When 12-time NCAA softball champion UCLA signs a pitcher, people pay attention to the school of Lisa Fernandez and Rachel Garcia.
Norco pitcher Coral Williams signed with the Bruins on Wednesday on the first day of the early signing period, embracing a tradition that isn’t for everyone.
“She’s got all the pitches and right mindset to pitch there,” Norco coach Rick Robinson said. “With that coaching staff, she’s going to fit in well. I think it’s the perfect place for her.”
Williams enters her senior season at Norco with a career record of 52-5.
Softball power Norco has other commits in the process of signing: Savannah Gonzalez (Cal Baptist), Leighton Gray (Texas A&M), Sadie Burroughs (Duke) and Hollynn Gentry (Texas Tech).
