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.{{cite web |url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/softball_wcws_stats/1990/unlv.htm |title=UNLV WCWS Stats |location=Ncaa.org |access-date=2021-02-27}}
