All American Sports Academy-JH 18Gold: Welcome

 

Congratulations are in order for Bianca Devoto, who has made a verbal commitment to UC San Diego, in La Jolla California.Bianca, made the journey from Northern California to Southern California and the beautiful community of La Jolla, which is located in the northern city limits of San Diego. The hilly seaside resort community, occupies 7 miles of curving coastline along the Pacific Ocean in Southern California.

Here is what Bianca had to say about her choice to commit to UCSD.

I chose UC San Diego because it is a perfect fit for me athletically as well as academically. I wanted to find a university that held high standards both in the classroom and on the softball field. San Diego's national ranking and 2011 Division II Championship fulfilled these requirements. The team also boasts the successful graduation of their players in four years. When I combined all of these attributes, my decision was simple. After going to their winter camp, I fell in love with the campus and with the program. I was able to get a better understanding of the recruitment process and realized how family-oriented the team is. I have developed a great relationship with the coaches and really feel at home with the program. I'm really excited for my future at UCSD and to become a part of the Triton family!

UC San Diego, competes in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), and last year were the NCAA Division 2 National Champions, The teams that compete in the CCAA, are Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Dominguez Hills, Cal State East Bay, Cal State L.A., Cal State Monterey Bay, Cal State San Bernardino, Cal State Stanislaus, Chico State, Humboldt State, San Francisco State, Sonoma State and UC San Diego.
