Volleyball. Polish women are better than Turkish women. Great match of Lavarini’s players
Stefano Lavarini in Wednesday’s control match decided on the following combination: Agnieszka Korneluk, Magdalena Stysiak, Martyna Łukasik, Joanna Wołosz, Joanna Pacak, Olivia Różański and Maria Stenzel. After just a few minutes of competition, the Polish women had a few-point advantage over their rivals. Olivia Różański did a great job in the service field. The best team of the League of Nations after a while led to a draw (8:8), and in the following minutes the game was played “point for point”. From 14:14, Lavarini’s players built their advantage again. They did not give it back until the end of the set, which they won 25:20.
The second set was much more even. And although at some point the Polish women were leading 9:4, the Turkish women managed to equalize. What’s more, a few moments later they even had a three-point lead (11:14). However, Lavarini’s players did not give in to the Turks and equalized. The end of the set was extremely exciting – until 22:22 the Polish women gained confidence and led the game to the end, winning 25:23 and increasing the advantage in the match.

The third set was completely under the dictation of the White and Reds. After a few minutes they were leading by five points (8:3)! In the following minutes, the advantage was maintained – the Polish players played very confidently, and the Turkish players made more mistakes. At some point, the advantage of our volleyball players was already nine points (22:13) and the Polish players confidently brought it to the end of the match. The third set ended with the score 25:16.

Even before the match started, the coaches of both teams agreed to play four sets. This meant that despite the score 3:0, there was still one more game waiting for the Polish woman. This one ended with the victory of the Turks 25:20. However, our players prevailed throughout the match.
The Polish players played very confidently in the service. They served an ace nine times. The blocking and attacking game was also good. You can see that after the success in the League of Nations, Lavarini’s team did not leave the form. It is worth noting the return to the field of two Polish stars: Joanna Wołosz and Malwina Smarzek, who did not play in the League of Nations.
