ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Courtney Fossatti

Foothill, Softball

Fossatti, who missed the ’99 postseason with an injury, pitched the third-seeded Knights into the Southern Section Division I semifinals, improving to 22-1 this season by out-dueling Fountain Valley’s

Natalie King to post a one-hit, 1-0 victory over the Barons in Thursday’s quarterfinals. Fossatti also struck out 10 and pitched a three-hitter in a 10-0 win over Palos Verdes Peninsula in the second round.

* Carrie Wisen

Sonora, Softball

Pitched five shutout innings and had a double, single and two RBIs in 5-0 win over Perris in Division III quarterfinals.

* Rachael Ziemann

Cleared 5 feet 10 inches, the top state qualifying mark at the Masters meet, to equal the year’s top mark in the state.

Kevin Hansen

Corona del Mar, Volleyball

The 6-foot-4 Stanford-bound setter closed out his career in grand fashion, teaming with USC-bound outside hitter Greg Stampley for a tough one-two punch that led the Sea Kings to two wins and the Southern Section Division I championship last week. Hansen played with an injured finger and ankle in the final, but still had 61 assists to quarterback the Sea Kings to a five-game victory over rival Newport Harbor.

* Nico Bollini
