Elisa Bartolo - Florida Tech, Softball and Volleyball
A star softball player who also made her mark in volleyball, Elisa Bartolo was one of the most prolific student-athletes to don the Florida Tech crimson and gray. Originally from Titusville, Florida, Bartolo enjoyed two of the finest single seasons in NCAA softball history. As a junior in 1995, Bartolo led the nation with a .581 batting average, earning SSC Player of the Year and first team All-America honors. The following year, she topped the country once again, posting a .549 mark en route to second team All-America honors. In the seven years which have elapsed since her graduation, Bartolo’s numbers have certainly stood the test of time. She remains the Panthers’ all-time career leader in hits (295), batting average (.466), stolen bases (201) and runs scored (224). Bartolo’s name remains atop the SSC’s career leader board in stolen bases (1st), batting average (2nd), hits (2nd), and walks (3rd). Bartolo’s name can still be found among the NCAA’s single-season and career leaders, as she ranks in the top-18 in eight single-season categories and in the top-16 in four career categories. A 1996 graduate of Florida Tech with a degree in Technical Communications, Bartolo is currently employed as a quality engineer in Phoenix, Arizona.
