OMAHA, Neb.&nbsp;–&nbsp;Omaha Supernovas&nbsp;setter&nbsp;Natalia Valentín-Anderson&nbsp;extended her string of standout performances into Week Three of the Athletes Unlimited Pro Volleyball League in Arizona.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Valentín-Anderson, who helped lead Omaha to the inaugural Pro Volleyball Federation Championship in May, teamed up with former Supernova and 2024 PVF Server of the Year&nbsp;Bethania De La Cruz-Mejía&nbsp;for the second-straight week. Team De La Cruz-Meíja were fearsome once again, recording a 2-1 record losing only to Team (Brittany) Abercrombie, who has yet to lose a match in AU this season.&nbsp;

The Olympian put up 655 points across three matches by posting109 assists (12.1 A/S), 37 digs (4.1 D/S), three kills, two blocks and one ace while being a part of two team wins. Heading into Week Four, Valentín-Anderson ranks sixth with 1,898 points being the only setter inside the top ten.&nbsp;&nbsp;

There’s no debate that Valentín-Anderson is the best performing setter in AU this season, leading the league in assists (322) by 68 over former Supernova and teammate&nbsp;Sydney Hilley&nbsp;(254). She’s also the AU leader in assists per set with 11.5 with Hilley coming closest at 9.77. Among setters, Valentín-Anderson is first in digs (114) and digs per set (4.07) while being tied for first in kills (12) and second in both aces (4) and blocks (7).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kelsie Payne&nbsp;starred at opposite for Team (Dani) Drews and racked up 285 points with 21 kills, 17 digs and four blocks. 2024 Supernovas team captain&nbsp;Brooke Nuneviller&nbsp;was balanced on the stat sheet once again with 29 kills and 28 digs across three matches. That also includes three assists, one block and one ace. Nuneviller ranks fourth overall in kills per set (3.79) and leads every attacker with 3.61 digs per set.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Supernovas middle blocker and former Nebraska Volleyball player&nbsp;Kayla Caffey&nbsp;played in only seven sets limiting her numbers to 10 kills, three blocks, two aces and one dig. She’s third in AU with 22 blocks while being extremely effective from the service line with six aces, which is third overall and first among middle blockers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Supernovas assistant coach&nbsp;Thomas Robson&nbsp;was the facilitator for Team Drews during Week Three and will shift to Team (Morgan) Hentz for Week Four.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The competing Supernovas are once again spread across two teams with Nuneviller joining undefeated Team Abercrombie after being selected with her first pick. Caffey will join her future Omaha teammate while Robson will work with Valentín-Anderson and Payne on Team Hentz. For Valentín-Anderson, this is the first time in the AU season that she will be on the same team as one of her fellow Supernovas.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Week Four action begins on Friday, Oct. 25 with Team Hentz taking on Team De La Cruz-Mejía at 6 p.m. CT.

Supernovas’ Valentín-Anderson stays dominant in Week Three of Athletes Unlimited, Ranks Sixth heading into Week Four 

Kearney, Neb. –&nbsp;The now sixth-ranked Nebraska Kearney volleyball team served up a season-high 10 aces and got kills from 12 different players to sweep Sterling College (<a target="_blank" href="https://lopers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/stats/2024/sterling-college-kan-/boxscore/7968">-11, -13, -11</a>) Wednesday night at the Health &amp; Sports Center.

Beginning a four-match homestand,&nbsp;the Lopers (21-1) face travel partner Fort Hays State (10-8) Friday night and then get the weekend off.

This was a countable match for the Warriors (12-11) who hail from Sterling, Kan. They used 16 different players with seven having a kill. Sterling returns to NAIA action Saturday at Evangel (Mo.).There were just five ties and three lead changes as UNK out hit SC by a .290-.000 margin. The Warriors had 21 kills and 21 errors, 17 of the unforced kind, but also dug up 45 balls.

“They played really good defense. We took some great swings…they block touched a lot of balls, they slowed balls down, we got blocked a little, they dug some hard-hit balls,” said UNK head coach&nbsp;Rick Squiers. “They came to play and had the right mentality. I’m sure they took some things away from this match and we appreciate them coming up here. It’s hard to find home matches.”

Recording its 42nd straight win over an NAIA foe, the Lopers got six kills apiece from outsides&nbsp;Carly Purdy&nbsp;(North Platte),&nbsp;Emilee Lane&nbsp;(Hays, Kan.) and&nbsp;Asha Regier&nbsp;(Newton, Kan.) and middle&nbsp;Abby Rose&nbsp;(Lindsborg, Kan.). Lane reached her tally in just eight swings (.750 pct.) with Rose at 10 attempts (.400 pct.) and providing two blocks at the net. &nbsp;“There were a couple of things we wanted to see tonight. We wanted to make sure Carly got swings on both pins and we accomplished that. I thought she handled herself well,” said Squiers.

