Omaha Supernovas Sign Three Stars Ahead 2026 Major League Volleyball

The Omaha Supernovas have made significant moves ahead of their 2026 Major League Volleyball season, signing former Nebraska star Merritt Beason, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 Pro Volleyball Federation Draft and spent her rookie season with the Atlanta Vibe. Beason, an All-American at Nebraska and coached by John Cook—now co-owner and general manager of the Supernovas—returns to Nebraska to join a star-studded roster that also includes setter Sydney Hilley and U.S. Olympian libero Morgan Hentz. Hilley, a former Supernovas player and Playoff MVP, and Hentz, who holds league records for digs, bring championship experience and top league honors to the team. The signings mark the first major free agency acquisitions for the Supernovas under Cook's leadership, as the franchise prepares to compete in Major League Volleyball starting in 2026. Fans can anticipate a strong season at the CHI Health Center, with ticket information forthcoming. These developments underscore the Supernovas' ambition to build a powerhouse team by reuniting Nebraska volleyball talent and top professional players.
