Bearcat: Preslie Lyles #16

Sport: Women’s Varsity Softball
Year: Sophmore

Comment: “Preslie has quickly become the ace of our young pitching staff. As the lone sophomore pitcher, with two freshman pitchers on our varsity roster, she has stepped into a leadership role and has been commanding in the circle! Starting four of our five games and making appearances in all five, she has collected 2 wins and 42 strikeouts in only 24 2/3 innings. Her desire to continuously improve and find time to get extra reps with pitching coach and Bearcat alum pitcher (class of 2005), Elise Foster, is proving to be a perfect fit. -Coach Andrew MacDonald, Paso Robles Bearcats Head Coach & DOS Bearcat Softball
