Arkansas State also shot.434 from the field against the Golden Hurricane, which was its second-highest percentage of the season. MORE FREE THROW SUCCESS: Forward Jane Morrill has been strong from the free throw line all season, shooting a team-high 92 percent, but the sophomore from Scott City, Mo. has made a living at the line in the past two games. Morrill hit 10-of-11 free throws against Tulsa Dec. 10, then repeated the performance against Louisiana Tech Dec. 13. Her 20-for-22 performance in the two games combined represents 50 percent of her total points in the two games. BLOCK PARTY: The Red Wolves blocked a season-high five shots Dec. 10 in their 80-70 victory over Tulsa, with junior guard Ashley Olvera swatting away a career-best three shots. Olvera s three blocks were the most for any ASU player in a game this season. MORRILL NAMED ALL-TOURNEY: Arkansas State sophomore forward Jane Morrill was named to the All-Tournament team at the Arizona State Classic last weekend. Morrill averaged 13.5 points and seven rebounds in the Red Wolves' two games. The team-leader in free throw percentage on the season, Morrill hit 8-of- 9 at the tournament to bring her yearly total to 26-of-28 (.928) and has scored in double-figures in all seven ASU's games this season. 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.

The Lady Techsters then made it a 15-point game at 60-45 on a free throw from Kiara Young with 7:54 to play. Arkansas State stayed within striking distance, cutting the Tech advantage to nine twice in the final four minutes, but Tech answered each time and the Red Wolves could not get within 10 in the final two minutes.

Tipoff against the LadyJacks is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Arkansas State will return to the ASU Convocation Center Dec. 20 to host the Lady Bears of Missouri State. MORRILL NAMED SBC PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Following her performance in Arkansas State s 84-71 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus 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. The sophomore from Scott City, Mo. shot.541 from the floor in the game (13-24), connected on her only three-point attempt and hit 4-5 from the free throw line (.800). She also pulled down eight rebounds in the game, six of which were on the offensive glass and only committed two turnovers in 37 minutes of playing time. Her 31- point total is tied for the most by any Sun Belt player this season, is the fifth-highest total ever scored by an ASU player at the Convocation Center and is the first 30-point performance by 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. 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 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 signif- 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 2011-12 A-State Women s Basketball 4
icant 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." THE RED WOLVES AT HOME: The Red Wolves have posted a record of 227-73 at the ASU Convocation Center since its opening in 1987, for a winning percentage of.755. 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 ASU INDIVIDUAL GAME LEADERS 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 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. SEASON OUTLOOK: As the 2011-12 season gets underway, the Arkansas State Red Wolves hope to utilize a core group of returning players and ride a wave of momentum back into postseason play. That momentum started in the final month of the 2010-11 season, when A-State won six of its final seven games to reach the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and end the season with 18 victories. Included in those 18 victories was the 197th career win for head coach Brian Boyer, making him the winningest head coach in the history of Arkansas State women s or men s basketball. Arkansas State defeated UALR 54-51 in the regular-season finale to add the milestone to Boyer s resume, then added a pair of wins in the positions because of her strength and toughness.

