The Bruins are the all-time winningest program at the Women's College World Series with 107 wins in the tournament's 40-year history, and UCLA has journeyed to Oklahoma City in seven-straight postseasons for the longest active streak in softball. Inouye-Perez leads all active Pac-12 softball coaches with 723 overall victories and 238 conference victories, securing three regular season Pac-12 titles in her tenure as head coach. Inouye-Perez coached Rachel Garcia to two Honda Broderick Cups and three USA Softball Player of the Year awards and produced four 2020 Olympians in Garcia, Bubba Nickels, Delaney Spaulding and Ally Carda. Inouye-Perez and her staff have been consistently recognized for their efforts on and off the field, with the staff being awarded NFCA National Coaching Staff of the Year honors in 2010, 2019 and 2021, and Inouye-Perez herself being named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2021. As the starting catcher on three NCAA championship teams, she earned All-Pac-10 honors in 1989, 1990 and 1992 and was named to the All-Women's College World Series Team in 1992.
