ten list of all time rebounders at No. 9.
Davie is also in fifth place on the ASU alltime scoring list with 1,491 career points,
needing just 48 more to take over fourth

seven games this season, logging 10

BIG ROAD WINS: With its 67-54
win at Missouri State Nov. 20, ASU
became just the 33rd visiting team to win
on the Lady Bears' home court since the
1989-90 season. Missouri State holds a
237-33 record on its home court during
the past 18 seasons...ASU’s 65-58 overtime victory at Louisiana-Lafayette Dec.
16 was only the seventh loss for the
Ragin’ Cajuns at Earl K. Long Gym. The
Lady Indians defeated the Ragin’ Cajuns
at Lafayette last season as well.
Additionally, under head coach J. Kelley
Hall, the Ragin’ Cajuns are 55-8 when
leading at the half, and three of those losses have come at the hands of Arkansas
State.
PUTTING UP POINTS: The 90
points posted by the Lady Indians Dec. 2
against San Jose State is the highest offensive output of the season.
BEST IN THE WEST: The Lady
Indians were chosen by the Sun Belt
coaches as No. 1 team in the Sun Belt’s
West Division for the upcoming season.
ASU received a league-high 10 first place
votes to top the poll.
LAST TIME OUT: LAFAYETTE,
La., (12-16-2006) - Arkansas State senior
guard Rudy Sims recorded the first tripledouble in the history of the ASU women's
basketball program, sparking the Lady
Indians to a 65-58 overtime victory over
the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (84, 1-1) Saturday night at Earl K. Long
Gym. The game was the Sun Belt
Conference opener for ASU, and boosted
the Lady Indians to 7-4 overall on the season.
Sims finished the night with 14 points,
11 rebounds and 10 assists, overshadowing the fifth double-double of the season
by senior center Adrianne Davie, who fin-
ished the game with 26 points and 15
rebounds. Sims' effort was even more
remarkable considering she started the
game 0-for-8 from the floor.
“I have been coaching a lot of years
either as an assistant or as a head coach,
and that was my first triple-double to see
in person,” said ASU head coach Brian
Boyer. “It is a huge accomplishment,
especially because of the way it happened.
She was struggling from the field, but she
didn't quit. She is such a great example for
young players. When her shot wasn't
falling, she found another way. She got
double figure rebounds and double figure
assists, and then all of a sudden the shots
start falling.”
The Lady Indians rallied from a fivepoint deficit in the final five minutes of
regulation to send the game into overtime.
Davie hit a short jumper with 1:51 to play
in regulation to pull the Lady Indians
within a point a 50-49, and sophomore
guard Caroline Starr tied the game at 5050 with a free throw at the one-minute
mark. Arkansas State had an opportunity
to win the game in regulation, but Sims'
driving shot in the lane with six seconds
remaining was short of the mark.
Arkansas State dominated the overtime period, scoring the first nine point to
take a 59-50 lead. Sims' steal, layup and
free throw with 3:34 to play ignited the
ASU run, and was followed by six straight
points from Davie, whose free throw with
1:02 remaining gave ASU its biggest lead
of the night at nine points.
Louisiana-Lafayette's Sonora Edwards
trimmed the Lady Indian lead to 59-52
with a jumper at the 52-second mark, but
Starr responded with a pair of free throws
five seconds later to boost the lead back to
nine points and put the game away.
In the first half, the Lady Indians could
not find a rhythm and trailed 27-23 at the
break. Arkansas State turned the ball over
15 times in the opening frame, but stayed
in striking distance thanks to 13 first-half
points from Davie. The Lady Indians suffered a season-high 28 turnovers in the
game, but turned the ball over just once in
the overtime period.
“I think the key to this whole game
was that we got to halftime with it still
within reach,” said Boyer. “We almost felt
like that was a victory within itself
because of our turnovers and the offensive
rebounds they were getting.”
“By the time we got to the last couple
of minutes, and then in overtime, both
teams were really exhausted,” added
Boyer. “It was just a matter of who was
going to hit the shots, and fortunately for
us, they were trying to score from the outside, and when you get tired, you just don't
have the legs. Fortunately we were able to
get it inside and get to the free throw line,
and hit some key shots when we had to.”
In addition to the double-digit efforts
from Sims and Davie, the Lady Indians
also got five points and eight rebounds
from Lyndsay Schlup, nine points from
Ali Carter and six from Starr. Ebonie
Jefferson and Jazmine Taylor added two
points each, and Brittney Hiles finished
the night with a single point. Yolanda
Jones led ULL with 22 points, and Onna
Charles added 19.
