The Indy Ignite tightened their grip on first place in Major League Volleyball on Saturday, sweeping the Omaha Supernovas 25-21, 25-19, 25-21 in Omaha. The official league scoreboard listed the match as a 3-0 Indy victory, and the league standings show the Ignite at 15-4 entering the weekend, ahead of Dallas at 15-5.

Saturday’s result was an important one for Indy, which had lost two of its first three meetings this season with Omaha. The Supernovas came in holding a 2-1 edge in the season series, including a five-set win over the Ignite on March 14 at CHI Health Center.

This time, Indy finished the job quickly.

According to Hurrdat Sports, the Ignite closed out the match in 86 minutes and never dropped a set, taking control with efficient play in all three frames. Omaha was playing short-handed, missing three usual starters, but Indy still did what first-place teams are expected to do on the road by handling business in straight sets.

The victory also gave the Ignite a strong response after their last outing before the All-Star break, a four-set loss at Grand Rapids on March 25. In that match, Indy fell to 15-4 but remained atop the league standings. Saturday’s win over Omaha kept the Ignite in that lead position as the regular season heads into the stretch run.

Indy entered the weekend with one of the best records in the league, while Omaha was fighting to solidify its playoff position in a crowded middle tier of the standings. That made Saturday’s contest one of the more important late-season matches on the MLV schedule.
