The fight for playoff glory is heating up in Nebraska. LOVB Nebraska and the Omaha Supernovas are neck-and-neck, each battling to secure their spot in the postseason.
The State of Play
LOVB Nebraska, formerly known as LOVB Omaha, has undergone quite the transformation. With Jordan Larson leading the charge, this team isn't just playing for pride. They're playing for a place in history. Larson, a former Nebraska Cornhusker standout, is no stranger to high-stakes volleyball, and her leadership might just be the secret weapon LOVB Nebraska needs.
In their inaugural season back in 2025, LOVB Omaha struggled, finishing dead last with a 5-11 record. But don't let that fool you. This team bounced back to win their quarterfinal and semifinal matches in the LOVB Finals. Though they were ultimately swept by LOVB Austin, it was a sign of things to come.
The Larson Factor
Jordan Larson's influence on this squad is undeniable. Her transition from player to co-owner of the team has injected a fresh dose of ambition and drive. This isn't just a team; it's a movement, a testament to volleyball's growing popularity in the Cornhusker State.
Former Creighton Bluejays coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth is now running the business side of things, ensuring the team has everything it needs to succeed both on and off the court. With such an experienced management team, LOVB Nebraska is poised for greatness.
