Cerritos College softball players Itzel Soto and Patricia Soto have both make their decision to sign with NAIA school Jarvis Christian College in Texas. Patricia, who will be a sophomore for the Bulldogs next season, was a reserve infield for the Falcons in 2022, while Itzel was a 1st Team All-South Coast Conference selection as a freshman in 2019. She was a member of the Cerritos team in 2020, which was canceled due to Covid-19 and then transferred to Division II Fort Lewis (CO) College for the 2021 season. Itzel Soto will be a junior at Jarvis Christian.

As a reserve infielder and pinch-hitter in 2022, Patricia Soto appeared in 15 games and went 1-for-14 from the plate with four walks and was hit by three pitches. She recorded the hit in her second at-bat of the season against Southwestern College. She will be competing for a role as the Bulldogs third baseman next season.

In the shortened 2020 season, Itzel Soto went 27-for-53 (.509) from the plate with six doubles, three triples, five home runs, 14 RBI, 11 walks and scored 23 runs, all which led the team. She was also a much-improved defensive player and recorded a .958 fielding percentage with just one error in the outfield. In her freshman season, Soto batted .378 with six doubles, two triples, 26 RBI and had 45 hits. In her abbreviated season with Fort Lewis, Soto appeared in four games and went 1-for-3 at the plate with a walk before an injury ended her season.

The duo will look to help the Bulldogs improve on their 20-24 record in 2022. Both will also be majoring in Biology.
