Feb. 24, 2012
• The meeting was the 24th all-time between the two schools as Tech now holds 13-11 lead in the series. Tech has now won four of the last five contests.
• The shutout marked Tech's second of the season as the Red Raiders previously defeated Long Beach State, 2-0, Feb. 17 in Las Vegas.
• Tech had shut out Texas State twice previously in the series with the last occurrence coming in a 1-0 victory on March 15, 2007 in the first game of a doubleheader in El Paso.
• The shutout also marked the first for Brittany Talley this season and her first since defeating Nebraska, 5-0 on May 1 last year. It was Talley's third total shutout of her career.
• Talley also tossed her second-straight complete game as she held DePaul to just one run over seven innings last Sunday in Tech's 2-1 victory. The sophomore has allowed just two runs over her last 21 innings.
• The performance also marked the fourth-straight game where a Tech pitcher has thrown a complete game as Cara Custer also has gone the distance in two of those outings.
• Raven Richardson hit her second home run of the season with a three-run shot in the fifth inning. The dinger was Richardson's 16th of her career which moves her into sole possession of seventh in the school record book.
• The dinger also marked just the third of 13 this year for Tech that was not a solo shot. The only other three-run homer this year came from Sandy James last Saturday against Portland State.
