Athenas Softball won its first SCIAC title in 1991, just the program's second varsity season, and Kristine Zoch's recruitment in 1997 brought CMS back to an elite level, pitching the Athenas to two SCIAC Championships. As a first-year, Zoch led CMS to a 22-2 league record, which remains the best league winning percentage in program history, and she followed that up by earning All-America honors in 1998 and 1999, tallying a program-record 0.68 earned run average in the 1999 season. As a senior, she earned the SCIAC Player of the Year for the second time, and All-Region for the third time. Zoch was inducted into the Ted Ducey CMS Hall of Fame in 2013.
