A dominant pitcher, Bridget Paul was the signature player of the Cedarburg High School softball program, which was widely recognized among the best in the area during the eighties, nineties and early 2000’s.

An outstanding performer throughout her entire four years at CHS, Paul posted a remarkable career earned run average of 0.82; and her career totals of 66 wins, 40 shutouts, 10 no-hitters and 646 strikeouts still rank first in Cedarburg High School history.  Her senior year was her finest, as she threw 18 shutouts in 25 total games.   She was equally dominant in conference play that season, pitching all 14 games, throwing 12 shutouts, and allowing only two runs overall, as the Bulldogs finished 14-0 and won the North Shore Conference Championship.

Paul also performed at a very high level during post-season play, leading her team to four WIAA Regional Championships (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001) and two WIAA State Tournament appearances (1999 and 2001).

She received several individual accolades during her career.  She was a four-time, First Team All-North Shore Conference selection and was named Conference Player of the Year in 2001.  She received Wisconsin Softball Coaches Association First Team All-State honors in 2000 and 2001, as well as Third Team All-State honors in 1999.
