About the University
USAO is one of the most unique and progressive
universities in the nation. It is Oklahoma’s only public
liberal arts college.
As a liberal arts institution, we believe it is important
that students always have before them the simultaneous
experience of specialized and general learning. We
believe it is important that they be challenged to relate
their academic concentration to the broader realm of
knowledge and that they continually be encouraged to
develop meaningful and useful associations between
diverse bodies of information.
This is the meaning of interdisciplinary education, and
it is what truly distinguishes the learning experience at
USAO. Many of the classes are taught by faculty teams,
where two, three and sometimes four instructors plan the
course and teach it together.
For example, American Civilization may be taught by
a historian, philosopher and artist. World Thought and
Culture could include a philosopher, sociologist and a
literature professor. Math in the Modern World might
involve a mathematician, computer scientist and musician.
Instructors interact in dealing with complex topics, all
bringing his or her particular academic concentration
into a conversation of perspectives.
This form of education is not easy. We intend that the
rigors students face in interdisciplinary learning will result
in significant personal growth and development. Difficulty
is a necessary prerequisite of growth and development.
Challenge is what interdisciplinary education is all about.
It is what USAO is all about.
USAO has an extremely qualified faculty to offer and
help conquer this challenge. Now, almost 90 percent of
professors have earned the highest degree available in
their field.
In 2011, USAO joined the prestigious list of “National
Liberal Arts Colleges” in the U.S. News and World Report’s
annual ranking — the only institution in Oklahoma, public
or private, to be included on this select, national list. The
same list includes Trinity, Amherst, Swarthmore and
hundreds of other respected, private liberal arts colleges.
USAO also received an ‘A’ grade from the American
Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) for the strength
of its IDS curriculum, making it one of only 22 universities
nationwide to earn this near perfect score.
No institution in Oklahoma has higher admission
standards. This is only one of the ways this institution is
being transformed by its 10-year Mission Enhancement
Plan.
In addition to the unique curriculum, USAO is a National
Historic District and is the only college or university in
Oklahoma to be on the National Register of Historic
Places. It was given this status because of its history
and the preservation of numerous original buildings on
campus.
Originally founded as Oklahoma College for Women
in 1908, the school was the first college created by
Oklahoma’s first Legislature. Additionally, it was one
of only seven colleges nationwide developed with the
mission of catering to women.
Along with a rich history, USAO has the oldest original
mission of any state college of university. Its original motto
states:
Not for livelihood but for life.

Thank you to all our students, alumni, faculty, staff and
friends who continue to work to better the university every
day. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you!
Best of luck to the Drovers this season! Keep driving to
be the best – and so will we!

John, Marilyn and Katy Feaver
We take great pride in the accomplishments of our
students outside the classroom — and athletics is a prime
example.
In 2012, three Drover teams made appearances in NAIA
National Championship tournaments as men’s soccer,
men’s basketball and baseball all represented our fine
institution on a national stage. These are just three recent
examples of the school’s achievements.
Throughout its rich 41 years of Drover athletics, the
university boasts 45 All-Americans, 63 national scholarathletes and 228 All-Conference athletes and coaches.
I know you take pride in the accomplishments of your
Drover teams – setting records, graduating excellent
student athletes and helping create a vibrant campus
culture.
USAO also competes aggressively on a national level
with the finest schools, public and private, and we’ve
racked up several other “titles” that should add to your
pride as a Drover:
• USAO ranks No. 4 in America among peer colleges
for “promoting upward social mobility,” according
to Washington Monthly. Its “upward social mobility”
measure is based upon USAO’s ratio of graduation rate of
Pell Grant recipients to net price.

