ETBU played their way to the top of the American Southwest Conference a conference and program best 32 matches. Making a run through the ASC Tournament, breaking three records and forcing the elimination match, Mashe put together one of her best seasons at ETBU. ETBU had two eight-match winning streaks and then went 5-2 in the ASC Tournament defeating every team that qualified including the eventual champion. This past season also brought the program’s first-ever AVCA All-American in sophomore Kolby Sharp.

She had seven players earn All-ASC awards including two first-team selections and the ASC East’s Freshman of the Year in Kolby Sharp. The Tigers have won 20 or more matches in a season in five of Mashe’s eight seasons at the helm. ETBU made its first ASC Tournament title game appearance in five years in 2008, and the program produced back-to-back ASC East Player of the Year honors in 2007 and 2008, with both awards being won by Katie Graves. Creating excitement among the team’s fans and ETBU community has also been a hallmark for Mashe’s teams, as the Tigers led the nation in NCAA Division III home attendance average during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. After eight seasons, Mashe has an overall record of 156-101 and became the all-time wins leader at ETBU in 2012.

She still ranks third all-time at ETBU in career assists, with 1,524. Before joining ETBU, Mashe earned back-to-back all-conference recognition as Panola’s setter.

In her first season in 2006, Mashe guided ETBU to an ASC Eastern Division Championship. It was ETBU’s first division championship in any sport since 2004 and the volleyball program’s first division banner since 2002. She has quickly set about building a reputation as one of the brightest young coaches in the league.
