SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara softball had six players honored on the All-WCC Teams as announced Thursday. Junior Casandra Padilla was named First-Team while freshman Ellie Fisher was named Second Team. Seniors Breezy Bernard and Jordan Newell, junior Ciara Gonzales, and sophomore Geenamarie Bonilla were Honorable Mention.

"I'm really happy to see so many of our players recognized," said Santa Clara head coach Lisa Mize. "It's a huge accomplishment for Cassie being First Team and for Ellie to be Second Team as a freshman. It's a testament to their hard work and it shows that as a program we're getting better each year."

"This goes to show that the more hard work you put in, the better the results on the other side," said Padilla. "I found that hitting everyday made me more comfortable in the box. Taking extra groundballs gave me the confidence I needed during the games."

Padilla hit .303 and posted a .415 OBP thanks to 12 walks and 12 HBP, the third most in a single season in Bronco history. Padilla is already No. 10 in Santa Clara history with 15 HBP. She hit 11 doubles and three home runs to go with 20 runs scored and 12 RBI.

Fisher was one of two Broncos to start all 50 games on the season and led the team in batting average with a .342 mark and on-base percentage at .462. She also led the team with 31 walks, 27 runs scored, and 22 steals, good for second in the WCC, in 27 tries. She added a double, a triple, and nine RBI as well. Fisher's season peppered the Bronco single-season record book. She finished No. 1 in walks, No. 2 in stolen bases, No. 3 in OBP, and No. 10 in batting average. 

Bernard batted .296 with a team-high 13 doubles, which placed her tied for fourth on the Santa Clara single-season list. Bernard led the Broncos with 24 RBI while adding a home run and seven runs scored. She finished tied for No. 9 on the all-time list with a .970 fielding percentage.

Newell was the other Bronco to start all 50 games and she hit five home runs and seven doubles. Newell finished tied for sixth all-time at Santa Clara with 11 career home runs. She added 16 runs scored and 21 RBI while posting a program-best .995 fielding percentage at first base.
