Known for her defense, Jones helped Polk State pick up three shutout victories, which included a 1-0 win over Broward College to conclude the regular season. As a sophomore in 2016, Jones was recognized as a second-team All-FCSAA performer. That season, Jones tallied her only career assist and helped Polk State improve to 5-6-1 with two victories by shutout.
Jones would go on to conclude her playing career at Salem College, an NCAA Division III program in North Carolina. As a junior in 2017, Jones appeared in all 17 matches for Salem with 16 starts as the Spirits finished 13-4 and shared the USA South Conference East Division title.
