Hard work and persistence have helped turn Jordan Goad into one of the top setters in the entire region. Despite battling injuries last season, Goad earned first team All-Horizon League honors for the second straight year, finishing fourth in the league in assists. She continues to develop good chemistry with her attackers and has the benefit of having a majority of them return from last season. Goad is very athletic at the net and has the ability to put the ball in spots for her attackers to terminate points. She can also be counted on to make key defensive plays, whether it be a dig or a block at the net.
