Dresden. The second division volleyball team from VC Dresden narrowly lost 2:3 (25:22, 23:25, 22:25, 27:25, 15:17) at FT Freiburg, but they sold very well in third place. They were able to kidnap at least one point from the Breisgau. “It wasn’t necessarily expected and could perhaps still be very valuable in the final accounts,” said VC sports director Sven Dörendahl with satisfaction.

Even though the hosts were able to record a win against them in front of 402 spectators for the first time since the Elbestadt team returned to the Bundesliga lower house, Dörendahl emphasized: “We played well. It was an enormous improvement compared to the derby against Leipzig and we were on an equal footing with the third-placed team the entire time.”

Especially the service and acceptance game went much better this time. In the fourth set, the Dresdeners were even able to fend off two match balls from the home side. The VC men owe this above all to the serves of middle blocker Florian Rietz, who was also honored as MVP in the end. So the Saxons fought for this one point. In the tie-break, too, they exchanged blows with the Freiburgers until the end. “Two or three stupid mistakes by us were decisive in the end. The people from Breisgau are more solid there, they only allow themselves a few mistakes.”

Victory went to the hosts after 126 minutes. “We can build on this achievement. If we build on that against Delitzsch, then there will also be something worth counting in the Sachsenderby,” said Sven Dörendahl confidently.
