RED RAIDERS RECORD ANOTHER 40-WIN YEAR

Texas Tech wrapped the 2012 season with its third-straight trip to the postseason while finishing with 40 wins for the second-consecutive year under head coach Shanon Hays. It was only the third time in school history a Tech team had reached the 40-win mark.

TEXAS TECH ADVANCES TO POSTSEASON FOR THIRD-STRAIGHT YEAR UNDER HAYS

After inheriting a program in 2010 that had not seen the postseason in eight seasons, Shanon Hays has completed quite a turnaround in Lubbock. The third-year head coach led the Red Raiders to their third-straight postseason appearance and the fifth in school history this season as Tech finished the year 41-17 overall after falling in the NCAA Washington Regional to the host Huskies and Harvard. The Red Raiders have posted at least 40 wins in each the last two seasons under Hays while Tech’s 13-10 mark in Big 12 play this year marked the program’s first winning conference record since 2001. Hays is the only coach in school history to lead Tech to multiple postseason appearances as the only trips to the postseason before his arrival came during the 1999 and 2001 seasons.

RED RAIDERS RECEIVE VOTES IN FINAL TOP 25 POLLS

Texas Tech was recognized at the end of the season for the third-straight year as the Red Raiders received votes in both of the major collegiate softball polls. Behind the program’s second-straight 40-win season, the Red Raiders picked up 35 votes in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll to finish just four votes shy of the top 25 spots in 26th place. Tech received 16 votes in the USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) rankings to finish tied for 28th with Northwestern. The Red Raiders had been previously ranked as high as No. 21 prior to the NCAA Washington Regional. This is the third-straight year and fifth time in school history that the Red Raiders have ended a season receiving votes in one of the two major polls. Tech finished with its highest ranking to complete a season since the 1998 and 1999 campaigns when the Red Raiders were No. 24 overall.

NCAA WASHINGTON REGIONAL NOTES TALLEY, CUSTER KEEP TECH IN WASHINGTON REGIONAL With the Tech bats struggling, Brittany Talley and Cara Custer kept the Red Raiders within reach at the Washington Regional as the duo combined to lead the pitching staff to a 1.75 earned-run average. Tech surrendered just five earned runs over 20 innings as the Red Raiders took a 6-1 victory over Maryland before suffering back-to-back 2-0 losses to Washington and Harvard. The three outings would have normally been enough to push Tech to a victory, but after more than a week off, the Red Raider bats were stymied throughout the final day. The performance lowered Tech’s season ERA to 2.59, the program’s second-lowest total since the 2001 season. RED RAIDERS SAY GOODBYE TO EIGHT SENIORS When the Red Raiders’ season came to an end in Seattle, it closed the storied careers of Tech’s eight-member senior class. A mixture of four-year letterwinners and junior-college transfers, the group has led Tech to more success than any class in school history as the Red Raiders compiled an 83-33 record over the past two seasons en route to back-to-back postseason trips. Six of the seniors were also on the squad in 2010 when Tech broke an eight-year absence from the postseason. Due to the success on the field, most of the senior class can be found in the top 10 of several of Tech’s single-season and career records. MIDDLE OF THE LINEUP, PITCHING ROTATION TO RETURN IN 2013 Despite losing a school-record eight seniors due to graduation, Tech will still return the middle of its lineup and its top two pitchers in 2013 as Mikey Kenney, Sandy James, and Adriana Perez will all be seniors while Brittany Talley and Cara Custer will have another year of experience as a junior and sophomore, respectively. Kenney, James, and Perez accounted for 39 of Tech’s school record 66 home runs this season and nearly half the team’s total RBI while recording the squad’s three highest averages. Talley and Custer, meanwhile, combined to go 37-16 in the circle