Today's perfect game against Iowa was the first for Gourley in her career. It was the first perfect game by the Gators since Stephanie Brombacher achieved the feat against N.C. State on Feb. 12, 2011. It's only the sixth overall perfect game in program history and Gourley is now the fourth individual to throw a perfect game for the Gators.

Seniorstole the show in the opening game of the Judi Garman Classic at the Anderson Family Field on the campus of Cal State Fullerton Thursday, March 2. The Lakeside, Calif. native threw just 62 pitches and struck out 12 Hawkeyes in the 8-0 victory over Iowa.Gourley faced the minimum of 15 batters in the run-rule effort to improve to 7-1 on the season. Only a trio of Hawkeyes were able to connect and put the ball into fair territory for the Gators (16-1) defense, none of which was threatening enough to cause concern.In the top of the second inning, Iowa catcher Brooke Rozier was the first to put the ball into play after four-straight strikeouts from Gourley. Rozier sent a high popup to second baseman, which was easily handled despite the suns position in the sky for a noontime contest.Freshman third basemanmade the second defensive stop of the contest on a grounder looking for the 5-6 hole from Cheyenne Pratt while DeWitt handled the a 4-3 putout in the fourth for the other two.Offensively, the Gators were efficient on the bases as the team left only five stranded while scoring eight runs on just seven hits.Hoover led the charge, as she was one of three Gators to go 2-for-2 at the plate but led the team with a trio of RBIs. Hoover drove in runs via a bases loaded hit-by-pitch in the first, a single up the middle in the second and an infield base hit to the shortstop in the fourth.Catcherandwere the other two Gators to go perfect at the plate in the first game. Wheaton also accounted for seven putouts while freshmantallied five after catching the final two innings of play.Florida returns to action in the Judi Garman Classic against Long Beach State at 8:30 p.m. EST.

You can tell how good her stuff was when the catcher sets up, gives the sign, sets up the target and she hits the target. I don't think Janell (Wheaton) or Jordan (Roberts) moved the glove very many times today. When she was pitching I thought her stuff was good; good rice ball good change up and down her command was overall excellent."
