Friends, family, coaches, and teammates gathered Monday afternoon, April 27, as Christina Jackson signed a letter of intent to play volleyball for Christian Brothers University.

Her senior year she had 153 digs and 361 assists, an average of 3.2 per set. “She has an incredible work ethic,” says head coach Alyssa Hall, “and she has been an incredible leader both on and off the court for Harding’s volleyball program.” Christina is excited to join the CBU Buccaneers.