while totaling 340.1 of Tech’s 387 total innings pitched. Tech is expected to return up to 13 letterwinners from this season to go along with 11 newcomers that have all signed with the university. HAYS ON PACE TO BECOME WINNINGEST ALL-TIME COACH IN 2013 With the amount of success Tech has achieved in his three seasons, Shanon Hays will look to add another accomplishment to his resume in 2013 as he trails Renee Luers-Gillepie by only 17 victories to become the winningest coach in school history. Gillespie, now the head coach at Central Florida, helped resurrect a Tech program in 1996 and led the Red Raiders to their first-ever postseason appearance just four seasons later before ending her tenure with a 138-159-1 record over five years. Hays, meanwhile, has gone 121-51 in just three seasons en route to becoming just the first coach to lead Tech to multiple postseason selections. TECH WRAPS ANOTHER PRODUCTIVE YEAR IN THE FIELD While Tech may be known for boasting one of the country’s top offenses each year, it was boosted this season by a .973 fielding percentage that ranked 21st in the country. The Red Raiders were among the top 10 midway through the season en route to setting a new school record in the category, breaking the previous mark of .966 from 1996. Tech did not commit an error throughout the Washington Regional and went errorfree in 28 games on the year. RED RAIDERS FINISH FIFTH IN BIG 12 CONFERENCE STANDINGS After recording just 12 wins total during Big 12 play over the last two years, Tech took a step up to league action this year as its 13-10 mark marked the program’s first winning conference record since 2001. The Red Raiders had reached 10 conference wins only twice prior to this season thanks to a 10-7 mark in 1998 and a 10-8 record in 2001. Tech’s fifth-place finish in the conference standings marks its highest finish since tying for third during that 2001 season. It was also the third time in school history where the Red Raiders had finished among the top-five schools. The Red Raiders were projected to finish seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll that was voted on by the conference coaches. BLEDSOE ENDS CAREER AMONG TECH ALL-TIME GREATS Emily Bledsoe became a staple at third base during her four seasons in scarlet and black as she helped rewrite the record book while leading Tech to three-straight postseason appearances. The Fulshear, Texas native ended her career among the top players in school history in every offensive category as she is the alltime leader in doubles, walks, and RBI (tied with Paula Workman). Bledsoe, who played and started in all 229 games since stepping foot on campus, also ranks second for runs scored, third for hits and triples, fourth for batting average and stolen bases, sixth for total at-bats, and seventh for home runs. She also climbed into the top 10 in Big 12 history as her 48 total doubles are tied for ninth all-time among conference players. KENNEY LEADS FOUR SELECTIONS TO ALL-BIG 12 TEAMS Mikey Kenney led a group of four selections to the All-Big 12 teams as the junior was honored on the first team in a vote by the conference coaches. It was the first time a Tech player had been first-team recipient since Ashley Parker in 2007. She was joined by three second-team selections in Emily Bledsoe, Sandy James, and Adriana Perez. It was the first career postseason accolade for Perez, while Bledsoe and James were selected for the third and second-consecutive seasons. Tech’s four total selections marked the program’s most since 2004 when four Red Raiders were also honored. PEREZ NAMED A FIRST-TEAM ALL-AMERICAN BY COLLEGE SPORTS MADNESS Adriana Perez kept the postseason honors rolling in as she was named a first-team All-American by the website College Sports Madness. Perez, who was also named the Field Player of the Year by the website, is the first Tech player to be recognized as an All-American since Amanda Renfro was a second-team pick by the NCAA in 2001. The junior was also named to the All-Big 12 first team with teammates Logan Hall and Mikey Kenney earning a selection to the second team.

