A four-time All-American at BVU, Heather (White) Hupke made a name for herself as a star pitcher for the Beavers. In 1992, her first collegiate season, she finished the year with the nation's lowest earned runaverage (0.47), as she helped lead the team to an NCAA runner-up finish. She compiled a 12-2 overall record that season en route toa career record of 72-20.
The rest of her career was much of the same as she became a four-time all-conference and all-region performer and was named the Iowa Conference MVP after posting a conference-record 14 wins during her senior campaign. She helped lead the Beavers to three Iowa Conference Championships (1992, 1994, and 1995), as well as another top-five national finish (fifth-place) in 1994.
To this day, the three-time Buena Vista MVP holds the program's career marks in wins (72), appearances (97), complete games (79),shutouts (30), innings pitched (602.1), and strikeouts (525). Hupke is also found atop the BVU single-season list for wins (24;1995), appearances (35; 1995), complete games (29; 1995), shutouts(11; 1993), and innings pitched (217; 1995).