It also is 2011-12 A-State Women s Basketball 5
when it s all said and done she is a player that could be a candidate for player of the year. Very few players in this league impact every phase of the game like she does. NeNe could be your leading scorer, your leading rebounder and at times your best defender. She s just a very good all-around player. McDowell was third on the Red Wolves team in scoring a year ago, averaging 10.2 points-pergame, scoring in double figures 18 times and posting two double-doubles. She was also third in steals at 1.9 per game, a figure that ranked seventh in the SBC. Q is a player that brings experience, being a two-year starter for us, said Boyer. I was really pleased with her off-season this year. She came in bigger and stronger and I think it s going to allow her to withstand the entire season. She is scoring and shooting the ball with more consistency than she did in past years. The other thing you get with Q is just her leadership skills; she truly buys into and gets what our program is all about, on the court and off the court. She s just a great role model and a great leader for this team. Senior Meghan Lewis played in all 32 games a year ago, started the final seven, and was a key factor in the Red Wolves late-season run as she averaged almost 15 points-per-game during that stretch. A constant threat from outside the threepoint arc, she knocked down a career-high seven treys in ASU s road victory over Troy last season and finished with a team-high 44 threepointers on the year. I m thrilled with Meghan Lewis right now, said Boyer. The way she faced the year last year, the first 15-17 minutes of the game. We re going to need her out there a lot. Where she s going to help this team is her scoring ability, not only in the post, but her ability to step out and shoot the three. She s a very dangerous, very versatile offensive player. Junior Andi Watson played in 26 games for the Red Wolves a year ago, starting in 10 of those contests and averaging 2.8 points and 2.0 rebounds. Last year Andi went from freshman not playing to a sophomore that kind of bounced around a lot, said Boyer. From starting to not starting, to not playing much, to playing a lot. What I m seeing right now is more consistency. It starts with her defensively; she capable of being our best defender. We are still trying to get her to become more of a scoring threat, but she s getting there. Sophomore Mekena Randle saw action off the bench in 13 games a year ago, averaging just under a point and a rebound on the year. I m very happy with Mekena right now, said Boyer. She has made very good strides since last year, starting on the defensive end. She is very athletic and can defend a lot of positions. We are tying to get her to improve in the scoring area but she s playing well enough defensively that she can help us just because of that. Guards Lunden Roberts and Hanna Qedan are both expected to see significant playing time this season after redshirting a year ago. Roberts averaged 12.6 minutes and 3.2 points per game as a true freshman at Western Illinois before transferring to ASU prior to the 2010-11 season. Roberts will be a sophomore this season, while Qedan will be a freshman after sitting out last steals and 0.8 blocks per game as a senior at Millington (Tenn.) Central High School and is expected to see significant playing time this year. Olivia has a very good future here and can help this team this year, said Boyer. She s a very good rebounder with a very good knack for the ball. As she continues to grow and understand what we re trying to do defensively, she s capable of being a very good defender too. Right now, she s really athletic and rebounding is where her niche will be. Junior Ashley Olvera is also expected to see immediate playing time after transferring to Arkansas State from Pensacola State College. Last year at PSC, Olvera earned second-team All-Panhandle Conference honors after helping lead the Pirates to a 35-1 record and third-place finish in the NJCAA Tournament. During her sophomore season, Olvera averaged 4.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game. With Ashley you get a scoring point guard, or she can play off guard, said Boyer. She has very, very good speed with the ball, has exceptional ball handling skills and really sees the floor well. I would guess that as this season goes along our success is going to depend a lot on Ashley. She has an opportunity to take this team to another level. Four true freshmen will join the Red Wolves for the 2011-12 season. Guard Tiarra Pritchett has been on campus for a year becoming academically eligible and averaged eight points, four rebounds, seven assists and four steals as a senior at Bob Jones High School in Madison, Al. We need to have big things out of Tiarra this and certainly the way she shot the ball; you saw season due to injury. Qedan averaged 19 year at the point spot, said Boyer. She is very last year when we went on our win streak, she s a game-changing player because of the way she shoots it. This year I m even more pleased with her overall game. She has a better understanding defensively and her decision-making has improved. She s putting the ball on the floor better. She s really becoming a complete all-around player. Sophomore Jane Morrill made an immediate impact during her freshman season, playing in all 32 games and averaging 6.1 points and 3.0 rebounds. Expected to be ASU s main threat in the paint, she is also a threat from behind the three-point line and shot a team-best.433 from outside the arc a year ago. She scored a careerhigh points, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots as a senior at Farmington (Ark.) High School two years ago. With Lunden, what you see is what you get, said Boyer. She s just a shooter and she can really do that well. She s a very good shooter deep range. She really improved during the season last year