Ex-Nebraska volleyball player Lexi Rodriguez reacted to former University of Pittsburgh’s middle blocker Chiamaka Nwokolo joining the LOVB Omaha. Nwokolo joined the team as it entered its inaugural season of LOVB Pro.
Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Nwokolo had a remarkable run at the University of Pittsburgh from 2019 to 2023. After graduating, she spent two seasons with the Pro Volleyball Federation, following her selection as a sixth overall pick in the 2023 draft.
Nwokolo led the Pittsburgh Panthers to their first-ever NCAA Elite Eight appearance in 2020, their first NCAA Final Four appearance in 2021, and to the national semifinals in 2022 and 2023. The Ohio-based volleyball player received the Second Team All-ACC honors twice after holding the Panthers’ record for both single season and career hitting percentage after posting .392 and .432, respectively.