2012 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL

GENTSCH NAMED AN ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN FOR SECOND-STRAIGHT YEAR Holley Gentsch earned her second career selection to a Capital One Academic All-America squad following the season as the junior was honored on the third team. Gentsch, who was a second-team selection in 2011, ends her playing career as one of the most successful Tech student-athletes in the classroom. She joins Paula Workman, who was honored on the third team in both 1998 and 1999, as the only other Academic All-American in program history. RED RAIDERS PLACE NINE TO ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12 TEAMS Texas Tech led all Big 12 schools with nine selections to the Academic All-Big 12 teams that were announced following the regular season. Holley Gentsch, Ashley Hamada, and Taylor Powell led the way as the three players were among the six conference student-athletes recognized with perfect 4.00 grade-point averages. Cydney Allen, Logan Hall, Sandy James, Mikey Kenney, and Raven Richardson joined the group on the first team while Meredith Heath was Tech’s lone selection to the second team. RED RAIDER SIGNEES IMPRESS AT NATIONAL LEVEL Despite losing eight seniors, Tech is set to bring in several of the country’s top players as part of its 11-member recruiting class that will arrive on campus this August. Tech’s two junior college transfers - Olive Naotala and Shelby Johnson - were both honored following their seasons as NJCAA Division I first team All-Americans by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. This was the second first team All-America accolade for both Naotala (Howard College) and Johnson (Chattanooga State) this year as they were previously honored by the NJCAA. Naotala was also named a first team All-American by the NFCA a year ago, while Johnson picked up the award for the first time. TECH SNAPS SINGLE-SEASON HOME RUN RECORD The Red Raiders’ three home runs against Baylor in late April pushed Tech to 60 on the year, snapping last year’s single-season school record of 58. Tech went on to add four more long balls during the Oklahoma State series to push its total to 66 before being held without any home runs at the Washington Regional. The Red Raiders ended the regular season ranked 17th in the country in home runs per game and third in the Big 12, trailing only the 98 bombs that Oklahoma recorded and the 77 from Texas A&M. Tech needed just one more home run to enter the top 10 in Big 12 single-season history heading into the regional. The Red Raiders have totaled 163 home runs over Shanon Hays’ three seasons, more than twice the amount from the three seasons prior to his arrival in 2010. CUSTER BECOMES MOST SUCCESSFUL TECH FRESHMAN PITCHER SINCE RENFRO Despite being in only her first collegiate season, Cara Custer achieved as much success as any other Tech pitcher in the last decade. The freshman, who finished 25-11 on the year, is only the second Tech pitcher in school history to reach the 20-win mark in a single season, joining the great Amanda Renfro who accomplished the feat three times from 1998-2001. Renfro is the only Tech player to have a number retired after she totaled 93 wins from 1998-2001, leading Tech to two postseason appearances during that span as well. Custer closed the year in sole possession of second in the Tech single-season record book, nine wins shy of Renfro’s 2001 school record. She passed Renfro’s 1998 freshman mark of 23 wins earlier in the season after a picking up a pair of victories against Baylor. Custer finished the season ranked four in the Big 12 for wins, trailing Oklahoma’s Keilani Ricketts (36), Texas A&M’s Mel Dumezich (28), and Missouri’s Chelsea Thomas (25). PEREZ FINISHES JUST ONE LONG BALL SHY OF JAMES’ RECORD Adriana Perez completed her first season in scarlet and black just one more home run shy of matching Sandy James’ single-season school record from a year ago after the junior connected on 15 of the year. Perez’ final home run of the year came on a two-out grand slam April 21 against Baylor that tied her for second all-time with Mikey Kenney (2010) and Kim Martinez (1997). Perez had 55 RBI on the year as well, which tied for third in the single-season record book. The California native closed the season ranked among the Big 12 leaders in home runs, RBI, total bases, and slugging percentage. HALL ENDS SEASON AS BIG 12 DOUBLES LEADER Logan Hall finished the season as the Big 12 doubles leader as the senior totaled 17 on the year, two more than Nadia Taylor of Texas. Hall had seven doubles during Big 12 play alone and then one during the Washington Regional, moving her career total to 44 over three seasons. Hall currently ranks second all-time in school history for doubles behind teammate Emily Bledsoe who had 48 over her career. Following a relatively slow start to the season, Hall closed the year hitting .276 on the year with 24 runs scored and 16 RBI. She also added a home run and was 7-for-8 on stolen base attempts. TECH NEARLY UNBEATABLE WHEN LEADING IN THE SEVENTH INNING The Red Raiders have become nearly unbeatable under Shanon Hays when leading after six innings. In Hays’ three seasons, Tech is 73-2 when taking a lead into the seventh with the lone two losses coming in a 9-7 loss at Oklahoma on April 15, 2010 and then a 5-4 decision to Kansas on April 28 in Lawrence. The Sooners rallied to score four runs in the final inning to score the win while the Jayhawks had to overcome a one-run deficit. The Red Raiders had gone 53-straight games since the Oklahoma game without losing when leading after six innings until falling to the Jayhawks earlier this year. BAYLOR ENDS 13-GAME STRETCH AGAINST THE TOP 25 The Baylor series ended a 13-game stretch against ranked opponents for the Red Raiders, who went 7-6 during that time with series wins over No. 9 Missouri and No. 25 Baylor along with a midweek game against No. 5 Texas. Tech is now 9-10 against the top 25 this year and 7-8 during Big 12 play alone. The Baylor series marked the final series against a ranked opponent during the regular season as neither Kansas or Oklahoma State are receiving votes in this week’s poll.

