Albritton Carter put together one of the most storied careers by any student-athlete to ever compete in the Gulf South Conference. A four-year letterwinner for Valdosta State from 2012-15, she helped the softball program to a 200-42 record and captured three-consecutive GSC tournament titles and two GSC regular season crowns, while making four NCAA tournament appearances that yielded three region titles, an NCAA national title in 2012 and a national runner-up finish in 2014. The four-time NFCA All-American, also earned the distinct honor of being the just the second softball player in league-history to be named Freshman and Player of the Year honors in same season (2012) and is a two-time GSC Commissioner Trophy winner (2014-15). She also garnered accolades for her prowess in the classroom including three GSC All-Academic Team selections, a CoSIDA First Team Academic All-America nod in 2015, and the prestigious NCAA Elite 89 Award in 2014. At the time of her induction, Albritton was the conference's career leader in runs scored (268), hits (318), home runs (75), slugging percentage (.824) and total bases (615). She was also the all-time leader in Division II in total bases and fourth nationally in career home runs.
