Jordan Larson got emotional after receiving a heartfelt honor from her LOVB Nebraska team during the last volleyball match of her career. She had been professionally playing for the last 15 seasons.
Larson was last seen in action on April 4, playing for her team against LOVB Austin, who claimed a 3-2 (22-25, 26-24, 25-19, 22-25,15-10) victory.

“On behalf of, right, your team in League One volleyball and League One Nebraska, right? We, are so thankful for your commitment to the state of Nebraska, right? Volleyball in the United States, volleyball in the world, right, and the impact that you had on it, and I just wanna take a moment to thank you for that, right?
