This month’s Featured Viking is Anastasia Marquez, this sophomore pitcher continues to be a dependable force in the circle for West Valley Softball. During her freshman campaign last season, Marquez appeared in 17 games, making 6 starts, and finished with a 6–2 record over 41 innings pitched. She recorded 36 strikeouts and posted a strong 3.41 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP, demonstrating her ability to compete and control the game in key moments. Now in her sophomore season, the Hayward native continues to build on that success with confidence, composure, and a team-first mentality. Anastasia’s work ethic, growth, and reliability make her a great example of Viking softball and what it means to represent West Valley Athletics.
