Pro Volleyball Spotlight: LOVB Atlanta Sweeps Weekly Honors
In MLV, Emily Londot Makes Supernovas History
Week 11 of professional volleyball action featured crucial movement in both the League One Volleyball and Major League Volleyball standings, with LOVB Atlanta and the Omaha Supernovas each making significant pushes as the playoff picture comes into focus. The week’s standout performances came from a pair of LOVB Atlanta players who swept the league’s weekly honors, and an Omaha Supernovas opposite hitter who made history for the franchise.
Here’s a look at the performances that defined the week.
McKenzie Adams and Magdalena Jehlárová Sweep LOVB Weekly Honors as LOVB Atlanta Climbs to Second Place
McKenzie Adams and Magdalena Jehlárová each turned in the best performances of their seasons last week, leading LOVB Atlanta to a pair of sweeps over Nebraska and Salt Lake that vaulted the team into second place in the standings.
Adams was the offensive engine behind both wins and earned her first career Offensive Player of the Week nod. The reigning LOVB Outside Hitter of the Year opened the week at Nebraska with season highs of 18 points and 14 kills on a .357 attack efficiency, surpassing her previous single-match high of 13 kills, which she set in January against Houston. She followed that up with another strong showing against Salt Lake on March 21, finishing the week with 22 kills on .292 attack efficiency and three aces while holding opponents to a 53% in-system mark across both matches.

Adams now leads Atlanta with 167 points on the season and ranks second on the team with 132 kills. The U.S. National Team member has been a driving force behind Atlanta’s 8-2 run over their last 10 matches, which was a stretch that lifted the team from the bottom of the standings to the top three.
The weekly honor was the first of her LOVB career.
Jehlárová was equally impactful at the net that earned her the LOVB Defensive Player of the Week award. The middle blocker recorded seven blocks and 14 positive touches across both sweeps, including a four-block performance against Salt Lake that tied her season high and helped Atlanta clinch the regular-season tiebreaker between the two teams. The performance marked the third time this season the Přerov, Czechia native has reached four blocks in a match.

She also went a perfect 5-for-5 in digs in the Salt Lake match. On the season, she currently ranks third in the league with 36 blocks, sixth in blocks per set (.643), and sixth in good touch percentage (.517), while contributing 89 kills and 10 aces for 135 total points. Atlanta and Salt Lake now share identical 9-7 records, but Atlanta holds the edge with 33 set wins to Salt Lake’s 32.
The weekly award was the second Defensive Player of the Week nod of Jehlárová’s career and her first of 2026.
Emily Londot Makes History in Omaha Supernovas Sweep of Grand Rapids
Emily Londot made history in Week 11, becoming the first opposite hitter in the Omaha Supernovas franchise history to earn MLV Player of the Week honors. In her first match since being named an MLV All-Star, Londot led the Supernovas to a 3-0 sweep over Grand Rapids, finishing with 18 points, 17 kills, 15 digs, and a .417 hitting percentage to lead all players in both categories.
The double-double was her fifth of the season, and her 17 kills marked the second time she has reached that total this season. She was just three kills shy of her season high of 20 kills, which also came against Grand Rapids back in February.
