prepare Texas State which must go on the road against all three postseason qualifiers in the Southland from last season. The Bobcats travel to NCAA qualifier McNeese State on Jan. 14, WBI invitee Central Arkansas on Feb. 8 and finally 2011 WNIT participant Lamar on Feb. 29.

HISTORY & RECORDS
Down low the Bobcats are relying on Ashley Ezeh to step up after a promising freshman season. The big post player, had the only 20/10 game of the year for the Bobcats, scoring 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds against Southwestern Assemblies of God on Dec. 7. She had six games in which she grabbed seven or more boards. Splitting time with her at the center position will be senior Monica McGill. The 6-3 forward has been working hard in preseason workouts and is looking to show the new coaching staff what she can do.
2010-11 REVIEW
Along with the returners mentioned, the team has high hopes for redshirt sophomores Taylor McGilbra, Kaylan Martin and Shelby Calabrese, along with true freshman forward Allyson Terry. McGilbra and Martin will compete with senior India Johnson for playing time at the point, while Calabrese will join the rotation of Ford and Krupa at the “2”. McGilbra comes to San Marcos after playing at Boise State in 2009-10, while Martin played at the University of Evansville that same year and Calabrese was at Hardin Simmons.
