Willow Play of the Week, the legendary daughter of the United States

San Diego Mojo, where Willow plays, faced Orlando Valkyries in the 2024 U.S. Professional Volleyball League at Bias Arena in San Diego on the 29th of last month (local time) and won the set score 3-2 (25-18, 19-25, 25-15, 18-25, 15-11).

Willow, who has four jersey numbers in the match, started the apogit, with setter Nootsara Tomcombe, outside heater Kendra Dalke, Temi Thomas Aylara, middle blocker Ronica Stone, Alison Bastianelli and Libero Sharra Marie Vegas Medina on the roster.

Willow scored the best score of 20 points in the game and scored three points with a block.

The game, which started with Bastianelli's serve ace, was led by Willow's three consecutive points. After a fierce battle, in which one set was given and one set was given, Willow scored two points to bring the game to 15-11, winning the game. Willow neutralized the opponent's defense by banking on his signature deep diagonal attack that he also showed in the Korean V-League.

In response, San Diego Mojo said on the 30th of last month, "Willow Johnson became the 'Player of the Week' selected by Franklin Sports for his performance in leading two of his team's three games," adding, "Willow Johnson scored an average of 20 points in three games."

Willow Johnson, who is 190 centimeters tall, is the daughter of Randy Johnson, a legendary pitcher of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB). In the U.S., he received the National Excellence Award of the Association of Volleyball Leaders (AVCA) in 2018, and has played in the Turkiye League and the Athlete Unlimited Pro League.

He applied for a V-League tryout for two consecutive seasons, 22-23, 23-24, but was not selected at the time, but joined Heungkuk Life Insurance as a substitute for Yelena Mrazenovic and made his debut in Korea.

Willow's performance in the 23-24 season was recorded at 41.3 percent on average as he played in 38 sets and scored 214 points in 11 matches in the regular season. The playoff scored 50 points (40.37 percent in attack success rate) in 11 sets in three matches, and 76 points (42.14 percent in attack success rate) in 15 sets in three matches in the championship game.

Meanwhile, the U.S. professional volleyball league began on January 24 this year and is in its first season. After the establishment of the Pro Volleyball Federation in November 2022, the team began to form a full-fledged professional league. Currently, there are a total of seven teams in the U.S. professional league, including Atlanta Vibe, Columbus Fury, Grand Raffies Rise, Omaha Super Novaz, Orlando Valkyries, San Diego Mojo, and Vegas Thrill.
