OMAHA, NEB. – Omaha Supernovas setter Natalia Valentín-Anderson made the SportsCenter Top 10 highlight reel after making two diving ups against the Vegas Thrill on Monday, May 6 at Lee’s Family Forum in Vegas.
The savvy veteran made one diving save off the side court before running to the other side of the court to come up with a block touch and then make another incredible diving save to keep the point alive for Omaha. Thanks to her efforts, Supernovas opposite Stephanie Samedy slammed down a kill to win the point and give Omaha an 11-6 lead in the second set.
The Supernovas went on to cruise by the Thrill in a sweep to move to 15-7 on the season and lock up the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Pro Volleyball Federation Championship to be held in Omaha on May 15 and May 18. Single-session tickets are now available and can be purchased by pressing this link.
