Coach Sandi Taylor talked about the BC tournament. “We are beating the teams we are supposed to beat so we are in a good place.”

Taylor talked about her team’s performance from the past games.

“The team has played really hard the last couple of weeks. The game at College of the Canyons was not our best but overall having played 10 games in seven days I was very proud of our team,” said Taylor.

“Last Tuesday we got our players back who were injured, and you could tell we just started playing better so that’s always good. Jessica Newton-Smith, who was out for a month, made a big impact in a huge way on her first day with a couple RBI’s and base hits. Brittney Morrison, also out for a month, came back from her recent injury.

BC played L.A. Valley College on April 6, which was an important conference matchup for the team.
