CSI Women working toward
third straight Region 18 Title
The College of Southern Idaho Women’s Basketball team will build on the experience of four returning
players from last year’s Scenic West Athletic Conference and Region 18 Championship team to get back to
the NJCAA National Tournament in Salina, Kansas.
The Golden Eagles will have to do it without All American Patrice Toston, who helped lead CSI the last two
seasons before graduating and going on to play at Utah Valley University. But the four returning sophomores
combined for 30.9 points, 14.8 rebounds, 6.42 assists and 4.69 steals per game. Leading the way will be Region 18 second-team selection and guard Holly Blades (13.9 ppg, 6.9 rbg). She is joined by returning guards
Rachelle Owens (Carson, Calif.) and McClain Williams (Eagle) and returning forward Elisabet Lopez Sagrera
(Barcelona, Spain).
“All four of our returners played significant minutes as freshmen, especially late in the season,” said CSI
head coach Randy Rogers. “They understand how
tough our league is and what it will take to compete at the national level, having made the trip
back to nationals last season.”
At the guard position, Blades, Owens and Williams will get help from incoming frehsmen Ruby
Shreeve (Kuna), Denajha Kie (Las Vegas, Nev.),
Katie Hughes (Filer), Matti Ventling (Las Vegas,
Nev.), Ralena Phillips (Las Vegas, Nev.) and
Alexia Mefi (Seattle, Wash.)
“We have an athletic group of guards that can
score and defend,” Rogers said. “We will be able
to apply pressure on our opponents because we
can substitute deep into our bench.”
Mefi can also play the forward position with
Sagrera. Freshman Mariah Bankhead (Twin
Falls), whose dad Shawn Bankhead played basketball for CSI, will see time at forward and
center for the Eagles.
“I’m excited to see what Alexia, Elisabet and
Mariah can do for us,” Rogers said. “They are
talented and agressive players that are very capable of having big games. All three could have
some big games offensively and in the rebounding
column.”
On paper, the Golden Eagles have just two
centers - Samantha Lubcke (Australia) and Tina

2014-15 Outlook
Vernon (Sparks, Nev.) But Mefi, Sagrera and Bankhead can all play inside.
“Samantha is the type of player that can do it all for us. She will consistently be one of our top scorers and
rebounders and could post a lot of double-double performances. Tina has a ton of potential and will be fun to
watch as she learns our system,” Rogers said.
Having, won the Region 18 Tournament the past two years, the Golden Eagles enter the season as the team
to beat. CSI is the highest ranked Scenic West Athletic Conference team in the NJCAA pre-season poll at
seventh. But Salt Lake is close at 10th.
“You can throw the rankings out when it comes to our region. Every team in our conference is capable of
beating each other on any given night,” Rogers said. “We will be very young early but I think we have a team
capable of doing good things late. It’s been fun to work
with this group. They work hard every day and want to
improve and represent CSI well.”

runner-up titles.
In 12 years Rogers feels privileged to have coached 15 All-Americans, 17 academic All-Americans and has
helped 53 players continue on to four-year colleges and universities (Texas A M, Arizona, Oregon State, Boise State,
Texas Tech etc…). Five players have continued their basketball careers in the professional ranks.
Rogers came to CSI from Spring Creek High School where his teams qualified for the state tournament in each of
his five seasons. He was named coach of the year in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. He holds a conference record
of 50-10 (.833) and an overall record of 92-49. Rogers earned his bachelor’s degree from Utah State University in
physical education. Prior to attending Utah State, he attended Salt Lake CC and Dixie State College.

President Jeff Fox
Dr. Jeff Fox was named the fourth College of Southern Idaho
President in October of 2013, with an official start date of January
2014. He started at CSI as an Associate Professor of English in 1987;
in 2006, he attained the rank of Professor of Merit. He received
his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in English from California
State University at Sacramento and his Ph. D. in Higher Education
Leadership from the University of Idaho (his 2008 dissertation was on
community college presidencies.)
From 1987 to 2000, he taught a variety of courses including
literature, humanities, composition, and Japanese language. Fox
was appointed as Director of the Academic Development Center in
2000, and in 2003 he became Chair of the English, Languages, and
Philosophy Department. Fox was selected as CSI Academic Teacher of
the Year in 1995, and he was awarded the Teaching Excellence Award
from the J. A. & Kathryn Albertson and CSI Foundations in 2000.
In 2008 after a national search, Fox was appointed Executive Vice
President and Chief Academic Officer.
He and Evin, his wife of 31 years, raised their two sons in Twin Falls.
Athletic Director Joel Bate
Former CSI women’s basketball coach Joel Bate took over Golden Eagle
Athletic Director responsibilities in January 2007.
Bate, who had been teaching in the English Department since he arrived
on the CSI campus in 1993, gave up teaching in the classroom to work with
student-athletes and coaches on a daily basis.
Bate coached at CSI from 1993 until 2000, leading the Lady Golden
Eagles to the national tournament in 1999. During that span, Bate compiled
a 144-78 record. He coached four NJCAA All-Americans and four NJCAA
Academic All-Americans. Two players went on to play professional
basketball, including Jessica Gibbs Mesna who assisted current coach Randy
Rogers. In 1999, Bate earned Region 18 Coach of the Year honors.
Prior to working at CSI, Bate taught and coached at Bishop Kelly
High School in Boise. He taught senior English and headed the English
department. In addition to his teaching duties, he coached girls’ volleyball,
track and basketball, where he compiled a 114-32 record and four third-place
state finishes.
Bate earned his undergraduate degree in marketing at Boise State
University and his master’s degree in English at the University of Idaho in 1986.
Bate and his wife Donna and three children live in Twin Falls.
