Owning the circle like few collegiate pitchers before or since, Johnson authored seven perfect games and pitched 13 no-hitters (11 solo) during her Sea Gull tenure, matching University of Texas legend Cat Osterman for the most perfectos across all NCAA levels. Johnson is one of 20 Division III pitchers all-time with 1,000 career strikeouts, racking up 1,073 in her career to go along with 99 wins, both of which rank second in program history. Johnson also shares the SU single-game strikeout record, producing 17 whiffs in back-to-back starts on Apr. 13-14, 2013.
 
Johnson was the first Salisbury player to earn three NFCA First-Team All-America nods (2013-15) and is one of eight SU student-athletes across all sports to make at least two Academic all-America teams (2013, '15). A CAC Silver Anniversary Team honoree, she made four straight All-CAC sides (2012-15) and captured CAC Player of the Year accolades twice (2013-14), as well as earning NFCA All-Region in all four seasons.
 
With Johnson at the helm, Salisbury posted a four-year mark of 160-24, played in four NCAA Tournaments, and qualified for three straight College World Series (2013-15), finishing as national runner-up in 2014. Johnson played an outsized role in the Sea Gulls' 2013 run, earning Salem Regional MVP recognition after starting and winning all four regional games.
