2 Under the leadership of head coach Brian Boyer, who enters his 16th season on the bench at A-State, the Red Wolves look to build upon the success generated from a historic season one year ago. The Red Wolves enter their 41st season riding a wave of success generated by the program s first-ever outright regular season Sun Belt Conference championship and ninth appearance in the WNIT postseason tournament. Coupled with a host of returning talent that includes SBC Sun Belt Conference Player of Year Aundrea Gamble and seniors Hanna Qedan and Jasmine Hunt the edition of Arkansas State women s basketball figures to be in the mix for another SBC championship. A-State s rise to the top of the conference standings included 14 league wins, the most in school history, and a overall record which was the most wins since A-State concluded the season with an invitation to the WNIT postseason tournament. The 22 wins were the second most in the Sun Belt Conference and the tied for the most in school history. The Red Wolves also became one of the best shooting teams in the nation thanks to a field goal percentage of 44.3 that ranked 34th best by season s end. While the team loses some valuable talent at the post, it returns three starters, including two of its top four scoring threats that helped the team reach the Sun Belt Conference Tournament finals. A-State brings back nine letterwinners that accounted for over 60 percent of the scoring and 57 percent of the team s rebounds. The Red Wolves must replace Jane Morrill, who provided a strong presence in the post in each of the previous four years. Additionally, the team must find replacements for Carlisha and Carlette Wyatt who accounted for over 200 of the team s rebounds. Senior Jasmine Hunt, who had a career night on Jan. 11 with 17 points against South Alabama, figures to push for a spot in the starting rotation while the addition of three freshman forwards while figure into the mix and will push for playing as their skill sets develop. A-State also returns much of its nucleus in the backcourt, including Gamble who shattered the A-State record books in her first season. The redshirt junior averaged 18.9 points per game, including three 30-point performances, and was the team s second best rebounder with 6.5 boards per night. Fellow junior Brittney Gill and sophomore Jamie Ruffins, each of whom split time as starters, return to give A-State one of the most experienced backcourt trios in the Sun Belt. A-State also welcomes five new faces three of which stand 6-foot-2 or taller. Amanda Law- son, who sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, will also suit up for the first time and will give Arkansas State one of the most dynamic guard combinations in the league. FRONTCOURT For the first time in four seasons Jane Morrill will not be patrolling the paint for A-State when the season begins in November. Replacing the three-time All-Sun Belt Conference selection will not be an easy task but A-State is well equipped to take on the challenge. Senior Jasmine Hunt will step into the role that Morrill and instantly provides a physical presence. At 6-foot-2, Hunt has the size and strength to matchup with any of counterparts and has shown the ability to be an asset on the offensive end of the floor as well. The Houston, Texas native scored a career-high 17 points at the Convocation Center last season and enjoyed her best season to date as a junior. She averaged nearly 10 minutes a game scoring almost four points and three rebounds per contest. As her time on the court grows, so should her stats along with her ability to be a dominant force in the post. The Red Wolves are also faced with the task of replacing twin sisters Carlette and Carlisha Wyatt who both provided valuable minutes. Carlisha finished third on the team with 5.4 rebounds a night, while scoring nearly six points per contest. Charged with replacing her will be incoming freshmen Aaliya Warren, Lauren Bradshaw and Ogo Obinabo. Warren was a 2014 McDonald s All- Returning Players 2 Hanna Qedan (G, 5-11, Sr., Farmington, Ark.) 3 JKhadija Brown-Haywood (G, 5-11, Jr., Centralia, Ill.) 12 Jamie Ruffins (G, 5-8, So., Little Rock, Ark.) 13 JBrittany Fowler (G, 5-8, So., Leachville, Ark.) 21 Jessica Flanery (G, 5-10, So., Mountain View, Ark.) 23 Jasmine Hunt (F, 6-2, So., Houston, Texas) Aundrea Gamble (G, 5-9, Jr., McKinney, Texas) Dominique Oliver (G, 5-6, So., Rowlett, Texas) SEASON OUTLOOK American nominee and was awarded the Outstanding Post award at the 2013 Texas Best of the Best AAU Tournament. Bradshaw averaged 12.5 points and 11.5 rebounds during her senior season at Mesquite Horn High School in Texas and was also a 2014 McDonald s All- American Nominee. Obinabo led Plano High School in rebounds with 13.9 per night and was named a district defensive MVP in the state. Her ability to block shots and cause chaos in the paint could be a vita asset once the Red Wolves start conference play at the end of December. Junior-college transfer Amanda Lawson will also provide depth in the frontcourt but can also slide into the backcourt as well. Lawson was named to the CUSA All- Freshman team at Houston after scoring 9.1 points and grabbing 6.1 rebounds per game. At Kilgore College she scored 12.6 points per outing, while grabbing 6.5 boards and dishing out nearly three assists per night. BACKCOURT The A-State backcourt will arguably be the most exciting and experienced area of the team for this upcoming season. The team returns every member of last year s backcourt including two starters in Aundrea Gamble and Hanna Qedan. The duo has big expectations heading into this season and will hope to build off of their success from last year. Gamble, who averaged 18.9 points, and 6.5 rebounds last year as a redshirt junior while earning the

3 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year award, last year is one of the unquestioned leaders of this year s squad. Gamble comes into this season having started every game last year. Qedan and Brittney Gill are two other huge returning starters for this upcoming season. Qedan returns after averaging 10.5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game last year while Gill returns after averaging 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds last year. Both players also return valuable experience as well with both having started 55 games combined a year ago. Both junior Jessica Flanery and sophomore Jamie Ruffins add returning starting experience to the team this year as well. The pair combined to start 12 games last year with Flanery averaging 3.3 points per contest while Ruffins averaged 2.3 points per game. Both players will look to build off of last year as they enter this season. The backcourt also carries quality depth into this season. Both junior Khadi Brown-Haywood and sophomores Brittany Fowler and Dominique Oliver all return to give this area of the team quality depth heading into the season. All three players received playing time last year while all averaging at least 3 minutes per contest. Each player will look to increase their individual roles this year as they enter this upcoming season. Two incoming freshmen, Christyal Holloway and Akasha Westbrook, will also provide depth and could push for playing time by the start of conference play in January.
