Celentano enters her third season as an assistant with the NCCU volleyball program in 2018-19. She joined the staff in July of 2016.
Celentano and head coach Jody Brown started their own volleyball club, Carolina Edge, based out of Durham, North Carolina, in August of 2017. The four-team club had great success in their first season, something they hope to continue to grow as they add teams.
Celentano graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts degree in exercise and sport science – sport administration with a minor in coaching education in 2016. She is now working on her Master’s in Physical Education from North Carolina Central and is projected to finish in 2020.
“Emma will be our first assistant,” said Brown. “She will be heading up most of the recruiting in our local area as well as working with all of our defense structures and scouting of our opponent’s defense.”
