The 2026 AdventHealth MLV All-Star Match is about to make Orlando the epicenter of volleyball excitement. Addition Financial Arena is the stage. The stars of Major League Volleyball are ready to shine come noon on Saturday.
THE STAGE IS SET
This isn't just any match. It's the second annual All-Star showdown, and it's hosted by the Orlando Valkyries. Last year, we saw Dave Shondell's squad outlast Michelle Collier's team with a 58-47 aggregate score. This year? Expect even more fireworks.
Jason Siegel, the big name from the Greater Orlando Sports Commission, couldn't contain his excitement. "MLV’s growth has been extraordinary," he said. Orlando is buzzing, and the Valkyries are pumped.
VALKYRIES READY TO SHINE
The Valkyries bring the heat with Natalie Foster stepping in for the injured Lydia Martyn. Joining the charge are Teodora Pusić, Chompoo Guedpard, Kaz Brown, and Charitie Luper. This is their turf, and they plan to own it.
Sarah Ratzlaff echoed the excitement, calling Orlando a hub for women's sports. The All-Star Match is their chance to showcase what they’ve got.
A STAR-STUDDED LINEUP
Coaches Beth Launiere and Dan Meske lead the charge. Launiere, fresh off a legendary career at Utah, and Meske, steering Louisville to national prominence, are set to battle with their all-star squads.
Key players? Mimi Colyer leads the league with a whopping 327 points and 291 kills. Natalia Valentin-Anderson is the assist queen with 874. Layne Van Buskirk dominates the net with 43 blocks. And don't sleep on Marlie Monserez — she tops the charts in hitting efficiency at .406.
THE SHOWDOWN
This isn’t just a match; it’s a statement. The Orlando Valkyries and the rest of MLV’s elite are ready to put on a clinic. The All-Star Match is where legends are made. Natalie Foster has 41 service aces and counting. You could feel it coming.
And from there… it was over. Valkyries are here to make Orlando proud. Get ready for a show.
