When Kennedy Martin announced her entrance into the transfer portal on May 1, there were few teams in the mix for the First-Team All-American hitter.
Just six days later, Martin announced her transfer to Penn State, the biggest splash in the 2025 transfer portal.
Martin showcased her talents to the Nittany Lion faithful in Penn State’s five-set thriller against Princeton, carrying the team to victory behind 29 kills.
“When you have someone that has 29 kills, you’re thanking them after the match,” coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley said.
Despite the high volume of kills, the right-side hitter started off slow, with only four kills in the opening set.
