Introducing the 2010 City College Softball Team
The 2010 Santa Barbara City College Softball squad will begin its 12th season under the direction of Head Coach Dr. Paula Congleton and Assistant Coach Bill Hilliard (8th Year) and Allison Slade (2nd Year). The Vaqueros are returning only 3 sophomores and Leanna Corral a transfer from Allan Hancock. This year's team will be energized by 14 eager and talented freshmen. The Vaqueros will look for returners Amanda Sharp, Kellee Venturi, infielders; and Lauren Takayesu, outfield to provide the leadership for this year’s team.
Some may consider this a re-building year, however, Congleton suggests otherwise. "We have reloaded our team with a group of very talented student-athletes looking to continue the tradition of excellence. If you think about it, every year at the community college level could potentially be re-building." The new squad brings challenges and renewed energy that is expected to catapult the young Vaqueros into the Southern California Regional and State Championships.
Head Coach Dr. Paula Congleton and her staff believe that they have put together a competitive team that is developing into a cohesive unit. The goal is always work hard to improve in order to become a threat as we reach postseason play. After evaluating a successful fall season in which the Vaqueros responded with a solid dose of team character and game winning confidence, the coaching staff liked what they saw. Each position runs 2 or 3 deep which creates daily competition. Around the diamond we have: Amanda Sharp and Kellee Venturi as our primary first basemen; Jasmyne Holmes and Paty Martinez at second base; Leanna Corral and Lisa Zeitlin at Short stop; Laura Cannon at third base; Lindsie Holloway and Janelle Wong behind the plate; Kailey Snyder, Jeana Carrillo, Sara Gazzaniga, and Liliana Caughman as our pitching staff; and Lauren Takayesu, Joan Cannon, Katie McEwan, Nicole Adair, and Elicity Fabing patrolling the outfield. The other exciting feature about this team is that each player is very versatile, having the ability to play multiple positions.
Promise abounds as the young Vaqueros head into their season opener on Saturday, January 30th. The only thing that stands in their way is a lack of collegiate experience. The Vaqueros play at Pershing Park - Game times for Home Opener are 1:00pm and 3:00pm against Foothill College.
