Jessica Cortese was an integral part of the run of dominance enjoyed by the Bullets volleyball team in the early 2000s.
A three-time All-Centennial Conference performer, she was twice named to the first team and earned Player of the Year honors as a junior in 2003. She was also a two-time all-region performer and honorable mention All-American in 2003. The outside hitter in a dynamic 1-2 punch by the Gettysburg offense, she helped the Bullets achieve four conference championships and four NCAA tournament appearances while posting a 37-3 conference record (.925 winning percentage) and a 105-34 overall record (.755).
Cortese was just the seventh player in program history to reach 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs for her career. She still ranks third all-time in Gettysburg history and fifth in conference history with 1,605 kills while her 1,339 digs is still 10th all-time for the Bullets. She also added 211 career aces and 187 total blocks.
