Last year, the Warriors made the program's first ever trip to the CCCAA State Championships.

Warriors head coach Jessica Rapoza is wrapping up her fifth season at the helm. She earned her second straight SCC, South Division Coach of the Year Award in 2019 after leading the Warriors to a 34-6 overall record, the best mark for the program in the regular season in her five seasons at the helm. Rapoza spent the previous five seasons at Santa Ana College, serving as co-head coach for the Dons. In her tenure at Santa Ana, the Dons went 135-78-1 and set 40 new school records. Meanwhile, in her four-plus years at El Camino College, Rapoza has led the Warriors to four straight playoff appearances including two CCCAA Super Regional berths. The Warriors have gone 169-53 with four South Coast Conference championships including three straight. She also led the Warriors to their first ever CCCAA State Championships in 2018.
POSTSEASON ACCOLADES
The Warriors enter the postseason after having seven players named to the 2019 All-SCC Team. Diamond Lewis earned Player of the Year honors while Jocelyn Hernandez was named the Pitcher of the Year.
