The Coaches
Corey Thomaston is in his seventh at LeTourneau University and has a 42-115 record with the YellowJackets. Thomaston was honored by his peers following the 201112 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.
Carl Ramsey is in his fifth season as the head women’s basketball coach at Ozarks. Prior to taking the reigns at Ozarks, he was a high school coach for the previous 29 seasons.

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. Dialing Long Distance
Senior Ashley Fajardo has hit multiple 3 pointers in all seven games, thus far. Career Nights in Tyler
Senior Alexis Wighaman for the second-straight contest scored 15 points to match a career-high for the Houston native on Tuesday against University of Texas at Tyler. Wighaman was not the only YellowJacket with a career-best performance, freshman guards Bria Goodman and Ashley Reed each set new career highs with 7 points. Double Double
With the double double performances vs. East Texas Baptist (Nov. 26, 2013), by Julencia Curtis (18 pts., 13 reb.) and Alexis Wighaman (14 pts., 13 reb.), the last time that LeTourneau had two players with double doubles was when Denee McKay (24 pts., 10 reb.) and Katrina Visina (19 pts., 10 reb.) achieved the same feat on January 26, 2006.
Familiarity in the Lineup
The YellowJackets have used the same starting lineup for the first seven games - Ashley Fajardo, Ashley Reed, Alexis Wighaman, Ashley Stephens and Julencia Curtis. LeTourneau and four others in the ASC Louisiana College, Ozarks, Texas-Dallas, Texas-Tyler - have used the same starting lineup in every game thus far in 2013-14. Clamping Down on Defense
The YellowJackets held the Lady Choctaws of Mississippi College to 27.3% shooting from the field to match its lowest shooting effort from the field since a Feb. 27, 2004 tilt against Howard Payne. Furthermore, MC was held to 10.5% (2-for-19) shooting from the 3-point line, its lowest output since they were held without a 3 pointer against Louisiana College on Jan. 8, 2013. Second Half Sparks
LeTourneau scored a season-high 46 points in the second half against Louisiana College. It is the most points in a half since they put up 48 in the second half of a 97-46 win over Sul Ross State on December 6, 2012. At the Free-Throw Line
Through seven games in five contests, LeTourneau has made 20+ free throws in 2013-14. It took 17 games in 2012-13 for the YellowJackets to achieve the same feat.
Block Party
The YellowJackets were strong on the inside, blocking seven Lady Choctaw shots - its second highest total of the season. To start the season, LETU blocked 10 University of Dallas shots. The four blocked shots each by Julencia Curtis and Ashley Stephens against the University of Dallas 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. An Experienced Senior Class
The YellowJackets will be led by its three seniors Julencia Curtis, Jessica Manas and Alexis Wighaman. The three have combined to play in 232 games (avg. 74) and made 117 starts (avg. 37) in three-plus years at LeTourneau. Manas leads the trio with 82 games played and 52 starts. Going the Extra Mile
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. Manas clocked a season-best 5k time of 25:03.4 at the Demon Invitational (Oct. 12) and a season-best 6k time of 30:40.88 at the ASC Championships (Nov. 2) as she ran in all six meets for the YellowJackets. Stewart participated in five meets. She recorded a season-best 5k time of 21:53 at the Demon Invitational (Oct. 12) and a 6k time of 27:21.91 at the ASC Championships (Nov. 2). She finished as the YellowJackets second runner in all five meets; plus she posted a pair of top-20 finishes including a season-best 13th place finish at the Demon Invitational.

The Coaches
Corey Thomaston is in his seventh at LeTourneau University and has a 42-115 record with the YellowJackets. Thomaston was honored by his peers following the 201112 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.
Carl Ramsey is in his fifth season as the head women’s basketball coach at Ozarks. Prior to taking the reigns at Ozarks, he was a high school coach for the previous 29 seasons.
LeTourneau Basketball Ozarks • 2 Preseason Prognostications

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. Dialing Long Distance
Senior Ashley Fajardo has hit multiple 3 pointers in all seven games, thus far. Career Nights in Tyler
Senior Alexis Wighaman for the second-straight contest scored 15 points to match a career-high for the Houston native on Tuesday against University of Texas at Tyler. Wighaman was not the only YellowJacket with a career-best performance, freshman guards Bria Goodman and Ashley Reed each set new career highs with 7 points. Double Double
With the double double performances vs. East Texas Baptist (Nov. 26, 2013), by Julencia Curtis (18 pts., 13 reb.) and Alexis Wighaman (14 pts., 13 reb.), the last time that LeTourneau had two players with double doubles was when Denee McKay (24 pts., 10 reb.) and Katrina Visina (19 pts., 10 reb.) achieved the same feat on January 26, 2006.
Familiarity in the Lineup
The YellowJackets have used the same starting lineup for the first seven games - Ashley Fajardo, Ashley Reed, Alexis Wighaman, Ashley Stephens and Julencia Curtis. LeTourneau and four others in the ASC Louisiana College, Ozarks, Texas-Dallas, Texas-Tyler - have used the same starting lineup in every game thus far in 2013-14. Clamping Down on Defense
The YellowJackets held the Lady Choctaws of Mississippi College to 27.3% shooting from the field to match its lowest shooting effort from the field since a Feb. 27, 2004 tilt against Howard Payne. Furthermore, MC was held to 10.5% (2-for-19) shooting from the 3-point line, its lowest output since they were held without a 3 pointer against Louisiana College on Jan. 8, 2013. Second Half Sparks
LeTourneau scored a season-high 46 points in the second half against Louisiana College. It is the most points in a half since they put up 48 in the second half of a 97-46 win over Sul Ross State on December 6, 2012. At the Free-Throw Line
Through seven games in five contests, LeTourneau has made 20+ free throws in 2013-14. It took 17 games in 2012-13 for the YellowJackets to achieve the same feat.
Block Party
The YellowJackets were strong on the inside, blocking seven Lady Choctaw shots - its second highest total of the season. To start the season, LETU blocked 10 University of Dallas shots. The four blocked shots each by Julencia Curtis and Ashley Stephens against the University of Dallas 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. An Experienced Senior Class
The YellowJackets will be led by its three seniors Julencia Curtis, Jessica Manas and Alexis Wighaman. The three have combined to play in 232 games (avg. 74) and made 117 starts (avg. 37) in three-plus years at LeTourneau. Manas leads the trio with 82 games played and 52 starts. Going the Extra Mile
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. Manas clocked a season-best 5k time of 25:03.4 at the Demon Invitational (Oct. 12) and a season-best 6k time of 30:40.88 at the ASC Championships (Nov. 2) as she ran in all six meets for the YellowJackets. Stewart participated in five meets. She recorded a season-best 5k time of 21:53 at the Demon Invitational (Oct. 12) and a 6k time of 27:21.91 at the ASC Championships (Nov. 2). She finished as the YellowJackets second runner in all five meets; plus she posted a pair of top-20 finishes including a season-best 13th place finish at the Demon Invitational.
