"Halychanka" and "Regina" approached their meeting as outsiders of the Super League-Dmart. These are the only teams that have not tasted victory yet. In the end, Antonina Zhuk's wards broke their unsuccessful streak today.
The start of the match was fairly even (4:4). The teams acted with varying degrees of success, but for a long time, none of them managed to break away by more than two points (8:6, 8:9).
After Maria Nakoskina's block-out and Andriana Pavlyk's ace, "Regina" made a confident breakthrough (9:13). Liudmila Chornenka responded with a time-out. However, the problems of her players on the court continued. In those moments, they look nothing like a single coordinated mechanism - 14:25.
The first half of the next set was marked by a "more-or-less" game. Once again, the rivals had an even and dynamic start (7:7), and again at the equator of the set, the initiative completely shifted to the side of the Rivne team (7:12). Anastasiia Zgurska made a significant contribution to this success with three consecutive aces. In the end, the Ternopil players could not reach the mark of 15 points in this set as well - 14:25.
After a long break, which kinda dragged on, the pace of the match dropped noticeably. And for some time this played well for the representatives of Halychanka, who immediately rushed to catch up with their opponents by the sets (6:4, 8:7). Well, what are you going to do: in the middle of the set, thanks to confident actions over the net, "Regina" turned the course of the meeting (11:15). This moment became a turning point — 15:25.
