When Southern Utah University’s 5,300-

seat Centrum was completed in 1985, it was

hoped the state-of-the art facility would push

the Thunderbirds to the highest levels of colle-

giate sports.

Clearly, those hopes are being fulfilled.

During the 26 seasons the Thunderbirds have

played in the building it has been an inhos-

pitable venue for visiting teams. The Thunder-

birds have won 242 of 316 games in the

building, a winning percentage of 76.6.

The Centrum was a key factor in SUU’s

jump to the NCAA Division I ranks in 1988 and

played a large role in Southern Utah’s bid to join

the Summit League, and its more recent move to

the Big Sky. Since opening in November of 1985,

the Centrum has attracted thousands of people

to Cedar City for Thunderbird sports, concerts

and numerous other athletic, academic and per-

forming arts events.

The Utah Jazz have twice called the Cen-

trum home for fall training camp and each year

the Centrum is the centerpiece venue for the

Utah Summer Games.

The facility – which covers six acres and

cost just over $8 million to build – is part of the

Sharwan Smith Center, which houses the SUU

Bookstore, Grand Ballroom, food services, and

all of the student services offices. The con-

course of the Centrum houses studios for SUTV

and Power 91 – SUU’s television and radio sta-

tions – the basketball offices, academic offices

and numerous classrooms and art studios.

The 2011-12 season holds promise for Southern Utah’s

men’s basketball team. With seven lettermen returning from

last year’s squad, including three starters, as well as another

player who was a major contributor before an LDS church mis-

sion, Coach Roger Reid’s team this year is more experienced

and seasoned than any in his four previous years.

The three starters: senior center Matt Massey, senior point

guard Ray Jones, Jr. and junior forward Jackson Stevenett, ac-

counted for nearly half of the team’s points and a third of its re-

bounds last year, and just two of the team’s top contributors do

not return this season, wing Ryan Brimley, who was lost to

graduation, and forward Kyle Davis, who departed on an LDS

church mission.

Massey was tied as the team’s second-leading scorer last

season with an average of 9.4 points per game and was third on

the squad with 3.3 rebounds per game. Jones, who averaged 9.2

ppg – fourth on the squad – was the team’s assists leader, with

3.97 per game, and he pulled down 3.1 rebounds per game as

well. Stevenett led the team in scoring with 10.1 ppg, was sec-

ond in rebounds with 3.7, and was tied for third on the team –

along with Massey – with a .549 shooting percentage.

The returning lettermen include senior forward Ramell Tay-

lor, senior guard Brian Cameron, junior guard Damon Heuir

and junior center/forward Tyson Koehler.

Also back this season is sophomore center/forward Jaren

Jeffery, who earned a letter as a true freshman in 2008-09,

prior to serving an LDS church mission.

In addition to those players, freshman center Cal Hanks,

who spent last season as a redshirt, returns to the squad this

season

The Thunderbirds have also added a handful of newcomers,

including JC transfers Julian Scott, Wade Collie and Jordan John-

son, and freshmen Chris Nsenki, Courtney Austin, Matt Gardner

and John Renfro. Walk-ons Austin and Renfro are slated to red-

shirt in 2011-12.

“As a team and coaching staff we’re really excited about the

upcoming season,” Coach Reid said. “We’ve got a group of guys

who have been in the program now three and four years, so we

have continuity, we have good chemistry, and we’re excited to

have three starters coming back this season.

“The guys we have coming back know what we want, they

know what’s expected, they understand the price they have to

pay conditioning and in the weight room, and the new players

have picked up on that,” Coach Reid went on to say. “All that, to

me, helps us to have great team chemistry and unity, and those

things add up to wins.

“I think this is the best continuity we’ve had in the pro-

gram since we’ve been here,” he added. “We’ve got Matt

Massey who has been in the program four years, Jackson

Stevenett and Damon Heuir who have been here three and

other guys who have been here a couple of years. We’ve got

guys who know the system, who have played in the league, who

know what it takes to win at this level and what it’s like to go

on the road in a tough conference and win games.”

The schedule is one thing that Coach Reid mentioned right

away, as the Thunderbirds have some stern early road tests and

are scheduled to play six of their first eight Summit League

games on the road, including the first four.

“I like our schedule,” he said. “We’re playing some good

teams but we’ve always played a great schedule. We have San

Diego State that was the No. 6 team in the country last year, we

play at Utah State which is the defending WAC champion and

always a power, and we play at Weber State, who has been

picked to win the Big Sky, a conference we’re excited about

joining next season. Plus, our league is strong again, and if we

can get off to a strong start we will get benefits down the

stretch.

