Stacey Fertile began a highly successful women's fastball career at Durham College in 1994. She was considered the Derek Jeter of OCAA women's fastball by her instant championship success personally and with the Lords team. She batted .515 and played flawless at the shortstop position to lead the Lords to a conference regular season title in her first season and then ultimately a championship gold medal the same year.

Another undefeated regular season title would follow the next year and an OCAA silver medal to add to the collection. Her .487 career batting average still ranks third all-time in OCAA history. She was named an OCAA league all-star in 1994 and 1995 for her bat and amazing glove work defensively. She was also named the OCAA championship tournament MVP in her freshman season.

Her abilities were noticed outside the OCAA as she was invited to be a part of Team Canada and the women's fastball national program upon graduation.

Stacey was named a member of the OCAA women's fastball all-millennium team.
