"Shay has had a tremendous career already, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. She is already moving up the all-time list for both scoring and rebounding here at Arkansas State. She has flirted with being a post-season all-conference player the past three years and now it appears that she is ready to become that player. She has had the best pre-season of her career and I am confident that this will continue through- MILESTONE PERFORMANCES 30+ POINT GAMES none...................................... n/a 20+ POINT GAMES none...................................... n/a SCORING DOUBLE FIGURES NeNe Hurst................................... 2 Jane Morrill................................... 2 Quinishia McDowell............................ 1 DOUBLE-FIGURE REBOUNDS none...................................... n/a FIVE OR MORE ASSISTS Quinishia McDowell............................ 1 THREE OR MORE BLOCKS NeNe Hurst................................... 1 Shay Scott................................... 1 RECORDS WATCH: Currently in the 2010-11 DOUBLE-DOUBLE season, senior forward Shay Scott is ranked none...................................... n/a 22nd on the all-time ASU scoring chart with 968 points.

were very few post prospects in our normal recruiting areas. Our staff had to stretch our recruiting base into different areas of the country, and I could not be happier with this signing class. Jasmine, Laura and Kieanna are each individually talented but more importantly they complement one another very well. Combine these three with the guards that we have sitting out this season and it makes for a strong freshmen class next season. LAST TIME OUT: CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (11/13/10) Arkansas State senior Jazmine Taylor s three-pointer with a second remaining bounced twice on the rim but wouldn t fall, allowing the 22nd-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes (2-0) to escape with a 50-47 victory over the Red Wolves (1-1) in the championship game of the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders Tip-Off Saturday afternoon at American Bank Center. Iowa broke a 40-40 tie on a pair of free throws from guard Kelsey Cermak with 5:16 remaining and led by five when guard Kamille Whalin knocked down a three-pointer at the 4:29 mark, but the Red Wolves battled back to within a point at 48-47 when guard NeNe Hurst drained a three-pointer with 45 seconds to play. Iowa forward Morgan Johnson put the Hawkeyes back up by three with a baseline jumper with 24 seconds remaining, giving Arkansas State a chance to tie on its final possession, but Taylor s jumper would not go down. Hurst led Arkansas State with 12 points, followed by guard Quinishia McDowell with 11. Both players were named to the all-tournament team. The theme of the day was that we didn t have to be better than Iowa, just outplay them for one game on one day, said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. Even at halftime, we said we only had to outplay them for 20 minutes. We did everything we wanted and we thought if we could get it within three or four we could make a run. They just hit a couple of huge shots, but our effort was absolutely outstanding. Defensively, we were great, added Boyer. Iowa is a team that last year averaged over 70 points a game, and they have every one of their players back. To hold them to 50 was an amazing defensive job. Arkansas State held the Hawkeyes to 16-of-54 shooting (29.6 percent) from the floor and 5-of- 28 (17.9 percent) from outside the three-point arc. The Red Wolves countered with 37.3 percent shooting, knocking down three more field goals (19-of-51) than the Hawkeyes, but Iowa hit 13-of15 from the free throw line while ASU was limited to 5-of-8. The two teams went to the locker room deadlocked at 29-29 at the half. Arkansas State battled back from an early seven-point deficit in the half, getting seven points from McDowell, six from freshman Jane Morrill and five from Hurst, and the defense held the Hawkeyes to 29 percent shooting to tie the game at the break. Hurst pulled down a team-high eight rebounds and four steals to go along with her 12 points and Morrill also finished in double figures for A-State with 10 points. Wahlin led Iowa with 14 points and guard Kachine Alexander added 12. Following the 2008-09 season, Jaz was voted as our team defensive MVP, said Boyer. And to go along with that, she is a true point guard and a true leader on the floor. We struggled at times last year with turning the ball over too often, so we certainly expect her to help us with that this season. Taylor is joined by Scott (North Little Rock, Ark.), who has etched her name in the ASU record books and has the potential to be one of the premiere post players in the Sun Belt Conference this year. Scott was second in scoring and rebounding for the Red Wolves a year ago, averaging 12.4 points and 7.3 rebounds. She scored in double figures in 22 games a year ago and pulled double-digit rebounds in eight others, posting seven double-doubles along the way to bring her career total to 18. Scott will enter her senior season at No. 8 on the ASU career rebounding chart with 667, 22nd on the scoring chart with 963 career points and at No. 5 on the career blocked shots chart with 76. I am really pleased with Shay heading into the season, Boyer said. I think her conditioning is at a higher level than at any time since she has been at Arkansas State. She is really locked in and has worked hard on her conditioning, knowing that this is her senior year. We are going to depend on her an awful lot this year. She is going to have to be a big scorer for us as well as a big rebounder. Hurst (St. Louis, Mo.) started in 29 games a year ago, and after being hampered by injuries in her SEASON OUTLOOK: As the 2010-11 season approaches, the pieces appear to be in place to return the Arkansas State women s basketball team to the winning ways that have become the standard during Brian Boyer s tenure as head coach. Injuries and inexperience played a key role in the Red Wolves sub-.500 record a year ago, but this year s team is healthy and built around a nucleus of veterans who are battletested in the Sun Belt Conference. The Red Wolves return three players who started more than 20 games a year ago, and the starting lineup will be further strengthened by the return of veteran point guard Jazmine Taylor. Taylor will join senior forward Shay Scott, junior ASU INDIVIDUAL GAME LEADERS guard NeNe Hurst and sophomore guard Quinishia McDowell as returning starters for the up- SCORING NeNe Hurst................................... 1 coming season.

