CARSON, Calif.-It has been announced that six Cal State Dominguez Hills softball players have been named to the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) all-conference teams as voted on by CCAA coaches. Senior outfielder Renee Snyder (Mater Dei HS) was named to the All-CCAA First Team.

Two Toros, Kim O'Hanian (St. Paul HS) and Dani Proctor (Crescenta Valley HS/College of the Canyons), were named to the All-CCAA Second Team.

O'Hanian, a rookie hurler out of Norwalk, CA, posted a 16-8 record in the circle. She recorded a 1.69 ERA in 161.1 innings of action.
