Despite not being able to compete in the CAA tournament this season, which greatly reduces further postseason possibilities, the team will still finish the year with a winning record.

Several Panthers have itched their names into the Georgia State record book this season.

Senior third basemen Paige Nowacki tied the school record for career home runs with her 32nd blast on March 26. The home run was her 12th of the season.

Nowacki has battled a wrist injury the last few weeks and is hoping to get back on the diamond soon, where she will try to make the record her own.

Junior Kaitlyn Medlam pitched just the third perfect gam in school history on April 10 against Georgia Southern. It was the first time that a single pitcher achieved the feat.
