REDSHIRT SENIOR (2019)
- Was lights-out in her final season at Mizzou, posting a career-high 19 wins to go along with career-best marks in ERA (2.98), strikeouts (141), innings pitched (183.0), and batting average against (.253).
- Norman's 19 wins were the most by a Mizzou pitcher in three seasons, as Paige Lowary posted 25 back in 2016.
- Norman's 141 strikeouts were the most by a Tiger hurler since Lowary posted 151 back in 2016.
- She tallied Mizzou's 41st-ever no-hitter, blanking the Ducks in a 8-0 five-inning run-rule win (April 7).
- The fifth-year player also got the start in Mizzou's 40th-ever no-no, as she combined with Eli Daniel and Summer Shockley to no-hit New Mexico State (Feb. 23).
- Norman was often best when it mattered most, notching four wins against opponents ranked inside the top-25: at then-No. 13 Kentucky, vs. then-No. 5 Tennssee, vs. then No. 21 South Carolina and at No. 2 UCLA.
- She was brilliant in what would be her last-career game against UCLA, allowing just one run against the normally potent Bruin lineup. Norman allowed just four hits while notching two strikeous.
- Norman posted two of her three career 10-strikeout outings in 2019, posting 10 against both Iowa (Feb. 16) and vs. then-No. 21 South Carolina (May 3).