“This will be the third straight season we’ve started with a

road-heavy conference schedule,” he pointed out. “The last two

years we’ve played five of our first seven [league] games on the

road and this year it will be six of our first eight. That makes it

difficult to get a fast start in the league, but the other side of

that is we do get to finish with seven of our last nine [league

games] at home.”

Last year the team was able to capitalize on the favorable

home schedule going down the stretch, winning five of the last

eight. During that stretch the Thunderbirds swept the

IUPUI/Western Illinois road trip, with a 2-point loss to Oral

Roberts, a 3-point setback against UMKC and a loss to regular-

season and tournament champ Oakland in the mix.

“We were playing good basketball down the stretch, win-

ning five of the last eight with two wins on the road and those

two close losses,” Reid observed. “The way we were playing at

the end of the season last year gives me a lot of optimism head-

ing into this season, especially considering who is coming back.

“With Ray, Matt and Jackson we have a solid foundation of

starters who give us leadership, experience and ability,” the

coach noted. “Ramell, Damon and Tyson all have starting expe-

rience as well, Brian is experienced, and Jaren Jeffery also

knows what its like and once he gets back into shape after his

mission he’s going to help us as well.

“Once our newcomers learn what it takes to compete at

this level – and there’s an adjustment period for everyone – we

should continue to improve throughout the season,” he con-

cluded.

When making a position-by-position analysis of the squad

Reid began with the guards, point guard in particular, where

Jones returns after starting all 30 games last year and Nsenki is

poised to provide depth.

“Ray had a great year last year even thought he was com-

ing out of junior college,” Reid noted. “It’s not easy being a

point guard coming out of a JC program playing who we were

playing, but what he has gone through has made him more con-

fident and a better player. He spent the summer here working

out and lifting weights and he’s improved his game. We haven’t

had a point guard since we’ve been here with his experience

and versatility and he’s one of the reasons for our optimism.”

Scheduled to play behind Jones and learn is true freshman

Chris Nsenki, who was one of the top prep players in Missouri

last season. He was a first-team all-state selection and a finalist

for the DiRenna Award, Kansas City’s MVP, after averaging 21.4

points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season when he led

Park Hill High School to a conference championship.

“Chris is a talented freshman who has great credentials

coming out of high school,” Reid pointed out. “He’ll learn a lot

playing behind Ray as our backup point guard, and he will be

capable when Ray needs a blow or if he gets into foul trouble. I

really like his future, he’s a good ball handler, has great floor vi-

sion and he’s working to become a better shooter.”

Heuir is a player who has point guard experience, but is

also one the coaches would rather use on the wing to take ad-

vantage of his shooting ability. He averaged just 3.0 points per

game last season but he showed flashes of brilliance at times,

with 18 point outbursts at UC Davis and at home against Cal

State Bakersfield.

“Damon is more of a wing for us, but he could play point

guard if we need him to,” Reid said. “He had a few starts at the

point his freshman season and he played behind Ray there last

year, but we see him as a wing. He’s in his third year in the pro-

gram and his confidence has grown each year. He’s shown con-

fidence in his abilities and he has the potential to be an outside

scoring threat. We have confidence in him as a perimeter

shooter, but he’s also very athletic and his play on the defensive

end has improved.”

Stevenett began his SUU career as an undersized four-man,

but he’s worked on his shot and is now considered to be a wing.

He missed the first eight games last season because of off-the-

court issues, but once he joined the team he became one of the

Thunderbirds’ most potent scoring threats, averaging a team-

high 10.1 points per game overall and 11.1 ppg in Summit

League match-ups. He was also the team’s second-leading re-

bounder, with 4.4 in league and 3.7 in all games.

“Jackson is a wing who can also play the four,” Reid noted.

“He’s worked hard and is just an all-around solid basketball

player. Considering his size he has an uncanny ability to score

inside against bigger people, he’s crafty, but he’s also a threat

for 18-to-20 feet. He’s improved his outside game tremen-

dously in the past two years, and he has really improved defen-

sively as well. He’s a leader on the floor and also an outstanding

rebounder, especially for his size.”

