ON THE HORIZONThe Red Raiders resume Big 12 play next weekend in the state cap-ital where Texas Tech will battle in-state rival Texas in a three-game series that begins with a 4:30 p.m. first pitch on April 4. Tech returns to Rocky Johnson Field the following weekend to host Oklahoma State in a three-game series that runs April 11-13.

BAYLOR ALL-TIME SERIESTexas Tech trails 31-12 in the overall series with Baylor that dates back to the start of the Big 12 Conference in 1996. The Red Raiders managed to win the series in Baylor’s last visit to Lubbock as Tech claimed a 6-5 victory in the rubber match. Baylor responded a year ago by winning two of three games in Waco. The Bears are 15-4 all-time when traveling to Lubbock to face the Red Raiders, who have won three of the last five games in the Hub City. Tech head coach Shanon Hays is 4-6 all-time against Baylor, including a 2-3 mark in games played in Lubbock.

TEXAS TECH IN BIG 12 CONFERENCE SERIES OPENERSThe Red Raiders are opening Big 12 play at home for the sixth time in the last eight years this weekend when Texas Tech hosts No. 12 Baylor at Rocky Johnson Field. Tech dropped the final two games of last season’s conference opener at Oklahoma State which moved the Red Raiders to 10-26 all-time in Big 12 opening series. The Red Raiders last opened league play at home in 2011, falling in both games of a two-game series with No. 13 Missouri. Tech has not opened its conference slate against Baylor since 2006 when the then 19th-ranked Bears took a pair of 1-0 and 4-0 victories in Waco. The Red Raiders are 0-8 all-time when opening Big 12 play against Baylor as the two teams also met during the 1999, 2002 and 2005 seasons.

RED RAIDERS AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTSTexas Tech will be facing a ranked opponent for the first time this season against 13th-ranked Baylor. The Red Raiders are 55-217 all-time in games against top-25 foes, including a 19-44 mark during Shanon Hays’ tenure. Tech defeated No. 15 Baylor, 6-4, to close the 2013 season in what was its last meeting against a ranked oppo-nent. The Red Raiders have defeated at least one top-25 foe in each of the previous four seasons under Hays.

RED RAIDERS HEAD INTO BAYLOR SERIES RIDING 13-GAME HOME WINNING STREAKTexas Tech enters this weekend’s Big 12 opening series looking to extend its 13-game home winning streak that is its longest since early in the 2011 season when the Red Raiders rolled off 19-straight victories from Feb. 18 to April 9. The Red Raiders are 13-1 at Rocky Johnson Field this season and 87-33 all-time under fifth-year head coach Shanon Hays. Tech’s current 13-game home winning streak is the longest active run among Big 12 Conference schools.

RED RAIDERS CLOSING IN ON FIFTH-STRAIGHT 30 WIN SEASON UNDER HAYSTexas Tech is quickly closing in on the 30-win mark entering this weekend as the Red Raiders are 27-9 overall heading their Big 12 opener with No. 12 Baylor. The level of success Tech has achieved under fifth-year head coach Shanon Hays has been impressive as the Red Raiders are one of just three Big 12 programs to record at least 30 wins in each of the past four seasons, joining both Oklahoma and Texas. Hays, who inherited a 15-42 team a year prior to his arrival, could become just the third Big 12 coach all-time to win at least 30 games in each of the first five seasons at a respective school. He would join the likes of Patty Gasso (Oklahoma) and Glenn Moore (Baylor) as the only coaches to do so in the conference’s existence. Prior to his arrival in 2010, the Red Raiders had recorded just four 30-win seasons in school history.

AUCOIN HONORED AS BIG 12 PITCHER OF THE WEEKTexas Tech sophomore Gretchen Aucoin became the third Red Raider to receive a conference weekly award on Tuesday as she was named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week after her dominating performance against both North Texas and Texas State. Aucoin went 1-0 with a 0.93 ERA in 15.0 innings last week where she surrendered just two runs while striking out an im-pressive 26 hitters during that span. The Ocean Springs, Miss. native opened the week with her third complete game of the season as she allowed just one run off six hits while striking out a career-high 13 hitters against North Texas last Wednesday. Her 13 strikeouts marked the most for a Tech pitcher since Amanda Renfro fanned a school record 15 hitters twice during the 2001 season. Aucoin came on in relief to records saves in both series finales, giving her an NCAA-leading five now on the season. Her save against Texas State on Saturday snapped both the Tech single-season and career records.

