Omaha Supernovas

OMAHA, Neb. - The Omaha Supernovas have officially secured a spot in the inaugural Pro Volleyball Federation Championship. With the Columbus Fury losing to the Atlanta Vibe Thursday night, Omaha is guaranteed to finish inside the top four in the league standings. The landmark championship is scheduled to take place on May 15 and May 18 at the home of the Supernovas, the CHI Health Center in downtown Omaha.  

The Supernovas become the second of four teams set to battle it out for the Pro Volleyball Federation crown. The Atlanta Vibe was the first team to clinch on April 15. Omaha has been one of the top teams in the league over the entire season, as it sits in second place behind Atlanta with a record of 13-7 with four matches left go in the regular season. The Supernovas have regularly been in the top two, not dropping below second in the standings since the first few weeks of the year. 

The Supernovas are also in a good position to lock in the No. 2 seed for the championship. Omaha needs to win two more matches or have the San Diego Mojo (9-10) reach 12 losses to secure the regular-season runner-up spot. 

The top four teams in the league standings will advance to the championship in Omaha. The semifinals are to take place on May 15 at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. CDT. No. 1 seed Atlanta will play the four seed at 6 p.m. with the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds competing in the 8:30 p.m. slot. 

The two winning teams from the semifinals will advance to the championship on Saturday, May 18 with first serve set for 3:30 p.m. CDT. 

CBS Sports Network will televise each match.  

All-session tickets are now available for the championships and can be purchased via this link.
