Supernovas Head to Dallas for Regular Season Finale

Published on April 30, 2026 under Major League Volleyball (MLV)
Omaha Supernovas News Release

OMAHA, Neb. - The Omaha Supernovas, the world's leading professional volleyball franchise, will close out its 2026 regular season by visiting the upcoming MLV Championship site with a battle against the Dallas Pulse on Friday, May 1, at 7 p.m. CDT.

The Supernovas are peaking at the right time entering Friday's regular-season finale, having won three straight matches, including last week's 3-1 victory over the Columbus Fury to secure Omaha's third consecutive postseason appearance. With all four teams locked in for the MLV Championship at the Comerica Center on May 7 and 9, the only remaining question is semifinal seeding.

For the Supernovas, a win Friday would put them in a strong position to earn the No. 3 seed, as they hold the advantage in most tiebreakers over San Diego. However, a loss combined with a Mojo win would keep San Diego in the No. 3 spot and leave Omaha as the No. 4 seed.

Friday's match will be streamed exclusively on Victory+, with fans also able to listen live on the Supernovas Radio Network, led by flagship station KCRO 660 AM.

Tickets for the 2026 MLV Championship, set for Comerica Center in Frisco, Texas, are on sale via the MLV Ticketmaster website. Prices start at $19 and provide access to both the semifinal and championship rounds. For more information, visit ProVolleyball.com.

Supernovas Latest

The Supernovas are coming off one of their most memorable matches of the season, taking down the Columbus Fury, 3-1, last Friday in the team's home finale to secure the franchise's third straight postseason appearance. The Novas were fueled by the rapid ascension of their block, which poured in a team-record and MLV season-high 21 blocks in the four-set contest. Marking their third consecutive victory, Omaha limited the Fury to a season-low .099 hitting percentage.

Outside hitter Sarah Parsons was named Player of the Match after logging 26 points on a Supernovas career-best 21 kills and a .452 hitting percentage, while adding nine digs, four blocks and one ace. Opposite Emily Londot played a key role in closing out the Fury, producing 10 points in relief, totaling seven kills, three blocks and eight digs after entering for Merritt Beason (five points). Janice Leao led the blocking effort with a match-high five stuffs, while rookie setter Brooke Mosher dished out 43 assists and 10 digs.

What's at Stake

Playoff seeding could be decided based on Friday's result. The league-leading Indy Ignite have already secured the league's regular-season title and the No. 1 seed, while the Pulse will be the No. 2 seed and host at their home venue for the MLV Championship.

The Supernovas and San Diego Mojo (14-12) are in a tight battle for the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds. With two matches remaining in the regular season, the Mojo can lock up the No. 3 seed by winning out. However, a combination of a Supernovas win and a San Diego loss would hand Omaha the No. 3 seed. Additionally, if both teams finish 14-14, the Supernovas would again jump the Mojo for the No. 3 spot.

Scouting Dallas

The first-year expansion franchise has thrived in its debut season, locking in the No. 2 postseason seed for the upcoming MLV Championship at its home venue next week. Entering Friday at 19-7, the Pulse have won two of their last three matches since sweeping the Supernovas in Omaha on April 12. That stretch includes a second consecutive sweep of the Columbus Fury before dropping a 3-1 contest to the Ignite. Dallas responded by surviving an intense five-set battle in San Diego, staging a come-from-behind victory over the Mojo.

The Pulse are led by MLV's No. 1 overall pick and MVP favorite, Mimi Colyer. The outside hitter, who starred at Wisconsin and Oregon, leads the league in points (510), points per set (5.10), kills (454) and kills per set (4.54), in what has been one of the most impressive individual seasons in MLV history. Even more notable is her .302 hitting percentage on 1,130 swings, along with 38 blocks and 18 aces.

Sofia Maldonado Diaz forms a lethal duo with Colyer. The Louisville product ranks No. 2 in MLV in points (467), points per set (4.92), kills (405) and kills per set (4.26). A native of Mexico, Maldonado Diaz is also tied for third in aces (20) and ranks among the league's top 10 with 42 blocks on the season.

Former Supernovas All-League setter and 2024 MLV champion Natalia Valentín-Anderson has orchestrated the league's most potent offense. The Puerto Rico Olympian leads MLV with 11.89 assists per set and paces all setters with 3.41 digs per set, which ranks No. 5 overall.