“Rhyan (Mock)&nbsp;came in and played good volleyball for us, we need to keep getting&nbsp;Trista (Marx)&nbsp;involved so she was able to come in and do some good things.”

In the backrow, libero&nbsp;Alli Wiese&nbsp;(Mattawan, Mich.) and DS&nbsp;Addyson Mock&nbsp;(Stilwell, Kan.) had 15 kills apiece with freshman setter&nbsp;Julia Davenport&nbsp;(Papillion-LaVista) at two aces and nine assists.

“Elli (Mehlin)&nbsp;played well coming off the bench and had a nice service run. Julia did some setting as well and it’s so hard to get your backup setters any kind of game reps at all,” said Squiers.

 “Everyone was as sharp as they could be, and we didn’t make a bunch of errors.”

Libero Makenna Linden (20 digs) and outside Chloe Schmidt (eight kills, two digs, two blocks) paced the Warriors.&nbsp;&nbsp;

 </figure>Geoff ExstromOmaha SupernovasOMAHA, Neb.&nbsp;–&nbsp;Omaha Supernovas&nbsp;setter&nbsp;Natalia Valentín-Anderson&nbsp;extended her string of standout performances into Week Three of the Athletes Unlimited Pro Volleyball League in Arizona.&nbsp;&nbsp;Valentín-Anderson, who helped lead Omaha to the inaugural Pro Volleyball Federation Championship in May, teamed up with former Supernova and 2024 PVF Server of the Year&nbsp;Bethania De La Cruz-Mejía&nbsp;for the second-straight week. Team De La Cruz-Meíja were fearsome once again, recording a 2-1 record losing only to Team (Brittany) Abercrombie, who has yet to lose a match in AU this season.&nbsp;The Olympian put up 655 points across three matches by posting109 assists (12.1 A/S), 37 digs (4.1 D/S), three kills, two blocks and one ace while being a part of two team wins. Heading into Week Four, Valentín-Anderson ranks sixth with 1,898 points being the only setter inside the top ten.&nbsp;&nbsp;There’s no debate that Valentín-Anderson is the best performing setter in AU this season, leading the league in assists (322) by 68 over former Supernova and teammate&nbsp;Sydney Hilley&nbsp;(254). She’s also the AU leader in assists per set with 11.5 with Hilley coming closest at 9.77. Among setters, Valentín-Anderson is first in digs (114) and digs per set (4.07) while being tied for first in kills (12) and second in both aces (4) and blocks (7).&nbsp;&nbsp;Kelsie Payne&nbsp;starred at opposite for Team (Dani) Drews and racked up 285 points with 21 kills, 17 digs and four blocks. 2024 Supernovas team captain&nbsp;Brooke Nuneviller&nbsp;was balanced on the stat sheet once again with 29 kills and 28 digs across three matches. That also includes three assists, one block and one ace. Nuneviller ranks fourth overall in kills per set (3.79) and leads every attacker with 3.61 digs per set.&nbsp;&nbsp;Supernovas middle blocker and former Nebraska Volleyball player&nbsp;Kayla Caffey&nbsp;played in only seven sets limiting her numbers to 10 kills, three blocks, two aces and one dig. She’s third in AU with 22 blocks while being extremely effective from the service line with six aces, which is third overall and first among middle blockers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Supernovas assistant coach&nbsp;Thomas Robson&nbsp;was the facilitator for Team Drews during Week Three and will shift to Team (Morgan) Hentz for Week Four.&nbsp;&nbsp;The competing Supernovas are once again spread across two teams with Nuneviller joining undefeated Team Abercrombie after being selected with her first pick. Caffey will join her future Omaha teammate while Robson will work with Valentín-Anderson and Payne on Team Hentz. For Valentín-Anderson, this is the first time in the AU season that she will be on the same team as one of her fellow Supernovas.&nbsp;&nbsp;Week Four action begins on Friday, Oct. 25 with Team Hentz taking on Team De La Cruz-Mejía at 6 p.m. CT. That will be followed with Team Abercrombie battling Team (Meketor) Member-Meneh at 8:30 p.m. CT.