NCAA WASHINGTON REGIONAL NOTES TEXAS TECH ENDS REGULAR SEASON RANKED NO. 23 IN RPI Tech wrapped up the regular season ranked No. 23 in the RPI rankings that are widely used to determine postseason selections and seeding. The Red Raiders began the year at No. 29 before moving up a spot the next week and then eventually as high as No. 21. Tech ranks fifth among Big 12 schools in the new poll, trailing Texas (No. 5), Oklahoma (No. 6), Texas A&M (No. 8), and Missouri (No. 14). The Red Raiders wrapped the 2011 season ranked 30th in the poll, earning a NCAA Regional selection for the second-straight year in the process. HAMADA MAKING HIGHLIGHT-WORTHY CATCHES A REGULARITY While many will remember Sandy James’ sixth-inning grand slam that gave Tech an 8-6 lead over A&M in the series finale, it was Ashley Hamada who possibly saved the day. After being swept in a doubleheader the previous day, Hamada made two diving catches in the game, most notably a two-out grab at the right field wall that possibly kept the tying run from coming across had the ball dropped. In addition to her work with the glove, Hamada also started Tech’s sixth-inning rally with a single, setting the stage for James to launch her third career grand slam later in the frame. TALLEY TOSSES ONE-HIT SHUTOUT AGAINST TIGERS Brittany Talley possibly tossed the greatest performance of her young career April 13 as the sophomore limited Missouri to one hit in the complete-game shutout. To make it more impressive, Talley kept the Tigers off the bases while only recording one strikeout in the outing. Missouri had only two hitters reach base thanks to a first-inning triple and a seventh-inning fielding error. Talley wrapped the weekend with five shutout innings in the series finale before a leadoff home run in the sixth ended her day. She surrendered just six total hits and the one run in 12.0 total innings. PEREZ CONTINUES TO CREATE HAVOC IN MIDDLE OF THE LINEUP Adriana Perez continues to cause problems for opposing pitchers as she is now hitting .350 on the year with 15 home runs and a team-high 55 RBI. The junior enters this weekend’s regional eighth in the Big 12 for hits (55) while also ranking among the top performers in batting average (.350) home runs (15), RBI (55), total bases (108), and slugging percentage (.663). Perez, who had a 14-game hitting streak going until the Oklahoma series, is just one home run shy of Sandy James’ single-season school record set just a year ago. INDIVIDUAL NOTES u Mikey Kenney finished among the Big 12 leaders in stolen bases at the end of the season as the junior was 16-for-17 in attempts this year and 35-for-36 over her career. Her 16 stolen bases mark the most in a single season over her three-year career. u Kenney and Emily Bledsoe both snapped the school’s career record for runs scored against Iowa State, passing Paula Workman who came across 135 times from 1997-2000. Kenney ended the year with 149 runs scored with Bledsoe trailing just two behind. u After her double during the Oklahoma State series, Bledsoe entered the top 10 in Big 12 history as it was her 48th of her career. Already the school’s all-time leader in the category, Bledsoe totaled 10 doubles on the year, second-most on the team only behind Big 12-leader Logan Hall. u Bledsoe was hit by a pitch for the 15th time this season at the Washington Regional, marking the most for any Big 12 player. No Tech player had been hit 10 or more times previously since Robyn Wike was plunked 16 times during the 2007 season. u Bledsoe moved to third all-time in career hits during the Oklahoma series as she passed current volunteer assistant coach Leah Legler. Bledsoe now has 198 hits over four seasons, two shy of Ashley Parker who totaled 200 hits during the 2004-07 seasons. u Bledsoe and Hall battled back and forth at the end of the year to see who would end her career as the school’s all-time RBI leader. Bledsoe tied Paula Workman (1997-2000) with her 113rd career RBI at the Washington Regional while Hall closed the season two back in third all-time. u Emily Cooper connected on her first career extra-base hit and first RBI all in one swing against Missouri as she opened Tech’s scoring in its 5-4 victory over the Tigers with a double to left field. Cooper has started each of the past 12 of the past 13 games in left field. u Cara Custer’s save against Oklahoma marked her third of the season, moving her into the a tie for third in the Big 12, one back of Kansas’ Alicia Pille. She is one save shy of tying Erin Crawford (2006) for the school single-season record. PENCIL BLEDSOE IN THE LINEUP During Cal Ripken, Jr.’s historic stretch with the Baltimore Orioles, he earned the iconic nickname “Iron Man” after breaking the major league record for 2,632 consecutive games played. While not nearing Ripken’s mark, Emily Bledsoe has impressed many not just for her glove or bat but for her toughness as well. The Fulshear, Texas native started in all 229 games since her freshman season in 2009. With her start against Midwestern State, Bledsoe passed Heather Parker (2004-07) for seventh on the career games played chart. If Bledsoe were to start in each of Tech’s final six games, she would wrap her career ranked fifth in the record book. DON’T FORGET TALLEY Even with Cara Custer’s emergence early in the season, Tech would not be 41-17 this year without the consistency of sophomore Brittany Talley. The left-hander, who provides a good 1-2 punch in the rotation with Custer, was 12-5 on the year with a 2.21 earned-run average. In 19 starts this season, Talley has given up more than one earned run only five times. She has tossed six complete games on the year, including two shutouts, in 130 innings of work.