SEASON OUTLOOK:
Three
starters return from last year’s team which
finished 15-15 and reached the semifinals
of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament senior center Adrianne Davie, senior
guard Rudy Sims, and junior forward
Kelsey Lock. Guard Ali Carter, who sat
out last season after suffering a knee
injury, also returns for her senior season.
Carter earned All-Conference honors during the 2004-05 season, while Sims is a
two-time All-Sun Belt player and Davie is
a three-time all-conference player who is
expected to push for the league’s Player of
the Year honors.
Among the nine letterwinners returning from last year’s team, Davie highlights
the field, bringing impressive credentials
to the court for the 2006-07 season. In
addition to her three-time All-Sun Belt
honors, Davie became the 14th player in
ASU history to reach the 1,000 career
points mark. The 6-3 center averaged
15.4 points and 9.8 rebounds per game last
season.
Sims also joined a 1,000 point club
last year, and goes into the upcoming season with 389 assists to rank third all-time
in ASU history. She averaged 14.0 points
per game last season while dishing out
153 assists.
Before suffering the knee injury that
forced her to sit out last year, Carter averaged 13.9 points per game during the
2004-05 season and shot 87 percent from
the free throw line.
Like Carter, Lock hopes to bounce
back from a knee injury as well. The 6-0
guard/forward played in 23 games before
being sidelined with the injury last season,
averaging 8.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per
outing.
Senior forward Tabitha Christian is
expected to play a key role as well, and
will serve as a team captain along with fellow seniors Davie, Carter and Sims.
Junior Rachel Brown, and sophomores
Brittney Hiles, Caroline Starr, Shavondra
Williams, and Ashley Anderson all return
with experience, and Boyer welcomes
five true freshmen to the Lady Indian
squad.
Jazmine Taylor, Melia Pence, Ebonie
Jefferson, Veronica Smith and Lyndsay
Schlup make up the class of talented newcomers.
The Lady Indians open the regular
season Nov. 10 on the road against UNCCharlotte, then return home Nov. 13 for a
battle with Southeastern Conference
power Alabama. Purdue, ranked No. 13 in
the USA Today/ESPN preseason poll also
visits the Convocation Center in
November, while Oklahoma State visits
Jonesboro in early December.
Sun Belt play begins Dec. 16 when
ASU travels to Louisiana-Lafayette, and
ends at the Cajundome as well with the
Sun Belt Conference Tournament, scheduled for March 3-6.
MORE ON BOYER: Brian Boyer is
entering his eighth season as head coach
of the Arkansas State women's basketball
team. During his time at the helm of the
Lady Indians, he has posted a 117-100
overall record, which is the second most
wins in ASU women's basketball history.
He has led the Tribe to three WNIT
appearances in his first seven seasons
including appearances in two out of the
last three seasons. Last season, the Lady
Indians posted a 15-15 overall record as
the Tribe advanced to the semifinals of the
Sun Belt Conference Tournament. The
Tribe posted the .500 record against a
schedule that featured nine NCAA
Tournament teams and three teams in the
WNIT. Center Adrianne Davie earned
First Team All-Conference honors last
season marking the third straight year in
which she has received All-SBC accolades. Also, the Tribe had three different
players join the 1,000 career point club
last season in Davie, junior Rudy Sims
and senior Amber Abraham. In the 200405 season Boyer guided the Lady Indians
to a 21-11 overall record and an 11-3 Sun
Belt record as the Tribe finished in second
place in the Sun Belt East Division.
Boyer picked up his second consecutive Sun Belt Conference Coach of the
Year award following the 2004-05 season,
and joined former ASU head coach Jerry
Ann Winters as the only two women's basketball coaches at ASU to win back-toback coach of the year honors.
Before assuming the head coaching
role at ASU, Boyer was no stranger to the
Arkansas State women's basketball program, coming to Arkansas State with former head coach Jeff Mittie when he was
hired as head coach in 1995. Together, the
two helped the program to a 75-48 record,
including an 18-14 record in the 1998-99
season with an appearance in the Women's
NIT, ASU's first postseason appearance in
five years.
Boyer graduated from Missouri
Western State College in St. Joseph, Mo.,
with a bachelor's degree in education. He
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 an NCAA Division II Tournament
participant five years (1990, 1991, 1992,
1994 and 1995) and won two conference
championships. 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.
Boyer prepped at Scotland County
High School in Memphis, Mo., and graduated from there in 1988. He is married to
the former Rhonda Lane of Marked Tree,
Arkansas. She is a graduate of ASU.

