Crushing It: On Court and in the Classroom!!!!

Whether they have a volleyball in their hands or a pen/stylus, the Kellenberg varsity volleyball team continues to excel in both areas after seizing another NSCHSGAA league title AND just recently being named recipients of the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award for the tenth consecutive year! The 2023 squad posted an undefeated league record to go along with a sensational 93.2% cumulative average for the 2023-24 school year. Their exceptional GPA also earned them a spot on the AVCA Team Academic Honor Roll for being in the top 20% in the nation!

AVCA Awards Director Alice Rogers notified Coach von Schoenermarck about this achievement, explaining, “This award honors teams who have matched their dedication to the sport of volleyball with excellence in the classroom.”

Representing the 2023 team were the following seventeen players: Alyssa Bargellini, Stella Becker, Jaclyn Bricca, Grace Canade, Sophia Chong, Amelia Felice, Alexis Gerstein, Ciara Kelleher, Julia Maniscalco, Amanda Maroney, Kennedy Mayers, Margaret McDermott, Kelly Miller, Brooke Mollica, Olivia Orphanos, Alannah Plunkett, and Bianca Sapano.

 
 
 

The Kellenberg volleyball program prides itself on competing every day, whether it be in the classroom, on the court, or in the community at large.  The opponent that we face on a daily basis is not the team on the other side of the net, but rather our own laziness or complacency, our own distractions or excuses.  If we can remain focused on maximizing our own abilities every day, we will emerge victorious in anything we do!

LOVE THE GAME
MAXIMIZE EFFORT
PLAY IN THE PRESENT
REFUSE TO SURRENDER
