SMCC Softball Update
By Jim Richards
March 3, 2007 - First-year SMCC softball coach Kristina Schmallen wants everyone to know that nobody should give up on her softball club.

Schmallen Era Set To Begin
By Jim Richards
April 25, 2008 - Kristina Schmallen knows what it’s like to be a part of a champion ACCAC softball team and she’s of the opinion that she can guide a club to the top.
“If you look at the last six to 10 years of National Champions, at Division I or DII, a junior college softball team has won from the state of Arizona,” said Schmallen, who will replace the retiring Tony Maya as SMCC’s new softball coach at the end of the current season “The kids are here. We just have to get them.”
Schmallen was a member of the 2004 Pima Community College NJCAA Division I championship team and is currently an assistant softball coach at Kansas’ Fort Hays State University. She played softball at Tolleson Westview High School before moving on to Pima and then the University of New Mexico. More
