First the loss in the cup, now the setback in the Bundesliga: Dresden SC's volleyball players suffered their second defeat in three days. Coach Alexander Waibl's team lost 2:3 (25:17, 22:25, 23:25, 25:21, 12:15) at USC Münster. It was the Dresden side's second defeat in its eighth championship match.
The dethroned cup holders seemed to want to respond with a show of defiance after losing the cup semi-final 2:3 at VfB Suhl. However, after winning the first set in commanding fashion, the game turned. Münster won the contested second and third sets. Dresden then rebelled once more and equalized to 2:2.
In the decisive tie-break, Münster's Brianna Ford converted the match point after 2:17 hours to seal the visitors' defeat. Dresden's Mette Marleen Pfeffer was named player of the match, while Marta Levinska was the most successful attacker in the DSC team with 19 points.
