FISHER ON GAMBOA: "Corina ‘Baby’ Gamboa was yet another steal for Colorado State Softball. Over the past two years, however, we have come to realize that as solid of a player as she is, Corina is an even better leader and person. We have continued to watch Baby intently lead both her high school and her club ball teams through some of the most challenging softball in the country. She has, without a doubt, been in some of the toughest competitions there are, and she continues to be a consummate professional on and off the field.”
