The William Jessup University softball program announced the signing of four collegiate transfers. Cassie Emerson, Alexandra Franco, Audrea Lopez and Nayeli Mayer are four transfers expected to make an immediate impact.

"These players bring the solid performance level and skill set necessary to round out our team," explained Warriors head coach Jessica Pistole. "To have these players on board to begin our practice season next week will solidify our ability to work as a cohesive unit on the field."  

Emeron, a transfer student from NCAA Division I St. Francis University, was a freshman who started at second base and batted .350. At Lincoln High School, Emerson was a standout player, earning a Pioneer All League and Scholar Athlete selection.

Franco comes to William Jessup from Cosumnes River College. While there, she was named second team all conference, team MVP, and most inspirational player. She also played at Lincoln High School in Stockton receiving first team all league recognition. 

Lopez transferred from Ohlone College where she earned second team all conference honors and assisted the team in qualifying for the 2009 state playoffs.
