Bad News for Herrera

Former Valencia High softball standout Ashley Herrera suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury in UCLA's season opening loss to Texas at a tournament in Arizona. According to spectators at the field, Herrera legged out an infield single, then collapsed to the ground in pain, clutching her left knee.

Herrera, a senior, is UCLA's most versatile player. She opened the season as UCLA's starting third baseman. During her career, she's played first base, second base and outfield. She walked on at UCLA in 2003 but has developed into an everyday starter.
