In her great career, she has pitched five no-hitters and three perfect games. She holds the school record for most hits and, as a pitcher, most strikeouts.

Her many honors earned last season included being named CHL Player of the Year, the Enquirer's Cincinnati Div. II Player of the Year, and first-team all-Southwest Ohio District Div.
