After pacing the Triton defense with 1.28 blocks per set – a mark that was 10th in the nation – she was tabbed to the Sunshine State Conference's All-League team in addition to being named the conference's Defensive Player of the Week in early November.
Schoening started her college career for New Mexico State, where she appeared in 18 matches – 40 sets – and totaled 30 kills while adding 68 assists. In the 2021 season, she notched 22 kills with a season-best of six at South Florida. Defensively, she totaled 33.0 blocks, six being solo efforts and had eight digs.
What Coach Behonick is saying: "Kalli is a bright spot for our program. She's determined, mature, responsible and well-traveled. You can tell she is up for any challenge and possesses a great deal of perspective, wisdom and gratitude in her life. We are excited that she will bring a lift and new dimension to our defensive and blocking strategy this fall, as that is a strength of hers. We are excited to welcome her back to her home state of Oregon to finish her career!"
