MATCHUP STORYLINES

Mojo Seeking Fourth Straight: San Diego (4-6) enters the rematch on a three-match winning streak, tied for the longest in franchise history. The run includes a four-set win over the Indy Ignite on Monday and a historic reverse sweep at Grand Rapids. A victory in Indianapolis would mark the first four-match winning streak in franchise history.

Road Challenge in the Series: The Mojo lead the all-time series 3-2 but are 0-2 in Indianapolis.

Monserez Driving the Surge: Setter Marlie Monserez has recorded double-doubles in eight of the last nine matches and ranks among the league leaders in both assists and digs. She is fourth in total assists (388) and first in assists per set (11.41), while also sitting fifth in total digs (121). Her ability to contribute defensively while directing the offense has been central to San Diego's recent stretch.

Middle Matchup at the Net: San Diego's starting middles, McKenna Vicini and Marin Grote, face an Indy front row anchored by Lydia Martin and Blake Mohler, who rank among the league leaders in blocks per set. Efficiency in the middle third of the net could shape long rallies and late-set outcomes.

Opposite Production: Jovana Brakočević is coming off a 22-point, 18-kill performance in the five-set win at Grand Rapids, including a block and kill in the closing stretch of the fifth set. She squares off against Indy's Azhani Tealer, who ranks among the league leaders in points and kills as the Ignite remain in first place at 7-2.

The win marked the Mojo's first road victory of the season and tied the franchise record for consecutive wins with three.

Brakočević's Dynamic Performance: Opposite Jovana Brakočević led all players with 22 points and 18 kills on 36 swings against Grand Rapids, hitting .500 with a .438 efficiency.
