Season Outlook 

San Jacinto College softball is coming off yet 

another 40-win season, which saw individual 

and team records fall, and the success of 

the program continue to rise. Despite losing 

some key players on both sides of the ball 

and returning just six players from last sason, 

Head Coach Kelly Saenz is looking forward to 

the 2010 season. 

PITCHING 

With the loss of Kelsey McClain, one of the 

best pitchers in San Jac history, SJC will look 

to returner Jessica Davis and newcomers 

Katie Vogt, Laura Martinez and Marissa 

Salinas. Davis pitched in 37 games last year, 

finishing with a 4.19 ERA and a 10-11 overall 

record. Martinez was highly recruited out of 

Brazosport High School, where she led the 

Lady Ships to the 2009 regional quarterfinals. 

“It will be hard to replace Kelsey because she 

was just a great player on and off the field,” 

noted Saenz, who begins her seventh season 

at San Jac. “However, our three new pitchers 

are expected to step in and be good.” 

INFIELD 

Despite losing its top pitcher, San Jac returns 

the entire left side of the infield, and adds 

four newcomers to the mix. “They all have 

great skills offensively and defensively,” noted 

Saenz. Included in the infield are sophomores 

Rae Cassel and Courtnee Oliphant, who bring 

leadership and big bats to the lineup. Cassel 

was one of the top hitters last season, batting 

.407 en route to earning NFCA All-America 

third team honors. Oliphant was solid in the 

infield last season while hitting .429. 

OUTFIELD 

San Jac returns two outfielders from last season 

in Destany Blanchard and Megan Knippa, and 

adds four newcomers. “They all have strong 

arms and good range in the outfield,” said 

Saenz. Joining them are Caitlin Wells, Landyn 

Myers, Evan Babin and Nicole Andrade. 

CATCHER 

Each of San Jac’s three catchers will be 

sharing time behind the plate. Jean Fusilier is 

the lone sophomore, bringing not only defense 

to the field, but some offense as well. Last 

season, in 59 games, Fusilier hit .329 behind 

54 hits including nine doubles and 32 RBIs. 

Expect to also see newcomers Megan Matejka 

and Kacy Hobbs. 

All in all, Saenz has put together another 

solid team, all of whom are focused and ready 

to step in when and where they’re needed.

Head Coach 

Eastern Kentucky University (1998) 

Overall record: 211-126 

(six seasons) 

Dionna 

Lopez 

Assistant Coach 

Sixth Season 

University of 

Incarnate Word (2000) 

Entering her seventh season at San Jacinto College, Head Coach Kelly 

Saenz has built a respected softball program that has taken San Jac to 

new levels. Since her arrival at the SJC South campus more than six 

years ago, Saenz’s teams have won over 62 percent of their games, and 

did what many thought they couldn’t do in 2008 – earn a berth in the 

National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national tournament. 

Last season, Saenz guided San Jac to a 42-19 overall record, 23-9 

in conference play, and a second place finish in the Region XIV South 

Zone. Four of Saenz’s players earned NJCAA and National Fastpitch 

Coaches Association (NFCA) honors, including Kelsey McClain and 

Courtney Pettit, who were NFCA second-team All-Americans. McClain 

and Pettit also combined for eight school records, leading San Jac to 

another 40-win season. 

Saenz’s team posted the most successful season in school history 

in 2008 when they won the conference tournament, advanced to the 

national tournament for the first time in school history, and finished 

fourth in the nation. Three players were named to the all-region team 

and NJCAA national tournament All-tournament team, four to the NFCA 

All-Midwest region team, and two to the NFCA All-American team. 

Saenz led the squad to a 41-17 overall record, the most single-season 

wins at San Jac for Saenz, and her coaching staff earned the NFCA 

Regional Coaching Staff of the Year award for the Midwest Region. 

Saenz’s teams and players have had much of the same success since 

her arrival at the College in 2004. In 2006 and 2007, Saenz guided San 

Jac to sixth-place finishes at the regional tournament. In 2007, three 

players were named to the all-region team, as well as to the NFCA all- 

Midwest region team, while each season saw three student-athletes 

continue their academic and softball careers at NCAA institutions. 

