Schwerin’s Dominant Show
Schwerin made quick work of Tent Obrenovac despite a rocky start. After some initial miscommunication, the German team quickly found their rhythm. Strong serves and powerful attacks, led by Elles Dambrink and Leana Grozer, helped Schwerin rally from a slow start to win the first set 25-20.
In the second set, Schwerin was in complete control, thanks to a stellar serving streak by Britte Stuut, who helped the team build a commanding 17-6 lead. The Serbians could only manage 13 points, with Schwerin’s defensive strength leaving little room for a comeback.
The third set mirrored the previous one, with Schwerin maintaining their momentum. Despite brief resistance from Tent Obrenovac, Schwerin’s offense proved unstoppable as they closed out the set 25-18.
