ROHNERT PARK, CALIF. - Sonoma State's Anna Zoia-Buescher claimed the first CCAA Softball Player of the Week honors of the 2023 season after leading the Seawolves to a pair of victories in their four-team round robin over the weekend. 

The senior outfielder recorded a .700 BA with a staggering 1.927 OPS on the weekend. She also finished the three games 7-for-10 with two doubles, a home run, four runs scored, and two stolen bases. The Santa Rosa native got to play on her home field for the first time since transferring from the junior college prior to the 2022 season and did not disappoint.  

Zoia-Buescher began the season by going 3-for-3 with a double, a home run, three runs scored, and a stolen base in a 9-6 win against Saint Martin's. Later that afternoon, the Santa Rosa native added another hit and a stolen base against Academy of Art. 

On Saturday, Zoia-Buescher posted another three-hit performance, going 3-or-4 and delivering a walk-off single to help SSU overcome a 2-1 seventh-inning deficit. She came to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded before lacing a single to left field to plate pinch-runner Charlie Johnson as the winning run. 
 
This is the second career CCAA Player of the Week honor for Zoia-Buescher in what has been a very decorated SSU career thus far. She earned her first last season for the week of April 18-24 and went on to be named to the CCAA First Team at the end of the season. 

Sonoma State will host Dominican in a doubleheader on Friday, Feb. 10, before opening up conference play at San Francisco State on Friday, Feb. 17. Be sure to follow your Seawolves on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get all the latest SSU athletics updates and information.
