ORLANDO VALKYRIES
After career nights from Natalie Foster, Kaz Brown and Brittany Abercrombie the Orlando Valkyries (14-10) are headed to the playoffs, completing a road sweep over the Columbus Fury (8-16) by set scores of 25-17, 25-18, 25-17. The Valkyries join the Atlanta Vibe and the Omaha Supernovas as the only three teams that have clinched a playoff bid. With only one more spot up for grabs, Orlando will have their chance to compete for a championship in Vegas from May 9-11.
In what was a good night to get the offense back into a rhythm, the Valkyries hit to the tune of an incredible .333 efficiency, the first time they’ve hit over .300 since February 27, when they swept the Omaha Supernovas on the road. In each set, the Valkyries were able to get out to early leads that made it difficult for Columbus to challenge.
Up Next:
With just four matches left to go in the regular season, the Valkyries will aim to build on this momentum, as they look to play their best ball as they head into the playoffs. Their next match will be a great test towards that, as they will travel to Fishers, Indiana, to take on the Indy Ignite on Friday starting at 7 p.m. Go to _ https://provolleyball.com/teams/orlando-valkyries _ for more information.
