Merced County standout gets ‘redemption opportunity’ to play college volleyball again [Merced Sun-Star (Merced, Calif.)]
Dec. 17 Jessica Pinasco was busy balancing her time working part time as a model, working at Target and attending Stanislaus State to finish her degree.
Pinasco thought her collegiate volleyball career was over. She last played in 2019 at San Diego Christian College. It was an awful season that saw the Hawks go 0-18 in conference play.
The .former Buhach Colony and Merced College star had decided to move on with her life and moved back home to Atwater.
