The Stephen F. Austin State University athletic teams have been known as the Lumberjacks since the school was established in 1923. The nickname was chosen during a school assembly soon after classes began that first year, submitted by SFA English professor T.E. Ferguson, who said he found the name appropriate for a school surrounded by the forest. The women's teams adopted the name Ladyjacks in the late 1930s, a name selected by June Irwin and Lucille Norton, two of SFA's pioneers in women's athletics.
