Alyssa Davis | Inducted 2016
Alyssa Davis, Class of 2012, was a four-year member of the program while also playing for four seasons with the Mountaineers’ women’s basketball squad, setting a slew of records for both crews. The Sutton, Vt. native (Lyndon Institute) was named the Scott McKenzie Sportswoman of the Year in both 2011 and 2012, becoming the first-ever SVC student-athlete to pick up the honor more than once. She was also named to the All-NECC Softball First Team in both of those years. Davis graduated in 2012 with her bachelor’s degree in business administration/sports management after having played more softball games with the Mountaineer jersey than any other player before her. She tallied the second-best (.488 – ’11) and fourth-best (.462 – ’12) single season batting averages in program history, helping herself rank second on the team’s all-time average list with an outstanding mark of .434. She also turned in the best-ever on-base percentage, her .487 being 82 points higher than the second-best in the category. She racked up 55 hits to cap her career in 2012, helping herself total 152 while at SVC; that still sits as 54 more hits than the second-best tally as Davis is the only player in program history to break the 100 hits mark. Additionally, she scored 47 more runs than any other SVC player, crossing the dish 104 times in her four years. Davis holds the Southern Vermont home run record with 17 dingers, and she also sits atop the RBI list with 75 runs driven in as a Mountaineer. She graduated as the team’s top walks leader (34), and she still sits as the program’s stolen bases leader with 63 swipes. On the hoops side of things, she graduated with two of the top-three best seasons for made three-pointers (42 in 2008-09, 38 in ’09-10) to conclude her tenure at SVC as the program’s most successful shooter from beyond the arc with 138 made threes.
