RALEIGH, N.C. – The USA South Athletic Conference has announced its 2026 Hall of Fame Class, featuring three former student-athletes representing three different institutions. Meredith College proudly celebrates former women's lacrosse standout Holly Hite Tsolis on her induction into the USA South Athletic Conference Hall of Fame, as announced by the conference office. One of the most decorated student-athletes in program history, Hite Tsolis' legacy continues to define excellence for the Avenging Angels.
A four-year member of the Meredith women's lacrosse program from 2016–2019, Hite Tsolis was a cornerstone of one of the most dominant eras in program history—never dropping a contest against USA South competition. Her impact was immediate and sustained, helping lead Meredith to four USA South Regular Season and Tournament Championships, along with four appearances in the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Individually, Hite Tsolis earned national recognition as a two-time Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-American and a three-time All-Region selection. She was named the 2019 USA South Player of the Year and earned a spot on the IWLCA Division III Senior All-Star Team that same season. A three-time First Team All-Conference selection, she also garnered USA South Tournament Most Valuable Player honors twice.
A dominant force in the draw circle, Hite Tsolis remains the USA South's all-time leader in draw controls, holding conference records for career (568), single-season (222), single-game (18), and tournament (23)—marks that continue to set the standard across the league.
Serving as a two-year team captain, Hite Tsolis embodied leadership and competitive spirit. She was twice named Meredith's "Heart and Hustle MVP" and capped her career by earning the College's Athlete of the Year honor in 2019.
Off the field, Hite Tsolis matched her athletic excellence with academic and campus leadership achievements. She was a two-time member of the IWLCA Academic Honor Squad, a three-time USA South All-Academic honoree, and an active member of Meredith's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) throughout her collegiate career.
Today, Hite Tsolis continues to make an impact professionally as a learning and development consultant, creating and facilitating training programs for organizations and clients. Her work reflects the same leadership, communication, and team-first mindset that defined her collegiate career.
Hite Tsolis' Hall of Fame selection recognizes not only her record-breaking performance and championship pedigree, but also the lasting impact she has made on Meredith College and the broader USA South community.
These honorees, along with the future 2027 class, will be formally recognized by the USA South during a ceremony anticipated for summer 2027.
