May, a former standout outside hitter at Arkansas State, completed her four-year career having earned a major conference award every season she competed for the Red Wolves. Aside from her four First-Team All-Conference honors, May was also a three-time Sun Belt Conference (SBC) Offensive Player of the Year honoree, as well as the SBC Freshman of the Year in 2015.
Her breakout freshman season, which included a team-best 3.58 kills per set and a .300 hitting percentage - both top-10 in the league - resulted in her earning AVCA Honorable Mention All-American honors. That same year, May also helped lead her team to a 28-2 record and an undefeated, 16-0 mark in conference play. As a result, she won a school record seven SBC Freshman of the Week accolades and became the AVCA Southwest Region Freshman of the Year.
She followed her freshman campaign by helping guide A-State to another 25-win season with a 25-8 record and 15-1 conference mark as a sophomore. May was then named to the SBC All-Tournament Team after appearing in the SBC Tournament finals, where she later earned AVCA Honorable Mention Southwest Region.
By the time she finished her career, May found herself on top of the Arkansas State records book, becoming the all-time leader in kills (1,901) and kills per set (4.14). In the classroom, May was named to the A-State Dean's List, Chancellor's List, Athletic Director Honor Roll and the SBC Commissioner's List all four years of her academic career.
