"That might be the only way to describe the kind of season the 2004 St. John Vianney High School girls softball team had this spring. All the Lady Lancers did was compile a perfect 33-0 record, win the Shore Conference, the Monmouth County title and the NJSIAA Parochial A state championship. But what really made what they did so special, what really set this past season apart from any other, was the 33 victories. No other girls softball team in New Jersey state history has ever won that many... The state championship was the Lancers’ third in four years. They also won the Parochial A title in 2001 and 2002, and only a 3-0, 12-inning loss to Immaculate Heart Academy in last year’s state final prevented a three-peat.... Then, in their next game, the Lancers faced Mount St. Dominick in the state finals and also won that game 1-0. They scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh when Reingle singled and Eder walked to put runners on first and second. Zreeland then laid down a two-strike bunt that was misplayed into an error as pinch-runner Laura Aniello raced home with the winning run to cap St. John Vianney’s 33-0 state championship season."
