Wofford Adds Texas Tech To Schedule

The Wofford College baseball program has announced the addition of a
three-game series at Texas Tech (May 8-10) to its 2003 schedule.

The trip to Lubbock, Texas, will represent the farthest west a Terrier
baseball team has traveled. It will also be Wofford's first baseball
competition against a Big 12 opponent.

"This series fits in with our philosophy of playing a difficult
non-conference schedule while also providing our team with an
educational experience," Wofford Head Coach Steve Traylor said. "Our
players will have the opportunity to get on an airplane, see a different
part of the country, and face a Top 25 team."

Texas Tech finished the 2002 season with an overall record of 42-20,
while placing in a tie for second with Nebraska in the Big 12 standings.
The Red Raiders advanced to the NCAA Regionals for the eighth straight
year as the squad earned a No. 2 seed at the Rice Regional in Houston.
Tech's eight consecutive NCAA Tournament bids is the longest active
streak in the Big 12.

The Terriers posted a 26-31 record this past year for their highest win
total in seven seasons of Division I play and their most victories since
a school record 30 in 1991. Picked to finish no higher than 10th in all
major preseason polls, Wofford placed in a tie for sixth in the SoCon
with a 14-16 mark. The Terriers' 14 league victories were the most in
their five seasons of SoCon play, surpassing the previous best of 10
wins established in 1998.