ASU vs. Charlotte
Halton Arena
Nov. 10, 2006
Charlotte NC
CHARLOTTE, NC (11-10-2006) — The Arkansas State Lady Indians’
2006-07 basketball season got off to a rough start Friday night as the Tribe
dropped a 76-65 decision on the road against the Charlotte 49ers.
The Lady Indians committed 25 turnovers in the game, while handing
out just seven assists.
“Their pressure was one of our problems,” said ASU head coach Brian
Boyer. “Charlotte really, really pressured us, and our answer to is was to
bury our heads and go one-on-one too much. Rather than utilizing each other
as a team, we just went one-on-one, and that got us in trouble with the
turnovers.”
Charlotte built a 36-26 lead at the break, then scored the first eight of
the second half to stretch the lead to 44-26 before Rudy Sims stopped the
drought with a short jumper at the 17:21 mark.
Arkansas State managed to cut the 49er lead to single digits when senior Adrianne Davie hit a three pointer with 11:15 remaining to make it 5041, but Charlotte reeled off six straight to stretch the 49er lead to 56-41.
The Lady Indians again made it a single-digit game when senior Rudy
Sims sank a basket at the 4-minute mark to cut the Charlotte lead to 66-57.
Following Sims’ basket, ASU had a chance to cut the lead further, but Davie
could not connect on a layup, and Charlotte answered on the offensive end
with a bucket to extend the lead to 68-57, and the Lady Indians could not
make another push down the stretch.
“We came out really flat in the second half, and were on the brink of getting blown out, but the players hung tough and kept it within reach,” Boyer
said. “We chipped away and actually had a shot just after the four-minute
mark to put some real pressure on them. We tell our players that when you
are on the road against good teams, you have to be flawless, and at that stage
of the game you have to make every shot, get every rebound, and take care
of the ball, and we weren’t quite tough enough to make those plays.”
Sophomore Caroline Starr led ASU with 14 points, followed by Sims
with 12 and freshman Lyndsay Schlup with 10 points, nine rebounds and
three blocks in her Lady Indian debut.
“I was really proud of Lyndsay in her first start,” said Boyer. “There is
no question that she gave us a huge spark early on with her offensive
rebounding. She kept flying to the ball, and that is a real positive to see her
do that.”
Davie added nine points to the Lady Indian totals, Ali Carter and Ebonie
Jefferson added six each, Ashley Anderson finished with five points, and
Veronica Smith closed out the ASU scoring with three points.
Sabrina Gregory led Charlotte with 22 points and eight rebounds.

ASU vs. Alabama
ASU Convocation Center
Nov. 13, 2006
Jonesboro, AR
JONESBORO, Ark. (11/13/06) — Guards Ali Carter and Rudy
Sims rained three-pointers as each poured in 19 points to lead
Arkansas State past Southeastern Conference foe Alabama, 73-56, in
women’s basketball at ASU’s Convocation Center Monday night.
Carter, a senior from Pocahontas, hit five-of-nine, while Sims, a
senior from Memphis, was three-of-four from beyond the arc. As a
team, the Lady Indians hit 47 percent from outside the line (9-of-19)
to pace the Tribe. Adrianne Davie added 14 points and six rebounds
and freshman Lyndsay Schlup added 10 points to round out ASU’s
double-figure scoring.
“I am pleased with our effort tonight,” said Head Coach Brian
Boyer. “We forced them into 15 turnovers in the first half and we only
had five. On the rebounding, it was only a one or two-point difference, and we got so many more shots in the first half to build the lead.
In the second half, it was a matter of just answering and our players
did a good job of that.”
After trading baskets in the early part of the first half, Arkansas
State took a 12-10 lead following a goal by Schlup at the 12:03 mark.
The 6-1 forward from California, Mo., was fouled by Alabama’s
Harriet Barnes and Schlup hit her free throw to put the Lady Indians
up by three. ASU never trailed after that and built the lead by as much
as 25 in the second half.
The Crimson Tide was able to cut the gap to 10 at the 11:49 mark
in the second half when Nathalie Reshard and Talisha Chandler were
able to score off a couple missed ASU shots. However, the Lady
Indians forced two quick turnovers on the other end of the court and
were able to boost the lead back to 19.
“It seemed like Rudy, Ali and Adrianne seemed to have an answer
every time,” continued Boyer. “When it was 14 and they cut it to 10,
we answered. Another time, they cut the lead to 10 and we pushed it
back to 16. A lot of that came from the leadership of that group in
answering those runs.
