BR Volleys successfully defend the Supercup
The Berlin Volleys have won the three-day Volleyball Supercup tournament in Hildesheim. In the final on Sunday, the defending champions beat arch-rivals VfB Friedrichshafen 3:0 (25:21, 25:22, 25:18). In front of 1530 spectators, Czech international Marek Sotola in particular was unstoppable. The Volleys' diagonal attacker scored 20 points alone.
Frenchman Timothee Carle was the winner's second-best scorer with 13 points. The Friedrichshafen side proved to be a tough opponent in the first two sets. It was only in the final period that the Berliners dominated and pulled six points ahead at 14:8.
The BR Volleys once again demonstrated their strengths on serve. They managed seven aces, the Friedrichshafen team only two.
Netzhoppers KW-Bestensee managed a conciliatory end to the tournament. After two sobering defeats, the team from Brandenburg beat TSV Haching Munich 2:0 (26:24, 25:18) in their last match in the placement round.
