Pam Podolec played softball at Central from 1980-83 and kick-started UCOs softball tradition with a dominating career.

She came in as a true freshman in 1980 and was sensational, pitching all but three innings for the entire team during the season in going 23-14. She threw four no-hitters and four one-hitters in leading the Bronchos to their first-ever national tournament appearance, the AIAW Championship. In 1982 she again guided the Bronchos to the AIAW national tournament, putting together an 18-8 record with an 0.70 earned run average in 190 innings pitched while throwing two perfect games. In 1983, she went 19-11 with an 0.57 ERA in 208 innings with four one-hitters as UCO transitioned into the NAIA.

Podolec was a Second Team NAIA All-American as a senior and certainly would have received similar honors in 1980 and 1982 if the AIAW selected All-America teams.

She finished with a 60-33 career record and posted 24 shutouts. She ranks fourth in career wins and is third in both career shutouts and innings pitched (642) at UCO.
