Poland had lost again... |
|
 In the second match Poland didn’t want to repeat yesterday’s failure but strong American team was also desperate to achieve victory. In the first set we had seen a lot of dynamic actions on both sides. They started from “point for point” game. In Polish team as a basic setter was Katarzyna Skorupa. Rest players stayed unchanged. Today the Luczniczka Hall wasn’t so crowded, but Polish fans were having great fun as usual. Polish coach had two breaks and he used all players in this set looking for the best tactic. First set ball was for U.S.A. (24:22) . Finally American team won 26:24. At the beginning of second set U.S.A. was leading but soon we had tie (8:8). When Poland had 2 points of advantage coach Lang Ping asked for time. Both teams made many mistakes in service like nets, outs. In the middle of this set American team had 4 more points than hosts, but as fast as possible they tried to catch up on. Unfortunately it didn’t change the final result – again U.S.A. won 25:22. Third set Polish team started in better style, in changed order without Malgorzata Glinka. Instead her we saw Anna Podolec. After few great services Poland had advantage of 2 points(12:10). Just few seconds later hosts had 5 points more. We saw an amazing change in Polish team. They had broken bad passion and won first set in this tournament (25:18). This time hosts didn’t have so much luck. When the score was 8:5 for guest coach R. Niemczyk called his team to . The smallest (175cm) spiker in Polish team Milena Rosner showed a great game playing smart balls. Hosts had finally started getting points from middle attack. However, U.S.A. won last set 25:21.
