2011 BIG 12 STANDINGSTHE SERIES• Binghamton - This is the first meeting between the two schools. • UT-Arlington - Tech is 4-4 all-time against the Mav-ericks with the Red Raiders winning three of the last four meetings, including a 3-2 victory at UTSA on Feb. 28, 2010. This is only UTA’s second trip to Lub-bock as the two teams previously split a April 22, 2008 doubleheader.

ON DECKBarely a month in their season, the Red Raiders open Big 12 play next Tuesday with a two-game midweek series at 6th-ranked Texas. The Longhorns and Tech will play one game on both Tuesday and Wednesday in Austin before Texas travels to Lubbock April 11 to close out the season series. Tech will close next week with a two-game weekend series with No. 24 New Mexico at Rocky Johnson Field.

RED RAIDERS GET FINAL TEST BEFORE BIG 12Binghamton and UT-Arlington are the two final tests for the Red Raiders before Big 12 play opens next Tuesday night at Texas. Tech will face the Longhorns in a two-game midweek series that will mark the earliest the Red Raiders had ever played a confer-ence game in school history. Texas travels to Lub-bock April 11 to complete the season series.

TECH TO HONOR JEANNINE MCHANEYThis weekend’s round-robin tournament is named after Jeannine McHaney, who is widely-considered the founder of women’s athletics at Texas Tech. A pioneer of the 1970s and 80s, McHaney spent nearly a decade as the women’s athletics director before the two departments combined in 1986. From there, she continued to be a top administrator in the ath-letics department before losing a year-long battle with cancer in 1994, a year after the Lady Raider bas-ketball team won the 1993 NCAA National Cham-pionship. This marks the second-annual Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic which hopes to continue to be an annual event at Rocky Johnson Field.

“THE ROCK” GETS ADDITIONAL SEATINGTexas Tech fans will get 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, which opened in 2001, currently has seating for 1,165 fans with room to po-tentially add portable seating as well.

RED RAIDERS RETURN HOME ON A ROLLAfter a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the Red Raiders open their home schedule on a roll as of late, winning 10 of their last 11 contests with four of those wins coming over postseason teams from a year ago. Tech went a perfect 6-0 at the Lou-isville Slugger Desert Classic in Las Vegas before a 4-1 showing last weekend in Waco where the Red Raiders fell to Texas State, 3-1, in the tournament’s championship game.

TECH PREPARES FOR 10 GAMES OVER NINE DAYSThe Red Raiders have a challenging stretch over the next two weeks as Tech will play six games this weekend in the Jeannine McHaney Memorial Classic before taking on No. 6 Texas and No. 24 New Mexico in two-game series next week. All together Tech will play 10 games over a nine-day stretch with the Texas series being played in Austin.

CUSTER RETURNS HOME AS BIG 12 WINS LEADERCara Custer enters this weekend as the Big 12 wins leader as the freshman is 7-3 on the year with a 2.76 earned-run average. She has earned a decision in every outing this year besides last Sunday’s Texas State game where the Red Raiders fell 3-1. Custer was pulled from that outing after giving up a run off two innings and five full innings of work. She also is among the league leaders in innings pitched, strike-outs, appearances, games started, shutouts, and complete games.

PEREZ CONTINUES TO SHINE IN CLEANUP ROLEThrough 12 games this season, Adriana Perez has al-ready showed why she was the two-time California JUCO Catcher of the Year. The Lancaster, Calif. native is currently among the Big 12 leaders as she leads the team with a .386 average. Perez has homored three times so far while also driving in 11 RBI. With her emergence, Tech head coach Shanon Hays has been able to move Sandy James, last year’s cleanup hitter, to the No. 3 hole since Perez is protecting her in the lineup.

NOTABLESu Texas Tech’s 16 game road trip to start the season marks the longest stretch away from Lubbock under Shanon Hays. The Red Raiders longest streak away from home to start the season was in 2009 when the Red Raiders opened with their first 22 games were at road tournaments.u Tech built a 10-game winning streak before fall-ing to Texas State in the championship game of the Texas Shootout last weekend in Waco. That streak is the Red Raiders’ longest since running off 11-straight from March 11-20 last year as Tech closed the non-conference schedule. u Sandy James, the Feb. 21 Big 12 Player of the Week, enters this weekend among the Big 12 lead-ers home runs (4) and RBI (13) along with total bases (29). The junior has reached base in each of the last 10 games. u The Red Raiders have been aggressive on the base paths so far this season, swiping 18 bases in 23 attempts thus far. Kermitria Ward and Emily Bledsoe have helped lead the way as both players are among the conference leaders with six and five stole bases, respectively. u Prior to giving up two runs to UTEP in the fifth inning last Saturday, the Red Raiders had gone 22-straight scoreless innings, falling just five innings shy of the school record that was set last season.u Texas State’s three runs in the tournament finale marked the most by a Tech opponent since Idaho State scored four in an 8-4 loss Feb. 18. The Red Raid-ers had previously held their opponents to two runs or less in eight of their last nine contests.u That same Texas State game also marked a rar-ity for the Red Raiders under Shanon Hays. Tech was previously 56-4 under the third-year head coach when leading or tied following six innings.

