Super League-Dmart 2023/24 (women)
5th round. The fourth game. December 22
SC "Balta" — SC "Prometey" 0-3 (21:25, 11:25, 14:25)
The current champions of Ukraine continued their winning streak in the championship of Ukraine, which now includes eleven matches. This time, the Balta team could not oppose them.
From the first minutes of the confrontation, the initiative was quite predictably seized by the "red and whites" (2:5, 6:11), whose composition was different compared to the match against "Alanta". In particular, Margarita Heiko, Anastasiia Maievska, Viktoriia Danchak, and Melisa Bukmen appeared in the starting line-up.
The athletes justified the coach's trust by finishing the set in their favor. However, it was not without mistakes, especially in the ending. The Balta players took full advantage of them and organized a defiant rush (6:0). Soon, a successful attack to the sideline by Danchak put an end to this set - 21:25.
Ivan Petkov's wards drew conclusions during the break after a locally unsuccessful set and improved stability in the attack. Meanwhile, representatives of Odeshchyna were constantly trying to find the weak points of their opponents in defense. And only creative actions, for example, relegating Anastasiia Horbachenko, allowed them to score points. However, there were not so many of them - 11:25.
The first half of the third set was a relatively even fight (8:10). Still, later on, we witnessed the complete dominance of "Prometey" - 14:25.
Starting line-up of SC "Balta": Dromova (4), Ratii (1), Skliarova (k) (3), Nohina (14), Lysa (3), Horbachenko (2), Karasova (l). Substitutes: Malysheva (1), Berezovska.
Starting line-up of SC "Prometey": Heiko (12), Danchak (15), Maievska (8), Dorsman (k) (8), Sharhorodska (4), Bukman (10), Niemtseva (l), Vasylieva (l). Substitutes: Oliinyk.