Providing depth at the wing positions will be Cameron and

Collie and Johnson, while Gardner will learn and look for his

opportunities. Cameron appeared in 15 games as a reserve last

year after spending the 2008-09 season with a medical red-

shirt. A highly recruited prep out of Las Vegas who spent a year

at Air Force Prep, Collie joins the Thunderbirds after a season

at Wallace State, where he earned second-team all-Alabama CC

honors after averaging 12.4 points, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals

last year. Johnson is a defensive specialist who averaged 9.9

points and 4.4 rebounds on Eastern Wyoming’s NJCAA tourna-

ment team last year, while Gardner joins the team after return-

ing from an LDS church mission following a successful high

school career at Utah’s Spanish Fork High.

“Brian Cameron is very athletic, an outstanding jumper and

one of the better perimeter defenders on our team,” Reid said.

“He’s probably the most athletic player we have, and when he

gets confidence, once he is consistently making good decisions

he will become more of a contributor for us.

“Wade is another very athletic player who comes to us from

the junior college ranks,” Reid pointed out. “His only real limita-

tion is how quickly he picks up the system. He has good offen-

sive skills around the basket and on the perimeter, but he is

also an outstanding defender, with quick feet and good in-

stincts. He’ll definitely help us on the wing as the season goes

along.

“Jordan Johnson is another JC player we think will help us,”

Reid noted. “He brings tremendous energy, particularly on the

defensive end. He will give us quality minutes because of his en-

ergy and work ethic, he’ll help us.

“Matt is one of our better perimeter shooters but he’s solid

in all aspects of the game,” Reid went on to say. “His dad was a

high school coach, so he’s been around the game his whole life.

As he gets into shape and learns he’ll earn playing time.”

Up front the Thunderbirds have a handful of versatile play-

ers. Massey can play either the four or the five, as can Koehler,

Jeffery and Scott. Hanks is strictly a post player, while Taylor is

a four with the shooting range of a wing.

Massey – who has already graduated and is working on his

MBA this year – played very well early in the season last year,

2011-12 Southern Utah Outlook

earning all-tournament honors at the Great Alaska Shootout. He finished the season tied

for second on the team in scoring with a 9.4 ppg average and he started all but one game.

He can score inside but he can also shoot with range out to the 3-point line.

“Matt has improved every season he’s been with us,” Reid said. “His confidence has

grown as he’s gone through the battles in the arena. He’s got good post skills but he also

has the ability to shoot from the perimeter. He’s an outstanding shooter for an inside

player. He’s also worked hard to improve his post defense. Matt is one of our captains

(along with Jones and Taylor), he’s a leader on the team and as long as he can stay healthy

he will be a solid player for us.”

Koehler started five games in the post last year but was also a contributor off the

bench. He wound up averaging 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in just 13.7 minutes per game.

He’s another player who can play both with his back to the basket or facing the basket.

“Tyson is a lot like Matt [Massey],” Reid points out. “He’s a good shooter for a big guy, a

pretty consistent outside shooter, but he can post-up and score in side as well. He has good

size and strength but he has to improve his stamina and defense. When he does he’ll be

able to give us a bigger contribution.”

Jeffery, who is more of a true post, walked on to the team in 2008 and wound up earn-

ing a scholarship after appearing in 21 games, mostly down the stretch, and giving the

Thunderbirds a reliable second option in the post. One of his most notable performances

came in the Summit League tournament when he had seven rebounds in the T-Birds’ quar-

terfinal win over IUPUI. He returned from an LDS church mission this past summer, how-

ever, and is still working to get into basketball shape.

“Jaren is a player you love to coach,” Reid said. “He came to us as a walk-on as a fresh-

man but with hard work and dedication, by the end of the year he was playing major min-

utes for us. On the basis of his work ethic we wound up offering him a scholarship and we

are very happy he’s back from his mission. How quickly he gets back into shave will deter-

mine how much he plays, but he’s an excellent defensive player and he has some offensive

skills in the post as well.”

Scott, another JC transfer, earned all-Bay Valley Conference honors last year at Yuba

College, where he averaged 12.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game on a 25-6 squad. An-

other strong, physical player, he can play both the four and the five.

“Julian has great strength but he has to learn how to use his physical tools inside at

this level,” Reid pointed out. “He has some work to do learning how to transition from of-

fense to defense, but he is very good in transition the other way. Offensively he’s talented,

he has post skills and he can shoot the jump shot out to about 15 feet. He’s another player

who will play more and more as he learns the system.”