RED RAIDERS TURNING INTO OWN VERSION OF CARDIAC KIDSTexas Tech’s ability to bounce back from early deficits could not have been more apparent than last week in series wins over both North Texas and Texas State. The Red Raiders trailed in four of their five games before rallying in dramatic fashion to improve to 27-9 on the season. Lea Hopson kick started Tech’s stretch of rallies with a solo home run in the sixth inning last Wednesday that propelled the Red Raiders to a 5-4 victory over North Texas in the doubleheader finale. Tech was forced to rally again in its series opener with Texas State as the Red Raiders won off a bases-loaded walk to Kristi Belshe in the bottom of the seventh. Gretchen Aucoin wrapped the successful week with a fifth-inning grand slam, the first of her career, that helped the Red Raiders overcome a 3-1 deficit in the series finale. Tech has won a total of six games this year when trailing or tied after four innings.

THIS WEEK IN THE BIG 12

SPEED KILLS - TEXAS TECH APPROACHING STOLEN BASE AND TRIPLES RECORDSPrior to this season, Texas Tech head coach said his team would be different than years past as the Red Raiders would have speed across the diamond. Through 36 games, his preseason statement could not be more true as the Red Raiders are closing on both the Tech single-season record for stolen bases and triples. Backed by a Big 12-leading 28 stolen bases from freshman Sydni Emanuel, Tech needs just 10 more stolen bases as a team to match the school record of 81 from the 2001 season. Emanuel is six stolen bases from tying the individual record herself which was set by Ashley Parker in 2006. Eight different Red Raiders, meanwhile, have recorded a triple this year, giving Tech 15 already this year which is two shy of the school record from 1997. The Red Raiders lead the Big 12 in both categories this season and rank among the top-20 teams nationally in both categories as well.

EMANUEL ALREADY NEARING SINGLE-SEASON STOLEN BASE RECORDSydni Emanuel could possibly break the Texas Tech single-season stolen base record early in Big 12 play as the Texas Tech fresman has totaled a conference-leading 28 heading into this weekend. Emanuel, who missed the entire Texas State series, is six stolen bases shy of Ashley Parker’s school from the 2006 season. The Missouri City, Texas native already ranks second in school history with as she is one of just three Red Raiders all-time to total 20 stolen bases in season, joining both Parker and Sandy Butler. Emanuel is the Big 12 leader in the category and ranks eighth nationally in stolen bases per game entering this week.

AUCOIN REMAINS AMONG BIG 12 LEADERS IN ERAGretchen Aucoin continues to show why she is among the Big 12 leaders in ERA this season following after a dominating performance last week against both North Texas and Texas State. Aucoin improved to 8-3 on the season with her victory in the opener against North Texas where she allowed just one run in her third complete game this year. The Ocean Springs, Miss. native enters this weekend ranked second in the Big 12 with a 1.18 ERA as she has allowed more than two earned runs in a game just once this year - March 7 in an 8-4 victory over New Mexico State. Aucoin struck out a career-high 13 hitters against the Mean Green as she is averaging an impressive 8.27 per game this year. The sophomore, who has also totaled 13 RBI at the plate in the past 11 games, ranks among the league leaders in most pitching categories.

EMANUEL NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEKSydni Emanuel was named the Big 12 Player of the Week on March 18 after hitting .565 (13-for-23) at the Titans Classic and San Diego State Classic (does not include Harvard game). She is just the second Red Raider freshman to ever garner a con-ference weekly award, joining Amanda Renfro, who was honored as the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week twice in 1998. Emanuel finished with two or more hits in four of six games, including a 4-for-4 performance in the Titans Classic finale against host Cal State Fullerton last Friday. The Missouri City, Texas native totaled a .583 on-base percentage and frustrated opponents on the base paths from there, stealing nine bases to bump her season total to a conference-leading 28 already this season. Emanuel stole at least one base in all six games, including two in three-consecutive games against UNLV, Fullerton and Long Beach State.

TALLEY MATCHES BEST START TO A SEASON SINCE 2011Brittany Talley matched her best start to a season at the Titans Classic as the southpaw improved to 8-0 on the year with her victory over host Cal State Fullerton. The undefeated record matched Talley’s previous best start to a season from 2011 when she opened her collegiate career 8-0 as well. Talley ended 2011 with a 14-7 overall record which marked her most wins in a season so far in her career. Talley’s undefeated run came to an end on March 17 with a 6-0 loss to Harvard where she allowed only one earned run over the first four innings. Her 1.73 earned-run average ranks sixth in the Big 12 entering this weekend as she has allowed just 18 earned runs in 72.2 innings this year.

