Two meetings changed Jaci Jones’ perspective on her soccer career.
The first of them happened at the end of the 2016 season, Jones’ collegiate debut. A respectable return of five goals and four assists in which the Oklahoma State soccer team made the first round of the NCAA tournament set Jones up as a future starter for the Cowgirls.
Jones showed up to coach Colin Carmichael’s office for her individual end of season meeting. A native of Mustang, Oklahoma, Jones grew up watching OSU athletics whenever her father, Sean, took her and the rest of the family to Stillwater, sometimes twice a week.