In 2004 and 2005, Saenz’s first two seasons at the helm of the San 

Jac program, her teams finished second and fourth, respectively, at 

the conference tournament. The 2005 team posted a 35-23 overall 

record with four players named to the Region XIV all-conference team 

and three NFCA all-Americans. In 2004, Saenz’s first season, her team 

posted a 38-23 overall mark. 

Saenz began her collegiate coaching career at Frank Phillips College in 

Borger, Texas, where she spent the 2003 season with the Lady Plainsmen. 

Saenz holds a bachelor’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University, 

where she was the 1998 Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year. 

She went on to earn her master’s degree from the University of South 

Dakota. Saenz and her husband, Mike, reside in Houston. 

Dionna Lopez, a record-setting pitcher at San Jacinto College, is back for 

her sixth season as an assistant coach. 

Lopez played during the 1997 and 1998 season for San Jac and ranks 

among the all-time leaders in single-season wins (16), earned run 

average (1.24 in 1997) and shutouts in a single season (9 in 1998). 

After leaving San Jacinto College, Lopez played two seasons at the 

University of the Incarnate Word, where she ranks among the Cardinals’ 

best in career wins (27). Lopez now teaches in the Pasadena Independent 

School District. Her main responsibility lies with the San Jac pitchers. 

Kevin 

Mentzel 


Kevin Mentzel is in his fourth year as an assistant coach with San Jac, 

where his primary duties lie with the hitters. Mentzel is no stranger to the 

coaching ranks, with over 20 years experience. He coached baseball for five 

years, and also coached with the Texas Ultimates and the Humble Cobras. 

Mentzel and his wife, Ginger, live in Alvin with their two daughters Torie 

and Shauna. 

James 

Perry 


James Perry is in his fourth year as an assistant coach at San Jac. Prior 

to arriving at the South campus, Perry coached travel ball for 17 years 

with the Texas Ultimates and Humble Cobras. He works primarily with the 

hitters and the mental aspect of the game. 

Perry and his wife, Gaye, have been married for 29 years and reside in 

Alvin. The couple has two daughters, Lanae (27) is married and resides 

in Santa Fe, Texas; and Torie (24), who resides in Alvin. Both daughters

San Jacinto College South Campus 

Surrounded by the monuments of history, the 

industries and maritime enterprises of today, 

and the space age of tomorrow, San Jacinto 

College is now in its 48th year of serving the 

citizens of East Harris County, Texas. The 

service area includes the Channelview, Deer 

Park, Galena Park, La Porte, Pasadena and 

Sheldon Independent School Districts, as 

well as portions of the Humble, Pearland, and 

Clear Creek school districts. 

The college roots date back to May of 

1960 when voters in the district approved 

the creation of East Harris County Union 

Junior College and a seven-member Board 

of Regents was established. The name was 

changed a few times over its history to its 

current San Jacinto Community College 

District, although it has always been 

informally referred to as San Jacinto College. 

In September of 1961, 876 students attended 

the College at its location in Pasadena. 

Since then, the College has grown to include 

three campuses, seven extension centers, 

a continuing and professional development 

division, distance learning, a dual credit 

program with local high schools, an early 

college high school in cooperation with Clear 

Creek ISD, and an enrollment of over 25,000 

credit students each semester. 

San Jacinto College is committed to the 

citizens of East Harris County. At the core of 

our values is student success… the reason 

for our being. Our comprehensive community 

college mission is to empower students who 

come with a wide variety of goals to find the 

assistance they need at their college, 

San Jacinto College. Our commitment to the 

community is to assist in developing a skilled and trained workforce 

through the Continuing & Professional Development (CPD) division, 

which offers programs and courses for individuals to retain or advance 

in their jobs, or make career transitions. 

We have made a strong commitment to academic excellence. Our 

students choose from more than 140 programs in a variety of fields 

including academic transfer 

programs to four-year 

institutions and a wide 

variety of technical and 

workforce training programs. 

Our award-winning faculty 

members are passionate 

about teaching.
