Jeff Nelson is not just another coach to seniors Cassie House and Julia Warren.
New Mexico’s head coach has had the two under his wing from a young age, even when Nelson was just getting acclimated to the community, and the chile, himself.
Nelson has played a major role in the livse of UNM’s pair of dominating outside hitters, and he has done so through their teenage years and into adulthood.
In the early stages of their high school tenures, Nelson knew he had to recruit the two local high school standouts, starting with Warren in her freshman year and followed by House as a sophomore.
