5th round. The first game. December 21
VC "Bukovynka" — "Regina-MEGU-OSHVSM" 3-0 (26:24, 25:13, 25:21)
The wards of Artem Dyhtiarenko won their sixth victory in the current season. Their opponents today put up a decent resistance, but the class of the teams was decisive in this confrontation.
The first set was evenly contested. However, it was the equations that started the match more successfully (2:6). At the end of the set, the Chernivtsi team equalized parity (11:11) thanks to the efforts of Maria Kaplanska. Soon after a successful attack from her sister, Daria Kaplanska, the "Bukovynka" organized a confident rush (20:17). Then we witnessed so-called "swings". In the end, fortune more or less smiled on the favorites — 26:24.
In the next set, "Regina" was forced to be in the role of those who catch up (6:2, 17:10). The representatives of this club did little in both attack and defense. In addition, Dyhtiarenko's team had a great serve. They made three aces in this set. All this together led to such a low performance of volleyball players from Rivne - 25:13.
Apparently, it was too early to believe in the overall victory of the Bukovynka players. They briefly lost concentration in the third set. The opponents took full advantage of this and secured a comfortable advantage (2:7, 8:12). It seemed that this time they would definitely not let their victory go. But the Chernivtsi team had a different opinion: due to their greater experience, they managed to turn the tide of the meeting - 25:21.
