The 2000-01 Lady Cougars
Season Highlights
• The Lady Cougars reached double digits in overall wins for the first time
since the 1995-96 season, when they finished 12-16. Their 19 total wins are
the most since posting a 22-8 record during the 1991-92 campaign.
• Houston’s turnaround this season was cited as one of the nine best among
Division I colleges in the country.
• Houston earned a bid to this year’s WNIT Tournament and makes its first trip
to the post-season since the NCAA Tournament in 1992.
• Houston received a No. 3 seed at this year’s Conference USA Tournament,
the highest in the annual tournament in school history. They also earned a
first-round bye in the conference tournament for the first time in school history.
• Houston snapped its 0-4 showing at the annual C-USA Tournament dating
back to the 1996-97 season in defeating Memphis by a final of 70-64 in their
first game on March 3. With the win the Lady Cougars advanced to the semifinal round and lost to eventual C-USA Champion, Tulane, 78-74.
• Freshman standout Chandi Jones, though missing the final nine games of
the season after suffering a torn ACL on Jan. 28, remains the nation’s leading
freshman scorer in averaging 21.5 points per game, and she has shattered
every C-USA freshman scoring record. Jones was named a WBJ All-Freshman All American second team, C-USA Freshman of the Year, to the First
Team All-Conference and C-USA All-Freshman Team. She is the first Lady
Cougar to be named to a first team all conference squad since Houston has
been a member of C-USA.
• Senior Monet Sykes, the Lady Cougars’ leading rebounder throughout the
season, was named to the Second Team All-Conference.
• The Lady Cougars closed out the season with a 10-2 record on home court
at Hofheinz Pavilion, their best record at home since posting a 13-1 record
during the 1991-92 season. Three of their ten home victories were by 20
points or more.
• Houston’s six-game winning streak from from Jan. 7-Feb. 2—which also
included an unprecedented six consecutive C-USA wins—was their longest
winning streak since posting six straight victories from Jan. 25-Feb. 11, 1995.
• Houston’s 71-52 win over Louisiana Tech, ranked No. 9 at the time, on Dec.
3 marked only the fifth time in C-USA history that a C-USA team defeated a
top ten non-conference opponent. Their 19-point victory was the largest margin of victory over a Top 100 team in the history of C-USA.
• Houston ended the regular season with four players averaging double
figures per game: seniors Monet Sykes (11.8), Jessica Shanklin (11.2),
ShaRonda Lasseter (10.3) and freshman Chandi Jones (21.5).

defeating Northern Illinois in the first round before suffering
back-to-back losses to Indiana and Kansas to finish in
fourth place . . . The Lady Cougars have posted a 0-2
showing in their two appearances in the NCAA

final basket was a key breakaway with 1:48 left that
sparked a 6-0 run after the Lady Cougars had pulled to
within 68-67 . . . After Monet Sykes' 3-pointer pulled the

win over UAB on Jan. 28 . . . She suffered the injury with about 30 seconds remaining in the first half when she fell
and twisted her knee after being fouled while attempting to make a jump shot . . . An MRI revealed the tear of the
ACL, and surgery to repair the tear was successfully performed by Dr. Walter Lowe, the University’s head team
physician, on Wednesday, February 14 . . . At the time of her injury, Jones, an All American/All Conference and CUSA Freshman of the Year candidate, was the nation’s leading freshman scorer, 12th overall in the country,

