DACI DeLEON
Softball 2004 - 2006

DACI DeLEON was one of the most dominating pitchers in the history of the UT Dallas softball program. In just three seasons, DeLeon put her name among the leaders in several categories in the UTD record book, and won post-season honors in the ultra-competitive American Southwest Conference all three seasons.
  DeLeon threw the first no-hitter in UTD softball history in a game against UT-Tyler on March 29, 2005. Later that season, she threw a one-hitter against East Texas Baptist and finished the year with a record-setting 1.14 earned run average (ERA) and 11-2 record with six shutous. She also held opposing batters to a remarkable .174 batting average, another school record.
 
A three-time All-ASC East Division performer, DeLeon was named to the league’s elite All-Conference team in 2005 and was also named second-team All-West Region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA). She twice earned ASC Academic All-Conference honors.
 
DeLeon set a school career record for strikeouts (202) in just three seasons, averaging over eight per game. Her career ERA of 1.84 and 26 wins ranks second in those categories. She made 41 career starts with 27 complete games and 10 shutouts.
 
An award-winning pitcher at Hays High School near Kyle, Texas, DeLeon won over 60 games during her high school career and led her team to the playoffs four times. She graduated from UTD with a degree in Business Administration in 2006 and currently works as a human resources specialist at the corporate headquarters of Rent-A-Center in Plano.
