Tonya Carlisle (1992-95) was the first in the long line of Kennesaw State's great infielders. She was a three-time NAIA All-American selection before being honored as an NCAA Division II All-American in 1995. During that season, Carlisle helped lead the Owls to the first of back-to-back NCAA Division II National Champions while also earning all-tournament honors. Carlisle was the 1995 Peach Belt Athletic Conference Player of the Year as well as an All-Peach Belt Conference selection. A two-time NAIA All-District performer, Carlisle's .383 career batting average is good for 10th all-time and she is currently ninth among the Owls all-time leaders with 142 runs batted in and 10th with 12 triples. Her .425 batting average in 1993 ranks eighth on Kennesaw State's single-season list and her 18 doubles in 1995 rank fifth. During her 190 games with the Owls she compiled a .505 slugging percentage and a .467 on-base percentage while gathering 213 hits. Remarkably, Carlisle struck out just 30 times in 556 career at bats, never striking out more than 10 times in a single season.