Drover History
The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma was well
into its history before introducing its first sports teams in
1973 — teams that became known as the Drovers and the
Droverettes, named after the rich heritage of cattle driving
in the Chickasha area. Today, both teams are referred to as
the Drovers.
The athletic programs began when the school was still
named Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts. It started with
baseball games, golf and tennis matches scheduled in the
spring of 1973. The Drovers’ most prominent sport — basketball — began in the fall of 1973.
During that first year of basketball, the Drovers borrowed
uniforms from Oral Roberts University in blue, gold and
white. In the school’s second season, the OCLA Drovers became the USAO Drovers, and new uniforms in our
trademark green and gold colors were acquired.
The first Drover basketball games were set against Bethany Nazarene College on Nov. 17, 1973. Two days later, on
Nov. 19, then-Chickasha Mayor Samuel E. Evans declared
“Drovers Day” as the university celebrated its first home
game in Myers Fieldhouse, which is owned by Chickasha
Public Schools. In 1981, the Drovers broke ground on the
USAO Fieldhouse, which gave the teams a place to practice and play in their own backyard. Phase I of the building
was completed during the 1981-82 season. Three more
phases added dressing rooms, training areas and a swimming pool.
Long-time head basketball coach and now athletic director Brisco McPherson played for the first Drover basketball team and has been connected with the program
ever since.
In 1984, basketball star Gordon Musgrove earned the
university’s first All-American honor. A few seasons later,
in 1988, Herb Blunt became USAO’s first All-America First
Team recipient and earned Player of the Year honors in the
Sooner Athletic Conference and NAIA’s District 9.
In 2002, the men’s basketball team went on to claim the
Drovers first NAIA National Championship, beating out
conference-rival Oklahoma Baptist
96-79.
After a 17-year hiatus, baseball was
reborn in 1994, when the USAO Board
of Regents voted to expand USAO’s athletics programs to include baseball, softball and cross country. Long-time Drover
supporter and USAO administrator Bill
Smith donated his personal baseball
memorabilia to auction off for funds to
help re-establish the Drover baseball and
softball programs. In 1995, he became
the namesake of the Drovers’ ballpark.
Both baseball and softball programs
have served the university well, with
baseball earning the Red River Conference North Division Championship in
1999 and softball claiming the Sooner
6
Athletic Conference Championship in 2004. The softball
program earned three straight NAIA National Tournament
appearances in the mid-2000s while the baseball program
represented the university at the NAIA National Tournament in 2013.
USAO proudly supported tennis teams for years. In
1999, the women’s tennis team became the first in school
history to win a regional championship. That year, both the
men’s and women’s teams qualified for the NAIA National
Tournament.
While the golf team served the college sporadically for
many seasons, it, along with tennis, was discontinued in
lean years.
In 1998, the Drovers began the men’s and women’s soccer programs under Coach Jimmy Hampton. The Drover
men have claimed numerous Sooner Athletic Conference
championships and have been to the NAIA National Tournament five times. In 2010 and 2011, the Drover men made
it all the way to the quarterfinals of the tournament, making
history for the young program.
In 2011, the Drover women’s soccer team competed in
their first NAIA National Tournament and won the Sooner
Athletic Conference Tournament title for the first time in the
program’s history.
Beginning in fall of 2012, the Drovers brought back cross
country, which served the university a few seasons in the
mid-1990s.
USAO began play as part of a five-school group that
started the Sooner Athletic Conference. USAO dropped
out of the SAC in 1994 for brief stints in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate and Red River Athletic conferences, but was
granted re-admission in the SAC for the 2000-01 season.
It is one of only two original members currently in the conference.
The Drovers have a rich history of winning and producing quality student-athletes. The university boasts 45
All-Americans, 63 NAIA Scholar-Athletes and 228 All-Conference coaches and athletes throughout its history.

Drover Dancers
Gracing the sidelines and promoting Drover support for the last
three years have been USAO’s own
Drover Dancers, a squad that developed out of the former cheerleading
team.
Much like in the past, the Drover
Dancers perform during halftimes
and create a presence on the sidelines during USAO home games.
This year, the Dancers also will have
dances corresponding with some of
the basketball game themes.
Led by Emily Godwin, formerly Emily Hector, the Dancers have
been fine-tuning their performances
since finalizing the squad in September.
In addition to coaching the Dancers, Godwin is an adjunct professor
at USAO as well as the owner and
teacher of Love to Dance Studio.
USAO Pep Band
Supplying the fans with popular
music as well as old-time favorites,
this season’s USAO Pep Band is
around to get you on your feet!
The small five-piece set includes
four students as well as USAO’s own
Dr. Dan Hanson. While it is small in
size, the potential for this band is
endless!
The band will continue to perfect their traditional repertoire of the
USAO Fight Song and Star Spangled
Banner in addition to playing some
new and classic hits — including
“Another One Bites the Dust” after
each home victory.
Hanson describes the band’s music as a riff motif similar to what you’d
see on the David Letterman show.

