Hall of Fame
One of the most prolific softball players in program history is Caitlyn Calhoun. She earned the prestigious honor of being named Gulf South Conference Pitcher of the Decade in 2020. She had an outstanding career in the circle for the red and black and earned GSC Top Ten honors in 2016. The Hamilton, Ohio, native, was named first team all-conference in both 2015 and 2016, as she practically rewrote the VSU softball record book with six no-hitters (also a GSC record), 33 career shutouts and 574 career strikeouts. In 2015, she put together a record-setting campaign as she led the nation in shutouts with 19, while racking up four no-hitters for a new GSC record. She went 28-5 with a 1.33 ERA. She earned first team all-America, all-conference and all-region honors. Calhoun tossed seven-straight shutouts in 2015 for a tie for third all-time in league history. The 2016 season saw her strikeout 261 batters over 210 innings of work and held teams to a .149 batting average. The 261 strikeouts are ninth all-time in GSC history for a single season and third in VSU history, while her 574 career strikeouts are ninth in GSC history and second in VSU history. Calhoun was named GSC Pitcher of the Year in 2015 and 2016.
