ACUCOACHES

veteran head coach with 20 years experience at all three major collegiate levels (NCAA Divisions I, II and III), Julie Goodenough’s Wildcats’ first year as a NCAA Division I member of the Southland Conference proved to be an uplifting experience for all involved.

The team won 60 percent of its games and among the 18 victories were triumphs over regional rivals Texas Tech and UT-Arlington, plus eight conference wins that placed ACU seventh out of 14 teams. The Wildcats were victorious in four of their last five league games – a stretch that began with an exciting comeback win at Incarnate Word televised on ESPN3.

At season’s end, freshman Suzzy Dimba and senior Renata Marquez made the Southland Conference’s list of honorable mentions. Dimba also was the only league freshman voted onto the all-defensive team.

In an extraordinary season that included 11 double-doubles, Dimba ended the year ranked sixth in the Southland Conference in rebounding (9.1 per game), fifth in blocked shots (1.4) and tied for 13th in steals (1.5). She also averaged 6.7 defensive boards per game and finished 25th in scoring with 11.3 points per game.

Dimba scored 338 points through 25 starts (11.3 ppg) and her 272 total rebounds were the most recorded by a Wildcat in a single season since Jody Meyer pulled down 303 in 2009-10.

A student-athlete who was barely recruited out of Conroe (Texas) High School, Marquez flourished under Goodenough’s coaching style as she ranked among the Southland Conference’s top-20 leaders in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals. Marquez made second team all-conference during Goodenough’s first year at ACU and finished her decorated career with 1,285 career points, 598 rebounds and 298 assists.

Marquez later made the Southland’s all-academic team and was one of nine Wildcats (out of 12) to make the Southland Conference’s Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the Spring 2014 semester.

A native of Haskell, Texas, Goodenough became

the program’s sixth head coach on March 27, 2012, and transformed a program hindered by consecutive losing seasons into conference champions during her first season on the bench. With many of the same players coming back from a 12-14 campaign in 2011-12, Goodenough maximized her roster’s talents throughout the season as the Wildcats went on to share the Lone Star Conference regular-season title with Midwestern State at 16-4.

ACU and Goodenough were picked to finish seventh in the LSC that season, but they instead posted an overall mark of 21-7, which served as the program’s first 20 win season since 2004-05. The Wildcats also earned their 12th appearance in the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament and first since 2008-09.

The 21 wins represented the program’s highest win total since the 1998-99 team won 24 games, and on Jan. 15, 2013, vs. Incarnate Word, Goodenough won her 300th game as a collegiate head coach after the Wildcats prevailed over the Cardinals, 76-65.

Goodenough’s efforts earned her co-Coach of the Year honors from the LSC, making her the sixth Wildcat coach in ACU’s Lone Star era – Burl McCoy (1982-83, 1984-85 and 1985-86), Suzanne Fox (1995-96), Wayne Williams (1997-98), and Shawna Lavender (2007-08) – to earn this prestigious honor.

Several of Goodenough’s players made all-conference with junior guard Mackenzie Lankford being tabbed to the league’s first team for the third straight year. Marquez was voted second team and senior center Kelsey Smith was named honorable mention. Point guard Whitney West was voted the league’s Freshman of the Year.

As a team, Goodenough’s 2012-13 Wildcats ranked 12th nationally in scoring offense (74.8 ppg) as they averaged the seventh-most 3-point field goals per game with 8.4. ACU also possessed one of the best defenses in Division II, ranking 16th in scoring margin (12.7) and 23rd in field goal percentage defense (.353). Opponents struggled year-round from beyond the arc, as the Wildcats boasted the third

THE GOODENOUGH FILE

ACUCOACHESbest 3-point field goal defense (.249).

This past year’s team regularly eclipsed the school’s single-game three-point records. Overall, ACU connected on 291 of 873 long-range attempts (.333) and on Feb. 18 of 2014 the Wildcats hit a record 18 treys on 50 attempts. Marquez sank eight 3-pointers to tie a single-game record shared with two others, but set a new standard for most attempts with 17.

Goodenough’s two-year record at ACU is 39-19 (.672). She needs six more victories to pass the program’s first coach, Dr. Joyce Curtis, for fifth place on the school’s all-time win list.

