San Diego Mojo Libero Shara Venegas Tabbed Pro Volleyball Federation Player of the Week

May 5, 2025 - Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF)
San Diego Mojo News Release


SAN DIEGO - San Diego Mojo libero Shara Venegas has been tabbed the Pro Volleyball Federation Player of the Week presented by Franklin Sports, the league office announced on Monday. Venegas guided the Mojo to back-to-back home victories to close out the 2025 campaign with victories over the Columbus Fury and playoff-bound Indy Ignite. It is the first time Venegas has received the accolade.

Venegas' week was highlighted by a standout performance in the season finale on Saturday, May 3 against the Ignite, in which she helped the Mojo rebound from a first set loss to take down Indy in four sets. She collected a career-high 26 digs in the victory, three shy of the San Diego record and the most ever for a Mojo player in a four-set match.

The feat was marked by a nine-dig effort in set two to kick off the rally and was followed by a 7-dig third set to keep the momentum going. Venegas added four assists in the win to finish averaging 6.5 digs and one assist per set in the match.

She began the week with an 11-dig, four-assist performance in leading San Diego to a sweep of Columbus on Thursday, May 1, the first sweep of the season for the Mojo. Across the two matches, Venegas had 37 digs and eight assists, averaging 5.29 digs and 1.14 assists per set over the seven frames played to help the Mojo to an unbeaten homestand.

The Puerto Rico native is the first Mojo player to earn the honor this season and fourth over the first two seasons of the league.

Venegas will receive a Kendra Scott Volleyball Pendant Necklace in white mother-of-pearl. The award is part of PVF's partnership with Kendra Scott to advance a mutually shared goal of empowering girls and young women and supporting organizations with that same mission.
