Freshman Ally Alcayaga slugs her way to the CCAA Player of the Week award

Cal State Monterey Bay’s freshman Ally Alcayaga burst into her collegiate softball career by hitting .615 on the weekend to earn the first CCAA Player of the Week award for the 2022 season. 

Alcayaga led the Otters to a 4-1 weekend at the Concordia Kickoff Classic. The Sonoma native (Sonoma Valley HS) went 8-for-13 and collected hits in all five games. She had three doubles, six RBI, four runs scored, and registered a 1.434 OPS. 

Against Montana State Billings, Alcayaga posted a weekend-best three hits while also catching all seven innings in the Otters’ 10-1 win. 

She started four of the five games behind the plate for Cal State Monterey Bay, and caught a pair of shutouts. The Otters’ only loss on the weekend was a 1-0 decision against Western Washington. 

After the first weekend of play, Alcayaga leads the CCAA in batting average (.615) 

Cal State Monterey Bay will now gear up for a doubleheader on the road this Saturday (Feb. 12) against the 2021 NCAA national runners-up, Biola.
