Columbus Fury Press Release

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Puerto Rican and former Orlando Valkyrie Paula Cerame has signed to play for the Columbus Fury in 2025. Cerame, a 5-8 libero, played three seasons at the University of Florida and spent her final two collegiate seasons at Indiana University. After completing her collegiate career, she played for the Puerto Rican national team in 2022 and 2023 before signing with Orlando last summer.

“I am so grateful and excited to be joining Columbus Fury for the upcoming season,” said Cerame. “I can’t wait to be a part of the franchise’s success alongside great coaches and players. I’m excited to spend this season with Coach Ángel, someone I watched play growing up. I look forward to learning from his experience as both an elite player and coach. Counting down the days, go for it Fury!”

Cerame appeared in 21 matches and 63 sets for the Valkyries, primarily as a serving specialist. She totaled 45 digs and five aces in limited action in Orlando. In two seasons with Indiana, she started every match as a libero, totaling 994 digs, 231 assists and 47 aces for the Hoosiers. The 994 digs rank her in the top 15 all-time at IU for career digs.

“Paula is an athletic, young, passionate, hungry libero who wants to prove she can compete with the best. I think her biggest strength will be her hunger for the upcoming season. We expect her to be great on defense like she was last year for Orlando. She has great college experience with Indiana and Florida and has international experience playing for Puerto Rico. We see her as a diamond in the rough, we can develop her into a great player.”