Middle blocker Layne Van Buskirk was enjoying an All-League-caliber season before suffering a season-ending injury, paving the way for the addition of 6-foot-7 Carter Booth. Booth, the No. 19 overall pick in the 2025 MLV Draft by the Pulse, is expected to make her debut after wrapping up her rookie season in Italy earlier this month.

ROBSON STEPS IN AS INTERIM HEAD COACH

The Omaha Supernovas announced on Tuesday the team has parted ways with Head Coach Luka Slabe and promoted Thomas Robson to interim head coach for the remainder of the 2026 season. Blake Rawlins will remain on staff as assistant coach alongside Robson.

Following the season, Robson will resume his role as assistant coach after signing an extension with the franchise through the 2028 season.

A rising figure in the sport, Robson has played an instrumental role in Omaha's on-court success over the past three seasons, highlighted by the Supernovas winning the inaugural MLV Championship in 2024 and guiding a retooled roster to the 2025 MLV Regular Season Championship.

Robson began his coaching career in the NAIA ranks at Viterbo University as an assistant. The programcompiled an 89-19 overall record across his four seasons, including two NAIA national semifinal appearances. He also helped develop nine All-Americans and three regional Players of the Year.

He later joined head coach Kelly Sheffield and the Wisconsin volleyball program as a volunteer assistant coach for the 2022 season, helping the Badgers secure their fourth consecutive Big Ten title and a 28-4 overall record. Wisconsin advanced to the NCAA Regional Final before falling in five sets to Pittsburgh.

PARSONS EARNS SECOND MLV WEEKLY AWARD

Supernovas outside hitter Sarah Parsons was named the Major League Volleyball Player of the Week for the second time this season on Tuesday, and became the first MLV player to receive the weekly award multiple times in 2026.

Parsons becomes the third Supernovas player to collect multiple MLV Player of the Week awards, joining opposite Emily Londot and former setter Natalia Valentín-Anderson. However, she is the first player in franchise history to earn multiple in the same season.

A native of Eden Prairie, Minn., Parsons continued her season-long trend of dominant play against the Columbus Fury, posting match highs with 26 points and 21 kills while finishing with a Supernovas career best .452 hitting percentage.

Parsons recorded some of her most dominant outings again Columbus, combining to total 87 points (5.8 per set) on 73 kills (4.87 per set), 41 digs (2.73 per set), 12 blocks, two aces and a .343 hitting percentage across the four matches versus the Fury in 2026.

Parsons also recorded four of the team's franchise-record 21 blocks in the four-set win over the Fury, as the Supernovas clinched their third-straight MLV postseason spot. She has recorded 13 matches with double-digit kills this season, including five of her last six outings.

BLOCK IT LIKE IT'S HOT

The Supernovas' net presence has surged, totaling 48 blocks over the last three matches. That mark sets a new franchise record for a three-match span, surpassing the previous total of 42 from April 13-23, 2024.

Omaha opened the run with 13 blocks in a sweep at Orlando on April 16, matching the franchise record for a three-set match.

The Novas raised the bar two days later with 14 blocks in a sweep of Atlanta on April 19, establishing a new three-set match record.

The stretch peaked in the latest outing, where Omaha recorded 21 blocks. That total set a new franchise single-match record, stands as the top mark in MLV this season, and secured a third straight postseason berth.

Omaha's 48 blocks across the three-match run are tied for the fourth-most in MLV history, trailing only totals posted by Grand Rapids and San Diego.

PULSE CONNECTIONS

Friday's match against Dallas features one of the most Supernovas-heavy rosters the franchise has ever faced, with four former Supernovas suiting up for the Pulse: setter Natalia Valentín-Anderson, middle blocker Kaitlyn Hord, opposite Kelsie Payne and libero Kendall White.

A franchise icon who helped build the Supernovas from the ground up, Valentín-Anderson ranks second on the team's all-time assists chart and is third in most sets played. She helped lead the Novas to the inaugural 2024 MLV Championship and lives in Omaha during the offseason.

White was also part of Omaha's 2024 title team and ranks sixth in franchise history with 310 career digs. She originally signed with Vegas for 2025, but missed the season due to injury before joining Dallas.

Hord played for the Supernovas in 2025 and set a single-season franchise record with 82 blocks. She remains the all-time franchise leader with 83 career blocks.

Payne joined Hord and Valentín-Anderson on the 2025 squad that captured the MLV regular-season crown, totaling 203 points (eighth) and 162 kills (sixth) in her lone season with the Novas.

