Ithaca College Athletics

Jo Burruby ’84 was a top pitcher for the softball team, compiling a record of 36-17 with two saves and a 1.12 ERA. Her ERA is still the lowest by any Ithaca pitcher with more than one season; she also set school records for wins, innings (373.2) and strikeouts (106) and still ranks in the program’s top 10 in all three categories. Burruby helped the Bombers to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) or NCAA playoffs all four years; Ithaca placed fifth nationally at the 1983 NCAA tournament. She also played two years of volleyball.
