The West Texas A&M softball team is off to its best start since the program was revived in the 2006 season.

The Lady Buffs won their first eight games before losing 8-4 to Missouri Western on Sunday.
"It was one of those games where we felt in control most of the game," WT coach Kevin Blaskowski said. "It just got away from us."

While WT has had some solid pitching to count on, the offense has stepped it up as well. Kaitlyn Witte has gotten in a groove after getting off to a slow start, with 12 RBIs.
