WCU - DID YOU KNOW...? • The Western Carolina women’s basketball team was the Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (CIAW) National Runner-Up in the 1968-69 season and finished fourth the following year in the tournament. • In 1971, Western Carolina hosted the National Women’s Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament in Reid Gymnasium. WCU also hosted an Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Southern Region II Tournament in 1975-76, making a total of three apperances in the AIAW tournament, which was the predecessor of the NCAA for women’s collegiate athletics. • The all-time leading scorer in Western Carolina women’s basketball history is Jayne Arledge – she is the niece of the late Roone Arledge, a pioneer in the field of televison journalism and creator of Monday Night Football, 20/20, and Nightline. • Western’s Ronnie Carr made the first 3-point basket in NCAA history. To mark the event, during both of ESPN2’s games on November 29, 2004 the network featured Carr, who sank that first 3-pointer on Nov. 29, 1980. The 2005-06 season marks the 25th anniversary of the historic shot which has revolutionized the game of basketball. Carr’s historic shot came in Western’s 77-70 victory over Middle Tennessee State and the ball he used is on display at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. The shot was made from the left corner of Reid Gym — Western’s facility at the time — with 16:09 left in the first half (7:06 pm). Ironically, Carr wore number 22 and the 3-point arc that first year was 22 feet, instead of the now 19-feet, nine-inches. Carr had the number 22 his freshman season and the 3- point shot did not debut until his sophomore year. Another interesting side note, while Carr made the first 3-pointer in NCAA history, Western Carolina actually played a game one day prior (Nov. 28), defeating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 88-77, in Atlanta. However, Carr’s historic shot had to wait one until the following day since the Southern Conference was the only league sanctioned by the NCAA to use the 3-point shot. Carr only took 39 3-pointers during the 1980-81 season, making 15 and earning first team All-Southern Conference honors. As a junior the following year, Carr only took 11 treys, making eight. However, the 1981-82 season, which would be his final year at Western, Carr still led the SoCon in scoring and earned first team All-SoCon honors for a second time. While Carr did not utilize the 3-point shot much, Western led the SoCon in 3- pointers made and attempted during the four-year NCAA/SoCon experiment, making 182-of-450 treys (.404) over the time span. Carr would not be able to play his senior year after having a serious car accident prior to the season’s start. However, Carr served as a student assistant coach that season and would go on to receive “Most Courageous Athlete” award, given by the United States Basketball Writers Association. Despite the accident, Carr was still selected in the 10th round of the NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks. • Western Carolina was the first predominately white university or college in the South to recruit and sign African-American athletes. Western’s Henry Logan, the basketball program’s all-time leader in points (3,290) and assists (1,037), was the first to break the color barrier in the South, starting his career in 1964-65. In the fall of 1965, Western’s Keith Elliott became the first African- player in the South to break the color barrier. • Western Carolina boasts several former student-athletes now playing at the professional level: NBA (Kevin Martin with Sacramento - pictured); NFL (Brad Hoover with Carolina - pictured, three-time Super Bowl winner, David Patten, now with Washington; International basketball (David Berghoefer, Corey Muirhead; Frankie King; Rans Brempong).

GET IN THE ‘WHEE – BE LOUD. BE PROUD. WEAR PURPLE. Kellie HARPER HEAD WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COACH - 3RD SEASON

Kellie Harper enters her third year as the head women’s basketball coach at Western Carolina University having experienced both the highs and lows of the coaching profession. In just her first season at the helm, the former Chattanooga assistant and Tennessee Lady Vol standout etched her name into the record books becoming the first-ever, first-year head coach in the Southern Conference to capture the SoCon Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship. Harper led her sixth-seeded Catamounts to the crown in 2005 and to the NCAA tournament, the first on both accounts in the school’s 40-year women’s basketball history. As a team, Western Carolina either set or tied eight SoCon Tournament records in 2005, adding seven individual records to the tally as well. Last season, met with arguably the toughest schedule in the Southern Conference, the Harper-led, youth-laden Lady Catamounts endured the slowest start in school history with a nine-game losing skid en route to a 9-20 overall season record. However, blossoming from amidst the struggle was the SoCon’s Freshman of the Year, Lauren Powell, and all-tournament team selection, Monique Dawson, both of which are studying under the tutelage of Harper. As a head coach, Harper has had two players earn All-SoCon honors with Powell last season and Jennifer Gardner in 2004-05, with five different players garnering all- tournament accolades. All told, Harper has been involved with collegiate women’s basketball for 11 years with an unprecedented nine trips to the NCAA tournament, missing the Big Dance once with Auburn and once at Western. Harper, whose maiden name was Kellie Jolly, is no stranger, and certainly no rookie, to the world of women’s basketball. She was a three-year starting point guard for the University of Tennessee Lady Vols and helped guide UT to an unprecedented three consecutive national championships in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Harper quickly instilled that confidence and enthusiasm in the Lady Mocs program when she joined the Chattanooga staff in the summer of 2001. In three seasons as an assistant at Chattanooga, Harper helped the Mocs to three-consecutive SoCon Championships. She worked primarily with the perimeter players, which included the 2004 Player of the Year and tournament MVP Katasha Brown, two-time tournament MVP and All-Conference guard Miranda Warfield, along with two other all-league players. Prior to her stint at Chattanooga, Harper spent two years on the Auburn staff from 1999-2001, quickly moving from administrative assistant the first year to assistant coach in 2000-01. As a senior with the Lady Vols in 98-99, Harper earned All-America status as an honorable mention selection by the Associated Press after averaging 7.5 points and 4.1 assists. She was also a second-team All-SEC selection. During her junior year, she averaged 7.6 points and 3.8 assists in guiding the Lady Vols to a perfect 39-0 record. In the national championship game against Louisiana Tech, she poured in a career-high 20 points and hit four of five 3- pointers. She did not miss a during the NCAA Tournament, nailing 14 in a row. Her prowess earned her a spot on the All-Final Four team, plus she was voted by her teammates to receive the Gloria Ray Leadership Award and by the staff to receive the “Coaches Award.” Harper became the team’s emotional and inspirational leader in 1997. After missing the first 16 games of her sophomore season due to injury, she returned to help the Lady Vols win the second of their three NCAA Championships during her time with the team. In the NCAA Final against Old Dominion, she dished out a championship-game record 11 assists and was named to the Final Four All-Tournament team with a record 20 assists in two games. She was also selected to the NCAA All-Midwest Regional Tournament team. In 1995-96, she was the co-recipient of the team’s “Sixth Player Award.” The National Strength and Conditioning Association named Harper as its “Strength and Conditioning Female Athlete of the Year” at Tennessee in 1997 plus, she was selected by the Lady Vols coaching staff for the “Coaches Award” and she was also selected to the NSCA All-America team. For her career, Harper tallied 894 points and 450 assists.
