Roanoke, Va. – The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) released their 2026 Women's Basketball All-ODAC. For the first time since 1988, Hollins would place two players on the All-ODAC teams. Junior guard Zaria Holden and first-year forward Jacorra Russell were each named All-ODAC.

This marks the second consecutive season that Hollins was represented on one of the three all-conference teams. After Cabria Mutz '25 was named 3^rd Team last year, the 25-26 Hollins duo would each earn 3^rd team All-ODAC honors after the program's historic season.

Holden and Russell are a part of a Hollins team that set a program record for regular season wins (16) and tied the mark set by the 2011-12 squad with eight ODAC victories. Their sixth-place regular season finish was the highest in the ODAC era since the league expanded past its original eight women's teams.

Holden was named All-ODAC after a season that would see her lead the team in scoring with 13.4 points per game, ranked 12^th in the conference. In addition to points, the Alabama native ranked 22^nd in rebounding, 15^th in shooting percentage, 22nd in shooting percentage, 7^th in assists, 8^th in assist to turnover ratio.

In addition to being named to the 3^rd team all-conference, Russell was named the 2026 ODAC Women's Basketball Rookie of the Year. It was only the second time in ODAC history that a Hollins player earned that honor, Jasmine Green '13 won the award after her first season in 2010. Russell claimed her honors after a season that saw her second on the team in scoring with 12.2 points per contest, 15^th in the ODAC. Conference wide, Jacorra finished 11^th in rebounding, 4^th in shooting percentage, 5^th in blocked shots, and 13^th in steals.
