The Citrus College softball team has struggled to find consistency through the first two months of the season.
Through 28 games in the season, the Owls are 15-13 overall, with a 5-5 conference record.
At times the Owls have been dominant, including an eight-game winning streak in February where they outscored their opponents 57-12 in the stretch.
Since the winning streak, however, the Owls have been unable to win more than two games in a row.
The Owls have an 11-4 record at home, but are only 4-9 away from Citrus.
Citrus head coach Terry Paredez, in his first season in charge after serving as assistant coach the previous 12 years for former coach Jackie Boxley, has been a part of teams that have
made deep runs and teams the have missed out on the postseason.
The Owls missed the playoffs last season after winning two consecutive conference titles the previous two years.
The majority of this year’s team are first-year players.
Owls freshman utility player Giavanna Muenz has a batting average of .400 through 27 games and has been walked a team-high 11 times.
First-year sophomore Leticia Morales leads the Owls with team-highs of 28 hits and 21 RBIs.
Citrus has had success with freshman pitcher Emily Paredez in the circle.
Paredez is 8-4 in 13 starts, with six complete games and a team-best 3.43 ERA.
