As a junior, Cellura was the star of the circle for the Aztecs. With a 19-9 record, three saves, and a 2.28 ERA over 153.2 innings, she was a four-time Mountain West Pitcher of the Week between 2024 and 2025.

The junior shortstop, Edwards, started more than 100 games for the Bulldogs and was named No. 11 on Softball America’s shortstop list in April. She owns a .280 career batting average with 14 home runs, 17 doubles, 60 RBIs, and 59 runs scored. Edwards, alongside Avery Hodge, will make for a very strong middle infield.

Kylee had herself a weekend!

5-for-13, 2B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 1.452 OPS
