Karen Heslin Nolan '98 finished her career at Saint Joseph's as one of the most decorated volleyball players to ever wear the Royal Blue. She was a dominating force at the net with the ability to hit with both power and finesse. In 1995, Nolan led Saint Joseph's College to its most successful winning season (27-10), as she recorded 231 kills and 73 blocks, 67 aces and 167 digs. For her efforts, Nolan was selected to the MAIAW All-State Team and First-Team Maine Athletic Conference. Nolan would go on to be named to each of these teams all four years of her career. In 1996 and 1997, Nolan's dominant play and individual achievements guided the team to two consecutive Maine Athletic Conference Championships, advancing to back-to-back NAIA Regionals. At the time of her induction, Nolan remains the only Saint Joseph's College volleyball player selected Honorable Mention All-American.
