The Coaches North Texas is led by first-year head coach Shanice Stephens. She begins her coaching career with the Mean Green after spending time as the associate head coach at Clemson and Rice University. She is the youngest head coach in the Sun Belt Conference and the second youngest in the state of Texas. Stephens picked up her first career coaching victory over UMKC. Her record is 7-13 through 20 games. Western Kentucky is led by seventh-year head coach Mary Taylor-Cowles. She has led Western Kentucky to six straight 20-win seasons and took the Hilltoppers to the NCAA Tournament last season. She has compiled a record of 149-65 at Western Kentucky. The Last Time Out DENTON, Texas (1/28/09) – Amber Jackson scored a career-high 30 points however it was not enough to hold off Troy, who won 80-78 in an overtime heartbreaker Wednesday evening at The Super Pit. After forcing an extra period, North Texas had an opportunity to send the game into a second overtime, however Mansa El’s made layup at the buzzer came a half a second too late. Jackson, who was battling cramps throughout the night, played 35 minutes and finished with 30 points and 10 rebounds. North Texas (7-13, 3-6) trailed by as much as 11 points with 5:13 left in regulation, however the Mean Green slowly chipped into the lead and used some late-game heroics to force overtime. Trailing 69-65, Jo Hall missed a one-and-one free throw but Yari Escalera tracked down the rebound and nailed a threepointer deep in the left corner to make it 69-68 with 33 seconds remaining. After Troy made one free throw, Jackson hit the game-tying shot with seven seconds left to complete the comeback. Troy would have one last chance to win the game but North Texas did not allow Kylie Morrissy a shot opportunity as time expired. North Texas jumped on Troy early by taking a 7-0 lead and expanded that margin to 25-12 with 7:40 left in the first half. NORTH TEXAS PROBABLE STARTERS No. 3 5 30 31 33 Name....................

Western Kentucky leads the series 7-5 against the Mean Green. The Hilltoppers knocked off the Mean Green last season in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament last season 61-53 on their way to the conference title. Western Kentucky is a perfect 5-0 against North Texas at home including a win over the Mean Green in the 2003 SBC Tournament. Hitting A New High Amber Jackson continues to reach new heights as she broke her career-high in points with 30 against Troy. Its the first time that Jackson has ever scored 30 points in a game for her career and the. Jackson and Brittney James have both topped the 30-point mark this season, marking the first time since the 2001-02 season that two players have scored more than 30 points in a game. Jackson and James have had three games of 30 points or more over the last two years. Prior to last season, the Mean Green went four seasons without a player scoring 30 points in a game. Lucky 13 Amber Jackson’s night against Troy was record setting for a number of reasons, but she also connected on 13 field goals in the game. Its the most field goals in a single game by a player since current assistant coach Jalie Johnson (Mitchell) had 14 field goals on February 7, 2002. Jackson is also on pace to enter the top 10 for most points in a single season in school history. The record is 611 set by Clara Campbell in the 1985-86 season. She is on pace for 524 points, which would be the fifth most in school history and the most since Johnson and the 2001-02 season. Stay Away The Mean Green’s continue its winning ways away from home this season by beating FIU for its fifth road win of the season. North Texas has already tied for the third most road wins in school history this season by winning five on the road. The school record for road wins in a single season is seven, set during the 20005-06 season. Of more intrigue is the Mean Green has a chance to finish the season with more road wins than home wins on the season, which has only happened twice before in school history. North Texas has four more home games and six more on the road. Only in the 1979-80 and 1983-84 seasons did North Texas win more road games than home games.

Only two players in school history have ever shot 50 percent or better in school history in back-to-back seasons, Freda Deckard and Clara Campbell. Deckard last did it in the 1994-95 and 95-96 seasons. Campbell had her back-to-back seasons in 1985-86 and 86-87. Jackson shot exactly 50 percent from the floor last season. Group Activities While the Mean Green as a team has been active creating turnovers, a trio of players has been racking up steals. Amber Jackson, Brittney James, and Tricia Lee are on pace for more than 50 steals this season. North Texas hasn’t had three players with 50 steals or more since the 1998-99 season. Jackson has 39, James 38, and Lee 36 on the season. Its Okay To Steal One area that Shanice Stephens has focused on is getting turnovers and mistakes and the North Texas Basketball On The Air For the seventh straight season all home and away North Texas basketball games can be heard on KNTU-FM (88.1) which broadcast at 100,000 watts from the North Texas campus and can be heard throughout the Dallas/Ft.

