NASHVILLE – Jackie Welch, a three-year member of the Vanderbilt women’s soccer team, has officially joined the women’s basketball team for the 2018-19 season.
“We are excited to welcome Jackie to our team,” head coach Stephanie White said. “Not only has she been a part of a championship program and championship culture in soccer, but she’s a student-athlete that understands what it means to compete in the SEC. It’s not often that you find an athlete capable and willing to compete in two sports at this level, but Jackie is an exception and we are thrilled to have her.”
Welch played in all games for the Vanderbilt soccer team her final two seasons, including 18 during her sophomore season, tallying 10 total goals for the Commodores. She transferred to Vanderbilt after a year as a student at Indiana in 2015.
The senior played basketball all four seasons for New Trier (Ill.) High School and was team captain during her senior season.
The Winnetka, Illinois, native is a two-time SEC Academic Honor Roll member.
