Rodriguez finished her freshman campaign averaging 6.4 points per game for a total of 186 points scored in an average of just over 20 minutes played per game.

In that contest, Rodriguez carried the Tigers the entire second half of the game as she finished with a career-high 21 points and eight rebounds on the afternoon. On five other occasions Kendall scored in the double-digits. Her second-best performance came against Santa Clara on Dec. 13 when she dropped 15 points and seven rebounds in the loss. In addition to her shooting, Kendall averaged 4.1 boards per game which put her at fourth overall on the Tiger roster.

Rodriguez's high school career was capped off in winning fashion, as she and her school finished as the Century League champions, where they went on to become the CIF champions and closed out 2009 as Division II California State champs. Brea Olinda HS defeated Carondelet in the championship game, 68-45, to earn the school its ninth state title and finish the season with 29-straight victories.
