LOCK HAVEN, Pa. (May 2) – The California (PA) softball team featured a trio of players selected to the All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division Second-Team on Tuesday afternoon, as voted on by the league coaches.

Junior outfielder Charity Henderson (Scottdale, Pa./Southmoreland), sophomore pitcher Caleigh Rister (Bucyrus, Ohio/Bucyrus) and junior utility/pitcher Alyssa Rose (Madison, Ohio/Madison) received the laurels after helping the Vulcans tie for third in the PSAC West standings.

A three-year starter, Henderson has nearly doubled her career high with 35 RBI while hitting at a .333 clip (48-for-144).

Rister earned All-PSAC West status for the second-straight season after collecting first-team accolades at utility/pitcher in 2022. She leads the team in virtually every pitching category this year while establishing multiple career highs. Rister ranks fourth in the PSAC with a 1.82 ERA over 134.1 innings pitched while posting a 12-7 record in 25 appearances. The Ohio native has registered 95 strikeouts while logging 14 complete games, including three shutouts.