TAPIA CLOSES OUT IMPRESSIVE TWO WEEKS AT THE PLATE Few Red Raiders were hotter at the plate to start the month of March than Sydnie Tapia. The sophomore hit .531 during her career-best 12 game hitting streak that ran from March 1-16. It marked the second-longest hitting streak for a Red Raider this season, falling just one game shy of Sydni Emanuel’s run from earlier this year. Tapia connected on three of her four home runs this season during that stretch while also driving in 12 RBI. She posted five multiple-hit games during the streak which ended against San Diego State. The Arlington, Texas native also had three multiple-RBI games, including a three RBI performance against Abilene Christian on March 9 which matched her career high.

FRESHMEN CONTINUE TO DELIVER MIDWAY THROUGH FIRST SEASONPrior to the season, Texas Tech head coach Shanon Hays knew he would have to rely on his 11 freshmen to boost the Red Raider throughout the offense. Through 36 games, the freshmen have delivered with Sydni Emanuel, Cassie McClure and Kierra Miles all hitting above .300 while combining for 70 of Tech’s 184 RBI. The freshman class has totaled 14 home runs as well in their first experience to Division-I pitching. Hays has turned to eight different freshmen in his starting lineup entering this weekend.

HAYS BECOMES LONGEST TENURED COACH IN PROGRAM HISTORYAlready the winningest coach in program history, Texas Tech skipper Shanon Hays added another career achievement to his resume during the Red Raiders’ trip to California. The fifth-year head coach passed Renee-Luers-Gillespie as the longest tenured Tech coach all-time. Hays passed Gillespie’s previous mark of 255 games from the 1996-2000 seasons as he has now led the Red Raiders in 261 contests entering this weekend. Hays previously passed Bobby Reeves’ 235 games coached earlier this season to move into sole possession of second place.

WELBORN MAKES TRANSITION TO BEHIND THE PLATESusan Welborn was mainly a pitcher or first baseman throughout her high school career at Birdville High School in the Dallas area. Already this year, the freshman has transitioned to the outfield, starting three games in either left or right field. Welborn moved behind the plate for the first time in her career on Feb. 28 as she was Texas Tech’s starting catcher against Rhode Island. She earned the start behind the plate again the following day against Sam Houston State. It was the first time Welborn had ever appeared at catcher in high school or travel ball. Welborn, who threw out the only runner that attempted to steal last weekend, gives Tech additional depth behind the plate with fellow freshman Brittany Lee and sophomore Kady Crow.

FULTZ DELIVERS IN FIRST CAREER START Ashley Fultz made the most of her first career start on Feb. 28 as the freshman belted a key three-run homer against Rhode Island in Texas Tech’s 5-0 victory over the Rams. It was the first career home run for Fultz, who has five RBI already this season as Texas Tech’s usual top pinch hitting candidate. Fultz is one of four Red Raider freshmen to homer already this season, joining Cassie McClure, Kierra Miles and Sydni Emanuel.

AUCOIN RECORDS DOMINATING PERFORMANCE IN ARLINGTONGretchen’s Aucoin 2-1 record in the UTA Hilton Invitational really doesn’t show how dominate the sophomore was in the circle. Aucoin appeared in four of Texas Tech’s five games on the weekend, tossing 19.0 total innings where she allowed just one earned run while striking out 26 hitters. In the Saturday doubleheader against Illinois and Creighton, Aucoin combined for 10.0 innings, surrendering just two unearned runs off three hits. She started off the day with eight strikeouts in four innings of relief to pick up the extra-innings win over Illinois. She followed up by returning to the circle 30 minutes later to match her career high with nine strikeouts in a 1-0 loss to Creighton. Aucoin enters this weekend as the Big 12 leader with a 0.76 ERA as she has allowed just four earned runs in 36.2 innings this season.

TALLEY NAMED BIG 12 PITCHER OF THE WEEK AFTER DOMINATING OPENING WEEKENDTexas Tech senior left-hander Brittany Talley was named the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 11 after her dom-inating performance at the Lions Classic. Talley powered Tech to its first win of the season with a two-hit, complete game shutout of Nicholls State on Friday night and then followed up by tossing 4.1 shutout innings two days later against Texas Southern. The Little Elm, Texas native was the only Big 12 pitcher with at least 10 innings pitched to not allow a single run, earned or unearned, last weekend. Talley also matched her career high with seven strikeouts against Nicholls State before finishing the weekend with 11 while holding opponents to just a .154 batting average.

