OMAHA, Neb. -- Two seniors within the Creighton Volleyball program were selected in the Major League Volleyball Draft on Monday. Ava Martin was the second overall section by the Atlanta Vibe, while Kiara Reinhardt was selected No. 8 overall in the first round by the Omaha Supernovas.
With today's selections, Creighton is the first school in league history to have two selections in the first round of the same draft.
Martin has already been named 2025 BIG EAST Player of the Year and BIG EAST Tournament MVP after an incredible season that sees her averaging 4.43 kills per set on .328 hitting so far this year. She's a four-time All-BIG EAST selection, and four-time honoree on the All-BIG EAST Tournament Team, after helping the Bluejays to a 12th straight BIG EAST regular-season title and sixth consecutive BIG EAST Tournament crown. This season, Martin ranks 22nd in the country in points per set, 24th in total points, 25th in total kills and 26th in kills per set. The 6-foot-1 outside hitter from Overland Park, Kan., ranks fifth in CU history with 1,561 kills, fourth with 124 aces and 10th with a .297 hitting percentage. She was an AVCA Third Team All-American in 2024 after picking up Honorable Mention All-American honors as a sophomore in 2023.
Martin was the second pick in the first round, behind only Mimi Colyer to the Dallas Pulse.
A 6-foot-3 middle blocker from Cedarburg, Wis., Reinhardt ranks 10th nationally in hitting percentage (.435), which leads the BIG EAST. She averages 2.51 kills per set and tops the team 0.98 blocks per set this fall. In her career, Reinhardt owns 781 kills and ranks fourth in CU history with 517 blocks. She also owns 59 aces and is a career .330 hitter. Reinhardt has played in a school-record 121 wins at Creighton, helping the Bluejays to six BIG EAST regular-season titles as well as six BIG EAST Tournament titles as well.
Both Martin and Reinhardt were named All-BIG EAST on Friday. It's the fourth consecutive honor for Martin, and second straight recognition for Reinhardt.
Martin and Reinhardt are Creighton's third and fourth professional draft picks in the past two years, joining Norah Sis and Kendra Wait last year in the Pro Volleyball Federation. Sis was the No. 3 overall pick last year in the first round to the eventual 2025 league champion Orlando Valkyries, while Wait went 37th overall and was a fifth round selection of the defending league champion Omaha Supernovas.
Creighton is 25-5 after winning its sixth consecutive BIG EAST Tournament yesterday against Xavier, its 20th straight win.Â
