2007 (Junior): Seeing more time in the field and at the plate in her junior season, Alyce had a breakout offensive season for Pacific that resulted in her first career All-Big West selection as she earned second team honors as a utility player. As a jack-of-all-trades, Jorgensen did it all for the Tigers during the season as she posted a .280 batting average knocking in 29 runs and hitting a career-high five home runs, good enough for third most on the team. In addition to her presence at the plate, Jorgensen posted an 8-6 record in the circle for Pacific with a 3.53 ERA in 24 appearances and 119.0 innings pitched.
