All-WSC Outfielder Emily Valdez enjoyed a big day against #3 Monterey Peninsula, while leading the Cougars to a split with the top ranked Lobos.  Valdez ignited the Cougars' offense from her leadoff spot with a pair of three-hit games and enjoyed a 6-for-8 day at the plate.  Valdez dominated the visiting Lobos at the plate with both her precision and power, while both bunting for a base-hit and slugging a home run and a double.  In the outfield, her glove was where flyballs went to die.  She collected a school-record eight putouts in the opener and added three more catches in the nightcap.  Valdez is batting .383 and leads the team with nine extra-base hits and 16 stolen bases on the season.