Jackson topped the 1,000 point plateau against Houston. James has 827 points for her career and is averaging 10.7 points a game. She needs to average just over 16 points a game to have a chance to reach 1,000 points. She is on pace to have 934 at the end of the season.

The four players will make up the first recruiting class for Coach Stephens and join transfers Brittney Hudson and Niqky Hughes to sign with the Mean Green. The four players represent not only some of the best talent from across the state of Texas but also the region. Stephens added two guards in Raquel Cuffie and Lakevia “KeKe” Taylor and two forwards in Jasmine Godbolt and Brittany Thompson. Godbolt, one of the top players in the DFW metroplex, was a key player in the run of Naaman Forest High School to the state tournament last season. Thompson, the other forward, put up some of the best numbers in the state last season as Overall 17-4 .809 11-9 .550 12-8 .600 10-11 .476 9-11 .450 7-13 .350 3-17 .150 East Division Conference Middle Tennessee 10-0 1.000 Western Kentucky 5-4 .556 South Alabama 5-5 .500 Florida Atlantic 5-5 .500 Troy 4-6 .400 Florida International 2-8 .200 2008-09 Sun Belt conference preseason poll East Division 1.

Taylor is one of the best rising point guards in Texas, averaging over six assists per contest as a junior and earning All-Region honors. Time To Bond North Texas will be tested in a number of areas this year and one of those will be time away from home. The Mean Green plays 17 road games this season, which ties the school record set just two seasons ago. North Texas has 18 games away from home, one of those however is a neutral site game with Charleston Southern. The good news is that the longest road swing is to start the year as the Mean Green plays its first five games away from home. Its the first time since the 1998-99 season that the Mean Green will play five straight games to open the year away from home.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT SHANICE STEPHENS HEAD COACH SHANICE STEPHENS On April 16, 2008 Shanice Stephens was named the University of North Texas’ fifth women’s basketball head coach by University President Dr. Gretchen M. Bataille and Athletic Director Rick Villarreal. Known around the country as one of the best recruiters, Stephens has spent the last three seasons as the associate head coach at Clemson and was at Rice for nine seasons prior to that. Stephens picked up her first career win as a head coach against UMKC. Stephens, 37, is the youngest head coach in the Sun Belt Conference and the second-youngest Division I head coach in the state of Texas. While at Clemson, Stephens was the recruiting coordinator that saw the Lady Tigers sign some of the best classes in school history, including the nation’s 22nd ranked class in 2006 by The All-Star Girls Report. Lele Hardy, the first recruit to sign under McKinney, had one of the most prolific freshman campaigns in program history. Hardy was named to the 2007 ACC All-Freshman team and set numerous school freshman records in 2006-07. “I have had the pleasure of working with Shanice Stephens for 12 years. She is a hard working coach with a real passion for the game of basketball and coaching. Coach Stephens has a real gift when it comes to communicating with people and this gift serves her very well with players, recruits and co-workers. I have no doubt that she will do a great job with the North Texas women’s basketball program” --Cristy McKinney, Clemson Head Women’s Basketball Coach Stephens, who has a reputation for developing great defenders, guided Hardy to an ACC-best 3.27 steals per game her freshman season. Hardy collected 98 for the season to rank second all-time in program history. “I think she has every critical element to be ultra successful at North Texas. She can really teach and I’ve seen that first hand. She communicates in varied ways and it’s all earmarked to reach each person. What sets her apart is she has the passion but also compassion, and that’s very rare that you see people combine both. She is a tremendous teacher and an even better person, but she will never lose sight of her number one job which is to impact the lives of student-athletes in a positive manner” --Jeff Van Gundy, ESPN Analyst and Former NBA Coach Stephens had a significant impact in the development of four-time All-WAC selection, All-Time Top 50 WAC player and former WNBA player Marla Brumfield. Under Stephens’ guidance, Brumfield finished first in Rice history with 311 steals, and third in Lady Owl history with 1,703 career points scored. Stephens also coached Charonda Wilson, a two-time WAC All-Defensive Team selection. Stephens spent three years as an Athletic Amateur Union (AAU) coach in Oklahoma, guiding her 1996 team to the state championship. During her time at Rice from 1996-2005, Stephens was part of program that reached heights never before seen by the women’s basketball team. Rice won 20 games or more in six of the nine seasons and reached the NCAA Tournament twice (2000, 2005) along with trips to the WNIT in 1998, 1999, 2002, and 2004. Along with the six post-season appearances for Rice, Stephens helped the Lady Owls to 179 wins and was part of the program that averaged just under 20 wins per season in her time at Rice. The 2004-05 season saw Rice capture a school record 24 wins and its second WAC Tournament title and trip to the NCAA Tournament. In 1999-00 Stephens helped lead Rice to the WAC Tournament Championship and the school’s first ever NCAA Tournament berth. Stephens earned her undergraduate degree in 1993 from Oklahoma State, where she earned two letters and was a member of two NCAA Tournament teams. The Cowgirls advanced to the Sweet 16 of the national tournament during her senior season. Stephens started at point guard for Austin Peay during the 1989-90 season, her first year of eligibility. She earned a masters degree in 1996 from the University of Central Oklahoma. The former Shanice Bottoms is married to Garrett Stephens. She has two daughters, Sydney Alexandria (7) and Lauryn A’lyce (1), a son Grayson David , and two stepsons Garrett (13) and Grant (8).

