Ignite Ride Big Night to Sweep Dallas at Home, Stay on Top of MLV Standings

The Indy Ignite women’s volleyball team turned in a dominant performance Saturday night, sweeping the Dallas Pulse 3-0 at the Fishers Event Center to improve to 5-1 in Major League Volleyball play.
The Ignite controlled the match from the opening serve, winning by scores of 25-14, 25-14 and 29-27 before an energetic home crowd. The victory marked Indy’s first home sweep in nearly a year and snapped Dallas’ four-match winning streak.
Indy’s balanced offense and strong defensive play were evident throughout the match. The Ignite finished with 51 digs and seven service aces, tying a league season high for a three-set match. Consistent pressure from the service line kept Dallas out of rhythm, while Indy’s blocking limited scoring opportunities at the net.
Lydia Martyn and Kayla Lund each recorded 10 kills to lead the Ignite attack. Their production proved especially important in the third set, when Dallas pushed the score deep into extra points before Indy closed out the match with a late surge.
The win left the Ignite alone atop the MLV standings through the first four weeks of the season, continuing a strong early showing for the second-year professional franchise based in the Indianapolis area.
Head coach Lauren Bertolacci said after the match that the team’s depth and composure were key factors, noting contributions across multiple rotations and steady play in pressure situations.
The Ignite, who play their home matches at the Fishers Event Center, have quickly emerged as one of Central Indiana’s newest professional sports attractions. Indy will look to carry its momentum into its next scheduled match at home against the Grand Rapids Rise Friday.
