It's official: San Diego Mojo just unleashed their triple threat on the 2026 MLV All-Star scene. This isn't just a name-drop, folks. This is a statement. Shara Venegas, Marlie Monserez, and Marin Grote are about to set Addition Financial Arena on fire.
Venegas: Defensive Queen
If you don't know Shara Venegas by now, you're not paying attention. The libero's been playing like she's got something to prove — and damn, she's proving it. Leading Major League Volleyball with 3.9 digs per set and snatching the third spot in total digs with 246, Venegas isn't just part of the defense; she IS the defense. She's the second player ever to hit 1,000 career MLV digs, and the first to do it all with one team. Legendary? Yeah, I'd say so.
Monserez: Setter Extraordinaire
Marlie Monserez is the kind of setter who makes you rethink the entire position. With 640 total assists and sixth in assists per set at 10.00, she's slinging the ball with precision that could split atoms. And let's not forget her defense — seventh in total digs with 196. Monserez is a walking double-double machine, just one shy of the Mojo's single-season record. Her .436 hitting percentage isn't just good; it's obscene. “It's been an incredible season so far,” she said, humble as ever, but we see you, Marlie.
Grote: The Middle's Secret Weapon
Marin Grote is the unsung hero of the Mojo's attack. She’s tied for eighth in total blocks with 27 and blocks per set at 0.48. Oh, and her service game? Tied for eighth in service aces with 11. Grote is quietly putting up numbers that scream 'elite'. She's the balance and backbone of the Mojo's midseason surge.
March 28 is the date, Orlando is the place, and if you miss the 2026 Major League Volleyball All-Star Match, you're missing history. Mojo's got the Dallas Pulse to face first on March 21, but let's be real, they're already living rent-free in every MLV team's head.
Prediction: Venegas, Monserez, and Grote aren't just attending the All-Star game; they're about to own it.