Hanks spent last season as a redshirt following a successful high school career playing

for former T-Bird Jim Crosbie at Utah’s Mountain Crest HS. An all-state selection his senior

season when he helped MCHS to an appearance in the state championship game, the

coaches see him as a player with a world of potential if he has the patience to develop it.

“Cal is a young man with an excellent upside,” Reid noted. “He has good size, he’s a

hard worker with a great work ethic, and he got good experience as a redshirt last year. He

will help us as he matures, he’s strong inside, but he needs to continue to work. He needs

to be patient and let the game come to him, if he does he can be a good college basketball

player.”

Taylor is a player who the coaches believe can be a difference maker. One of the team’s

top producers early in the season last year, his performance dropped off for a time but he

finished the season strong once he learned the system and the coaches devised ways to uti-

lize his talents. He can shoot, score and play defense, and will be a key to the team’s suc-

cess.

“Ramell will be a big key to us having a good year,” Reid said. “He had his ups and

downs last year making the adjustment from junior college to Division I, but he has

tremendous potential. He probably has the most athletic ability on the team, he is an explo-

sives jumper off two feet, a good rebounder and he’s quick to the basket. Ramell also has a

nice shot, and with his athletic ability he can shoot over you or take you to the basket, go

around you and score. He also runs like a deer and changes ends of the court well, he’s a

very good player in transition.”

With so much versatility and depth on the squad this year, the coaches and players are

confident the Thunderbirds will improve on last year’s finish and surprise many observers.

“We have a team that understands what we want,” Reid pointed out. “We have good

chemistry, we have good student-athletes, we have talent at every position and we have

good basketball players, players who know what it takes, what sacrifices they have to

make, to be successful. All those things, at least in my mind, add up to wins.”

2011-12 Southern Utah Staff

Head Coach

Weber State, 1968Fifth Season At SUU

40-80 at SUU, 192-156 overall

1990, 1992 WAC and District Coach of the Year

Roger Reid is in his fifth season as SUU’s head basketballcoach. A 38-year veteran of the coaching ranks, Coach Reidcame to Southern Utah in the spring of 2007 from Snow Col-lege, where he spent the previous two seasons as head coach. Last year, with a team made up largely of sophomores andnewcomers, Coach Reid led the Thunderbirds to an 11-19record and a spot in The Summit League tournament. Theteam struggled early but finished strong, winning four of its lastsix games, including road wins at IUPUI and Western Illinois,down the stretch heading into the tournament. The only lossesduring the stretch came at the hands of Summit League regu-lar-season and tournament champion Oakland and regular-season and tournament runner-up Oral Roberts. In 2010 Coach Reid worked with a very young team thatfeatured seven freshmen, six of whom played significant min-utes. With just one senior starter the team took its lumps butthe team still had its share of highlights, including an overtimewin against defending Summit League regular-season andtournament champion North Dakota State and a season-finalewin over Centenary that saw senior Davis Baker conclude hiscareer as one of SUU’s all-time leading scorers. In addition toBaker’s accomplishments, freshman Matt Hodgson set theSUU single-season blocks record under Coach Reid’s tutelagelast season. In 2009 Coach Reid guided the team to its first SummitLeague post-season win since 2003 as the T-Birds upsetfourth-seed IUPUI in the quarterfinal round of the conferencetournament. SUU also gave eventual tournament champ NorthDakota State all it wanted in the semi-finals before bowing outof the tournament. During the season SUU was one of just twoleague teams to beat NDSU, and the only one to do it in Fargo,N.D. SUU posted an 11-20 overall record last year, includingan 8-10 mark in conference play, good for a fifth-place finish. The most notable accomplishment for Coach Reid’s Thun-derbirds in 2008-09, however, was a national free throw shoot-ing championship as SUU led all of Division I with its 79.6percent accuracy rate. SUU also led the Summit League in 3-point percentage defense, while individually, Davis Bakerearned all-conference honors and John Clifford led the leaguein rebounding and was second in field goal percentage. In his first year at SUU, Coach Reid led the team to a 9-9Summit League record and a fifth-place finish in the confer-ence, despite taking over a team that returned just four letter-men from the previous season. The season started slowly forSUU, but as the team came together the wins came too. Under Reid’s leadership the Thunderbirds led the leaguein assists and were among the league-leaders in most majorstatistical categories in league games in 07-08. Senior forwardGeoff Payne earned first-team all-Summit League recognitionand was named the conference’s Newcomer of the Year.

