   Softball captains Destiny Lopez, senior, Melissa Lopez, senior, Sophia Guerrero, junior, and Alexis Rovles, senior, are committed to making their teamspace feel welcoming, close, and familial. The captains preach always to enjoy softball–regardless of whether the team wins or loses–and to be communicative. 

   “We all really respect and love each other,” said Destiny Lopez, who has been a part of the Softball team since her sophomore year. 

   Melissa Lopez agrees with Destiny’s feelings regarding the friendly atmosphere of the team.

   “I would say we are one family; even if we don’t know each other well, we have created a welcoming space where we can talk openly with each other,” added Melissa Lopez, who has been playing Varsity softball since her junior year. 

   Guerrero shares Melissa’s feelings of familial love for the team. 

   “We always try to have fun; it’s really important to us that we don’t stress too much so that we can actually enjoy the game,” explained Gurero, who has played on the softball since her freshman year. 

   Rovles, who joined the softball team during her junior year, believes it is important for the team to prioritize having fun. 

   “To keep team morale and motivation, we still mess around from time to time. One time, we all dressed up as our coach and sprayed him with the water hose.” stated Rovles. “It was so much fun, and created something we could all bond over,” Guerrero commented, laughing.