Oregon Reunion: Novas OH Brooke Nuneviller takes on former Oregon teammates Karson Bacon and Mimi Colyer. All three played together in 2022 while Bacon and Nuneviller were teammates for the four previous seasons (2018-2021).

Pulse outside hitter played with Supernovas middle blocker Janice Leao in Columbus for the 2025 MLV season.

Dallas backup setter Celia Cullen shared time as teammates with Omaha's Leyla Blackwell in San Diego for the 2025 season.

Isabel Martin and Kylie Murr each spent the 2025 MLV season with Novas setter Sydney Hilley in Indy as the three helped the Ignite reach the MLV Championship match versus Orlando.

Plus, Murr was teammates with Supernovas opposite Emily Londot at Ohio State from 2020-2022.

CAN YOU DIG IT?

For Supernovas libero Elena Oglivie - yes, she can. Acquired in a blockbuster trade with Grand Rapids on Feb. 13, Oglivie has thrived since arriving in Omaha.

Her latest outing ranks among the best in league history: 32 digs in a four-set win at Atlanta on April 2.

The total is the most ever in a MLV four-set match and ties the league single-match record, matching Orlando's Georgia Murphy.

It also sets a new Supernovas franchise record, while her 12 digs in the fourth set mark a new single-set team record.

The Stanford product has turned in six 20+ dig performances in 2026 and five of those have come with the Supernovas.

During her recent surge, Oglivie now leads the league in digs per set (4.07) and is the only libero above 4.0.

MLV Championship *All Times are Central & Subject to Change A record-setting block party sent the Omaha Supernovas back to the postseason.

The Supernovas (14-13) rode a franchise-best 21 blocks to a 25-21, 23-25, 25-18, 25-20 victory over the Columbus Fury (5-20) on Kiewit Court at the CHI Health Center in front of 11,035 fans, clinching their third straight playoff appearance.

With a third consecutive win, the Novas' blocking total marked a new MLV season high, resulting in Omaha holding the Fury to an opponent season-low .099 hitting percentage.

"I mean, what a relief. To be thrown into this position was a lot of pressure, but we wanted it so bad for the players," interim head coach Thomas Robson said.

"Coming to my first presser and then dropping the first match and then the second match, but not for one second did this team question the trajectory we were on. They trusted each other, they trusted the training, and that showed tonight."

Omaha's three postseason appearances are the most in league history, and the Supernovas are now the lone remaining franchise from the original seven MLV teams to qualify for the playoffs in all three seasons.

The Supernovas will make their third straight playoff appearance in the MLV semifinals on Thursday, May 7, at Comerica Center in Frisco, Texas.

The Omaha Supernovas have announced an expanded partnership with Kiewit for the 2026 season, strengthening a growing collaboration with one of North America's largest and most respected construction and engineering firms.

The signature Kiewit Court will return to the CHI Health Center, featuring the company's iconic branding emblazoned on Omaha's Taraflex performance court. The logos made their first appearance on the FS1 nationally televised match on Satur- day, March 22, 2025, between the Supernovas and Indy Ignite, in which Omaha welcomed 12,929, marking the second-largest crowd in professional volleyball history.

As part of the enhanced partnership, Kiewit's distinctive branding will be showcased on the Supernovas jersey with the CHI Health Center also hosting Kiewit Night for a 2026 home match. The Kiewit-Supernovas strategic partnership will also in- clude a variety of local and national marketing and community activations, featuring prominent branding during matches, on TV, the web and radio to support recruiting, business develop- ment and other key stakeholder outreach.

"Kiewit is excited to expand our strategic partnership with the Supernovas and support the growth of women's volleyball in Omaha and across the U.S.," said Alicia Edsen, senior vice president, Kiewit Corporation.

"Building on the momentum of being Kiewit's first collaboration in professional women's sports makes this next chapter especially exciting. Having Kiewit Court as the stage for our matches enhances the major-league energy our athletes bring, and our fans feel every time we compete. Together, we're advancing the foundation for women's pro volleyball in Omaha, across Nebraska, and throughout the country while creating an environment where athletes, fans, and our entire community cannot only thrive, but dream bigger together."

CHI Health Center Construction

Built for $291 million and finished in the fall of 2003, CHI Health Center Omaha is a key element in the continued renovation and development of Omaha's riverfront. The facility formerly known as Qwest Center Omaha (2003-11) and Cen- turyLink Center Omaha (2011-18) is located on a 421-acre site of the former Union Pacific Railroad yards.

