Hall, the 2000 NCAA Division III Midwest Region Coach of the Year, also serves as assistant athletic director and senior women’s administrator.
Hall came to Elmhurst in 1994 when the Bluejays were coming off one of their worst seasons in school history. In just her second season, she had the Bluejays back on track, posting a 21-20 record. Hall captured her first CCIW title in 1998 and her teams have won six CCIW Volleyball titles in her 13 seasons. She has guided the Bluejays to the NCAA Tournament on seven occasions.
In 2005, Hall earned her fourth CCIW Coach of the Year honor after guiding the Bluejays to an impressive 31-10 overall record, and a CCIW Tournament title. The Bluejays also qualified for the NCAA Division III National Tournament for the sixth-straight season. The team was nationally ranked throughout the season, marking the sixth-straight season that the team has finished the season ranked in the top-25.
Under Hall's guidance, her players have earned nine AVCA All-America honors including two-time honorees Nicole Carlson and Lindsay Johnson in 2005. Hall has also coached five CCIW Player of the Year honorees and 47 all-conference players.
