2014-15 outlook #TOBECONTINUED From LaChina Robinson calling senior Chastity Gooch “one of the best players in the nation,” to Rebecca Lobo calling the Lady Toppers one of the teams to watch for in the opening round of the tournament, the national media has again taken notice of the women’s basketball program in Bowling Green, Ky. Just three seasons ago though, WKU had completed a 9-21 season with freshmen Ileana Johnson, Chastity Gooch and Alexis Govan completing their first year on the Hill. Now seniors, the trio are ready to take a major step forward in continuing the proud legacy of Lady Topper Basketball and putting their own final imprints into the re-emergence of the proud program. The program rides into a new season with the mindset of #ToBeContinued, a nod to the continuing reemergence of the team and a tip of the hat to the ever growing history of Lady Topper Basketball. “It means to me, as a senior and #ToBeContinued being our motto this year, that what we started is going to be continued,” said Alexis Govan. “There is a legacy that is definitely going to be left from us. There is a history that is going to keep growing, that started way before us and that we got to put our foot in and it’s going to keep growing.” “It means a lot. I remember them telling me about the Final Fours and the championship history here throughout my recruiting process,” said Govan. “It had been a long time since they had won so to be part of a team that got to be part of a conference title and got to be in the NCAA Tournament is a great thing
and is special. WKU is special. To be part of getting it back to the old days is really special.” WKU’s 13-win improvement between the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons set a new conference record. The eight win improvement amongst conference games was tied for the league record. WKU also became the first team in Sun Belt Conference history to win 20 games in the season following a year in which the team won less than 10 games with the 22-win season in 2012-13. On a national scale, the 13-win improvement tied for the fourth largest in the nation. Texas Southern had the best improvement in the nation by going from five wins to 20 wins between 2011-12 to 2012-13. “We need to keep continuing with success,” said Kendall Noble. “We ended last season on a really good run and we want it to carry over into the upcoming season.” The program continued to take giant leaps forward in 2013-14 with an NCAA Tournament appeararnce and Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship, the 10th in program history for the Lady Toppers in their final season as a member of the league. Last season, Clark-Heard posted her first win over a team from a “Power Five” conference and it came in dramatic fashion as WKU erased a 14-point second half deficit and scored seven points in the final 14.1 seconds, including a steal and layup by Alexis Govan with 2.1 remaining to break a late 55-55 tie and beat Georgetown. The non-conference season also included a 74-61 loss to fourth ranked Louisville in E.A. Diddle Arena in front of a season-best 3,725 fans.
After being #OnTheRise in 2012-13 and #ClimbingTheLadder in 2013-14, the Lady Toppers story is #ToBeContinued in 2014-15, a reflection of the current upswing of the program and a sign of respect to the proud tradition of the Lady Topper Basketball program that has seen the program reach three Final Fours and claim 10 conference tournament titles alongside the honoring of 25 All-Americans in program history.

“Our relationships make us special,” said Micah Jones. “We can yell at each other on the court, and going back to chemistry, we are not going to get mad at each other.”
Following the season, Gooch earned Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second-straight season while Noble was named the league’s Freshman of the Year. Gooch was also a WBCA All-Region selection and a CollegeSportsMadness. com Mid-Major All-American selection. After all the success of the 2013-14 season, the team wants to continue its march to prominence. “It means we don’t want to go backwards,” said Micah Jones. “We have had two successful seasons since Coach Clark-Heard got here, and we want to make sure to not go backwards and keep getting better.”
Senior guard Alexis Govan was one of the national leaders in scoring as a sophomore in 2012-13, but a mid-season injury in 2013-14 slowed her record-setting scoring pace. Govan returns to the court in 2014-15 looking to return to the NCAA Tournament make a mark in WKU’s first season as a member of Conference USA.

The team has bonded well through time on campus during the summer and some demanding travel over the last two seasons. WKU will have played in at least 14 different states, plus Puerto Rico, during the Michelle Clark-Heard era at the conculsion of the upcoming regular season.
UNIVERSITY
“We have developed better chemistry,” said Noble. With the freshmen, I think everyone gets along. We have a bit of a different mindset. We made it to the tournament last year and now we have a strong focus on making it back.”
HISTORY
WKU was given a 15-seed for the NCAA Tournament and placed in the South Bend Regional to face fifthranked Baylor at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. The Lady Toppers fought valiantly, taking a lead late in the first half and cutting the deficit to five at 70-65 in the second half before placing a scare in the Lady Bears and falling 87-74. Gooch and Noble made their names known on a national level in the contest, as Gooch scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds while Noble had 21 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. The play of Wade Trophy winner Odyssey Sims (31 points) and freshman All-American Nina Davis (32 points, 10 rebounds on 11-of-13 shooting) were too much for the Lady Toppers to handle in the end.
“I think our chemistry is even better this year,” said Micah Jones. “This year it is off the charts. The freshmen came in and worked really hard and everyone else has gotten better. Adding the freshmen has only helped us. Everyone is working hard and now we have a big challenge ahead. Everyone is excited about that challenge… We spend a whole lot of time together. There is no fighting or bickering. Everyone understands each other. We play a lot of pickup and we all understand how everyone plays. Hopefully we will continue to do that.”
2013-14 REVIEW
After facing a 14-point second half deficit, WKU scored 18 of the final 22 points of the game to beat the Red Wolves, marking the fourth time during the 2013-14 season that WKU had overcome a double-digit deficit to win a game. Chastity Gooch had 26 points and 12 rebounds to lead WKU while redshirt freshman Kendall Noble hit a layup with 1:21 remaining in the game that would become the difference maker in the one-point win. Noble finished with 12 points.
Much of the success in 2014-15 will be tied to the close-knit group that Coach Michelle Clark-Heard has assembled.
LADY TOPPERS
Having gotten a taste of postseason success a year earlier with a Women’s NIT win over East Carolina in overtime, the Lady Toppers found their postseason groove in New Orleans, posting wins over LouisianaLafayette (67-61 on March 12) and UALR (66-62 on March 14) to setup a rematch between the top two seeds in the tournament, a battle against Arkansas State.
CHEMISTRY NOT AN ISSUE FOR LADY TOPPERS GENERAL
Riding a seven-game winning streak into the Sun Belt Conference Championships, the Lady Toppers were seeded second in the field and faced a difficult journey to the championship. WKU responded by putting together three tight wins to earn the Sun Belt Conference’s automatic bid into the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
2014-15 outlook “Off the court,” said Gooch, “it is amazing how we get along with one another. The chemistry is really good on the team.” “We have a lot of experience, we have some newcomers,” said Alexis Govan. “What makes us special has nothing to do with the basketball aspect though, it’s that we trust each other off the court. We want the best for each other off the court, which translates on the court. When you have a good relationship with your teammates and you truly care for each other, it will show on the court. Our bond is what is really special.” IMPROVING ON NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCE IS PRIORITY FOR LADY TOPPERS
are supposed to play their role and be great at it. It is expected now. We know we are good and we have to go out and show everyone that and let (the fans, the media, national perception) buy into that, just like we have.” The program also is looking to build back the fan base that once regularly sold out games in E.A. Diddle Arena. “I thank them for all the support,” said Alexis Govan. “To come from what we were as freshmen and for them to have faith to see what we were becoming and are, we couldn’t be more appreciative of them. Keep coming and keep supporting, it is only going to get better.”
The team has its sights set on establishing itself as a power in Conference USA from the start and improving on its NCAA Tournament appearance from a year ago.
CLARK-HEARD HAS THE PRIDE BACK AT WKU
“I just want to help my team get back to the NCAA Tournament, win the games we are supposed to win,” said Chastity Gooch. “Playing at Baylor is one of the best feelings in the world. I want to be able to experience that again, especially for Alexis.”
Now the WKU graduate has the program back on the road to national prominence. Clark-Heard became one of just 56 coaches in NCAA history to lead their alma mater to the NCAA Division One Women’s Basketball Tournament and one of three to join the list in 2013-14 when she helped lead the Lady Toppers back to the NCAA Tournament in 2014.
Taking Baylor to the brink last season in the NCAA Tournament put the nation on notice and gave the Lady Toppers a boatload of confidence heading into the new season. “The Baylor game gave us a lot of confidence,” said Chastity Gooch. “Coach was talking to us about the difference in being cocky and confident and going into this season, we need to be confident.” “Since the Baylor game, everyone has realized that we can do this,” said Alexis Govan. “It helped us get a mentality that we are supposed to be good, we are supposed to win games. Everyone knows that they

Not many coaches have the chance to hold the unique “dream job” of coaching their alma mater.
“What Michelle Clark-Heard has done is instilled pride back in Western Kentucky,” said ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck during the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. “It had become a state where (Kentucky’s) Matthew Mitchell and (Louisville’s) Jeff Walz were really owning the state in recruiting. Now with Michelle Clark-Heard, with the passion and pride she has, because she was a player at Western Kentucky, she is bringing that back to Bowling Green.” WKU became one of only five schools to have multiple graduates come back to the program and lead their alma maters to the tournament. The others are USC, Creighton, Oregon State and Louisiana Tech. Alongside her former teammate Mary Taylor-Cowles, Michelle Clark-Heard joined the USC duo of Cynthia Cooper-Dyke and Cheryl Miller as the only teammates in NCAA history to return to their alma mater and lead their teams to the NCAA Tournament as head coaches. The acolades are of little importance compared to the praise of her players, who have responded to her individual player development. “I love that Coach is going to challenge you every day, in every aspect, on and off the court,” said Alexis Govan. “She challenges us all to be better people, to grow and to show our personalities. On the court, she

SCHEDULE
If the team advances, potential matchups with Colorado and Penn State could follow. “It is a big deal,” said Micah Jones. “It is going to show us how good we are right off the bat as soon as the season starts.” Following the Preseason WNIT, the Lady Toppers will travel to the KFC Yum! Center for the first time in program history to face off against Louisville, an Elite Eight team in 2013-14 and national runners-up in 2012-13. Additional non-conference highlights include a matchup with Southeastern Conference foe Ole Miss in E.A. Diddle Arena and road games at regional opponents Austin Peay and Belmont. “We are changing conferences and the competition is going to be a lot tougher,” said Jones. “Our nonconference schedule is tough. The WNIT is going to be a lot of challenging games for us. We have to be prepared, every game is going to come down to the wire.”
Senior Chastity Gooch, a 2013-14 WBCA All-American Honorable Mention selection, will enter her final season at WKU as the active career scoring leader in Conference USA. She enters the 2014-15 season ranked 18th in program history in career points with 1,322. She is one of two active WKU players that are members of the 1,000 point club at WKU.
The Lady Toppers will make their Conference USA debut on Thursday, Jan. 4 when the team travels to Marshall to begin a three-game conference road swing to open league play. The team will also visit Charlotte (Jan. 8) and Old Dominion (Jan. 10) during the stretch. WKU will host its first league game in E.A. Diddle Are-

“It is a big opportunity to let people know who we are, to get more exposure and to get some of our young players some great experience to play in a great event and do it at the highest level,” said Alexis Govan. “It is a big opportunity for us, I am excited… We get to play our first game of the year at home and get our fan base behind us. It is going to benefit us in the long run for the season. Hopefully it will get people in the stands for the entire year.”