In 2018, CHI Health agreed to pay $23.6 million over 20 years for the naming rights to the arena. Among the amenities at CHI Health Center Omaha are seven locker rooms, five dressing rooms and a media interview room. In the sum- mer of 2023, a lighting upgrade project was completed. CHI Health Center Omaha also provides more than 194,000 square feet of exhibition space.

Funding for CHI Health Center Omaha came from private donations, taxes and projected revenue from the facility. The facility has hosted some of America's top sporting events, including the NCAA Men's Basketball Championships (2008, 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2024), NCAA Volleyball Championships (2006, 2008, 2015, 2020 and 2022), U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Swimming (2008, 2012, 2016 and 2021), NCAA Wrestling Finals (2010), the U.S. Figure Skating Championships (2013) as well as four title fights for boxing champion Terence Crawford.

New Scoreboard and LED Displays at CHI Health Center Omaha

MECA is excited to debut CHI Health Center's brand-new, state-of-the-art scoreboard and other new LED displays ahead of the 2025 fall sports season. The new center-hung scoreboard features over 34.8 million pixels, over ten times as many as the old scoreboard, and 2,344 square feet of wraparound video display, including four underbelly displays for those sitting closer to the action.

Other technology refreshes inside the arena include enhanced ribbon dis- plays on each side of the arena, four vomitory displays mounted above each of the entrances to the seating bowl, 16 new courtside scorers' table LED displays, and an end wall video display at the south end of the arena. The CHI Health Center's exterior displays were also included in the upgrades. The marquee display at 10th Street and Capitol Ave, and six parking displays, were upgraded as well. This $6.5 million improvement keeps the CHI Health Center as one of the best indoor sport- ing venues in Nebraska and the Midwest, regularly hosting NCAA men's basketball and volleyball national championships.

The new LED displays made their debut during the Nebraska vs. Creighton volleyball match on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

PARSONS EARNS SECOND MLV WEEKLY AWARD -¢ Supernovas outside hitter Sarah Parsons was named the Major League Volleyball Player of the Week for the second time this season on Tuesday, and became the first MLV player to receive the weekly award multiple times in 2026.

-¢ Parsons becomes the third Supernovas player to collect multiple MLV Player of the Week awards, joining opposite Emily Londot and former setter Natalia ValentÃ-n-Anderson. However, she is the first player in franchise history to earn multiple in the same season.

-¢ A native of Eden Prairie, Minn., Parsons continued her season-long trend of dominant play against the Columbus Fury, posting match highs with 26 points and 21 kills while finishing with a Supernovas career best .452 hitting percentage.

-¢ Parsons recorded some of her most dominant outings again Columbus, combining to total 87 points (5.8 per set) on 73 kills (4.87 per set), 41 digs (2.73 per set), 12 blocks, two aces and a .343 hitting percentage across the four matches versus the Fury in 2026.

-¢ Parsons also recorded four of the team's franchise-record 21 blocks in the four-set win over the Fury, as the Supernovas clinched their third-straight MLV postseason spot. She has recorded 13 matches with double-digit kills this season, including five of her last six outings.

BLOCK IT LIKE IT'S HOT -¢ The Supernovas' net presence has surged, totaling 48 blocks over the last three matches. That mark sets a new franchise record for a three-match span, surpassing the previous total of 42 from April 13-23, 2024.

-¢ Omaha opened the run with 13 blocks in a sweep at Orlando on April 16, matching the franchise record for a three-set match.

-¢ The Novas raised the bar two days later with 14 blocks in a sweep of Atlanta on April 19, establishing a new three-set match record.

-¢ The stretch peaked in the latest outing, where Omaha recorded 21 blocks. That total set a new franchise single- match record, stands as the top mark in MLV this season, and secured a third straight postseason berth.

-¢ Omaha's 48 blocks across the three-match run are tied for the fourth-most in MLV history, trailing only totals posted by Grand Rapids and San Diego.

CAN YOU DIG IT? -¢ For Supernovas libero Elena Oglivie -- yes, she can. Acquired in a blockbuster trade with Grand Rapids on Feb. 13, Oglivie has thrived since arriving in Omaha.

-¢ One of her latest outings ranks among the best in league history: 32 digs in a four-set win at Atlanta on April 2.

