Jenna Heller Rejoins Volleyball Program as Assistant Coach

STOCKTON, Calif. – Head Coach Greg Gibbons brought a familiar face back to the Pacific volleyball bench to fill the Assistant Coach vacancy – choosing Jenna Heller for the position, who brings four years of experience competing for Gibbons and a prolific legacy as the team’s setter.

Heller played for the Tigers from 2021-24 and is the only Tiger in program history to rank top-ten in both career digs and assists. In her final campaign, the former setter earned a spot on the WCC Honorable Mention team after compiling 1,099 assists (fifth in the conference), 342 digs and 87 kills.

She also received First Team All-WCC honors following her 2023 season.

Resulting from her standout individual play, she was a key piece of four Pacific teams that advanced to the National Invitational Volleyball Championship – highlighted by a national quarterfinal appearance in 2022.

“Jenna is a great addition to our staff. She was one of the all-time great setters at Pacific and has a tremendous amount of experience and high volleyball IQ to help us develop the next generation of Tigers. I am truly grateful Jenna has decided to join our staff and continue to help our program grow,” Gibbons said.

Before Heller donned the Orange and Black, her mother, Melanie Beckenhauer-Heller, spent four seasons at Pacific and is top-ten all-time for service aces as well as the program leader in assists.
