Stenning set a firm foundation for her program the last four years as she graduated three players in 2011 that were four-year lettermen in Nicole Dimiceli, Carrie Sensor, and Kristin Krueger.  All three players rewrote the single season and career record books.  Dimiceli leaves Judson as the most decorated softball player earning four NCCAA All-American and All-CCAC first-team selections. She is also the first-ever NAIA All-American and CoSIDA Academic All-American for the program.
 
The 2010 season brought 30 wins for the first-time, ever, as they posted 31 wins and went to their third NCCAA National Tournament.  Stenning's team also broke five offensive records and had three players named to the All-CCAC first team in Nicole Dimiceli, Concetta Lampugnano, and Lizzy Jacobson.   The 31-29 record also marked the first season above .500 season since 2003.
