With a 1,050 seating capacity, the Connolly Center North Court is one of the smallest gyms in NCAA Division I. But what it lacks in size is made up for in its ability to be a true home-court advantage. With the front row of seats just feet from the sidelines, the Connolly Center North Court can be a truly intimidating place to play for opponents. That home-court advantage has become evident in recent years. Last season, the women’s basketball team went 14-6 at home and won two Women’s Basketball Invitational Postseason Tournament games on their home court. This season, the team will host the Washington Dental Service Thanksgiving Tournament at the Connolly Center, hosting Portland, Boston College, and Sacred Heart on Friday, Nov. 23 and Saturday, Nov. 24.

SHAQUALA WILLIAMS (First Season/Oregon ‘02) Assistant Coach Bonvicini announced the hiring of assistant coach Shaquala “Shaq” Williams starting in the 2012-13 season. At Seattle U, Williams will primarily be in charge of the Redhawks’ skill development of guards and wings, scouting opponents, recruiting, and coordinating the team’s camps.

Page 6 2012-13 Seattle University Women’s Basketball Media Guide 2012-13 SEASON PREVIEW The Seattle University women’s basketball team will play its first season in the Western Athletic Conference and with full Division I status, after competing as an Independent during Division I reclassification the past four years. This season they will have the chance to compete in the WAC tournament and compete for an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. “Well, I think the first year in the WAC, this is our opportunity,” said head coach Joan Bonvicini. “I think the best way to describe, going in, is cautiously optimistic. We know we have a good core group, but there’s always unknowns. The biggest unknown is that we really don’t know these other teams. We know a lot of them come from different conferences, but we also know there’s a lot of good coaches in the league. Once we’re in conference play, we’re going to learn a lot in the first round [of games], a lot about each team and ourselves. But I know that with my having been in a number of different conferences, they’ll be well-prepared. I’m very excited about this opportunity.” Bonvicini will be returning a mixture of returning and new talent, losing key players to graduation, but also adding newcomers that will make immediate contributions to the team’s success. SENIORS With the graduation of top players like Talisa Rhea, who finished averaging 14.1 ppg and led the team with 165 assists in 201112, and Elle Kerfoot, who became just the 11th player in program history to pass the 1,000 career point mark, the Redhawks will now look to this year’s upperclassmen to lead the team. Seniors Maggie McCarthy (Burlingame, Calif.), Daidra Brown (Seattle, Wash.), and Brenda Adhiambo (Mombasa, Kenya), will provide senior leadership for the team this season. Brown led the team with 58 steals in 2011-12 and McCarthy, returning from a knee injury last season, is now 100% recovered and ready to tackle the team’s first season in the WAC. Bonvicini on McCarthy: “Maggie was a roleplayer last year. I think she’s improved her jumper, she’s smart, and she’s going to have an excellent senior year.” Bonvicini on Adhiambo: “Brenda is ready for a breakout year. She came as a junior college transfer last season and had a good year, but I think that [transition] is so much like a player coming from high school as a freshman. It’s learning the system and adjusting to college life in a more rigorous setting, and she’s done well. I always tell her I want a double-double, and I think we’ll see her have a really good season. I’m really excited for her, she’s a great offensive player.” Bonvicini on Brown: “Daidra, as a sophomore, led us in steals and was one of the tops in the country. Last year, she played a lot of minutes, but did it coming off the bench. I think you’ll see her more in a starting role this year and having the ball more in her hands. She’s still quick, but she has improved her jumper tremendously and is one of our best on-ball defenders.” JUNIORS The Redhawks’ top tier junior class, consisting of Kacie Sowell (Ventura, Calif.), Ashley Ward (Irvine, Calif.) and Sylvia Shephard (Alta Loma, Calif.) will prove to be a driving force in the team’s success this season. Sowell averaged a double-double, recording 18 total over the season, and was named the Women’s Basketball Independent Player of the Year in 2011-12. Ward led the team in free-throw shooting percentage (84.9 percent), ranking 26th in NCAA Division I. Shephard received a College Sports Madness Independent Player of the Week award and ranked second on the team with 164 total rebounds. They will each only add to their success from the past two years, and are sure to have very exciting junior seasons. Bonvicini on Sowell: “Kacie is coming off a very, very good sophomore year, but seeing her now in practice, she’s [even] improved. She’s been able to develop more moves in the low post, and has definitely added a nice jumper from both the high post and a little bit further out. More than anything, the bar has been raised [as a program], but she has also raised the bar personally. She expects more from herself, and she’s been named one of our captains. I’m excited about her future and I’m excited about this season for her, because she’s a very hard worker and a great person.” Bonvicini on Ward: “Ashley also has improved. We’re going to see her more at the perimeter. We will see her a little bit at the post, but more at the perimeter. She gives us good size and is smart. She’s versatile, she can drive, she can shoot the three, but she’s really deadly with her midrange jumper. She’s also very