During that period, the Pilot program has seen its teams advance to a College World Series, win a Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular season and tournament title, and have 23 players selected as a GCAC All-Conference performer.  The recent success on the baseball diamond for the Pilots is a direct reflection of all the hard work and time each LSUS player and coach puts in during the off-season.  If this summer is any indication of things to come at LSUS, expect more championships!]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 10 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate><guid>http://www.lsus.edu/athletics/summer-roundup--baseball</guid></item><item><title>Summer Roundup:  Men's Basketball</title><link>http://www.lsus.edu/athletics/summer-roundup--mens-basketball</link><description><![CDATA[As the summer begins to wind down and the new school year approaches, the LSUS men's basketball team has yet to slow down.

Does tradition breed winning? Is a "successful coach" defined simply by the results found in the win column year after year? Or is it the number of lives one touches and influences through the relationships and experiences shared with young players who stubbornly remain so impressionable through their final teenage years? While the answer to these questions can be broken down in hundreds of ways resulting in different philosophies adopted by coaches, LSUS Pilots Men's Basketball Head Coach Chad McDowell has based his coaching style to follow an inspiring quote which hangs in his office on a plaque given to him by Mrs. Tanya' Porter. The quote reads, "What is a great coach? A great coach is not only measured on the number of games he wins or loses, but by the number of lives he has changed along the way."]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate><guid>http://www.lsus.edu/athletics/mcdowell-earns-4th-consecutive-labc-coach-of-the-year-award</guid></item><item><title>LSUS vs TWU double-header cancelled due to weather</title><link>http://www.lsus.edu/athletics/lsus-vs-twu-double-header-cancelled-due-to-weather</link><description><![CDATA[Today's scheduled double-header between the LSUS Pilots and the Texas Wesleyan University Rams has been cancelled due to weather.

Despite having an arsenal of NCAA Division I caliber players, most NAIA affiliated teams do not draw crowds that fill their respective facilities, no matter how big or how small the venue. This is due in part because of the lack of attention from the media on a national level and in some cases even the local level, which is imperative for the community to become familiar with the teams and conferences and the developed rivalries amongst them.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 20 Sep 2005 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate><guid>http://www.lsus.edu/athletics/pilots-schedule-arkansas-and-lsu-for-2005-season</guid></item><item><title>LSUS Athletics Sends Best Wishes to GCAC Family</title><link>http://www.lsus.edu/athletics/lsus-athletics-sends-best-wishes-to-gcac-family</link><description><![CDATA[Shreveport, LA---Louisiana State University in Shreveport would like to send their best wishes to the members of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference and their families who have been affected by this disastrous event.
