"I expect Ebonie to play at an all-conference level this season, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. I can't imagine that there is a tougher competitor or a harder worker in the league. I am so proud of how far Ebonie has come during her career, and I look forward to her continued improvement this season." Jefferson scored in double figures in 14 of ASU s last 17 games a year ago, had 19 double-figure games on the season and led ASU in scoring with an 11.8 points-per-game average, a figure that climbed to 13.0 pointsper-game in Sun Belt Conference play. The Red Wolves return three of their top four scorers and four of the top five rebounders from last year s team that finished LAST TIME OUT: JONESBORO, Ark. (2/24/10) The Arkansas State women s basketball team (12-16, 7-1) had four players score in double figures and held New Orleans (10-18, 4-13) to just a.231 shooting percentage and 17 points in the second half to turn a one-point halftime lead into a convincing victory in a Sun Belt Conference West Division game at the Convocation Center Wednesday night. Shay Scott and NeNe Hurst both scored a game-high 16 points to lead the Red Wolves, while Ebonie Jefferson and Quinishia McDowell joined them in double figures with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Jefferson finished with a team-high five assists as well and narrowly missed her third double-double of the season with eight rebounds, also the most on the team. The game featured 11 lead changes and four ties before the Red Wolves claimed the lead for good on a three-point basket by McDowell just over two minutes into the second half that made the score The bucket started a 9-0 run for ASU that ended on a lay-up by Scott that took the Red Wolves lead to with 14:40 left in the game. The Privateers were able to cut the Red Wolves lead back to four points twice, the last with 5:26 remaining. However, ASU tacked on 11 more points while hold UNO scoreless the rest of the way to finish strong. It was certainly a different feeling from half to half, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. I was not very happy with the first half, especially on the defensive end. We really challenged them at halftime. New Orleans averages around 54 a game and they were on track to score 70 at halftime. I was proud of the team and the way they responded defensively in the second half. There was nothing that we did to adjust, we just played a lot harder and a lot smarter defensively and were able to hold them to 17 in the second half. After shooting 42 percent in the first half, UNO s shooting percentage dropped dramatically over the final 20 minutes and the Red Wolves forced the Privateers into five of their 19 turnovers over the decisive 5:26 to end the game. While ASU connected on just 2-of-9 shots from beyond the arc, it shot 41 percent from the field and made 75 percent of its free throws. UNO held a advantage on the boards, but committed 10 more turnovers. ASU finished with five more steals and one more assist than UNO. UNO built a lead, its largest of the game, just over 10 minutes into the contest and led with 3:35 left before the break. ASU responded with a 9-2 run to close the first half and take the momentum going into the locker room. UNO was led by three players scoring in double figures, including Rachele Monroe with a team-high 13 points. Talisha Bridges and Mirjam Sipos added 10 points each for UNO, while Ashley Gorsh pulled down a game-high nine rebounds. ASU closes out its regular season Saturday, Feb. 27 with a 3:05 p.m. game against Troy at the Convocation on the Red Wolves Senior Day. ASU IN SEASON OPENERS: The Red Wolves are all-time in season openers, with a record of 7-14 when opening the season on the road. Under head coach Brian Boyer, the Red Wolves are 6-5 in seasonopeners, including a 3-5 record when opening on the road. INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP: In an effort to help acclimate Arkansas State s international students to life in the United States, the ASU women s basketball program began a partnership with the university s international community by holding a basketball clinic Sunday evening at the ASU Convocation Center. Over 80 international students were on hand as the team members and coaching staff introduced themselves and introduced the students to Red Wolves women s basketball. The students joined the team on the court for drills and fundamental instruction, then enjoyed a pizza party to wrap up the night s activities. This is a semester-long project that got underway with the clinic last night, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. We wanted to let our international students know how much we appreciate them and to encourage them to be more involved with all of the activities on campus. We also wanted to increase their awareness of athletics here at Arkansas State, introduce them to the Convocation Center and allow them to get to know our team. Arkansas State s players will partner with an international student throughout the semester, meeting with the student for at least an hour each week to help them become familiar with Arkansas State and ease their transition to life in the United States. The women s basketball team will salute ASU s international students at the Nov. 18 home opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Next week s game has been designated as International Students Night at the Convocation Center. RED WOLVES ADD MORRILL: JONESBORO, ASU Women s Basketball 6

