Cal Softball Loses Another Big Bat, Catcher to the Transfer Portal
California Softball recently lost power hitter Tianna Bell in the portal to Arkansas and now catcher Lagi Quiroga. Quiroga was an integral piece of the Cal Golden Bears success over the past two seasons as Cal made NCAA regionals.
Cal C Lagi Quiroga has entered the transfer portal.

Quiroga posted a .975 fielding percentage behind the plate for the Golden Bears with 49 assists and only 14 errors.
Needless to say, any team that adds Quiroga's experience behind the plate and clutch lead off bat in the line up will enhance their lineup.
