Graf wrapped up her career ranked fifth in NCAA Division III history in strikeouts per seven innings and eighth in strikeouts after ranking in the top-five nationally in both categories in all four of her full seasons. Over her career, she was a four-time NFCA All-Midwest Region selection, a two-time MIAC Pitcher of the Year, a three-time Academic All-MIAC honoree, a two-time College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District ® selection – including being the program’s first CoSIDA Academic All-American ® in 2020 – and was one of 15 finalists for the Schutt Sports/NFCA Division III National Pitcher and Player of the Year award in 2021.