7 Ark. (11/11/09) Arkansas State head coach Brian Boyer announced Wednesday that Scott City, Mo. standout Jane Morrill has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue her basketball career at Arkansas State University. A 6 1 forward, Morrill is on pace to top the 1,000-point mark in her career at Notre Dame High School in Cape Girardeau, Mo. and averages 15.7 points and nine rebounds per game. She is a two-time All-Conference, All-District and All-Regional selection, earning conference MVP honors following her sophomore year with the Bulldogs. She has blocked 151 shots over the past two seasons at Notre Dame and is expected to finish her career as the school s all-time leader. From day one, Jane was our number one recruit, and we were so excited when she committed to us, said Boyer. She is going to be an impact front-line player at this level. She is not only a very good scorer, but she is a very versatile post player. She understands the game and passes it very well for a player her size. In addition to her skills on the basketball court, Morrill is a two-time All-State softball player at Notre Dame, also earning All- Conference, All-District and All-Regional honors along the way. She is the daughter of Alan and Carla Morrill. Jane is the total package, said Notre Dame head coach Renee Peters. She has size, shooting ability, passing ability, shot blocking ability and rebounding ability. She knows the game so well. She can see the game set up and know how to thread the needle with passes. She is also an excellent perimeter shooter and ball handler. You are not going to see many girls her size take the ball behind their back when they take someone one-on-one. But she isn t someone who worries about cushioning stats and making herself look better; she wants to win and however that falls in place is fine with her. QEDAN INKS WITH ASU: JONESBORO, Ark. (11/11/09) Arkansas State head coach Brian Boyer announced Wednesday that Hanna Qedan, a 5 11 guard from Farmington, Ark., has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Red Wolves lineup for the season. Hanna can really shoot the ball, said Boyer. To go along with that, she has very good size for a guard, so she is able to get a shot off on a lot of people. But the thing that really stands out about her is her explosiveness. She handles the ball just as well left or right, so she is more than just a shooter, she is a very good all-around guard. The Farmington High School standout averages 19.4 points per game, 11.0 rebounds per game and four blocks per game. She has 19 double-doubles so far in her career and owns a 32-point career-high game. She was named All-Conference and an AAO Top 25 Camp nominee. She was selected to the All-Northwest Arkansas team, the All- County team, the KURM Dream Team and was a Top 10 All-American Camp participant. Hanna is a tenacious player on both ends of the floor, said Farmington head coach Brad Johnson. She is a big guard who has a great face-up game. She can shoot it from outside, but probably her biggest asset is her explosiveness to the basket. She gets to the basket quickly with either hand and she is big enough and physical enough that she can take it down low and post up. She is a very versatile player and knowing the offensive sets that Coach Boyer runs at ASU, she is tailor-made for them offensively. She is the daughter of Bashar and Jeri Qedan. MADDOX SIGNS WITH ASU: JONESBORO, Ark. (11/11/09) Arkansas State head coach Brian Boyer announced Wednesday that Millington (Tenn.) Central guard/forward Olivia Maddox has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue her basketball career at ASU. Maddox, 5 11, was a Class 3-A All-State Tournament selection following her sophomore year in which she averaged 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game and helped lead Millington to a state runner-up finish. She was also named Memphis Best of Preps and earned All-District honors following the season. Olivia has been a part of one of the most successful programs in the Memphis area, said Boyer. In addition to being on a very successful team, they are very well balanced in terms of scoring. She is a great athlete who really fits our system well and is someone that our fans will enjoy watching over the next four years. Olivia is very athletic, very smooth to the basket and is a great offensive rebounder. It is unfortunate that she didn t get to play last year due to a knee injury, but her best basketball is ahead of her and we have all the confidence that she is going to be a great player for us. I think Arkansas State is getting a young lady with a lot of athleticism who has a lot of upside to her game, said Millington head coach Stan Gatlin. She has great rebounding ability, jumping ability and great defensive intensity. She has the ability to play different positions from the wing to the post and will be a great addition to Arkansas State s team. Maddox is the daughter of Rosalind Brown ASU Women s Basketball 7

