JUNIOR COLLEGE: Had an outstanding freshman year at Neosho County Community College in Kansas where she earned National Junior College Athletic Association’s First Team All America honors…she also earned all-Jayhawk Conference and all-district honors and was the conference’s Freshman of the Year…she recorded 542 kills in 123 games for an average of 4.41 kills per game…Also averaged 3.67 digs per contest and totaled 451 for the year…helped her team to a 33-9 record and the division championship…team lost in the championship game of the district tournament…just one of two volleyball players to All America status at Neosho Country…has tremendous range and a is very efficient with a fast-arm swing, which fits perfectly into the faster-pace offense that LCSC coach Jen Greeny wants to run…should make an immediate impact in the program and is one of two NJCCAA All-Americans on the Warrior squad this season. 

TRANSFER TO LCSC: Is a late addition to the Warrior squad, joining the team in the final week of August…road to Lewiston has been full of twists…originally signed with Pittsburgh State University, an NCAA Division II school in Pittsburgh, PA., in 2006, but had to defer her admission to achieve PSU’s Test of English as a Foreign Language requirement, and she wound up at Neosho County…following her big 2006 season at NCCC, she again signed with Pittsburgh State University, only to discover that according to NCAA rules, she would have only one year of eligibility left….under NAIA rules, she has three years of eligibility left…. Pittsburgh State coach Ibraheem Suberu made some phone calls to coaching friends to find Clemente a good NAIA school and one of the calls went to a friend of Greeny, who recommended LCSC to Suberu…NAIA rules allow Clemente to be eligible this season at LCSC. 

PERSONAL: She is the daughter of Carlos and Ester Clemente….has one sister, Aline.
