A standout outfielder on the Miami softball diamond from 1988-91, Monique Abbitt remains a powerful presence in Miami's record books. Abbitt currently owns four Miami career records--at bats (660), hits (216), doubles (36) and triples (15)--and also ranks second in runs scored (109), third in batting average (.327), ties for third in stolen bases (40) and ranks fourth in home runs (13) and runs batted in (70). During her career, Abbitt also placed her named on eight single-season charts and is the single-season record holder for hits (74 in 1991) and triples (6 in 1991).

As a junior in 1990, she helped Miami to a program record 36 wins, the first 30-win season for the Red and White, and followed with a 34-win season as a senior in 1991, marking the only time in program history with back-to-back 30-win seasons. Twice she was honored as an All-Mid-American Conference selection, earning second-team honors in 1990 and 1991. Abbitt also was a standout in the classroom, garnering Academic All-MAC accolades three times and being tabbed a CoSIDA Academic All-American in 1991, the only Miami softball player to earn Academic All-America recognition.