JUNIOR COLLEGE TRANSFERS PAYING OFF FOR RED RAIDERSSince Shanon Hays’ arrival at Texas Tech in 2010, the Red Raiders have found success with junior college players, recruiting the likes of Logan Hall, Adriana Perez, Raven Richardson among others. Through 24 games, Tech’s current class of junior col-lege transfers have boosted the Red Raiders both offensively and defensively with Lea Hopson at second base, Kristi Belshe in left field and Kady Crow appearing behind the plate. Hopson, a College of Southern Idaho transfer, is among the Big 12

TEXAS TECH IN NCAA STATS

leaders with six home runs this season while hitting .313 with 24 RBI. Belshe, meanwhile, leads Tech with seven multiple-RBI games this year en route to hitting .308 with 21 RBI. Crow’s impact has been felt most defensively as she has started behind the plate 10 times already this season. Belshe and Hopson arrived at Tech after earning NJCAA All-American honors in 2013.

#6THISWith almost a brand new roster and a slew of freshmen, it was quite understandable when Texas Tech was predicted to finish sixth in the Big 12 preseason poll. Well, it was understandable for everyone outside the Red Raider dugout as Tech quickly adopted the motto “6This” for the 2014 season. The motto should be a driving force for the Red Raiders, who after finishing 30-26 in 2013, will be looking to return to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in the past five seasons.

RED RAIDERS BOAST LARGEST FRESHMEN CLASS IN SCHOOL HISTORYIn order to get back to the postseason, Texas Tech head coach Shanon Hays will have to rely on the largest freshmen class in school history. The 11-member freshmen class breaks the previous school record of eight freshmen from both the 2004 and 2010 seasons. It is also the largest freshmen class in the Big 12 this season as Tech has four more freshmen then Texas and five more than Baylor, Kansas and Oklahoma State. The group will be expected to not just fill a few roles but make an impact early as Tech tries to replace all three positions in the outfield along with holes at first base and catcher as well.

TEXAS TECH RANKS THIRD IN WINS UNDER HAYSSuccess has been no stranger to the Red Raiders under Shanon Hays. Under the Lubbock native, the Red Raiders have flour-ished, winning 151 games in four seasons which already makes Hays the winningest coach in program history. Texas Tech’s success during this stretch has lifted the program from the bottom of the Big 12 Conference standings as the Red Raiders are tied with Baylor as the third-winningest school the past four seasons. Tech is one of just three conference teams to record four straight 30-win seasons, joining the likes of Oklahoma and Texas.

HAYS AND OLD FRIEND REUNITE Texas Tech head coach Shanon Hays will have a longtime friend along his side throughout the 2014 season as Greg “Emo” Ev-ans joined the staff this past summer as an assistant coach. Evans, who previously spent nine seasons as the associate head baseball coach at Oklahoma State, will be responsible primarily for the Tech infield which, after setting the school record for fewest errors in 2012, struggled through portions of last season. Considered one of the top infield coaches nationally, Evans helped produce several of the top defenses in the country during his 25 seasons as a collegiate baseball coach. He will look to do the same in his first stint in softball as he inherits an infield scattered with freshmen but also with a pair of returnees in Samantha Camello and Sydnie Tapia. The Boyle, Miss. native coached Shanon Hays when he was first started his collegiate career as an assistant at Lubbock Christian. He would later move crosstown to Tech where he spent a total of nine seasons under longtime baseball coach Larry Hays, father of Shanon Hays. The Red Raiders experienced their most success in pro-gram history during that time with seven 40-win seasons and six trips to the NCAA Tournament.

EVANS ONE OF TWO NEW FACES IN THE TECH DUGOUT THIS SEASONGreg Evans isn’t the only new face in the Texas Tech dugout this season as former Mississippi Valley State assistant coach Brooke Reed joined the program this fall as the new director of operations. Evans and Reed complete a staff that includes head coach Shanon Hays, associate head coach Aly Sartini and volunteer assistant Holley Gentsch, who was promoted from a graduate assistant position into a coaching role this season. Sandy Wellman, formerly James, will replace Gentsch as the program’s graduate assistant after completing her eligibility a year ago.

