League One Volleyball's (LOVB; pronounced 'love') athlete roster is growing as Canadian outside hitter Vicky Savard has signed to compete in LOVB Pro's inaugural season as a member of LOVB Omaha Volleyball.
During her eight-year pro career, Vicky has played in six different countries. In 2018, she was named Best Scorer in the Finnish Cup, spurring HPK Naiset onto a Cup and League victory. A year later, she led Minis Arluy VB Logroño to a Spanish triple, winning the Spanish Liga Iberdrola, Spanish Cup and Spanish Supercup while earning Best Outside Hitter honors. She twice finished among the top three of Greece's top league, and, in 2022, made her European Champions League debut with Ukraine's SC Prometey.
A Jonquière, Quebec, native, Vicky broke onto the Canadian National Team in 2021, helping Canada take third at the NORCECA Championships. Since then, she's won another NORCECA Championship bronze medal and played in three Volleyball Nations League tournaments, the 2022 World Championships and 2024 Olympic Qualification Tournament.
