Personal -Â Kelley Jordan Pickering... goal for the season is to improve as a player and be a positive inspiration to the team... chose USF for the dynamic location, the diversity and the challenging academics... best advice she would give is to focus all your energies on forgetting the past and look forward to what lies ahead... enjoys traveling, wake boarding and snowboarding...parents are Bruce and Brigid Pickering... born June 24, 1985 inSonoma.Â
Coach Nelson on Pickering -Â "Kelley came to us in January and won a starting position in the spring playing the libero. Her biggest strength is passing and her defense really picked up when she gained more confidence. Now she has to take it to the court in the fall and make it work when it counts."