Jones was challenged by Clark-Heard during the offseason leading into the 2013-14 season to become the best shooter in the conference and Jones responded by increasing her scoring average by 4.4 points per game and her shooting average and threepoint average by over 10 percent each.
The Lady Toppers will open the season on Nov. 14 with Central Arkansas in the opening round of the 2014 Preseason WNIT in E.A. Diddle Arena.

“I think she has been great,” said Micah Jones. “She hit the ground running when she got here and she has been successful ever since. We have improved every year since she got here to WKU and I hope we keep doing that.”
With the move to Conference USA, the Lady Toppers have also increased their strength of schedule in nonconference play with the league likely becoming a multi-bid league with the depth of the conference.
2013-14 REVIEW
Govan is among those who have enjoyed the most improvement as a player under Clark-Heard’s guidance. Govan saw her scoring average increase by 13.7 points per contest while seeing her field goal shooting rise by .086 and three-point field goal percentage jump by .274 between her freshman and sophomore seasons once Clark-Heard arrived back on the Hill.

2014-15 outlook na on Thursday, Jan. 15 when Florida Atlantic comes to town. It will cap the weekend by hosting FIU on Saturday, Jan. 17 before embarking on the first of two, two-game swings to the Lone Star State. WKU travels to UTEP (Jan. 22) and UTSA (Jan. 24) in a homecoming for Lady Toppers Alexis Govan and Aleeya Harris. WKU will host LA Tech and first-year head coach Tyler Summitt, the son of legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, on Jan. 29 before entertaining Southern Miss on Jan. 31. WKU returns to Texas for the second time in three weeks the following week to face North Texas (Feb. 5) and Rice (Feb. 7). The Lady Toppers will then play five of their final seven games of the regular season at home, beginning with Marshall on Feb. 14 and UAB on Feb. 19. WKU will then renew its rivalry with Middle Tennessee on Feb. 21 in E.A. Diddle Arena in the only scheduled meeting between the teams this season. WKU then heads south to face Florida Atlantic (Feb. 26 in Boca Raton, Fla.) and FIU (Feb. 28 in Miami, Fla.) before returning home to close the season with Charlotte (March 5) and Old Dominion (March 7). The game with Old Dominion will mark the final home game for seniors Chastity Gooch, Ileana Johnson and Govan. “It is definitely a tougher schedule than we have seen in the last three years I have been here,” said Govan. “We play a lot of big time teams early in the season and the conference is going to be much tougher. We are excited about the chance to perform against some of these marquee teams on our schedule and show people that we are getting back to where this program used to be.”
GROWING DEPTH The youth that enjoyed the largest turnaround in Sun Belt Conference history during the 2012-13 season and continued to grow during a successful 2013-14 will finally enjoy a dose of depth during the upcoming season. Seven of the nine players on the WKU roster returning with playing experience have a career start under their belt with the group posting a combined 474 career games played and 269 career starts. In comparison, WKU had just 50 career starts under their belts entering Clark-Heard’s first season at WKU in 2012-13. It is a far stretch from the extremely short roster WKU had to work with in 2012-13 and limited lineup in 2013-14. WKU was one of three teams in the nation to have two sophomores each play at least 84 percent of their teams minutes during the 2012-13 season. Chastity Gooch ranked 11th in the nation among sophomores by playing 87.40 percent of the possible minutes played a year ago while Alexis Govan ranked 22nd among sophomores at 84.91 percent. “I am getting old, up there in age,” said Gooch, who played 32.4 minutes per game last year and 35.1 minutes per contest two years ago. “It helps a lot knowing that I can go 100 percent for the amount of time I am in the game and know someone on the bench can come in and help me out. It is very different. My sophomore year, I played most of the game. It wears on you, especially towards the end of the season.” “I think it is great (to have depth),” said Kendall Noble. “You can play hard the entire time you are in. You don’t have to save energy for the final minutes of the game. It is important so our bodies can go a whole season. I’ve been feeling old for a while. You don’t think about it when you are playing, but you realize how you feel at the beginning of the season and at the end of the season and its different.” Noble averaged 32.0 minutes per game last season and played 37 minutes or more in seven games, including all 45 minutes in an overtime game at Arkansas State and all 40 minutes against Baylor in the NCAA Tournament.
Junior guard Micah Jones became one of the top shooters in the conference last season after being challenged in the offseason to perform at the top of the league standings. The three-point threat has established herself as one of the top shooters in WKU history after making drastic improvement in her shooting percentages last season.

“Depth is awesome,” said Micah Jones. “It just means you can go out there and give it your all every second you are out there because you know you have a sub. In practice, your spot isn’t given to you, but there are people knocking on the door to take it.”
to be continued... Her efforts over the last two seasons have positioned her to finish her career among the top players in program history.
“I have been working on my outside shot a little bit more and my ball handling has gotten a little bit better in the offseason,” said Gooch.
No one improved their stock on a national level during the 2013-14 postseason like WKU senior AllAmerican candidate Chastity Gooch. “Chastity Gooch has given me every reason to believe she is one of the best players in the nation,” said ESPN analyst LaChina Robinson during WKU’s conference championship game win over Arkansas State last year.
“Chastity is going to come work hard every day,” said teammate Micah Jones. “You are never going to hear her complain. She is going hard in the weight room. She is going to take care of business in the classroom and she is going to show up at practice everyday.” Gooch also enters the 2014-15 season as the active leading scorer in Conference USA and among the top 20 in the nation.
Gooch enjoyed a prolific season on the court in 201314, earning Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second consecutive season, becoming just the second player in league history to win the award in back-to-back seasons. Gooch is the only Lady Topper player to win the award in program history. The honor was first handed out in 1996-97. “She does everything well,” said Kendall Noble. “You can’t stop her really. She is so strong and skilled. She is like a guard in a post players body. It is a major improvement from the 2011-12 campaign in which she averaged just 6.1 points per outing while playing 22.1 minutes and shooting just 35.5 percent. “Chastity has come a long way,” said Alexis Govan. “Everyone sees the player she is now, but not many people know what it was like for her as a freshman. She has bought into working out and staying extra, doing the extra running. It has paid off. You can really tell she has bought in and is committed to being the best on the court. We knew she could do it in the post, but now she can step out and shoot it consistently,
“Chastity Gooch has given me every reason to believe she is one of the best players in the nation,” said ESPN analyst LaChina Robinson during WKU’s conference championship game win over Arkansas State last year.

In 2012-13, Govan became one of only seven players to play over 1,100 minutes during the course of a single season in program history as she registered 1,125 minutes played.
Despite continuing to extend her range, Gooch maintained a 51.2 percent shooting clip and hit 21-of-48 shots from behind the three-point arc last season.
HISTORY
Govan may be the biggest beneficiary of WKU’s improved depth. Coming off a season in which she missed all 18 conference games and the postseason due to a fractured left tibia, Govan continues to rehab as a preventative measure to avoid future injuries.
She has the third most rebounds of any player in program history entering their senior season and the sixth most points of any player in program history entering their senior season. Of the five players to enter their senior season with more points than Gooch, all finished in the top seven in program history in scoring with four of the five finishing as the top four scorers in program history.
2013-14 REVIEW
“It is a big difference,” said Alexis Govan. “When you are a player, you love to play a lot of minutes. You don’t really feel how bad it is on your body until afterwards. I think now, it is going to be great for many of us that play a lot of minutes in the last couple years. It is what I need. I am glad we have depth and everyone is capable of doing everything.

2014-15 outlook GOVAN HOPES TO RETURN TO ALL-AMERICAN STATUS OF SOPHOMORE SEASON Senior All-American candidate Alexis Govan played in just 11 games in 2013-14 due to a stress fracture in her left tibia. She played in every non-conference game before the injury caused her to miss the remainder of the season, including all 18 conference games, the three conference tournament games and the NCAA Tournament game with Baylor. “I am glad to see her back and she is working hard everyday,” said Micah Jones. “She is continuing to work hard everyday to stay healthy. She is one of the leaders of this team. She is always going to be there vocally. You can follow her actions or what she says. She is going to be a leader in every type of way.” “She is a really good leader and is really skilled,” said Kendall Noble. “She plays hard all the time and knows how to score.” Govan averaged 16.5 points in 11 starts for WKU. She shot over 43 percent from the field and piled up 4.6 rebounds per game. WKU was 8-3 with Govan in the lineup. Her last action came on Dec. 21, 2013, when she hit the game-winning shot in the final seconds against Georgetown to cap a 16-point comeback win in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the Puerto Rico Classic. Following her big basket against Georgetown, Govan found a new role for the Lady Toppers from the first seat on the WKU bench.
“At that time I was finding myself for my junior year and leaving my sophomore year behind,” said Govan. “From there, it is only looking into the future. Now I am playing in the moment and know that any second, I might not play again. Now I cherish every play, every defensive stop. Everything is just more meaningful now. “ The time sitting on the bench was a valuable one for the emerging senior. “I learned a lot,” said Govan. “The greatest thing I learned is how the coaches see us. When the coaches get on us, you just see it from the player point of view that they are getting on us for something we can’t control. But I see it now, I see that when they get on us what exactly it is that we are doing. We really aren’t doing things and we need to talk more or lead more. It taught me that I need to be a better leader all around.” NOBLE BECAME ONE OF NATION’S MOST VERSATILE PLAYERS AS A REDSHIRT FRESHMAN With Alexis Govan on the bench due to injury during much of the 2013-14 season, WKU needed a scorer to make up for the absence of one of the nation’s leaders in the category. “I realized that I needed to step up for us to be successful, so that is what I did,” said Kendall Noble. “When Alexis was still playing, I was just out there playing. I wasn’t being aggressive. “When Alexis went out, that was a lot of points we had to make up for. I had to be offensive minded and aggressive.” Noble quickly made adjustments in her game that would make her among the most versatile players in the nation. She finished the season as the only freshman in the nation averaging at least 10.0 points per game, 5.0 rebounds per game, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per contest in conference play last year. Noble finished her redshirt freshman campaign with 342 points, an average of 11.0 per game. In program history, Noble is one of just 11 players to reach 275 points or more during their freshman season at WKU. She finished the year ranked seventh in WKU history for WKU freshmen. All-time leading scorer Crystal Kelly owns the WKU record for points by a freshmen with 579.
Freshmen Jaiveonna Norris (34), Ivy Brown (23) and Tashia Brown (10) make up WKU’s incoming freshmen class that was ranked among the top 80 classes in the nation. Ivy Brown was named Kentucky’s Miss Basketball in 2014 while Tashia Brown flew under the radar on the recruiting trail and nearly led her high school team to a state championship during the 2013-14 season.