(11/17/08) – Despite a career-high 21 points from Tricia Lee, the Marshall Thundering Herd held off a feisty North Texas women’s basketball team to win 78-69 from the Cam Henderson Center. Lee had five 3-pointers on the night including one with 2:26 remaining to cut the Marshall lead to 70-67. The Thundering Herd (2-0) though answered back with a lay-up from Alix Barnette and outscored North Texas 9-2 in the final two minutes to pick up the win. It was a back and forth game that saw North Texas break open a close game in the first half with a 12-3 run to take a 33-26 lead with three minutes to play in the half. Marshall answered back with a run of its own to end the first half. The Thundering Herd got a basket at the buzzer from Casey Baker to cap off a 10-1 run to close the half and take a 36-34 lead into the break. North Texas (0-1) came out strong to start the second half taking a six point, 48-42, five minutes in thanks to 10 quick points from guard Brittney James. Marshall had another answer as post Tynikki Crook proved to be a physical presence down low. Crook fueled a Thundering Herd 9-0 run to give Marshall a 65-57 lead with seven minutes to play. North Texas had one last rally but it came up short. Crook led all scorers with 21 points and 13 rebounds. Joining Lee in double figures for North Texas was James who had 13, Amber Jackson with 12, and Jo Hall with 11 points. KANSAS CITY, Missouri (11/22/08) – Brittney James scored a game-high 23 points and Amber Jackson recorded a double-double (15 points, 11 rebounds) to help Shanice Stephens and the Mean Green record their first win of the season in a 80-74 victory over University of Missouri-Kansas City. After a high scoring first half, North Texas (1-1) held the Kangaroos to only 30 percent shooting from the field and 34 points in the second half. North Texas never trailed after gaining a 21-19 lead at the 10:06 mark and eventually pushed their first half lead to points before they went into the half with a 45-40 lead. The Mean Green came out of the gates strong in the second half by going on a 14-7 run that was capped by a Brittani Bailey jumper to extend North Texas’ lead to 59-47. Bailey had her best game of the season with 11 points in 20 minutes of action. UMKC (1-2) made a run late by trimming the lead to 78-74 with 39 seconds remaining but never got any closer as James made two clutch free throws to secure the win.

