East Midlands Volleyball League
Saturday 9th November 2019 Nottingham Rockets 0 Leicester Athena 3 Athena's regional league got the weekend off to a great start with a comprehensive 3-0 over an inexperienced Nottingham Rockets side. Athena started the match with Eli setting, Ioana opposite, Julia and Edyta as outside hitters and Tereza (playing despite a nasty looking ankle injury sustained last weekend) and Amanda as middle players. Joy was the libero. From the start, Athena's serving was hard and accurate and caused Rockets a lot of problems. Eli, Edyta and Amanda all served well to help Athena build up a strong lead and, although Rockets rallied late on in the set, Athena eased the first set 25-15. The second set followed the same pattern as Edyta and Tereza began to find their range and kept the momentum in Athena's direction with powerful and accurate hitting. Athena wobbled a tiny bit in the middle of the set but closed it out 25-18. For the final set, Sam replaced Tereza and slotted straight in, winning a number of points through the middle. Adela came on for Ioana to get her first court minutes of the season for the regional team. Athena showed great concentration to win the third set 25-14. It was a very good performance from Athena, Every player played their part and the togetherness and teamwork was really heartening. And well done to Tereza who, despite her injured ankle, won MVP.
