VII round. The fourth game. January 20
"Halychanka-ZUNU" — SC "Balta" 0-3 (14:25, 16:25, 17:25)
In the match against the Ternopil players, it was important for the volleyball players of "Balta" to rehabilitate in front of their fans for the previous defeat against "Bukovynka". Ans do it qualitatively and confidently. In the end, they succeeded: representatives of Odesa won their debut "easy" victory of the season.
Andrii Romanovych's wards tried to briskly build combinations from the opening minutes of the confrontation, which bore fruit. Because their opponents often did not have time to do a block. For example, in one of the episodes, Daria Skliarova was left alone on the net, and the outside hitter usually did not forgive this (4:9).
In addition, the Ternopil players lacked power in attack. Liudmila Chornenka also told her wards about this during one of the time-outs. However, her instructions did not fundamentally affect the course of the game in the first set - 14:25.
After a forced long break, the Balta team did not lose momentum (2:5). Soon, they increased their margin to seven points (6:13) on the stable serve of Anastasiia Strelbytska. In those moments, it was incredibly difficult for "Halychanka" to gain every point, because problems had been lingering since the previous set. Although, despite this, they did improve their performance — 16:25.
In the third set, the Ternopil team had nothing to lose, so they began to take more risks and act more aggressively in the final stage of attacks. It seemed that representatives of Odesa were not ready for this (5:3). However, with each new rally, they gradually regained such a desirable triumphal rhythm — 17:25.