TECH PITCHERS GOING THE DISTANCELed by primary starters Brittany Talley and Cara Custer, the Tech pitching staff has been going the distance for the most part this season, already toss-ing eight complete games over the first three week-ends, including four times at the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic in Las Vegas. Custer leads the squad as she has finished out five games so far while Talley has added three complete games of her own. The duo has combined for three shutouts on the year, two of which that took place last weekend in Waco.

USA TODAY/NFCA TOP 25 POLL

ESPN/USA SOFTBALL TOP 25 POLL

RED RAIDERS REBOUND NICELY IN VEGASAfter what many considered a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the Red Raiders rebounded rather nicely in Las Vegas, going 6-0 while defeat-ing three teams that advanced to the postseason a year ago in Long Beach State, Portland State, and DePaul along with Ohio State who was receiv-ing 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 WEEKAfter hitting over .400 with a pair of home runs, San-dy 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 Slug-ger 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 oc-casions, joining Amanda Renfro who was named the Pitcher of the Week five times over the 1998-01 seasons.

HAYS EARNS WIN NO. 200The 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 Theresa Wilson for third on the win-ningest Tech coaches list as Wilson went 89-123 dur-ing the 2005-08 seasons.

RYBA MAKES SOLID FIRST IMPRESSIONAfter sitting out a season due to NCAA transfer rules, Melisa Ryba made a solid debut in a Red Raider uniform, homering off the first pitch she saw in the season-opening victory over San Diego State. It marked the first time a Tech player had homored in the opening at-bat of her Red Raider debut since Mikey Kenney did so against Wisconsin in 2010. Ryba wrapped the weekend at Tech’s leading hitter, finishing with a .400 average to go along with three RBI and a run scored.

TALLEY NEARLY LEADS TECH PAST TENNESSEEOne of the highlights of Tech’s trip to the Kajikawa Classic was Brittany Talley’s complete game against 14th-ranked Tennessee. The sophomore allowed just one run against the Lady Vols which came off a Melissa Brown double in the fifth inning. The complete game was Talley’s 10th over the last two seasons, the most by any current Tech player. Talley finished the weekend 0-1 in the circle while posting a 3.20 ERA over 15.1 innings in the circle.

UNFAMILIAR TERRITORYThe 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. CLASSEarlier this season, Emily Bledsoe was named one of 30 candidates for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award that is presented annually to the soft-ball student-athlete that excels not only on the dia-mond 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 RPIPart 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 post-season and is set to face seven this year with three of those games taking place at the Kajikawa Clas-sic. 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 ARIZONAIf there was one certainty from Tech’s opening week-end 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 com-bined 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 go-ing 26-13 in the circle.

PENCIL BLEDSOE IN THE LINEUPDuring Cal Ripken, Jr.’s historic stretch with the Bal-timore 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 as the Fulshear, Texas native has started in all 182 games since her freshman season in 2009. Al-ready a regular in the Tech record book, the senior will likely enter the top 10 for career games played midway through the season.

TECH PICKS UP VOTES IN PRESEASON POLLSFor 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 re-ceiving votes in the preseason rankings.

RED RAIDERS FACE CHALLENGE IN THE DESERTThe Red Raiders had a tough task at hand at the Ka-jikawa 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 rank-ings. 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 advanc-ing 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 Tal-ley, 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 STEPImmediately 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 post-season 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 SENIORSAfter 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 in-tercollegiate 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 Ja-cobs filling the role of graduate student manager and Legler as the volunteer assistant coach.

TECH RETURNS ONE OF NATION’S TOP LINEUPSThe 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 fol-lowed closely behind by Emily Bledsoe and her .383 average.

BLEDSOE NAMED TO PRESEASON WATCH LISTSenior Emily Bledsoe was named to the USA Soft-ball 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 fix-ture 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-CONFERENCEAfter 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 non-conference 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.

team where this young right-hander with great ve-locity and good movement was retiring hitters left and right. Sartini along with Shanon Hays imme-diately began recruiting that right-hander, current freshman Cara Custer, early and secured her com-mitment 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 YEARTech 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 dur-ing that two year stretch.

RYBA RETURNS TO DIAMOND AFTER YEAR OFFMelisa 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 po-sitions 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 Confer-ence in 2010 when she was a second team PCSC All-Mountain selection.

TECH PICKED 7TH IN BIG 12 PRESEASON POLLEven 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 com-posing the eight-team Women’s College World Se-ries. 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.

BIG 12 PLAY TURNS TO THREE-GAME SERIESFor the first time in Big 12 history, all conference se-ries will be three games each. The league had previ-ously gone with a two-game format and a postsea-son 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.

WEEK 4: JEANNINE MCHANEY MEMORIAL CLASSIC • GAMES 17-22

In two seasons as Texas Tech’s head softball coach, Shanon Hays has taken the Red Raiders to consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, breaking a nine-year 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 led the Red Raid-ers to back-to-back 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 80-34 record under Hays is one win shy of its previous four seasons combined as the Red Raiders won 81 games from 2006-09. Most importantly, though, the Red Raiders have been in the postseason each season, advancing to the NCAA Stanford Regional in 2010 and the Tucson

Regional in 2011. Tech fell in the regional finale each year 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 previ-ously 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, dou-bles, home runs, and RBI. While playing in a conference dominated by pitching, Tech has only been shutout six 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 two-year 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 fa-ther, 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.
