THE GAMES
Off to the best one of the best starts in school history, Tarleton State will take its current four-game winning streak to Canyon this weekend for a tournament of in-region foes at the WT Woodward Invitational.
THE INVITATIONAL
The West Texas A&M Woodward Invitational consists of 12 teams from across the Lone Star Conference and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference for a three-day event stretched over two facilities in Canyon. Tarleton State will play all six games this weekend at Buffalo Sports Park, where Internet access is limited and will not allow for live stats to be displayed.
THE OPPONENTS: FRIDAY
All six of Tarleton's games this weekend will be against teams from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, beginning with the first-ever meeting against Chadron State (0-6) Friday at 11:30 a.m. The second game puts Tarleton against Colorado Mesa, against whom Tarleton owns a 4-0 all-time record against dating back to 2000.
THE OPPONENTS: SATURDAY
Tarleton will open play Saturday at 11:30 a.m. against Metro State in a rematch of last season's first meeting between the TexAnns and Roadrunners that ended in a 2-7 loss for Tarleton at the WT Tournament. The Purple and White will wrap up the second day with a contest against Colorado Mines, against whom Tarleton defeated twice in 2012 for a 2-0 all-time lead in the series.
THE OPPONENTS: SUNDAY
Tarleton will wrap up the tournament with back-to-back games Sunday afternoon, beginning with Colorado State-Pueblo at 10:30 a.m. The TexAnns and Thunderwolves have met two times before – once in 2006 and once last year – with Tarleton winning both games by a combined score of 15-8. The tournament will conclude for Tarleton with a 12:30 contest against Adams State in the fifth career meeting of the two teams. Adams State won the first meeting in 1996, but Tarleton has won the last three meetings in the series under head coach
Julie Mata.
LSC HITTER OF THE WEEK
Conlee got off to one of the most incredible offensive starts in Tarleton State history last week, earning 10 hits in her first 10 at bats of the hits en route to a .692 batting average for the week. She has a hit in every game so far this season, including going 7-7 with 10 RBIs and three extra-base hits in the season-opening sweep of Southwestern Oklahoma last Monday. Among players with at least five at bats, Conlee is leading the Lone Star Conference in batting average after the opening week as well as leading the conference in hits (18), RBIs (14) and total bases (28).
