SBCC had a great start and finish to the 2010 softball campaign with a no-hitter along the way.
 The Vaqueros (23-14, 9-7 WSC North) opened with a 6-1 record and closed with a 5-1 mark on the way to a fourth-place finish in the WSC Gold Division. They were 11-2 at the beginning and end of the season but just 12-12 in the other games.
 "That's the inconsistency of this team," said coach Paula Congleton after a doubleheader split with second-place Moorpark late in the year. "We're consistently inconsistent."
 Fourteen of the 17 players were freshman. The 23 wins were the second-highest in Congleton's 12 seasons as head coach.
 Center fielder Joan Cannon, a freshman from Berkeley, earned All-WSC first-team honors after batting .368 with 27 stolen bases, the third-highest total in the WSC. Cannon had a team-high 46 hits and struck out just five times in 125 at-bats and didn't make a single error in 52 chances.
 Kailey Snyder, a freshman from St. Joseph High, was a second-team choice. Shortstop Laura Cannon (Joan's twin sister) and first baseman Amanda Sharp made honorable mention. Snyder went 6-5 on the mound with a 1.20 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 81 innings. She also batted .373 with two home runs and a .600 slugging percentage.
 Laura Cannon hit .304 with a team-best 30 runs. She also had 41 hits and 30 RBI. Sharp, a sophomore infielder, had a .320 batting average and a .964 fielding percentage. Janelle Wong, a catcher/DH from Dos Pueblos High, led the team in hitting (.436), doubles (16) and slugging percentage (.629).
 The Vaqueros won 10 of their first 11 at Pershing Park and upset powerful Saddleback 6-1 to win their Bash at the Beach Tournament on March 28.
 Snyder threw a no-hitter and five innings of one-hit relief in the last week of the season to earn the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table's Athlete of the Week award. She struck out 20 batters in 10 innings with no walks.
 The Vaqueros won five of their last six and had their final doubleheader against Cuesta canceled by rain.
 "I am looking forward to our 13 returners and some new blood coming in next year," said Congleton. "We've already got commitments from two catchers/third basemen, two outfielders and a second baseman/shortstop."