Reid’s teams have performed academically year as well,as he has had players earn spots on the Summit League Com-missioner’s List of Excellence each season, including and fourwho have also been named to the NABC’s Honors Court fortheir work in the classroom. During his two seasons at Snow, Coach Reid oversaw theascent of the program from a middle-of-the-pack contender toa conference championship team. In 2007 he led the Badgersto a 23-8 record and a Scenic West Athletic Conference regu-lar-season championship as well as No. 18 national ranking.He also coached a handful of all-Scenic West Athletic Confer-ence performers, including 2006 SWAC Player of the YearGeoff Payne. Coach Reid’s teams at Snow excelled on the defensiveend, twice finishing second in the SWAC and among the coun-try’s leaders in scoring defense. Prior to taking over the Snow College program in thespring of 2005, Coach Reid spent seven seasons coaching inthe professional ranks, including five as an assistant for thePhoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (helpingthe Suns to a pair of NBA playoff appearances), and two ashead coach of the Hangzhou Horses in the Chinese BasketballAssociation, China’s professional league. At Hangzhou he tookover a team with six straight losing seasons and quickly guidedthem to the CBA playoffs.

Coach Reid is probably best known for his success ashead coach at Brigham Young University. While at BYU heguided the Cougars to a 152-76 record and three Western Ath-letic Conference championships during his seven full seasonsat the program’s helm. Under Reid’s watch the Cougars earnedfive NCAA tournament berths as well as an NIT. Reid wasnamed WAC and district coach of the year twice and his careerwinning percentage of .667 is the highest of any coach withmore than two years in the position in the school’s NCAA-erahistory. Reid also spent 11 seasons as an assistant at BYU,working under both Frank Arnold and Ladell Anderson. While at BYU Coach Reid mentored 11 players who wenton to be drafted into the National Basketball Association aswell as 13 more who joined the professional ranks overseas.Included among that group are NBA standouts Danny Aingeand Fred Roberts, who each have sons who have been affili-ated with the current SUU squad: former Thunderbird assistantAustin Ainge swingman Rick Roberts. In seven-plus years coaching at BYU Reid had 13 differentplayers named all-conference and he had three in two years atSnow College. Coach Reid also coached players to 28 aca-demic all-WAC awards, had two WAC freshmen of the year, twoplayers named to the WAC’s all-defensive team and five all-WAC tournament selections. Four of Coach Reid’s teams led the WAC in scoring aver-age and in field goal percentage, and his teams led the confer-ence in 3-point percentage three times. He also had one squadwhich led the league in free throw percentage, one which led inrebounding margin, one which led in scoring margin and onewhich led in field goal percentage defense. Coach Reid is justifiably proud of his players’ graduationrate. Fully 97 percent of the players who have completed theircareers on his squad have received their degrees, an outstand-ing figure by any comparison. Coach Reid’s teams at Brigham Young averaged 22 winsper year and during his tenure he guided the squad to sixstraight seasons with 21 wins or more. Reid carries a career winning percentage of 69.8 in West-ern Athletic Conference games after winning 83 of 120 confer-ence games during his career, and he has a home mark of91-14, giving him wins in 87 percent of his home contests. His first team at BYU was picked to finish sixth but won theWAC regular-season title after going 11-5 in league games and15-0 at home as he earned his first coach of the year award.He won his first WAC tournament title the following seasonwhen his team upset No. 8 Utah and in 1992 he earned hissecond district and conference coach of the year awards afterthe team went 25-7 (12-4 in the WAC) and won both the regu-lar-season and WAC tournament titles. In 1993 he guided the team to its second straight 25-wincampaign. That team won 12 straight games en route to re-peating as WAC champions and also played Duke for thechampionship of the Maui Invitational. In the next two seasonsthe team won 22 and 21 games and in 1996 Coach Reidpicked up his 150th win in just seven seasons. A graduate of Weber State University, where he lettered inboth basketball and baseball, Coach Reid’s first head coachingjob was at Payson High School and he also coached at Utah’sClearfield High. He is also a graduate of the College of EasternUtah, where he earned all-American honors in baseball and isenshrined in the school’s athletic hall of fame.

Reid and his wife Diane are the parents of five children:Randy, who is in business in Utah and New York City; Robbie,a former professional basketball player in both Europe andSouth America who is also a graduate of the Harvard BusinessSchool; David, who passed away in 1980; Darren, a graduateof Ohio State’s law school who is in practice in Utah; and Kelli,a graduate of the University of Utah.

