5/12/2025 1:01:00 PM | Softball
SAN BRUNO, Calif. — After going 2-1 on the weekend to earn a share of the 2025 WCC Title, Saint Mary's Softball will keep the celebration going as their offensive leader for the week, Taylor Lane, was named the final WCC Player of the Week for 2025. This is Lane's first time winning this honor in her three years of competition for the Gaels, as she becomes the fourth different Gael (Sam Buckley, Mia Zabat, Tori Cervantes) to earn this award this year, and the third consecutive.
In the final weekend of the regular season, redshirt junior Taylor Lane had an offensive awakening, with five hits, including two home runs, and seven of the Gaels 20 runs driven in on the weekend. The Huntington Beach native reached base in every game against the LMU Lions. Her average climbed 23 points this weekend, and she tripled her season home run output.
Lane's two home runs this weekend helped the Gaels close out their season with 43 on the year, a new single season program record.

Taylor Lane delivers again! A two out, two RBI single extends the Gaels lead to four. Sam Buckley scored on the play, giving the single season runs scored record, to go along with her home run and RBI records!#GaelsRise pic.twitter.com/QoOqnOTeUw