to her record in the Seton Hall Classic, pounding her team-leading 10th dinger of the year against the host Pirates during pool play. Kenney now has 32 home runs in her career, five more than previous record holder Kim Martinez who totaled 27 during the 1997 and 1999 seasons. Her 13 home runs on the year currently rank ninth in the Big 12. PEREZ NAMED BIG 12 CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEK After hitting .714 with four home runs and 12 RBI against Midwestern State and Iowa State, Adriana Perez was named the Big 12 Co-Player of the Week on April 3, the second weekly award honor for Tech this season. Perez frustrated opposing pitchers as she was 10-for-14 at the plate while posting at least two hits and two RBI in all four games. The junior concluded the weekend with an eighth-inning walk-off home run that sent Tech to a three-game sweep of Iowa State. Perez shared the award with Oklahoma’s Lauren Chamberlain. Sandy James is the other Tech player to earn the award this year after picking up the accolade on Feb. 21. BLEDSOE FINDS THE LONG BALL AGAINST THE CYCLONES Emily Bledsoe took advantage of the long ball during Tech’s sweep of Iowa State as the senior hit three home runs in the series, including two during Tech’s 5-2 victory in the series finale. Bledsoe now has four home runs on the year and 17 for her career which is tied for seventh in school history. She was hitting .432 during Tech’s 13-game winning streak as she has scored 14 runs and posted 13 RBI during that span. The successful weekend brought Bledsoe’s average up to .305, marking the first time she has reached the .300 mark this season. RYBA RETURNS TO THE LINEUP After 14 games away from the field, Melisa Ryba returned the field at the Seton Hall Classic, crushing a threerun homer in the first plate appearance. She came off the bench in all five games that weekend, replacing Katelyn Williams in the lineup to go 5-for-11 at the plate. The junior kept the hot-hitting going against Midwestern State as she went 1-for-2 at the plate with a second-inning home run that carried over the scoreboard in right field. Ryba earned her first start in the game since facing Idaho State Feb. 18 in Las Vegas. Prior to the Seton Hall Classic, Ryba had not previously seen action since facing UTEP on Feb. 25 in Waco. CUSTER THROWS FIRST CAREER NO-HITTER Custer tossed her first career no-hitter in Tech’s second game of the Seton Hall Classic, a 11-0 run-rule of the host Pirates. It marked the eighth no-hitter in school history and the first since Kermitria Ward held Dayton hitless on March 6 last year. She became just the third Tech freshman to record a no-hitter, joining Ward and fellow teammate Brittany Talley. Custer struck out a season-high nine Pirates in the outing before coming back two days later to keep Seton Hall hitless all the way till the third inning when Colltey Sheldon slapped an infield single. The Spanaway, Wash. native was named the tournament’s top pitcher following the game. HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 100 AT TEXAS TECH Shanon Hays picked up his 100th victory while the head coach at Texas Tech with the Red Raiders’ 4-1 win in the series opener at Stony Brook. Tech went on to win the second game as well, moving Hays to 101-41 at the time in two-plus seasons at Tech. The Lubbock native, who is 218-57 in five seasons as a collegiate coach, trails only Renee Luers-Gillespie as the school’s all-time winningest coach. Gillespie went 136-159-1 during just over four seasons from 1996-2000. BLEDSOE HEATS UP DURING TRIP TO NEW YORK After struggling for the first part of the season, Emily Bledsoe was able to string several hits together during Tech’s trip the New York area, compiling a .476 average (10-for-21) over the seven-game stretch. Bledsoe also scored six runs during that time while adding five RBI and three doubles. She now has 44 doubles for her

NCAA WASHINGTON REGIONAL NOTES career, the most in Tech history, which leave her four shy of entering the Big 12 record book as well. The performance helped Bledsoe move her season average to .284 overall, the highest its been all year. SPRING BREAK GOOD FOR TECH’S AVERAGES To say the Tech offense enjoyed a successful Spring Break at the plate might be an understatement. During Tech’s nine games during the week, Tech hit .374 as a team, totaling 14 home runs and 71 runs during that span, outscoring opponents 71-19 overall. The Red Raiders had eight players with 10 or more at-bats post at least a .300 average at the plate, led by Raven Richardson’s .600 mark. Texas Tech Over Spring Break AB H AVG.

