Dresdner SC wins the East derby against VfB Suhl Lotto Thüringen

The Dresden SC volleyball players have continued their winning streak. Coach Alexander Waibl's team won the East derby against VfB Suhl Lotto Thüringen 3:0 (25:23, 25:22, 25:20) in their home arena. The team from the city on the Elbe thus remain unbeaten after the sixth Bundesliga matchday.

In front of 2743 spectators, the action was back and forth at the start. The hosts looked a little tired a few days after their 3:2 win in Schwerin and struggled to find their rhythm. However, they were able to pull away a little in the first set thanks to a series of serves by Sarah Straube and, in the end, diagonal attacker Marta Levinska converted the third set point.

In the second set, Waibl's side's reception was shaky and the visitors from Thuringia made the most of their chances, did not lose a single ball and built a five-point lead. However, the DSC women fought back with a strong team performance and the top scorer in the German league, Marta Levinska, won the set with three points in a row. Suhl continued to put up stiff resistance in the third period, but the DSC women played to their strengths in attack and defense.
