PLAYER HONORS CARA CUSTER Preseason All-Big 12 Second Team (College Sports Madness) SYDNI EMANUEL Big 12 Player of the Week (March 18) BRITTANY TALLEY Big 12 Pitcher of the Week (Feb. 11)

ON THE HORIZON The Red Raiders conclude their eight-game homestand next weekend with the start of Big 12 Conference play against No. 12 Baylor. The Baylor series marks the sixth time in the last seven seasons where Texas Tech has opened league play at Rocky Johnson Field. The three-game series is set to begin with a 7 p.m. first pitch on March 28.

INSIDE THE TEXAS STATE SERIES Texas Tech will be continuing its long-term series with Texas State on Friday as the two school will be meeting on the softball diamond for the third-straight season. The Red Raiders are 18-12 all-time against the Bobcats and 2-1 under head coach Shanon Hays. Despite controlling the series, Tech is just 3-5 against Texas State when hosting the Bobcats in Lubbock. This will be Texas State’s first trip to Lubbock since the 2008 season when Tech swept an April 8 doubleheader with 6-2 and 8-6 victories. The Red Raiders topped Texas State, 6-1, during last season’s Texas Shootout that was hosted by the Bobcats.

RED RAIDERS LOOK TO CONTINUE SUCCESS AGAINST NON-CONFERENCE FOES Texas Tech has traditionally found success in home non-conference games under head coach Shanon Hays as the Red Raiders are 70-6 in such contests over his four-plus seasons. Hays boasts an impressive .921 winning percentage when facing non-conference opponents at Rocky Johnson Field. Tech heads into this weekend riding a 10-game home winning streak that is its longest since winning 19-straight early in the 2011 season.

RECAPPING THE NORTH TEXAS DOUBLEHEADER • Texas Tech extended its home winning streak to 10-straight games with 5-1 and 5-4 victories over North Texas on Wednesday night at Rocky Johnson Field. It was the first time the Red Raiders had swept a same-day doubleheader since topping Manhattan twice on March 17, 2012, during the Seton Hall Classic.

• Gretchen Aucoin opened the doubleheader with her third complete game of the season as the right-hander fanned a career-high 13 hitters, marking what is believed to be the most strikeouts for a Texas Tech pitcher since Amanda Renfro matched her own school record with 15 strikeouts against Georgia Southern on March 10, 2001.

• Aucoin return to the circle in the finale, striking out the side in the seventh for her fourth save of the season. She tied the Texas Tech single-season and career records with the save. Aucoin ended the night with her final eight outs in the two outings coming via the strikeout.

• Lea Hopson pushed Texas Tech to a 5-4 victory in the finale with a two-out solo home run in the sixth inning. It was Hopson’s team-leading sixth home run of the season which capped a 2-for-3 game at the plate as she also had a triple earlier in the game.

• The third inning was especially kind for the Red Raiders against North Texas as Texas Tech plated four runs in the frame during both games. The Red Raiders have now scored four or more runs in an inning 13 times this season, going a perfect 13-0 in those games.

AUCOIN REMAINS AMONG BIG 12 LEADERS IN ERA Gretchen Aucoin continues to show why she is among the Big 12 leaders in ERA this season following Wednesday night’s showing against North Texas. Aucoin improved to 8-3 on the season with her victory in the opener 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 1.20 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 8.10 per game this year. The sophomore, who has also totaled eight RBI at the plate in the past eight games, ranks among the league leaders in innings pitched, strikeouts, appearances, saves and opponent batting average.

EMANUEL NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK Sydni Emanuel was named the Big 12 Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon after hitting .565 last weekend (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 conference 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 last weekend, 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. She ended the weekend ranked as the Big 12 leader for hits, runs scored, stolen bases and triples. She is also second in the league with a .447 batting average and third with 62 total bases.

RED RAIDERS ON PACE TO SHATTER STOLEN BASES RECORD After stealing 20 bases alone during their seven-game road trip to California, the Red Raiders are well on pace to break the Texas Tech single-season record of 81 stolen bases from 2001. Tech leads the Big 12 and ranks among the top-20 teams nationally with 66 stolen bases as the Red Raiders have taken on a new dimension this season on the base paths. Sydni Emanuel and Lea Hopson have combined for 46 of Tech’s 66 stolen bases with 28 of those coming from Emanuel, who leads the Big 12 in the category and ranks fifth nationally in stolen bases per game entering this week. The Red Raiders have benefited from additional speed throughout its lineup and on its bench as 11 different players have at least one stolen base this season. Tech is in contention to possibly rank among the best base stealing teams in Big 12 history as well as the Red Raiders need 53 more stolen bases to enter the top 10 in the conference record book.