He got his wish early on against the 23rd Lobos as Tech set a new season high in hits during the first game en route to scoring a total of 17 runs over the two games. The Red Raiders capitalized on two separate seven-run innings which allowed Tech to break the first game open in the third before using another seven-run frame in the fourth to bounce back from an early 3-0 deficit in the finale. “THE ROCK” GETS ADDITIONAL SEATING Texas Tech fans have the added comfort of not having to fight for a seat this season as over 500 seats were added to Rocky Johnson Field in the offseason. The seating addition replaced the grass berms that previously stood above both dugouts and over both bullpen areas. The facility currently has seating for 1,165 fans with room to add portable seating as well. OFFENSE SHINES IN OPENING WEEKEND After hitting just .240 over the first 16 games of the season, the Red Raiders responded with a .386 average over six games against Binghamton and UT-Arlington, bringing their season average up 42 points in the process. Tech, which ranked fourth nationally in scoring offense and batting average last year, had at least 10 hits in four of six games en route to an undefeated weekend. Mikey Kenney led the way with a .533 average on the weekend that included three home runs and four stolen bases. Logan Hall trailed close behind after going 11-for-21 with three RBI and six runs scored. Tech is 13-1 this year when scoring three or more runs. RED RAIDERS REBOUND NICELY IN VEGAS After what many considered a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the Red Raiders rebounded rather nicely in Las Vegas, going 6-0 while defeating three teams that advanced to the postseason a year ago in Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul along with Ohio State who was receiving votes in the top 25 polls at the time. Tech faced six schools that made the postseason last year in its first 11 games, going 4-2 in those contests. JAMES NAMED BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK After hitting over .400 with a pair of home runs, Sandy James was named the Big 12 Player of the Week Tuesday, marking the second time the junior has earned the honor. She hit .409 at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic while driving in nine RBI to lead the Red Raider offense. She becomes the first Red Raider in school history to be named the league’s Player of the Week twice. She is also just the second Tech player to earn a weekly award on multiple occasions, joining Amanda Renfro who was named the Pitcher of the Week five times over the 1998-01 seasons. HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 200 The Red Raiders’ 2-1 win over DePaul marked win No. 200 for head coach Shanon Hays as the third-year head coach is now 205-55 in four-plus seasons as a collegiate coach. Hays, who is 91-39 at Tech, recently passed Teresa Wilson for third on the winningest Tech coaches list as Wilson went 89-123 during the 2005-08 seasons. UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY The Red Raiders entered unfamiliar territory in Las Vegas as Tech had never gone

into a game with a losing record under head coach Shanon Hays. Tech lost only five non-conference games over the last two seasons, including only one in 2011 alone. The Red Raiders had a tough weekend in Arizona, though, falling to Northwestern, No. 14 Tennessee, No. 9 Stanford, and Cal Poly in what is the worst start to a season since the 2008 squad opened the year with 12-straight losses. Tech’s four-game losing streak to regular season non-conference opponents also marks its longest since late in the 2009 season. BLEDSOE A CANDIDATE FOR LOWE’S SR. CLASS Earlier this season, Emily Bledsoe was named one of 30 candidates for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award that is presented annually to the softball student-athlete that excels not only on the diamond but also in the classroom and community. The 30 candidates will be trimmed to 10 finalists midway through the season with the winner being named following a nationwide vote at the Women’s College World Series. BUILDING THAT RPI Part of Tech’s success over the last two seasons in getting to a NCAA Regional has stemmed from its difficult regular season schedule. Tech played six non-conference teams last year that made the postseason and is set to face seven this year with three of those games taking place at the Kajikawa Classic. The Red Raiders dropped San Diego State, 5-4, before falling to both No. 14 Tennessee and No. 9 Stanford, who both earned national seeds a year ago. Tech faced three more regional squads from a year ago last weekend as Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul all made the postseason in 2011. RED RAIDERS FACE QUALITY ARMS IN ARIZONA If there was one certainty from Tech’s opening weekend at the Kajikawa Classic, it was that Tech faced two of the country’s top pitchers in Tennessee’s Ellen Renfro and Stanford’s Teagan Gerhart. The duo combined to hold Tech to just one run which came off a Mikey Kenney solo home run in the second inning off the Cardinal. Renfro was the SEC Freshman of the Year last season after compiling a 26-7 record, while Gerhart earned All-Pac 12 first team honors after going 26-13 in the circle. TECH PICKS UP VOTES IN PRESEASON POLLS For the second-straight season, Texas Tech started the season receiving votes in both the USA Today/NFCA and the ESPN/USA Softball preseason polls. The Red Raiders picked up five votes in the NFCA poll and then six in the ESPN rankings. One of seven Big 12 schools appearing in the polls, Tech will face a total of 14 teams this season that are ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings. RED RAIDERS FACE CHALLENGE IN THE DESERT The Red Raiders had a tough task at hand at the Kajikawa Classic as four of their five opponents were ranked or receiving votes in the preseason rankings. Stanford led the pack after being ranked No. 9 by the NFCA and No. 10 by ESPN.com, while Tennessee is No. 14 in the NFCA poll and No. 9 in the ESPN rankings. San Diego State was receiving votes in both polls while Northwestern picked up two votes in the ESPN rankings. Tennessee, Stanford, and San Diego State were all selected to a NCAA Regional last year with the Lady Vols and Cardinal eventually advancing to the Super Regionals. RED RAIDERS RETURN 15 PLAYERS FROM 2011 With 15 returners back from its 2011 squad, Tech could be primed for another breakout season in 2012. Of those 15 returners, eight were position starters a year ago while Tech’s top two pitchers, senior Kelsey Dennis and sophomore Brittany Talley, also return in the circle. The Red Raiders had no seniors on their roster last year when Tech finished 42-16 overall after falling to Arizona in the finale of the NCAA Tucson Regional. TAKING THE NEXT STEP Immediately following Tech’s season-ending loss to Arizona in the NCAA Tucson Regional, head coach Shanon Hays had one message for his young team - to take the next step in 2012. Advancing to the postseason would no longer just be the goal. Knowing the majority of that squad would return this year, he challenged the group to win a regional this season, a feat that has not been accomplished in school history. The Red Raiders have fallen in the regional finale in each of the last two seasons. TECH BOASTS A RECORD EIGHT SENIORS After only having a total of two seniors on the roster during his first two seasons, Shanon Hays will have a senior-laden squad for the first time as eight seniors return for their final season in scarlet and black. No Tech team had previously boasted more than six seniors on its roster since softball returned as an intercol