CAMELLO RETURNS UP THE MIDDLE AFTER STELLAR FRESHMAN SEASONFollowing an impressive debut in 2013, Samantha Camello will be looking for more of the same this season after hitting .311 while starting in all 56 games a year ago. The Temecula, Calif. native became only the sixth starting freshmen in school history to hit over .300 in her rookie campaign, joining the likes of Mikey Kenney (2010), Stephanie Drewry (2009), Ashley Parker (2004), Sandy Butler (1998) and Paula Workman (1997). Camello, who split time between shortstop and second base as a freshman, led a powerful Tech offense during Big 12 play with a .275 average while playing in one of the nation’s top pitching conferences. She will likely be Texas Tech’s opening day shortstop for the second-straight season.

RED RAIDERS TO BE POWERED IN THE CIRCLETexas Tech associate head coach Aly Sartini will have possibly the deepest and most experienced pitching staff of her tenure this season as the Red Raiders return a pair of veterans in senior Brittany Talley and junior Cara Custer along with expe-rienced sophomore Gretchen Aucoin. The staff will get an added boost, though, from the emergence of junior Chandler Moore, who, according to Sartini, had the best fall of her collegiate career. The four returners represent 94 percent of Tech’s total innings from 2013 and 29 of the 30 victories from a year ago as well. They will be joined in the circle by freshman Cassie McClure, the reigning Texas 4A-5A Player of the Year, and redshirt freshman Mattison Maisel.

TEXAS TECH SET FOR 24 GAMES AT ROCKY JOHNSON FIELDTexas Tech fans will have plenty of opportunities to catch the Red Raiders at Rocky Johnson Field this year with 24 home games set for the 2014 season. After three weekends on the road to start the season, Tech opens its home slate Feb. 28 with a doubleheader against Sam Houston State and Rhode Island as part of the Texas Tech Invitational, the first of two home tournaments for the Red Raiders. Tech will also host the fourth- annual Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic on March 7-9, bringing in the likes of UT Arlington, Northern Colorado, Abilene Christian and New Mexico State. Following a nearly week-long trip to Southern California, Tech closes its non-conference slate with a March 19 doubleheader against North Texas and a three-game set with Texas State. The two series begin an eight-game homestand for the Red Raiders, who will open Big 12 Conference play March 28 at home against Baylor. Tech will also host home series with Oklahoma State and Iowa State.

MEDIA INFORMATION RED RAIDERS ADD PAIR OF NJCAA ALL-AMERICANS IN BELSHE, HOPSONSimilar to years past, Texas Tech once again turned to the junior college level during the offseason to fill needs around the di-amond, bringing in four transfers including two NJCAA All-Americans in Lea Hopson and Kristi Belshe. Hopson, who starred the past two seasons at College of Southern Idaho, was among the top junior college hitters around the country as she hit .431 in 2013 with 12 home runs and 46 RBI. Belshe, meanwhile, led the NJCAA with a .590 batting average in 2013 while playing for Lake Land College in Illinois. Belshe was also the national leader in hits (111) and on-base percentage as well (.645) while also ranking third in doubles (26), runs scored (94) and slugging percentage (1.005). The pair mark the seventh and eighth junior college All-Americans to sign with Tech under Shanon Hays. 2013 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL NEWCOMERS Name POS YEAR Hometown Kaylyn Archuleta C Jr Alamagordo, N.M.

CUSTER, TALLEY HEAD INTO 2014 ALREADY AMONG THE TEXAS TECH ALL-TIME GREATSMost programs throughout the country would likely feel fortunate to have one pitcher making her way up the school’s career record book. Texas Tech is fortunate, though, to have two in senior Brittany Talley and junior Cara Custer. The two pitchers have worked the majority of innings for the Red Raiders the past two seasons and will continue to be mainstays in the circle yet again this season.

POWELL & TALLEY DESTINED FOR SUCCESS OUTSIDE SOFTBALLOne thing is certain after the 2014 season - Texas Tech will have a pair of seniors destined for success. The only two four-year seniors on the Tech roster, Brittany Talley and Taylor Powell are scheduled to receive their degrees this spring with Talley earning hers in chemical engineering while Powell will graduate as an animal sciences major. While highly successful on the diamond, the pair also sport two of the highest grade-point averages on the team. Talley, a native of Little Elm, Texas, enters this semester with a 3.8 GPA and has already accepted a position with Oxy, an international oil company. Powell, meanwhile, has registered a perfect 4.0 GPA entering her final semester and will look to attend veterinarian school following graduation.

RED RAIDERS PICKED SIXTH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLLTexas Tech was selected to finish sixth in the Big 12 Preseason Poll that was voted upon by the conference coaches.
