Endless Momentum Volleyball Club, led by head coach Christine Krempasky, has hit a major milestone in the 2025 season, becoming the first team from north of I-80 in Pennsylvania to earn a bid to USA Volleyball Nationals. The team’s remarkable journey this season reflects both the growth of the sport in Northeast PA and the high-level dedication of its athletes and coaches.
Coach Krempasky, now in her fifth season with Endless Momentum, brings a wealth of experience to the club. A former standout player at the University of Scranton, she also contributes to the local volleyball scene as an assistant coach for Abington Heights High School’s girls team. Supporting her this season is second-year assistant Maddilyn Durfee, who recently completed two seasons at Lackawanna College and is set to continue her collegiate career at Wilkes University.
This year's roster features student-athletes from multiple area schools:
-
Abington Heights: Bella Carr (8th grade), Alaina Krempasky (9th), Emily Penn (9th)
-
Scranton: Krystianna Nallo-Aniska (9th)
-
Crestwood: Kennady Korpusik (9th), Olivia Lazo (9th), Zoe Meckes (9th), Claire Savner (9th)
-
Valley View: Amelia Pulman (10th)
-
Hazleton Area: Kali Eberts (9th)
The team showcases a well-rounded lineup with Carr leading as the setter, Krempasky and Lazo playing full rotations, and a strong defensive core including Penn, Nallo-Aniska, Korpusik, and Pulman. Up front, Eberts brings power as an outside hitter, while Meckes and Savner anchor the middle as key blockers and attackers.
Since January, the team has competed in six USA Volleyball-sanctioned tournaments across cities like Allentown, York, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and even Washington, D.C. Facing off against clubs from across the country and beyond—including teams from 14 states, Puerto Rico, and Ontario—they’ve posted a competitive 21-21 record at the national level.
Their success doesn't stop there. In four AAU tournaments, the squad has dominated with an 18-2 record, with their only defeats coming from older 16U and 17U teams. Their consistent performance has placed them among the top six 15U teams in the USA Volleyball Keystone Region, out of 72 teams in Pennsylvania.
A highlight of the season came at the KRVA Champions Cup, held March 22-23 in Harrisburg. Endless Momentum went 6-1 during the tournament, earning second place and capturing the American Division Bid to the 2025 USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship. The prestigious event will be held June 25–28, 2025, in Dallas, Texas, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
This bid marks not just a team achievement but a regional first. Endless Momentum is the first team in club history—and the first Junior Girls team north of I-80 in PA—to qualify for Nationals under USA Volleyball.
A big part of their success? Serving. The team posted an impressive 88% serving accuracy at the Champions Cup, with aces accounting for a quarter of all serves—a testament to their skill and pressure performance.
For these young athletes from Northeast Pennsylvania, heading to Nationals represents a unique and unforgettable opportunity. What once seemed out of reach is now a reality, thanks to the growth of club volleyball in the region. Endless Momentum has opened new doors, and with more players gaining exposure on a national stage, the future of volleyball in NEPA looks brighter than ever.
