“We’re thrilled to welcome Finley to the Penn State Volleyball family! She is a dynamic outside hitter who can score and brings the energy every play. Her drive, character, and love for the game align perfectly with our culture. We can’t wait to see her in blue and white.” – Head Coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley, November 12, 2025
“Finley Krystkowiak is a physical athlete — she’s a Big 10 player, for sure. Just how she’s built, she competes, she’s able to turn on another level in matches that matter more. And I think having that gear is important because you just need it. And she’ll need it more often here in college than she’s had to in her career. But I think having that ability, and having seen it, she’s an exciting player. Again, she can play six-rotation. She’s good passer, heavy arm. She’s one that I think will grow into a role pretty quickly, just through her willingness to compete and learn, as well as having a good frame to build off of.” Assistant Mike Henchy, November 25, 2025.
