South Dakota State University's fourth-year head volleyball coach Nicole Cirillo announced Monday that Jada Barnes will play for the Jackrabbits next season.
Â
"Jada is a great addition to our team. What makes her standout, is her defensive mindset to the game," Cirillo said. "She is a tough, hard and fearless worker, and I can't wait to see what the remainder of her career looks like as a Jackrabbit."
Â
Barnes comes to SDSU after playing two seasons at Feather River College in California. Last season, the Golden Eagles' libero anchored the team's defense with 35 service aces and 406 digs. Barnes earned Golden Valley All-Conference honors, helping the team clinch its ninth consecutive conference championship with a 10-0 record and reach the second round of the Northern California playoffs. Feather River finished the season 22-8.
Â
As a freshman, Barnes played in 28 matches and collected 122 digs. She was named to the conference honorable mention team after helping the Golden Eagles to the California Community College Athletic Association state championship Elite Eight and a 26-6 overall record.
Â
The Angels Camp, California, native was a two-time CCCAA Scholar Athlete, earned the Student Athlete Award and was named to the Dean's List.
Â
At Bret Harte High School, Barnes earned defensive player of the year and first-team all-league in 2016 and a two-time academic all-league selection. The Angels Camp, California, native helped the Bullfrogs to a 25-7 record and a spot in the California Interscholastic Federation state tournament.
