2007 (Freshman)
It wasn't the 204.2 innings she pitched during the course of the season or the fact that she won 17 games (2nd-best all time for a Tech pitcher in a season, and good enough to already rank her in a tie for 5th all-time [with Losleben] on the all-time list), it was the fact that she threw 400 pitches over 29 hours against some of the nation's most potent offenses at the Big 12 Championships that had journalists scratching their own bleary eyes as they counted ... She finished with 152 strikeouts--good enough to land her as No. 6 on Tech's all-time list, and she was among the nation's leaders in wins for most of the year until a bad team stretch to begin the conference season stalled her win numbers.
