LITTLE ROCK — UALR athletic director Chasse Conque has signed a new contract that runs through June 2020.

The team went 30-5 and scored the Trojans' first NCAA Tournament win in 30 years by knocking off Purdue in double overtime in the first round.
UALR sayid overall department revenue increased by 30 percent in 2015-2016, and all athletic teams qualified for their respective Sun Belt Conference postseason tournaments.
