Corey Thomaston is in his seventh at LeTourneau University and has a 39-113 record with the YellowJackets. Thomaston was honored by his peers following the 201213 season by being named ASC East Division Coach of the Year. That reason was evident as he took his YellowJackets and guided them to a 13-12 record, their first winning season since 2001-02, and guided to a tie for fourth place in the ASC East, also their highest finish in well over a decade. During his tenure at LeTourneau, Thomaston has placed five members on the All-ASC East Division squads, as well as four members on the All-ASC East team. He also coached the 2011-12 Newcomer of the Year in Sharday Cotton. Previously, he served as an assistant coach for the NCAA Division I Radford University women’s basketball program from 2002-07.
Drew Gaeng is in his first season as the interim head coach after spending the last four years as an assistant coach for the Warriors’ men’s basketball program.

The 2014 season marks the 18th year of play in the American Southwest Conference in league history and the first to begin play without an East and West Division. Regular season play begins Nov. 15. The three-day, eight-team, single-elimination conference tournament is slated for February 28-March 2 at the site of the No. 1 seed and an automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball Championship will be on the line. All-ASC Performers Return
All three of the YellowJackets, who earned post-season recognition in 2012-13 from the American Southwest Conference return for LeTourneau. Andrea Ashley and Jessica Manas, who were named to the ASC All-East Division Team and Ashley Stephens, who was named to All-Freshman Team lead the returnees for the 2013-14 YellowJackets. Season Opening Success
With the 56-47 win over the University of Dallas, LeTourneau has won its season opener for three-consecutive years. Double Double #1
Ashley Stephens recorded the first double-double (13 pts., 12 reb.) in the 56-47 win over the University of Dallas (Nov. 15). The last YellowJacket to have a double double in a season-opening game was a 13 point, 10-rebound effort by Katrina Visina in 2005 against Rhema Bible.
An Experienced Senior Class
The YellowJackets will be led by its four seniors Andrea Ashley, Julencia Curtis, Jessica Manas and Alexis Wighaman. The four have combined to play in 248 games (avg. 63) and made 117 starts (avg. 29.2) in threeplus years at LeTourneau. Manas leads the quartet with 72 games played and 48 starts. Going the Extra Mile
Double Double #2
Andrea Ashley recorded four double-double performances in 2013-13 including a 20-point, 20-rebound effort against East Texas Baptist on Feb. 9, 2013. The 24 rebounds by Ashley are the most by a YellowJacket since a 24-rebound effort by Sharday Cotton vs. Southwestern (Jan. 2, 2012). Block Party
The four blocked shots each by Julencia Curtis and Ashley Stephens were the most by a LeTourneau player since DeShante Thomas blocked five against Texas-Dallas on Feb. 18, 2012. The YellowJackets recorded 10 blocked shots against the Crusaders which were the most since a 10-block effort at Texas-Tyler on December 16, 2011. Fireworks - Offense
The 97 points that LeTourneau put up on the Solheim Arena scoreboard against Sul Ross State (Dec. 6, 2012) is the most since a 100-point effort against Jarvis Christian on November 18, 2008. Fireworks - Defense
When the stifling LeTourneau defense held tonight’s opponent - Hendrix (Dec. 29, 2012) to 44 points it was the lowest output by an opponent since a 36-point effort by Southwestern Assemblies of God (Dec. 8, 1998).
Senior Jessica Manas and junior Rebecca Stewart took off-season conditioning to the extra mile. Both were members of the LeTourneau University women’s cross country team that finished a program-best fourth at the ASC Championships.

Corey Thomaston is in his seventh at LeTourneau University and has a 39-113 record with the YellowJackets. Thomaston was honored by his peers following the 201213 season by being named ASC East Division Coach of the Year. That reason was evident as he took his YellowJackets and guided them to a 13-12 record, their first winning season since 2001-02, and guided to a tie for fourth place in the ASC East, also their highest finish in well over a decade. During his tenure at LeTourneau, Thomaston has placed five members on the All-ASC East Division squads, as well as four members on the All-ASC East team. He also coached the 2011-12 Newcomer of the Year in Sharday Cotton. Previously, he served as an assistant coach for the NCAA Division I Radford University women’s basketball program from 2002-07.

The 2014 season marks the 18th year of play in the American Southwest Conference in league history and the first to begin play without an East and West Division. Regular season play begins Nov. 15. The three-day, eight-team, single-elimination conference tournament is slated for February 28-March 2 at the site of the No. 1 seed and an automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Women’s Basketball Championship will be on the line. All-ASC Performers Return
All three of the YellowJackets, who earned post-season recognition in 2012-13 from the American Southwest Conference return for LeTourneau. Andrea Ashley and Jessica Manas, who were named to the ASC All-East Division Team and Ashley Stephens, who was named to All-Freshman Team lead the returnees for the 2013-14 YellowJackets. Season Opening Success
With the 56-47 win over the University of Dallas, LeTourneau has won its season opener for three-consecutive years. Double Double #1
Ashley Stephens recorded the first double-double (13 pts., 12 reb.) in the 56-47 win over the University of Dallas (Nov. 15). The last YellowJacket to have a double double in a season-opening game was a 13 point, 10-rebound effort by Katrina Visina in 2005 against Rhema Bible.
An Experienced Senior Class
The YellowJackets will be led by its four seniors Andrea Ashley, Julencia Curtis, Jessica Manas and Alexis Wighaman. The four have combined to play in 248 games (avg. 63) and made 117 starts (avg. 29.2) in threeplus years at LeTourneau. Manas leads the quartet with 72 games played and 48 starts. Going the Extra Mile
Double Double #2
Andrea Ashley recorded four double-double performances in 2013-13 including a 20-point, 20-rebound effort against East Texas Baptist on Feb. 9, 2013. The 24 rebounds by Ashley are the most by a YellowJacket since a 24-rebound effort by Sharday Cotton vs. Southwestern (Jan. 2, 2012). Block Party
The four blocked shots each by Julencia Curtis and Ashley Stephens were the most by a LeTourneau player since DeShante Thomas blocked five against Texas-Dallas on Feb. 18, 2012. The YellowJackets recorded 10 blocked shots against the Crusaders which were the most since a 10-block effort at Texas-Tyler on December 16, 2011. Fireworks - Offense
The 97 points that LeTourneau put up on the Solheim Arena scoreboard against Sul Ross State (Dec. 6, 2012) is the most since a 100-point effort against Jarvis Christian on November 18, 2008. Fireworks - Defense
When the stifling LeTourneau defense held tonight’s opponent - Hendrix (Dec. 29, 2012) to 44 points it was the lowest output by an opponent since a 36-point effort by Southwestern Assemblies of God (Dec. 8, 1998).