A trio of former Nebraska Cornhuskers are listed on opening night rosters as the NBA season begins on Tuesday.&nbsp;&nbsp; Dalano Banton and Bryce McGowens are teammates on the Portland Trail Blazers, while Jack McVeigh is a rookie with the Houston Rockets.&nbsp; It is the fourth straight season that Nebraska has had multiple players on NBA rosters.&nbsp; While Opening Night is set for Tuesday, both Portland and Houston begin their NBA seasons on Wednesday.

Banton comes off his best season as a professional, averaging 10.3 points 3.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while splitting time with both the Boston Celtics and Portland Trailblazers. He flourished after his trade with Portland, averaging 16.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in 30 games. Banton begins his fourth NBA season after being a second-round pick in 2021. After sitting out the 2019-20 campaign, Banton played in all 27 games, including 22 starts, for the Huskers in 2020-21, averaging 9.6 points per game while leading the Huskers in both rebounding (5.9) and assists (3.9) per game. He was the first Husker since 1974 to lead NU in both rebounding and assists in the same season.&nbsp; Banton posted the second triple-double in school history with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in just 21 minutes against Doane and totaled 14 games in double figures.

McGowens begins his third NBA season, as he is on a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers after signing with the organization over the summer. McGowens spent the first two years with the Charlotte Hornets, playing in 105 career games and averaging 5.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.&nbsp; McGowens was the No. 40 overall pick in 2022, the highest drafted Husker since 1998.&nbsp; At Nebraska, he was a third-team All-Big Ten performer as a freshman in 2021-22, averaging a team-high 16.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. An eight-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week, McGowens had 11 games with 20-or-more points, including a season-high 29 points against both Sam Houston and Rutgers.

McVeigh is with the Houston Rockets after signing a two-way contract prior to the 2024 Paris Olympics. He played in a pair of preseason games for the Rockets, averaging 7.5 ppg on 60 percent shooting and 3.0 rebounds per game.&nbsp; This is his rookie season after he played professionally in Australia and Germany, and he will become the 16th Husker to play in the NBA when he makes his debut.&nbsp; McVeigh comes off a strong performance in the 2024 Olympics, averaging 9.5 points per game on 52 percent shooting, including 10-of-19 (.526) from 3-point range. McVeigh played three seasons at Nebraska before returning home to begin his professional career. His best year was in 2016-17, when he averaged 7.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in 30 games, including 11 starts. He was a member of the Huskers’ 2017-18 team that won 23 games, including a school record 13 conference games.

In addition to the three former Husker players in the NBA, Tyronn Lue begins his fifth season as head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers. Lue, who played at Nebraska from 1996-98, has guided the Clippers to a184-134 record and three postseason appearances in his four seasons.

Three Huskers on Opening Night rosters

Story by NPCC Athletic Communications

North Platte, Neb. – Knights wrapped up Nebraska Community College Athletic Conference action with a four-set loss to McCook Community College on Tuesday night.

Jaelyn Dicke led the way with 13 kills, 17 digs and two assisted blocks. Zoe Maher added eight kills to accompany her 10 digs and two assisted blocks.

A 3-0 rally propelled the Indians to a 7-4 lead in the opening set. North Platte surged back to retake the lead on a net violation, 9-8. The lead would change hands three more times throughout the course of the first set. Back-to-back attacking errors evened the match at 23, before two straight points secured the set for the road team.

North Platte leapt out to a 14-1 lead in the second set after a block from Nya Lual. Knights continued to dominate the set until a late 9-1 run pulled the Indians back within three, 23-20. The black and gold went back to work and closed the set out with kills from Maher and Dicke.

Nebraska was on the offensive attack early, as Sarah Weber tallied the opening two shots of the game, but it was Washington that recorded the first finish for either team. In the seventh minute, Ioanna Papatheodorou scored off assists from Samiah Shell and Kelsey Branson.

Going into the half, the Huskers held the lead in shots (14-7) and corners (4-0), while the Huskies tallied one more shot on goal (4-3).

Huskers fall to Washington, 2-0 

By: Paxton Ritchie CSC Sports Information Director

CHADRON, Neb. – Four interceptions on four consecutive passes for the Eagle defense, including two returned for touchdowns, kickstarted a 24-point third quarter as the Chadron State football team put on a show for its homecoming crowd with a 55-13 win over Fort Lewis at Elliott Field at Don Beebe Stadium in Chadron.

The win propels the Eagles' 2024 record up to 3-4 overall and 2-3 in the RMAC. Fort Lewis fell to 1-6 overall and 0-5 in RMAC play. In addition, Chadron State football improved its record on homecoming to 19-5 since the year 2000.