The Mean Green had 22 steals, the fifth most in school history, and forced 34 Islander turnovers to pick up their second straight road win. “We picked up the intensity on the defensive end but we are still a work in progress,” said coach Shanice Stephens. “We have some things that we need to work on but to get a road win is always good”. The Mean Green (2-1) never trailed in the game, leading wire-towire. North Texas turned the Islander mistakes into 25 points and had nine different players with steals. The Mean Green jumped on the Islanders from the start, taking a 13-5 lead seven minutes into the game. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi never got any closer than nine points in the first half. The second half was controlled by the Mean Green as they stretched their lead out to 16 points at 47-31 with 10 minutes to play. The Islanders (1-3) made one final run late in the game to cut the lead to eight, but a layup by Tricia Lee with two minutes to play ended the comeback. Amber Jackson also had double figures on the night for the 49th time of her career with 12 points while notching a career-best six steals in the game. SAN ANTONIO, Texas (11/28/08) – Jo Hall tied her career-high with 25 points and North Texas won its third straight game with a 65-61 over UTSA in the opening game of the UTSA Thanksgiving Classic. The Mean Green (3-1) rallied from a nine-point first-half deficit, made a key defensive stop, and four free throws down the stretch to hold off the Roadrunners. With North Texas leading 61-59, UTSA (1-4) had a chance to tie the game with 18 seconds left but Amber Jackson blocked the shot of Onika Anderson and the Mean Green grabbed the rebound. Hall and Yari Escalera finished the game off from the free throw line with four straight makes. The Mean Green had an early 10-9 lead, but UTSA went on a 13-2 run to open up a nine-point lead at 21-12 with eight minutes left in the first half. Hall single handily kept North Texas in the game as she went 7-for-7 in the first half and keyed a 20-7 run over the next five minutes. UTSA scored the final five points of the half to take one point lead into the break at 33-32. The Mean Green opened the second half with a 12-6 run to lead by five at 44-39. North Texas grew the lead to 11 at 56-45 with six minutes to play after five straight points by Escalera. UTSA made one final push late in the game to get the lead to two points but came up short. Jackson finished with 15 and 13 rebounds, her second double-double of the season and fifth of her career. The Mean Green has won three road games through four games, which is faster than any other team in school history. 22 2008-09 university of north texas women’s basketball 5 Game Recaps Charleston Southern 97 North Texas 95 Convocation Center • San Antonio, Texas • 11/29/08 Charleston Southern..............tot-fg.......3-pt........................ rebounds Player............................fg...fga.....fg... fga.... ft... fta..... of...de.. tot.....pf....tp..... a..... to.... blk.. s.... min 33 Schwagmeyer, Ali.. f......4....8........0.... 2....... 3.... 4....... 0....4.... 4.......1.....11..... 1..... 3..... 0..... 2.... 29 30 Johnson, Lydia....... c.....7....9........0.... 0....... 2.... 5....... 2....1.... 3.......3.....16.... 0..... 2..... 1..... 2.... 32 03 Rutledge, Kiki........ g.....4....8........0.... 0....... 1.... 5....... 1....2.... 3.......2.....9...... 8..... 4..... 0..... 1.... 31 22 Wasmer, Kelsey...... g.....8....14......5.... 7....... 1.... 2....... 1....1.... 2.......2.....22.... 2..... 3..... 0..... 0.... 25 25 Tull, Katie.............. g.....9....12......3.... 4....... 3.... 4....... 2....3.... 5.......4.....24.... 4..... 4..... 0..... 0.... 40 15 Robinson, Crystal... ......1....1........0.... 0....... 5.... 5....... 0....2.... 2.......5.....7...... 0..... 2..... 0..... 0.... 15 32 Tolbert, Pam........... ......2....6........1.... 2....... 1.... 4....... 0....2.... 2.......3.....6...... 0..... 2..... 0..... 2.... 15 44 Rush, Lechell......... ......0....1........0.... 0....... 0.... 0....... 1....0.... 1.......3.....0...... 0..... 2..... 1..... 0.... 5 45 Decarvalho, Tina.... ......1....1........0.... 0....... 0.... 0....... 2....1.... 3.......0.....2...... 1..... 1..... 0..... 1.... 8 TEAM......................................................................... 1....1.... 2....... ...... ....... ...... ...... . .... . ...

