Emporia State became the first school to win back to back NAIA Championships in softball with a 32-5 campaign in 1984.  ESU won all five games at the World Series by shutout, the first and so far only time in NAIA history a team has gone unscored on at the national tournament. The Hornets reeled off 15 straight wins plus two exhibition wins over junior college teams to end the season. The win capped a four-year run that included two national championships and a runner-up finish in the NAIA.
