VICTORY OVER TOLEDO: In its 64-56 victory over defending WNIT champion Toledo Nov. 27, Arkansas State shot a season-high.773 from the free throw line and drained a season-high nine three pointers. The 56 points scored by the Rockets were the fewest allowed by ASU this season, and the Red Wolves committed a season-low 11 turnovers. HITTING THE THREE: Heading into the season, sophomore transfer Lunden Roberts was expected to be one of the Red Wolves leading three-point shooters, but had gone 0-for-4 from beyond the arc in ASU s first three games. Roberts finally broke the ice when she connected from long-range in the Red Wolves 64-56 victory over Toledo and finished the game 2-for- 3 from three-point range. Roberts followed that up with another 2-for-3 performance Nov. 29 at SEMO. She had her best shooting performance of the season Dec. 10 against Tulsa, when she hit four three-pointers in the Red Wolves 80-70 victory. 23. McDowell went 7-of-11 from the field and also added seven rebounds and three assists. In the second meeting, McDowell helped the Red Wolves get some revenge, scoring a teamhigh 20 points, including a 10-for-13 effort from the line. THE JANE TRAIN: Arkansas State rode the Jane Train to an 84-71 victory over Texas A&M- Corpus Christi Nov. 20 when sophomore forward Jane Morrill poured in 31 points, including 23 in the second half. For her efforts against the Islanders, she was named Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week Nov. 22. It was the first 30- point scoring performance by an ASU player since Adrienne Davie hit for at least 30 four times during the 2006-07 season. It was also the fifthhighest scoring total ever by an ASU player at The Convo and is tied for the highest point total scored by any Sun Belt Conference player this season. ALL OLVERA THE PLACE: Junior transfer guard Ashley Olvera was all over the court in helping ASU defeat TAMUCC 84-71 Nov. 20. Olvera filled out the box score with a career-high 21 points, a career-high six steals, four assists and one blocked shot against the Islanders. RANDLE FINDS THE HANDLE: Sophomore guard/forward Mekena Randle had no trouble finding the ball during A-State s victory over TAMUCC Nov. 20. Randle ripped down a game and career-high 11 rebounds against the Islanders. Her previous career-high was two rebounds, set in last year s season opener, also against TAMUCC. ASU IN HOME OPENERS: In 12 seasons under head coach Brian Boyer, Arkansas State s record in home openers stands at 12-1 after Sunday s 84-71 victory over Texas A&M Corpus Christi. The Red Wolves have won 11 consecutive home openers under Boyer. THE RED WOLVES RECENTLY: JONES- BORO, Ark. (1/14/2012) After taking a fourpoint lead into the locker room at halftime, the Arkansas State Red Wolves (7-11, 1-4) fell victim to cold shooting and a 24-5 UALR run to BIG GAMES FOR Q : Junior Quinishia Mc- Dowell posted her best games of the young season in the Red Wolves two contests against Tulsa. McDowell led the Red Wolves with a season-high 18 points in ASU s loss at Tulsa Nov. 2011-12 A-State Women s Basketball 5
open the second half and the Trojans (8-10, 3-2) left Jonesboro with a 64-57 victory in Sun Belt Conference women s basketball action Saturday afternoon at the ASU Convocation Center. Senior guard NeNe Hurst-McLennan led ASU with 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting, and sophomore forward Jane Morrill added 15 points and a team-high nine rebounds. Arkansas State trailed much of the first half, but took a 20-19 lead when junior guard Ashley Olvera knocked down a pair from the line with 4:24 remaining before the break. Sophomore guard Lunden Roberts scored the final six points of the half for the Red Wolves, connecting on a layup and free throw before dropping in a threepointer with 2:44 remaining that sent ASU to the locker room with a 26-22 advantage. The Red Wolves hit just 1-of-22 shots to open the second half to help UALR build a 15-point lead in the final 20 minutes. After shooting 27.6 percent in the first half, the Trojans countered with 14-of-25 (.560) shooting in the final 20 minutes and used their 24-5 run to build a 46-31 lead with 8:16 to play. It was a game of flows for us, both good and bad, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. I think we gave up nine points in the first four minutes and they were on track to score 90, but from that point until the end of the half, we gave up just 13. We really buckled down defensively and felt good about things. The second half started the exact same way, with UALR scoring on their first five possessions. They really had us on our heels from that point forward. The Red Wolves stopped UALR s second-half run when Hurst-McLennan hit a long-range three-pointer and a layup to cut the Trojan advantage to 46-36 with 5:59 to go. Junior Quinishia McDowell made it a single-digit game at 46-37 with a free throw just over a minute later, but UALR stopped the 6-0 ASU run with a bucket from freshman Taylor Gault, who led all scorers with 26 points. The Trojans built their lead back to 13 at 56-43 on a pair of free throws from sophomore Taylor Ford with 2:08 remaining before the Red Wolves put together a final rally. Four straight points from Morrill sparked a 10-2 run from ASU that pulled the Red Wolves to within five when senior Meghan Lewis scored inside to make it 58-53 with 1:04 to play, but UALR hit 6-of-7 free throws in the final minute to secure the victory. NEXT UP: The Red Wolves will return to The Convo Jan. 21 to host Louisiana-Lafayette in a 3:05 p.m. SBC-West contest. Christi Sunday afternoon, forward Jane Morrill has been named Sun Belt Conference Women s Basketball Player of the Week, the league announced Tuesday. Morrill poured in a career-high 31 points in the win over the Islanders. With ASU down by nine in the second half, Morrill broke out for 23 points in the final 20 minutes to help ASU win going away.

