OMAHA, Neb. — Omaha Supernovas outside hitter Sarah Parsons was named Major League Volleyball Player of the Week for the second time this season, an honor presented by Franklin Sports. She is the only MLV player to receive multiple weekly awards in 2026.
A native of Eden Prairie, Minn., Parsons continued her season-long trend of dominant play against the Columbus Fury, posting match highs with 26 points and 21 kills while finishing with a Supernovas career best .452 hitting percentage in the Novas’ home finale last Friday.
Parsons recorded some of her most dominant outings against Columbus, combining to total 87 points (5.8 per set) on 73 kills (4.87 per set), 41 digs (2.73 per set), 12 blocks, two aces and a .343 hitting percentage across four matches versus the Fury in 2026.
Parsons also recorded four of the team’s franchise-record 21 blocks in the four-set win over Columbus, as the Supernovas clinched their third-straight MLV postseason spot. She has recorded 13 matches with double-digit kills this season, including five of her last six outings.
The Novas return to action for its regular season finale on Friday, May 1 when it travels to Dallas.
