Mallari, Beddow, Krisell Make All-PCAC

The Pacific Coast Athletic Conference announced its all-conference team and three Knights were selected, including Ari Mallari (second team), Shyann Beddow (honorable mention) and Cadence Krisell (honorable mention).

Mallari provided great defense as the Knights' center fielder all season and was also very productive on offense as she led the team in hits (39), RBI (25), triples (5), runs scored (32), stolen bases (10) and tied for best batting average (.361). Mallari was also second on the Knights in doubles (4) and home runs (3).

Beddow played shortstop and catcher for City and was also a valuable on offense. She tied Mallari with a .361 batting average and led the Knights with four home runs and nine doubles. Beddow was second on the team with 35 hits, 23 RBI, 27 runs scored, and nine stolen bases. She only struck out five times in 97 plate appearances, which was the least on the team.

Krisell made 17 appearances in the circle with nine starts and had the lowest ERA (4.03) on the team. Her 54 strikeouts were by far the most on the Knights and also fifth most in the conference. On offense, Krisell had 16 hits, eight RBI, 10 walks, three triples, 14 runs scored, and five stolen bases. 

All three played major roles on an all-freshman team that won the most games (12) since the 2019 season. The Knights took a big step forward this season and will look to make a major leap in 2025.