“Just before the half, the execution by Rudy was picture-perfect,
and Ali delivered on the three and that was a huge lift momentumwise and points-wise. Rudy made very good decisions and shot the
ball well. I thought that was a great, great effort on her part.”
Kate Mastin led all Alabama scorers with 19 points and Reshard
had six boards. Both teams now stand 1-1 overall.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (11-20-2006) — The Arkansas State Lady Indians (2-2) used a smothering defense and double figure nights from Adrianne Davie, Ashley Anderson, and Ali Carter to
COLUMBIA, Mo. (11-17-2006) — Missouri’s Tiffany Brooks and
Carlynn Savant scored 22 points each to offset 26 points by Arkansas
State’s Adrianne Davie, and led the Lady Tigers (3-0) to a 74-53 victory
over the ASU Lady Indians (1-2) Friday night at Mizzou Arena.
ASU led 10-9 before Missouri’s Alyssa Hollis sank a 3-pointer to
ignite a 14-2 run that put the Lady Tigers on top 23-12 with just over eight
minutes to play in the first half.
A bucket from Arkansas State’s Rudy Sims stopped the Lady Tiger
run, and ASU kept pace for the remainder of the half, despite a 12-2
shooting advantage from the free throw line for the Missouri. The Lady
Tigers hit 11-of-12 shots from the charity stripe in the first half, while
ASU was 2-of-2 as Missouri took a 40-29 lead into the locker room at the
break. Missouri also out-rebounded ASU 27-16 in the first half, 16 of the
boards on the offensive end.
“We faced a good team on the road, and we didn’t handle ourselves
very well,” said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. “The rebounding was one
thing, but the problem was way before the rebounds ever happened. We
were out of position defensively, we didn’t rotate effectively defensively,
and hence, we were never in a position to rebound. We were so out of
position beforehand, that we never had a chance to rebound the missed
shots.”
In the second half, matters got worse for the Lady Indians as
Arkansas State managed just six points through the first 16 minutes, and
the Missouri lead ballooned to as much as 29 points.
For the game, Missouri enjoyed a 72-55 advantage in shots taken
from the floor, out rebounded the Lady Indians 46-33, and forced 21 ASU
turnovers.
In addition to Davie’s 26 points, the Lady Indians also got 15 points
from Rudy Sims, four from Ashley Anderson, and two each from Ali
Carter, Ebonie Jefferson, and Lyndsay Schlup.
The Lady Indians’ Missouri road trip continues Monday night as
ASU heads to Springfield to take on Missouri State in a 7:05 matchup.
“Right now, I’m not worried about Monday night, I am worried about
December 16 when the conference season starts,” Boyer said. “We have
to get ourselves re-energized, and we’ve got to get our effort back...and
that’s going to start defensively. We’ll take Monday when it gets here, but
right now I am worried more about the middle of December when Sun
Belt play starts.”
defeat the Missouri State (0-3) Lady Bears 67-54 Monday night at the John Q. Hammons Center
in Springfield.
Davie finished with a double-double on the night, scoring 21 points and pulling down 10
rebounds, Anderson added 16 points and Carter scored 10.
ASU forced 24 turnovers in the game, and held Missouri State’s Tahnee Balerio, who came
into the game averaging 18.5 points, to just 10 on the night - zero in the first half. Balerio did not
score until she hit a three with just over 14 minutes remaining.
The victory came on one of the toughest home courts in the country. Missouri State holds a
237-33 record on its home court since the 1989-90 season.
“The whole plan was to work on Balerio, to wear her out,” said ASU head coach Brian
Boyer. “We have watched Rudy Sims for over three years, and I sometimes still underestimate
how good of a defender she is. Rudy was right in her face. We worked in Jazmine Taylor and
Brittney Hiles, and they did a good job on her as well. That’s where it all started for us tonight,
with our guards putting pressure on Balerio.”
Arkansas State went on a 9-0 run midway through the first half to take a 15-6 lead, and led
27-19 at the half. ASU’s eight-point cushion at the break was helped by six steals, 12 points from
Davie and eight from Ashley Anderson.
Anderson scored the first eight ASU points of the second half to push the Lady Indian lead
to double digits, and when Missouri State head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson called for a
timeout at the 17:24 mark, ASU had built the lead to 35-23. Following a bucket by Missouri
State’s Tiff Terwelp, Arkansas State’s Caroline Starr sank a three pointer from the left corner and
Davie sank a pair of free throws to stretch the Lady Indian lead to 40-25. Arkansas State maintained the double-digit lead until the eight-minute mark, when Missouri State began to make a
push.
