She is also second on the team with 12 runs batted in and has crossed the plate herself for 10 more scores. In the pitching circle, Mata has started and completed half of the Cougars' games. She boasts a perfect 4-0 record with a 5.19 ERA.
Softball posted perfect 8-0 record in April. The Cougars will complete their 2021 schedule in May and hope to be back fulltime during the 2021-22 season.
