Donna Pierce Warriors of the Week
Four Stanislaus State student-athletes from across the department have been named Donna Pierce Warriors of the Week, recognizing outstanding performances in baseball, softball, men's basketball, and women's indoor track & field. This week's honorees are Eli Blurton (baseball), Alexis Camberos (softball), Antony Newman-Gomez (men's basketball), and Alexis Niño (women's indoor track & field), each of whom delivered standout efforts in competition while helping elevate their respective programs.

Eli Blurton was instrumental in Stanislaus State's weekend series victory over Vanguard, delivering two high-impact relief appearances while recording both a save and a win. Across 3.2 innings of work, Blurton did not allow a run, posting a 0.00 ERA while surrendering just two hits and striking out five batters. He held opposing hitters to a .143 batting average and consistently delivered in high-leverage moments. Blurton earned the save with a clean one-inning outing in the series opener, calmly closing out the game to secure the Warriors' win. In the series finale, he entered the game in the bottom of the fourth inning with runners on second and third and one out, immediately shutting down the scoring threat by inducing a pop-up followed by a groundout. Blurton went on to throw 2.2 shutout innings and earned the win, stabilizing the contest and preserving the Warriors' lead as they clinched the series.


Alexis Camberos delivered a strong opening week in the circle for the Warriors, anchoring the pitching staff with consistent performances across three appearances. Over 12.1 innings pitched, Camberos allowed just three earned runs, compiling a 1.70 ERA while limiting opposing offenses throughout the weekend. She opened the week with a 6.1-inning outing against Western Oregon, allowing only one earned run while keeping hitters off balance and setting the tone for the staff. Camberos followed with 4.1 innings of work against CUI before closing the weekend against Lubbock Christian, where she did not allow an earned run.



Antony Newman-Gomez turned in a productive two-game week for the Warriors, providing steady scoring, efficient shooting, and all-around contributions in conference matchups against Chico State and Cal Poly Humboldt. Against Chico State, Newman-Gomez scored nine points on 4-of-7 shooting while adding five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes of action. He followed with an even stronger performance versus Cal Poly Humboldt, finishing with 15 points on 4-of-8 shooting and going a perfect 7-for-7 from the free-throw line. Newman-Gomez also pulled down six rebounds and dished out three assists in the win, impacting the game on both ends of the floor. Over the two contests, he averaged 12.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game, providing consistency and leadership during a key stretch of CCAA play.


Alexis Niño delivered a historic weekend for Stanislaus State women's indoor track & field at the Wolf Pack Classic, turning in elite-level performances in the throwing events and rewriting the program record book. On Saturday, Niño shattered her own school record in the shot put with a massive throw of 49-8½ (15.15m), earning a first-place finish while breaking the previous mark by nearly a full meter. The performance currently ranks 10th in the nation and stands as the best shot put throw in Stan State history. Earlier in the meet, Niño also led the Warriors in the 20-lb weight throw with a mark of 55-2¾ (16.85m), showcasing her consistency and dominance across multiple events.
