Coach Nelson on Jordin Southall… We love Jordin’s athleticism and her ability to kill the ball against big blocks in big moments. She’s a fantastic jumper with an elite arm and contact point. Her six-rotation skills continue to develop, and we have high expectations for her growth in every facet of the game. Her club and high school teams have won a lot, and winning has become her standard.

Why Vanderbilt?
