ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Valkyries will have four representatives compete in the inaugural PVF All-Star match on Saturday, February 22, where it will be broadcast nationally on CBS.
Every team is represented in this year’s All-Star match, with the Atlanta Vibe, Orlando Valkyries and Vegas Thrill headlining the match with four players apiece. The two squads will be led by a duo of volleyball coaching icons – Dave Shondell of Purdue and Georgia Tech’s Michelle Collier.

Anae eclipsed 124 kills, 99 digs, nine blocks and four service aces this season. In all nine matches, Anae has recorded at least nine digs, including a season-high 18 digs against Vegas on January 19.
Brown, Pro Volleyball Federation’s Middle Blocker of the Year in 2024, has 71 kills on a 31% hitting efficiency, and 17 blocks, good for eighth in the league.
Guedpard has posted 318 assists and 92 digs so far this year. She tied a PVF record with 44 assists in a three-set match versus Omaha on February 2.

To combine that with more than 10,000 fans voting just shows that if you can’t be there in person, it’s a must-watch event on CBS!”
