HometownLaguna Niguel, Calif.


Back in action for her senior year where she will be one of the senior anchors of the catching staff, Rice looks to bring her heavy swing and bullpen smarts into her final year with ASU. Her freshman season saw her hit a blistering.423 on the year with six runs scored and ten driven in while hitting three home runs for an outstanding .846 slugging percentage, the highest overall on the team. She looks to return this year to take on more of the catching duties while accenting ASU's already dominant offense.

Sarah originally hails from Laguna Niguel, Calif. where she was a stand-out catcher for the Aliso Niguel Wolverines. A four-time letterwinner in softball at Aliso Niguel, Sarah has claimed accolades such as All-county Offensive Player of the Year along with being named to the First-Team All-CIF in three of her four years of high school softball. A threat at the plate, Sarah broke her high school record for single-season RBIs her junior year and helped lead her club team to a 16U national championship as well, which she lists as her most exciting sports moment. Successful both on the field and in the classroom, Sarah was also named to the Principals Honor Roll all four of her years at Aliso Niguel.

The exploratory major was born to Michael (Global Accountant Manager) and Cyndi (Assistant) Rice of Laguna Niguel, Calif. on June 2, 1989 and is the youngest of three girls with two sisters; Erin (36) and Jesse (28).
