North Texas closes out its three-game homestand with a visit from the Florida Atlantic
Owls. The Mean Green is coming off a sevenpoint come-from-behind victory over Denver
to snap a six-game losing streak. North Texas
is going after only its second winning streak of
the season and can win back-to-back games at
home for the first time at home as well. Florida
Atlantic is coming off a 12-point win over FIU
to win its second game in league play. The
Owls are only 1-5 on the road this season.
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 6-11 through 17 games.
Florida Atlantic is led by ninth-year head coach
Chancellor Dugan. She led the Owls to the
NCAA Tournament in 2005-06 and a 20-win
season. In her nine-years at FAU she has a
record of 116-162. Her overall coaching record
is 275-235.
The Last Time Out
DENTON, Texas (1/14/2009) – Four players
scored in double-figures, including a careerhigh 17 points from freshman Mansa El and the
Mean Green snapped a six-game losing streak
with a 76-69 win over Denver Wednesday
evening at The Super Pit. North Texas (6-11,
2-4) went on a 9-0 run after the game was tied
63-63, including four points from Brittney
James and a clutch three-pointer from Yari
Escalera. The Mean Green tied a season-high
with 25 offensive rebounds and made 15-of-16
from the free throw line in the second half to
help North Texas get a much-needed victory.
Escalera continued her hot play of late by scoring a game-high 18 points, 14 of which came
in the second half. She also nailed 4-of-5 from
beyond the arc. After scoring only 25 points
in the first half, North Texas began the second
half on a 19-6 run to take the lead for the first
time since the 17:37 mark in the opening stages
of the contest. Escalera and El came out of the
locker room blazing to start second half. Each
player scored five consecutive points in the
midst of a 10-0 run, capped off by an Escalera three-point play to give the Mean Green
a 44-40 lead. After the Pioneers opened up a
25-13 at the 5:42 mark, the Mean Green closed
strong by going on a 12-9 run.

Covering North Texas
Credentials
Working press credentials can be requested by contacting Steven Bartolotta (940-369-8329). Full-season and single-game passes will be mailed whenever possible. If not, they will be
left at the Will Call table located at Gate C in the Super Pit.
Player Interviews
All interviews with North Texas players
must be arranged through the Media Relations Office. Players are available following prac-
tice once team activities have been completed. No interviews are allowed before practice. Please contact Steven Bartolotta for requests.
Weekly Media Luncheon
During the basketball season, North Texas
will conduct a weekly media luncheon every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. at the Super Pit. The luncheon will be held in the press room of the Super Pit and Coach Stephens will be
available for the media.
Post-Game Policies
The North Texas locker room is closed after home games. Coach Stephens and requested players will be available for interviews in the Media Room in The Super Pit.
The Series
North Texas and Florida Atlantic are meeting
for only the third-time in series history. The
Mean Green have won both previous meeting
and they have both been by the same margin,
eight points. North Texas won on the road
in Boca Raton last season 74-66. The only
meeting in Denton was an 80-72 win by the
Mean Green in 2007.
Second Half Surge
The Mean Green made a second-half rally
from nine-points down to defeat the Denver
Pioneers. North Texas scored 51 points in the
second half to complete the rally, the most
second half points since scoring 52 points
against UA-Monticello on November 21, 2007.
The Mean Green’s previous second half high
this season was 48 points against Charleston
Southern.
Monster Mansa
Freshman Mansa El turned in a career
performance against the the Denver Pioneers.
El shattered her career-high in points with 17
and assists with five. She was pivitol down
the stretch, scoring 14 of her 17 points in the
second half. It was the first double figure game
of El’s career. El also had her second best
assist-to-turnover ratio of the season with five
assists and just three turnovers.
Starting To Catch On
Yari Escalera has turned into a new player since
moving into the starting lineup. Escalera has
made four straight starts and is averaging 15.5
points a game and added another 18 points in
the win over Denver. Escalera, already a great
3-point shooter, has taken her long distance
game to another level. Escalera in the last four
games has hit 12 3-pointers while hitting 63
percent of her 3-pointers. While Escalera has
been torrid from the field, she has also gotten
things done on the defensive side. Escalera in
the last four games has averaged three steals.
Its Okay To Steal
One area that Shanice Stephens has focused
on is getting turnovers and mistakes and the
Mean Green is producing in that area. Through
17 games, North Texas has 189 steals and has
a chance to challenge the school record which
stands at 370. North Texas is on pace for 337
steals this season, which would be the fourth
most in school history. More impressive is that
number would be the most steals in a single
season for North Texas in over 24 years.
Welcome Back
Senior Jo Hall returned from her suspension
and saw 19 minutes of action against Denver.
While Hall had to shake off eight games worth
of rust, she was good for eight points and five
rebounds, right on her season average before
the suspension.
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 33,
James 33, and Lee 32 on the season.
The Magic Numbers
The Mean Green is 5-2 this season when
holding its opponent to 70 points or less but
1-9 when allowing more than 70 points this
season. In terms of field goal percentage, NT
is 3-1 when holding its opponent to less than
40 percent this season but only 3-10 when
allowing better than 40 percent shooting this
season. North Texas is 3-9 this season when
scoring 70 points or less but 3-2 when crossing
the 70-point threshold.
Going For Two
Amber Jackson recorded her 10th doubledouble of the season against Denver and she

