ATLANTA, Ga. – The Pro Volleyball Federation’s Atlanta Vibe (17-5) will take on the Vegas Thrill (7-13) on Sunday, April 28th at Gas South Arena at 2:00 p.m., airing nationally on CBS Sports Network. Sunday’s match marks the second-to-last match of the season for the Vibe, who have already clinched the No. 1 overall seed for the Pro Volleyball Federation postseason and claimed the 2024 Regular Season Championship.
The team’s final weekend match has been designated as their first ever Faith + Family Day, beginning with a Jr. Vibe Tailgate outside on the Gas South Arena lawn featuring activations and activities for the whole family. The event is free and open to the public prior to match time.
Atlanta will host Vegas in their final meeting of the 2024 season; the Vibe are 3-0 in the series between the two teams, and they have swept the Thrill twice for a 9-1 set record against them this year. Atlanta’s offense is being driven by outside hitter Leah Edmond and Anna Lazareva, who are both averaging 4.3 kills per set.
