Athlete of the Week: Softball’s Areana Ramos

Softball is in full swing, fighting its way through multiple back-to-back doubleheader games during the Eagles’ 2019 PacWest slate. The Eagles are currently 16-10 overall and 11-5 in the conference. Senior outfielder Areana Ramos has been on her A-game, generating important offense with some solid hitting.

Ramos led her team to two straight wins against Hawaii Hilo University last week, where she contributed two runs and three RBIs combined. But her hot streak at the plate did not stop there, as Ramos took her game one step further. The senior brought home a total of six runs in the Eagles’ recent four-game series against Chaminade University this past Monday and Tuesday.

Ramos has been a star throughout her four years at Biola, continuing to show her strength and consistency in her final season.

Ramos’ fantastic performance on the plate has helped in bringing her team a six-game win streak, and for that, she is the latest Chimes Athlete of the Week.

About the Contributor

Andi Basista, News Editor

Andi Basista is a senior journalism major who loves basketball, underground music and is highly appreciative of a good beach day. [email protected] Originally from a small farm town in Ohio, I have put aside my corn shucking gloves to embrace a new life in the Angel City to study sports journalism. It is true what they say about culture shock and LA traffic. I am used to being late to work because of getting stuck behind a John Deere tractor, but now it is because of gridlock on the I5. However, I have quickly adjusted to the city life and haven’t looked back since. I moved from the midwest out to Los Angeles over two years ago. Since then my life has changed in big ways. I have learned the importance of pursuing my dreams in order to make them a reality. Sports have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the time I was able to stand up on my own, there was always a ball in my hand. Basketball quickly became my MO. I was involved in multiple athletic organizations, traveling on AAU teams and playing my way through my middle and high school league. My passion for the sport is what inspired me to pursue a career in sports journalism. Being at a place like Biola that has an abundance of opportunities has allowed me to expand from my small-town roots, and that is something I am truly thankful for.