WKU was 9-21 in 2011-12 before rebounding to post a 22-11 record in 2012-13 and a 24-9 record in 2013-14. WKU has won 20 games or more in 27 of the last 38 seasons. By reaching 20 wins in 2013-14, WKU recorded back-to-back 20 win seasons for the first time since recording six straight 20-win seasons from 2002-03 through 2007-08.
WKU has been extremely successful playing away from home recently, posting a 13-6 mark in games played away from home last season. WKU won its last six games played away from home entering the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Chastity Gooch has helped lead a WKU resurgence on the road. WKU was 13-6 in games played away from home last season, including a strong showing at fifth-ranked Baylor in Waco, Texas.

OFFSEASON NOTEBOOK COLLINS PROMOTED TO ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH Western Kentucky University Lady Topper Basketball assistant coach Greg Collins was promoted to associate head coach during the summer of 2014. “This is a well-deserved and well-earned promotion for Coach Collins,” said head coach Michelle ClarkHeard. “He has been an amazing asset to me over the last two seasons in helping us reestablish this program as a national name on the recruiting trail and on the court. His background in this state as well as working with some of the top names in women’s basketball at the college level as a coach and at the WNBA level as a scout are invaluable to this program. He has been so important to the individual development of our players. The strides that they have made in such a short amount of time is a testament to his ability to teach the game. He is such a major part of helping us take the next steps forward towards success in Conference USA and in advancing in the NCAA Tournament.” The 2014-15 season will mark Collins’ third season on Clark-Heard’s WKU staff. Collins has been a key component of WKU’s quick turnaround that saw WKU become the first team in league history to win 20 games in consecutive seasons after winning less than 10 in the previous season. WKU also claimed a Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship and appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008 during Collins’ first two seasons at WKU. His presence has also been felt on the recruiting trail where he helped WKU secure a top 100 signing class in 2014, including the signing of Kentucky Miss Basketball Ivy Brown.

media exposure Lady Topper Basketball was at the forefront of national coverage during their tournament championship win and NCAA Tournament appearance last season. ESPN’s Saturday morning leadoff of NCAA Tournament coverage led with a WKU mention, putting WKU as a legitimate contender to win an opening round game of the NCAA Tournament despite being a 15 seed in the event. “In the late window, I am looking at Baylor and Western Kentucky,” said ESPN analyst Rebecca Lobo. “It is interesting to see some of these top seeds after a long layoff since their conference championship game, how ready they are to play. Western Kentucky has Chastity Gooch, one of my favorite players. Six-one, can hit the three-ball, this kid can really play.” WKU has a long history of appearing on national television. WKU’s 1992 national semifinal game with CBS remains the highest-rated national semifinal in CBS broadcasting history for women’s college basketball, earning a 6.2 rating and 19 share, seen in over 5.7 million homes. It remains the mostwatched game on CBS in the 1990’s for a women’s college basketball game in the Final Four. With an on-campus public television studio, WKU regularly appears on national, regional and local television. Nearly every Lady Topper Basketball game, at home and on the road, is available via television or webcast. All games are broadcast via radio and available online.

MICHELLE
CLARK-HEARD HEAD COACH HEAD COACH | THIRD YEAR AT WKU | WKU ‘90 Michelle Clark-Heard has quickly shaped the Western Kentucky University women’s basketball program back into a national name, putting the Lady Toppers back on the map after winning a Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship and reaching the NCAA Tournament in just her second season leading her alma mater. “What Michelle Clark-Heard has done is instilled pride back in Western Kentucky,” said ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck during WKU’s first NCAA Tournament game under Clark-Heard’s direction. “...Now with Michelle Clark-Heard, with the passion and pride she has, because she was a player at Western Kentucky, she is bringing that back to Bowling Green.” In two seasons, Clark-Heard has won 46 games, one shy of the best two-year mark to start a WKU career. Her consecutive 20win seasons to begin her time at WKU marked the first time in Sun Belt Conference history that a team had won 20 games in back-to-back years following a season in which it had won less than 10 games. Clark-Heard helped WKU win its final seven regular season games before reeling off three straight in New Orleans, La., in March 2014 to win the Sun Belt Conference Championships with a 61-60 win over Arkansas State after WKU faced a 14-point deficit in the second half. The season also saw WKU defeat Georgetown in the Puerto Rico Classic after facing a 16-point deficit in the second half. The season was capped by a 87-74 loss to fifth-ranked Baylor in Waco, Texas, in the opening round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament, ending the longest NCAA Tournament appearance drought in program history. It also showcased

Clark-Heard spent five years as an assistant coach to Jeff Walz at Louisville. During her time with the program, the Cardinals made three Sweet 16 appearances and made their first Final Four appearance, finishing as the National Runner-Up in 2009. A roster she helped build also reached the Final Four in 2013 after beating No. 1 Baylor and national power Tennessee in the regional semifinals and finals. Clark-Heard was instrumental in bringing in the No. 12 recruiting class in 2008, then followed with three consecutive Top 10 classes in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The 2010 recruiting class was the highest ranked class in school history, ranked fifth in the nation.
The Louisville native earned Kentucky High School State Player of the Year honors in 1986 while playing at Atherton High School and was inducted into the Atherton Hall of Fame in 2003. She was married on Aug. 16, 2003, to Luther Heard.
Among the most notable players Clark-Heard coached at Louisville was overall number one pick in the 2009 WNBA Draft, Angel McCoughtry. In 2014, Clark-Heard added Louisville alums Shoni Schimmel, Asia Taylor and Antonita Slaughter to the list of players she has coached that went on to become WNBA Draft Picks. Schimmel would go on to win WNBA All-Star game MVP honors during her rookie season in the league. Prior to her time at Louisville, Clark-Heard spent two seasons as the head coach at Kentucky State, taking the reigns of the program in June 2005. She took over a program that had won just one game during the 2004-05 season. In her first season she led the Thorobrettes to a 5-23 record, four of the wins were against Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

OPPONENTS
As a player at WKU, Clark-Heard was part of four NCAA Tournament teams during her career. In addition, she has been on the bench as an assistant coach with seven other NCAA Tournament teams.
Upon graduation from WKU, she spent eight years working within a recreational setting, five in Bowling Green and three with the Louisville Metro Parks Department. While in Louisville, she also served as head junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach at DuPont Manual High School for the 1994-95 seasons and played professionally with the Kentucky Marauders of the Women’s Basketball Association in 1994-95.
UNIVERSITY
Her first season at WKU also showcased her ability to develop players. The duo of Chastity Gooch and Alexis Govan averaged a combined 12.7 ppg in 2011-12 but posted 36.5 per outing in 2012-13. The duo combined for 1,203 points after posting 381 last season. The team also saw major improvement in nearly all statistical categories, including improving free throw shooting by over 11 percent to .739, the third highest mark in school history.
A four-year letterwinner on the Hill (1987-90), Clark-Heard was part of four NCAA Tournament teams during her Lady Topper career. She also helped guide the Lady Toppers to a pair of Sun Belt Conference Tournament championships (1988 and 1989) and two conference regular-season titles (1989 and 1990). She played in 118 games during her four years in the Hill, scoring 790 points and pulling down 615 rebounds. WKU amassed 89 victories during her four years in uniform, winning 70 percent of the games over that span and putting together three 20-win seasons.
HISTORY
Among her most notable accomplishments during the season were leading the team to the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Championships, a berth in the Women’s NIT and becoming the first coach to lead a WKU team to 10 road wins in a season since 1990-91.
Before being named head coach at Kentucky State, ClarkHeard spent three seasons at Cincinnati as an assistant and four years at Nebraska in the same role. The Bearcats advanced to postseason play in two of her three seasons there while she helped Nebraska reach the NCAA Tournament twice during her time with the team. She was also responsible for helping sign McDonald’s All-American Janice Bright for the Cornhuskers in 2001 while coaching alongside current Louisville coach Jeff Walz and under former WKU coach Paul Sanderford.
2013-14 REVIEW
In her first year as a Division One coach, Clark-Heard helped WKU to a 13-win improvement over the 2011-12 season output. It was the largest in Sun Belt Conference history as WKU turned a 9-21 mark into a 22-11 record. WKU’s eight win improvement in conference play from five wins to 13 wins was tied for the largest in league history. The Lady Toppers also became the first team in Sun Belt Conference history to win 20 games in the season following a year in which the team won less than 10 games earlier this season.

GREG COLLINS ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH THIRD YEAR AT WKU | LOUISVILLE ‘88 Greg Collins will enter his third season on the WKU staff and first as associate head coach at WKU in 2014-15. Collins has been a key component of WKU’s quick turnaround that saw WKU become the first team in league history to win 20 games in consecutive seasons after winning less than 10 in the previous season. WKU also claimed a Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship and appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008 during Collins’ first two seasons at WKU. His presence has also been felt on the recruiting trail where he helped WKU secure a top 100 signing class in 2014, including Kentucky Miss Basketball Ivy Brown. Prior to coming to WKU, Collins spent five seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas. The Razorbacks finished 24-9 in his final year with the team in 2011-12, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Collins also helped guide Arkansas to WNIT appearances in both 2009 and 2011. His impact also extended into recruiting where he was key in signing the highest ranked player in the Razorbacks’ top 25 class of 2008 - Louisville native C’eira Ricketts. Rickets was named SEC Freshman of the Year following her first season, and went on to become an Associated Press All-America selection. Prior to going to Fayetteville under head coach Tom Collen, Collins was on the staff for five seasons at Louisville. The Cardinals made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances during that time, and earned the program’s first-ever Top 25 ranking. U of L won 70 percent of its games during Collins’ tenure. Collins was responsible for the development of the U of L post players, helping develop a pair of WNBA draft picks in Lori Nero and Jazz Covington.

