Stivrins Makes Athletes Unlimited Pro Debut

Former Nebraska volleyball All-American Lauren Stivrins made her professional volleyball debut this week with Athletes Unlimited. 

Stivrins had eight kills, four blocks and three service aces to lead Team De La Cruz to a 68-59 (25-13, 18-25, 25-21) victory over Team McClendon on Wednesday at Fair Park Coliseum in Dallas. The middle blocker earned MVP 1 honors while hitting .250 in the victory and producing four of the team's seven blocks. 

Athletes Unlimited tracks individual player points throughout the season based on wins, stats and MVP honors. After one match played, Stivrins ranks second in the league with 308 total points, trailing only Karsta Lowe's 357 points. 

Stivrins and Team De La Cruz will play again on Friday at 8:30 p.m. CT on FS2.
