I was not in attendance at the Indy Ignite home opener last weekend, but, by all accounts, the crowd was loud, boisterous and sold out.  At the second game Thursday night, the crowd was not sold out, maybe a little over half full, but the fans there were once again plenty loud and boisterous.

They witnessed an Ignite squad that is playing very good volleyball.  Saturday night, again by the consistent account of others, Ignite had a very tough initial set, then settled down and won all remaining sets to take the match.

Thursday, Ignite took all 3 sets to take a second win in the young history of this franchise.

The last time I attended a women’s volleyball game in person was when my daughter Allison played, which would have been more than 15 years ago.  What impresses me the most about the women of Ignite is the clear devotion to the game and the amazing athletic ability illustrated in the quality of their play.

Look, I am no expert on women’s volleyball but I can see talent and the result of hard work, and that is what I witnessed Thursday night.

On a side note, I understand Caitlan Clark was at the game Thursday.  She was a good distance from me, I only know this because Ignite posted a social media photo of her.

I recorded a podcast interview with Mary Kay Huse, President and General Manager of the Indy Ignite.  You will learn a great deal by listening at this link.
