The Indy Ignite continued their strong early-season run Friday night with a straight-set victory over the Columbus Fury at Nationwide Arena.

With the win, Indy improves to 11-2 and has now won five consecutive matches, strengthening its position near the top of the Major League Volleyball standings.

The Ignite set the tone early, establishing control with aggressive serving and efficient offense. Indy took the opening set and maintained momentum throughout the match, closing it out in three sets.

Veteran attackers Leketor Member-Meneh and Azhani Tealer again paced the Ignite offense, delivering key kills in transition and converting high-pressure points. Indy’s balanced attack limited extended runs by Columbus and forced the Fury to play from behind most of the night.

Defensively, the Ignite were sharp at the net and in the back row. Their blocking disrupted Columbus’ timing, while consistent floor defense turned Fury attacks into counter-scoring opportunities.

Columbus leaders Raina Terry and Regan Pittman had moments offensively, but the Fury struggled to generate sustained rhythm against Indy’s system.

The victory adds to the Ignite’s recent success in the season series against Columbus and continues a stretch in which Indy has shown the ability to win both tight matches and decisive contests.

Head coach Lauren Bertolacci said her team’s consistency and trust in its system have been key during the current winning streak. The Ignite have shown improved execution in late-set situations and have limited unforced errors during the five-match run.

Indy returns home Sunday to host the Omaha Supernovas at the Fishers Event Center. First serve is scheduled for the afternoon as the Ignite look to extend their streak to six matches.

If the current form continues, the Ignite will remain one of the teams to beat as the season moves deeper into its early schedule.
