On April 26, 2008, Sara Tucholsky, a reserve outfielder on the Wolves softball team, hit the first home run of her college career in a victory over Central Washington University, but injured her knee rounding first base; Central Washington's Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace carried Tucholsky around the rest of the bases to home plate. This act of sportsmanship was heavily covered by national media outlets, and resulted in Tucholsky, Holtman, and Wallace's winning the Best Moment award at the 2008 ESPY Awards.
The Wolves softball team appeared in one Women's College World Series in 1975.