“Ascending” and “improving” are adjectives frequently used in media coverage of The Summit League as it continues a renaissance on the playing fi eld and in the classroom. As The Summit League celebrates its 30th anniversary season as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, the level of performance and achievement among the 11 member institutions and over 3,000 student-athletes in 19 championship sports continues to grow. Since 2007, The Summit League has produced 39 All-Americans and 28 Academic All-America selections along with three NCAA Champions, two NBA Draft choices and one Olympic Silver medalist. Headlining The Summit League’s most recent history were the additions of the University of South Dakota and the University of Nebraska Omaha to its membership. USD joined in 2009 and the 2011-12 academic year marks its fi rst year of full league competition. UNO’s membership took effect on July 1, 2011 and it will begin league competition in 2012-13. The Summit League’s visibility continues to expand on several fronts. The 2011 Baseball Championship drew a record 5,128 fans, topping the previous high by almost 1,500. Another successful Summit League Basketball Championship totaled a combined attendance of over 32,000 which ranked as the second-highest fi gure in league history while the men’s tournament was one of just six outside the traditional “power conferences” to average 4,400 or better per session. Television exposure also increased with the broadcasts of four Summit League sport championships in 2010-11. For the second consecutive season, all 14 men’s and women’s basketball tournament games were televised live, including the women’s championship on ESPNU and the men’s on ESPN2. Furthermore, The Summit League Outdoor Track and Field Championships were televised for the fi rst time and the league’s entire Baseball Tournament was carried live, marking another fi rst. The national reach of The Summit League was furthered when three member institutions hosted 2010-11 NCAA Championship events. IUPUI was a quad-host for the Women’s Basketball Final Four, UMKC co-hosted the Volleyball Championship and Oakland hosted the Great Lakes Cross Country Regional Championship. In 2013, Oakland will host the Men’s Basketball Second and Third Rounds and IUPUI will serve as co-host for a Men’s Basketball Regional. In men’s basketball, The Summit League ranked No. 18 in the Sagarin Ratings, placing four teams among the top 150 and six in the top 200. In the Mid-Major Top 25 poll, league champion Oakland ranked No. 5 with two fi rst-place votes entering the NCAA Tournament, putting them ahead of two Final Four participants, including the national runner-up. The Summit League set a league-record by playing 16 games against AP nationally-ranked teams, the highest total among mid-majors, including seven top-10 opponents, highlighted by Oakland’s win at then-No. 7 Tennessee. Women’s basketball joined the men in sending multiple teams to the postseason with three teams advancing for the second-straight year, including Oral Roberts, which reached the WNIT’s round of 16 to match the league’s deepest run in that tournament. Summit League teams combined to record four victories over “power six” conference foes during the season.

Individually on the hardwood, Oakland’s Keith Benson was selected in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks and Oral Roberts’ Steven Roundtree was named Mid-Major Freshman of the Year by CollegeInsider.com. On the women’s side, ORU’s Kevi Luper became the fi rst player in NCAA history to lead the nation in both points per game and steals per game in the same season. Several teams continued impressive championship streaks within the league in 2010-11. Oral Roberts, which fi nished the season nationally-ranked, won its 14th-straight baseball title, tying for the second-longest streak in NCAA history. Oakland captured its 12th-consecutive men’s and women’s swimming and diving titles while North Dakota State won its fourth-straight men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld championships and its third softball crown in a row. South Dakota State became the fi rst women’s basketball team to win three consecutive league championships. The Summit League enjoyed a successful track and fi eld season with eight All-Americans, including six at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Oral Roberts’ Jack Whitt fi nished as runner-up in the pole vault at the Outdoor Championships after placing third indoors. North Dakota State’s Whitney Carlson became the fi rst female athlete in league history to earn All-America honors in two events at both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships during the same year. Two Summit League student-athletes received the prestigious NCAA Elite 88 Award, given to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the fi nals site for each of the NCAA championships. Amy Anderson (women’s golf) and Carlson (outdoor track and fi eld), both from North Dakota State, the lone non-FBS public university to have multiple recipients, were presented with the honor and added All-America honors for their athletic performances. Anderson led the league’s individual accomplishments, placing 12th at the NCAA Women’s Golf Championships, the highest fi nish ever by a Summit League player, and competing as an amateur in the U.S. Women’s Open. IPFW’s Amy Recht claimed her fourth consecutive Women’s Tennis Player of the Year honor and became the fi rst Summit League athlete to win the sport’s top award in each season of eligibility. Academically, six Summit League student-athletes received Academic All-America honors and six teams were bestowed with the NCAA Public Recognition Award, an honor given to teams that have a Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The accomplishments of 2010-11 came on the heels of the exceptional success the previous two years. In 2009-10, IUPUI’s Chen Ni became The Summit League’s fi rst female NCAA Champion when she took fi rst in the platform dive. Oakland’s Keith Benson was named the Lou Henson Award winner as the nation’s Mid-Major Player of the Year. The preceding year, Oral Roberts track star Andretti Bain won a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a member of the

Bahamas’ 4x400-meter relay team after winning both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor 400-meter titles and IUPUI’s George Hill became The Summit League’s second NBA fi rst round draft pick. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its fi fth year of rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. Included in the plan was the league’s new name, the creation of a new image and the addition of three member institutions. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of over 135,000 at 11 universities, fi ve of which are located in the top 76 U.S. media markets (Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Tulsa and Omaha). Member institutions include: IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), the University of Nebraska Omaha (which begins league competition in 2012-13), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, the University of South Dakota (in its fi rst year as a full member), South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. Eastern Illinois University is an associate member in swimming and diving and men’s soccer. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s outdoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the fi rst round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA fi rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, Oral Roberts’ baseball program fi nished the 2004 campaign with a national-ranking and became the fi rst Summit League school to reach an NCAA Super Regional in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State’s 2009 softball team became the fi rst League member to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. During the 2008-09 basketball season, South Dakota State’s women’s team was nationally-ranked throughout the year and capped its season with an NCAA Tournament fi rst round victory. The League has produced fi ve NCAA champions, four Olympic athletes and several All-Americans in the sports of track and fi eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professional athletes and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball fi rst round picks, a pair of NBA fi rst rounders, and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguer Kevin Duckworth (NBA) was a two-time all-star during his professional career. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.

ASSOCIATE MEMBER: Eastern Illinois University competes as an associate member in swimming and diving and men’s soccer.

One of the Summit League’s most iconic moments came when Valparaiso’s Bryce Drew hit “the shot”, a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, to top Mississippi in the fi rst round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. Valpo’s story captivated the nation as they became the league’s second team to reach the “Sweet 16.”

Quick Review Of 2011-12

Southern Utah had its ups and downsthrough the early season but found itsgroove down the stretch when the teamwrapped up the regular season winningfive of eight games, with two of the lossescoming by two and three points. During that stretch drive the Thunder-birds picked up their first road sweep in sixyears when they came from behind to winat IUPUI, 80-68, and at Western Illinois,68-63. The only blemishes down the stretchwere a 71-68 loss to UMKC, a 71-69 lossto Oral Roberts and an 82-68 loss to regu-lar-season and conference tournamentchampion Oakland. After a one-year hiatus the Thunder-birds returned to The Summit League tour-nament last year, where they gaveOakland all it wanted before eventuallycoming up short in the quarterfinal round ofthe tournament. Highlights of the season included an appearance in the Carrs/Safeway GreatAlaska Shootout, where junior forward Matt Massey earned a spot on the all-tourna-ment team after averaging 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the threegames. The team also combined to block a school-record 132 shots, including 13against Panhandle State, another SUU watermark.

Michael T. Benson is in his fourth year as president of Southern Utah University He was appointed the 15thpresident of SUU on November 10, 2006, by the Utah State Board of Regents.

Dr. Benson came to SUU from Snow College where he served as president for five years. Prior to his tenure inEphraim, Dr. Benson was special assistant to the president and secretary to the University of Utah, a cabinet-levelposition on that campus. During his presidency at Snow, athletic teams ex-celled, winning several conference championships and finishing near thetop of national rankings. He was instrumental in establishing America’spremier junior college football bowl game, the Zions Bank Top of the Moun-tains Bowl, played each December in Salt Lake City. Dr. Benson currently

serves as Chair of the Presidents’ Council for the Summit League. President Benson is the father of four children, Emma, Samuel, Truman Taft, and Tatum Anne. He andhis wife Debi, along with the kids, are regularly seen around campus and at all types of sporting events. An accomplished athlete, Dr. Benson was captain of the East High School basketball team and one offour sophomores on the team that won the 1981 Utah State championship. He turned down track scholar-ships as a senior at East to enroll at Brigham Young University on a leadership scholarship, eventually earn-ing a bachelor’s degree in political science, English, and history while playing on the junior varsity basketballteam. He has also competed in the worlds oldest rivalry, serving as a player/coach in leading Oxford Univer-sity over Cambridge in the 1994 Varsity Basketball Match.

