2017-18 Tulsa Women’s Basketball

Matilda Mossman

Western Kentucky, 1979

Head Coach

Seventh Season

Matilda Mossman is in her seventh sea-son at The University of Tulsa after being appointed as the head women’s basketball coach on March 22, 2011. Mossman took over a five-win team and in just her second year won a conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. In her first season at the helm of the program (2011-12), the Golden Hurricane posted 13 wins, and finished league play with an 8-8 record and a sixth-place finish. However, a year later, the program took another big step forward as the Hurricane captured the 2013 Conference USA tournament title, advanced to the NCAA Tournament and posted the first non-losing record (17-17) since 2006. Last year, Tulsa fielded a young team with five freshmen and three sophomores. The Hurricane tallied a 10-21 overall record, including a 5-11 mark in the American Athletic Conference for a ninth-place fin-ish. Shug Dickson and Kendrian Elliott were tabbed to The American All-Freshman team, and the TU freshmen class earned six Freshman of the Week accolades. During her tenure, Mossman has coached two-time all-Conference USA performer Taleya Mayberry, and helped Kelsee Grovey earn C-USA All-Freshman team accolades, as well as Mayberry, Grovey and Tiffani Couisnard receive C-USA All-Tournament team recognition in 2013. She also coached Ashley Clark to all-C-USA second team accolades as a sophomore, second team all-conference accolades and Sixth Man of the Year recognition as a junior in the American Athletic Conference, and third-team all-conference accolades as a senior. During the 2016-17 season, Shug Dickson and Kendrian Elliott were tabbed to The American All-Freshman team, and the TU freshmen earned six Freshman of the Week accolades. In 14 years as a collegiate head coach, Mossman has registered an overall 229-195 record. She had a 67-27 mark at Arkansas (1981-84), an 80-66 mark at Kansas State (1984-89), and has an 82-102 record in five seasons at Tulsa. She also coached on the high school level for nine seasons. In 22 years as a head coach, Mossman has com-piled a 420-248 record for a .628 winning percentage. She has two sons, Scott and Matt.

A Hurricane in Tulsa?The Origination of The University of Tulsa nickname - Golden Hurricane - was created in 1922. A new football coach, Howard Archer came to town and inherited a slew of nicknames dating back to 1895. In the past, Tulsa had been named “Kendallites,” “Presbyterians,” “Tigers,” “Orange and Black,” “Tulsans,” and of course, “Yellow Jackets.” The team started working out in the fall with a new nickname “Yellow Jackets” which was apparently due to the fact that the team was wearing new black and yellow uniforms. The team opened the season and it was apparent that Tulsa was going to have a great year, and trying to seize some publicity for his team, Archerwantedtofindanewnicknamequickly.Afteraremarkwasmadeinpractice one day about “roaring through opponents,” and because of their new jersey colors, he thought of “Golden Tornadoes.” But a check showed that Georgia Tech already had chosen that tag in 1917. From the tornado, he evolved meteorologically to the hurricane. A few days before the team left for a game against Texas A&M, Archer asked the squad to vote on the name, and thus “Golden Hurricane” was born.
