The San Diego Mojo has re-signed a trio of players for the 2026 season – All-Stars Shara Venegas and August Raskie, along with outside hitter Kendra Dahlke.
Venegas has been with the Mojo since the inaugural 2024 season and will be entering her third season with the team.
"I'm excited to do this one more time with the Mojo. You know it’s good when you come back for thirds," Venegas said. "I love this city and love my team. Let’s do this with passion and a side of pancakes!"
Venegas is San Diego’s career leader in digs with 758 and digs per set, averaging 3.75 per frame, while her 51 matches, 50 starts and 202 sets played rank second in franchise history.
Last season, Venegas was a 2025 All-Star selection, ranking second in the league in digs per set (3.86) and total digs (413), establishing Mojo single-season records in both categories, while adding 93 assists (0.87/set) after appearing and starting in 27 matches. She had at least 11 digs in 24 of 27 matches played, including four matches of at least 22 digs. She earned Player of the Week honors the final week of the season after registering a Mojo four-match record of 26 digs in a season-finale victory over the playoff-bound Indy Ignite. Those 26 digs marked a career best for Venegas.
Raskie, who helped guide the Mojo to the first PVF Championships in 2024, returns to San Diego after spending last season leading the attack for the Grand Rapids Rise. She played in the league's inaugural All-Star Match last season, appearing in 26 matches and 85 sets for Grand Rapids in 2025, totaling 660 assists, 221 digs and 19 blocks, while adding 46 kills and five service aces.
Her 660 assists were the seventh-most in the league, while her 7.76 assists per set ranked eighth. Raskie collected 11 double-doubles, highlighted by a 51-assist, 26-dig effort against Orlando on January 30.
A fan favorite during San Diego’s inaugural season in 2024, Raskie registered 145 assists and 51 digs for the Mojo and added 13 kills, four blocks, and three aces in 20 matches played. Her all-around contributions as a setter and defensive specialist helped the Mojo reach the playoffs as the three-seed after the team earned victories in five of the final six regular-season matches.
Dahlke is San Diego’s career leader in kills (385), attacks (1,196) and double-doubles (13), while ranking second in career digs (343), service aces (13), kills per set (3.10) and points per set (3.53).
Last season, Dahlke appeared in 24 matches (21 starts) and 87 sets, leading the team with 317 points and 289 kills, and adding 18 blocks, 10 aces, 259 digs and 13 assists while registering 11 double-doubles. She ranked seventh in the league in points per set (3.64), eighth in the league in kills and kills per set (3.32) and ninth in points. She had three matches of 20-plus kills, including a season-high performance of 22 at the Indy Ignite on February 23. The Fallbrook High alum established a Mojo record after collecting at least 10 kills in eight-straight matches (Jan. 11-Feb. 13).
In 2024, Dahlke appeared in 13 matches (eight starts) and 37 sets for San Diego in the inaugural 2024 Pro Volleyball Federation season, recording 96 kills, 84 digs, 12 blocks, three service aces and three assists.