Dear Thunderbird Fans and Supporters:

One of America’s great coaches once said, “The will to winis not nearly as important as the will to prepare to win.” All of usat Southern Utah University are committed to helping our stu-dent-athletes as they prepare to win on their respective fieldsand courts of competition. But more importantly, we are commit-ted to helping them acquire those tools, experiences, and skillsthat will help them succeed in life and their life’s work. I thankyou for your continued commitment to SUU and its many out-standing athletic programs which now number 17 – the secondhighest number of Division I sports programs offered in the en-tire State of Utah. For all those who enjoy a football Saturday on a beautifulfall day in the shadow of Cedar Mountain, the benefits of Divi-sion I athletics in our community are innumerable. From the dol-lars spent by visiting teams and fans in our local places ofbusiness to the positive media coverage generated by our stu-dent-athletes, the University is the beneficiary of these and otherpositive by-products of the substantial investment in our athleticprogram. Donors and alumni are even more proud of their asso-ciation with the University when they see a return on their do-nated dollars in the form of success on the field and in theclassroom.

Excellence in athletics will continue to be an investment weare willing to make at Southern Utah University. In addition tothose student-athletes who learn invaluable lessons in both the“thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,” athletics provide excel-lent participation opportunities for students in bands, cheersquads, dance teams, trainers, marketing interns, and manymore. Our student athletes also represent a large percentage ofthe geographic, socioeconomic, ethnic, and religious diversity oncampus which, I believe, enhances and enriches the academicand social experience of ALL our students. I heartily commend our athletic director, Ken Beazer, andhis able and committed staff for their superb stewardship of thefunds directed toward athletics. I also wish to thank all the aca-demic and support staff who regularly monitor the progress ofour student-athletes to ensure their commitment to “prepare towin” while at SUU and well beyond. Thank you for your support of Southern Utah University andthe proud Thunderbird tradition.

Yours sincerely,

SUU President Michael Benson

KEN BEAZER ON SUU ATHLETICS:

Southern Utah University is truly a place where academ-ics come first. The strong academic commitment of the staffand coaches is manifest in the overall academic accomplish-ments our teams achieve on an annual basis. The Univer-sity’s strong academic emphasis, coupled with the dedicatedefforts of the student athletes, allows the Athletics Depart-ment to continually post high marks in the classroom. The academic climate offered at SUU enables the insti-tution to attract and retain high quality student athletes withsound character and a clear understanding of personal re-sponsibility. Thunderbird Athletics was recently rewarded byits fellow institutions with an unprecedented, fourth consecu-tive Mid-Continent Conference Sportsmanship Award, settinga new standard by which all institutions are now measured. Southern Utah is fortunate to have a great relationshipwith the community, bringing new meaning to the term, “cam-pus community.” Cedar City residents are hospitable, friendlyand eager to serve, creating an ideal setting for personalgrowth. Thunderbird student athletes readily accept their re-sponsibility of role models and spent countless hours in thelocal schools mentoring children. Southern Utah University’s commitment to athletics ismanifest in its first class athletic facilities, providing the nec-essary amenities for a student athlete to achieve his/her ath-letic goals and compete at higher levels. Southern Utah University is an ideal place to achieve ac-ademic and athletic excellence and reach the high expecta-tions we all have.

Because of their proximity and grandeur, Zion

National Park and Cedar Breaks National Monu-

ment are claimed by SUU’ students as part of

their campus. Geology and life science field trips

take advantage of these national treasures, in

addition to Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Capi-

tol Reef and Great Basin National Parks, which

are also close by.

The University’s skiing classroom is at the

11,300-foot Brian Head Ski Resort, less than an

hour away, while the recreational opportunities

offered by Lake Powell are less than two hours

away.

SUU has a history unique in the annals of American higher

education. In 1897, the entire population of Cedar City, then

a small pioneer town, engaged in the building of Old Main,

the first building of the University. Beginning the project in

mid-winter because of a harsh deadline imposed by the leg-

islature, the men and women of the community donated

materials, money and labor to complete the building on

time.

Today the university campus has grown to comprise 133

acres, landscaped with fountains, tall

spruce and pine trees, plazas, statu-

ary, latticed walkways and expansive

lawns, offering the kind of education

you’d expect to receive at a small,

private school at the low price of a

public institution.
