Signing Recap: Brooke Marquez… Why November 14 Will Always be a Doubly Special Day

Brooke (white hat) signing on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 and pictured along with (l-r) her sister Bella and brothers Jaxon and Jakob Marquez.

Brooke Marquez has been played for three of the top organizations in the club world–the Corona Angels, the Firecrackers and currently the Beverly Bandits, which she joined this fall and made an immediate impact, helping each team to major successes.

With the Angels, Brook was part of a PGF 14U National Championship, with the Firecrackers-Rico team she won titles at Colorado Sparkler and Canada Cup and this fall made an immediate impact with the Bandits and helped her new team win the PGF Shootout.

A 2nd Team Extra Inning Softball All-American this year and a Top 15 ranked player in the 2019 Extra Elite 100, Brooke is simply a winner and a spark on any team she plays. She hit .506 with one only strikeout in 92 plate appearances and only one error in 24 games playing the infield.

Said one top club coach: “Brooke will be a core player and get things done at Notre Dame.”

Irish Head Coach Deanna Gumpf about the So Cal senior: “Brooke will be a tremendous asset to Notre Dame softball. She is equipped with a fundamental skill set that is second to none. Brooke commands the field with confidence and tenacity, and with that confidence she has proven her ability to lead. She plays with positive energy that makes those around her better, and that positive energy will be indispensable for our team.”
