Bio

2019:  Fiessinger becomes Carson-Newman's first pure All-American outfielder since 2014 when Kelli Hensley earned All-America honors from Daktronics.  This is Carson-Newman's 19th All-America honor all-time.  Fiessinger was a hitting machine for Carson-Newman.  The junior finished the year as the SAC's regular season batting champion with a .442 average and finished the year with a .424 average.  It's the 18th highest single-season batting average in program history.  She slugged .818 to become the fourth Eagle all-time to slug better than .800 for a year. She finished with the third-highest slugging percentage in program history to Brittany Hefner and Bre Lockett.  Fiessinger racked up 15 multi-hit efforts.  She had a septet of three-hit days.  The junior drove in five runs in a win over Tusculum, the second most in her career and tied for the 10th most for a single-game in program history. The Benton, Ky.-native has six-multi-RBI days and was the team leader with 11 home runs.  Fiesssinger saw a 15-game hitting streak, the sixth longest in program history, come to an end in the first game of the Southeast Regionals.  The junior didn't go back-to-back games this year without a hit.  Her batting average never dipped below .404 on the year. With 17 doubles, Fiessinger ranks 35th in the nation in two-baggers.  Her 17 doubles are tied for the 10th most in single-season history at Carson-Newman.

Elayna Siebert played second in 2015, but also split time in the outfield, behind the plate and at short; she earned her All-America status as a utility player.  She and Lacie Rinus became the second and third freshmen in the history of the Carson-Newman softball program to earn All-America honors.  Fiessinger hit .398 for the season, the sixth highest in the South Atlantic Conference.  She hit a team-best 10 home runs, five triples and 72 base hits.  She was 13 hits away from breaking into the top seven for a single season in conference history. The Benton, Ky.-native started the year on an 18-game hitting streak, the fourth longest in school history.  Her top single-game effort came March 27 against Brevard.  She tied the single-game school record with two triples against Tornados. The two triples were a part of a four-hit day for Fiessinger.  Combined with a home run and a single, she had 11 total bases on the day, the second most in school history. She drove in seven RBI against Brevard, including six in one inning.  The seven runs batted in runs batted in are the third most in school history.  She has scored 52 runs this season, 10 away from the eighth most in league history.