With just under seven minutes to play, the Lady Bears had whittled the ASU lead to 49-42
on a pair of free throws by Balerio, then guard Roxanne Stiles penetrated and sank a short jumper
at the six-minute mark to make it 49-44.
Sims answered with a jumper for ASU, followed by a three from Carter, and with five minutes to play the Lady Indian lead was back to 10 at 54-44.
The Lady Bears pulled to within seven twice in the next three minutes, then got to within
six on a putback by Davida Moore, but Carter answered with another three and Sims drove for a
layup with 1:10 remaining to put the lead back to 11 at 62-51. Davie converted a three-point play
with 44 seconds remaining to put the game away.
“It hard to describe how tough it is to play here,” said Boyer. “And when Ali Carter stepped
up and nailed the three late in the game, it was like she was in Pocahontas in the gym by herself.”
In addition to the double-digit nights from Davie, Anderson and Carter, ASU got seven
points from Starr, six points and six assists from Sims, five from Hiles and two from Taylor.
Missouri State was led by 14 points from Stiles.

ASU vs. Purdue
Nov. 24, 2006
Jonesboro, AR
JONESBORO, Ark. (11/24/06) — Despite Rudy Sims’ season-high 23
points and a late second-half surge, Arkansas State’s Lady Indians dropped a
close one, 67-61, to 10th-ranked Purdue Friday night at ASU’s Convocation
Center. Arkansas State drops to 2-3 overall while the Boilermakers are a perfect 6-0 on the year.
ASU’s Adrianne Davie added 13 points and 10 rebounds to pace the
Tribe, while Caroline Starr and Ali Carter each had nine.
“Let’s face it, we played pretty good and they still figured out how to get
out of here with a win,” said Head Coach Brian Boyer.
ASU got off to a quick start behind a couple of three-pointers by Sims and
Starr to put the Lady Indians up, 15-9. Purdue went into a zone defense and
the Lady Indians struggled with the Boilermakers’ tall front line which held
ASU scoreless for nearly 10 minutes in the first half. Purdue led by as much
as 14 points before ASU fought back to cut the lead to three, 39-33, at the half.
“You can’t give up runs like that on average teams,” continue Boyer.
“During that stretch we had so many turnovers that turned into points for
Purdue. You hear it in football so often, but the defense was on the field too
much.”
Davie came out in the second half and scored two straight layups and a
jumper by Sims evened the score at 39-all before ASU hit another four-minute
scoring drought which saw Purdue’s lead climb to 11. ASU turned on its own
defensive efforts to force the Boilermakers to miss some shots. The Lady
Indians made the transition baskets, slicing the Purdue lead to five, 64-59.
ASU had to foul late and several Lady Indian three-point tries wouldn’t fall,
leaving the final score.
“In basketball, you can never underestimate the first two minutes of the
second half, and our players came out and really believed. The run at the end
of the first half really gave these players enough life to think we had a shot
there.
“They carried over into the second half to give us a chance, but you have
to give it to Purdue, they didn’t get rattled. They just seemed to answer.”
Katie Gearlds led Purdue with 17 points and FahKara Malone and
Lindsay Hylton-Wisdom each added 15. Wisdom-Hylton had seven boards.

ASU vs. UAPB
Nov. 26, 2006
Jonesboro, AR
JONESBORO, Ark. (11-26-2006) - Three Arkansas State seniors scored
in double figures to lead the ASU Lady Indians to an 87-55 victory over the
Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions Sunday afternoon at the ASU Convocation
Center.
Adrianne Davie led the Lady Indians with 21 points, followed by Rudy
Sims with 15 and Ali Carter with 12 as ASU evened its record at 3-3 on the
season. UAPB dropped to 0-5 on the year.
In addition to her 21 points, Davie grabbed 11 rebounds to notch her third
consecutive double-double. Davie also tied a career high with four blocked
shots in the game.
Arkansas State jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the early going with Sims
finishing the first half with 15 points, to help the Lady Indians build a 45-31
lead at the break.
“I thought the start was not very good,” said Head Coach Brian Boyer.
“There are two ways to look at it-the outcome and the performance. It wasn't
exactly the performance we wanted, but we got the outcome.”
ASU quickly expanded the lead to 20 points in the second period as Davie
poured in 17 second-half points. The ASU lead reached 30 points when freshman Jazmine Taylor hit a free throw to make 79-49 with 3:15 remaining.
