It has been a long road back for Pirate redshirt freshman Carolyn Ruffino. She had knee surgery in the spring of her senior year of high school, and spent last season as a redshirt on the state champion women’s basketball team. This season, she played competitively for the first time in two seasons, and last weekend she may have found her niche. She had consecutive career-highs for VC over the weekend at the Gilcrest Invitational in Visalia, scoring nine points, hitting three 3-pointers in Ventura’s win over Santa Rosa Saturday and netting 14 points, hitting three more triples, leading a furious comeback against San Joaquin Delta on Sunday. The Thousand Oaks High School product has been named this week’s VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week, sponsored by Pacific Aire Heating and Cooling.
