EDINBORO, Pa. (Oct. 25) – California (PA) junior Rosalyn Perozzi registered the program's top-individual finish at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships since 2018, as the Vulcans placed No. 12 in the team standings at the event hosted by Edinboro on Saturday morning.

Cal totaled 325 points at the league championships, which were hosted by the Fighting Scots for the first time in seven years. East Stroudsburg and Edinboro both finished with 77 points in the team standings, as the Warriors captured their first-ever women's cross country title by virtue of a tiebreaker. Bloomsburg placed third in the standings with 103 points, while two-time defending-league champion Slippery Rock finished sixth on Saturday with 135 points.

Perozzi placed third overall at the championship event with a time of 22 minutes, 23.7 seconds. She recorded the program's best individual finish since Alicia Belko captured the league title in 2018, when the race was also hosted by Edinboro. Perozzi averaged 3:44 per kilometer (6:00.2 per mile) over the six-kilometer course in a field of 157 runners. The Belle Vernon product competed at the PSAC Championships for the third time in her career, having never previously finished among the top 60 overall.