All 13 players on ASU's active roster played, and all scored in the game.
In addition to the double figure afternoon from Davie, Sims and Carter, the
Lady Indians also got seven points each from Ashley Anderson and Lyndsay
Schlup, six points from Jazmine Taylor and five from Caroline Starr.
Veronica Smith added four points, Tabitha Christian finished with three
points, Kelsey Lock, Melia Pence, and Ebonie Jefferson all added two points,
and Brittney Hiles closed out the scoring with a single point.
“I thought Adrianne, Rudy and Ali looked tired,” continued Boyer. “But,
those are excuses and we've got to get better than that. Come late December
and January, we're doing this every weekend.
“We did a better job the second half of getting the ball to Adrianne but she
did a better job of finishing. But, she's a competitor.”

ASU vs. South Dakota St.
Nov. 30, 2006
Jonesboro, AR
JONESBORO, Ark. (11-30-2006) - Arkansas State senior Adrianne Davie
poured in a career-high 31 points and senior Rudy Sims added 20 to lead the
Lady Indians to a 67-52 win over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits Thursday
night at the ASU Convocation Center. ASU is now 4-3 overall while South
Dakota State drops to 4-2.
Almost 50 percent of Davie's points came from the charity stripe, as she
sank 15-of-17 from the line on the night. Davie also finished the night shooting 8-of-14 from the floor, pulled down eight rebounds and blocked two shots.
“Adrianne is strong; she catches, finishes and gets to the free throw line,”
said ASU Head Coach Brian Boyer. “When a player like Adrianne can hit 15
of 17 from the free throw line, she's going to have a great night.”
The Lady Indians held South Dakota State guard Megan Vogel to just four
points on the night. Vogel came into the game averaging just over 20 points
per game.
“We're just thrilled with the fact that I think our players really bought into
the keys to get this victory,” continued Boyer. “I know statistically people will
look at performances of Adrianne and Rudy that were great offensive performances. But, truly it was a great team effort. We were active and bought into
making someone else beat us besides Vogel. They got some open looks but we
made someone else shoot the ball and that's what we wanted to do.”
The Lady Indians never trailed in the game and stretched the lead to double digits at 22-12 when Davie sank a pair of free throws with 7:42 remaining
in the half. A three-pointer by senior guard Ali Carter expanded the ASU lead
to 34-18 at the break as the Lady Indians held the Jackrabbits to 22 percent
shooting from the floor in the opening period.
A pair of free throws by ASU senior guard Rudy Sims extended the ASU
lead to 21 points at 45-24 with 14:23 remaining, and the Jackrabbits did not
get within 12 points in the remainder of the game.
“Up until about four minutes left in the game, I'm still scared to death of
Vogel,” Boyer said. “This player can flat out score. What shocks me so much
is that she didn't take that many attempts, but I give our players credit and they
swung to her. But, she was very unselfish. She distributed the ball and made
some good decisions, but the bottom line is her teammates have to make the
shots and they did not do that tonight.”
In addition to the double figure night from Davie and Sims, the Lady
Indians also got six points from Ali Carter, four from Jazmine Taylor, three
from Lyndsay Schlup, two from Ashley Anderson and one point from Caroline
Starr.

ASU vs. San Jose St.
Haas Pavilion
Dec. 2, 2006
Berkeley, CA
BERKELEY, Calif. (12-2-2006) - Seniors Adrianne Davie and Rudy Sims
combined for 53 points to lift the Arkansas State Lady Indians (5-3) to a 9071 win over San Jose State (0-7) Saturday night in the California Contra Costa
Times Classic at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif.
Davie finished the night with 28 points and a team-high eight rebounds,
while Sims finished with a season high 25 points, five rebounds and a season
high four steals. Ashley Anderson also finished in double figures for ASU, netting 10 points on the night. ASU's 90 points were another season-high for the
Lady Indians, eclipsing an 87-point effort against Arkansas Pine Bluff Nov.
26.
"We did enough good things to get the win, but we didn't play with a lot
of discipline," said ASU head coach Brian Boyer. "Probably some of that was
fighting off fatigue from the travel. Adrianne was awesome tonight as was
Rudy, and Ali came out in the second half and showed tremendous senior leadership.
Powered by 20 first-half points from Davie, ASU led by as many as 13
points in the opening period, but a late push by San Jose State cut the Lady
Indian lead to 40-36 at the break.
