WADE WILSON OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVRESITY led the Bulldogs to a dominant debut in the program’s inaugural season in the SCAC. Texas Lutheran has won 21 of its 22 conference games (29-7 overall) and outscored its SCAC opponents 194-29 while batting .393 as a team and notching a 1.34 ERA in conference competition. The team’s .955 conference winning percentage is the highest since the DePauw University team went 14-0 in the SCAC East in 2009. In his three years at the helm of the Bulldog program and heading into this weekend’s conference tournament, Wilson has amassed an 81-36 overall record, which includes a 33-10 overall mark (22-2 in the American Southwest Conference) last season when Texas Lutheran garnered its first West Division title. This is the second consecutive conference Coach-of-the-Year honor for Wilson as he was honored as ASC Coach-of-the-Year last season.

Wilson garnered four votes from his peers for SCAC Coach-of-the-Year, while Beth Krysiak of the University of Dallas, Jessica Peterka of Schreiner University and Brandi Crnkovic of Trinity University received one vote each.
