Kodee Murray has a record of 324-116-2, four south coast conference championships and lead the team to the Southern California Regional Playoffs every year.
She was the 2007 Southern California Coach of the Year and named Conference Coach of the Year twice.
Coach Murray has over 20 years of experience with 14 of those at the community college level.
She also spent six years coaching at Woodbridge High School in Irvine and won the CIF Championship in 1988.
This year she has led the Falcons to a record of 26-7, coming off a strong win against conference rival Mt. San Antonio College on April 10.
“The measure of success is how many students you move on not championships,” Murray said.
Since 2003 coach Murray has had 22 of her players move on to play at universities, and some even returned to be assistant coaches with her.
A shortstop in 2007-08 and an assistant coach since 2010, Jenel Guadagno said of Murray, “Awesome motivator, motivates you on and off the field.”
She was a two time First Team All-South Coast Conference selection for the Falcons and she helped lead the team to the state championship two years in a row, while they won the title her sophomore year.
Former player and current assistant coach Nichole Deel said, “I am a whole different person had I not stepped on this campus.”
Deel left the program with the school’s home run record (since broken) and was a Second Team All-state, First Team All-Southern California and First Team All-South Coast Conference selection at shortstop her sophomore season.
Outfielder Maiya Tallakson said, “The way she coaches has brought out a much better person and player in me, its brought my confidence up.”
The team will play its last home game against Long Beach City College on Thursday at 3 p.m.
