2014-15 HAMPTON UNIVERSITY LADY PIRATES
ASSISTANT COACH BARBARA BURGESS
Barbara J. Burgess is entering her sixth
season as an assistant coach for the
Hampton University women’s basketball
program. She came to Hampton after a
year as an assistant at Norfolk State,
where she was responsible for coaching
the guards, in-state recruiting, film exchange and team academics.
Burgess was a part of yet another championship effort in 2013-14, as the Lady
Pirates again won 28 games and took
their fifth straight MEAC Tournament title
– an unprecedented feat in the history of
the conference. Along the way, senior guard Nicole Hamilton was a First
Team All-MEAC selection, and freshman Malia Tate-DeFreitas earned
MEAC Rookie of the Year honors.
Tate-DeFreitas averaged 18.1 points per game in 2013-14, while Hamilton averaged 13.1 points and 4.7 assists per contest. Hamilton also led
the team in steals (63) and blocked shots (73).
The Lady Pirates’ backcourt in 2012-13 featured the junior Hamilton –
who converted from shooting guard to point guard – and senior Olivia
Allen, who played herself into the starting lineup as the season wore on.
Hamilton, who played for Burgess at Phoebus High School, was named
First Team All-MEAC after ranking third in the MEAC with 5.3 assists
per game.
Both Hamilton and Allen also averaged double figures in scoring that
season.
Burgess oversaw a senior backcourt in 2011-12 that included Jericka
Jenkins and Choicetta McMillian, both of whom averaged more than 13
points a game, while Jenkins – a First Team All-MEAC selection – was
fifth in the nation with just over seven assists a contest.
McMillian, who led the MEAC with 82 3-pointers, was named Second
Team All-MEAC.
Burgess oversaw a talented backcourt in 2010-11, one that included
First Team All-MEAC selection Jenkins – who led the team in scoring
and finished the season second in
the nation in assists per game (7.0).
She also coached McMillian and
Hamilton.
In her first year with the Lady Pirates, Burgess was reunited with
senior guard Whitney Hill, who also
played for Burgess at Phoebus.
Burgess helped guide Hill to her
lone MEAC Tournament crown, as
the Lady Pirates went 20-12 and 124 in conference play. Sophomore
guard Bernadette Fortune averaged 9.5 points a game last season,
earning Second Team All-MEAC honors.
Prior to coming to Norfolk State, Burgess spent six years (2002-08) as
the head girls basketball coach at Phoebus High School in Hampton,
Va. The Phantoms were 73-67 in her tenure, making three trips to the
Eastern Region tournament. During her tenure at Phoebus, Burgess
coached against David Six, who was the head girls basketball coach at
Peninsula District rival Hampton High School.
Before coming to Phoebus, Burgess was the first woman to lead the
women’s basketball program at Virginia Union University. She coached
at VUU from 1999 through 2001, going 13-39 in that span.
From 1992-99, Burgess was the head girls basketball coach at Huguenot High School in Richmond, Va. She was named Dominion District
Coach of the Year in 1997 after leading Huguenot to a 14-9 record. The
following year, the Lady Falcons were runners-up in the Dominion District Tournament.
In her 14 years as a high school head coach, Burgess mentored several
players who have gone on to play at the collegiate level, including former Howard University standout Essence Coggins (Huguenot) and former Lady Pirate Hill (Phoebus).
From 2005-08, Burgess served as the head coach for the 16-and-under
team of the Boo Williams Summer League. Her team won the Christopher Newport University Team Camp championship in 2005 and had a
runner-up finish in 2008.
Burgess was a four-year Black College All-American at Delaware State
University from 1985-89. She was named to the MEAC All-Rookie team
and ended her career with the Lady Hornets as the school’s No. 2 alltime leading scorer with 1,807 points. As a sophomore, she led the team
in scoring (17.9 points a game) and rebounding (7.3 rebounds a contest)
and was named to the All-MEAC First Team.
She also led Delaware State in scoring as a junior with 17.1 points per
game and earned All-MEAC First Team honors. She was Delaware
State’s Female Athlete of the Year in 1988-89 and led the Lady Hornets
to the 1989 MEAC Tournament Championship Game.
Burgess graduated from
Delaware State in 1990 with
a bachelor’s degree in health
and physical education and
was inducted to the Delaware State Athletic Hall of
Fame in 2000. She also
received her master’s degree
in sports management from
California (Pa.) University.
Burgess is a native of Richmond, Va. and is a member
of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
2014-15 HAMPTON UNIVERSITY LADY PIRATES
ASSISTANT COACHES BRIAN DAVIS & TIM VALENTINE
Brain Davis is entering his sixth season as an
assistant coach with the Hampton University
women’s basketball team after a three-year stint
as a high school coach in Alabama. Davis is
primarily in charge of guard development for the
Lady Pirates.
