February 27, 2024 | Softball
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech is set to play its first mid-week game of the season as they travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico to take on New Mexico on Wednesday at 2 p.m. CT at the Lobo Softball Field.
Â
The Red Raiders (12-3) are coming off a perfect 5-0 weekend in which they played in the North Texas Tournament. The team had two spectacular come-from-behind wins on Saturday against Minnesota and North Texas in which they were down 6-0 and 5-1, respectively, entering the sixth inning.
Â
New Mexico (4-13) also played in the North Texas Tournament but did not face the Red Raiders or have the same success as they went 1-4 in Denton.
Â
Historically, Tech is 25-17 against the Lobos and have won the last matchups including all three of their meetings last season.

STORYLINES:
- For the third week in a row, the Red Raiders are receiving votes in the ESPN/USA Softball.com Poll. Tech hasn't received votes or been ranked in the top 25 since the 2020 season.
- A host of Red Raiders recorded career milestones in Denton. Freshman Mimi Blackledge earned her first collegiate start in the circle and recorded her first strikeout. Raegan Jennings and Makenna Mitchell, also freshman, picked up their first hits in the team's comeback victory over Minnesota on Saturday.
- Olivia Rains recorded her third win of the season, marking the first time she has reached three wins in a single season.
- Carson Armijo and Riley Love both set new career-highs for doubles in a season (6) while Love has also set career-highs in home runs (3) and RBIs (15).
- Junior Maddie Kuehl has been a pleasant surprise for Coach Craig Snider and staff this season. She entered the year having pitched just 30.1 innings but has already more than doubled that through nine appearances. Kuehl also has a 4-2 record with two saves and an impressive 1.78 ERA.
