LOS ANGELES - Head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez has announced the addition of Jenavee Peres to the UCLA softball roster. Peres, who played three seasons at San Diego State (2015-2017), will be a graduate transfer and have one season of eligibility remaining with the Bruins.
In three seasons with the Aztecs, Peres moved into the top spot in the SDSU record books in batting average (.409), on base percentage (.466) and slugging percentage (.743). She is also third in runs batted in (131), fourth in home runs (34), sixth in runs scored (112) and eighth in total bases (298). As a junior in 2017, when she became the first Aztec to earn NFCA Second Team All-American honors, Peres ranked fourth in the nation in average (.454), 11th in slugging (.840), tied for 19th in RBI (60) and tied for 22nd in homers (16).
The 2017 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and NFCA First Team All-West Region selection started all 48 games she played in, closing the campaign on a career-best, 18-game hitting streak. Peres was also named NFCA Second Team All-West Region and MW Freshman of the Year in 2015. In 2016, she was invited to the USA Softball Women's National Team Selection Camp, and was also a member of the USA Junior Women's National Team in '15.
"We are excited to have Jenavee accepted into our graduate program for Principles of Effective Coaching and Teaching," Inouye-Perez said. "She adds power to our lineup and great experience behind the plate, and she looks forward to pursuing her masters and competing with her teammates on the field."
