She was also the first ECU volleyball player to surpass 2,000 career assists. In recognition of her achievements, Jenny was inducted into both the East Carolina University and Anne Arundel County Halls of Fame.
Jenny’s coaching career is equally impressive. She spent over 20 years coaching at the collegiate level, including 10 seasons as head coach at Nicholls and 14 years at Central Arkansas, where she helped transform the program into a national contender. In 2023, she led UCA to a program-record 45 wins, its first ASUN regular season and tournament titles, and its first NCAA Tournament win. That same year, she was named ASUN Coach of the Year and recognized as the NCAA Mid-Major Coach of the Year. Her teams consistently ranked among the nation’s best in pitching and defense, and she developed numerous all-conference, all-region, and award-winning athletes.
