THE COACHES

Maumausolo will be joined by two long-time assistant coaches: Chastity "CJ" Johnson (13th season) and Jason Contreras (7th season). 

KEY RETURNERS

Danica Black was a Second Team All-Conference selection last season after spending time in centerfield and on the rubber during her freshman campaign. She carried a fielding percentage of .967 and a batting average of .267 through 39 games. The Orcutt Academy graduate also sat down 14 batters and collected four wins through 49.2 innings of work in the circle. 

Delayna Quezada was also a Second Team All-Conference designee last season. The Arroyo Grande native collected seven wins and one save in the circle while issuing 40 strikeouts through 70.2 innings. Quezada closed the spring with a .330 batting average with 12 RBIs and seven doubles on 30 hits.  

NEWCOMERS TO WATCH

Notable Transfers:
  • Shayla Bautista - Transfer from Cuesta College. Picked up a Second Team All-Conference nod last season after leading the Cougars with a .551 on-base percentage. 
Notable Freshman:
  • Rianna Dulay is anticipated to serve the program at third base this year. The graduate of X brings a work ethic and attitude that leads the way when it comes to her presence on the field. 
  • Kaylee Dolores is expected to step in and fill the role of the shortstop this season. The product of X has a great chance at chasing the program's stolen base record with her notable quickness.
