STU Tommies Welcome New Women’s Volleyball Recruit from Quispamsis, NB
Fredericton, NB - STU Tommies are excited to announce the addition of Cali Nadeau to the women’s volleyball program. Hailing from Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Cali will join the Tommies for next season.
A graduate of Rothesay High School, she has played for both her school team as well as for the Saint John Timberwolves Volleyball club. Cali has quickly developed a well-rounded game that makes her a valuable asset in both the front and backcourt. She prides herself on contributing to all aspects of play, including attacking, passing, and defense.
"I am a hardworking athlete on and off the court, a quiet leader, and bring a well-rounded game from both the front and backcourt," she shared. "I take pride in my ability to contribute in all aspects of the game."
Choosing St. Thomas University was easy for her, as she was drawn to the coaching staff, the school’s environment, and the opportunity to grow alongside current and incoming players.
"The combination of the coaching staff, the school itself, the current and incoming players, and the location made STU the perfect fit for me," she said. "I felt that this was a place where I could grow both as a player and a student."
Academically, she is currently considering programs in Psychology, Nonprofit Management, and Education. Outside of volleyball, she enjoys going to the gym and spending time with friends.
Her excitement about joining the Tommies extends to the coaching staff, whom she believes are dedicated to building a competitive program.
"From my conversations with Kim and the coaching staff, it's clear they are passionate about the program and committed to developing the team and players at a championship level. I’m excited to be part of a program with that kind of energy and can’t wait to contribute in any way I can."
A late starter in the sport, she began playing volleyball at age 15 but has quickly made an impact with her dedication and versatility.
Cali is a great all around athlete. Her intelligence, athleticism and love of the sport has enabled her to quickly develop as one of the top outside hitters in the province. She has a well developed volleyball IQ and plays with intensity - we are excited for Cali to be joining us this season!
The STU Tommies are thrilled to welcome her to the team and look forward to seeing her in action on the court this season!
