4. 2016 LADY BUFF VOLLEYBALL GAME NOTES
Entering his eighth season at West Texas A&M in 2016,
head coach Jason Skoch looks to build upon the great success
of his first seven years as the Lady Buffs’ leader.
The 2014 campaign was another dominating run thru
the Lone Star Conference for the Lady Buffs as they went a
perfect 16-0 in league play to claim their 19th LSC Championship
while registering a perfect league record for the 16th time
since the 1986 season. The Lady Buffs participated in their 10th straight and 25th overall
apearance in the NCAA Postseason as they made an appearance in the South Central
Regional Semifinals before dropping a five-set thriller to host Colorado Mesa in Grand
Juntion to finish the season with an overall record of 32-5. Skoch was named the LSC
Coach of the Year for the second straight season and his fourth overall award since
joining the league prior to the 2009 season.
2013 saw the Lady Buffs continue their dominance of the Lone Star Conference as the team went a perfect
16-0 in league play to claim the program’s 18th LSC Title. WT hosted the South Central Regional Tournament at
“The Box” as they claimed the program’s 13th Regional Title, the Lady Buffs advanced to the National Semifinal
match before falling to BYU-Hawaii in a five-set thriller. Skoch was named the American Volleyball Coaches
Association (AVCA) South Central Region Coach of the Year as well as the LSC Coach of the Year for his efforts.
The 2012 season saw the Lady Buffs claim the LSC Tournament Title after a thrilling five set win over Angelo
State in San Angelo, Texas followed by WT taking the South Central Regional Championship to make the
program’s 12th appearance in the NCAA Elite Eight held in Pensacola, Florida. WT finished the season with an
overall record of 33-5.
In 2011, the Lady Buffs went 34-3 including a 19-1 mark in the LSC for their sixth consecutive and 17th overall
LSC Championship. WT made its seventh consecutive trip to the NCAA postseason, Skoch picked up his second
consecutive LSC Coach of the Year honor. The Lady Buffs put their mark in the NCAA Record Books in 2011,
recording the longest conference win streak in Division II history of 87 matches from Sept. 8, 2006 – Sept. 17,
2011.
In 2010, the Lady Buffs finished the season with a 27-9 overall record and a flawless 14-0 mark in the LSC. The
team won its fifth consecutive LSC Championship and 16th overall. WT reached the NCAA Postseason for a
sixth consecutive season before Emporia State in the opening round of the South Central Regional Tournament.
Skoch was named the LSC Coach of the Year.
In his first season with the team in 2009, Skoch (rhymes with ‘coach’) led the ultra-successful Lady Buffs to
fourth-consecutive and 15th all-time Lone Star Conference title, 20th NCAA Regional tournament appearance
and 11th NCAA Regional title, and 11th NCAA Elite Eight appearance. The team experienced their fourth
National Championship match appearance in Lady Buff history and finished second behind three-time national

Skoch currently boasts an incredible career win-loss record of 336-50 (.870) in his 10 years as
a head coach, including a 200-30 (.870) mark in his six seasons at the helm of the Lady Buffs.

While at Truman State, he compiled a 137-22 record (.861), made five consecutive
trips to the NCAA Tournament, developed 11 All-America student-athletes as well as two
MIAA Most Valuable Players. The Bulldogs were MIAA regular-season and tournament
champions in both 2006 and 2007, and spent a portion of the 2005 campaign
ranked number-one in the national polls. Additionally, the Bulldogs have been
ranked in the AVCA Division II Top 25 Poll every week during his tenure as head
coach. While still at Truman, Skoch recruited the 2009 AVCA National Freshman
of the Year, Megan Sharpe.
Skoch came to Truman after spending one season as an assistant coach at
Mississippi State University. He was part of a first-year coaching staff which led
Mississippi State to an improvement of 11 wins overall and tied a school record
for the most wins in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play.
Skoch also had previous NCAA Division II experience as he was an assistant
coach at Central Oklahoma in 2003. Other coaching experience for Skoch
includes spending one season as head coach with the Stillwater Volleyball Club
and the Kaeppa Oklahoma Charge Volleyball Club. He is a former player with

State University.
Skoch earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Oklahoma State in
1998, with a major in statistics and a minor in mathematics. He earned a