Davis was a part of yet another championship
effort in 2013-14, as the Lady Pirates again won
28 games and took their fifth straight MEAC
Tournament title – an unprecedented feat in the
history of the conference. Along the way, senior

honors.
Tate-DeFreitas averaged 18.1 points per game in 2013-14, while Hamilton averaged

2014-15 HAMPTON UNIVERSITY LADY PIRATES
BASKETBALL SEASON OUTLOOK
The Hampton University women’s basketball program
made history in 2013-14, winning its fourth straight
MEAC regular-season title and unprecedented fifth
straight MEAC Tournament championship. Along the
way, the Lady Pirates racked up 28 wins (tying a program Div. I record) and made yet another NCAA
Tournament appearance – this time as a No. 12 seed
against Michigan State.
Head coach David Six was named MEAC Coach of
the Year for the third time, while senior forward Alyssa
Bennett was named MEAC Defensive Player of the
Year for the second straight year and freshman guard
Malia Tate-DeFreitas was named MEAC Rookie of
the Year.
“We came up short in the NCAA Tournament; obviously, the season didn’t end the way we wanted it to,”
Six said, “but overall, I thought we had a very solid
season.”
If the Lady Pirates are to make it six in a row, they’ll do so without Bennett and guard Nicole Hamilton, two pillars of the program’s recent success. But it’s not like the cupboard is bare at the Convocation Center;
Six returns Tate-DeFreitas, as well as a number of other key contributors from 2013-14. In addition, Hampton brings in seven newcomers and
a new assistant coach in Tim Valentine (by way of Georgetown).
So the question for 2014-15 becomes: can the streak continue? And
what history will be made along the way?
RETURNERS
It’s not often a freshman is a cornerstone for a program, but that’s exactly what Tate-DeFreitas (Harrisburg, Pa.) was in 2013-14. The MEAC
Rookie of the Year led the team and ranked fourth in the conference in
scoring, averaging 18.1 points per contest. She reached the 20-point
mark 10 times in her first season, and twice she eclipsed 30 points –
including a career-best 36 points against Utah State on Nov. 29.
In addition, Tate-DeFreitas was named Second Team All-MEAC, the
Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) Rookie of the Year, and
VaSID Second Team All-State.
Junior Ryan Jordan (Manassas, Va.) will also return to the Lady Pirates backcourt, coming off a
2013-14 season in which she averaged 3.7 points
and 4.1 rebounds a game. Jordan scored in double
figures twice last season, tying her career high of 13
points against Florida A&M on Dec. 7.
Also returning to Hampton’s backcourt in 2014-15:
junior Blake Jenkines (Clarksville, Tenn.) and
sophomore Bayley Coleman-Cox (Durham, N.C.).
The Lady Pirates will have an experienced duo in
the frontcourt, led by redshirt junior forward Brielle
Ward (Baltimore, Md.). Ward was second on the
team and fourth in the MEAC in rebounding last
season, averaging 6.1 per contest. She grabbed
double-digit rebounds 13 times, including a careerhigh and school-record 23 against Virginia Tech.
Ward also recorded her only double-double of the season, with 10 points
and 10 rebounds, in the MEAC Tournament championship game against
Coppin State.
Redshirt junior forward Tyler Hobgood (Oxford, N.C.) also returns to the
Hampton frontcourt, coming off a 2013-14 campaign in which she played
in 21 games, made two starts, and averaged 3.5 rebounds per game.
The Miami transfer grabbed a season-best nine rebounds against Maryland Eastern Shore on Feb. 10, and her season high of seven points
came against Morgan State on Jan. 20.
NEWCOMERS
Of the seven newcomers currently on the Lady Pirates roster, four of
them come from other Div. I schools. Senior guard Kyani White
(Manassas, Va.) transferred over from East Carolina, while junior guard
Kristine Rose (Miramar, Fla.) comes over from Xavier and redshirtjunior forward Lindsay Williams (Bowie, Md.) was at Mount St. Mary’s
before heading to Anne Arundel Community College. In addition, senior
guard Jackie Marshall (Hackensack, N.J.) played at Iona.
Williams averaged 15.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game last season
for Anna Arundel, earning All-Conference honors, while Rose played in
seven games for Xavier in 2012-13. Six anticipates that White will spend
much of the season running point.
“There will be a few new faces that people don’t know,” Six said, “but we
bring back Malia, who was fantastic for us last season, our leading