James scored a career-high 34 points in the game but her game-winner at the buzzer fell just shy. Charleston Southern capped a furious second half rally after trailing by nine-points at the half by hitting nine 3-pointers and 60 percent of their shots. The Buccaneers (3-4) began their rally to start the second half after North Texas dominated the opening 20 minutes. Charleston Southern had an 11-2 run in the first three minutes of the half to tie the game up at 49-49. The Mean Green continued to maintain the lead until a 3-pointer by Kelsey Wasmer with 10 minutes to play gave the Buccaneers their first lead of the game at 69-67. Charleston Southern pushed its lead to 10-points at 83-73 with 6:51 to play. The Mean Green began its rally with three 3-pointers, one from Tricia Lee and two from James. A Lee lay-up with 1:31 to play made it a one-point game at 93-92, but Pam Tolbert hit a jumper from the baseline to put the Bucs up by three again at 95-92. A free throw by Lydia Johnson made it a four-point lead at 96-92 but Lee had another lay-up with 29 seconds to make is just a two-point Charleston Southern lead. Tolbert missed two free throws with 24 seconds to give the Mean Green a chance. Trailing by two, 96-94, James was fouled with six seconds to play while shooting a 3-pointer. She missed the first two free throws before making the last one to cut it to a one-point game at 96-95. Tolbert made one of two free throws to give Charleston Southern a 97-95 lead before the final miss by James. Amber Jackson recorded her second straight double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds as Lee had 15 points an Jo Hall added 16 points.

Amber Jackson scored 21 points to lead North Texas as she became the 10th player in school history to eclipse the 1,000 career point mark with 1,008 current points.

(12/18/08) – Shanice Stephens and the North Texas women’s basketball team introduced the Sun Belt and Louisiana-Lafayette to “94-Feet of Heat” in a 57-56 win over the Ragin’ Cajuns on Thursday. Her mantra from day one, NT’s first year head coach used some potent offense to vault the Mean Green (5-5, 1-0 Sun Belt) out to a 37-24 halftime lead and hung on to beat the Cajuns (2-9, 0-1 Sun Belt) with a pair of key defensive stands. After UL’s Mercedes Johnson hit a runner with just over a minute remaining to give the Cajuns their first lead of the game, Amber Jackson responded just seconds later to put NT back on top 57-56. Tricia Lee pulled out the game’s biggest hustle play when she dove for a loose ball on a UL inbounds play to give the Mean Green the possession with 26 seconds remaining, and Jackson came up with another big steal to ice the game. The reigning Sun Belt Player of the Week, Jackson led the Mean Green with 20 points and 12 rebounds for her seventh straight double-double. No Mean Green player since NT Hall-of-Famer Clara Campbell in 1985-86 had more consecutive double-doubles. The Mean Green gave the Cajuns little room to operate in the opening minutes. NT held Louisiana off the scoreboard for the game’s first 6:32, and jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead. The Cajuns responded with a run of their own before Mansa El got loose.

(12/28/08)- No. 21 Oklahoma State used a big second half run to pull away from the North Texas women’s basketball team and win their sixth straight game 80-54 from Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowgirls (9-2) lead wire-to-wire but blew the game open early in the second half with an 18-2 run and never looked back. “We just had too many mistakes today and were in a little bit of a rush on offense and you just can’t do that against a great team like Oklahoma State,” said coach Shanice Stephens. The Cowgirls opened that game with an 8-2 run and were able to push their lead to 19-10 with 13 minutes left in the first half. The Mean Green (5-7) kept the game close in the first half but Oklahoma State used a big run of 15-6 to end the first half and take a 40-22 lead.

The Cowgirls used the Mean Green’s mistakes to make the 18-2 run and take a 66-35 lead with 7 minutes left. The Mean Green held All-American Andrea Riley to a season-low 14 points and forced her into eight turnovers. Amber Jackson’s streak of eight straight double-doubles came to an end as she was held to 10 points and six rebounds. 2008-09 university of north texas women’s basketball 13 Game Recaps Middle Tennessee 72 North Texas 52 The Super Pit • Denton, Texas • 12/31/08 Middle Tennessee..................tot-fg.......3-pt........................ rebounds Player............................fg...fga.....fg... fga.... ft... fta..... of...de.. tot.....pf....tp..... a..... to.... blk.. s.... min 03 Queen, Emily......... f......3....10......0.... 3....... 0.... 0....... 1....5.... 6.......4.....6...... 2..... 5..... 0..... 2.... 28 21 Brown, Brandi........ f......3....9........2.... 7....... 1.... 2....... 1....3.... 4.......5.....9...... 8..... 5..... 1..... 3.... 31 22 Clark, Alysha.......... f......10..16......0.... 2....... 7.... 10..... 7....10.. 17.....3.....27.... 1..... 3..... 3..... 1.... 40 00 Lymon, Chelsia...... g.....3....10......1.... 6....... 2.... 2....... 0....5.... 5.......4.....9...... 2..... 3..... 0..... 2.... 40 10 Pickel, Jackie.......... g.....4....10......3.... 8....... 2.... 2....... 2....0.... 2.......3.....13.... 2..... 2..... 0..... 0.... 40 30 Lanning, Anne Marie. ......0....0........0.... 0....... 0.... 0....... 0....0.... 0.......0.....0...... 0..... 1..... 0..... 0.... 4 32 Garrett, Dana.......... ......3....3........0.... 0....... 2.... 3....... 1....5.... 6.......1.....8...... 1..... 3..... 1..... 1.... 17 TEAM......................................................................... 1....1.... 2....... ...... ....... ...... 1..... . .... . ...

