A Southern Utah alum, Hall was twice named to the all-conference first team during her tenure as a Thunderbird and was named to the regional all-tournament team in her senior season. She stands 11th all-time in program history with a .334 batting average. Prior to her time with the Thunderbirds, Hall spent two seasons at Phoenix College in Arizona and was a member of the 2004 NJCAA national championship squad.
