Dresdner SC fulfill duty in Neuwied
Dresdner SC's volleyball players fulfilled their compulsory task at VC Neuwied, winning 3:0 (25:17, 25:17, 25:22) in commanding fashion. This was the six-time German champions' tenth win in a row in all competitions. The team from the city on the Elbe will now face SSC Palmberg Schwerin in the European CEV Cup on Wednesday.
The visitors dictated the action from the outset in front of 190 spectators at the bottom of the table with powerful tasks and attacks as well as a stable block and court defense.
As the match progressed, DSC coach Alexander Waibl gave several players from his second row a chance to play. After taking a clear 21:9 lead in the second period, they lost their rhythm somewhat as a result, but nevertheless secured a 2:0 lead in the set.
The DSC players made a few mistakes in the third period, while Neuwied played courageously. The match remained evenly poised for a long time, but Dresden kept its composure in the final phase and after 69 minutes, a block by Lena Linke on the third match point put the final point on the board.
The women's volleyball team from Dresden SC, currently leading in the Bundesliga, will participate in their next match against SSC Palmberg Schwerin in the European CEV Cup. Despite giving opportunities to their reserve players during the match against VC Neuwied, Dresden SC's women maintained their winning streak, closing out their victory with a blocking effort from Lena Linke.