A graduate of The University of Texas-Arlington, Goodenough was the head coach at Hardin-Simmons University from 1993-2002 before going to Oklahoma State University for three seasons. She was then the head coach at NCAA Division I Charleston Southern University from 2006-12.

In her 20 seasons as a head coach, Goodenough is 328-239 (.578) with 188 of those wins coming in her nine seasons at HSU. She was 23-61 in a three-year stay at Oklahoma State and 78-105 in six seasons at Charleston Southern. However, during her time as the Buccaneers’ head coach, she registered two of only four winning seasons in the program’s history, which dates back to the 1976-77 season.

In fact, before Goodenough took over the CSU program, the Buccaneers had only two winning seasons from 1976-2006, and had endured two winless seasons at the NCAA level. She was 48-45 in her last three seasons at CSU and took the Buccaneers to play at Minnesota in late March in the Women’s Basketball Invitation (WBI) Tournament.

Also, she led the Buccaneers to the semifinals of the Big

South Conference Tournament in 2011-12, only the second time the Bucs have gone that far in the conference tournament.

At Oklahoma State, Goodenough recruited and coached the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year (Nina Stone, currently a college coach, after a brief stint playing professionally in Europe), and posted the 19th best recruiting class in the country in her first full season. Five of the top 10 largest home crowds in school history occurred during Goodenough’s tenure, including the largest crowd to ever watch a home women’s basketball contest.

Goodenough was inducted into the HSU Sports Hall of Fame in 2007 after guiding the Cowgirls to a 188-54 record in her nine seasons there, leaving as the winningest coach in school history. Her last four teams advanced to at least the NCAA Division III Sweet 16 and also coached her team to the NAIA national tournament in her first two seasons.

She captured seven Trans-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association or American Southwest Conference titles. She also recruited quality student-athletes as her last seven teams were named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Honor Roll as one of the top 25 teams in grade point average in the nation.

She coached three all-America selections and 34 all-conference selections and 46 academic all-conference selections. Her teams won the first four ASC Conference Tournaments in league history. She also served as an assistant athletic director and senior women’s administrator at HSU.

Goodenough and her husband, Rob, have two daughters, Bailey and Macy. Bailey graduated from Wylie High School in 2014 and is a freshman at ACU. n

She also served as a camp counselor at Hardin-Simmons (1999-2002) and Oklahoma State (2003-04), and camp director at Bronte High School in 2000 and Graham High School in 2003.

Hassell played four years at Hardin-Simmons and was a two-time Kodak first team All-American, Verizon Academic All-American and American Southwest Conference Female Athlete of the Year. She also was named conference Players of the Year and region Player of the Year in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Hassell received the 2003 NCAA Texas Woman of the Year honors and selected to the Division III Hoops All-Decade Team in 2007.

In recognition of her high school (Colorado City, Texas) collegiate accomplishments, Hassell was inducted in the Big Country Athletic Hall of Fame in May 2014 and the Hardin-Simmons Athletics Hall of Fame in July 2013.

In 2003, Hassell graduated from Hardin-Simmons with a bachelor degree in behavioral science. She earned her master’s degree in exercise science at Oklahoma State in 2005.

The Southland Conference


n an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence.

The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans.

In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S.

All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), MLB star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Earl Young (both Abilene Christian), and Ebola-fighting physician Kent Brantly, M.D., Time magazine 2014 Person of the Year (Abilene Christian).

Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin State), television per-sonality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Danieal Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfer Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), CBS Sports producer Lance Barrow (Abilene Christian), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater

(Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin State).

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards.

The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State advanced to the NCAA national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 104 Division I playoff games in 31 years, winning 51 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league

The Southland Conference

I

#SOUTHLANDSTRONG


from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since.

During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship.

McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin State played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwest-ern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned six trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 168 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin State quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level.

The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2013 season. Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 11 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F. Austin State) Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar) and Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas).

The Southland has seen former Nicholls State players win Super Bowl rings in two of the last three seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls-ex Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of

success during the Southland’s 50 years. The league has sent four teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The league also saw three of its current teams, including newcomer Oral Roberts, reach the postseason in 2012.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led successful teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin State sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins.

