LSC HITTER OF THE WEEKWest Texas A&M junior designated player Allie Smith has been named the LSC Softball Hitter of the Week. The Flower Mound product went 9-for-16 at the plate this weekend to hit .563 with six doubles and a homerun to drive in 10 RBI for a slugging per-centage of 1.125 to go along with a walk and just one strikeout for an on-base clip of .588. The junior registered a hit in all six games of the WT Invitational to run her hitting streak to 11

2016 IN-REVIEWThe Lady Buffs continued their dominance in 2016 as Kevin Blaskowski led the program to their third straight and fourth overall Lone Star Conference Championship as they finished the season 59-5 with a 30-2 mark in LSC play. WT made national news during the 2016 season as they went on the longest win streak in South Central Region history, winning their first 30 games. WT claimed their second South Central Regional Championship in 2016, coming from the loser’s bracket to top Colorado Mesa twice on Championship Sunday followed by a Super Regional sweep of St. Mary’s to advance to the program’s second College World Series as WT finished the season ranked fifth in the nation.

HOME SWEET HOMEThe Lady Buffs have turned Schaeffer Park in Canyon into one of the top home environments in all of NCAA Division II Softball. WT is 181-28 (.866) at Schaeffer Park since the facility opened prior to the 2011 season including 71-13 (.845) during regular season Lone Star Conference games in Canyon. 2016 marked the fifth time in the last six years (‘11, ‘13, ‘14, ‘15, ‘16) that the Lady Buffs hosted NCAA Postseason action.

LIVE COVERAGEThe West Texas A&M Athletic Media Relations De-partment will provide live stats all games during the weekend. Fans can also follow the WT Athletics (@WTAthletics) Twitter account for live updates during all games. For links and more information, visit the Lady Buff Softball schedule page at GoBuffsGo.com.

2017 WT SOFTBALL GAME NOTES “IT’S WHO WE ARE” | UBUNTU

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 11 years at the helm, he has registered a 424-235 mark, re-corded six NCAA tournament berths and an overall record of 776-512 over 24 seasons.

While at WT, Blaskowski has claimed four Lone Star Conference title, three LSC Tournament Title, three South Central Regional Championships, two South Central Super Regional Titles and made a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division II College World Series, claiming the 2014 NCAA Division II National Championship. 2016 was arguably one of the best seasons in Lone Star Conference history as the Lady Buffs finished the season ranked fifth in the final NFCA DII Top-25 Poll with an overall record of 59-5 while rolling thru the LSC with an incredible mark of 30-2 to claim their third straight conference title. The Lady Buffs started out the season on a roll as they went unbeaten in their first 30 contests to set a new LSC and South Central Region record for consecutive wins. WT claimed their third straight LSC Title with over two weeks left in the regular season followed by a run to the LSC Tournament Championship, WT then hosted the South Central Regionals as they came thru the loser’s bracket with a pair of Sunday wins over Colorado Mesa including a walkoff homerun in the finale. The Lady Buffs then hosted St. Mary’s in the Super Regionals and a Schaeffer Park record crowd sparked a sweep of the Rattlers as WT made their second trip to the DII College World Series. The Lady Buffs continued their dominance in 2015 as Blaskowski led the program to their second straight and third overall Lone Star Conference Championship as they finished the season 45-11 with a 22-6 mark in LSC play. WT made national news during the 2015 season, remaining the top team in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Top-25 Poll for a record 56-straight weeks (2/26/14 - 3/25/15). WT led the nation in four offensive statustical categories during the 2015 season while also hitting 102 homeruns to become the first team in Division II history to reach the century mark in back-to-back years after hitting 105 bombs in 2014. Senior outfielder Renee Erwin concluded her incredible collegiate career in style as the Anna, Texas native became the first player in history to be named a back-to-back winner of the Daktronics Ron Lenz National Player of the Year award. 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 Conference 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 centerfield-er 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 advanced 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 Decem-ber 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, Blaskow-ski 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 SAU, Blas-kowski 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 Wesley-an University, in Salina, Kan. 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, Physical Education and Recreation at Emporia State University in Kansas in 1989. Blaskowski and his beautiful wife, April, are the parents of two daughters, Kaelyn Rose and Kelsey Rhea.
