[March 01, 2012]  Jennifer Parsons has taken the first step in her collegiate volleyball career by signing a letter of intent to play at Lincoln Christian University.

Parsons has been a right-side hitter for Springfield High School. In her sophomore year, she received the "most improved" award, which was followed by the "most dedicated and determined" award in her junior year. Her consistent determination and improvement led to becoming varsity team and game captain in her senior year. The Springfield High varsity volleyball team won the city championship both years that Parsons played at that level.

"I knew Lincoln Christian University was the place I wanted to further my education, the moment I stepped foot onto the campus," Parsons said. "This was not only because of the beautiful campus, but because of all the warm and kind people I met. I feel at home at LCU. I wanted to have a place that would provide a Christian outlook on whatever career I chose. Lincoln (Christian) does just that. I know and love lots of people that have graduated from this school, and I am excited to follow in their footsteps. I also look forward to being a part of such an amazing volleyball team."

The LCU volleyball team has made 16 consecutive trips to the NCCAA Division II national championships, finishing in the top four 10 times, which includes two championship titles.
