History

Since joining the conference in 1981, Saint Peter's has won the MAAC regular season championship twice, doing so in 1996 in a tie with the Canisius Golden Griffins and in 2000. The Peacocks won the MAAC tournament championship in 2001, clinching a berth in the 2001 NCAA Division I softball tournament after defeating the Marist Red Foxes 2–0.[3]

In their first appearance in the NCAA tournament, the Peacocks faced off against Arizona. The Peacocks attempted a late-game comeback, scoring two runs in the top of the seventh inning, but were defeated by a score of 4–2.[4] The Wildcats, led by star pitcher Jennie Finch, would end up winning the 2001 Women's College World Series.[5] Saint Peter's were eliminated from the tournament by Texas Tech, losing in a 3–2 contest.[6]