-¢ The total is the most ever in a MLV four-set match and ties the league single- match record, matching Orlando's Georgia Murphy.

-¢ It also sets a new Supernovas franchise record, while her 12 digs in the fourth set mark a new single-set team record.

-¢ The Stanford product has produced six 20+ dig performances in 2026 and five of them have come with the Supernovas.

-¢ During her recent surge, Oglivie now leads the league in digs per set (4.07) and is the only libero above 4.0.

46 San Diego April 20 - 26 2024 OMAHA SUPERNOVAS ANNOUNCE HEAD COACHING CHANGE OMAHA, Neb. -- The Omaha Supernovas announced that the team has parted ways with Head Coach Luka Slabe and promoted Thomas Robson to interim head coach for the remainder of the 2026 season. Blake Rawlins will remain on staff as assistant coach alongside Robson.

Following the season, Robson will resume his role as assistant coach after signing an extension with the franchise through the 2028 season.

"These decisions are never easy, but we felt a change was needed at this time to align with the expectations and direction of our organization," Supernovas Co-Owner Kirk Thompson said. "We appreciate Luka's contributions and wish him the best moving forward. As part of this franchise from the beginning, we have full confidence in Thomas as he steps in as interim head coach with a focus on reaching the MLV Championship in Dallas."

"Thomas has been a big part of what we've built here, and we have full belief in him stepping into this role," General Manager & Co-Owner John Cook said. "Seeing firsthand the way he works with this group has been impressive, and he embodies what the Supernovas culture is all about. He understands this team, has their trust, and brings a presence that fits exactly what we need right now. We're confident in him leading this team, and we're excited to have him continue as a key part of our staff moving forward."

FAMILIAR FACES -¢ Reigning MLV Outside Hitter of the Year Brooke Nuneviller returns to Omaha as a two-time All-League First Team pick after ranking second in MLV in kills per set (3.77), fourth in kills (381) and sixth in both total digs (348) and digs per set (3.45).

-¢ The 2024 MLV Rookie of the Year, Reagan Cooper remains with the Novas for a second-straight season after collecting 265 kills (9th in MLV) and 3.49 kills per set (6th) in 2025.Hard-swinging opposite Emily Londot tallied 2.78 kills and 2.17 digs per set across 46 sets in her rookie campaign after getting drafted at No. 10 overall in the second round by the Supernovas.

-¢ Allison Holder will be one of the best backup liberos in MLV this season.

She became Omaha's starter in the last five matches of 2025, finishing with 1.70 digs per set.

-¢ Similar to Holder, middle blocker Toyosi Onabanjo came alive in the back half of her rookie season, recording 26 of her 33 season kills in the season's final three matches, including 11 kills and two blocks in the semifinal loss to Indy.

-¢ FInally, 2025 MLV Setter of the Year Sydney Hilley re-signed with the Supernovas after spending one season with the Indy Ignite -- where she led the franchise to a MLV Runner-Up finish in their first season. She was a part-time starter with Omaha in the 2024 regular season before sparking the Supernovas' inaugural MLV Championship run to earn postseason MVP honors.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE NEBRASKA -¢ Omaha has always focused on homegrown talent in its roster building and that didn't change in 2026 with a franchise-record six players having Nebraska connections.

-¢ Opposite Merritt Beason was one of the Supernovas' biggest signings in the free agency period. Before spending her rookie season in Atlanta as the No. 1 overall pick in the MLV Draft, Beason was an All-American for Nebraska, spending 2023 and 2024 in Lincoln.

-¢ Middle blocker Leyla Blackwell became best friends with Beason in their senior season in Lincoln in 2024. The San Diego native became a fourth-round pick of her hometown Mojo where she spent her rookie campaign before returning to Nebraska.

-¢ Outside Hitter Norah (Sis) TeBrake has a similar pedigree, tallying two All-America honors in four years at Creighton before becoming the No. 3 overall pick by Orlando where she would help the Valkyries win the 2025 MLV Championship.

-¢ Holder and middle blocker Elise Goetzinger share roots in Omaha as each spent their final college seasons at Creighton. Holder helped the Bluejays to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2022 while Goetzinger aided CU to an NCAA Regional Final -- the best postseason finish in school history.

-¢ The Supernovas dipped back into the Creighton pipeline for the second- straight year, taking Bluejay All-American middle blocker Kiara Reinhardt

at No. 8 overall in the first round.
