Over her time at CSUN, Torres was named to the CSC Academic All-District Team in 2023 while she has earned two Big West All-Academic Team selections in addition to Big West All-Freshman Team honors for her play on the field.
Jackson, a Rancho Cucamonga native, had a career season with the Matadors in 2024.