The Derek Smith All-Stars were ranked as one of the Top 15 adidas programs nationally and 16 players earned Division I scholarships. Prior to his stint at Manual High School, Collins was a varsity assistant at North Bullitt High School. He also developed the North Bullitt Swoosh AAU program. Collins also served as an advance scout for the WNBA’s New York Liberty, and contributes to the Five Star Basketball play and drill books.

2013-14 IN REVIEW After posting the Sun Belt Conference’s largest single season turnaround in league history and earning a bid to the 2013 Women’s NIT, the 2013-14 edition of Lady Topper Basketball had high expectations as it continued the climb back to the ranks of the nation’s elite. With the motto of #ClimbingTheLadder, the Lady Toppers hoped to continue their climb back to prominence, with the hopes of climbing to the top of the ladder to cut down the nets in the process. WKU went 8-3 in non-conference play, posting wins over in-state foes including Murray State, Northern Kentucky and Morehead State before heading to San Juan, Puerto Rico and getting wins over Belmont and Georgetown. The win over the Hoyas came in dramatic fashion as WKU erased a 16-point second half deficit and scored seven points in the final 14.1 seconds, including a steal and layup by Alexis Govan with 2.1 remaining to break a late 55-55 tie. Govan scored eight points in the final 3:16 to help WKU post the come-from-behind win over Georgetown. Govan finished with 17 points, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals. The Lady Toppers fell behind by 16 points early in the second half at 35-19 and 37-21 before making a big comeback to cut the Georgetown lead to five at 45-40. Senior guard Bianca McGee was a key part of the Lady Topper comeback, hitting four three-point field goals in the second half, including a three with 9.1 remaining to tie the game at 55, setting up Govan’s dramatic steal at halfcourt and basket to win the game. In addition to Govan and McGee’s efforts, freshman center Bria Gaines excelled in the post for WKU, grabbing 12 rebounds and scoring 10 points.
LADY TOPPER WIN STREAK WKU won 10 of its final 11 games of the 2013-14 season, including the final seven games of the regular season before sweeping three games in the conference tournament and winning the 2014 Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship in New Orleans, La. 2-12 2-15 2-22 2-26 3-1 3-5 3-8 3-12 3-14 3-15 3-22

Micah Jones made major strides on the court after being challenged in the offseason to be the best three-point shooter in the Sun Belt Conference by Michelle Clark-Heard. Jones finished the regular season with the top three-point field goal percentage in conference play and with the third highest overall percentage for the season (.407).
The non-conference season also included a 74-61 loss to fourth-ranked Louisville in E.A. Diddle Arena in front of a season-best 3,725 fans. It marked the first matchup between former coaching collegues and Paul Sanderford pupils Michelle Clark-Heard and Jeff Walz. The Lady Toppers opened conference play with the disappointment that they would be playing without the league’s Preseason Player of the Year, Govan, due to a stress fracture in her left tibia. The Lady Toppers lost their first league game to South Alabama before winning six of their next seven league contests. The seven-game stretch included breakout performances from redshirt freshman Kendall Noble. Noble had 20 points, seven assists and eight rebounds against ULM on Jan. 22 and followed that with 19 points, five assists and five rebounds against Louisiana on Jan. 25. Still learning to play without Govan’s scoring and highenergy style on the floor, the Lady Toppers would drop three-straight games during an early February stint, losing to Texas State at home before two losses on a road swing to Arkansas State and UALR. WKU responded from the losses during a three-game home stand, beating Troy 93-66, South Alabama 81-55 and ULM 92-63. The dominance continued during a

2013-14 REVIEW
Riding a seven-game win streak into the Sun Belt Conference Championships, the Lady Toppers were seeded second in the field and faced a difficult journey to the championship. WKU responded by putting together three tight wins to earn the Sun Belt Conference’s automatic bid into the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
HISTORY Kendall Noble’s surge in conference play provided WKU with a second major scoring option and helped her become one of the nation’s most versatile players. Her play during conference action helped her earn second team All-Conference honors and Freshman of the Year honors.
WKU was awarded a 15-seed for the NCAA Tournament and placed in the South Bend Regional to face fifth-ranked Baylor at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas. The Lady Toppers fought valiantly, taking a lead late in the first half and cutting the deficit to five at 70-65 in the second half, placing a scare in the Lady Bears before falling 87-74. Gooch and Noble made their names known on a national level in the contest as Gooch scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds while Noble had 21 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. The play of Wade Trophy winner Odyssey Sims (31 points) and freshman All-American Nina Davis (32 points, 10 rebounds on 11-of-13 shooting) were too much for the Lady Toppers to handle in the end. Following the season, Gooch earned Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second straight season while Noble was named the league’s Freshman of the Year.
WKU won its 10th consecutive game by beating Arkansas State 61-60 to claim the program’s 10th conference tournament title in 2014. The win over Arkansas State came after the Lady Toppers faced a second half deficit of 14 points.
Gooch was also a WBCA All-Region and Honorable Mention All-American selection and a CollegeSportsMadness.com Mid-Major All-American selection. The WBCA All-American honor for Gooch was the 25th such selection in program history.

After facing a 14-point second half deficit, WKU scored 18 of the final 22 points of the game to beat Red Wolves, marking the fourth time during the 2013-14 season that WKU had overcome a double-digit deficit to win a game. Chastity Gooch had 26 points and 12 rebounds to lead WKU while Noble hit a layup with 1:21 remaining in the game that would become the difference maker in the one-point win. Noble finished with 12 points.

Having gotten a taste of postseason success a year earlier with a Women’s NIT win over East Carolina in overtime, the Lady Toppers found their postseason groove in New Orleans, posting wins over LouisianaLafayette (67-61 on March 12) and UALR (66-62 on March 14) to setup a rematch between the top two seeds in the tournament, a battle against Arkansas State.

She finished her first two seasons just one win shy of tying Steve Small for the most wins in their first two seasons as the WKU coach. Clark-Heard’s championship in her first two seasons marks just the second time in program history that a WKU coach has won the conference tournament championship in their first two years as the bench boss of the Lady Toppers.

2013-14 game-by-game review Gooch, the junior All-America candidate, had 15 points and 15 rebounds as she reached the 15 point and rebound plateau in the same game for the fourth time in her career. Trailing 67-66, Gooch nailed a pair of free throws with 3:50 remaining to put WKU up for good, then extended the lead to 70-67 after a couple of WKU offensive rebounds gave Gooch another chance at a shot. After Austin Peay cut it to 70-69 with 2:19 left, Micah Jones extended the lead to 72-69 with a driving jumper and the Lady Govs would never get closer than two after that point. Sophomore guard Micah Jones sealed the deal late for WKU by hitting all four of her free throw attempts in the final 30.4 seconds.

Officials: Beverly Roberts, Felicia Grinter, Michael McConnell Technicals: None Attendance: 2830 GAME #3 WKU 86, Murray State 63 Nov. 16, 2013 - Bowling Green, Ky. - E.A. Diddle Arena SUMMARY AND NOTABLES BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Junior All-America candidate Chastity Gooch had 24 points and 12 rebounds to lead WKU to a 86-63 win over Murray State on Saturday afternoon at E.A. Diddle Arena. Gooch hit 11-of-16 shots from the field to lead four Lady Toppers in double figures. “I was really pleased with our effort and just our intensity,” said head coach Michelle Clark Heard. “We came out of the locker room, and I talked to them about getting off to a good start and I think we did that. I was just really pleased with a lot of different things. We made free throws tonight, which was really important. We got on the boards, too. I’m really excited about that. I’m really proud of the team. I think we got a chance to see a lot of different rotations and different substitution patterns that we’re trying to work on. You know, I keep saying to myself, this is the third game of the season. So, we’re going to have to keep working so that we can continue to build on the things we’re working on.” The Lady Toppers’ fast paced offense posted 45 points in the first half, tying the record for most points in a first half under Clark-Heard, to take a 45-34 lead into the halftime break. A 10-0 run early in the second half allowed the Lady Toppers to coast to the 23-point victory. In addition to Gooch’s performance, Jalynn McClain had 12 points and 10 rebounds while Micah Jones had 16 points and Alexis Govan had 10. Bianca McGee finished just shy of a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds. Redshirt freshman Kendall Noble had four points as she played her first game since returning from a series of injuries, including a torn ACL and a stress fracture. It was her first game

GAME #4 WKU 90, SEMO 75 Nov. 19, 2013 - Cape Girardeau, Mo. - Show Me Center
GAME #5 WKU 74, Northern Kentucky 64 Nov. 23, 2013 - Highland Heights, Ky. Bank of Kentucky Center
SUMMARY AND NOTABLES CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - Junior All-America candidate Alexis Govan scored 21 points to lead WKU to a 90-75 win over SEMO at the Show Me Center on Tuesday evening. WKU has scored at least 80 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2009-10 season and reached 90 points for the second time in the Michelle Clark-Heard era. After falling behind 2-0 to open the game, the Lady Toppers went on a 9-0 run over a two minutes stretch to jump ahead 9-2. The Lady Toppers maintained a lead of around 10 for much of the first half until a 10-0 run within the final four minutes of the first half propelled WKU to a lead of 18 at 41-23 after a basket by Govan with 1:42 remaining in the opening half. The basket to cap the 10-0 run gave Govan her 17th point of the first half of play. Govan eventually reached double figures for the 40th consecutive game, one of the nation’s top streaks and just the fourth streak of 40 games or more by a WKU player since the start of the 2000-01 season. The Lady Toppers scored the first four points of the second half to go up 20 at 47-27 before SEMO was able to gradually cut into the lead and eventually cut the WKU lead to seven at 56-49 following a three-point field goal by SEMO’s Olivia Hackmann. Sophomore guard Micah Jones quickly answered with a three-point field goal to go back up by 10 and the Lady Toppers maintained a comfortable lead for the remainder of the game.
SUMMARY AND NOTABLES HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The dynamic duo of All-America candidates Alexis Govan and Chastity Gooch combined to score 36 points and led WKU to a 74-64 win at the Bank of Kentucky Center over Northern Kentucky. Gooch had 20 points and 16 rebounds to record her 29th career double-double and third of the 2013-14 season. She tied her career high with 16 rebounds. Govan added 16 points to help WKU hand NKU their first loss at the Bank of Kentucky Center this season. After the teams played to an 15-15 deadlock through the first 11:29 of the contest, the pace finally picked up and began to favor the Lady Toppers. The Lady Toppers scored six of the next seven points in the game, including two baskets by freshman Bria Gaines. NKU later cut a WKU lead to four at 31-27 with 2:53 left in the half before the Lady Toppers ended the half on a 10-4 run to lead 41-31 at the half. WKU hit 10-of-12 shots to end the half after starting 5-of-14. WKU was able to hold the 10-point lead at the half despite three starters picking up two fouls and a fourth player off the bench picking up three fouls in the opening half. The teams combined to shoot 24 free throws in the opening half as 14 of the games’ first 30 points came from the charity stripe. The Lady Toppers came out of the locker room and extended the lead to as many 17 points. The Norse answered with a 9-0 run to cut the lead to 55-49 before a Gooch basket ended the run with 7:24 left in the game. Govan followed

