Hall, a sophomore from Mechanicsville, Va., is the third Yellow Jacket in the last three years to earn an AVCA third team spot, joining current teammate Erin Quinn (2016) and former standout Courtney Lowers (2015). Hall adds this honor to ODAC Player of the Year and All-ODAC First Team laurels this season. She finished first in the ODAC in kills per set (3.18), third in total kills (308), and fourth in points per set (3.3) and total points earned (324.5). She was especially effective against league foes, ranking first in kills per set (3.48), third in points per set (3.6), fourth in hitting percentage (.325), and seventh in total kills (108). Hall registered 10 or more kills in a match 17 times with a pair of season-high 20-kill efforts at Washington and Lee and at Emory.

Clark, a junior from Stuarts Draft, Va., was also an All-ODAC First Team choice this season. This is the second straight year she has earned All-American honorable mention status. She sixth in the ODAC in hitting percentage (.257), seventh in total kills (265), and eighth in kills per set (2.62) and total blocks (62). She ranked 13th in blocks per set (0.61). She notched 14 double figure kill outings, including a season-high 16 in a five-set non-conference thriller against nationally ranked Juniata College.

Guignon, a junior from St. Louis, Mo., is the ninth player in program history to earn All-American honors, and this marks the fifth straight season a General has been honored. Guignon led the ODAC in kills (342) and was second in kills per set (3.17). She was 10th in digs (383) and 15th in digs per set (3.55). Guignon had double-digit kills in 17 matches, and recorded a double-double in 11 contests. That includes 22 digs in a the ODAC title match versus Randolph-Macon in which she cross the 1,000 career dig plateau. She is 43 kills short of joining the 1,000-1,000 club, which includes five prevoius Generals.
