A challenging game

Like the first match against Herrsching, the second game also showed that things weren't easy for Düren. Coach Acht had initial concerns, but the players convinced him and turned things around. In the first set, Düren quickly led 11:7, influenced by powerful serves and blocking actions from Petteri Tyynismaa and Ryan Poole. Player Siebe Korenblek made a decisive contribution to Düren's lead. In the second set, Herrsching managed to take the lead with 13:11, but Düren quickly took control again.

Jordan Canham was able to secure the second set with a strong serve and a successful counterattack for Düren. The third set went right from the start in Düren's favor, who kept their focus until the end. Even though Herrsching applied pressure on the serve, mistakes by the opponents led to clear Düren control (20:16 in the third set). In the end, Canham blocked the decisive point to make it 23:19, which secured Düren's victory.

The look forward

Düren is now turning his attention to the next challenge: an away game against the Helios Grizzlys Giesen is coming up. Apart from the sporting successes, coach Acht is hoping for a home game in the cup quarter-finals. This incentive also motivates the team to stay in top form and continue on the path to success. It is important for Düren to maintain their level in future games in order to defend their top position in the league.

The performance of the powervolleys, both in the cup and in the Bundesliga, underlines an impressive team game that inspires both coaches and fans. If the team continues to perform like this, it will be exciting to see where their journey takes them this season.
