The Indy Ignite shook off a rough opening set Sunday and powered past the Omaha Supernovas 3-1 at Fishers Event Center, winning 17-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-13.
The victory pushed Indy to a league-best 12-2 record at the midpoint of the Major League Volleyball season and extended the Ignite’s winning streak to six matches, a franchise high.
After Omaha controlled the first set, Indy head coach Lauren Bertolacci went to outside hitter Kayla Lund in the second set — and the match changed. Playing extended minutes for the first time in about a month after dealing with a knee injury, Lund delivered 14 kills on 20 swings, finishing with a .700 kill rate and 10 digs for a double-double.
Indy edged the second set 25-22, then used a key surge in the third to take a 2-1 lead. The Ignite closed the third set with outside hitter Anna DeBeer scoring Indy’s final three points, including a service ace, in a 25-21 win.
The fourth set was all Indy. The Ignite jumped out early, hit at a blistering clip in the clincher, and rolled to a 25-13 finish. Indy hit .374 as a team for the match, a figure Omaha noted as the highest hitting percentage the Supernovas have allowed.
DeBeer led Indy with 19 points (13 kills, three aces, three blocks). Lund and opposite Camryn Hannah added 14 points apiece, and middle blocker Lydia Martyn chipped in 10. Setter Mia Tuaniga posted 52 assists and 11 digs for a double-double.
Omaha was led by Emily Londot with a match-high 19 points. The match drew 4,483 fans.
Indy’s next match is Sunday, March 8, at home against Grand Rapids
