Spring Hill College softball alumni Monica DeSilva Kelsey (’02) will be inducted into the Spring Hill College Athletic Hall of Fame in the fall.

Kelsey played for the Badgers from 1998-2002. The four-time All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference selection and NAIA All-Region selection helped the Badgers to a third-place finish in the 1999 NAIA National Tournament. She is the career leader in RBIs with 122 and assists with 364. Kelsey was named a NAIA All-American in 2001. Kelsey recorded 45 career doubles, was a Daktronics National Scholar Athlete in 2002 and First-Team NAIA All-American in 2001.

The ceremony, set for the evening of October 19 at Byrne Memorial Hall, will also feature the enshrinement of fellow Badger alumni Jeff Burg (’94), Joe Imorde (’61), Tony Younger (’02), Jennifer Cunningham (’99), former Head Coach Coby Mackin (softball, 1998-2005) and the recognition of the inaugural 1998 softball team that finished 43-17. The Spring Hill College Athletic Hall of Fame has enshrined the best in Badger athletics since 1972. There have been 150 student-athletes and coaches honored in the SHC Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame members include nationally renowned sports figures such as Nick Bollettieri, who founded IMG Academy, and Dr. Ferdie Pacheco, Muhammed Ali’s fight doctor.