HEAD COACH
JOE CURL
Since his hiring as the fifth women’s head
coach in school history on April 8, 1998, the
Lady Cougar program has undergone a host
of changes. Now in his third year, things
are starting to fall into place and he credits
his entire staff for the vast improvements.
“I’m not sure that I’ve accomplished anything, but as a staff, a team and as a program, we have really made tremendous
progress on all fronts,” said Curl. “From an
academic standpoint, which is a top priority of this team, the
overall direction of the program is up and in a very steady climb.
Perhaps the accomplishment of which Curl is most proud
since accepting the UH position has been the reaction to his
recruiting process. When he took over the program three years
ago, he wasn’t sure what he had inherited or what to expect.
This year marks the first where the team is comprised of his
recruits, including local high school standout and Team USA
member Chandi Jones to sophomore transfer Courtney
Pastner.
“It [the recruiting process] has really shaped up, and that
was such a tough job because of all the hurdles we were forced
to overcome,” Curl explained. “And now that we have either
jumped over those hurdles or gone around them, I think we
are finally starting to lay down the foundation for the future.”
Entering this season, he has compiled a 172-143 (.546)
record in ten seasons as a women’s head coach at the collegiate level. He joined the Lady Cougars after two years as the
men’s coach at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, where school
administrators pleaded with him to work the same magic on a
struggling men’s program as he had for the Blinn women. After a slow first year, Curl led the Blinn men to the play-offs in
1998.
As the women’s head coach at Blinn from 1994-1996, Curl
led four players to All-Conference honors and three earned
All-Region selections while turning a .500 program into a 20game winning season. Prior to that, in 1993-94, he led the
Stephen F. Austin women’s team to the Southland Conference
title and a bid in the NCAA tournament while picking up
Southland Conference Coach of the Year honors along the
way.
Before joining the staff at SFA, he coached the women’s
basketball team at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas, that won a Texas Eastern Conference Championship. At Trinity Valley, he coached five junior college All-Americans, 10 All-Region XIV players and 14 All-Conference selections. The Lady Cardinals were ranked No. 1 in the nation
during the 1992-93 season, and Curl was twice named Conference Coach of the Year.
Curl is a man that lets his actions speak louder than any
words. He puts time and much effort into everything he sets
out to accomplish. “I’m a 100-percent guy,” says Curl. “I don’t
do anything half-way and I don’t do anything eighty percent. If
I set out to do anything, I am going to give it 100 percent and
that is the bottom line.”
It is these same standards that have made his 25-year
marriage to wife Lesa the bond that it is. The couple have two
daughters, Angela and Jennifer. Angela (20) begins her third
season as a member of the Lady Cougar team while Jennifer
(17) will be a senior at Clear Lake High School where she also
plays basketball.
Staff gets a facelift in 2000-01
This off-season Curl rebuilt his staff and since they have been
working to improve the women’s program in establishing it as
one of the premier programs in the conference as well as the
country . . . Curl added new assistant coaches DeJuena
Carter-Chizer and Todd Buchanan . . . Carter-Chizer played
for the Lady Cougars from 1983-86, where she was named to
the 1986-87 First Team All-Southwest Conference and led the
Lady Cougars in scoring with 525 points that season . . . Also
added to the staff was Lesli Vollrath, who played for Curl at
Blinn College, as the Coordinator of Basketball Operations.
defense for the Lady Cougars and a big reason for their turnaround this season.
Double-Double Play
The Lady Cougars have had four players record double-doubles this season . . . Senior
Monet Sykes amassed a team-leading seven--the last coming on March 4 in Houston’s
loss to Tulane in the C-USA Semifinal (19 points, 10 rebounds), while fellow senior
ShaRonda Lasseter had three and freshman standout Chandi Jones and senior Jessica
Shanklin each recorded one . . . Sykes recorded her sixth against DePaul on Feb. 18
with a career-high 14 rebounds and 23 points; her fifth came at Charlotte on Feb. 2, as
she poured in 14 points and pulled down 10 boards and her fourth was at Cincinnati on
January 5 with 10 points and 12 rebounds . . . Lasseter and Sykes each recorded their
third of the season in Houston’s win over Middle Tennessee on December 30: Lasseter
scored 10 points and pulled down a season-high 12 rebounds and Sykes scored a season-high 18 points and 11 boards . . . Lasseter’s other two double-doubles came against
Detroit Mercy on December 19 (13 pts/12 rbs) and December 1 vs Indiana (21 pts/11
rbs) . . . Sykes’ previous two double-doubles came on December 18 vs Eastern Washington (17 ppts/10 rbs) and at UT-San Antonio on November 29 (16 pts/10 rbs) . . .
Jones’ sole double-double came against Eastern Washington on December 18 (20 pts/
13 rbs) . . . Shanklin recorded the first of her season on March 3 in the win over Memphis
with 11 rebounds and 10 assists . . . The Lady Cougars have had two players record
double-doubles in the same game two times this season (Dec. 30 vs Middle Tennessee
and Dec. 18 vs Eastern Washington).
Shanklin’s record night
The story of the Lady Cougars’ December 19 win over Detroit Mercy was senior guard
Jessica Shanklin, who enjoyed the best performance of her collegiate career . . . She
scored a career-high 27 points, including 20 in the first half, on a career-high seven
three-point field goals . . . She nailed six three-pointers in the first half alone and later
tied Jana Crosby for the second-most three-pointers made in a single game by a Lady
Cougar when she hit her seventh of the game in the second half with 7:45 left . . .
Shanklin scored a previous career-high 19 points and registered a then-career high five
three-point baskets last season against Southern Miss on February 12 . . . Crosby made
seven three-point field goals in a game twice, against Arkansas and TCU during the
1989-90 campaign.
One for the books
The Lady Cougars’ 19-point upset win over Louisiana Tech on December 3 marked only
the fifth time in Conference USA history--and the first time since February, 1997--that a
C-USA team defeated a top ten non-conference opponent . . . Houston's 19-point win
was the largest margin of victory over a top 10 team in the history of C-USA . . . With the
win, Houston became the fifth different C-USA school to knock off a Top 10 opponent,
joining Charlotte, DePaul, Louisville and Southern Miss.
Rack ‘em up!
Freshman Chandi Jones’ 32 points against Louisiana Tech on December 3 is the most
points scored in a single game by a Lady Cougar since Jennifer Jones scored 36 against
Southern Miss on February 16, 1998 . . . The elder Jones’ 36 points remains ranked
tenth on Houston’s all-time list for most points scored in a single game.
In the record books
The Lady Cougars’ 104-45 win over McNeese State in the season-opener on November
17--a 59-point margin of victory--ranks eighth all-time in Cougar history . . . The 104
points scored by the Lady Cougars were just 14 points shy of breaking the all-time
school record of 117 points scored against Hawai’i Pacific on December 26, 1984.
Jones claims C-USA Player of the Week honors
for December 4
Houston freshman Chandi Jones earned Conference USA Player of the Week honors
for the week ending December 3 following an outstanding four games in which led the
Lady Cougars in scoring en route to a 3-1 record during the week . . . The standout

December 3 and 29 points on December 1 against Indiana . . . Jones shot over 50
