Though she only played two seasons (2002 and 2003) Geralyn Elam made her mark in both Barry and Sunshine State Conference history. In just two seasons at Barry, Elam earned back-to-back SSC Pitcher of the Year awards in 2002 and 2003, and was honored twice as a first-team NFCA All-American. In 2002, Elam posted a 32-6 record with a 0.28 ERA and 406 strikeouts, leading all NCAA Division II pitchers in strikeouts and ERA and earning the fireballer NFCA/NCAA Division II Player of the Year honors. Her 406 strikeouts, in 2002, rank 11th in NCAA Division II history. She threw back-to-back perfect games in the 2002 South Region tournament, beating Kentucky State and Saint Leo.

Elam closed out her stellar career with a 64-11 record with a 0.62 ERA, 61 complete games, 30 shutouts and 709 strikeouts in 529.1 innings pitched. She helped carry the Bucs to back-to-back SSC championships in 2002 and 2003 and a fifth-place NCAA Championship finish in 2002.

When the SSC picked the top players of the first quarter century, Elam was tabbed as the top pitcher. She was selected to the SSC Hallf of Fame in 2009.
