Dresdner SC's volleyball players have reached the semi-finals of the German championship. Head coach Alexander Waibl's team won the second game of the play-off quarter-final (best-of-three) at USC Münster 3:2 (25:20, 22:25, 22:25, 25:23, 18:16) after trailing 1:2 in sets and secured their progress following the 3:0 win in the first clash last Saturday. Their opponents in the round of the best four will now be Allianz MTV Stuttgart, who finished first in the main round and also defeated Schwarz-Weiß Erfurt in two games.
The visitors from Saxony got off to a perfect start in front of 1,911 spectators, dictating proceedings at the start with their serving and variable attacks. However, the tide turned from the second half onwards. Münster played courageously and caused problems for Dresden with powerful serves and variable attacks.
After trailing 1:2 in the set, the Dresden side fought back with great determination in an intense match and forced the tie-break, in which they fended off two match points after leading 13:10. Marta Levinska (27 points) then took the second chance for the victorious guests after 128 thrilling minutes.
