Supernovas' Londot First Opposite to Earn MLV Weekly Award in '26

Omaha opposite hitter Emily Londot recognized as league's top player for the week

Mar. 25, 2026 at 7:44pm

Omaha Supernovas opposite hitter Emily Londot has been selected as the Major League Volleyball Player of the Week, presented by Franklin Sports. Londot, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 MLV Draft, earns her second career Player of the Week honor and becomes just the fourth opposite in league history to earn the award.

Why it matters

Londot's award is a significant achievement, as opposites have historically been underrepresented among the league's weekly award winners. Her performance highlights the Supernovas' strong start to the season and Londot's emergence as one of the MLV's top players at her position.

The details

In her first match since being named a 2026 MLV All-Star, Londot led the Supernovas to their third consecutive win last Friday at the CHI Health Center with a sweep of the Grand Rapids Rise. The Utica, Ohio native recorded a match-high 18 points on 17 kills while posting a career-best .417 hitting percentage. She also delivered one of her strongest defensive performances as a professional, totaling 15 digs and one block.

  • Londot earned her second career Player of the Week honor on March 25, 2026.
  • Londot was named a 2026 MLV All-Star prior to the award-winning match.
