ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - After 22 scoreless innings in the circle during the week of April 13-20, Cal State East Bay sophomore pitcher Marissa Quintero was named FloSports/CCAA Softball Pitcher of the week. 

In two starts against Chico State, Quintero tossed 10 scoreless innings on Friday and 12 more on Saturday as the Pioneers won 1-0 in each of her starts in extra innings. She surrendered only six hits total and struck out nine. The Pioneers' 3-1 series record clinched a spot in the upcoming 2025 CCAA Softball Tournament.
