"Jordan is a great addition to our women's team," said Stonehill's Hall of Fame head coach Karen Boen. "She is extremely coachable and a fantastic teammate. Many times, freshmen will struggle under pressure, but Jordan has risen to the occasion in every race she has run, regardless of the level of competition. She is such a well-rounded student-athlete. I look forward to watching her continue to develop."
