Sorcerer shortstop Chelsea Suitos (2010) has verbally committed to accept a softball scholarship to the University of Arizona. Suitos gave her verbal to Wildcats head coach Mike Candrea during an unofficial visit to the Tucson campus Sept. 9-10.

"I loved my visit," Chelsea said.  "Arizona softball is run like a big family, and I really liked that about the program. And, of course, there's the tradition - all of those national championships. I think the coaches and other players offer me the best chance to become the best that I can be."

Suitos, who is a junior at Elk Grove H.S. in Elk Grove, Calif., narrowed a host of collegiate choices down to Florida and Northwestern, in addition to Arizona. A 4.0 student in high school, Suitos plans to major in psychology, most likely clinical psychology.  "I think its a career that helps people," she said. 

A slapper with 2.7 speed, Suitos joined Sorcerer Gold - Phil for the 2008 summer season, having played for Sorcerer Gold - Pete last fall. Her range, quickness, strong arm, competitive attitude and leadership qualities were among those attributes that generated widespread collegiate interest in her.

"We are incredibly proud of Chelsea," Sorcerer coach Phil Mumma said.  "She was developed within our organization, and without previous experience at the Gold level jumped right in and helped anchor us up the middle this summer.  She was a key to our success.  Chelsea works very hard and will only get better before she becomes a Wildcat," he said.

Major props to Chelsea and "Bear Down."
