WEST TEXAS A&MThe 2014 NCAA Division II National Champion Lady Buffs will look to carry-over the momentum of last season that saw the team claim the program’s first ever National Title as they finished the campaign with an overall record of 60-7 with a 23-4 mark in the Lone Star Conference, WT became just the fourth team in DII history to win 60 games in a season and claim the national title. NFCA DII National Coach of the Year Kevin Blaskowski enters his 10th season at WT, registering a 320-219 mark in Canyon as the Lady Buffs return 13 letterwinners including six positional starters and all three pitchers from 2014. The Lady Buffs are 6-3 all-time in season openers with wins in their last four dating back to a 5-0 loss to East Central during the St. Mary’s DII Collegiate Classic in San Antonio back on Feb. 5, 2010.

THE OPPONENTSThe Tigers of East Central finished the 2014 season with an overall record of 33-25 with a 22-18 mark in Great American Conference (GAC) play to finish fifth in the league. ECU returns 14 letterwinners and seven starters from 2014, the Tigers are led by ninth year head coach Destinin Anderson. The Lady Buffs and Tigers are tied 5-5 in their all-time series with WT taking the last two meetings back in 2011 to claim the LSC Tournament Title in Durant, Oklahoma.

The Wolves of Western Oregon concluded their 2014 season with an overall record of 34-23 with an 18-6 mark in Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) to claim the league title, they advanced to the West Regional Tournament with a win over Sonoma State before falling to Cal State Monterey Bay and Cal Baptist to end their season.

RE-WRITING THE RECORD BOOKSThe 2014 campaign saw the Lady Buffs re-write the program and Lone Star Conference record books as West Texas A&M set seven new individual or team LSC marks along with way. Alyssa Lemos became the all-time league leader in runs scored (251) and walks (179), the 251 runs is 3rd all-time in NCAA Division II history while the shortstop Alyssa Lemos broke the NCAA career record in walks. As a team, the Lady Buffs broke the LSC single-season records in runs (554), doubles (133), homeruns (105) and RBI (502) while also breaking the LSC single season record for wins with 60.

WT’s 554 runs scored ranks third all-time in the NCAA record books while the 133 doubles is third all-time and the 105 homeruns is third all-time. Renee Erwin, the 2014 Daktronics Ron Lenz Player of the Year, broke the LSC record for runs scored (81) in a single season, which is fifth all-time in NCAA history, to pass Angelo State standout Morgan Spearman while also tying the league’s single season record for total bases with 175 (Sandy James, ASU ‘09) which ranks third all-time in NCAA history.

DAKTRONICS RON LENZ PLAYER OF THE YEARWest Texas A&M outfielder Renee Erwin was named the 2014 Daktronics Ron Lenz Player of the Year for her efforts on the diamond. The Anna, Texas native, served as the backbone of the powerful WT offense during her junior season, leading the team with a .459 averages with 20 doubles, 6 triples and 18 homeruns to drive in 75 RBI on the season for a slugging percentage of .902 with 42 walks for an on-base percentage of .574 while going a perfect 22-for-22 on stolen bases. Erwin finished the season with 49 putouts and seven assists with just two errors in right field for the Lady Buffs, for a fielding percentage of .966.

LIVE COVERAGEThe West Texas A&M Athletic Media Relations Department will provide live stats for all WT games during the 2015 NFCA DII Leadoff Classic at Lincoln Park in Tucson.

A LOOK AT THE SCHEDULEThe Lady Buffs will once again face a tough schedule in 2015 as they look to defend their 2014 NCAA Na-tional Championship. The schedule is highlighted by a return trip to the NFCA Leadoff Classic with matchups against East Central, #23 Cal Baptist and Western Oregon followed by three pool play games.

LSC play will see matchups with four teams that made an NCAA Regional Tournament last year with #11 Angelo State, Texas Woman’s (RV), Midwestern State and Cameron while fellow NCAA Postseason entrant Metro State comes to Canyon on Feb. 14th.

