In just two seasons Head Coach Wendy Hogue helped lead the Golden Eagles to their most successful season since 2004. The Golden Eagles posted their first 30-win season since the ’04 season and won the Conference USA West Division, but ended their season in the semifinals of the conference tournament.
The biggest contributing factor to the team’s success was having statistical improvement in almost every category.
The biggest and most significant jump was the team’s earned run average. In the 2015 season, the team averaged a 4.47 ERA and dropped it to a 3.62 in 2016.
The emergence of junior Samantha Robles last season helped the pitching staff achieve such success.
