Michelle Petrillo was the 2005 OAC Women's Tennis Player of the Year, becoming the first player in program history to earn the honor. She was part of a very successful era of women's tennis at John Carroll in which the Blue Streaks captured the 2004 OAC regular season and tournament championships and reached the finals of the OAC Tournament in 2005.

In her final three seasons, Petrillo was recognized by the OAC as an honorable mention as a sophomore before claiming first team status as a junior and senior. She amassed a career record of 98-38, which included a 50-16 mark in singles (46-9 over final three seasons). She also compiled a record of 48-22 in doubles. She played No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles in each of last two seasons after playing No. 3 singles and No. 2 doubles as a sophomore.

Petrillo was very prolific in OAC play as she put together a combined career record of 50-20 in singles and doubles play against conference opposition, including 22-5 in singles in her final three seasons. Her biggest victory was winning her No. 1 singles match in straight sets in JCU's title clinching win over Ohio Northern in 2004.
