Lori Harrigan-Mack (born September 5, 1970) is an American, former collegiate All-American, right-handed hitting, left-handed softball pitcher originally from Anaheim, California. She was a three-time Olympic Champion as a member of the Team USA winning in 1996, 2000 and 2004. Harrigan played collegiately from 1989–1992 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where she owns numerous records; she is the Big West career leader in shutouts and innings pitched.
Harrigan kicked off her career being named a 1989 Second Team All-Big West honoree. She broke school season records in ERA, strikeouts and shutouts, all remain top-10 all-time. For her sophomore year, she earned identical conference accolades and broke her own ERA record while also setting new marks in wins (1990 NCAA top-10) and shutouts, both career highs, the latter of which remains the best for a Rebel season. Along with the second most innings pitched record (top-10 in the conference all-time), Harrigan also twirled her first no-hitter vs. the Utah Utes on March 16, 1990. The Rebels would make the 1990 Women's College World Series and Harrigan would toss all three games, including a win over the Kent State Golden Flashes before being eliminated by the FSU Seminoles on May 26.
As a junior, Harrigan earned a NFCA Third Team All-American citation to go along with a First Team All-Big West award. She would better her own ERA record and post a school and career best in strikeouts. Her wins (1991 NCAA top-10), shutouts and innings pitched are top-5 for a school season, the innings remains a conference top-10 mark. Harrigan would also toss two no-hitters that year. Her second and last appearance at the WCWS included a 13-inning loss to eventual champs the Arizona Wildcats on May 23.
