Keola Calderon (2000-03) was part of the initial class of freshmen slated to start the softball program in its inaugural season and was a member of the first four-year graduating class. Calderon was a four-time All-Conference USA selection and was named to the 2000 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-South Region second team – becoming the first Louisville player to earn the honor.
The Orcutt, Calif., native did not miss a game during her collegiate career and started all but one. The consummate utility player saw time in the outfield, first base, third base and at designated player, while helping Louisville establish itself as one of the top contenders in Conference USA. She was the only Cardinal named to the C-USA All-Decade team in 2004. She is ranked in the top five in career games played, games started and doubles and holds a spot among the top 10 leaders in all-time hits, triples, RBIs and walks.
