Ali Pettit is this week's State Farm CMU Scholar-Athlete of the Week.
Pettit, a senior on the softball team, hurled a perfect game in the Chippewas' 4-0 win over Columbia on Friday. She struck out seven of the 21 hitters she faced and allowed only one ball to leave the infield. It was the first no-hitter for a CMU pitcher since 2004.
Pettit pitched two more complete games during the weekend, allowing three hits and striking out six in a 1-0 win over Harvard. In a 3-1 loss to Towson, she allowed just one earned run on five hits while striking out five.
Pettit maintains a 3.90 grade-point average as a communication disorders major.
Each week, one student-athlete is selected as the State Farm CMU Scholar-Athlete of the Week.