Safeties Dax Yeradi and Tucker Peterson each recorded pick-sixes as the Eagle defense overwhelmed the Grizzlies with four picks and 24 points in the span of five minutes of game time, turning a 24-0 halftime advantage into a 48-3 lead after three quarters.

Peterson also had a second interception, which he returned to the Fort Lewis seven-yard-line to set up a rushing score, while linebacker Xavier Harrell also came away with a pick.

Quarterback DJ Ralph threw for 157 yards while completing 12 of 21 attempts for a touchdown. Ralph also rushed for 44 net yards and a score on the ground, one of four rushing touchdowns for the Eagles on the day.

Jake Marschall had a pair of rushing touchdowns, from eight and three yards out, while freshman running back and Sargent, Nebraska native Quincey Ryker electrified the crowd in the second half with a 72-yard touchdown on his first college carry.

Both teams punted on their first possession of the game, but Chadron State found the end zone on their second. Ralph found Jamahd Monroe twice, once for 23 yards and once on a flea flicker deep down the middle for 42 yards, setting up a Ralph rushing touchdown from four yards out as the home team led 7-0 after one quarter of play.

In the second quarter, a 12-yard Dax Yeradi punt return gave Chadron State possession at the Fort Lewis 24-yard line to start their drive. A Ralph scramble picked up a first down before Jake Marschall punched it in on third-and-goal for an eight-yard touchdown to make it 14-0.

The Eagles' next drive stalled, but Wilson Yee nailed a 55-yard field goal to make it 17-0. The kick was Yee's second-longest of the season behind a 57-yarder he had earlier this year at Colorado Mesa.

Chadron State found paydirt again just before halftime, when Ralph found a wide-open Tommy Thomas in the end zone from eight yards out with 27 seconds left to give the Eagles a 24-0 lead heading into the locker room.

Fort Lewis got on the board early in the second half with a field goal, but midway through the third quarter came the avalanche. Fort Lewis, playing with a rotating cast of quarterbacks due to an injury to season-long start Stone Walker, began to press and Chadron State's ball-hawking secondary made play after play.

Yeradi sniffed out a screen pass, jumping the route and breaking away untouched for a 51-yard interception return TD to make it 31-3. It was Yeradi's third interception of the season, tying him for second in the RMAC in that category.

On FLC quarterback Jacob Morris's very next pass, Tucker Peterson stepped in front of a crossing route over the middle, catching it at the Skyhawks 45 and running it all the way down to the 7-yard-line before being caught from behind. Chadron State wasted little time cashing in, handing it to Jake Marschall twice, with the sophomore's second carry turning into a 3-yard touchdown run.

Lightning struck again, with Morris's very next pass intercepted by Xavier Harrell at the Fort Lewis 31. The Skyhawks defense held, with Yee kicking a 37-yard field goal to make it 41-3.

It seemed as though Petersen's opportunity for a pick-six had come and gone after being tackled in the red zone just four minutes before, but he would have a chance at redemption. Fort Lewis changed quarterbacks, but couldn't change the outcome, as Sam Jones's first pass found the arms of Peterson. This time, the sophomore safety would not be caught, running it back 30 yards for another Chadron State TD to make it 48-3.

Turnovers were a theme of the game. In addition to FLC's four interceptions, both teams lost one fumble each. Chadron State fumbled two more times in the fourth quarter, but were fortunate to recover both to keep the Eagles at just one turnover on the day.

Chadron State was able to empty the bench for much of the fourth quarter. Quarterbacks Miguel Larios and Kasey Jones saw garbage time action, with Jones making his collegiate debut.

Quincey Ryker, a true freshman running back out of Sargent, had a dream start to his college career with a 72-yard touchdown on his first carry to cap CSC's scoring, breaking one tackle and racing down the near sideline. Ryker finished with two carries for 80 yards.

Jamahd Monroe was CSC's leading receiver with four catches for 85 yards. Tommy Thomas also had four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. Jake Marschall finished with 87 net rushing yards and two TD's on the ground.

Defensively, Reed Henkel led the Eagles with eight tackles while Liam Blaser had seven. Linebacker Logan O'Brien had a sack and 3.5 tackles for loss.