first two seasons, appears ready to raise the level of her game this season. Hurst averaged 11.5 points per game and scored a career-high 20 points on the road at FIU and again in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament against UALR. She led the Red Wolves with 90 assists on the season and shot a teamhigh.795 from the free throw line. Hurst will enter her junior season at No. 20 on the ASU career steals chart with 105 and at No. 22 on the ASU career assists chart with 152. We all certainly hope that this is a healthy year for NeNe, because if it is, we are all going to see the real NeNe Hurst come out. She has been plagued with injuries throughout her career, but she has the potential to be an all-conference player and we hope that she has the type of year that will allow her to do that. McDowell (Monroe, La.) played in 29 games and started 19 as a freshman a year ago, averaging 6.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists. She proved to be tough when the game was on the line, hitting the winning shot in the final seconds of ASU s 77-76 win on the road at North Texas in mid-january. Q is the energy of this team, said Boyer. When she is on the floor, the speed and energy level of our team increases, and she is a scorer. I think she compliments Jaz well in that she can play either the point or off guard and at either of those positions, she gives us a scoring threat. Senior guard/forward Breaunna Ellison is expected to provide versatility and depth. Ellison (The Colony, Texas) played in 29 games a year ago after transferring to ASU from Lon Morris College and averaged just over a point and a rebound per outing. Coming into this year, we had a hole to fill with the loss of Ebonie Jefferson and what she gave us defensively, her athleticism, her ability to get to the basket and her toughness and rebounding. That is the role that Bri will fill for us this year, so I am excited about her drive and desire and we look for her to replace some of what we lost with Ebonie. Junior guard Meghan Lewis started 10 games a year ago and is a constant threat from beyond the three-point arc. Lewis averaged 6.3 points and 23.2 minutes a year ago and scored a career-high 18 points on the road at Western Kentucky. The St. Louis, Mo. native knocked down five three-pointers against the Hilltoppers, averaged just over a steal a game and blocked 13 shots on the season. We saw the strides that Meghan made from her freshman season to her sophomore season, and she is such a dangerous threat from behind the three-point line. Boyer continued. I think we will see a different level of maturity from her this year on the court, and she always has that potential to have a breakout game. Sophomore guard Andi Watson (Jonesboro, Ark.) played in 23 games as a true freshman, with sophomore LaWanda Clayborn (Memphis, Tenn.) seeing time in 20 a year ago. Both are expected to see increased playing time in the upcoming season, as will sophomore guard/forward Jasmine Taylor. Taylor (Memphis, Tenn.) played in 20 games last year and saw her playing time increase in the latter stages of the season, logging 18 minutes per game in back-to-back February outings on the road at UALR and New Orleans. These three players are a group that may make or break our season, said Boyer. Each of them have great potential. They all got valuable experience last year, and I would consider them all as the most improved players on this team. Andi Watson has really improved and we expect her to be a difference-maker for us defensively, said Boyer. She is shooting the ball much better than I ever imagined she would. LaWanda brings immediate scoring to the team. She has a knack for scoring. If the rest of her game, the defense and toughness develops, she has a chance to really help this team. Jasmine can really be a benefit to our team because of her shooting ability and her overall understanding of the game of basketball. Sophomore guard Lunden Roberts, who prepped at Batesville Southside, will sit out the season after transferring to ASU from Western Illinois. Five true freshmen join the Red Wolves for the 2010-11 slate, with forward Jane Morrill (Scott City, Mo.) expected to challenge early for a spot in the starting lineup. Morrill averaged 13.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game during her four years at Notre Dame High School and was named All-District, All-Conference and All-State following her junior and senior seasons. We need Jane to step in and help us immediately, Boyer said. She has a lot of tools in that she can really shoot the ball, she is a good decision maker and she has the size to be a really good defender. In our system, she fits what we need at forward because of her ability to pass the ball as well as score. Forward Lexy Harris (Houston, Texas) averaged a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) and five blocked shots per game during her career at Dekaney High School, and was named District MVP following her senior season. Guard/forward Mekena Randle (Madison, Al.) also put up double-double numbers each night during her senior season at Bob Jones High School. Randle averaged 15 points and 12 rebounds to go along with four assists and three steals and played in the Mississippi-Alabama High School All-Star game after earning All- Metro honors. I ve been very impressed with Lexy during the preseason, said Boyer. She is