One of the most decorated players in the history of college softball, Monica Abbott threw an astonishing 23 no-hitters and six perfect games during her Tennessee career and led the Lady Vols to three consecutive Women's College World Series appearances (2005-07), with a runner-up finish in 2007. Through four stellar seasons at Tennessee, she posted an incredible 189-34 record, a 0.79 ERA, 112 shutouts, 2,440 strikeouts and 125 games with 10 or more strikeouts. Abbott still stands as the NCAA all-time leader in wins, strikeouts, shutouts, and appearances. The 2007 USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year, Abbott was the first pitcher in NCAA Division I history to record 500 strikeouts in four different seasons. She also led the NCAA in victories from 2004-07. Abbott is a two-time Olympian with Team USA and a three-time World Champion. She was inducted into the Tennessee Athletics Hall of Fame in 2017 and was the first Tennessee softball player to have her jersey retired on March 23, 2013.
