WINNING STREAK CONTINUES

Göteborg Volley – Habo C, 3-1

In this round of the series, we hosted Habo C in Idrottshögskolan on Saturday.

The match starts in our favour, where we take an early lead in the first set at 8-4 and keep the lead at 16-8 and 21-13. The away team uses their both time-outs early on to break the momentum but with 4 serve aces, 3 blocks and a solid attacking, we close the set 25-17.

The momentum shifts completely in the second set, in favour of the away team. Habo C makes 3 aces, receives very well and increases their attacking ratios while on our side, we underperform in all aspects of the game, making a total of 13 errors. Habo C keeps opening the gap towards the end of the set and our time-outs are not enough to stop them this time. The away team wins the set with 25-18.

We start the third set strong once again and probably play the cleanest set we played ever this season, making only 3 errors in total. We take an early lead at 8-3 with Yonos and Viktor’s serve series, forcing the away team to use their two time-outs in the first half of the set again. At that point and on, the gap increases to 16-7 and 21-8, with the help of Eusebio’s serves. With help of 2 aces and 5 blocks, we close the set with 25-15, bringing the score to 2-1.

The momentum remains on our side at the fourth set, where we lead 8-4, this time with help of Jonatan’s serves. We keep the gap at 16-12 and 21-16, entering the last part of the match calm. Although making no blocks in this set, we increase our attacking to 52% with only few errors and make 3 aces. Both teams make very few errors in the fourth set, making it difficult to score and raising the quality of the game. We close the set 25-19 and therefore win the match 3-1.

According to overall stats, we were slightly the better side when it comes to serve aces, blocking and attacking. More importantly, our errors were fewer compared to the away team. Best scorers of the match on our side were Jonatan with 18 points (3 aces, 3 blocks) and Yonos with 17 points (1 aces, 1 block). The away team’s best scorers were their outside hitters with 11 points each.

With this result, Göteborg Volley keeps the lead in the series with one extra match played. During the next round of series, we will be visiting KFUM Jönköping, on 10 February, 15:30 in Ungdomens hus in Jönköping.
