During the second season of the Greek duo, they took part in the first European Games held in Baku where they managed to finish 17th in their international debut.

Consequently, Peny took part at the Continental Cup Round 1 hosted by CEV as being the second Greek team partnering Evangelia Christou this time and managed to obtain the first place, which gave the Greek national teams the opportunity to compete at the second stage of the tournament that would lead to the Olympic Games of Rio 2016.

Soon after this, she teamed up with Pigi-Anna Metheniti (with whom she played until late 2015) and a few weeks later they managed to finish 2nd in the Greek Championship behind Arvaniti/Tsiartsiani.

In April 2014, Maria Tsiartsiani returned to action after a successful surgery on the right shoulder and only a few months after she had given birth to her first child, and she teamed up with her ex-teammate Arvaniti.

In addition, on 28 July 2013 she won the Greek Championship held in Athens and she – along with Arvaniti – was the player who would represent the Greek National Team in all international competitions for the following year.

She reached her first important FIVB milestone on 14 December 2013, by obtaining the 9th position at the FIVB Beach Volleyball Durban Open for the first time in her career, this being the greatest achievement for the team since she partnered up with Vicky Arvaniti.

Moreover, during the same year, they finished 2nd in the Greek Championship, losing 2–1 to Arvaniti/Tsiartsiani at a "repeat" final as of 2014. Also, they took part in two tournaments for the Balkan Championship in Burhaniye and Thessaloniki finishing third and second respectively. Finally, she competed in the CEV Continental Cup Rounds 3 and 4 where she got the second place, getting a ticket for the finals of the competition which will be held in Stavanger, Norway in June 2016.

Karagkouni is studying Philosophy, Pedagogy and Psychology at the University of Athens since 2011.

Born in Athens, Karagkouni started playing volleyball at the age of 6 for Iraklis Kifissias, and in 2008 she got promoted to the women's first team even though she was only 15.
