As the 2024-25 Oxnard College softball season unfolds, the Condors have showcased significant improvement, positioning themselves as a competitor in the Western State Conference (WSC). With an overall record of 8-10 and a conference record of 1-0, the team has already surpassed expectations compared to last season, demonstrating strong performances both at home (6-6) and on the road (2-4).
The Condors have been more competitive, with a .300 team batting average and an impressive on-base percentage of .381. Their ability to manufacture runs (83 total) has been a key factor in their success, coupled with disciplined at-bats and improved situational hitting.
OC began the season with a statement win over Imperial Valley (15-8) and followed up with a dominant shutout against San Diego City (11-0). Other standout victories include a strong doubleheader sweep against Cerro Coso (6-4, 11-3) and a thrilling extra-inning win against Chaffey (2-1). Despite some close losses, the team has consistently demonstrated grit and determination, keeping games competitive and within reach.
With WSC play beginning with a forfeit win against LA Pierce, the Condors will host Cuesta College, tomorrow at 2:30. The Condors have their sights set on making a deep run and challenging for the conference title. Their recent form and growing confidence suggest they have the tools to compete at a high level. The team will need to continue its steady offensive production and tighten up defensively.
The ultimate goal for Oxnard is to not only perform well in conference play but to secure a spot in the postseason. Given their marked improvement from last year, the Condors are optimistic about their chances of making a playoff push and proving themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