Jennifer Hayden
Head Coach
Coach Jennifer Hayden begins her third season with the Drovers and is
eager to show off in the tough Sooner Athletic Conference.
“She understands the mission of the university,” USAO Athletic Director
Brisco McPherson said. “Hopefully, she can bring the program back to
where it’s been in the past. We were looking for someone who understands that academics as well as success on the court need to be equal
and that’s where her strengths lie.”
In her first season, she had two Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes and
seven players named Academic All-Conference, which was the most athletes in the conference honored academically for a school. Additionally,
she had a player named Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete the following
year.
“USAO is a place where students can be successful both as a student
and an athlete,” Hayden said. “I am very excited about the potential I see
at USAO for the women’s basketball program. USAO has proven to excel
in other athletic programs, and I believe the women’s basketball program
also can become a strong competitive program.”
In the 2013-14 season, Hayden had a player become the third member
in USAO women’s basketball history to reach the exclusive 1,000-Point
Club.
Hayden came to USAO directly from Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. There, she recruited and coached the 2011-12 American
Southwest Conference West Division Newcomer of the Year and had
three NCAA Scholar-Athletes. Sul Ross is an NCAA Division III school.
Prior to joining the Lobo staff in 2010, Hayden spent two seasons starting a new program as the head women’s basketball coach at NAIA Division I University of the Southwest in Hobbs, N.M.
Both years she coached at USW, her team qualified for the Red River
Conference tournament.
During her two seasons at USW, Hayden had a RRAC Player of the
Year, a two-time NAIA All-America selection, six All-Conference selections and numerous student athletes recognized as scholar athletes by
the conference as well as the NAIA.
Additionally, Hayden’s 2008-09 and 2009-10 teams were both recognized as NAIA Scholar Teams.
Before her time at the University of the Southwest, Hayden served as
the assistant women’s basketball coach and director of student activities
at Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa.
She also served as a graduate assistant for athletic administration and
sports information at West Texas A&M University and was an assistant
women’s basketball coach at Oklahoma Panhandle State University after
graduating from there.
Hayden graduated with her master’s of education in administration
from West Texas A&M. She earned two bachelor’s degrees in accounting
and business education from Oklahoma Panhandle State University.
Additionally, she played basketball and softball at Oklahoma Panhandle
State.
Hayden and her husband, Sam, have one daughter, Carlie. Sam Hayden
is the assistant baseball coach at and alumnus of USAO.

‘Learning about each other’
The 2014-15 women’s basketball team at USAO
spent the fall molding as a team in preparation for the
Drovers’ season opener.
“We are excited about the upcoming season. We
have been battling several early season injuries but
should have everyone back within the next couple of
weeks,” said Jennifer Hayden, USAO head women’s
basketball coach, at the beginning of the season.
“I expect us to play hard every game and to be
competitive.”
Last year, the Drovers struggled through a short
bench and injuries all season. Before the season
began, Hayden lost two likely starters to seasonending injuries. With only a handful of subs available,
other athletes battled stress injuries as the season
progressed.
But this season, Hayden said, depth will play a big
factor in the Drovers’ success.
“We worked really hard on this year’s recruiting
class and were excited to sign seven transfers and
five freshmen,” she said. “We are looking for all seven
transfers to make an immediate impact on our team.
We also have a couple freshmen who are developing
well and pushing for playing time.”
Two key players lost from the 2013-14 campaign
were seniors Paige Pulliam and Rashelle Carr. In
addition to the leadership they provided, they were
the team’s main scorers. In the Drovers’ final game,
Pulliam became the program’s third member of the
1,000-Point Club.
“Paige and Rashelle are definitely difficult to
replace,” Hayden said. “We wish we could have all our
seniors another year.”
This year, USAO has just two players who have seen
12
significant time on the floor as a Drover — but not
together. Ndeye Ngom, who was injured last season,
played in 2012-13 and led the team in steals (43) and
assists (85) and was second on the team in total
rebounds with 163.
The other player who returns for another season is
Brooke Worcester, who joined the team last season
to play in 21 games and secure 59 points.
Agota Jozan, a transfer from New Mexico Junior
College, was expected to make a huge impact on the
2013-14 team before she was injured in the season
opener.
“Our obvious weakness right now is being a virtually
new team so we don’t have any real game time playing
experience together, which is why our scrimmages are
so important to us this year,” Hayden explained. “The
more we play, the more they are learning about each
other and improving as a team.”
The Drovers had two scrimmages in October before
the season began.
In the tough Sooner Athletic Conference, the
Drovers have plenty of top-level competition. Three
SAC schools — Oklahoma City, John Brown and
Oklahoma Baptist — are ranked in the NAIA’s Top
10 in its Preseason Coaches Poll and two others are
receiving votes nationally.
“We had four teams in the national tournament last
year and two of those made it to the Fab Four,” Hayden
said. “So there are definitely no easy games. We have
to be prepared to play hard every night.”
Hayden begins her third season with the Drovers. In
her first two seasons, she saw the Drovers to back-toback SAC tournaments and had three players named
Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes.