is still averaging a double-double for the
season. Jackson is trying to become the player
in 22 seasons at North Texas to average a
double-double for the season. Not since Clara
Campbell in the 1986-87 season has a North
Texas player averaged a double-double for the
year. Jackson is at 16.8 points a game and 10.0
rebounds a game. She has 12 double-doubles
for her career and has scored in double figures
in 63 games for her career.
Two Of A Kind
Amber Jackson and Brittney James have a
chance to make a little history at North Texas.
Both players are eyeing the 1,000 point club
in scoring this year and if they both did, they
would be the first duo to score 1,000 points
for their career in the same season in school
history. Jackson topped the 1,000 point plateau
against Houston. James has 802 points for her
career and is averaging 11.2 points a game. She
needs to average just under 15 points a game to
have a chance to reach 1,000 points. She is on
pace to have 948 at the end of the season.
Stacking Up In The Sun Belt
North Texas ranks in the top 5 of 10
different statistical categories in the Sun Belt

third in offensive rebounding and second in

second in the league in scoring and second in
rebounding. Brittney James is 18th in the Sun
Belt in scoring at 11.1 points a game.
There’s Only One
Amber Jackson came into the season with
a lot of accolades and is living up to those
honors. Jackson and Arnika Brown of Western
Kentucky are the only players in the Sun Belt
Conference that rank in the top 5 in scoring,
rebounding, and offensive rebounds. Jackson
is the only the only player in the league to rank
in the top 10 in points, rebounds, field goal
percentage, free throw percentage, blocked
shots, steals, offensive and defensive rebounds.
Welcome To The Club
Amber Jackson continues to clear hurdles and
break records this season. Jackson became the
11th player in school history to reach 1,000
points for her career. Jackson now has her
sights set on moving up that list. She is 6th on
the career points list after passing Lisa Risinger
with 28 points against New Orleans. At her
current pace Jackson is on track to finish as
the fifth all-time leading scorer at North Texas.
She is just the sixth player in school history to
score 1,200 points for her career. Jackson also
has her eye on becoming the all-time leading
rebounder in school history. She needs only
51 more rebounds to pass Empress Drane.
Currently Jackson is on pace for 300. rebounds
this season, which would put her at 796 for her
career and well ahead of Drane.

The Last Time vs. Florida Atlantic
BOCA RATON, Fla. (1/19/08) – Amber
Jackson was a one-woman wrecking crew,
paving the way for a 74-66 Mean Green win at
Florida Atlantic on Saturday. Jackson scored
the final eight points of the first half, and the
first six points of the second to open a doubledigit North Texas (9-10, 4-3) lead that Florida
Atlantic (4-12, 0-7) wouldn’t overcome.
Jackson was just a point shy of her career high
with 22 total points, good for her third career
20-point outing and fifth consecutive game in
double figures. Brittney James, Erica Howard
and Jo Hall joined Jackson in double-figures
for North Texas. Hall tallied her second career
double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
The Owls hung step for step with the Mean
Green until the forward trio of Jo Hall, Erica
Howard and Jackson charged the NT offense
mid-first half.
About The Owls
Florida Atlantic snapped a three-game losing
streak with a 12-point win over FIU. The Owls
had been struggling of late having lost 10 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
she averaged 26 points a game and had a state
leading 22 rebounds a contest. Cuffie is one
of the premier guards in the North Carolina
region and played for perennial powerhouse
Oak Hill her sophomore season, helping lead
them to a national title. 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.
Most road games in school history in a season
2008-09: 17 games
2006-07: 17 games
1986-87: 16 games
No Place Like Home
North Texas has certainly enjoyed the friendly
confines of the Super Pit over the last nine
years. Since the 1998-99 season, North Texas
has a record of 90-36 at home which includes
two undefeated seasons.

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).

“Shanice is someone who is full of
energy, vitality, and I think she will do
a great job at North Texas. She is very
knowledgeable about the game one of
the best things about Shanice is she can
invigorate players and the way that she
works with people”
--Willis Wilson, Former University of
Rice Men’s Basketball Head Coach

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (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

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

the 10:06 mark and eventually pushed their first half lead to points
before they went into the half with a 45-40 lead.

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

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (11/24/08) – A stifling defense and
18 points by Brittney James powered the North Texas women’s
basketball team to its second straight victory over Texas A&MCorpus Christi 61-53. 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.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (11/29/08) – Brittney James 3-pointer at the
buzzer fell just short and the North Texas (3-2) women’s basketball
team dropped a two-point game to Charleston Southern 97-95 at
the UTSA Thanksgiving Classic. 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.

