Bethune-Cookman University Athletics

Jill Weaver, a two-year standout for the Wildcats, arrived with a lot of expectations, and she lived up to every one of them in her time wearing the Maroon and Gold on the softball diamond. Weaver was twice named to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) all-conference team in 1997 and 1998, respectfully. She arrived to Daytona Beach from Hillsborough Community College in her hometown of Tampa, after already being named Times' Pinellas County Player of the Year as a senior in high school with Largo High School. Under fellow B-CU Hall of Fame head coach Laura Watten, Weaver pitched and bat for the Wildcats. In her Bethune-Cookman career, Weaver led the Wildcats in doubles (42) in 1997, as well as leading the team in appearances on the mound in back-to-back years with 31 and 24, accordingly. As a junior, she worked a career-best 196 innings, followed by 146 innings in the circle as a senior in 1998. In two seasons, she picked up 29 wins – 17 of those coming in her junior season. Currently, she still sits in the top 10 of B-CU history for career victories. She also posted 207 career strikeouts in the circle for the Maroon and Gold. Additionally, as a senior, she tallied a 1.54 ERA, after posting a 2.35 ERA the previous season.
