Senior Second Baseman Julianne Rodriguez Selected to NFCA All-West Region Second Team

It was announced earlier today that senior second baseman Julianne Rodriguez (Thousand Oaks, CA) represented the University of Redlands on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-West Region Second Team.

In her second season at Redlands, Rodriguez made the most of her opportunities as a speedy and talented leadoff hitter in 39 games played. She led the Bulldogs in multiple categories, including hits with 50, runs with 29, and stolen bases with 26. She produced a batting average of .442, which ranked first among the regular starters on the team, to go along with a slugging percentage of .487 and an on-base percentage of .500.

As a strong middle infielder, Rodriguez supplied 65 putouts and 55 assists while contributing to five double-plays.

One of her best outings came in a 10-7 win over Cal Lutheran University on April 20, as Rodriguez went 3-for-3 at the plate, touched home twice, and stole two bases.

This marks the Bulldogs' first All-Region nod since 2016 and the inaugural such honor under Head Coach Jose Ortega.
