Candace Abrams enters her first
season at the helm of the Lady Buffs
following three years as the program’s
top assistant.
Since arriving in Canyon, Abrams
has been a part of two Lone Star
Conference Championships as well as
a South Central Regional Title and trip
to the DII College World Series. Abrams
also serves as the staff advisor for the
“Hollerin Herd” and she was named the
2016 Advisor of the Year.
Abrams enters the 2018 season with
an overall career record of 202-65-1
(.754). The Tucson native registered her
100th career victory on May 9, 2015
in a 7-6 extra inning victory on Angelo
State during the NCAA South Central
Regional Tournament in Canyon. Her
200th career win came on May 5, 2017
as the Lady Buffs topped Cameron (7-6)
during the Semifinal Round of the LSC
Championship in San Angelo.
The Lady Buffs continued to prove
themselves as one of the top programs
in all of Division II Softball during the
2017 campaign as they claimed the
program’s fourth Lone Star Conference
Tournament Championship and hosted
the NCAA South Central Regional
Tournament for the fifth straight season.
The Lady Buffs hit .371 as a team with
120 doubles, 10 triples and 98 homeruns
to drive in 401 RBI for an incredible
slugging percentage of .667.
2016 was arguably one of the best
seasons in Lone Star Conference history
as the Lady Buffs finished the season

GOBUFFSGO.COM
Lacey Taylor enters her second season as an Assistant Coach for the Lady Buffs after making the
transition from the field to the dugout in 2017 as the former Lady Buff All-American joined the WT
Softbal coaching staff. Taylor is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Sports Management from
West Texas A&M after graduating with her bachelor’s degree in Sports & Exercise Science in May
of 2016.
The Byers, Texas native was an instrumental part of WT’s continues success during her first
season on staff in 2017 as the Lady Buffs claimed the program’s fourth Lone Star Conference
Tournament Title and hosted the NCAA
South Central Regional Tournament for
the fifth straight season. The Lady Buffs hit
.371 as a team with 120 doubles, 10 triples
and 98 homeruns to drive in 401 RBI for an
incredible slugging percentage of .667.
Taylor became the fourth player in
program history to have her number honored on the outfield wall at
Schaeffer Park on Saturday, February 11th as her No. 23 joined Kim
LeComte (10), Alyssa Lemos (3) and Renee Erwin (34).
Taylor cemented herself as one of the top players to ever wear the
Maroon & White as she registered an overall record of 208-36 (.853)
during her career to become the winningest Lady Buff in history alongside
fellow four-year senior Brittany Gehle. Taylor led WT to an overall record
of 95-19 (.833) in Lone Star Conference play to claim three straight LSC
Titles along with a pair of LSC Tournament Titles.
The Lady Buffs turned Schaeffer Park into one of the best home
environments in the country as WT went an incredible 125-16 (.887) in
Canyon during Taylor’s career, leading all of Division II in attendance
in 2015 and 2016. WT hosted three NCAA South Central Regional
Tournaments and two South Central Super Regionals in which WT won
both and made a pair of appearances in the Division II College World
Series, winning the 2014 DII National Championship.
She finished her career with 214 appearances and 197 starts as she
registered a .362 batting average with 40 doubles, three triples and 30
homeruns to drive in 173 RBI for a slugging percentage of .619 while
walking 140
times for an on-base clip of .499. Behind the plate, she registered
the second highest fielding percentage in program history (.944) and
ranking fourth in putouts (775) with just five errors in four seasons.