DENTON, Texas (12/2/08) – The Houston Cougars 13-0 run to end
the first half proved to be too much for the Mean Green women’s
basketball team to overcome in an 80-66 loss in the home opener
Tuesday night at the Super Pit.
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.
However, the Mean Green (3-3) struggled from the field shooting
only 28 percent, including 21 percent from three point territory
(5-of-23).
North Texas also had 24 turnovers for the game and allowed four
Houston players to score in double figures, including a game-high 23
points from Porsche Landry.
After trailing by as many as 19 points in the second half, the Mean
Green managed to trim the lead to 72-63 with 2:17 remaining in the
contest, but could not draw any closer.

DALLAS, Texas (12/14/08) – Despite Amber Jackson’s sixth
straight double-double the North Texas women’s basketball team
was unable to overcome 31 turnovers as SMU downed the Mean
Green 74-57 at Moody Coliseum. SMU (3-5) turned the North
Texas (4-5) mistakes into 28 points sending the Mean Green to its

successful,” said North Texas coach Shanice Stephens. “We have
a lot of work to do to get better but it starts with taking care of the
basketball”.
SMU used two big runs in the first half to take control of the game.
North Texas took an early 6-2 lead, but SMU responded with a 13-6
run to take a 15-12 lead. The Mustangs closed out the first half with
another big run of 14-2 to take a 37-22 lead into the break.
North Texas got as close as 11 points in the second half but could
never get the SMU lead down to single digits.

double-double. Tricia Lee added 15 points and Brittney James had
13 points.

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. The freshman
exploded for eight straight points on a pair of 3-pointers and cutting
layup to put NT up 24-12 with just under eight minutes to play in the
first.
The Mean Green committed just five turnovers in the first half, but
couldn’t find the handle in the second. The Cajuns turned 14 second
half NT turnovers into 14 points to close the gap in the final minutes.

DENTON, TX (12/20/08) – Despite a career-high 28 points by
Amber Jackson, the North Texas women’s basketball team came up
short in an 84-70 loss to New Orleans on Saturday afternoon at the
Super Pit.
The Privateers (5-5, 1-1 Sun Belt) snapped a two-game losing streak
and won its third game against the Mean Green in the last 11 meetings. North Texas falls to 5-6 and 1-1 in the conference but still leads
the series, 13-8.
Jackson posted a career-high 28 points in the game, surpassing the
23 points she set against UA-Monticello last year. She was 12-for-17
from the field and 4-for- 7 from the free-throw line. The senior also
posted her eighth straight double-double with 10 rebounds.
UNO jumped out to a 16-8 lead and never looked back. North Texas
cut the lead to three points three times in the second half, but the
Privateers always had an answer. New Orleans extended its 37-32
lead at the half to 11 points, 56-45, with 10:46 left in the game.
Jada Frazier led all scorers with 29 points. She was 11-for-14 from
the field and 4-for-4 from behind the arc. Frazier led four New Orleans players in double-figure scoring.
UNO shot 53.6 percent from the field and 76 percent from the freethrow line. The Mean Green hit 26-of-64 shots from the field (40.6
percent) and made 16-of-29 from the free-throw line. NT held the
edge in rebounds, 40-33. Brittney James joined Jackson in double
figures with 14 points.
STILLWATER, Okla. (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.
North Texas cut the Cowgirl lead to 14 points at 42-28 early in the
second half but mistakes doomed the Mean Green. Oklahoma State
forced 29 turnovers and converted those into 34 points. 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.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (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.

DENTON, Texas (1/14/2009) – Four players scored in double-figures, including a career-high 17 points from freshman Mansa El and
the Mean Green snapped a six-game losing streak with a 76-69 win
over Denver Wednesday evening at The Super Pit.
North Texas (6-11, 2-4) went on a 9-0 run after the game was tied
63-63, including four points from Brittney James and a clutch threepointer from Yari Escalera. The Mean Green tied a season-high with
25 offensive rebounds and made 15-of-16 from the free throw line in
the second half to help North Texas get a much-needed victory.
Escalera continued her hot play of late by scoring a game-high 18
points, 14 of which came in the second half. She also nailed 4-of-5
from beyond the arc. After scoring only 25 points in the first half,
North Texas began the second half on a 19-6 run to take the lead
for the first time since the 17:37 mark in the opening stages of the
contest. Escalera and El came out of the locker room blazing to start
second half. Each player scored five consecutive points in the midst
of a 10-0 run, capped off by an Escalera three-point play to give the
Mean Green a 44-40 lead. North Texas struggled shooting in the first
half, connecting on only 27 percent from the field (9-of-33). Denver
was led in the first 20 minutes by Andie Mason, who hurt the Mean
Green by shooting 3-of-4 from beyond the arc for a game-high nine
first half points. After the Pioneers opened up a 25-13 at the 5:42
mark, the Mean Green closed strong by going on a 12-9 run.
Jo Hall also made her return to the court after missing the past
eight games due to a team suspension. The senior from Cedar Park
provided a spark by scoring four points and grabbing three offensive
rebounds.
