Now in her thirteenth year as the Lady Saluqis'
head coach, Andrea Martre is Southwest’s all-time winningest coach
with a 203-121 record, including an outstanding 51-3 over the past
two seasons. In 2007-08, Martre guided her team to a 25-1 record and
a number four national ranking after going 26-2 with a number 13
national ranking in 2006-07. In 2000-01, Coach Martre guided the
Lady Saluqis to a 22-9 record and a trip to the NJCAA Tournament,
the team's first national tournament appearance since 1990. Martre
has turned the Lady Saluqis into one of the hardest working and
tenacious teams in not only the state of Tennessee, but the entire
country.
In her tenure at Southwest, Martre has been selected TJCCAA Coach of
the Year three times (including 2007) and Region VII Coach of the
Year once. Twenty-nine of Martre's players have earned All-West
Division honors and sixteen have made the All-TJCCAA team. In
addition, she has coached five All-Americans (Myquita Mackey, Amie
Williams, Ashley Shields, Candace Rucker, and Starkitsha Luellen)
and one academic All-American (Torre Thomas).
Martre has been able to bring in young women with the talent to not
only run her intricate system, but also be dedicated
student-athletes who have enhanced the Southwest Tennessee
reputation for developing the whole person. More than 85 percent of
her players have earned a degree from Southwest or transferred to
another college or university to continue their education.
A native of Memphis, Martre is a 1985 graduate of Fairley High
School, where she was named team MVP and all-district. At Shelby
State, Andrea started at guard for coach Herbert Wright, and helped
lead the Lady Saluqis to a 27-5 record and a national tournament
appearance in 1986-87. Andrea still holds the Lady Saluqis' career
record for steals with 184. After Shelby State, she transferred to
Edinboro University, where she was a standout guard for two seasons.
Martre held the school and state record for assists in a single
season with 238 from 1990-2005. She was also named to Edinboro’s
All-Time Women’s Basketball Team in June, 2007.
Martre is a single mother, with one daughter, Monique McConnell (age
16).