The Lady Indians went on a 9-2 run to open the second half, stretching
the lead back to double figures at 49-38 on a pair of free throws by Sims with
17:16 remaining.
Arkansas State built its lead to as much as 15 points midway through the
second half, then put the game away down the stretch.
In addition to the double-figure efforts from Davie, Sims and Anderson,
the Lady Indians also got eight points and five rebounds from Ali Carter, five
points from Jazmine Taylor, four each from Kelsey Lock, Brittney Hiles and
Lyndsay Schlup, and two points from Ebonie Jefferson. Caroline Starr added
a team-high five assists and six rebounds on the night. The Lady Indians
outscored SJSU 38-18 in the paint, held a 29-10 advantage in points off of
turnovers, and shot 31-of-42 at the line, while the Spartans 14-of-18.
Arkansas State will take on host California in Sunday's championship
game. The 16th ranked Lady Bears rolled past Harvard 96-54 in Saturday's
early game. Sunday's ASU-Cal matchup is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m., central.
"This year's schedule is very strong, but what it does lack is nationally
ranked teams," said Boyer. "We held our own against nationally ranked
Purdue, and it will take an even bigger effort against Cal tomorrow, but we are
going to go out and give it our best shot and see how we can do."

BERKELEY, Calif. - The 16th-ranked California Lady Bears (6-1) used a
powerful inside game that included 27 points from Ashley Walker to defeat the
Arkansas State Lady Indians 81-62 in the finals of the Cal Contra Costa Times
Classic Sunday night at Haas Arena in Berkeley. The Lady Bears outscored
ASU 44-16 in the paint and also got 18 second chance points, while holding
Arkansas State (5-4) to just six.
?Our plan of trying to choke in on their post players was spurty, and when
it didn't pay off, they made us pay,? said ASU head coach Brian Boyer.
?Scheduling teams like this will only make us better. We didn't take any easy
answers with our scheduling, and we are going to be fine.?
Arkansas State seniors Adrianne Davie and Rudy Sims were named to the
all-tournament team following the finals, along with Cal's Keanna Levy and
Walker, who was named the tournament MVP. Harvard's Niki Finnelli and San
Jose State's Brittany Helm were also named to the all-tournament team. After
combining for 53 points in the Lady Indians 90-71 opening-round win over
San Jose State, Sims hit for 19 against the Lady Bears, while Davie finished
with 14 before fouling out late in the game.
California led 45-34 at the half, with 24 of the Lady Bears' points coming
from in the paint, and 10 from the free throw line. The Lady Bears built the
lead to as much as 16 points in the first half, getting 13 first-half points from
Ashley Walker and 10 from Keanna Levy, but ASU stayed within striking distance behind 14 first half points from Sims. Sims hit 4-of-6 from behind the
three-point arc in the first half, including one just before the buzzer that pulled
the Lady Indians to within 11 at the break.
The two teams traded baskets through the first four minutes of the second
half before ASU cut the Cal lead to single digits at 51-42 on an inside bucket
from Jazmine Taylor, but the Lady Bears went on a 10-2 run that stretched the
Cal lead to 61-44 with just over 12 minutes to play. A pair of free throws by
Walker with 7:58 remaining pushed the Cal lead to 21 points at 71-50, and
ASU did not threaten down the stretch.
In addition to the offensive output from Sims and Davie, ASU also got
eight points from Ashley Anderson, seven from Lyndsay Schlup and Caroline
Starr, four points from Jazmine Taylor and three from Ali Carter. Starr led
ASU on the boards with five, while Anderson, Davie and Schlup all grabbed
four rebounds each.

JONESBORO, Ark. (12/9/06) — Adrianne Davie knocked in 27 points
and grabbed 12 rebounds while Rudy Sims added 22 more points to lead
Arkansas State’s assault on Oklahoma State and handed the Cowgirls their
first loss of the season as the Lady Indians won 80-73 Saturday night in the
Convocation Center. ASU is now 6-4 overall and OSU is 8-1.
“It was a great win for these players. It was a hard-fought win,” said ASU
Head Coach Brian Boyer. “I don’t know where to start. I’m so proud of these
players. It will be surprising the rest of the year if we see a game that was this
physical and at times just downright wild.
“The players didn’t shy away from it. They had fun with it and handled it
well. The execution was good to get the lead. From the the six-minute mark to
the two-and-a half mark, we really got rattled, but from the two-and-a-half
minute mark on, we played like a veteran team and played like a team who’s
capable of winning a lot of games this year.”