good getting to the basket. She shoots a lot of free-throws, she led us in free-throw percentage [last year]. I think for both Kacie and Ashley, you’ll see their numbers go up. Not just that they’re scoring more, but that their percentages go up.” Bonvicini on Shephard: “Sylvia, more than anyone, I think, is going to show the biggest improvement. I knew when we recruited her, she had really good numbers, but I really think this year is going to be the year that people are going to see Sylvia as an excellent jumpshooter, coming off the dribble or screen. The thing that we’ve really gotten her to do is get to the basket, and be a really good offensive rebounder. She’s physical, she’s strong, and still very quick. I’m excited for her and for us.” SOPHOMORES This year’s sophomore class, Renee Dillard-Brown (Seattle, Wash.) and Makenna Clark (Auburn, Wash.) played a combined 32 games in 2011-12, but, with work they’ve put in during the offseason, will look to increase their influence and clock more minutes for the Redhawks in 2012-13. Bonvicini on Clark: “Makenna is a very good player, is smart, and will come off the bench, but I think we’ll see her a lot more in action this year. She’s a good three-point shooter and has excellent leadership skills.” Bonvicini on Dillard-Brown: “Renee has improved tremendously. 2012-13 Seattle University Women’s Basketball Media Guide Page 7 2012 SEASON PREVIEW She’s smart, is in better shape and condition, and is much more physical. Her minutes will be up, she’s a better rebounder, and is one of our best leaders.” FRESHMEN Three of this year’s five freshman, including redshirt freshman Kim Flournoy (San Diego, Calif.) hail from California. True freshmen Shelby Dougherty (Fullerton, Calif.) and Catherine Perez (Palo Alto, Calif.) also hail from the Golden State, while Kristin Stoffel (Mill Creek, Wash.) and Taelor Ross (Vancouver, Wash.) are from the state of Washington. These student-athletes have already shown potential and improvement in practice and will make an immediate impact for the Redhawks this season. Bonvicini on Flournoy: “Kim is coming off a knee injury, and is now 100%, but is really getting used to what it means to play at this level. She has good size and quickness, and is someone who will continue to improve as she really begins to trust her knee.” Bonvicini on Dougherty: “Shelby will be a point guard, and is a smart, excellent assist player and good shooter. She’ll be coming off the bench in a complimentary role.” Bonvicini on Stoffel: “Kristin is smart. She is a good perimeter shooter, can hit the three-pointer, and understands basketball; she’s been well-coached.” Bonvicini on Perez: “Cat can hit the three-point shot and is making the adjustment to college basketball. She’s someone who, I think, will be improving as the season goes on.” Bonvicini on Ross: “Taelor has improved tremendously. I think she’ll definitely get time, probably in spots, but she’s going to be a force. [She’s a] great rebounder, and is learning the game of basketball and tempo, but she’s going to be a good player.” SCHEDULE Seattle U women’s basketball will open up 2012-13 with eight of their first nine games played on their home court, including exhibition matches. The Redhawks begin the season with exhibition contests versus Simon Fraser (Nov. 1) and Western Washington (Nov. 3) before opening up the regular season versus Pacific (Nov. 9). “Both of our exhibitions are versus smart, well-coached teams. It’s a really good way for us to measure and see where we are. Pacific is a team we lost to in OT [last season] and they ended up having a great year. They went to the NIT and beat Arizona State in the first round, and are now favored to win the Big West [this year]. They have a good team, so that’s going to be a challenge.” Nov. 14 will be a special day, as Bonvicini coaches her 1000th career game versus cross-town rival Washington at KeyArena. Page 8 “Washington had a very good year, much better than a lot of people thought. They’re returning the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and are bringing back Krista Kingma, a very good guard who was injured last year. They’re going to have great perimeter scoring, so we just know it’s going to be a good game.” The Redhawks will also host preseason games versus UC Irvine (Dec. 1) and Portland State (Dec. 9) as well as the Washington Dental Service Thanksgiving Tournament (Nov. 23-24) versus Portland, Boston College, and Sacred Heart. “Portland is well-coached, solid, and smart. Boston College has a new coaching staff from the ACC, and they’re very athletic and smart. Sacred Heart is a team similar to us, a great midmajor, and they won 25 games last season.” Seattle U will play only three non-conference games on the road, at Colorado State (Nov. 17), Pepperdine (Dec. 14), and BYU (Dec. 20). “Colorado State is going to be our first road challenge. BYU is going to be a great game, as they won the West Coast Conference tournament and went to the NCAA’s last season. They’re returning their size and their point guard, so it’s going to be a tough challenge for us.” On Dec. 29, the Redhawks will travel to nearby Idaho for their first ever WAC contest, and will play their first WAC home games versus Utah State (Jan. 3) and San Jose State (Jan. 5) right after the new year. Conference play will lead up to the WAC Championships on March 12-16 in Las Vegas, Nev., where all 10 teams will compete. Bonvicini on her 1000th career game on Nov. 14 vs. UW: “One thousand games is crazy when you think about it, but I feel as energized and as excited as when I first started. I’ve had some of the best players to ever play the game, but this experience here at Seattle U has been probably my most rewarding.