EMANUEL ALREADY CLOSING IN ON SINGLE-SEASON STOLEN BASE RECORD Sydni Emanuel could possibly break the Texas Tech single-season stolen base record before Big 12 play even begins next weekend. Emanuel has three games this week to steal six bases which would match Ashley Parker’s single-season record of 34 from the 2006 season. The Missouri City, Texas native already ranks second in single-season school history with 28 stolen bases through just 31 games. She is the Big 12 leader in the category and ranked fifth nationally in stolen bases per game enter this week.

TALLEY MATCHES BEST START TO A SEASON SINCE 2011 Brittany Talley matched her best start to a season last weekend at the Titans Classic as the southpaw improved to 8-0 on the year with last Saturday’s 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 Monday with a 6-0 loss to Harvard where she allowed only one earned run over the first four innings. Her 1.77 earned-run average ranks eighth in the Big 12 entering this weekend as she has allowed just 17 earned runs in 67.1 innings this year.

AUCOIN, CUSTER TIE TEXAS TECH CAREER MARK FOR SAVES In little less than a week, both Cara Custer and Gretchen Aucoin has tied the Texas Tech career mark for saves after Custer totaled last Saturday against both UNLV and Cal State Fullerton and Aucoin closed Wednesday night’s 5-4 victory over North Texas. The pair both have six saves now over their careers, matching the school mark that was previously set by a trio of players - Amanda Renfro (1998-01), Erin Crawford (2003-06) and Julie Hauck (2004-06). Fellow teammate Brittany Talley is just one save shy of the record as well as she has totaled five over her career entering this weekend.

2014 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL TAPIA CLOSES OUT IMPRESSIVE TWO WEEKS AT THE PLATE Over the past two weeks, few Red Raiders have been hotter at the plate 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 this past Sunday 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 SEASON Prior 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 31 games, the freshmen have delivered with Sydni Emanuel, Cassie McClure and Kierra Miles all hitting above .300 while combining for 64 of Tech’s 169 RBI. The freshman class has totaled 12 home runs as well in their first experience to Division-I pitching. Hays has turned to seven different freshmen in his starting lineup entering this weekend.

NEWS & NOTES FROM AROUND THE DIAMOND • Texas Tech saw its 12-game winning streak come to an end Sunday afternoon with a 4-1 loss to Long Beach State. It was previously the longest winning streak since the Red Raiders won 13-straight from March 12-April 1, 2012.

• Texas Tech enters this weekend riding a 10-game home winning streak that is its longest since winning a school record 19 straight from Feb. 18-March 1, 2011.

• Texas Tech has pitched by committee for most of this season as its seven saves are already the most in school history. The Red Raiders previously totaled six saves three times in 2005, 2006 and 2011.

HAYS BECOMES LONGEST TENURED COACH IN PROGRAM HISTORY Already 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.

Already this year, the freshman has transitioned to the outfield, starting three games in either left or right field. Last Friday, Welborn moved behind the plate for the first time in her career 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 last Friday 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 ARLINGTON Gretchen’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 WEEKEND Texas Tech senior left-hander Brittany Talley was named the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week this past Tuesday after her dominating 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 RAIDERS Since 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 college 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 leaders with four home runs this season while hitting .281 with 13 RBI. Belshe, meanwhile, leads Tech with six multiple-RBI games this year en route to hitting .293 with 16 RBI. Crow’s impact has been felt most defensively as she has started behind the plate six times already this season. Belshe and Hopson arrived at Tech after earning NJCAA All-American honors in 2013. #6THIS With 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 HISTORY In 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.

Under the Lubbock native, the Red Raiders have flourished, 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.

Iowa State 82 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” Evans 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 program 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 SEASON Greg 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 SEASON Following 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 CIRCLE Texas 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 experienced 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.

2014 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL RED RAIDERS ADD PAIR OF NJCAA ALL-AMERICANS IN BELSHE, HOPSON Similar to years past, Texas Tech once again turned to the junior college level during the offseason to fill needs around the diamond, 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.

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. Below is a look where both pitchers currently stand in the Tech career record book:

5th 9th POWELL & TALLEY DESTINED FOR SUCCESS OUTSIDE SOFTBALL One 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.

TEXAS TECH SET FOR 24 GAMES AT ROCKY JOHNSON FIELD Texas 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 Southern 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 weeklong trip to Southern California, Tech closes its non-conference slate with a March 19 doubleheader against North Texas and a three-game set March 21-23 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 Oklahoma State and Iowa State in a pair of three-game series this season at Rocky Johnson Field.

RED RAIDERS PICKED SIXTH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLL Texas Tech was selected to finish sixth in the Big 12 Preseason Poll that was voted upon by the conference coaches. The Red Raiders, who finished 30-26 a year ago, have ended the season ranked higher in the conference standings than their preseason selection twice under fifth-year head coach Shanon Hays. Oklahoma, the reigning NCAA National Champion, was the unanimous pick to defend its title while Baylor, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma State follow with Iowa State slated a spot behind the Red Raiders in seventh place.