with 39.4 seconds remaining in the first half, their largest deficit of the game, before going on a 39-17 run to tie the game at 55. The Lady Toppers tied the game at 55 on a free throw by redshirt freshman Kendall Noble and then took a 61-55 lead after senior Bianca McGee hit back-to-back three-point field goals to cap a 12-0 run. “I am super proud of the comeback our team made in the second half,” said head coach Michelle Clark-Heard. “We made some turnovers and missed some shots at some crucial times late in the game when they hit some big shots, but I am really proud of the second half effort. We fought until the end. We should how tough and resilient we are capable of being during the second half.” Junior guard Alexis Govan scored her 1,000th point late in the game, becoming the 34th member of WKU’s 1,000 Point Club. She is believed to be the seventh quickest player to reach the mark in program history. Govan hit 7-of-9 shots from the field to finish with 20 points and a career best eight assists. Govan became the first WKU player to record eight assists in a game since Amy McNear reached the mark on March 7, 2011 against Arkansas State. In her return to her home state, McGee had a team-high 23 points, hitting five three-point field goals. Junior Chastity Gooch added 12 points and 13 rebounds while sophomore guard Micah Jones added 15 points. Ball State freshman guard Jill Morrison hit 5-of-6 threepoint field goals in the opening half and scored 19 points before the break to help the Cardinals to a 40-22 lead at the half.

It was awesome and I’m really thankful that we have the opportunity to do that.” Junior All-America candidate Chastity Gooch had a gamehigh 18 points and added six rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 27 minutes to continue her torrid pace to begin Sun Belt Conference play.

points and grabbing eight rebounds. Junior Chanell Lockhart rounded out the WKU scorers in double figures with 10 points and five rebounds. The Lady Toppers jumped out to a quick start, scoring the games’ first nine points as WKU eventually took a 13-3 lead before Troy was able to make a field goal at the 15:07 mark of the first half. The hot start was propelled by Gooch early as she scored 11 of WKU’s first 15 points in the game as WKU’s lead ballooned to double digits shortly after the first media timeout. After Gooch set the stage early, sophomore guard Micah Jones rediscovered her long-range shot. Jones hit her first four three-point field goal attempts of the first half on her way to a 14-point performance in the opening half. Gooch finished the opening half with 18 points and eight rebounds after hitting 7-of-10 shots from inside the three-point arc and 8-of-13 overall for the opening half. WKU would lead 51-37 at halftime after scoring the most points in the opening half of a game during the Michelle Clark-Heard era. Troy cut the lead to as low as 11 points in the second half before WKU was able to pull away. With the win, the Lady Toppers improved to 15-1 all-time against the Trojans and improved to 7-1 against Troy in Troy, Ala. It was the ninth straight win over Troy for WKU. It was the third win for Michelle Clark-Heard as the WKU coach against Troy. The Lady Toppers were without the services of junior AllAmerica candidate Alexis Govan for the second consecutive game due to injury. The guard averaged 16.5 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in WKU’s first 11 games of the season on the heels of one of the most prolific scoring seasons in program history as a sophomore in 2012-13 at 20.3 points per outing.

WKU settled for an 11-point advantage at 41-30 at the intermission. It was the first 9:24 of the second half that WKU saw its lead balloon as WKU hit 13-of-14 shots to open the half to expand the 41-30 lead to 75-42 with a 34-12 run to open the half.

Officials: Lawson Newton, Angel Stanton, Natosha Harris Technicals: None Attendance: 2692 GAME #15 WKU 65, UALR 39 Jan. 15, 2014 - E.A. Diddle Arena - Bowling Green, Ky. SUMMARY AND NOTABLES BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - WKU held UALR to just 39 points, including 15 in the first half, en route to a 65-39 win over the Trojans, the preseason favorite to win the league championship in the preseason coaches’ poll. The Lady Toppers recorded the 26-point win, their largest against a Sun Belt Conference opponent under Michelle ClarkHeard and largest against UALR since 2005, despite having junior All-America candidate Alexis Govan on the bench due to injury for the fourth consecutive game. WKU (11-4, 3-1) jumped ahead early with an 18-2 run to jump up 23-6 over the first 10:32 of the game. During the run, WKU hit five three-point field goals and knocked down five of

the first seven attempts from behind the three-point arc in the contest. Senior guard Chaney Means had 11 points, including 3-of-3 shooting from behind the three-point arc, to pace three WKU players in double figures. Means was 4-of-5 from the field in 19 minutes. Junior Chastity Gooch added a game-high 15 points and eight rebounds while sophomore Micah Jones had 14 points, including 9-of-10 shooting from the free throw line. “I’m super happy for our team right now,” said Michelle Clark-Heard. “Every game and every day, different people step up and they grow. It’s such a fun group to coach. I’m just super proud of them. Different people do different things at different times, but I feel like Chaney Means was huge for us when she came in and she hit those three’s. I think the momentum just started to go. The biggest thing I’m proud of is our defense. We changed up and we did some different things. We started out in the zone and I don’t think they were ready for that. The gameplan was just to do it for a couple possessions and see what we could get out of it. This morning in shootaround, the kids were really confident in running it and so I’m just super proud of them. When you watch your team grow and you’re able to do change ups and different things defensively, it shows you where your team and their maturity are going and I’m just super proud of them.” UALR (8-7, 3-2) was limited to just 28.3 percent shooting from the field and committed 23 turnovers, leading to 18 WKU points.

SUMMARY AND NOTABLES BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - WKU held UT Arlington without a field goal in the first 7:15 of the second half and opened the second half on a 14-5 run to pull away from the Mavs in a 59-46 win at E.A. Diddle. The game marked the first-ever meeting between WKU and UT Arlington Junior All-America candidate Chastity Gooch had 12 points and 12 rebounds while senior Bianca McGee had a game-high 17 points and sophomore Micah Jones had 16 points to pace the Lady Toppers. The win also gave head coach Michelle Clark-Heard her 125th win as part of the Lady Topper Basketball program. Clark-Heard is now 125-54 in her career as a player and head coach of the program. A four-year letterwinner on the Hill (1987-90), Clark-Heard was part of four NCAA Tournament teams during her Lady Topper career. She also helped guide the Lady Toppers to a pair of Sun Belt Conference Tournament championships (1988 and 1989) and two conference regularseason titles (1989 and 1990). She played in 118 games during her four years in the Hill, scoring 790 points and pulling down 615 rebounds. WKU amassed 89 victories during her four years in uniform, winning 70 percent of the games over that span and putting together three 20-win seasons. After a sluggish first half from both sides, the Lady Toppers jumped out to a quick start to the second half. Micah Jones knocked down a three-point field goal and Gooch converted on a fast break opportunity in the opening minute of the second half to expand WKU’s 26-25 halftime lead to 31-25. The Lady Toppers quickly expanded on the lead with another three-point field goal by Jones to go up 35-27 within the first four minutes of the half. The Lady Toppers start to the second half was aided by a strong defensive effort, holding UT Arlington without a field goal in the first 7:15 of the second half until Malaika Green hit

GENERAL
a jumper from the baseline to end the drought after missing the first eight shots of the period. The cushion allowed the Lady Toppers to gradually pull away and secure the win. WKU is now 14-5 or better on the season for the second straight year but for just the fifth time in the last 15 seasons. WKU was 15-4 through 19 games last season in Clark-Heard’s first season as the WKU head coach. The Lady Toppers currently hold a 6-2 mark in league games, opening the conference slate with wins in at least six of the first eight games for the second straight year after failing to do so the previous four seasons.

GAME #22 UALR 58, WKU 51 Feb. 8, 2014 - Jack Stephens Center - Little Rock, Ark. SUMMARY AND NOTABLES LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - WKU shot just 28.6 percent and was unable to complete a late-comeback as the Lady Toppers fell 58-51 at the Jack Stephens Center on Saturday afternoon. Junior Chastity Gooch had 17 points and seven rebounds while redshirt freshman Kendall Noble had 14 points for the Lady Toppers. UALR’s Taylor Gault had a game high 22 points, hitting 10-of-25 shots from the field to lead the Trojans in the win. UALR jumped out to an 8-2 advantage before the first media timeout and continued to build the lead to as many as 11 points before halftime. WKU cut the lead to 22-18 with 6:11 left before halftime after a pair of Gooch free throws, but would get no closer the rest of the game. WKU looked like it might have another major comeback in them during the second half. WKU had rallied from a double digit deficit to win three times this season and seven times over the last two years. Trailing by 16 at 43-27, a Gooch basket and a three-point field goal from Jones cut into the deficit and gave WKU momentum, but WKU has unable to cut anymore into the lead at that time. Later in the half, WKU trailed 51-35 with just over 5:38 left before a Noble three-point play and several free throws sparked WKU’s last rally to end the game, resulting in a 16-7 run to close the contest as WKU was unable to get much offense going despite some late stops. WKU showed life on the boards after being outrebounded in eight straight games. WKU won the battle of the boards 40-39, but gave up 11 second chance points on 12 offensive rebounds while converting just 18 points on 17 offensive rebounds of its own.