In each of the last four seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2012, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 13 times, including each of the last seven years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland.

In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 has had more players win this award.

The Southland also fares well each year in the MLB Draft, but for the first time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin State shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the first round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick. The Southland has had eight first-round picks in its history.

In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationally ranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin State at No. 3 Texas. In 20 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 15 wins.

The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national


champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. Lamar alum Shawn Stefani had a pair of top seven finishes through the midway point of the 2013 PGA tour.

The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur in 2007.

In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament five times in the last seven years.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports.

In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin State midfielder Kylie Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-Amer-ica honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soc-cer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered first-team Academic All-America honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Ladyjacks have gone 72-12-8 (.826) in conference play during the last 10 seasons.

In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the first time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar leads all league teams with four team championships during that span.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin State athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual

All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 979 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2012 spring semester, and total of 1,545 student-athletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters during the 2012-13 academic year.

While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes.

The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

ee De León was hired as the eighth director of athletics in ACU history on Nov. 13, 2014, taking over the Wildcats’ program after Jared Mosley resigned after a 10-year run to become the president and CEO of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.

“After an extensive national search, I believe we’ve found a leader whose commitment to faith influences all aspects of his life and who he is,” ACU president Dr. Phil Schubert said of De León, who will begin his duties Dec. 1. “Lee also has broad experience in intercollegiate athletics and has been a part of several highly successful NCAA Division I programs. I believe that experience will give him great perspective as we continue to navigate our transition to Division I.

De León becomes the third person to lead Wildcat athletics who didn’t attend Abilene Christian, joining the first director of athletics, A.B. “Bugs” Morris, who served from 1927-69; and Shanon Hays, who served from 2002-03. But the native of Houston is excited to be back in Texas and specifically at ACU.

“I feel so blessed and honored to serve as the director of athletics here,” De León said. “As soon as I set foot on campus, I knew it was a special place. As a Christian university in my home state that recently joined the NCAA Division I ranks, it’s the perfect fit – spiritually, academically and athletically – for my family and me.”

Prior to this new role at ACU, De León was the associate director of athletics for development and executive director of the Lobo Club at the University of New Mexico. While there he was in charge of UNM’s development office for athletics – the Lobo Club – which raises funds for all Lobo teams, programs and student-athletes.

Last year, the club enrolled 4,500 members, the largest total in its 82-year history. De León also managed all facets of a $75 million capital campaign for athletics. In 2013, he led the Lobo Club to its second-highest giving total ever at UNM.

Prior to joining the staff at New Mexico, De León served three years at the University of Arizona, first as the director of annual giving before being promoted to assistant athletics director for major gifts and annual giving. He was involved in all facets of its Wildcat Club, including major gifts and annual fund, while helping the organization enroll a then-record 9,500 members in 2011.

Before his stop in Tucson, Ariz., Lee spent three years at the University of Houston as the assistant director of marketing and later, director of marketing. He led marketing and promotions work for ticketed sports, and managed marketing for football and men’s basketball.

De León also worked at Louisiana State University in 2005 as a marketing assistant for women’s soccer.

After graduating from Notre Dame in 2004, De León earned his master’s degree in sports management from Texas A&M University in 2005. He met his wife, Lacey, at Texas A&M and they have been married seven years and have two sons: Landon (3) and Luke (born Nov. 4, 2014). n

Former ACU director of athletics Wally Bullington rejoined the Wildcats in September 2001 as director of athletics emeritus, and then became the director of athletics in March 2002 when Stan Lambert announced his resignation.

A 1993 inductee to the ACU Sports Hall of Fame, he serves the athletics program in a fundraising role.

Bullington, elected to the Lone Star Conference Hall of Honor in 1999, served ACU for 39 years as a player, assistant football coach, head football coach and athletics director before he retired in 1988.

After graduating from Athens, Ala., High School in 1949, Bullington headed west to play college football. He was a four-year letterman at Abilene Christian, helping to lead the Wildcats to the only undefeated, untied season (11-0 in 1950) in school history. He was named all-Texas Conference in 1950, 1951 and 1952, and received first team all-America honors at center in 1952.

