Hall of Fame
Mary Alexis Paul arrived at Johns Hopkins in 1997 - she spent the next four years etching her name throughout the Blue Jay volleyball record book.
A dominating hitter, Paul still holds school records for kills (1,609) and hitting percentage (.302) and remains the only player in school history with more than 1,400 career kills. She also holds the top two single-season kill totals in school history (576, 492) and the single-season mark for kills per game (4.88).
In addition to ranking as one of the top hitters in school and Centennial Conference history, Paul also ranks among JHU's all-time leaders in digs (1,419) and service aces (164).
Paul earned All-Centennial Conference honors in each of her four seasons at Homewood, including first team honors twice and second team honors twice as well. She capped her career in 2000 by becoming the first Johns Hopkins player to be selected as the Centennial Conference Player of the Year. She remains one of just four players in school history to earn CC Player of the Year honors and one of five to earn All-Centennial honors four times.
Johns Hopkins was also a member of the UAA during her career and she earned All-UAA honors a school-record three times, including a pair of selections to the second team.
The individual success Paul enjoyed translated to the best four-year run in school history to that point. Johns Hopkins posted a 97-55 record, including a 31-9 mark in the Centennial Conference during her career. She also helped the Blue Jays to their first-ever appearance in the Centennial championship match as a senior and JHU made three trips to the ECAC Championships during her career.
