Poland’s Katarzyna Gajgal (15) and Milena Sadurek (12) blocks against Dominican Republic.
Hong
Kong, August 16, 2009 – The
aggressive Polish wiped out the Dominicans’ last hope of victory in the FIVB
third preliminary round with 22-25, 25-23, 25-14, 13-25, 15-11 at Hong Kong Coliseum
on Sunday.
The Dominicans impressed the
audience in the first set. The remarkable strategies broke the concrete defense
of Poland.
The Dominicans led a double ahead of the Polish at 8-4 at the first TTO. Using
a good variety of spikes promoted by the setter of Dominicans, they felicitously
stretched the set at 16-9. The Dominicans concluded the set at 25-22.
Awaken from the loss in the
first set, the Polish came back with compact blocks that devastated many bullet
attacks from the Dominicans. Their impermeable defense at the net enabled Poland to lead
at both TTOs (8-6, 16-10). Despite the Dominicans snatching 7 points in a row
and tied with the Polish at 18-18, Poland managed to overcome the
furious Dominicans and take the set (25-23).
Poland opened the score in the third set and got a 4-0 run,
further securing the lead at 6-13 before the coach of the Dominicans cooling
his team down by calling for another TO. Succumbed to great pressure, the
Dominicans soon found themselves 9 points behind their opponent at the second
TTO (7-16). Poland,
with a good base to build a more solid margin of advantage, showed no mercy and
cruised on to win the set 14-25.
The Dominicans came back with
outrage in the fourth set. They grabbed four points ahead of the Polish at the
first TTO. The flame kept burning and the Polish shouted for a time out when
they were 5 points behind the Dominicans. The Dominicans led the Polish a
double at the second TTO. The Dominicans continued their attacks and won at 25-13.
The breath-taking final set
as well as the ultimate victory of game went to Poland (15-11).
