POCATELLO, Idaho – Rebekah Cervantes has been named as the new assistant coach for Idaho State softball. Cervantes played at Boise State and worked for the Broncos this past year as a volunteer assistant coach.
"Adding Becky is an amazing first addition to the coaching staff," said Head Coach Andrew Rich. "She has a fantastic understanding of the game and has an unbelievable ability to communicate her knowledge to student-athletes. After seeing her work, the past couple seasons following her playing career, I can't wait to see how she continues to grow as a coach and person."
Cervantes played her entire career at Boise State and in that time racked up a number of playing awards.
In 2016 she was named the Mountain West Conference Player of the Year and followed that up with a National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Pacific Third-Team award.
Cervantes was named to the All-Mountain West First Team all four years of her time at Boise State and in 2018 was named the Mountain West Player of the Year along with receiving NFCA All-Pacific Region Second Team Honors.
During her senior season in 2019, Cervantes led the Broncos with 28 extra-base hits on the season and the 6th highest single-season slugging percentage in Boise State History. In the NCAA Tournament against Stanford, Cervantes went four-of-Seven from the plate to lead the Broncos over Stanford for their first NCAA Championship victory in the teams history.
The Bengals return to action this upcoming spring when they begin their 2022 campaign.
