Four Pirates headlined the first team All-WSC North list including (clockwise from top left) Anissa Padilla, Arianna Rivas, Kaylee Neal and Adriana Clemons.
Pirate Softball Prominant on All-WSC List

The Ventura College Softball team was well represented on the Western State Conference North Division all-conference list voted upon by the league coaches earlier this month. Pitcher Anissa Padilla and and outfielder Arianna Rivas, both sophomores highlighted Pirates on the first team along with freshman second baseman Kaylee Neal and first-year outfielder/catcher Adriana Clemons.

Pirate sophomore Anissa Padilla had two hits, scored two runs, and batted in another while pitching a complete-game 5-4 victory over Antelope Valley Saturday in game two of the best-of three first round playoff series.
Softball Forces Game 3 Before Bowing Out of Playoffs

The Pirate softball team defeated Antelope Valley in game two of the CCCAA SoCal Regional Playoffs, 5-4 Saturday afternoon at the VC Softball Complex, forcing a winner-take-all game three match-up with the Marauders. Unfortunately, VC could not keep the momentum going, falling to the visitors 10-0 in the series finale. AVC moves on to the SoCal Super Regionals while the Pirates (29-11) have their season come to a close.

Sophie Dahlstedt had a pair of hits with two runs scored and two RBI in the Pirates 9-1 walk-off win in five innings over visiting Oxnard in VC's regular-season home finale.
