3 WOMEN S BASKETBALL MEDIA SUPPLEMENT WOMEN S BASKETBALL OUTLOOK DEFENDING SOUTHLAND WEST DIVISION CO-CHAMPIONS Before last year, Sam Houston State women s basketball had not finished among the Southland Conference s top five teams since The 2011 Bearkats were predicted to finish sixth in the league s West Division in the preseason poll. But in a record-breaking season, Sam Houston head coach Brenda Welch-Nichols team rolled up an 11-5 league record to tie with UTSA as 2011 Southland Conference West Division co-champions. The title was the Bearkats first in 24 years of competition at the NCAA Division I level. The SHSU women s team was the No. 4 seed in the State Farm Southland Conference Tournament in Katy, the program s highest seed since 2000 when the Kats also were seeded fourth. ONE FOR THE BOOKS Sam Houston s women s basketball season was one for the record books. Compiling an overall season mark of 17-14, Sam Houston produced its first above.500 year since the Bearkat squad went In 24 years at the NCAA Division I level, Sam Houston had posted winning season marks only twice before (18-10 in 1996 and 18-9 in 1988). Sam Houston head coach Brenda Welch-Nichols was the leading scorer for that 1988 squad. The Bearkats 11-5 Southland record marked the Sam Houston women s highest league victory total since The team s third place finish in the overall Southland standings equaled the 1996 team s performance as the program s highest ever conference finish. Sam Houston opened non-conference play last season with a 6-3 record, the best start for a Sam Houston women s season since ELEVEN RETURNING LETTER WINNERS Losing only three non-starting players from last year, the Bearkat women are poised to be a factor in the 12 Southland campaign. The Sam Houston women return 64.2 of the 69.3 points they averaged during the campaign and 38.7 of the 42.0 rebounds the Kats pulled down. All five starters return including two All-Southland Conference honorees.

She begins her junior year ranked No. 16 in Sam Houston women s basketball career scoring with 787 points for a 13.3 career average. A candidate for Southland Conference Player of the Year honors in 2012, Martin ranked second in the league in three-point field goals, fourth in scoring, sixth in three-point percentage, seventh in assists, eighth in steals, 12th in free throw percentage and 20th in rebounds. Martin is one of five players named to the 2012 preseason All- Southland Conference first team voted by the league s head coaches. SEQUEENA THOMAS Sequeena Thomas, a 6-0 junior forward from Allentown, Penn., was Sam Houston s co-most Valuable Player with Britni Martin last year. Thomas earned second team All-Southland honors.

Sam Houston had not finished higher than eighth place and had earned a Southland Conference tournament berth only once in the previous six seasons. But five seasons of rebuilding efforts have paid off as Nichols fifth season at Sam Houston in turned out to be a record-breaker. Rolling up a overall record, Nichols Bearkats posted their first above.500 year since the squad went The Bearkats raced to an 11-5 Southland Conference mark to tie with UTSA as 2011 Southland West Division co-champions.

17 FOOTBALL MEDIA SUPPLEMENT 17 JAMENE CALDWELL As a member of head coach Brenda Nichols staff since she became Sam Houston State University s 10th women s basketball head coach, Jamene Caldwell has been a major factor in turning around a program that had not posted a winning record since 1996 into the squad that won the 2011 Southland Conference West Division championship. Caldwell serves as recruiting coordinator for the women s basketball program and is responsible for opponent scouting and video breakdown. Jamene Caldwell has proved herself as a coach, Nichols said. She is no stranger to me and this program and has helped us bring an extremely talented group of young ladies to Sam Houston State. She will help us continue to move this program in the right direction. In 2011, the Bearkats rolled up a overall record to post their first above.500 year since the squad went SHSU raced to an 11-5 Southland Conference mark to tie with UTSA as 2011 Southland West Division co-champions.

The 11 wins marked the women s highest league victory total since In 24 years at the NCAA Division I level, Sam Houston had posted winning women s basketball records only twice before (18-9 in 1988 and in 1996). Caldwell has worked with Nichols both as a coach and a player. Caldwell was a four-year letter winner at South Alabama where Nichols was an assistant coach. Later, Caldwell worked two seasons as an assistant for Nichols at Mercer University before coming to Sam Houston State with Nichols in At South Alabama, Caldwell was a four-year letter winner, ranking as one of the Jaguars all-time leading shot blockers. She played in 102 games during her South Alabama career, scoring 595 points and pulling down 367 rebounds.

She played in the Kentucky High School All-Star game and also was an Academic All-State selection. While at South Alabama, she was one of 300 athletes across the nation to be selected to attended the NCAA Leadership Conference in Jamene is a very talented person with that extra spunk that makes a successful coach, Nichols said. She is has been great here in Huntsville working in the community and with the players and will be a great fit for our program. Caldwell and her husband, Mike, have a two sons, Jalen and Ty. Caldwell is originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky.

As an assistant football coach, he tutored five cornerbacks who played in the National Football League. Becoming a director of athletics was a lifetime goal. I have always been a goal oriented person, said Williams. As a secondary coach, we set and met important goals on teams that ranked among the nation s defensive leaders. As an administrator, we set goals such as raising our department grade point averages, which we accomplished. As director of athletics, we have set goals. We have strived to bring this department to the forefront in computer technology, to improve our athletes academic standing and retention rates and to increase our revenue through fund raising and monies generated from bigger crowds at games. Three times in recent years, we achieved our most important goal -- winning the Southland Commissioner s Cup All-Sports Trophy. Not only does this achievement prove that each of our sports teams is vital to our program, but also it demonstrates the importance and contributions of every student athlete. Our staff s efforts will continue to be directed toward higher goals as we strive to make the Sam Houston experience the best it can be for our students.
