“Kendall is a tremendous addition to our program. She is an explosive athlete who can get off the floor quickly. Her athleticism, competitive spirit, and team-first mentality make her a perfect fit for Penn State Volleyball. We’re excited to see the impact she’ll make on and off the court!” – Head Coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley, November 12, 2025.
“Kendall Northern is lightning quick. There were so many times watching club where I thought she got beat by a set, and nope, she was there by the time she needed to be there. And so having quickness in the middle spot is really important to be able to close. And she’s also quick off the ground and has a quick arm. So I think she has things that you can’t train, that’ll be able to be an asset in the gym. As well as the experiences for her to have continued to grow, even since we recruited her. She was, I think, two years back in the United States — she had been living in Switzerland — and was getting her feet under her as far as the game at a high level. And we’ve seen that grow across, as she able to play in the Under Armor All Star game. And so she’s gotten recognition for that growth and that jump as well. But again, she’s so quick, and that’s just something you really can’t train terribly well. You’re either super quick or you’re not. Anybody can get a little faster, but it’s something that she definitely will bring to the table, that people will enjoy watching and be surprised about, I think, the first time they watch her play.” Assistant Coach Mike Henchy, November 25, 2025.
