ACC Champs!: Last weekend, the Hokies accomplished something never done before in winning a conference regular season
title. Now in their 12th year as a varsity program, the Hokies have previously played in the Atlantic 10, Big East and now the
Atlantic Coast Conference, never winning a regular season or tournament title. With a 15-5 league record, Tech has captured
the regular season title and will face eighth-seeded Virginia in the first round of the ACC Tournament on Thursday, May 10 at
3 p.m., in Tallahassee, Fla.
Scouting the Flames: Liberty is 34-21 on the year and leads the Big South with a 9-3 mark. The Flames have an RPI of 40 and
own wins over then-No. 23 Hawaii and then-No. 6 Michigan. At the plate, three big bats lead the way. Dawn Jeffs is batting
.431 with 14 home runs and 35 RBI while senior Jessica Moore is hitting .425 with 17 RBI and 48 RBI. Ashley Williams is
batting .344 with 11 home runs. As a team, Liberty hits .291 with 66 home runs. In the circle, Terra Lowe is 15-7 with a teamlow ERA of 2.43 and 144 strikeouts. Sarah Swor is 5-6 with a 2.78 ERA while Sarah Ellis is 12-7. The Flames’ team ERA is
2.78.
Series History: The two schools have met 28 previous times with the Hokies winning 17 of those contests. Of late, Liberty has
closed the gap, sweeping the Hokies last year at Blacksburg, 6-5 and 3-0. Liberty won the first five contests in the series which
began in 1996, but Tech at one point won 14 of 15 to take a sizeable lead. Tech is 7-5 at Lynchburg, last playing there in 2005
and sweeping the Flames 4-1 and 4-2.
Climbing the Charts: Junior pitcher Angela Tincher (Eagle Rock, Va.) is in the process of obliterating the Tech record books,
but now she’s starting to make some noise in the ACC and NCAA record books. She has 1,370 career strikeouts, second-best
in ACC history. She should break Jessica Sallinger’s record of 1,398 at the ACC Tournament. She is also the NCAA’s No. 2
pitcher in terms of career strikeouts per seven innings, averaging 13.4 per game. That total trails only the all-time strikeout
leader, Cat Osterman of Texas, who averaged 14.3 Ks per seven innings. This year, she has a school-record 517 strikeouts
in 240.2 innings of work, an average of 14.2 per seven innings. She also has won a school-record 32 games and stands tied
for eighth all-time in NCAA history for career strikeouts. Last month, she became the 13th member of the NCAA’s 1,300
strikeout club and has been named one of 25 finalists for the USA Softball National Player of the Year for the second straight
year.
RPI Enhancers: The Virginia Tech softball team has already picked up 19 wins over teams that made the NCAA Tournament
a year ago and stand ninth in the NCAA’s Official RPI Report. Tech has three wins over Tennessee Tech (RPI 42nd), two over
North Carolina (21st), Georgia Tech (14th), NC State (17th) and Florida State (37th) and one over Georgia (34th), Illinois
State (19th), Lehigh, Auburn (46th), Notre Dame, Ohio State (26th), Hofstra (43rd) and Tulsa (63rd). In addition, Tech has
a 1-0 loss to eighth-ranked (RPI) Michigan and a win over 28th-rated South Carolina. Also, the Hokies have nine wins over
teams ranked in one of the top 25 polls when they played the game and 17 wins against RPI Top 50 team.
Mark Your Calendars: The NCAA will announces its 64-team Championship Field on Sunday, May 13 live between 3 and 4
p.m., on ESPNEWS. At that time, the 16 regional sites will also be announced.
We Will Prevail: For the rest of the season, the Tech softball team will wear commemorative patches
on their uniforms, as well as a sticker on their batting helmets, in remembrance of the 32 people
killed in the tragedy on April 16th. A moment of silence will be held before each home event of
every sport and the softball team will sport special warm up shirts featuring an except from Nikki
Giovanni’s “We Are Virginia Tech” speech for the rest of the season.

Working Summer Vacation: Angela Tincher spent part of her summer vacation donning
the red, white and blue of the United States as part of the World University Games. She
was one of four pitchers selected by USA Softball for the team which competed in Taiwan
last July. For the 12-game tour (the U.S. went 9-3), she made seven appearances with three
starts. She gave up four earned runs in 22.2 innings for an ERA of 1.24 with 23 strikeouts.
The team started with a scrimmage against the U.S. Olympic Team, and then traveled to
Taiwan for the World University Games. They then went to Chicago for a four-game series
against the Chicago Bandits of the NPF to complete the 26-day trip. Tincher kept a blog
on hokiesports.com, keeping fans up to date on her travels. To see those entries, go to:

What’s a Hokie?
Just Virginia Tech, Please
That's the most often-asked question regarding
Virginia Tech athletics. The answer leads all the
way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and
Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia
Polytechnic Institute.
With the change came the necessity for writing
a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was
held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull won
first prize for his "Old Hokie" yell which still is used
today.
Later, when asked if "Hokie" had any special
meaning, Stull explained the words he used had no
hidden or symbolic meaning, but had been thought
up in an effort to get attention. Hokie soon became
a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people
loyal to Tech athletics.
Following is the "Old Hokie" yell in its original
form:
While the full name of the school
is Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University, the school is commonly
referred to as “Virginia Tech.”
Founded in 1872, as Virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical College, the
university changed its named to Virginia
Polytechnic Institute in 1896.
Fans of the athletic department,
as well as media covering the Hokies,
shortened the name to VPI, but it
eventually became Virginia Tech.
The “State University” was added in
1970 to bring the official title to what it is
today.
Those covering Hokie athletics are
asked to refer to the university as simply
“Virginia Tech.”
Virginia Tech University, VPI and
SU, VPI&SU, VT or VA Tech are not
recognized names and should not be
used.

Notes From the
Season
Those Wins Were For Justin
The Hokie softball team made a special
and emotional visit to the UVa Medical
Center on Saturday, April 7, hours before their
doubleheader with in-state rival Virginia. The
team walked from its hotel to visit 11-yearold Justin Harris, a huge Hokie fan who is
undergoing treatment for Ewing Sarcoma, a rare
childhood cancer.
His battle with cancer began when doctors
found tumors in his arms, but the tumors have
since moved to his legs, and now throughout his
entire body. Justin is from Crimora, Va., near
Waynesboro, and has been battling this deadly
disease for almost two years.
He has been traveling between St. Jude’s
Hospital in Memphis, his home in Crimora and
now Charlottesville, where he is staying. His
cancer took a turn for the worse and he is now
unable to get back to St Jude, so he is at UVa,
where his lungs and heart are filling with fluid.
The team took him plenty of Tech gear,
including T-shirts, stuffed animals, a card from
head football coach Frank Beamer and then
autographed a media guide for him. They told
him they were dedicating the day’s games to
him, which they won 2-1 and 10-0. After the
game, the team signed the game ball and took
it back to him. For more information on Justin,
or to donate money to help defray his family’s
rising medical costs, go to Justin’s Web site at
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/justinharris
RPI Fever
The first RPI report from WarrenNolan.
com came out in early April, placing the Hokies
12th in the nation, with the nation’s seventhtoughest schedule in the nation.

the Pac 10, SEC and Big 12, respectively.
Tech is 12th as of April 25th with the No.
10 schedule in the country. Georgia Tech is
second in the ACC, coming in at 15th. NC State

Tiger Invitational Champions
The Hokies built on a strong first weekend by winning the Tiger
Invitational, hosted by Auburn. The Hokies opened with a 2-0 win over
Tennessee Tech before beating Tulsa, 2-1. The next day, Tech beat the host
Tigers 1-0 but then fell to Alabama-Birmingham in a wild one, 10-9. The
final day, Tech bounced back to beat Notre Dame 2-0 to claim the title.
Angela Tincher (Eagle Rock, Va.) was named the tournament’s Most
Valuable Pitcher after throwing three one-hit shutouts and striking out 49.
Stephanie Savre (Simi Valley, Calif.) and Caroline Stolle (Chester,
Va.) both made the all-tournament team after batting .467 and .429,
respectively.
Knight Games Champions
Tech went 3-1 at the Knight Games to win their third tournament
of the season. The Hokies opened with an 8-0 win over Jacksonville
State before scratching out a 2-1 win over UCF. After falling to Eastern
Michigan, Tech bounced back to beat Stetson 3-0 in the title game.
She got back to her perfect ways on March 24, throwing the first
extra-inning perfect game in school history when she beat Florida State
1-0 in eight innings. She struck out 18 and sat down all 24 batters that she
faced to pick up her school-record 10th no-hitter of her career. For her play,
she was named the National Co-Player of the Week by USA Softball and
the NFCA’s National Player of the Week.
The Broadway Bandit
Callie Rhodes (Broadway, Va.) is the fastest player on the Tech team
and should be running a lot. Rhodes currently has 28 swipes, coming on
31 attempts. As a team, the Hokies are 61-for-71 on attempts this season.
Rhodes picked up her 100th career stolen base at Florida State on March
24 and now has 109 for her career.
Gettin’ It Done In The Classroom
Junior Angela Tincher (Eagle Rock, Va.) has been a spark plug on the
field, but is also getting it done in the classroom.
Last year, she was named a second-team Academic All-American

