Pitching for seven innings, allowing zero walks, zero hits and shutting down batters with eight strikeouts, softball player Erin Caviness achieved what no pitcher at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï had done in the NCAA Division I era. She pitched a perfect game. Caviness, a graduate student, was a force against the University of California, Santa Barbara. The team won the February 23 game 1-0. 

The Bears went on to once again sweep the Big Sky Conference Championship, both the regular season and tournament, crowning them as back-to-back champions. Perfect!