a very athletic front line player who will be very valuable for us as a compliment to Shay Scott. We will need her to be a spark for us at times, and athletically she is very capable of coming in and being a very good rebounder and defender. Mekena, even as a freshman, is probably the best athlete on our team, added Boyer. What she is capable of doing right away is being able to beat people off the dribble. As the year goes along, we look for her to improve her perimeter shooting, and when she does, she is going to be very effective for us offensively. Freshman guards Hanna Qedan and Olivia Maddox will both redshirt this year after undergoing surgery in the preseason. Qedan (Farmington, Ark.) averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds during her senior season at Farmington, while Maddox averaged almost seven points and eight rebounds while earning All-District and All-State Tournament accolades during her senior season at Millington (Tenn.) High School. As Boyer begins his 12th season at the helm of the ASU women s basketball program, he has the opportunity to surpass all other ASU basketball coaches, both women s and men s, in career victories. With 181 wins under his belt, Boyer needs just 16 victories to take over first place as the winningest basketball coach in A-State history. Currently ranked fifth all-time in the Sun Belt Conference for career wins, Boyer also has the opportunity to post his 100th SBC victory as he enters the season with 96 league wins to his credit. To reach those goals, Boyer and the Red Wolves will face a schedule that is challenging both in and out of Sun Belt Conference play. Fourteen home games, including matchups with six teams that advanced to post-season play following the 2009-10 season, highlight the schedule. The Red Wolves open the regular season Nov. 12-13 in Corpus Christi, Texas at the Texas A&M- Corpus Christi Islanders Tip-Off Tournament. Arkansas State will take on host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the opening round before facing Iowa or Southern in round two. Following the Islanders Tip-Off, A-State will return to the ASU Convocation Center Nov. 15 for the home 2010-11 ASU Women s Basketball 6
opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the first of three consecutive home games for the Red Wolves. The Red Wolves will host Saint Louis Nov. 19, then welcome Big East power and 2010 NCAA Tournament participant St. John s to the Convocation Center for a Nov. 22 clash. Arkansas State will return to Texas for three games Nov. 24-27, visiting Texas-Arlington Nov. 24 before playing in the SMU Hoops for the Cure Tournament Nov. 26-27. ASU will face SMU in the opening round before taking on Akron or Georgia Southern in the second-round matchup. I am very pleased with this year s schedule, said Boyer. We will be a part of two tournaments that are set up to be very challenging, with every possible opponent in both tournaments winning at least 18 games last year. Our nonconference home schedule should be challenging and very entertaining for our fans. St. Johns is a potential top-25 team and both Charlotte and Stephen F. Austin will most likely be post-season teams. Each of our non-conference road opponents should really test us as we prepare for the Sun Belt Conference. The Red Wolves will host Henderson St. Nov. 30 before road trips to Missouri State (Dec. 5) and Louisiana Tech (Dec. 15). Four consecutive home games follow the Louisiana Tech matchup, including the final two non-conference games of the season. Charlotte and Stephen F. Austin, both of which advanced to the WNIT following last season, will visit Jonesboro Nov. 19 and 21, and the Red Wolves will open Sun Belt Conference play by hosting South Alabama Dec. 30 in an double-header with the ASU men s basketball team. Western Kentucky, also a 2010 WNIT participant, will wrap up the four-game home stand Jan. 2. Middle Tennessee and Arkansas-Little Rock, both 2010 NCAA Tournament participants, will also visit the ASU Convocation Center, along with SBC foes Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana- Monroe, Denver and North Texas. The Sun Belt Conference Tournament is scheduled for March 5-8 at Summit Arena in Hot Springs. times, including three of the past seven seasons. He led the Red Wolves to the 2003-04 Sun Belt East Division Championship, the program has produced 18 All-Sun Belt Conference players with Boyer at the helm, and Boyer was named Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year following the 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. His 96 career Sun Belt Conference victories rank him fifth all-time in career conference wins. The 2009-10 Red Wolves finished the year at 13-18 under Boyer, with a 7-11 mark in Sun Belt Conference action. Although Arkansas State did finish under.500 on the year and below the lofty standards that Boyer has maintained during his tenure, the Red Wolves did advance to the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament before falling late to the eventual tournament champions. The Red Wolves posted an 80-79 overtime victory on the road against Big XII power Kansas State, and that overtime win, coupled with three other extra-period victories during the season, boosted Boyer s overtime record to an impressive 11-1 in the regular season. Boyer directed the Red Wolves to yet another winning season as he wrapped up his first decade as the program s head coach in 2008-09. 