GAME #24 WKU 81, South Alabama 55 Feb. 15, 2014 - E.A. Diddle Arena - Bowling Green, Ky. SUMMARY AND NOTABLES BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - WKU used a dominant first half and superb three-point shooting to post its second consecutive blowout win in conference play, defeating South Alabama 81-55 on Saturday afternoon in E.A. Diddle Arena. WKU (16-8, 8-5) hit 12 three-point field goals, one off of tying the school record and one of just five times in school history with 12 or more three-point field goals, to separate themselves from the Jaguars in the contest. WKU finished the day 12-of-28 from behind the three-point arc, ending a slump that saw the Lady Toppers hit four three-point field goals or less in each of the last four games. “We had 21 assists to 11 turnovers,” said head coach Michelle Clark-Heard. “Any coach will tell you, that is an unbelievable number. The biggest thing I was excited about was that they were having fun. We just had two back-to-back games together where they were able to come out on the floor and play hard with energy and have fun. Now, we still have to work on that coming out of the locker room thing in the second half. It’s hard when you’re up by 30 and you try to get them out of the locker room still motivated and pumped. I was proud of them. We went on that three or three and a half minute stretch, but we came back and guarded and made some more shots. That’s what good teams and that’s what I told them.” With the win, WKU broke a five-game losing streak to the Jaguars, earning WKU’s first win over South Alabama since Feb. 2, 2011. WKU now owns a school-best 47 wins over South Alabama and improved to 27-2 all-time against South Alabama in games played in Bowling Green. It was the largest win for WKU over South Alabama since a 37-point win on Feb, 28, 1999. The Lady Toppers opened the game by hitting 6-of-7 three-point field goal attempts, including a pair by senior guard Bianca McGee, as WKU jumped ahead 26-9 in the opening nine minutes of the game, the streak included a 11-0 run. Another double-digit run of 10-0 by WKU helped the Lady Toppers expand the lead to 36-12 with and later by 30 at 48-18 at the break as WKU reeled off the final six points of the half. For the second straight game, WKU rode its defense in the opening half, not allowing consecutive baskets during the first half by South Alabama and forcing 15 turnovers. WKU held Troy to just 19 first half points on Wednesday. South Alabama (7-15, 5-7) came out strong to begin the second half, scoring the first 12 points of the second period to cut WKU’s 48-18 lead to 48-30 following a pair of three-point field goals around the 17 minute mark of the second half. The Jaguars got no closer than 17 the rest of the game as WKU pulled away in the second half and settled on the final margin of 26 points for the win.

“There is not a senior in the starting lineup for the Lady Toppers but there is leadership in the senior class off the bench. Bianca McGee, how deep was that three-point shot? She was two or three feet beyond that three-point line. Normally only known as a three-point shooter, we saw her making moves off the dribble trying to take her team to the NCAA Tournament.” -ESPN’s LaChina Robinson during SBC title game.

LADY TOPPERS
SUMMARY AND NOTABLES ATLANTA, Ga. - Junior All-America candidate Chastity Gooch and freshman Bria Gaines combined for 44 points and 19 rebounds as WKU won its 21st game of the season in a 79-63 win over Georgia State on Saturday afternoon. WKU (21-8, 13-5) closed out the regular season with seven consecutive wins, including 6-of-7 coming by at least 16 points. Having won the final seven games of the regular season, WKU will enter the upcoming Sun Belt Conference Championships with seven consecutive wins, the longest streak entering the conference championships since the 200506 season when WKU had an 11-game streak entering league tournament play. It is one of just four times in program history that WKU has entered the postseason with seven consecutive wins or more. WKU had an eight-game streak in 1986-87 and 11-game streaks in 2002-03 and 2005-06. Gaines finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds in just 20 minutes of play. She hit 8-of-17 shots for the game to post a career high in scoring. It was her third double-double of her career and first 20-point game of her career. Gooch had 23 points and nine rebounds, hitting 10-of-16 shots in the game. The Lady Toppers fell behind 7-0 in the opening 90 seconds and trailed by as many as eight points in the first half before fighting back to tie the game at halftime at 33. Trailing 20-12 following back-to-back baskets by Georgia State with just over 8:30 left in the first half, WKU reeled off 11 straight points to take their first lead of the game at 21-20 and eventually 23-20. Gaines was a key component of the WKU run, getting two field goals and a pair of free throws during the 11-0 spurt. It was part of her 13 point, seven rebound performance
in just 10 minutes in the opening half. WKU shot just 26.8 percent in the opening half, including 0-of-9 from behind the three-point line. WKU opened the second half on a flurry as Noble got a basket then followed it up with another steal and a basket. Following a forced 10-second count, Gooch found the basket to give WKU a quick 39-33 lead just 1:01 into the second half, forcing a Georgia State timeout. WKU went on to hold Georgia State scoreless over the first 2:56 of the second half and without a field goal for the first 5:24 of the half in building a six-point lead at 43-37. Georgia State (12-18, 8-10) fought back and went on to lead by three at 52-49 with 10:05 left before WKU made a big run. WKU ran off 13 straight points to take a 62-52 lead as Kendall Noble started the run with a three-point play and Gaines added four points during the span. WKU extended the run to 19-2 to jump ahead 68-54 with 4:46 remaining following a pair of baskets by Gooch. WKU finished the game shooting 31-of-74 for the game, a 41.9 percent clip. The team finished 0-of-12 from behind the three-point arc, ending a streak of 77 straight games with a three-point field goal. WKU forced 28 turnovers, leading to 32 points for the Lady Toppers.

WKU trailed for much of the game, not taking its first lead until the 11:30 mark of the second half on a basket from junior Chanell Lockhart, and later erased another five-point deficit to post the win. Trailing 56-51 following a Louisiana-Lafayette basket with 7:30 remaining, WKU reeled off seven consecutive points to lead 58-56. Gooch hit consecutive baskets and Bria Gaines added another field goal to put WKU up by two. After the teams exchanged baskets and the score was tied at 60-60, Gooch drove from the free throw line and was fouled, getting a three-point play to give WKU its largest lead of the game to that point. Senior Bianca McGee and sophomore Micah Jones both hit a pair of free throws in the final 20 seconds to secure the win as WKU never led by more than the final margin of six points. WKU (22-8, 13-5) overcame a double-digit deficit for the fourth time this season to register the win.

After trailing by as many as ten points in the first half, WKU nailed three three-point field goals in the final 2:09 of the first half to end the half on a 9-0 run and cut the halftime deficit to one at 33-32. Lockhart, senior Chaney Means and junior Ileana Johnson nailed the three field goals down the stretch to close the gap. Louisiana-Lafayette (14-16, 7-11) hit 10-of-21 three-point

title in 2002-03 in her first season as coach of the Lady Toppers. The Lady Toppers got off to a hot start, using an early 14-0 run to jump ahead 16-4 in the first eight minutes of the game. Gooch scored 10 of WKU’s first 16 points to set the tone early for WKU. WKU forced ten UALR turnovers in the first eight minutes during the early going. WKU’s first turnover of the contest didn’t come until the 5:15 mark of the first half. The Trojans fought back though as cold shooting plagued the Lady Toppers. UALR eventually took a 26-25 lead with 1:24 left in the half following an 8-0 run after WKU had led 25-18 and by as many as 12 points in the opening half. Jones answered though, hitting two three-point field goals in the final one minute to help the Lady Toppers secure a 31-26 advantage at halftime despite shooting just 31.4 percent. WKU again came out hot in the second half, extending the 6-0 run to 9-0 and then adding another 8-0 run as the Lady Toppers jumped ahead by 15 points at 44-29 with just under 15 remaining in the second half. The Trojans quickly responded with their own 8-0 run to cut the score to 44-37. UALR (18-12, 12-6) gradually fought back and eventually tied the game at 56-56 with 3:40 remaining in the game on a free throw by Taylor Ford. After the teams exchanged baskets and the score tied at 58-58, Jones nailed a jumper with 2:19 left and after the teams continued to exchange scoreless possessions, Noble then made her biggest play of the day with 32.8 left, converting on a three-point play that gave WKU a 63-58 lead. UALR converted on two free throws with 17.6 seconds left before Jones hit 1-of-2. UALR had its final chance when they were fouled with 2.6 seconds remaining on a three-point attempt. Ford hit 2-of-3, missing the third on purpose, but the Trojans failed to recover the rebound. Jones’ free throws with 0.6 left sealed the win. WKU won despite shooting just 35.9 percent for the game. In turn, the Lady Toppers committed a Clark-Heard era low five turnovers while forcing 16.
2013-14 game-by-game review GAME #34 Baylor 87, WKU 74 2014 NCAA Tournament First Round March 22, 2014 - Ferrell Center - Waco, Texas SUMMARY AND NOTABLES WACO, Texas (AP) - Western Kentucky could become a regular again in the NCAA tournament. The Lady Toppers just couldn’t overcome two 30-point scorers and playing on the court of perennial national power Baylor in their first tourney game in six years. Nina Davis made her NCAA tournament debut with 32 points and 10 rebounds while senior standout Sims scored 31 points to lead Baylor, without suspended coach Kim Mulkey, to an 87-74 first-round victory over WKU on Saturday night. “We weren’t intimated by them at all. We knew they were a good team, but we were prepared for everything they threw at us,” said Kendall Noble, the Sun Belt Conference’s top freshman this season. “We just fell up a little short.” Western Kentucky (24-9) led only once - for 16 seconds in the first half before Davis and Sims combined for all the Baylor points in a 14-4 run. Davis already had 24 points by halftime, and Sims had 15. But the No. 15 seed Lady Toppers were within five points as late as 6 1/2 minutes to go in the game. “We gave them the game plan and how we needed to prepare. The biggest thing is those players really believed in the staff, and we just talk to them,” coach Michelle Clark-Heard said. “We play four-minute segments, four-minute games. Every time they came to the huddle we told them what the score was, and if we outscored them or if we were down, what we needed to do. That’s how we tried to make sure we broke everything down in the beginning. And we didn’t try to give them too much.” The Sun Belt tournament champ Lady Toppers were in the NCAA tournament for the 17th time, but their first since 2008. They have been to three Final Fours. They were 9-21 two years ago, but have now had 22 and 24 wins in their two seasons under Clark-Heard, who was in four NCAA tourneys as a WKU player. Chastity Gooch, a junior, had 23 points for the Lady Toppers, while Noble had 21. Bianca McGee had 18 points that included four 3s. Mulkey will be back Monday night when the No. 2 seed Lady Bears (30-4) stay home to play No. 7 seed California (229). Both teams are trying to get back to the Sweet Sixteen. It was the first pair of teammates with 30-point games in the NCAA women’s tournament since Gonzaga in 2011, according to STATS. Mulkey served a one-game suspension for criticizing the officiating after the then-defending national champion Lady Bears’ upset loss to Louisville in a very physical Sweet Sixteen game last March. Associate head coach Bill Brock filled in and is now 2-0 in his career when he’s had to coach in Mulkey’s place - he also did when Mulkey was ill during a regularseason game 10 years ago. “It was different not seeing her face on the sideline, hearing her voice screaming and hollering at us,” said Davis, getting a chuckle from those around the Big 12’s top freshman. Brock got a loud standing ovation when he walked out on the court a few minutes before the game. And, the fans were still cheering when the game ended. “When I walked out there and the fans started standing and clapping, that made me relax a little bit, to be honest with you,” Brock said. Mulkey also missed the 2009 NCAA opener after surgery to remove a kidney stone. Then-associate coach Leon Barmore was in charge for that game against as No. 15 seed, and the
96 2014-15 LADY TOPPER BASKETBALL
Lady Bears won in overtime against Texas-San Antonio. This time, the Lady Bears had a double-digit lead for most of the final 5 minutes and clinched their fourth consecutive 30-win season. They have won first-round NCAA games 11 years in a row, with three of the last four at home. Western Kentucky had its only lead after Gooch scored the first eight points in an 11-2 run. The Lady Toppers went ahead 28-27 on McGee’s 3 with 6:43 left in the first half after Gooch had made a 3-pointer, a three-point play and a layup the previous 4 minutes. But the Lady Bears responded with a 3-minute spurt led appropriately by Davis and Sims for a 41-32 lead that was their largest in the first half.

