“There are a few women players who could have been the first-ever inductee into the Mission College Hall of Fame from Softball, but Stephanie’s qualifications were the best of the best,” said Mission College’s Softball Coach Gary Cunningham, who started the program. “Besides Stephanie’s outstanding softball skills and statistics, it was her calm yet unbelievably competitive spirit that contributed to her strong leadership abilities. Though it takes ‘an entire talented team’ to acquire all these magnificent accomplishments, Stephanie has definitely earned the right to be the first softball player inducted into the Hall of Fame.”
