WHY JONES CHOSE SANTA CLARA: “I chose Santa Clara because it is everything I had hoped for in a college. It’s a small, private, Jesuit university with excellent academics, a strong Division I Volleyball program, a beautiful campus, great weather and a fantastic location in California. When I visited Santa Clara for the first time, I felt perfectly at home with the students on campus. Most importantly, I chose Santa Clara because of the coaches and girls in the volleyball program. I was extremely impressed with the coaches, and all the girls on the team were kind and welcoming. I love the fact that the players and coaches have a great relationship with each other and everyone works together to achieve their goals.  I also appreciate that the coaches really care about each and every player and are always looking for ways to help the team improve. I am so excited to have the privilege to spend the next four years being a part of such an incredible team and school.”

HEAD COACH JON WALLACE ON JONES: "Callie comes from a great high school winning tradition. She has a great skill set, and will step into our gym and make it better immediately."