PAUL SANDERFORD WKU COACH FROM 1983-1997 RETIRED UNIFORM AS A HEAD COACH Former Western Kentucky University Lady Topper Basketball coach Paul Sanderford enjoyed one of the most successful runs of any collegiate basketball coach in state history, male or female. In his 26-year career as a head coach at WKU, Nebraska and Louisburg College, he won 616 games and had a career winning percentage of .748. As a Division One coach, he was 453-189 (.706). Sanderford amassed 365 victories and a .753 winning percentage as Lady Topper head coach from 1982-97, posting 13 seasons with 20-plus victories during his 15-year stint as head coach. That includes a school-record 32 victories during the 1985-86 season. He also led the Lady Toppers to 14 postseason appearances - including 12 NCAA Tournament and the program’s three Final Four trips in 1985, 1986 and 1992. The 1992 squad advanced all the way to the National Championship game against Stanford. The Lady Toppers won 15 NCAA Tournament games under Sanderford’s direction, advancing to at least the Sweet Sixteen four times. WKU claimed five Sun Belt Conference regular-season championships and seven league tournament titles under Sanderford. He earned Sun Belt Coach of the Year honors three times (1982-83, 1985-86 and 1990-91), while coaching seven different All-Americans. In five years at Nebraska, Sanderford led the Huskers to an 88-69 overall record, ranking him as the second-winningest coach in school history. Sanderford guided Nebraska to three consecutive NCAA Tournament bids in 1998, 1999 and 2000, doubling the previous number of NCAA bids by the school. After accepting the job as Nebraska’s eighth women’s basketball coach on June 19, 1997, Sanderford led his first Husker squad to a school-record tying 23 victories and claimed just the second NCAA Tournament victory by a Nebraska team. After finishing with a 23-10 overall mark in 1997-98, Sanderford guided a young Husker team to another 20-win season and another NCAA Tournament bid in 1999, marking the first back-to-back tournament appearances in school history. Nebraska’s 21-12 overall record in 1998-99 marked just the

fourth back-to-back 20-win seasons at Nebraska. Sanderford’s third squad also advanced to the 2000 NCAA Tournament, giving Nebraska three consecutive NCAA bids for the first time in school history. Despite an 18-13 overall record, the 1999-2000 Huskers played arguably the toughest schedule in school history and finished strong with a 10-6 record in Big 12 play, while advancing to the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament for the second straight year. After losing four seniors from the 1999-2000 team, a young Husker team struggled against a powerful Big 12 Conference schedule, finishing with a 12-18 record, the first losing season in Sanderford’s coaching career. The 2001-02 squad battled its own youth and an even stronger Big 12 schedule, which featured seven NCAA Tournament teams, including five Sweet Sixteen qualifies and eventual NCAA runner-up Oklahoma. His final team finished 14-16 overall. Along with Nebraska’s success on the court, Sanderford helped the Huskers earn unprecedented fan support, setting a school record with an average home attendance of 5,000 fans per game in 1999-2000. The women’s basketball program set school attendance records in each of Sanderford’s first three seasons, and ranked among the top 25 teams nationally in home attendance in each of his first four years. Sanderford returned to the WKU sidelines for four seasons (2003-07) as an assistant coach on Darrin Horn’s men’s basketball staff. After volunteering to fill a void on a shorthanded staff at the start of the 2003-04 campaign, he agreed to remain on staff in a full-time capacity for three more seasons. He helped the Hilltoppers to three straight 20-win seasons and a Sun Belt East Division Championship in 2006-07 before retiring. Two years later, he joined the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the 2008 induction class. On Feb. 6, 2010, Sanderford was honored in the rafters of E.A. Diddle Arena with a jersey bearing his name. Prior to his time at WKU, Sanderford enjoyed an outstanding stint as the head coach at Louisburg College in North

In 1981-82, he was awarded the Wade Trophy, given annually to the national Junior College Coach of the Year.

Prior to his time as the coach at Louisburg College, he spent time at Methodist College, playing baseball and basketball. During his collegiate career, he lettered one year in basketball and two years in baseball at Louisburg College before spending his final two years playing baseball at Methodist College. At Louisburg, he was a All-America selection in 1970. Sanderford holds an AA degree from Louisburg College (1970), a BA in Sociology from Methodist College in Fayetteville (1972) and a MA in Guidance and Counseling from North Carolina State University (1976).
HISTORY UNIVERSITY
Following his career on the sidelines, Sanderford has enjoyed a successful real estate career and has continued to be part of the game through radio and television broadcasting. His reach continues to the court today as his coaching tree continues to expand. Current WKU women’s basketball coach Michelle Clark-Heard, the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year, is a former player of Sanderford’s and coached under him at Nebraska. Current Louisville women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz coached under Sanderford at WKU and Nebraska and has reached the Final Four on two occasions, one short of Sanderford’s mark.
OPPONENTS HALL OF FAME WORTHY: Paul Sanderford is one of just 17 coaches to reach the NCAA Division One Women’s Final Four on three occasions or more.

In his 26-year career as a head coach at WKU, Nebraska and Louisburg College, he won 616 games and had a career winning percentage of .748. As a Division One coach, he was 453-189 (.706).
Sanderford amassed 365 victories and a .753 winning percentage as Lady Topper head coach from 1982-97, posting 13 seasons with 20-plus victories during his 15-year stint as head coach. That includes a school-record 32 victories during the 1985-86 season. He also led the Lady Toppers to 14 postseason appearances - including 12 NCAA Tournament and the program’s three Final Four trips in 1985, 1986 and 1992. The 1992 squad advanced all the way to the National Championship game against Stanford. The Lady Toppers won 15 NCAA Tournament games under Sanderford’s direction, advancing to at least the Sweet Sixteen four times.

After finishing with a 23-10 overall mark in 1997-98, Sanderford guided a young Husker team to another 20-win season and another NCAA Tournament bid in 1999, marking the first back-to-back tournament appearances in school history. Nebraska’s 21-12 overall record in 1998-99 marked just the fourth back-to-back 20-win seasons at Nebraska. Sanderford’s third squad also advanced to the 2000 NCAA Tournament, giving Nebraska three consecutive NCAA bids for the first time in school history. Despite an 18-13 overall record, the 1999-2000 Huskers played arguably the toughest schedule in school history and finished strong with a 10-6

HISTORY
Sanderford returned to the WKU sidelines for four seasons (2003-07) as an assistant coach on Darrin Horn’s men’s basketball staff. After volunteering to fill a void on a shorthanded staff at the start of the 2003-04 campaign, he agreed to remain on staff in a full-time capacity for three more seasons. He helped the Hilltoppers to three straight 20-win seasons and a Sun Belt East Division Championship in 2006-07 before retiring. Two years later, he joined the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the 2008 induction class. On Feb. 6, 2010, Sanderford was honored in the rafters of E.A. Diddle Arena with a jersey bearing his name.
Following his career on the sidelines, Sanderford has enjoyed a successful real estate career and has continued to be part of the game through radio and television broadcasting. His reach continues to the court today as his coaching tree continues to expand. Current WKU women’s basketball coach Michelle Clark-Heard, the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year, is a former player of Sanderford’s and coached under him at Nebraska. Current Louisville women’s basketball coach Jeff Walz coached under Sanderford at WKU and Nebraska and has reached the Final Four on two occasions, one short of Sanderford’s mark.
2013-14 REVIEW
Along with Nebraska’s success on the court, Sanderford helped the Huskers earn unprecedented fan support, setting a school record with an average home attendance of 5,000 fans per game in 1999-2000. The women’s basketball program set school attendance records in each of Sanderford’s first three seasons, and ranked among the top 25 teams nationally in home attendance in each of his first four years.
Prior to his time as the coach at Louisburg College, he spent time at Methodist College, playing baseball and basketball. During his collegiate career, he lettered one year in basketball and two years in baseball at Louisburg College before spending his final two years playing baseball at Methodist College. At Louisburg, he was a All-America selection in 1970. Sanderford holds an AA degree from Louisburg College (1970), a BA in Sociology from Methodist College in Fayetteville (1972) and a MA in Guidance and Counseling from North Carolina State University (1976).

BRIEF HISTORY Warren County consists of 546 square miles and was named for General Joseph Warren, a hero of the famous American Revolution Battle of Bunker Hill. The area was first settled in 1785 when Andrew McFadin built McFadin’s Station on the Barren River. Shortly afterward, another explorer, Robert Moore, paused for a few days at the station before deciding to build in the area. Brothers George and Robert Moore may not have realized how forward looking they were when they selected a site on the Barren River in south central Kentucky for a new settlement in 1796. At the first county commissioners meeting in early 1798, the pioneers decided that the new town would be “called and known by the name of Bolin Green.” This name was after the Bowling Green Square in New York City, where patriots had pulled down a statue of King George III and used the lead to make bullets during the American Revolution. In laying out the town, the Moore’s designed two acres for the construction of public buildings. Those same two acres today make up Fountain Square Park in the heart of downtown. This is symbolic of the city of Bowling Green whose central location allowed it quickly to become a major agricultural community and river port, and later, an important commercial and educational center. Today Bowling Green is a regional entertainment hub for more than 250,000 people in 11 surrounding counties.