(1/7/09) – UALR was able to hold off a late rally by the North Texas women’s basketball team and remain perfect in Sun Belt Conference play with a 70-61 win from the Jack Stephens Center. Down by as many as 17 points in the second half, the Mean Green (5-10, 1-3) cut the UALR (12-3, 4-0) lead to five points with 2:52 left at 61-56, but a key 3-pointer by Anshel Cooper was able to keep the Trojans ahead for good. “We played well tonight for about 30 minutes but we can’t have those types of defensive lapses and beat a team like UALR,” said coach Shanice Stephens. “Defensively we did what we needed to and got them out of their rhythm but we just have to find a way to be more consistent than that”. North Texas raced out to an early 7-0 lead five minutes into the game. That lead grew to 12 points at 21-9 with 7:36 remaining in the half before UALR made a crucial run to turn the game around. UALR went on a 17-0 run over the next 6:21 to surge ahead of North Texas 26-21 right before the break. The run continued into the second half as UALR turned a three-point halftime lead into a 15-point cushion with a 19-7 run. The Trojans pushed their lead to 17-points at 47-30 when the Mean Green began its comeback. Amber Jackson keyed a 15-4 North Texas run that cut the Trojans lead in half to 51-45 with 7:46 to play. The two teams traded baskets down the stretch until the 3-pointer by Cooper. Jackson had a game-high 26 points on the night, two shy of her career-high.

North Texas took control of the game from that point on as the defense started another 7-0 run. North Texas took an eight point lead into the break at 31-23.

After forcing an extra period, North Texas had an opportunity to send the game into a second overtime, however Mansa El’s made layup at the buzzer came a half a second too late.The Mean Green has now lost the last two meetings against Troy and leads the overall series 7-2. Jackson, who was battling cramps throughout the night, played 35 minutes and finished with 30 points and 10 rebounds. It was her 11th double-double of the season. Trailing 69-65, Jo Hall missed a one-and-one free throw but Yari Escalera tracked down the rebound and nailed a three-pointer deep in the left corner to make it 69-68 with 33 seconds remaining. After Troy made one free throw, Jackson hit the game-tying shot with seven seconds left to complete the comeback. Troy would have one last chance to win the game but North Texas did not allow Kylie Morrissy a shot opportunity as time expired. North Texas jumped on Troy early by taking a 7-0 lead and expanded that margin to 25-12 with 7:40 left in the first half. At that point the Mean Green had forced 10 turnovers and capitalized by turning those into 11 points. However, everything changed from that point on for Troy. For the remainder of the half the Trojans turned the ball over only once and went on a 27-9 run in the final seven minutes to take a 39-34 lead into halftime. 2008-09 university ofTexas north texas women’s North Combined Team Statistics (as of basketball Jan 28, 2009) All games 2008-09 Stats RECORD: ALL GAMES CONFERENCE NON-CONFERENCE OVERALL 7-13 3-6 4-7 Total ## Player gp-gs 31 Jackson, Amber 30 James, Brittney 03 Lee, Tricia 23 Escalera, Yari 33 El, Mansa 05 Hall, Jo 42 Timms, Torrian 20 Bailey, Brittani 34 Torru, Tamara 10 Buckley, Kelli 04 Thompson, Jeanee' 21 Goodman, Mimi 14 El, Ninye Team Total..........