While Bullington was an assistant coach at Abilene High School, the Eagles won three state championships in football. When he became head coach, he led his team to a 40-19-1 record over six seasons (1960-65).

And in nine years as the head football coach at Abilene Christian (1968-76), his teams had a 62-32-2 record.

Four of his nine Wildcat teams were nationally ranked, he coached ACU to its first NAIA Division I national championship, and coached six first team all-America players, including eventual all-pro running back Wilbert Montgomery.

In 1969, Bullington became the ACU’s athletics director and presided over the Wildcats’ transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II. During his tenure, ACU won 17 national titles, including another football championship in 1977, and 41 Lone Star Conference titles.

Bullington has served as program coordinator for Herald of Truth, an elder for Highland Church of Christ in Abilene and a member of the board for the Abilene Independent School District.

Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center – ACU’s newest building is the 113,000-square-foot, $21 million Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center, which opened in September 2011. A renovation and expansion of the previous Gibson Health and Physical Education Center, the Money Center is adjacent to Moody Coliseum and is the home of the Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition, the intramurals program, and a fitness center to meet the needs of ACU’s students, faculty and staff. It includes four gymnasiums, a six-lane, Olympic-style lap pool and a leisure pool, bouldering wall, racquetball courts, exercise studios, an eighth-mile track, a Human Performance Lab, classrooms, and counseling and medical clinics.

Powell Fitness Center – Wildcat student-athletes are fortunate to train in the state-of-the-art Powell Fitness Center, which opened in 1993 and was renovated in the spring and summer of 2007, when the size of the facility doubled to more than 8,000 square feet. Included in the center are free weights, cable weights, hammer strength equipment, cardio exercise machines, and other equipment.

Teague Special Events Center – The Teague Special Events Center was dedicated in February 1999 and houses the football offices, locker room, training room facilities, and a large room with three indoor tennis courts. The football locker room, refurbished before the 2006 season with new flooring and lockers, also is in the Teague Center. The facility can seat up to 1,000 people for banquets, and has been the host to luncheons featuring former UCLA head basketball coach John Wooden and the late former PGA legend Byron Nelson.

Moody Coliseum – Moody Coliseum is in its 45th year of hosting basketball at ACU, with the first men’s game there on Feb. 27, 1968. The women’s team began playing in Moody in 1971. The coliseum seats 4,000 for basketball and volleyball.

Shotwell Stadium – The Wildcats began playing football at Shotwell Stadium in 1960, and the 2012 season will be their 53rd season in the facility, which is owned and operated by the Abilene Independent School District. The stadium has undergone some major renovation in the last several years, including the addition before the 2012 season of a SafePlay turf field. In July 2007, a new scoreboard with digital video capabilities was added to the north end of the stadium. New dressing facilities on the south end and new restrooms on the north end were added to the stadium prior to the 2005 season. The first nationally televised game in Shotwell was Aug. 27, 2009, when CBS College Sports broadcast a showdown the Wildcats hosted with Northwest Missouri State in each team’s season opener.

Crutcher Scott Field – When Abilene Christian made the decision to bring baseball back to campus in February 1990, the administration made a commitment to construct a first-class playing facility. What ACU built is one of the finest facilities in college baseball. The 4,000-seat, lighted Crutcher Scott Field is home to the Wildcats. Bleachers and lights were added before the 1992 season, and prior to the 1995 season the seating capacity was increased to 4,000, and the press box was added. The home clubhouse was added before the 1997 season. The dimensions of the field are 335 feet down the lines, 380 feet to the power alleys and 400 to center field.

Wells Field – Wells Field will serve as the Wildcats’ softball home for the 19th season in 2015. It was officially dedicated March 29, 1997, as A.E. “Poly” and Zieta Wells Field.

The facility features 10 courts, which have played host to numerous Lone Star Conference, NCAA Division II regional and high school tournaments. In August 2001, the university announced that a new pavilion would be named for the most successful tennis coach in school history and his wife. Construction on the Judi and Cecil Eager Tennis Pavilion began in Fall 2001 and was completed in time for the Fall 2002 season. Eager served as the ACU men’s and women’s tennis coach for 12 years (1977-83 and 1986-90). The pavilion has covered seating (approximately 175 seats, including some chairback seating) and is located west of the four championship courts and east of the Teague Special Events Center.

