ATLANTA, Ga. - The ASUN Conference Hall of Fame announced its newest members with the Class of 2020 inductees, featuring four individuals that left an incredible mark on both their universities and the league.

Information about prior Hall of Fame inductees and the ASUN can be found at www.asunhalloffame.org. Additional bios, videos, photo galleries and news for the Class of 2020 will also be launched on the day of the ceremony.

"It's hard to put into words the over-arching impact Alex Kelly had on Lipscomb Volleyball," said head coach Brandon Rosenthal. "Even with today's team, Alex is still discussed at length. Legend or lore, Alex has earned it all.  It was an incredible experience to coach Alex and as much as I pushed her, she pushed me and the rest of the program to be better, EVERY SINGLE DAY.  Arguably, one of the most competitive people that has ever come through this program, Alex had a vision for her individual and team play.  She was a huge part of one of the most dominant teams Lipscomb has ever seen and while it looked easy at times, it mainly happened because of the drive and dedication that Alex demanded of herself and the rest of her teammates.

"On and off the court Alex has always strived to be the very best. The incredible drive that we all witnessed is the same today in her professional life.  Alex was never one to cut corners or back down from a challenge.  This mindset was incredible and was a major part of the successful change that the program saw through her four years here at Lipscomb. This is an incredible honor that I am so proud of, because she worked extremely hard at pushing the limit of what was perceived our program could do.  She looked to challenge those perceived limits and set a new standard for not only Lipscomb Volleyball, but also ASUN Volleyball.  She literally redefined the middle position as she became a six rotation player.  Arguably, one of the most well rounded players this conference has ever seen, Alex left her mark on our program, Lipscomb University, and ASUN Conference."
  Alex Kelly
Lipscomb | 2007-10 (Volleyball)
One of the most decorated players in ASUN Volleyball history, Kelly's name is scribbled throughout the conference record book. A four-time All-Tournament Team selection, including being named the 2010 Tournament MVP, she helped guide the Lipscomb Bisons to three ASUN Championship titles and three NCAA Tournament appearances during her illustrious career. Kelly landed on the ASUN All-Conference First Team three seasons (2008-10) while being named Player of the Year twice (2008-09) and an All-Freshman Team member in 2007. Kelly was twice named to the AVCA Honorable Mention All-America Team (2009-10) and also earned ASUN All-Academic distinction all four years she suited up for the Bisons. 
 
Her 1,746 career kills rank third in ASUN history while she also sits in the top-10 for kills per set (3.89; T-6th) and blocks (380; 10th). Kelly led the conference for three consecutive seasons (2008-10) in kills and points while also holding the ASUN's top spot for hitting percentage (.332) in 2008. She was the first player in league history to win three Player of the Week awards in one season (2008) and her eight total weekly honors are second all-time. Kelly is one of only 14 ASUN volleyball student-athletes to be named First Team All-Conference at least three years.
