One, two, three… seven. Yep, that’s seven straight heartbreakers for this Pro Volleyball team, and let’s just say, things aren’t exactly going according to plan. Back on March 14, in front of a pumped-up crowd at the Alliant Energy Center, LOVB Madison handed Omaha another tough loss, sealing the deal with a 25-16, 25-17, 26-28, 25-16 win in their final home match of the season. Annie Drews Schumacher and Sarah Franklin were absolute powerhouses at the net—Schumacher flexed a jaw-dropping .500 hitting efficiency with 19 kills, while Franklin was practically untouchable, swinging at a wild .667 with 18 kills.
As Madison steamrolled Omaha, it made it their four straight dubs in their win column, leaving Omaha stuck in the mud. The winning streak for Madison? Red hot. The losing streak for Omaha? Well… ice cold. And now, in the middle of this seven-game slump, this Pro Volleyball team has decided to shake things up in a way no one saw coming. Instead of sticking to the script, they’re bringing in fresh blood mid-season, hoping a roster revamp will be the magic trick to snap this brutal skid.
Lincoln Arneal hopped on X on March 18th to shine a spotlight on some breaking Pro Volleyball news, reposting LOVB Omaha Volleyball’s big announcement: “A new middle blocker has entered the chat! Welcome to Omaha, Sami Francis! Sami is a 6’6” All-American from @StanfordWVB where she won 2 PAC-12 Championships and was named to the All-ACC First Team. Welcome, Sami!” Omaha fans, take a deep breath—because this squad just landed a towering, championship-winning powerhouse, and she’s ready to shake things up.
Lincoln added his own spin, hyping up the move even more: “LOVB Omaha adds another middle blocker to its roster ahead of two matches this weekend. Sami Francis brings an impressive resume from Stanford and will be eligible for Friday’s match.” Translation? This Pro Volleyball team isn’t just sitting around watching their losing streak drag on—they’re making moves, bringing in a battle-tested star who knows a thing or two about winning.