What started out to look like it was shaping up to be a relatively easy
game soon turned into a frantic finish as Oklahoma State sliced away a 15point ASU lead with 6:46 remaining in the game to two with 1:50 left.
However, Sims hit two straight jumpers to keep the Lady Indians ahead and
OSU had to foul. Caroline Starr and Ali Carter each hit free throws to secure
the win.
Oklahoma State struck first with Maria Cordero hitting a layup after both
Davie and Sims missed shots. ASU’s Ashley Anderson scored on a jumper and
the Lady Indians had a quick 6-2 lead. Davie hit seven of her nine shot
attempts for 15 points in the first half with Sims grabbing five rebounds.
Cordero had 10 at the midway point for the Cowgirls.
“This is a great win,” continued Boyer. “This is a pivotal game for us.
With the schedule we play, 6-4 is much better than 5-5. This assures us of a
winning record in our non-conference schedule.”
Kelsey Lock added nine points and Caroline Starr had seven for ASU.
Cordero ended the night leading OSU with 18 points while Danielle Green had
15, Andrea Riley added 13, and Rashidat Sadiq had 11. Sadiq also led with
eight boards and Cordero and Riley both added six apiece.
ASU ended the night hitting 50.9 percent from the field while OSU hit
37.8 percent.

ASU vs. La.-Lafayette
Earl K. Long Gym
Dec. 16, 2006
Lafayette, LA
LAFAYETTE, La., (12-16-2006) - Arkansas State senior guard Rudy
Sims recorded the first triple-double in the history of the ASU women's basketball program, sparking the Lady Indians to a 65-58 overtime victory over
the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (8-4, 1-1) Saturday night at Earl K.
Long Gym. The game was the Sun Belt Conference opener for ASU, and
boosted the Lady Indians to 7-4 overall on the season.
Sims finished the night with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, overshadowing the fifth double-double of the season by senior center Adrianne
Davie, who finished the game with 26 points and 15 rebounds. Sims' effort
was even more remarkable considering she started the game 0-for-8 from the
floor.
“I have been coaching a lot of years either as an assistant or as a head
coach, and that was my first triple-double to see in person,” said ASU head
coach Brian Boyer. “It is a huge accomplishment, especially because of the
way it happened. She was struggling from the field, but she didn't quit. She is
such a great example for young players. When her shot wasn't falling, she
found another way. She got double figure rebounds and double figure assists,
and then all of a sudden the shots start falling.”
The Lady Indians rallied from a five-point deficit in the final five minutes
of regulation to send the game into overtime. Davie hit a short jumper with
1:51 to play in regulation to pull the Lady Indians within a point a 50-49, and
sophomore guard Caroline Starr tied the game at 50-50 with a free throw at
the one-minute mark. Arkansas State had an opportunity to win the game in
regulation, but Sims' driving shot in the lane with six seconds remaining was
short of the mark.
Arkansas State dominated the overtime period, scoring the first nine point
to take a 59-50 lead. Sims' steal, layup and free throw with 3:34 to play ignited the ASU run, and was followed by six straight points from Davie, whose
free throw with 1:02 remaining gave ASU its biggest lead of the night at nine
points.
Louisiana-Lafayette's Sonora Edwards trimmed the Lady Indian lead to
59-52 with a jumper at the 52-second mark, but Starr responded with a pair of
free throws five seconds later to boost the lead back to nine points and put the
game away.
In the first half, the Lady Indians could not find a rhythm and trailed 2723 at the break. Arkansas State turned the ball over 15 times in the opening
frame, but stayed in striking distance thanks to 13 first-half points from Davie.
The Lady Indians suffered a season-high 28 turnovers in the game, but turned
the ball over just once in the overtime period.
“I think the key to this whole game was that we got to halftime with it still
within reach,” said Boyer. “We almost felt like that was a victory within itself
because of our turnovers and the offensive rebounds they were getting.”
“By the time we got to the last couple of minutes, and then in overtime,
both teams were really exhausted,” added Boyer. “It was just a matter of who
was going to hit the shots, and fortunately for us, they were trying to score
from the outside, and when you get tired, you just don't have the legs.
Fortunately we were able to get it inside and get to the free throw line, and hit
some key shots when we had to.”
In addition to the double-digit efforts from Sims and Davie, the Lady
Indians also got five points and eight rebounds from Lyndsay Schlup, nine
points from Ali Carter and six from Starr. Ebonie Jefferson and Jazmine Taylor
added two points each, and Brittney Hiles finished the night with a single
point. Yolanda Jones led ULL with 22 points, and Onna Charles added 19.
