California Collegiate Athletics Association

The long history of the CCAA features some of the greatest NCAA Division II softball players ever to pick up a mitt, and that list was expanded when Cindy Perry joined the Cal State Dominguez Hills softball team in 2003. Over the next four years, Perry would dominate for the Toros with her bat and speed at a conference level and on the national stage.
 
Perry was a three-time all-region selection and a two-time NFCA/Daktronics All-American. She would leave Carson with 17 school records, including career batting average (.377), hits (273), runs (182), and stolen bases (142). Perry was voted the CCAA Player of the Year in 2005 after setting the Toros' single-season record with a .407 batting average and 46 stolen bases.
 
Those marks were not only the best in CSUDH history, but also among the best in CCAA history. Her 46 stolen bases were second in CCAA's single-season record books, and she would end her career as the CCAA's all-time stolen base leader (142). Perry put together a 25-game hitting streak in 2006, which matched the longest in conference history and stood for 10 seasons. Even in 2025, Perry still stands fifth in the CCAA record books in career runs (fifth, 172) and hits (sixth, 273).
 
CSUDH had some of its most successful seasons when Perry was wearing the Cardinal & Gold. In 2005, Perry would help lead CSUDH to the program's first CCAA Championships in 22 years as the Toros went 23-5 in conference play and 43-15 overall. The Toros made the program's first NCAA regional in 2004, before hosting the NCAA regional in 2005, and coming within a series of reaching the NCAA Softball Championships in 2006. Cal State Dominguez Hills won .721 percent of its games during Perry's tenure, going 162-62-2.
 
Perry completed graduate school, earning a Master's Degree and a Teaching Credential.
