Despite falling behind, the Dresden SC volleyball team turned the cup semi-final in Potsdam around and are back in the final after three years.

The Dresden SC volleyball players have reached the final of the DVV Cup for the tenth time in their club's history. Alexander Waibl's team beat SC Potsdam 3:2 (21:25, 25:21, 23:25, 25:23, 15:11) in a thrilling semi-final match.

In the final on March 2 in the SAP Arena Mannheim, the women from the city on the Elbe will face USC Münster, who had already reached the final on Tuesday against Ladies in Black Aachen (3:0). The DSC women thus have a great chance to win the trophy for the first time since 2020 and become cup winners for the seventh time.

Dresden nervous at the start

In a high-class game at eye level, the hosts got off to the better start in front of 1,466 spectators. They were very powerful on serve and in attack and were well prepared tactically in blocking and defending the court. In contrast, the DSC women played very nervously and only found their rhythm better towards the end of the first set.

The Waibl players improved in the second set, served better, increased their penetration in attack and were more stable in defense. The third set was a back-and-forth affair, with the Potsdam side ultimately securing a 2:1 set lead thanks to a strong block defense.

However, the league leaders once again showed great morale and willpower. With a lot of fighting spirit, they managed to equalize the set. The tie-break remained close and exciting right to the end, but Dresden made fewer mistakes and were able to celebrate victory after 126 minutes.
