Rasic-Ognjenovic
Today, in the second match of the second round, Serbia defeated Germany in straight sets (25-14, 25-20,2 5-20) and are only one step from the third round of the competition.
Tijana Boskovic scored a match-high 17 points while Brankica Mihajlovic followed her with 15 points. In the German side, Louisa Lipmann scored 11 points and Jennifer Geerties added 10 points.
Serbia again exhibited a strong all-around game, serving, block and attacking well.
Germany made the second and third sets competitive but was not able to overcome the combination of power and finesse the Serbs showed.