Doug Hall
Head Coach
NCAA Division I coach Doug Hall is set to begin his first season with the
Drovers as the head men’s basketball coach at USAO.
Hall becomes the seventh head coach in Drover basketball history. He
said he is eager to get started with his players, bond as a unit and establish
their strengths.
Hall describes his playing style as high energy and enjoyable for coaches,
players and fans.
Hall comes to USAO from the University of Missouri – Kansas City,
an NCAA Division I institution, where he was an assistant coach for the
Kangaroos for a year. Prior to serving as an assistant, he was the director
of operations for three years at UMKC.
From 2001-09, Hall was the head basketball coach at Southwestern
College in Winfield, Kansas. He left Southwestern College as the third
winningest coach in school history, compiling a 145-92 overall record. The
145 wins are the most during any eight-year span in the 103-year history of
Southwestern College basketball.
Southwestern is an NAIA school in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic
Conference, and while he was there, Hall coached against former USAO
coach, Athletic Director Brisco McPherson.
In 2006, he led the Moundbuilders to a school record of 28 wins and was
named KCAC Coach of the Year.
In the classroom, Hall left Southwestern with a perfect 100 percent
graduation rate, as all 33 of his seniors earned their degrees.
While at Southwestern, Hall also served as an associate professor of sport
management from 2001-09. Additionally, he worked in the development
office, where he left the school as an Assistant Athletic Director.
Hall joined the Moundbuilder program from the Detroit Pistons of the
National Basketball Association, where he spent two seasons as the
corporate sales coordinator.
Before being hired by the Pistons, he completed an eight-week internship
in the athletic department of the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis,
Maryland.
Hall played collegiately at Wartburg College, a liberal arts institution, in
Waverly, Iowa. During his varsity action, he was a two-year starter on teams
that combined to go 56-23 and to win two Iowa conference championships.
Those teams both played in the NCAA national tournament and the 1990-91
team reached the Sweet 16.
He graduated from Wartburg in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in fitness
management and a minor in business. Hall earned a master’s degree from
the West Virginia University sport management program in 1994.
He and his wife, Tiffany, have two children, Darren and Katie.

‘It’s their team and their season’
In a season of transition, the men’s basketball team
at USAO has the potential for a strong season through
toughness and consistent effort, said Doug Hall, head
men’s basketball coach.
Since Hall joined the team about the time school
started, he really had to hit the ground running, learning
what his team was capable of and where to put the
pieces to create success.
Through a month of official practices and two
scrimmages, Hall has seen the Drovers through the
process of turning preseason talent into outcomes on
the floor.
“I feel like our team is making slow, steady progress
each day,” he said. “As a staff, we are trying to get
them to understand the value of each possession and
the importance of competing at a high level every time
they step on the floor.”
As the preseason comes to a close, Hall said he
believes the team’s efforts will show as the season
develops.
“I’m just excited for the players. It’s their team and
their season,” he said. “I think they will get out of it
what they put into it.”
The Drovers went 15-15 (10-10) during the 201314 campaign, which ended in the SAC Semifinals.
The Drovers, however, graduated key seniors from
that team, including All-American Jahseth Lloyd,
All-Conference athlete Shavon Scott and All-SAC
Tournament team member Tyler Reynolds.
Without those starters, who provided senior
leadership and offensive firepower, the Drovers will
look to their six returners to fill in the gaps, returners
24
including guards David Tucker, Jr., and Donnie Brown,
each of whom saw starts in the majority of games last
year.
Also returning is Markens Charles, another guard
who started the 2013-14 team’s first three contests and
averaged nearly 14 points a game before sustaining a
season-ending injury.
“Our strength, at least right now, is our backcourt.
We have a solid group of guards,” Hall said. “We need
to find consistent, positive leadership and a core group
willing to defend and rebound.”
In addition to the returners, the Drovers brought
in eight new players, including three freshmen, two
sophomores and three seniors.
“I like our new players. They are actually all new to
me, so it gives everyone a clean slate,” Hall said. “I
came in with no pre-conceived notions of who could
do what.”
The Drovers play in one of the best small college
leagues in the country with three Sooner Athletic
Conference schools — Saint Gregory’s, Oklahoma
Baptist and Wayland Baptist — present in the NAIA’s
Top 25 in the Preseason Coaches Poll this year. Two
others are receiving votes.
Further, the Drovers have scheduled two nonconference opponents ranked in the preseason in (20)
Evangel University and (T25) Our Lady of the Lake.
“Our goals this season are to play as close to our
maximum potential as possible, compete and play
hard and have fun doing it,” Hall said. “We have a good
group and some talented athletes. I hope people will
come out and support them.”
