2026 Volleyball Preview: Omaha Mavericks

Don't sleep on the Mavericks in 2026. I really like the potential of this roster. Matt Buttermore has built one of the Summit League's most successful programs, and Omaha has added some intriguing pieces around returning All-Freshman selection Faith Venable. In Preview #5, I break down: 🏐 Why I'm higher on Omaha than last year's record might suggest 🏐 Faith Venable and the returning core 🏐 The additions of Madi Corf, Hayden Hart and Maddie Stuesser 🏐 Omaha's size and potential across the front row 🏐 Position-by-position depth charts 🏐 What the Mavericks must replace from Kali Jurgensmeier and Emily Huss 🏐 The 2026 non-conference schedule 🏐 My expectations for Omaha in the Summit League race Is Omaha a bounce-back candidate in 2026? I think the pieces are there to make things interesting.
