This is Alexis Michon.\u00a0 When Alexis Michon steps into the circle, dominance follows. A cornerstone of {Trine University\u2019s} pitching staff, Michon has turned in a phenomenal season, boasting a staggering 0.83 ERA over 134.1 innings pitched. Her precision, power, and poise under pressure have translated to a near-perfect 21-1 win-loss record, along with 2 crucial saves that underline her versatility and value in any game situation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whether she&#8217;s starting the game or slamming the door shut, Alexis is the definition of a difference-maker. Her command of the strike zone and ability to shut down even the toughest lineups have made her one of the most feared pitchers in the country.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In 2025, Alexis Michon earned a prestigious First-Team NFCA All-Region selection, a testament to her dominance in the circle. She ranks fifth in all of Division III with a remarkable 0.83 ERA, showcasing her ability to shut down even the toughest opponents. This season, Michon etched her name into the Trine history books once again, tossing her fourth career perfect game in a five-inning, seven-strikeout gem against Ohio Northern University.

She responded with the utmost class, saying, \u201cI give a lot of that credit to my entire team for constantly having my back on and off the field. At Trine, our team focuses on being close both on and off the field, and I think that has been the key contributor to my successes here.\u201d Alexis\u2019s response reflects a high level of maturity, emphasizing how Trine\u2019s strong team culture has played a central role in uniting the group and fueling her achievements.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I asked Alexis what she\u2019s most looking forward to when it comes to the competition level in the Northwoods League. She shared that she\u2019s excited for the opportunity to face players from the Division I level. She also mentioned that she\u2019s eager to elevate her game, bring her softball knowledge to the next level, and blend it with her unique abilities. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I asked Alexis what she wants her future teammates to know about her. She responded, \u201cI like to compete, and I like to win. There\u2019s nothing better than playing with a group of your friends on the field and winning there\u2019s just truly nothing better.\u201d She noted that she brings a completely different energy on the field compared to who she is off it.
