She also broke multiple program records that have since been broken, including batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, home runs, walks, RBIs, walks and total bases. She was inducted into the university’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019.

Before becoming Head Coach at Ohio, Hall also spent time as an assistant coach at Ohio State and Pittsburgh.
