Daniela Pappano was a four-time First-Team All-OVC selection on the softball diamond from 2004-07 and rewrote the Gamecocks offensive records during her time in Jacksonville. She led JSU to its first OVC title in 2005 as a sophomore and saw the Gamecocks finish in the top two in each of her last two seasons. Over her career, she helped JSU post 161 wins, including a 73-25 record in OVC play. She also performed on the international level, competing with Team Canada. The Gamecocks won 40-or-more games three times in her four seasons after posting just two 40-win seasons in program history to that point. She was named the school's female Eagle Owl Award winner for the 2006-07 academic year, recognizing her as the top student-athlete of that season in all sports. She was named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll multiple times for her work in the classroom, complimenting a stellar career in right field for JSU. That playing career saw her earn multiple honors while breaking numerous school records. The Bolton, Ontario, Canada, native was named the 2006 OVC Player of the Year and was then named to the NFCA/Louisville Slugger All-Region Team. She still holds the school's career records in five offensive categories: hits (287), home runs (53), doubles (65), RBI (196) and runs scored (205). Her .387 career batting average is fourth-best in school history. As a freshman in 2004, she ranked sixth nationally in RBI per game, while her junior season saw her rank ninth nationally in doubles per game. She is the second Gamecock softball player inducted into the JSU Athletics Hall of Fame, joining Ann Shelton (2009).