Walk This Way
Junior catcher Kelsey Hoffman (Tequesta, Fla.) tied the school record
when drew four walks in Tech’s 6-2 win over Georgia State on Feb. 11. In
her two previous at bats in the game against UAB, she also drew walks,
running her streak of consecutive walks to six. She extended that streak to
seven when she drew a walk in her first at bat against Tennessee Tech.
While it’s not an official record, it’s believed to be a school record as
the only other player to draw four walks in a game (Megan Evans, 2002)
didn’t draw any walks in the game previous or following.
Perfection!
Junior Angela Tincher (Eagle Rock, Va.) made the all-tournament
team at the NFCA Leadoff Classic after going 3-1 with a 0.52 ERA and
54 strikeouts in 27.0 innings. But it was her performance against Lehigh
that got the crowd buzzing. She tossed just the second perfect game in
the Classic’s 12-year history in the 4-0 win. She threw just 80 pitches and
struck out 16 in pitching the fourth perfect game in Virginia Tech softball
history.
At the USF-adidas Invitational, she tossed a pair of no-hitters to
bring her total to three on the season. She opened the tournament with 18
strikeouts in no-hitting Fordham, and then came back in the final game of
the tournament to strike out 12 in tossing the no-hitter against Ohio State.

In the Polls
The Hokie softball team made its 2007
debut in the USA Softball/ESPN Poll on March
20 and currently stands in the No. 18 spot, the
highest its ever been ranked. The team also is
ranked 23rd in the NFCA/USA Today Coaches’
Poll, marking the first time the Hokies have ever
been in that poll.
USA Softball Recognition
Pitcher Angela Tincher (Eagle Rock, Va.) is
one of 25 finalists up for the USA Softball Player
of the Year Award. Last year, as a sophomore, she
was one of 10 finalists for the award and is one of
just four (three of whom are pitchers) from last
year’s final 10 who return this year.
The other returners are Monica Abbott
(Tennessee, P, Sr.), Caitlin Lowe (Arizona, OF,
Sr.) and Anjelica Selden (UCLA, P, Jr.).
A Tough Schedule
When postseason rolls around, the selection
committee should find the Hokies’ RPI to
among the nation’s best with the 2007 schedule
head coach Scot Thomas put together. On this
year’s slate are 12 teams that went to the NCAA
Tournament last year.
In addition, eight teams in either the top 25
or receiving votes in the NFCA or USA Softball
Polls appear on the Hokies’ schedule this year,
led by the University of Michigan, Illinois State,
North Carolina, Ohio State, Florida State and
Georgia Tech.
This year already, Tech owns 19 wins over
2006 NCAA Tournament teams (three over
Tennessee Tech, two over Georgia Tech, North
Carolina, NC State and Florida State and one
over Auburn, Notre Dame, Tulsa, Lehigh,
Georgia, Hofstra, Ohio State and Illinois State)
and nine wins over teams ranked in the top 25
when they played them.

What a Weekend!
Tech pitching coach Tiffany McVay
had to be pleased with her staff ’s effort at
the USF-adidas Invitational as three pitchers
picked up victories. Angela Tincher (Eagle
Rock, Va.) pitched two no-hitters and Karie
Morrison (Great Falls, Va.) and Heather Lowry
(Riverdale, Ga.) combined to shut out Western
Michigan. For the eight-game tournament, the
staff gave up just one earned run for an ERA of
0.12.
As a staff, the Hokies own a 1.43 ERA,
10th-best in the country.
Eight in a Row
Senior Callie Rhodes (Broadway, Va.) had
a record-breaking weekend at Florida State,
hitting .700 in a weekend series. She also picked
up three stolen bases and an RBI. In the first
game, she went 4-for-4 with two swipes before
picking up three more hits, an RBI and a stolen
base in the second game. Going back to her final
at bat against Georgia Tech the weekend before,
she picked up a hit in eight straight at bats, the
fourth-longest streak in NCAA history.
NCAA Leaders
The first NCAA stats were released on
April 10 and to no surprise, Angela Tincher
(Eagle Rock, Va.) is near the top of every
pitching category. She is first in ERA (0.58),
second in strikeouts per seven innings (14.3) and
second in victories (32).

The Tazewell Terminator
Tech got a diamond in the rough when
it asked Whitney Davis (Tazewell, Va.) to be
an invited walk-on. She has turned out to be a
talented player and is manning the right field
position. The freshman has started 35 games
and is batting .228. She had game-winning hits
in consecutive games coming against Western
Michigan and Ohio State over Spring Break and
has been a steady player in the outfield.

Youth is Served
As good as the 2007 season is going, Tech
fans have to be even more excited about next
year. All nine starting position players, including
the top two pitchers, are scheduled to return. The
only senior starter is Callie Rhodes (Broadway,
Va.), Tech’s leadoff batter who is the DP. That
spot appears to be in good hands with her sister,
Jenna Rhodes the top candidate to take over.
She proved she is capable to replace her big sis,
picking up three hits in against Campbell.
