Ch-is-Um A-Jeck-Woo Game Notes • 2 2019-20 @KUwbball The Ladyjacks finished the 2013-14 campaign with a 23-13 record and saw the team become the first in school history to win three games in a postseason tournament. SFA defeated Texas State and Boise State at home during the WBI and bested College of Charleston on the road to advance to the title game where SFA fell to Illinois-Chicago 73-64. Schneider’s team overcame adversity en route to its first conference title since 2010 and its 16th TOUGH in the Southland overall. The Ladyjacks had one returning starter go down with an injury during preseason workouts and lost another starter five games into conference play. After losing the first two games following the second injury, Schneider and his staff made adjustments to see the team go 9-2 to close the regular season, including winning the last six straight. SFA overcame a five- game deficit in the Southland standings to tie for the regular season crown. Schneider guided the team to the championship game of the Southland Conference Tournament as well for the second AND time in his tenure. Awards came in for SFA in the 2013-14 season for Porsha Roberts. Schneider saw his team’s top player win Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year and become the all-time blocks leader in SFA history. Roberts averaged 17.0 points per game and shot an impressive 56.3 percent from the field. Her shooting percentage improved during league play where she hit 58.7 percent of her shots. Roberts was named first team All-Southland Conference and receive all-tournament honors during the WBI. Roberts averaged 22.5 points during the run to the championship game of the tournament.
