Hall of Fame
Carissa Bull (Cantrell) was a two-sport star during her time as a student-athlete at Newberry College. She played softball and volleyball from 1996-2000.
Bull was an elite two-sport athlete, with speed being her greatest attribute. In between the chalk on the softball diamond, Bull stole 62 bases while donning the Scarlet & Grey. This included multiple seasons of 20 or more stolen bases. These seasons included her 24 bags she swiped in 1997 and 21 in 1998 which still stand sixth and ninth respectively in school history.
Bull also used her speed to get around the bases out of the batter's box as well, ranking sixth in program history with nine career triples. Bull also stepped in the box her fair share of times, as she is still ninth in the Newberry record books with 574 career at-bats.
Carissa was also an elite run producer during her time at Newberry College. She is still third all-time in single season runs scored with 44. This also was put on display during the entirety of her career, as Bull is ninth in program history in career runs scored with 107.
In 1997, she was awarded one of the most prestigious honors any Newberry College student-athlete can be bestowed: the Billy Douglas Community Player Award. This award is given to a student-athlete that achieves exemplary work with the Newberry community.