while sitting out. I thought she took advantage of the off-season and came back in very good physical condition. She s quicker now and maybe more explosive than what she was when she got here. With Hanna, really you get the total player, Boyer added. She s got good size, she can shoot the three and can score with either hand. quick and very fast with the basketball. She has that unique ability to be as fast and quick as any point guard in this league but you rarely see her get out of control. She really stays within herself and that s a great quality for a point guard to have. A trio of post players will join Pritchett for their first season at Arkansas State. Forward Jasmine Hunt averaged 12.6 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and two steals during her four-year career at St. Pius X high school in Houston, Texas. Hunt led St. Pius X to a 30-3 record her senior year and it s first district title since 1985. Jasmine is maybe the best physically-gifted of any post player we have brought into this pro- 19 points, including the game-winning She s a very gifted player. With her it s like a gram, said Boyer. When you re talking three-pointer with less than a second remaining to give ASU a 62-61 victory at FIU Jan. 5. Jane certainly came on the scene in a big way last year as a freshman, and we re going to lean on her very heavily this year, said Boyer. Last year she played 15-17 minutes a game, and this year she s going to play 15-17 minutes during freshman year and it s like starting from scratch with the understanding of what we re trying to do, but talent-wise, she brings a lot to the table. Guard/Forward Olivia Maddox also redshirted last year after suffering an injury and will have four years of eligibility remaining. Maddox Averaged 6.7 points, 2.0 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 2.2 strength, running ability and jumping ability, she s very gifted. It s just going to be a matter of time before the skill level catches up with those physical abilities, and when they do she s going to be a very big factor for us. Forward Laura Reel is expected to bring a physical presence under the basket during her fresh- 2011-12 A-State Women s Basketball 6
man season. She averaged 12.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.0 blocks at Wagoner (Okla.) High School and shot 51 percent from the field as a senior. I m excited about Laura s future, said Boyer. She is a post player that we have not had here in a long time. She is a real physical presence in the paint from a defensive and a rebounding standpoint. She s very, very physical and really rebounds the basketball well. Freshman forward Kieanna Wharton averaged seven points and five rebounds, while shooting 47 percent from the floor as a senior at Pike High School in Indianapolis. 76-68 to Toledo in the finals of last year s WNIT. After a Dec. 17 road trip to Stephen F. Austin, A- State will host WNIT participant Missouri State Dec. 20 before the Red Wolves tip off Sun Belt Conference play at home against Florida Atlantic Dec. 29. Following a New Year s Eve date at Louisiana- Monroe, A-State will return home for four consecutive games. WNIT participant Denver will visit Jonesboro Jan. 4, with North Texas following Jan. 7. Arkansas State will then host backto-back games against teams that played in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, with UT-Martin on the schedule for Jan. 10 and UALR set for Kieanna is probably the most versatile of all of Jan. 14. Sun Belt Conference opponents our new post players, said Boyer. She really has a good face-up jump shot. I think in time her future is going to be more of a face-up post player, more of a forward. She has a very good touch and that s going to be her strength as we go along. Junior Sandricka Bowen transferred to Arkansas State from Northwest Mississippi Community College, but will redshirt during the 2011-12 season Louisiana-Lafayette (Jan. 21), Louisiana-Monroe (Feb. 1), Troy (Feb. 15) and FIU (Feb. 18) will also visit Jonesboro during the latter half of the season. Arkansas State will close out the regular season with a pair of road games, traveling to Western Kentucky Feb. 22 and UALR Feb. 25, before heading to Hot Springs March 3-6 for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. after suffering a knee injury during presea- son practice. To reach post-season play, Boyer and the Red Wolves will face a schedule that is challenging both in and out of Sun Belt Conference play. Fifteen home games, including seven teams that advanced to post-season play a year ago, highlight the 2011-12 ASU Red Wolves women s basketball schedule. Three of the teams that reached the post season last year saw action in the NCAA Tournament, while two of the four WNIT participants that will visit the ASU Convocation Center advanced to the championship game of that tournament. The regular season will tip off Nov. 13 in Charlotte when ASU takes on the 49ers, who reached the WNIT semifinals a year ago before losing to eventual champion Toledo. The home opener is set for Nov. 16 against NCAA participant Louisiana Tech, followed by a Nov. 20 home matchup against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. A Nov. 23 trip to Tulsa will be the first of two games in a home-and-home series with the Golden Hurricane, with Tulsa scheduled to visit Jonesboro Dec. 10. The Red Wolves will return home Nov. 27 for a date with WNIT Champion Toledo before hitting the road for three straight contests. ASU will travel to Cape Girardeau, Mo. for a regional matchup with SEMO Nov. 29 before heading to Tempe, Ariz. Dec. 2-3 for a pair of games in the Arizona State Classic. Along with host Arizona State, WNIT participant Illinois State and Eastern Washington will also play in the ASU Classic. The Dec. 10 home game against Tulsa will be followed by a home date against USC, which fell 2011-12 A-State Women s Basketball 7
