Mendoza burst onto the National scene initially with an ASA 18-and-under Gold National Championship in 1998, a sign of things to come. Ultimately, she became an International Softball Federation World Champion, a gold medalist at the Pan American Games, and in 2004, she achieved the highest honor as an Olympic Gold Medalist.
