SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - Sacramento State softball head coach Lori Perez announced on Nov. 20 that six high school seniors have signed National Letters of Intent and will join the program as freshmen next fall.

The incoming players are left-handed pitcher Jordan Bey, outfielders Choyce Chambers and Taylor Mendoza, catcher Madie Harrison, second baseman/outfielder Deja Montgomery and catcher/utility player Victoria Roman.

Bey, a Houston native, is entering her fourth varsity season at Episcopal High School in Bellaire, Texas. A three-time all-conference selection and finalist for VYPE Private School Player of the Year, Bey posted a 1.52 ERA with 113 strikeouts in 93 1/3 innings as a junior and helped lead Episcopal to three straight Southwest Preparatory Conference state titles.

Bey “will bring an immediate impact to our pitching staff,” Perez said, praising Bey’s competitiveness and pitch variety.

Chambers arrives from Valley Christian High School in Cerritos, where she has earned three all-Olympic League selections. She hit .425 as a junior with 41 runs, 31 stolen bases and 11 extra-base hits, earning first-team all-CIF and Press Telegram Dream Team honors.

Chambers is a career .396 hitter with 96 runs and 58 stolen bases. Her defense “blew us away,” Perez said, noting her ability to track down extra-base hits and impact the game with her speed.

Harrison, a catcher from Central Catholic High School in Modesto, was named Valley Oak League offensive MVP and second-team all-state as a junior after hitting .461 with eight home runs and 47 RBIs. A three-time all-league selection, Harrison owns career marks of .405 with 94 RBIs in 95 games. Harrison “has the ability to hit the ball out of the park in every at-bat,” Perez said, and praised her leadership behind the plate.

Mendoza, from Honolulu, will join the Hornets after playing at James Campbell High School. A two-time all-state selection, Mendoza hit .553 as a sophomore at Roosevelt High School and served as team captain that season. She batted .300 last year for a Campbell squad that finished third in the state. Perez called Mendoza “strong, athletic and a hard worker,” and noted she is the program’s first recruit from Hawaii.

Montgomery, a Vallejo native, has starred at American Canyon High School, earning first-team all–Vine Valley Athletic League honors each of her first three seasons. She has hit at least .435 every year and owns a career .469 average with 61 stolen bases, averaging nearly one steal per game. Perez praised her athleticism and versatility, saying that Montgomery “can get to balls most players cannot run down.”

Roman, a catcher and utility player from South Hills High School in West Covina, hit .407 as a junior and was an all-league selection as a freshman at Northview High School, where she batted .420. Perez described Roman as “the ultimate competitor” with a strong arm and the defensive versatility to play multiple positions.

All six signees will enroll at Sacramento State ahead of the 2025–26 academic year.
