"We have the power, speed, athleticism, and pitching to make this a promising campaign. Our season ticket holders will be part of something special this year as we look forward to providing some of the best collegiate softball in the country."
In her second season at the helm in 2014, Ford led the Titans to a 6-0 start, chalking up the best start for the program since the 2000 campaign. Tallying an overall record of 33-21-1, Fullerton reached the 33-win mark for the first time since 2007. The Titans finished third in the Big West standings with a 13-11 record, while boasting a league second-best RPI of 53 behind Long Beach State.

Cal State Fullerton's Missy Taukeiaho and Ariel Tsuchiyama were named to the All-Big West Conference First Team, highlighting a group of six Titans named to the 2014 all-league honor roll. Taukeiaho became the 11th Titan to be crowned Player of the Year in the conference, earning the top honor for the first time since Ashley Van Boxmeer was given the nod in 2006. The Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., native was also named to the NFCA Division I All-America Third Team, becoming the 29th Titan to be recognized as an NFCA All-American and the first since Kiki Munoz garnered second team honors in 2008.
