Four
49ers gain Big West honors
The Long Beach State softball squad may have missed the NCAA
Championships this season, but the team's strong season didn't
go unrecognized by the Big West Conference.
Four LBSU players were named All-Big West Conference Tuesday:
Seniors Christina Zepeda and Natalie Walker, and freshman
Meredith Cervenka were named to the second team, and sophomore
Arleigh Thorp was named honorable mention.
Cervenka compiled a 20-8 record and 1.48 ERA on the mound
for the 49ers. Cervenka also struck out 151 batters, the second-highest
total in LBSU history.
Thorp led the 49ers with a .303 batting average, 25 RBIs and
a .432 slugging percentage. Thorp split time between left
field and catcher, and committed only three errors for a .984
fielding percentage.
Walker, the 49ers's starting centerfielder, was second with
a .292 batting average and scored a team-high 30 runs. Walker
also hit .362 with runners in scoring position and drove in
19 runs.
Zepeda, who started at third base and was LBSU's leadoff batter,
scored 28 runs and hit .263 this season. Zepeda had a team-high
164 assists at third base this year and finished her career
with the most runs in LBSU history at 112.