Having been hired to re-start West Texas A&M softball following a 24-year absence, Kevin Blaskowski has wasted little time in building the Lady Buffs into a

perennial national title contender. In nine years at the helm, he has registered a 320-219 mark, recorded four NCAA tournament berths and an overall record of 672-496 over 22 seasons. While at WT, Blaskowski has claimed a Lone Star Conference title, LSC Tournament Title, two South Central Regional Cham-pionships, a South Central Super Regional Title and the 2014 NCAA Division II National Championship. 2014 saw the Lady Buffs capture the program’s first ever NCAA Division II National Championship as WT topped perennial power Valdosta State in a Memorial Day thriller at the Moyers Sports Complex in Salem, Virginia. The Lady Buffs finished their dream season with an overall record of 60-7, becoming just the fourth team in NCAA history to win a title while also reaching the 60-win mark (Cal State Northridge-1985; Augustana-1991; North Dakota State-2000). Blaskowski and his staff were rewarded for their efforts on the diamond, being named the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II National Coaching Staff of the Year while Coach B also picked up Lone Star Confer-ence Coach of the Year accolades. Coach B reached another career milestone in 2013 as he claimed his 600th career victory against St. Edward’s in Austin, Texas on April 14th. The 2012 season saw the Lady Buffs make another appearance in the LSC Tournament before falling to rival Angelo State in the semifinal round, WT just missed out on the NCAA Postseason, finishing the season with an overall record of 35-18. Blaskowski reached a personal milestone on February 19, 2012 as he coached his 1,000th career game in a win over New Mexico Highlands in Canyon. The 2011 season saw the Lady Buffs make a historic run to their first ever South Central Regional Championship as they finished the season with an overall record of 50-18. WT claimed the program’s first ever Lone Star Confer-ence Tournament Championship in 2011. Blaskowski also reached a personal milestone in 2011, claiming his 500th career victory on March 5 in a 15-2 win over Eastern New Mexico at Lady Buff Yard in Canyon, the win was also special for WT’s centerfielder Kim LeComte who hit for the first cycle in program history. The Lady Buffs finished the 2010 season with a 45-18 overall record and ad-vanced to the NCAA South Central Region Finals. Blaskowski was honored as the Lone Star Conference South Division Coach of the Year. Blaskowski was hired in December of 2004 to bring back the softball program to WTAMU’s campus after a 24 year absence. Blaskowski came to WT from Lone Star Conference rival Eastern New Mexico University where he served as the head coach for one year. Prior to ENMU, Blaskowski coached at Southern Arkansas University for five years, where he started the SAU softball program and led them to the postseason in each of his five years. In 2003, SAU was the Co-Champion of the West Division in the Gulf South Conference with a 31-19 overall record and a 19-4 conference mark. While at Southern Arkansas, Blaskowski’s teams also excelled in the class-room as they finished in the top ten in the NFCA Team GPA Rankings his last four years. SAU was ranked in the Top 10 of the team grade point average rankings in 1999-00 (5th), 2000-01 (7th), 2001-02 (8th), and 2002-03 (7th). While at SAU, Blaskowski served as a member of the NCAA Division II South Region rating committee in addition to being named Gulf South Conference Co-Coach of the Year in 2000. Blaskowski also has served as the head coach at Phillips University from 1996-1998. He started the program at Phillips which qualified for postseason

play in each of its two seasons before the school closed in 1998. He was also the head coach at Washburn University in Topeka, Kan., and Kansas Wesleyan Univer-sity, in Salina, Kan. He was chosen at the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) Coach of the Year at Kansas Wesleyan in 1993 and was selected as the NAIA District 10 Coach of the Year at Kansas Wesleyan University in 1994. Blaskowski received a Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in Physical Education from Valley City State University in North Dakota in 1986. He completed a Master of Science in Education with an emphasis in Health, Physi-cal Education and Recreation at Emporia State University in Kansas in 1989. In his career, Blaskowski has also been an instructor at Eastern New Mexico, Southern Arkansas, Kansas Wesleyan and West Texas A&M.
