Mendelson played both volleyball and basketball at Nebraska in the 2022-23 season, where she averaged two points and 2.2 rebounds in 22 games.

During her second season with the Cornhuskers and last year with Penn State, she only played volleyball, but was a 36-game starter and national champion with the Nittany Lions in 2024.

Mendelson will join 6-foot-6 center Gracie Merkle on the Lady Lions' roster, creating a tall front court in 2025.
