The most dominate pitcher in Messiah softball history, Jessica (Rhoads) Morret holds nearly every single season and career pitching record in program history. In three seasons with the Falcons, Morret carried a 0.52 ERA with 895 strikeouts across 501.1 innings pitched. She went 71-6 with 52 complete games and 34 shutouts. She also earned seven saves while holding batters to a minuscule .113 batting average against. No slouch at the plate, Morret also hit .349 in her career with 10 home runs and 60 RBI.
 
A First Team All-American in 2010, Morret's best year might have been her freshman campaign in 2009 when the Falcons claimed the National Championship. Morret, in many ways, willed the Falcons to the Title. In eight starts in the NCAA Tournament, she went 8-0 with a 0.50 ERA with 84 strikeouts across 56.0 innings, allowing just four runs on 21 hits as the Falcons swept their way to the first National Championship in program history. Across her career, Morret was a three-time First Team All-Conference honoree (2009, 2010, 2011), two-time Conference Pitcher of the Year (2009, 2010), and two-time First Team All-Region honoree (2009, 2010).