an ASU player since the 2006-07 season. I m happy for Jane her second half against Corpus Christi was one of the most impressive halves of basketball I have seen by an individual while at Arkansas State, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. Jane is still just scratching the surface of how good she can be, and with her strong work ethic she is going to continue to improve all season long. and Pioneers were picked as the favorites to win the league s East and West Divisions, respectively. "I think there is a lot of guess-work in our Division this year, Boyer added. Each team has significant players coming back, but each graduated some very good players too. We fall into that category as well. I think the coaches in this league recognize that we have a good deal of talent coming back but there is still some uncertainty of how we will perform without Shay (Scott) and Jaz (Taylor). Overall, second is probably a very fair prediction at this time." field goals by a female. A member of the MVHS softball team and an honor roll scholar, Flanery is the daughter of Jimmy and Linnay Flanery and is coached by Steve Ross. She plans to major in Sports Medicine at ASU. Jessica is an all-around good player, said Boyer. In high school she has played both guard and post, and those experiences will benefit her once she gets to college. She has the versatility that you like in a guard when you are running a motion offense. I also believe that defensively, her size and strength will allow her to defend several positions. Signing her early will allow me time to be creative in finding a way to use her field-goal kicking skills. We may come up with a full court out of bounds play where she kicks it the length of the court, if that s legal. I m looking forward Jessica, Xena and Sandy joining our program, Boyer added. We have signed three in-state guards that are very well coached; their high school coaches have prepared them very well for the next level. It also is exciting to sign three players that rarely lose. Xena and Sandy have only lost one game during the past two seasons combined, and Jessica led her team to a state championship last year, while only losing two games during the season. We have added three players to our roster that know how to win. SBC HONORS: Arkansas State senior NeNe Hurst has been named preseason first-team All- Sun Belt Conference, and the Red Wolves are picked second behind Denver in the SBC West Division preseason poll, the conference office announced Tuesday morning. The all-conference selections and poll are voted on by the league s 12 head coaches. The all-conference team and poll were released in conjunction with the league s annual Sun Belt Conference Media Days, which got underway Tuesday using web-based video conferencing to give media members across the nation access to the league s head coaches. In my opinion, NeNe is definitely a first team allconference player, and when it's all said and done she will make a push for player of the year, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. There are not many players in this conference that can positively affect all aspects of the game like she can. She can play four out of five positions, she's capable of being our leading scorer and rebounder and most likely is our best defender. An All-SBC Tournament selection a year ago after leading ASU to the semifinals, Hurst started all 32 games for the Red Wolves and led the team in scoring at 11.8 points-per-game. One of the top rebounding guards in the league, Hurst averaged 6.1 boards per game to rank second on the team and 17th overall in the Sun Belt. She led the Red Wolves in steals at 2.3 per game, a figure that also ranked second in the league and 95th nationally. She scored in double-figures in 24 games last season and posted her first career double-double when she finished with 15 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in the Red Wolves victory at North Texas. Hurst scored a career-high 28 points in ASU s victory at Troy, notched a career-high eight steals in the Red Wolves win over South Alabama and was named to the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders Tip-Off all-tournament team. Hurst enters her senior season ranked 20th at ASU in career scoring, 19th in career rebounding, 13th in career assists, ninth in career steals, 12th in blocked shots and 13th in three-pointers made. Middle Tennessee s Ebony Rowe and Denver s Kaetlyn Murdoch were named as the preseason Co-Players of the Year, while the Blue Raiders RED WOLVES INK THREE: Arkansas State head women s basketball coach Brian Boyer announced Nov. 9 that guards Xena King and Sandy Jackson of North Little Rock (Ark.) and forward Jessica Flanery of Mountain View (Ark.) have all signed National Letters of Intent to continue their careers with the Red Wolves. King, a 5 11 combo guard, averaged 12.2 points and 3.8 rebounds during her junior season, while Jackson averaged 11.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists and is a two-time all-state and allconference performer. The duo led North Little Rock High School to a 31-0 record and the Class 7A State Championship during the 2009-10 season and a 28-1 mark that included a trip to the 7A semifinals during their junior season. Jackson is the daughter of Michael and Sandra Jackson and plans to major in Business, while King is the daughter of Rebecca Cunningham and Anthony King and plans to major in Athletic Training. Jackson and King are coached by Daryl Fimple at NLRHS. Xena is a very athletic guard, said Boyer. In fact, she ll be as athletic as any guard in the Sun Belt Conference. She is also a very good perimeter shooter and the combination of her athletic ability and her shooting touch is going to allow her to be very successful at the next level. Sandy will be able to play either the point or offguard spot in college, said Boyer. Defensively is where she can make an immediate impact at the collegiate level; she can defend numerous positions because of her strength and toughness. The quality that you love about Sandy is her leadership ability. Whether on her high school team or AAU team, it is obvious that Sandy is a great teammate and a great leader. As a junior at Mountain View, Flanery averaged 15 points in the playoffs to lead the Yellowjackets to the 2010-11 Class 3A State Championship. Named the Most Valuable Player of the Class 3A state tournament, Flanery helped Mountain View to a 32-2 record on the season while averaging 19 points and six rebounds. She also holds state record in football for the most points scored, most extra points and most 2011-12 A-State Women s Basketball 7