NOTEWORTHY GENERAL
HERE’S THE GIST
the president
DR. GARY RANSDELL UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT 17TH YEAR AT WKU | WKU ‘73 Dr. Gary A. Ransdell was named the ninth president of Western Kentucky University on September 12, 1997. Dr. Ransdell, 62, received his Bachelor of Arts degree from WKU in 1973 in Mass Communications, a Master of Public Service degree in Public Administration in 1974, and a Doctor of Education degree from Indiana University in 1978. Dr. Ransdell re-joined WKU as President after serving four years as Vice President for Administration and Advancement and seven years as Vice President for Institutional Advancement at Clemson University in Clemson, S.C. His previous professional experiences at WKU also include service as a field representative in the Office of University School Relations from 1974 to 1976 and as Associate Director of Alumni Affairs from 1978 to 1981. Dr. Ransdell and the WKU Board of Regents are leading the campus through a dramatic transformation from a university of regional importance to a leading American university with international reach. WKU has grown its enrollment to 21,000 and improved its retention of students to 75 percent. A key element in the transformation of WKU is growth in private support. WKU completed its first capital campaign on June 30, 2003, with $102 million in gifts and pledges. A second campaign was completed on June 30, 2012, with $202 million in new gifts and pledges. Another priority is a complete rebuilding of the WKU campus. Some $700 million in campus construction has been completed since 1998, with $200 million on the drawing board. Other measures of progress include a dramatic push in sponsored research, the growth of critical degree programs in electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering; three new doctoral degree programs in education, nursing, and physical therapy; a new emphasis on the commercialization of intellectual property and the transfer of WKU technology to

Knox; the creation of the Gatton Academy of Math and Science, which has been ranked by Newsweek as the No. 1 high school in America two years in a row; Kentucky’s only independent Honors College with enrollment of 1,200 high achieving students; expanded study abroad programs; and the state’s first Confucius Institute and only Chinese flagship program. True to its plan, WKU has the largest number of distance-learning courses and the largest distance-learning enrollment among Kentucky’s eight universities. During Dr. Ransdell’s tenure, WKU’s athletic programs have won over 100 conference championships, and have led the Sun Belt Conference in academic performance. He served as President of the Sun Belt Conference in 2000, and completed in 2013 a four-year term on the BCS Presidents’ Oversight Committee. Dr. Ransdell successfully negotiated a move to Conference USA, which occured in July 2014. Dr. Ransdell has served on the Board of Directors of the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce, the Board for the Intermodel Transportation Authority of South Central Kentucky, and has chaired the Warren County United Way Campaign. Dr. Ransdell currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Institute for Shipboard Education (ISE) which operates the global Semester at Sea (SAS) program. Dr. Ransdell and his wife, Julie, met, dated, and were married while at WKU pursuing their undergraduate degrees. They have two sons—Patrick, who graduated from WKU in 2002, and Matthew, who graduated from WKU in 2006. Both Patrick and Matthew were lettermen with the WKU baseball team. Patrick and Brooke (WKU ‘04) were married in August 2004, and are the parents of Walker and Collins Ransdell, WKU classes of 2029 and 2033! Matthew and Sandra were married in the spring of 2014, and both practice law in St. Petersburg, Fla.

SEVENTH YEAR AT WKU | MIAMI (OHIO) ‘88
Each of WKU’s 18 sports has a multi-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) score of 946 or higher, exceeding by 16 points the NCAA’s mandate of 930 to be eligible for postseason play. Stewart also played an instrumental role in elevating WKU’s athletic programs to Conference USA. In its final year in the Sun Belt Conference in 2013-14, WKU won the league’s all-sports championship for the sixth overall time but first since 2008. A total of 110 student-athletes graduated during the year, and six sport programs captured conference championships - the most in a single-year since 2008-09. WKU’s volleyball, soccer, and women’s indoor and outdoor track teams captured Sun Belt Conference regular season championships, while the men’s swimming and diving team won the Conference USA Invitational. Women’s basketball posted 24 wins en route to winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and earning the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth since 2008. The Hilltoppers’ 2013 football team posted a program Football Bowl Subdivision-era-best 8-4 overall record and had four wins over bowl eligible teams, more than the previous five seasons combined. WKU’s eight wins included a second consecutive win over Kentucky along with victories over Navy, Army and Sun Belt Conference co-champion Arkansas State, while the 18,334 per game home attendance average was the highest in the program’s 95-year history. WKU’s men’s outdoor track program set a program record with seven first-team AllAmericans while finishing tied for 18th in the nation, the highest national team finish for any WKU program since men’s basketball reached the Sweet 16 in 2008.
The 2012-13 year, Stewart’s first full-year as Director of Athletics, marked the first time since the APR variable was introduced that all 19 WKU sports exceeded the single-year 930 APR threshold, and 108 student-athletes graduated during the year. Five sport programs (volleyball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s track and field, men’s basketball, softball) won conference championships. Despite a fifth-place conference finish in football, Stewart’s navigation of the bowl landscape helped secure the program’s first-ever FBS bowl bid, an at-large appearance in the 2012 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Men’s basketball became the first team in NCAA history to win its conference tournament two consecutive years by winning four games in four days each time. Softball posted two wins in the NCAA Tournament, the first in the program’s history, while women’s basketball won a game in the WNIT, the program’s first postseason win since 2006-07. Volleyball also capped a 33-4 season by winning the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament match. A member of WKU’s senior athletic staff since 2008 and 25year veteran of collegiate and professional sports, Stewart was named WKU’s Director of Athletics on May 9, 2012, after serving in the role on an interim basis since March 22. After nearly two years as WKU’s Senior Associate Athletic Director, Stewart was named Interim Director of Athletics on March 22 after the departure of Ross Bjork to Ole Miss. He was immediately responsible for the day-to-day operation of WKU’s athletic department and its 19 varsity sports and over 400 student-athletes and employees. In that role, Stewart completed the hiring of Michelle Clark-Heard as head women’s basketball coach and oversaw the assistant coach hiring for both Heard and head men’s basketball coach Ray Harper. Stewart was elevated to Senior Associate Athletic Director in August of 2010 after serving as WKU’s Associate Athletic Director for Communications and Media Relations since June of 2008. As Senior Associate Athletic Director, Stewart served as second-in-command in the department and assisted in strategic initiatives that advanced the mission of athletics, served as a critical advisor for all important decisions for

CONFERENCE LEADERS IN ACADEMICS
2013-14 REVIEW
Lacee-Carmon Johnson Academic Coordinator
For the previous nine seasons, WKU has led all Sun Belt Conference schools in student-athletes recognized for their academic achievement. As the Hilltoppers move to Conference USA beginning in 2014, WKU Athletics aims to keep that streak alive.

BIG RED THE SPIRIT OF WESTERN Big Red, WKU’s athletic mascot, was born in the fall of 1979 and celebrates its birthday on December 1st. Big Red can be best described as the Spirit of Western! The huge, furry, lovable creature was originally designed and built by WKU student Ralph Carey, (’80 WKU graduate), of Cincinnati, and made its debut during the Hilltoppers’ 1979-80 basketball season. Big Red has become a big hit with fans of all ages throughout the state and the nation. Big Red’s signature moves are the belly slide and belly shake. Big Red is an eight-time participant in the Capital One Mascot Challenge and, in 2012, Big Red was named the first member of the Capital One Mascot Challenge Hall of Fame. Prior to the 2013 season, Sports Illustrated rated Big Red as the No. 9 mascot in college football. Of course, on The Hill, we all think Big Red is No. 1. The ultimate fan and supporter of all WKU’s intercollegiate sports, Big Red won the “Key to Spirit” award, the highest honor presented to team mascots at the time, at the Universal Cheerleading Association competition in 1980, 1981 and again in 1983. In the spring of 1990, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of the UCA’s second annual national championship event in San Antonio, Texas, taking third-place honors. Then, in the spring of 1996, Big Red reached the “Final Four” of ESPN SportZone’s “Battle of the Mascots” in public balloting on the Internet. Big Red was the centerpiece of ESPN’s promotion of the 25,000th SportsCenter, airing in August 2002. The famed mascot has also been featured in two SportsCenter commercials as well. In 2005, Big Red placed second at the Universal Cheerleader Association’s Summer Camp in Knoxville, Tenn. Also, in 2005 Big Red was voted the favorite mascot (of participating schools) at the NCAA Mascot Mania celebration in Indianapolis, Ind.

WKU JOINS CONFERENCE USA Conference USA celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2014-15, welcoming newcomer Western Kentucky University into the fold on July 1. The league has transformed through its two decades, but the commitment to excellence, integrity, leadership and its student athletes in athletics, academics and community is unwavering. Conference USA enjoys a far-reaching fan base with its 14 members: Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP, UTSA and WKU. Since beginning competition in 1995, Conference USA teams have combined for 83 bowl appearances in football, 100 NCAA Tournament appearances in basketball including three Final Fours, 60 NCAA baseball appearances including six College World Series berths, 71 NCAA soccer tournament appearances including four trips to the College Cup, and 35 individual national champions in track and field and cross country. Success is not limited to athletic achievement, however, as 186 Conference USA student-athletes have garnered Academic All-America honors, 651 have achieved academic all-district laurels and thousands of student-athletes have earned their college degrees. Conference USA sponsors competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field) and 10 for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball).
The league promotes the scholar-athlete ideal, honoring outstanding achievement with numerous conference-sponsored academic awards, including the Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Commissioner’s Academic Medal as well as sportspecific All-Academic teams. C-USA annually awards $4,000 postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Awards, Scholar-Athletes of the Yeaar and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. Additionally, Conference USA presents a Spirit of Service Award three times each year, recognizing student-athletes who excel on the field, in the classroom and give back to the community through significant service efforts and participation.

Conference USA has significant representation in the NCAA governance structure. The presidents of the member institutions serve as the league’s Board of Directors.
A PROUD HISTORY Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995, in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996.
SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance of student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 19 years, more than 28,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom.
C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports.
The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and, after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. Marshall, Rice, SMU, Tulsa, UCF and UTEP became full-time Conference USA members for all sports in 2005. In 2013, charter member Charlotte returned to C-USA and was joined by new members FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. The membership is at 14 institutions with WKU joining the league on July 1, 2014.
C-USA membership include institutions within eight of the Top 40 media markets and four in the Top 25 according to Nielsen. C-USA home markets this year will include more than 13 million TV households, a 30 percent increase from two years ago.
C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of nontelevised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio
