BARBIE BARRETT '88

Basketball, Softball

One of the outstanding two-sport performers and captains in the College's history, BARBIE BARRETT left as the second-leading scorer in basketball and presumably first softball 200-hit performer in national Division II history.

As a four-year starter for the basketball team, Barrett scored 1,142 points with 241 assists, 173 steals, and a .708 free throw percentage while leading the Greyhounds to the Northeast-10 Conference playoffs four straight years.

As a four-year standout shortstop for the softball team, she established a legacy that may never be duplicated. The career batting leader at the College, she was a two-time Northeast-10 Conference Player-of-the-Year (1987, 88) and four-time first team all-star at shortstop.

She was named a Northeast-10 Conference and New England first-team all star in each of her four years in softball. In basketball, she capped her career as an Northeast-10 Conference all-star. She was the first player to score 300 points in a season three times and finished her career by averaging 15.1 points and leading the Northeast-10 Conference in three-point field goal accuracy (.488)

She scored a career-best 28 points at Springfield College and contributed 23 points including her 1,000th career point in a victory over defending national champion New Haven. A knee injury cost her six games and a chance to leave as the College's all-time leading scorer and the first to play 100 games (she played 96).

In softball, she batted .505 as a freshman to co-lead the nation with fellow freshman and Hall of Famer Ellen Tremper '88. She also set the New England standard for hits in a season (73) in 1987 and the then New England (and possible national record for hits in a career with 213). She also left with the New England marks for runs batted in (108), batting average (.477) and runs scored (109).

As a senior Barrett was named winner of the Andrew Laska Award as the College's premier female athlete for 1987-88.

She currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer for the City of Brattleboro, VT.