Ralph found Jamahd Monroe twice, once for 23 yards and once on a flea flicker deep down the middle for 42 yards, setting up a Ralph rushing touchdown from four yards out as the home team led 7-0 after one quarter of play.In the second quarter, a 12-yard Dax Yeradi punt return gave Chadron State possession at the Fort Lewis 24-yard line to start their drive. A Ralph scramble picked up a first down before Jake Marschall punched it in on third-and-goal for an eight-yard touchdown to make it 14-0.The Eagles' next drive stalled, but Wilson Yee nailed a 55-yard field goal to make it 17-0. The kick was Yee's second-longest of the season behind a 57-yarder he had earlier this year at Colorado Mesa.Chadron State found paydirt again just before halftime, when Ralph found a wide-open Tommy Thomas in the end zone from eight yards out with 27 seconds left to give the Eagles a 24-0 lead heading into the locker room.Fort Lewis got on the board early in the second half with a field goal, but midway through the third quarter came the avalanche. Fort Lewis, playing with a rotating cast of quarterbacks due to an injury to season-long start Stone Walker, began to press and Chadron State's ball-hawking secondary made play after play.Yeradi sniffed out a screen pass, jumping the route and breaking away untouched for a 51-yard interception return TD to make it 31-3. It was Yeradi's third interception of the season, tying him for second in the RMAC in that category.On FLC quarterback Jacob Morris's very next pass, Tucker Peterson stepped in front of a crossing route over the middle, catching it at the Skyhawks 45 and running it all the way down to the 7-yard-line before being caught from behind. Chadron State wasted little time cashing in, handing it to Jake Marschall twice, with the sophomore's second carry turning into a 3-yard touchdown run.Lightning struck again, with Morris's very next pass intercepted by Xavier Harrell at the Fort Lewis 31. The Skyhawks defense held, with Yee kicking a 37-yard field goal to make it 41-3.It seemed as though Petersen's opportunity for a pick-six had come and gone after being tackled in the red zone just four minutes before, but he would have a chance at redemption. Fort Lewis changed quarterbacks, but couldn't change the outcome, as Sam Jones's first pass found the arms of Peterson. This time, the sophomore safety would not be caught, running it back 30 yards for another Chadron State TD to make it 48-3.Turnovers were a theme of the game. In addition to FLC's four interceptions, both teams lost one fumble each. Chadron State fumbled two more times in the fourth quarter, but were fortunate to recover both to keep the Eagles at just one turnover on the day.Chadron State was able to empty the bench for much of the fourth quarter. Quarterbacks Miguel Larios and Kasey Jones saw garbage time action, with Jones making his collegiate debut.Quincey Ryker, a true freshman running back out of Sargent, had a dream start to his college career with a 72-yard touchdown on his first carry to cap CSC's scoring, breaking one tackle and racing down the near sideline. Ryker finished with two carries for 80 yards.Jamahd Monroe was CSC's leading receiver with four catches for 85 yards. Tommy Thomas also had four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown. Jake Marschall finished with 87 net rushing yards and two TD's on the ground.Defensively, Reed Henkel led the Eagles with eight tackles while Liam Blaser had seven. Linebacker Logan O'Brien had a sack and 3.5 tackles for loss.

Knights fall in Region IX regular season finale to Raiders

Volleyball - McCook @ NPHS Bulldogs

OMAHA, Neb.&nbsp;– The&nbsp;Omaha Supernovas, Nebraska’s professional volleyball team and first Pro Volleyball Champions, set their sights on the&nbsp;Pro Volleyball Federation Draft&nbsp;which is to be held on Monday, November 25 starting at 11 a.m. CDT.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The PVF Draft will take place over five rounds with each team having one selection per round. However, the Supernovas are one of only two teams to have more than five selections as Omaha acquired San Diego’s second round pick last year in exchange for outside hitter Lindsey Vander Weide.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Supernovas will have four picks in the top 20 starting with the final pick of the first round at No. 8 overall. Omaha will follow up with two picks in the second round at No. 10 and No. 15 overall. The Supernovas will select third in the third round at No. 19, sixth in round four at No. 30 and fifth in round five at No. 37.&nbsp;

“The coaches and league officials thought it was important for us to hold the draft prior to the start of training camp,” noted&nbsp;Laura “Bird” Kuhn,&nbsp;head coach of the 2024 PVF Champion Omaha Supernovas. “The timing of our draft will allow college draftees the ability to focus their attention on the postseason, as well as potentially attend training camp and be positioned for success when they complete their collegiate season.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

PVF’s eighth and newest franchise, the Indy Ignite, was awarded the No. 1 overall pick before a lottery determined picks two through four. The remainder of the first round was set based on the 2024 postseason finish, which was won by the Supernovas in a straight-set sweep over the Grand Rapids Rise on May 18, 2024, at the&nbsp;CHI Health Center.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A separate lottery was used for every round two through five to set the draft order, which was held on October 15. The Supernovas, along with each team, will draft from local markets with real-time updates, plus video highlights of picks available after the draft’s conclusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;