NCAA WASHINGTON REGIONAL NOTES legiate sport in 1996. The only two seniors in Hays’ tenure were in 2010 when Ashly Jacobs and Leah Legler completed their eligibility. Both are still associated with the program this season with Jacobs filling the role of graduate student manager and Legler as the volunteer assistant coach. TECH RETURNS ONE OF NATION’S TOP LINEUPS The majority of last year’s lineup that hit .361 and ranked fourth nationally in both batting average and scoring average returns this season as the Red Raiders bring back eight position starters from a year ago. Tech set the Big 12 Conference record last year with its .361 batting average as seven regulars in the lineup hit .300 or better during the season. Raven Richardson led all hitters with a .384 mark followed closely behind by Emily Bledsoe and her .383 average. BLEDSOE NAMED TO PRESEASON WATCH LIST Senior Emily Bledsoe was named to the USA Softball Player of the Year Watch List prior to the season, joining 49 players nationwide including 10 from the Big 12 Conference. Bledsoe, a Fulshear, Texas native, hit a career-high .383 as a junior and is already a fixture in the school’s record book. She is the first Tech player to be named to any preseason watch list in school history. TECH HITS THE ROAD FOR NON-CONFERENCE After playing the majority of non-conference games at home the past two seasons, the Red Raiders will be hitting the road more often this year with four nonconference tournaments away from Lubbock. Following Tech’s trip to Tempe to open the season the Red Raiders will travel to Las Vegas (Feb. 17-19) for the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic, Waco (Feb. 24-26) for the Texas Shootout, and South Orange, N.J. (March 16-18) for the Seton Hall Classic. HAYS LOOKS TO CUSTER FOR BOOST IN CIRCLE When pitching coach Aly Sartini was out recruiting the Las Vegas area in the summer of 2010, she sat in by chance on the Washington Lady Hawks travel team where this young right-hander with great velocity and good movement was retiring hitters left and right. Sartini along with Shanon Hays immediately began recruiting that right-hander, current freshman Cara Custer, early and secured her commitment before several of the top programs across the country came calling. Now, the Tech coaching staff is expecting the Spanaway, Wash. native to be a dominating presence in the circle for a Tech pitching staff that had a 3.50 ERA a year ago. RED RAIDERS ADD JUCO CATCHER OF THE YEAR Tech continued to add hitters in the offseason with the signing of two-time California JUCO Catcher of the Year Adriana Perez. One of the top junior college prospects in the country last year, Perez is expected to bolster an already-deep catcher staff that consists of seniors Holley Gentsch and Cydney Allen along with junior Randi Tongate. Perez hit over .500 in each of her two seasons at Antelope Valley College in California, totaling 31 home runs and 117 RBI during that two year stretch.

