Corinne Reiser Houser dominated opposing batters for the Cougar softball team from 2001 to 2004, racking up a whopping 782 strikeouts in her career. She also holds school records for earned run average (0.83), winning percentage (.747) and single-season batting average (.492).
In 2004, Corinne led the Cougars to the CACC regular-season and tournament titles, the NCAA Division II Northeast Region crown and a berth in the Women’s College World Series by pitching all nine postseason games. A four-time all-CACC performer, Corinne was named a second team All-American in 2004 after going 27-4 with 331 strikeouts and a microscopic ERA of 0.51 that year.
“Our run to the World Series was surreal,” she said. “We just kept winning and advancing, by taking one game at a time. It’s really satisfying looking back, but I didn’t really appreciate it at the time. I was just focusing on one pitch at a time and counting them up later.”
A native of West Milford, N.J., Corinne lives in Highland Lakes, N.J., with her husband Jeff and their sons Tyler and Trent.