Elmer Gray Stadium – Elmer Gray Stadium has been a large part of track and field history in the United States. It’s where world-record-holders

Bobby Morrow, Earl Young, James Segrest, Bill Woodhouse and Billy Olson practiced and competed as members of legendary ACU track and field squads. It’s where coaches Oliver Jackson, Bill McClure, Don W. Hood and Wes Kittley performed their magic day in and day out. And it’s where celebrated U.S. athletes such as Wilma Rudolph, Michael Johnson and Antonio Pettigrew competed. Future NFL standout Michael Carter set the stadium record in the shot put as a high school standout at Dallas Carter and future NFL Hall of Famer Darrell Green ran the 100 meters at 10.08 in 1983. n

In 1972 – ACU’s last year in the league – the Southland was composed of ACU, Arkansas State, Lamar, Louisiana Tech University, Texas-Arlington, Trinity, and the University of Southwestern Louisiana.

ACU in the SLC record book

espite not being a member of the Southland Conference for almost four decades, Wildcats still appear in the league’s football, men’s basketball, cross country, and track and field record books.

Prior to the 2011 season, former ACU quarterback Jim Lindsey still ranked fifth in Southland history with 8,521 career passing yards and ninth in total offense with 8,385 yards.

THISISACU

he remarkable success of ACU Wildcat student-athletes through the years is a tribute to the student-athletes, the coaches and the tradition of winning permeating the program. ACU recruits its student-athletes for their academic and spiritual qualities, as well as their abilities in athletics.

ACU’s intercollegiate athletics program began in 1919 when the football and men’s basketball teams were started. Former director of athletics A.B. Morris served as the head football and head men’s basketball coach during his long tenure at ACU. Former football coach A.M. “Tonto” Coleman went on to serve as the commissioner of the famed Southeastern Conference, and former track and field mentor Oliver Jackson coached three-time Olympic gold medalist Bobby Morrow – still called by some the greatest sprinter who ever lived.

Wildcat student-athletes have been blessed by a wealth of some of the top coaches in collegiate athletics, including Bill McClure (track and field), Wally Bullington (football), Dee Nutt (men’s basketball), Burl McCoy (women’s basketball), Wes Kittley (track and field), Don W. Hood (track and field), Don D. Hood (track and field), Brek Horn

(volleyball), Vince Jarrett (men’s golf), Jon Murray (cross country and track and field), and Chris Thomsen (football). Current coaches such as Julie Goodenough (women’s basketball) and Hutton Jones (men’s and women’s tennis) are at the top of their profession.

No intercollegiate athletics program in the state of Texas – at any level – can claim as many national championships as ACU, which has won 64 team titles since 1952. Of them, 57 have come at the NCAA Division II level, the fifth-most NCAA national championships in history behind only UCLA, Stanford, USC and swimming powerhouse Kenyon College.

ACU’s 54 national titles in track and field are the most in one sport by any university in the country. The Wildcats won 160 Lone Star Conference championships from 1973-2013 and have enjoyed some remarkable championship winning streaks. The men’s track and field team won 18 straight LSC championships (27 overall), and the women’s track and field team won each of the first 20 LSC titles before its streak ended in 2004. The men’s cross country team saw its LSC championship streak ended in November 2011 at 20 straight.

ACU student-athletes also have been awarded some of their sports highest individual honors, the most recent in 2008 when running back Bernard

Wes Kittley (’81) and the Wildcat track and field program collected plenty of hardware during the 1990s. Before he left to become the head coach at Texas Tech University in 1997, Kittley’s teams won 29 NCAA Division II track and field championships, the second most in NCAA history.

T



Scott won the Harlon Hill Trophy as the top player in NCAA Division II football. That same year, offensive center Sam Collins won the Gene Upshaw Award as the top lineman in NCAA Division II.

In 2007, cross country standout Nicodemus Naimadu became the first athlete in NCAA history – male or female, any level – to win four consecutive individual national championships. In 2009, decathlete Camille Vandendriessche became the first athlete in NCAA history to win three straight individual national championships in the decathlon. One year later, Linda Brivule became the first female in NCAA Division II history to win the individual national championship in the javelin.

ACU’s internationally recognized track and field program has produced world-record holders, more than 20 Olympians, several hundred all-America performers and two Olympic gold medalists. In addition, the program was named the Texas Sports Dynasty of the Century by Texas Monthly magazine in November 1999.

Wildcat teams won 160 Lone Star Conference titles from 1973-2013, more than twice its closest competitor. Also, ACU has produced 32 NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship honorees since 1966.

The Wildcats also are heavily represented in Halls of Fame across the country, the most recent in 2014 when former track and field standout and 1960 Olympic gold medalist Earl Young was inducted into the Texas Track and Field Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame.

Bobby Morrow is in four different halls of fame: Drake Relays, U.S. Olympic, U.S. Track and Field and Texas Sports. Oliver Jackson is a member of the Texas Sports and U.S. Track Coaches halls of fame, and more than 50 other former Wildcats are recognized by other such organizations around the nation.

Abilene Christian was the only university in NCAA Division II to have been ranked in the top 15 in each of the first 16 Learfield Directors’ Cup final standings, including second in 1995-96, 1996-97, 1998-99, and 2005-06. The Wildcats finished in the top four in four other seasons. n

Abilene, Texas

bilene is a dynamic city of about 117,000 people who value higher education and the difference it makes in the life of the community. Three private universities call it home (ACU, Hardin-Simmons and McMurry), as well as Cisco College, Texas State Technical College, professional schools from Texas Tech (nursing, pharmacy and engineering), and the Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing.

Because of its central location in our region, Abilene is the destination city for people from many small towns across what we call the “Big Country” for shopping, nice dining, healthcare, entertainment and cultural events. Abilene Regional Airport serves passengers on connecting flights on American Eagle via Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, as well as private charters. Interstate 20 and state highways 83, 84, 277 and 36 each intersect Abilene.

Abilene enjoys a bustling convention and special event environment, and is the annual site of numerous state and national rodeo and cutting horse events, plus the West Texas Fair and Rodeo. More than 40 hotels and motels – including Residence Inn by Marriott, Hampton Inn and Suites (2), Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites (3), Comfort Suites, Courtyard by Mariott, Hilton Garden Inn, LaQuinta Inn and Suites (2), Wingate by Wyndham, MCM Eleganté Suites, and Fairfield Inn by Marriott – offer more than 3,100 rooms each night.

Most major chains of restaurants are nearby, including Olive Garden, Abuelo’s Mexican Food Embassy, Chili’s (2), Cracker Barrel, Cotton Patch

Cafe, Logan’s Roadhouse, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Rosa’s Cafe and Tortilla Factory (2), and Texas Roadhouse; along with most major fast food restaurants and numerous locally and regionally acclaimed eateries featuring barbeque, steaks, Mexican and Chinese menus.

Our Mission:TO HONOR CHRIST THROUGH EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS

#ACUE4C

I tell my coaching friends – and anyone who will listen – that I have the best job in America: coaching Division I women’s basketball at Abilene Christian University.

We provide a unique Division I athletics experience for our student-athletes in an intentionally Christian environment. Our players are not only given the opportunity to excel academically and athletically, but even more importantly, socially and spiritually, in a family-type atmosphere. We tell recruits that if they want to go somewhere and be anonymous, don’t come here! At ACU, our student-athletes are known, loved, prayed for, and mentored by awesome faculty and staff.

With our recruiting efforts, we are evaluating players from around the nation but our main focus is in Texas. In my opinion, some of the nation’s best high school coaches are in Texas and we want to coach their players. Our desire is to keep the best talent from Texas, in Texas at ACU.

We are obviously recruiting players who have the ability and talent to help us win at the Division I level, but our priority in recruiting is to find players who are mentally tough, extreme competitors, and who will be incredible ambassadors for ACU.

Every aspect of campus life at Abilene Christian University operates in a first-class, Division I manner, so it made sense for the athletics program to compete at the highest level as well. The Southland Conference is an excellent league; we are proud to be members and ready to begin new rivalries.

Our program seeks the identity of “Godly Women Seeking Excellence.”
