The Omaha Supernovas, the world's leading professional volleyball franchise, received another stellar showing from opposite Emily Londot, who recorded a match-high 19 points, but after Omaha won the first set, the league-leading Indy Ignite responded for a 17-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-13 victory Sunday afternoon at Fishers Event Center in front of 4,483.

Why it matters

The Supernovas' loss to the league-leading Indy Ignite highlights the competitive nature of the MLV and the challenges Omaha faces in its quest to defend its title. Londot's standout performance shows her continued growth as a star player, but the Supernovas' inability to close out the match raises questions about their ability to win close games against top opponents.

The details

In three separate sets, Londot recorded double-digit kills, finishing the match with 17 kills on a .289 hitting percentage, along with an ace and a solo block. Outside hitter Reagan Cooper also reached double figures with 10 kills, adding eight digs and two assists. Rookie middle blocker Kiara Reinhardt continued her efficient play, finishing with six kills on 10 swings with just one error for a .500 hitting percentage, while also recording a match-high three blocks. Indy's offense led the way with a .374 team hitting percentage, including four players in double figures. Former Louisville standout Anna DeBeer matched Londot with 19 points, while Kayla Lund and opposite Camryn Hannah each added 14.

  • The Supernovas will use a six-day break to prepare for their next match against the Grand Rapids Rise on Saturday, March 7, at Van Andel Arena. First serve is set for 6 p.m. CST in Grand Rapids.
