On the heels of her perfect game on Sunday against the Pacific Boxers, Linfield softball pitcher Tyler McNeley has been named the Northwest Conference Pitcher Student-Athlete of the Week .
 
On Saturday, the sophomore from Lakeview, Oregon, allowed just five hits over 12 innings pitched while walking just one batter. On Sunday, McNeley tossed 10 strikeouts, just one short from tying her career-high while tossing Linfield's first complete seven-inning perfect game in 16 years.
 
The Wildcats put up 45 runs over four games against the Boxers and allowed just one run defensively.
 
McNeley is putting together an impressive sophomore season after winning National Freshman of the Year a season ago. She has amassed a 14-1 record in 2025 to go along with 93 strikeouts and a 2.38 ERA while making a solid case for the National Player of the Year award.
 
The Wildcats face a tough test this weekend when they take on the second ranked team in the NWC in the Lewis & Clark Pioneers with two doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday
