Two Arizona softball signees named to PGF All-American roster
The current transfer exodus from Arizona softball has many fans acting like there's no tomorrow. Kezia Lucas and Sinalei Talataina would beg to differ. The pair of incoming freshmen were among the 40 athletes named to the PGF All-American Game rosters on Tuesday. The game will be played on July 26, 2025 with rosters of 20 from the West and 20 from the East. Both of Arizona's freshmen will be on the West team. Advertisement The pair is part of a class that Arizona head coach Caitlin Lowe described as heavy on infield 'righty power' when they signed last November. They both fit the description. Talataina is a corner infielder from the San Diego area. The various ranking services believe that she is the top player in Arizona's class of four players. Both Prep Softball and Perfect Game limit their rankings to the top 50. Softball America has changed its system from one year to the next. For the 2025 class, it ranked 15 pitchers and 50 position players; that was changed to 100 players regardless of position in 2026. Prep Softball has her at No. 23 in the country. Softball America ranks her as the country's No. 28 overall player, the 10th-best infielder, and the No. 4 prospect out of California. That outlet rates her as a four-star recruit with a score of 96, putting her in the high four-star range. Perfect Game places her at No. 35 in its national rankings. Lucas is a middle infielder from Hawai'i. She is not ranked in the limited databases of the three services. Unlike many of the previous players who have come from Hawai'i to play college softball on the mainland, she has played her travel ball for a team on the islands. Current Wildcat and fellow Hawaiian Jenna Sniffen played travel ball for teams in Southern California.

North Bay Haven's Goodpaster named All-American
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – North Bay Haven junior Kaylee Goodpaster capped off one of the most impressive single-season performances ever by a Bay County athlete this spring, and now she's being recognized on the national stage. Goodpaster, a Florida State softball commit, has been named a Second Team All-American by Prep Softball. The honor places her among the top 18 high school softball players in the nation and among the top six outfielders. She finished her junior season with a .600 batting average, 51 hits, a state-high 61 RBIs and 12 home runs, a mark that ranks in the top 10 across Florida. Goodpaster's dominance was on full display in the state finals, where she hit two home runs off a future Division I pitcher. She said she hopes to deliver North Bay Haven and Bay County its first softball state title before she heads to Tallahassee. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
