Hall of Fame
The third softball player elected to the FGCU Athletics Hall of Fame, Pohlman will also be a 2024 Atlantic Sun Conference Hall of Fame inductee. The 2011 ASUN Player of the Year, Pohlman also earned Easton All-American Third Team recognition. A two-time All-ASUN First Team member (2009, 2011), Pohlman was also named to the 2009 NFCA All-Region Division I First Team. Pohlman earned All-ASUN Second Team recognition in 2010 and was a member of the ASUN All-Freshman Team in 2008. Pohlman still ranks among the career top-10 in 15 different statistical categories, including the lead in walks (175), second in on-base percentage (.514) and doubles (49), fourth in total bases (346) and hit by pitch (19), sixth in runs scored (151) and games started (221), seventh in hits (204), home runs (25), RBI (124) and slugging percentage (.602), eighth in triples (9), ninth in batting average (.355) and 10th in games played (223). Pohlman helped lead the Eagles to the 2008 ASUN regular season championship in the program's first season of D-I play.
"It is an exceptionally great honor to be inducted into the FGCU Athletics Hall of Fame," Pohlman said. "It feels surreal to be recognized amongst this group of incredibly talented athletes. I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to my coaches, friends, and peers at FGCU, who were foundational in providing athletic and life experiences that most people can only dream of. Being a part of this University's legacy is one of my proudest achievements."
"I could talk about Courtney for hours," said FGCU softball coach Dave Deiros. "Courtney worked her way into the starting lineup from day one and never left. She was universally beloved by every teammate and coach because of her incredible talent, boundless work ethic and genuine humility and kindness. It was a foregone conclusion that I would recruit one of the best Southwest Florida high school softball players ever, but I have to say she met and exceeded every expectation I had for her as a member of the Green and Blue. Courtney (Platt) Pohlman, affectionately known as 'Platty' to all of us, is definitely a Hall of Famer in every sense of the phrase."
