Hall of Fame
Michelle Mitchell is the only two-time All-American in the storied history of the Columbus State women's basketball program, leading the Lady Cougars to back-to-back Peach Belt Conference regular-season and tournament championships during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. She was named the PBC Player of the Year in both of her seasons in Columbus, averaging 20.2 points per game in 63 contests. Mitchell's point per game average is the best in CSU history (minimum of 40 games) and the second best in PBC history, while her 42-point outburst against Clayton State University during the 2014-15 season still stands as the school record. She is the program's all-time leader in field goals made (524) and is third in total points (1,274), fifth in field goal percentage (.477), and sixth in rebounds per game (8.0). The 2015 PBC Tournament MVP also stood out in the classroom earning spots on the CoSIDA Academic All-District team in 2015 and 2016, graduating from CSU with a degree in criminal justice.Â
