This first year from Mission Viejo, CA, led the Gryphons' softball team to a decisive victory against The College of New Rochelle at home on Friday, May 4. Martinez threw two strikeouts in this standout performance against the Blue Angels, which ended 18-6 for the Gryphons sole win of the spring.
Martinez has taken on numerous roles for the Gryphons in her first season with the softball team, starting in left field before moving into the third base position as needed, and finally answering the call to take the mound in the latter half of the season. Martinez performed with poise and enthusiasm on the field in any position.
Martinez is a two-sport varsity athlete for Sarah Lawrence, having also competed with the swim team in the 2011-2012 season.
