Former Titan volleyball player Jennifer Adeva returns to Fullerton to join Carolyn Zimmerman's coaching staff after a six-year absence from Southern California.

Adeva started her collegiate coaching career at Santa Ana College in 1998 as the assistant coach of the Dons, before being named head coach a year later. After a season of guiding the Santa Ana squad, Adeva headed east for assistant jobs at Nicholls State (2000-2001), Tennessee State (2001-04), and UNC Charlotte (2004-05).

The former defensive specialist has coached at the club level including the Carolina Juniors "Slam" team, an 18-year-old national-level squad that captured the 18-Gold Div. Championship in the 2006 USA Volleyball Junior Olympics. Her team posted eight first-place finishes from 2004-05, including championships at the Asics Nationals in Chicago, the East Coast Championships at Penn State, and the Asics Big South Qualifier in Atlanta.

Adeva played in 53 career matches for the Titans from 1994-96, while receiving a redshirt for the 1995 campaign. She posted 187 career digs and 15 service aces over two seasons. Prior to that she was a two-time All-Western Conference selection (1992-93) at College of the Canyons in Valencia, Calif. She prepped at Canyon High School in Canyon Country, Calif., earning All-Golden League and All-Santa Clarita Valley honors as a letter winner for the Cowboys.

A 1997 graduate from Cal State Fullerton, Adeva earned her bachelor's degree in kinesiology before going on to obtain a master's in education from Azusa Pacific in 1999.
