Upon graduating Terre Haute South, Clary joined the Xavier University tennis team. Clary finished her career in 2005 as the winningest female tennis player in Xavier University history.[2] She earned the Atlantic 10's Sporting Award for 2004-05 and is just the second person in conference history to garner Student-Athlete of the Year honors in an individual sport three times.
