Saturday 14th December 2019 Ashfield Vipers Alumni 3 Leicester Athena 0 Athena's Regional League team's winning streak came to a crashing end at the hands of Ashfield Vipers Alumni. Athena started the first set with Eli as a setter, Julia as opposite, Alessandra and Edyta as outside, Tereza and Sam as middle and Joy as a libero. The team started well with controlled passes and very good hits from Alessandra. Edyta showed a great movement in the back court which allowed Eli to have some very good sets. However due to few mistakes while serving and receiving Vipers got into the lead and managed to close the set with 25-23. Second set looked very promising. Athena started strong with Tereza’s serves. Sam did a great job blocking most of Viper’s hits. Edyta showed a great accuracy in her hits and Joy’s back court work was outstanding. However Vipers’ would always get the ball back and after some time Athena started to make loads of mistakes due to miscommunication in the back court. The team lacked good receive what made the first pass inaccurate. Vipers won the set again with 23-20. Third set was not the best one. Girls showed a lot of good skills individually however failed to work as a team. Athena lost a lot of points due to poor serving receive. Even with Tereza and Sam’s accurate middle hits, girls lost again with the score 25-14. Congratulations to Eli for getting MVP for her hard work with getting to the ball on time and for amazing serves. Well deserved. Thank you to Julia for the match report
