LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech senior pitcher Amanda Renfro leads the nation in victories with 25 in this week's NCAA statistics, released Tuesday.

The Houston, Texas, native holds a 25-15 record with a 1.10 earned-run-average, collecting 251 strikeouts in 266.1 innings pitched this season. She has allowed 180 hits and walked just 59, while opponents have batted only .190 against her this year.

Oklahoma's Jennifer Stewart stands 23-3, while Baylor's Joni Miller has 22 wins and Missouri's Stephanie Falk stands at 19 after Sunday's games.

Renfro also stands tied for 18th this week in strikeouts per seven innings at 9.2, the same as Drexel's Lori Swanson. Nebraska's Leigh Ann Walker is tied for third and Jessica Slataper is tied for 16th in the category, the only other Big 12 pitchers in the rankings.

Tech returns to action next weekend with a two-game series at Missouri. The Red Raiders finish home play on April 28-29 with a weekend series against Iowa State.
