Cortney Mitchell, who hails from Mt. Juliet, TN, is arguably the best non-pitcher to ever play for the Blue Raider softball program and her statistics bear that out.
While playing for the Blue Raiders, she practically destroyed the offensive record book.

She is 2^nd all-time in batting average at .423 and 1^st in doubles with 51. She was the NCAA leader in doubles in both 2003 and 2004, making her the first MT player to ever lead an NCAA statistical category.

She a 1^st-team All-Sun Belt selection in 2003 and 2004. In that short span of time, she went from being honored as the conference Newcomer of the Year (2003) to being the conference Player of the Year (2004). She was NFCA All-Region in both seasons.

With this list of credentials, she was named to the All-Time Sun Belt Conference team, an honor clearly deserved.
