The greatest pitcher of her era at Illinois College, Jody Collins was a four-year starting pitcher and two-time team MVP for IC softball. An all-conference selection prior to when IC joined the Midwest Conference, she recorded the first no-hitter in school history in 1984 against Grinnell College when the Lady Blues were newcomers to the MWC, striking out 17 hitters in that game, the third-most in conference history. She appears all over the school record book with the third-most strikeouts in a season (105 in 1983) and the fourth-best ERA in a single season (1.77 in 1981). Though records from that time are incomplete, Collins would likely rank second all-time in career strikeouts and among the top five in career victories for the Lady Blues.