Despite the loss, this season and this team will be remembered as one of the greatest teams in Seattle U women’s basketball history. Among their vast accomplishments, the team notched the first 20-win season as an NCAA Division I program. They also reached their first NCAA Division I postseason, the first postseason appearance for any Seattle U team since the school began the NCAA Division I reclassification process during the 2008-09 school year. The Redhawks more than doubled, and nearly tripled, their win total from one season ago, finishing 20-12 after finishing 8-22 during the 2010-11 season. They finished 14-6 on their home court, winning 12 of their last 15 home contests. Sophomore Kacie Sowell was named to the WBI All-Tournament Team and was also named Independent Women’s Basketball Player of the Year. Coach Joan Bonvicini was named Independent Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. College Sports Madness named a Seattle U player the Independent Player of the Week ten times over the season (Sowell six times, senior Talisa Rhea three times, and sophomore Sylvia Shephard once). Page 19 Sowell recorded 18 double-doubles over the season and finished as the team’s leading scorer. She averaged a double-double for the season, averaging 14.3 ppg and 10.2 rpg. Rhea finished as the team’s second leading scorer, averaging 14.1 ppg and 4.5 rpg. Rhea also led the team with 165 assists. Sophomore Ashley Ward also finished the season averaging in double figures, averaging 10.3 ppg and 3.5 rpg. Nationally, Sowell tied for ninth in NCAA Division I in double-doubles (18), finished fifth in the nation in field-goal percentage (56.6 percent), Ward finished 26th in NCAA Division I free-throw percentage (84.9 percent), and Rhea finished 26th in the country in assists per game (5.2). Senior Elle Kerfoot also became Seattle U’s all-time leader in made three-pointers (finishing with 193) and became the 11th player in program history to pass the 1,000 career point mark (finished with 1,077 total career points).

The women’s basketball team was recognized for its performance in the classroom during the 2009-10 academic year, being named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Top 25 Honor Roll. This honor placed the Redhawks at No. 20 among all NCAA DI women’s basketball programs, with a cumulative 3.341 GPA that year. In June 2012, Talisa Rhea graduated magna cum laude with a degree in sport and exercise science, Carley Butcher graduated cum laude with a degree in strategic communications, and Amani Butler and Elle Kerfoot also received degrees in strategic communications. Team managers Monica Nevi and Bianca Williams received degrees in sport and exercise science. 2012 graduating seniors from the Seattle U women’s basketball team: Talisa Rhea, Monica Nevi, Carley Butcher, Elle Kerfoot, and Jamie Johnson “Our team competes both on the court and in the classroom to the best of their ability,” said head coach Joan Bonvicini. “Our goal is to be both a top 25 team on the court and in the classroom, and we are on our way to achieving both.” The Class of 2012: Graduating student-athletes posing on the steps near Key Arena before graduation. Page 24 2012-13 Seattle University Women’s Basketball Media Guide THE ROAD TO DIVISION ONE On May 10, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Seattle University approved the recommendation of the Athletic Alignment Task Force to begin the process of reclassifying to NCAA Division I status. With the 2011-12 school year as the final year of the reclassification process, Seattle U officially finished the reclassification process and earned full NCAA Division I status at the beginning of the 2012-13 school year. In 2011-12, the Redhawks created some memorable moments in their final year of NCAA Division I reclassification. The women’s basketball team reached the postseason in the Women’s Basketball Invitational and notched the first Division I postseason wins for the program since reclassifying back to Division I. The team also earned a 20-win season, the first in Coach Bonvicini’s tenure at Seattle U, and the start of a great legacy of Seattle U women’s basketball. Women’s soccer head coach Julie Woodward, the dean of coaches and winningest women’s soccer coahc at Seattle U, recorded her 200th career win as the team defeated San Diego State University, 3-1, on Sept. 18, 2011. Women’s golfer Caitlin McCleary became the first Seattle U golfer to win a tournament since 1980, completing the year with three total tournament wins and a runner-up finish at the WCC championships. Seattle U also added their 20th sport at the end of 2012, elevating women’s crew to varsity status and hiring former Olympian Portia McGee as head coach of the new program. These highlights among many others made 2011-12 a year to remember. As Seattle U reached full NCAA Division I status and entered the Western Athletic Conference in 2012-13, it is certainly an incREDible time to be a Redhawk. 2012-13 Seattle University Women’s Basketball Media Guide Page 25 FR.

