Terville-Florange – VNVB
3-2
Sets: 25-17 (24 ‘), 18-25 (26’), 16-25 (24 ‘), 25-21 (30’), 15-10 (14 ‘).
To say the least: business is not getting better for the VNVB, which, at this rate, risks having to revise its ambitions downwards. A few days after being swept away by Paris Saint-Cloud at home (0-3), this time he stumbled at the Moselle neighbor. A team from Terville-Florange carried by a Taylor Mims of the great evenings (24 points) and who played a very bad turn on his former teammates.
But if we must above all not take the credit from the TFOC, the VNVB must first attack itself and this “damn” irregularity that makes it ride a roller coaster. The play ended up falling on the wrong side, after a 2:10 match and a tie-break that Sidibé and her Moselle friends dominated almost unchallenged (6-1, then 15-10). Once again, Vandoeuvre-Nancy passed away at the decisive moment …
Ups and downs, the Vandopériennes have known all evening. Guilty of forgetting to set the alarm clock, they somehow offered the first set to their opponents (25-17). Of course, Taylor Mims had the merit of announcing the color to his ex-girlfriends. But it is above all the VNVB which gradually slipped to the score, being dominated by the block of Terville and making too many mistakes.

Rodriguez tried everything
The vandoperic reaction was gradual at first. Then overwhelming. Burazer’s arrival on the pitch got the VNVB back on track in the second set. Unfortunately, the Croatian sharp will also experience air holes. Guided by Rodriguez (17 points), Jacobson and Palgutova, Vandoeuvre first reset the counters (18-25), before knocking out Terville in the third set. A set ended with a bang (8-8, then 16-25) which should have allowed the Meurthe-et-Mosellanes to turn the tide definitively …
However, when Mims went around, the TFOC again foiled the VNVB. Despite three set points saved in the fourth round, Vandoeuvre could not avoid the tie-break. You know the rest …
The trip to Istres this Saturday will be very, very expensive.