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 2007-08 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 20-12 record. ASU won a record 13 conference games during the 2007-08 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 2007-08 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 2006-07 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 2006-07 season were against teams that played in the NCAA or WNIT tournaments. The 2006-07 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 2006-07 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 65-58 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 2005-06 season, the Red Wolves posted a 15-15 overall record against a schedule that included nine NCAA Tournament teams, and three that participated in the WNIT. The Tribe advanced to the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, and Davie earned firstteam 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 2004-05 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 21-11 overall and in second place in the Sun Belt East Division at 11-3, giving Boyer his first 20-win season as head coach. The Tribe 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 HEAD COACH BRIAN BOYER: Through 11 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 12th season as head coach at ASU, Boyer has climbed to second place on the ASU career win chart with a record of 181-153 and needs just 16 victories to take over first place as the all-time winningest basketball coach in A-State history. Under Boyer s guidance, Arkansas State has reached the Women s National Invitation Tournament four 2010-11 ASU Women s Basketball 7
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 2004-05 season, marking the first time in Red Wolves history that three players earned all-conference honors in a single season. The 2003-04 season culminated with the program s first-ever regular season conference championship, and a return to the WNIT. The Red Wolves finished 19-10 overall and 10-4 in league play, earning a share of the Sun Belt East division title as they posted one of the top turnarounds in Division I, picking up seven more wins than the previous season. ASU s 19 victories that season were the most since the 1997-98 season, sparked in part by the best start in ASU women s basketball history a seven game win streak to open the season. The strong start carried over into Sun Belt play as the Red Wolves held the top spot in the East division from start to finish. Davie earned honorable-mention all-conference honors as a true freshman, and Boyer was rewarded with his first conference Coach of the Year Award. The 2002-03 season capped a pair of rebuilding years and resulted in a strong finish and a trip to the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. As a women's assistant, Boyer and Missouri Western made two NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Final Four in 1995 and the Elite Eight the previous season. The team went 31-3 in 1995 and made it to the Final Eight of the national tournament. It also went undefeated through its MIAA schedule at 16-0. In 1994, the team finished third in the nation, losing in a national semifinal contest and finishing with a 29-3 overall mark. In his four seasons at Arkansas State as an assistant coach, Boyer and the Red Wolves earned a 75-42 mark. The 1998-99 team went 18-14 with a trip to the Women's NIT. In the process, ASU earned wins over nationally ranked Virginia and Kansas. The Red Wolves won 20 games in back-to-back seasons in the 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons. The 1997 team opened the season with a victory over nationally ranked Illinois and had a 12- game winning streak during the season, the second longest in school history. The 1998 squad knocked off nationally ranked Western Kentucky at the Convocation Center and came within four points of scoring an upset over national power Louisiana Tech at home as well. In his first season at ASU, the Red Wolves won 17 games despite having just seven scholarship players. In his first season as head coach of the Red Wolves, Boyer led ASU to its first-ever Top 25 national ranking, 18 victories, and a trip to the WNIT Tournament. The Red Wolves 18 victories gave Boyer the most wins by a first-year coach at ASU since Sara Wooley won 19 games in her first season in 1979. The Red Wolves opened the season by winning 10 of their first 11 games, including road wins over Southern Miss and nationally ranked Kansas, giving ASU a No. 25 ranking in the Associated Press poll the following week. The Red Wolves finished the season at 18-12 overall, ending the year with the program s second straight invitation to the WNIT. Boyer came to ASU in 1995 spending four seasons as an assistant for former head coach Jeff Mittie, who is now the head coach at TCU. A graduate of Missouri Western State College in St. Joseph, Mo., with a bachelor's degree in education, Boyer was an assistant coach for the men's program for six seasons, including the last three, which he spent as an assistant with the women's program as well. As an assistant to the men's team, Missouri Western was a NCAA Division II Tournament participant five years (1990, 1991, 1992, 1994 and 1995) and won two conference championships. The team made the Sweet 16 in 1990. 2010-11 ASU Women s Basketball 8