2012 TEXAS TECH SOFTBALL

RYBA RETURNS TO DIAMOND AFTER YEAR OFF Melisa Ryba will be returning to the softball diamond for the first time since the 2010 season this weekend as the redshirt junior sat out the 2011 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Ryba, who could play varies positions for Tech, transferred from Northern Colorado after hitting .323 as a sophomore with seven home runs and 32 RBI. She was named an All-Independent Co-Freshman of the Year in 2009 before Northern Colorado joined the Pacific Coast Softball Conference in 2010 when she was a second team PCSC All-Mountain selection. BIG 12 PLAY TURNS TO THREE-GAME SERIES For the first time in Big 12 history, all conference series will be three games each. The league had previously gone with a two-game format and a postseason conference tournament until the 2011 season when the tournament was cut. There will be a total of 24 conference games, six more than the 2010 season. With the departure of Nebraska, the league is a nine-team conference as Kansas State does not sponsor softball. TECH PICKED 7TH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLL Even with lofty expectations and the majority of its 2011 squad back for another season, Texas Tech was picked seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll of conference coaches. The league is coming off a record year where eight teams (of 10) advanced to the postseason with four of those eventually composing the eightteam Women’s College World Series. Missouri was the preseason favorite to take the league title followed by Oklahoma and then Texas. Team (first-place votes) Points 1. Missouri (3) 59 2. Oklahoma (4) 56 3. Texas (1) 50 4. Baylor 45 5.

In three seasons as Texas Tech’s head softball coach, Shanon Hays has taken the Red Raiders to three-straight NCAA Regional appearances, breaking a nineyear postseason absence and laying the framework for a program on the rise in the process. After inheriting a squad that was only 15-42 in 2009, Hays has led the Red Raiders to three-straight 30-plus win seasons, including a 42-16 campaign in 2011 that marked the highest winning percentage in school history. Prior to Hays’ arrival, Tech had only advanced to the postseason twice in program history with its last trip being in 2001, which was also its most-previous season with a winning record. Tech’s 120-49 record under Hays nearly matches the school’s total from the previous six seasons prior to his arrival as the Red Raiders won 126 games from 2004-09. Most importantly, though, the Red Raiders have been in the postseason each season, advancing to the NCAA Stanford Regional in 2010, Tucson Regional in 2011, and the Washington Regional in 2012. Tech fell in the regional finale each of his first two seasons as eventual College World Series participant Hawaii ended the squad’s run in 2010 while host Arizona dropped the Red Raiders in 2011. No Tech squad had previously advanced to a regional in consecutive seasons, nor had any team previously appeared in the top 25 rankings. The Red Raiders changed that on Feb. 15, 2011 as they appeared in the top 25 of both polls, breaking a drought that lasted over a decade. Tech, which had not been ranked previously in either poll since the end of the 1999 season, climbed as high as No. 19 throughout the year, the highest ranking in school history. Under Hays, Tech has consistently produced one of the top lineups in the nation as the Red Raiders spent most of the 2011 season with the highest batting average in the nation before ending the year fourth overall. The squad’s 7.17 runs per game ranked fourth as well in scoring nationally, while its .533 slugging percentage was just inside the top 10 nationally in ninth. With that type of production up and down the lineup, the Red Raiders have snapped 13 single-season offensive marks in the school record book, including the previous highs for batting average, runs, hits, doubles, home runs, and RBI. While playing in a conference dominated by pitching, Tech has only been shutout 11 times under Hays as the Red Raiders have been among the Big 12 leaders in most offensive categories as well. Four players - Cydney Allen, Emily Bledsoe, Logan Hall, and Mikey Kenney - have been honored on either the All-Big 12 second team or on the NFCA postseason awards lists following each season. Tech’s transformation should come as little surprise after Hays’ work at Lubbock Christian. Following his appointment as the program’s first head softball coach in 2006, Hays worked for a full academic year in preparation for LCU’s first season in 2008. The Lady Chaps did not disappoint in their inaugural season, compiling a 60-9 record and claiming the NAIA National Championship, earning Hays NAIA National Coach of the Year honors. Hays wrapped his twoyear tenure at LCU with a 114-16 overall record after advancing to the national championship again in 2009. Known as a top-flight recruiter and motivator, Hays was named the Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year both seasons and produced five NFCA and NAIA first team All-Americans during his tenure. Hays turned to softball after a successful career as a basketball coach that included two seasons on the Texas Tech bench as an assistant coach from 1999-2001 under James Dickey. He is the first person at Texas Tech to coach two completely different sports (one men’s and now one women’s). Hays began playing fastpitch softball as a youth, along with baseball and basketball, because his father, the legendary Texas Tech and LCU baseball coach Larry Hays, also played fastpitch softball. Hays, the elder, whose 1,509 career wins were good enough for fourth on the all-time collegiate baseball list, retired as Tech’s all-time winningest coach prior to the 2009 season. He graduated from Lubbock Monterey High School in 1986 and makes his home in Lubbock with his wife, Tina, two sons, Hunter, Heath, and daughter, Hampton.