8 Head Coach Brian Boyer Through 10 seasons as head coach at Arkansas State University, Brian Boyer s name has become synonymous with success and the women s basketball program. Entering his 11th season as head coach at ASU, Boyer has climbed to second place on the ASU career win chart with a record of Under Boyer s guidance, Arkansas State has reached the Women s National Invitation Tournament four times, including three of the past six seasons. He led the Red Wolves to the Sun Belt East Division Championship, the program has produced 17 All- Sun Belt Conference players with Boyer at the helm and Boyer was named Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year following the , and seasons. His 89 career Sun Belt Conference victories heading into the season rank him fourth all-time in career conference wins. Boyer directed the Red Wolves to yet another winning season as he wrapped up his first decade as the program s head coach in The Red Wolves finished the season at 16-14, posting victories over post-season participants Creighton and Arkansas-Little Rock along the way. Although the season was expected by many to be a rebuilding year, Boyer put forth what was arguably one of his finest coaching performances, molding a group of unheralded players into a team that produced yet another 20-win season at Arkansas State. Faced with the task of replacing three 1,000- point scorers, including the program s all time leading shot blocker and rebounder, along with the all-time assists leader, Boyer directed Arkansas State to a record. ASU won a record 13 conference games during the season, and reached the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament for the 13th time in 16 tries. The Red Wolves finished the season with the distinction of being the only Division I program in the country with a winning record that did not have a single player who averaged double figure scoring. Arkansas State posted victories over Brigham Young and Alabama early in the season, earning the win over the Crimson Tide on the road in Tuscaloosa. The Red Wolves finished 2007 with a 6-7 record, but went on a tear in the new year, closing out the season with a 14-5 finish and a run to the semifinals of the SBC Tournament for the fourth consecutive season. Like always, the team was especially tough at home, posting a 13-2 record at the ASU Convocation Center that included a 9-0 record against Sun Belt Conference opponents. In the season the Red Wolves finished 21-13, advanced to the second round of the WNIT before falling to eventual tournament runner-up Wisconsin, and continued to build on their already-impressive home record with a 14-2 mark at the ASU Convocation Center. The Red Wolves posted home victories over NCAA Tournament participants Oklahoma State and Louisiana-Lafayette, Southeastern Conference member Alabama and WNIT participants South Dakota State and Murray State. In all, 14 of the Red Wolves 34 games during the season were against teams that played in the NCAA or WNIT tournaments. The Red Wolves also reached the 10-victory milestone quicker than any other team in ASU history, picking up their 10th win of the season Jan. 3, 2007, and their 21-win total equaled the highest in Boyer s eight seasons. Under Boyer s guidance, several individual records fell during the season as well. Seniors Adrianne Davie and Rudy Sims rewrote the Red Wolves record books, with Davie shattering the career blocked shots record with 132 and the career rebounding record with 1,147. Sims set a new mark in career assists with 548 and became the first ASU player in over a decade to record a triple-double when she scored 14 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and handed out 10 assists in a overtime victory at Louisiana-Lafayette. Davie was named All-Sun Belt Conference for the fourth straight season, while Sims earned the honor for the third straight year. Senior Ali Carter became the 16th member of the career 1,000-point club. During the season, the Red Wolves posted a overall record against a schedule that included nine NCAA Tournament teams, and three that participated in the WNIT. A-State advanced to the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, and Davie earned first-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors for the third straight season. Davie also joined the ASU 1,000-point club, along with Sims and senior Amber Abraham. In the season, ASU put together a program-best 10- game Sun Belt Conference winning streak, part of an 11-game win streak that was the fourth longest in Red Wolves history. The Red Wolves finished the season overall and in second place in the Sun Belt East Division at 11-3, giving Boyer his first 20-win season as head coach. Arkansas State advanced to the quarterfinals of the WNIT Tournament, defeating SEC powers Mississippi State and Arkansas along the way. The second round victory over Arkansas was played in front of a Convocation Center record crowd of 10, 892. The team s success earned Boyer his second straight Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year Award. Boyer joined former Red Wolves coach Jerry Ann Winters as the only two ASU women s basketball coaches to win back-to-back coach of the year honors. Davie, Sims and Carter all earned All-Sun Belt honors following the season, marking the first time in Red Wolves history that three players earned all-conference honors in a single season. The season culminated with the program s first-ever regular season conference championship and a return to the WNIT. The Red Wolves fin ASU Women s Basketball 8
