Belmontes made herself an invaluable asset for the Mustangs during her career, supplying a power bat while playing the key positions of shortstop and center field. The Cal State Northridge signee led Costa Mesa (12-12, 8-2) to a second-place finish in the Orange Coast League and a berth in the CIF Southern Section Division 6 playoffs. Belmontes sported a batting average of .567 with 30 runs scored and 29 RBIs. The first-team All-Orange Coast League pick had 12 doubles, eight home runs and two triples. In her final Battle for the Bell game against Estancia, Belmontes homered twice with nine RBIs in a 15-6 victory on April 5. Belmontes, a three-time Dream Team member, also earned her second consecutive All-CIF Southern Section selection.
