Klika and the Orlando Valkyries are the Pro Volleyball Federation champs, beating the Indy Ignite and Louisville alums Anna Debeer and Elena Scott in 4 sets. PVF players make a minimum of $60K and a max of $175K. Payroll for teams is at $1.3 million. The winning team earns a $1 million prize. That’s a nice year end bonus. 18 players on the roster. That’s over $55,000 extra per player.
I didn't watch the game, so I looked at the stats to try to figure it out: what was the libero strategy they mentioned? Looks like they played with two liberos - any more detail on that?
They play a different libero depending on whether they are serving or receiving. Nice article about Emmy's addition to their roster and her role on the team.

Was a decent game. Was one of those games where momentum took over and was unstoppable. Passing ended up being the difference so I understand why it was highlighted.
Well done, Emmy! She sometimes got lost in the shuffle with the rest of her senior class. It’s cool to see her get the well deserved recognition.
Late in the 2022 season, Fish replaced Senior Ashley Browske with Sophomore Emmy Klicka at Libero.
After watching Emmy, my immediate thoughts were "this girl is mentally tough!"
Emmy made 16 digs in Pitt’s 3-2 victory at defending national champion Wisconsin in the Elite 8, one of three 10+ dig performances in the NCAA Tournament that season.
Pitt advanced to the National Semifinals...