WILLIAM HOGAN Director of Athletics Entering his seventh year as the Director of Athletics at Seattle University, William (Bill) Hogan has already made a significant impact not only on the athletics program, but within the university as a whole. Thanks to his leadership, the department has stabilized and grown over the past six years, and he’s overseen some of the most successful years in school history, both athletically and academically. Most importantly, he spearheaded the move by the University to return to Division I status, including finding a conference home for all of Seattle U’s sports. Starting July 1, 2012, 17 of the school’s 20 sports will compete as part of the Western Athletic Conference, while men’s soccer and men’s swimming will continue to participate in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, and women’s rowing will compete as an independent, while actively looking for a conference home. In 2011-12, Seattle U athletics witnessed some of the greatest moments in recent history, from women’s basketball earning their first Division I postseason wins and finishing with a 20-win season, to track-and-field’s Erik Barkhaus winning his first conference title, the 10,000m men’s title at the Great West Conference Outdoor Championships. Women’s soccer head coach Julie Woodward earned her 200th career win, and the team took down then-No. 8 Portland, the highest ranked victory for a Seattle U team since reclassifying back to Division I. Women’s golfer Caitlin McCleary also won three tournament championships and men’s golf won the Lamkin Grip Cal Poly Challenge. Overall, it was a successful final year of Division I reclassification for Seattle U, before they join the Western Athletic Conference and are fully certified with Division I status. The 2010-11 season got off to a great start, as the women’s soccer and women’s volleyball teams posted winning records. The men’s basketball team earned its second straight victory over Oregon State, plus went on the road and picked up a victory at ACC school Virginia. The men’s swim team earned four individual titles at the MPSF Championships, while the track and field squad collected two indoor titles and one outdoor championship within the Great West Conference. The baseball team doubled its win total from the previous season, knocking off nationally-ranked Oregon State, crosstown rival Washington, and Super Regional participant Dallas Baptist, among others. The 2009-10 campaign saw the full-time return of Seattle U basketball to KeyArena, as the men’s basketball team used a 10-3 home record to propel itself to a 17-14 record, the first time a school playing a full Division I schedule in its first year as a Division I counter would post a winning record. He helped welcome Elgin Baylor back to Seattle as the court was named in the legend’s honor before the home opener against Fresno State. Men’s soccer participated in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, while softball was welcomed into the Pacific Coast Softball Conference. The men’s and women’s swim teams enjoyed their best-ever results at the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference Championships. Finally, the baseball program played its first season of intercollegiate ball in 24 years, picking up a victory over Creighton at historic Rosenblatt Stadium as well as wins at Oregon and at Portland. In 2008-09, the Seattle University athletic department began the transition process with no fear. The men’s basketball team posted its best record in 45 years, the women’s basketball team won 20 games for the first time in 16 seasons, and the men’s and women’s soccer teams also posted winning records against Division I opponents. Seattle U men’s hoops returned to the Seattle Center for the first time in 29 years, as almost 5,000 people came out on New Year’s Day to watch the Redhawks defeat Loyola Marymount. Five Seattle U teams (men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, volleyball, softball) won in-season tournaments featuring Division I schools, and Hogan oversaw the introduction of four new sports - men’s and women’s golf and men’s and women’s tennis. During the 2007-08 academic year, Hogan watched on as both the women’s and men’s soccer, and softball teams went on to compete in the NCAA Tournament. The softball team set a new school record for wins (38) and went on to win the GNAC championship. Men’s swimming finished with their best showing at the Division II level with an eighth place finish, and crowned an individual National Champion (Jakob Jiracek) in the 200m Breaststroke. Seattle University placed 8 different athletes on the first team All-Academic All-District teams, and Ashley Porter and Chris Coley were the first SU student-athletes to be named All-Academic All-Americans for two consecutive years. In his first year, Hogan witnessed the women’s soccer, men’s soccer, and men’s basketball teams winning GNAC titles and advancing to their respective NCAA Tournaments. The men’s soccer team won the Far West Region and advanced to the Elite Eight, while the men’s basketball squad won its first round game. The softball and men’s swimming teams also reached their best postseason result, with the softball team advancing to the West Regional title game and the men’s swim team finishing ninth at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Academically, the department won the GNAC Academic All-Sports title, with two SU student-athletes, Ana Gutierrez and Adam Jensen, earning GNAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors. Gutierrez and Jensen were two of five SU student-athletes to receive Academic All-America recognition. Hogan led the University of San Francisco athletics department from 1991 to 2006.
