Going into her fourth season as the head coach of Lady Buff volleyball, Kim Hudson had already begun the road to success by reaching the Elite Eight in 1989. Despite the graduation of All-American twin sisters Jill and Julie Myatt, another pair of future All-American sisters came to WT from Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1990, and Ana Carolina "Carol" and Ana Cristina "Tita" Pereira promptly led the Lady Buffs to a school-best 38-1 record and the school's first-ever national championship.
The Lady Buffs defeated Chapman in the South Central Regional Final at Tascosa High School in Amarillo, losing just one game, and then in Bakersfield, Calif., at the Elite Eight, WT swept three-game matches over Florida Southern, Portland State, and North Dakota State. The victory over NDSU was 15-0, 15-5, and 15-3.
The following year the Lady Buffs repeated their national championship with a 36-2 mark under new head coach Jim Giacomazzi, who replaced Hudson two weeks prior to the start of the regular season in August 1991. Again in the South Central Regional Final they won at Tascosa High School over LSC rival Angelo State, 15-8, 15-7, and 15-9. And then the Lady Buffs swept three-game matches over Gannon and Florida Southern at the Amarillo Civic Center. In the championship final, played before an NCAA Division II post-season record crowd of 3,188, WT captured another national title with a 15-10, 15-5, 15-12 sweep over Portland State.
Tita Pereira played two years at WT as a middle blocker and was a two-time first team All-American and the 1991 NCAA Division II Player of the Year. She had 1,211 kills and a career hitting percentage of .493, and her 1991 percentage of .493 and 1990 percentage of .492 rank second and third best in Lady Buff history behind Carol. Tita also holds the season school record of 79 block solos in 1991 and the match hitting percentage .917 against then-East Texas State on Sept. 20th, 1991.
Her two-year record at WT was an incredible 74-3, which includes a 40-match winning streak over 1990-91, along with the back-to-back national championships.
